    Phoenix Structure

    Crocodile Gold has also continued definition drilling into the Phoenix structure during 2013. Drill results continue to reaffirm good continuity of the known estimated Mineral Resources in this area (see Figures 1, 2 & 3). There is no drilling on the Phoenix structure south of 6500mN for a distance of 450 metres in strike length. The Company expects to complete additional exploration drilling on the Phoenix structure south of the 6500mN during 2014. Crocodile Gold currently has three underground diamond drill rigs conducting work on various targets at Fosterville Gold Mine.

    Progressive geological modeling and mining studies on both the Phoenix and the Lower Phoenix mineralized structures have resulted in the development of two independent mining areas, Central and Phoenix (See Figures 2, 3 & 4). The Central decline will continue to provide access to the existing Phoenix estimated Mineral Reserves and southern estimated Mineral Resource extensions, which are now the subject of upcoming reserve studies. The Phoenix decline development, which commenced in February 2013, will provide access to the Lower Phoenix Mineral Reserve. Anticipated resource extensions north and south of the Lower Phoenix estimated Mineral Reserve will also be accessed from this decline. Ventilation upgrades are ongoing throughout 2014, to service the future operation of the Central and Phoenix mining areas.

    Rodney Lamond, President and CEO of Crocodile Gold, commented on the recent results: "The Company continues to focus its exploration strategy on near-term drilling targets as part of our planning for sustainable production and I am very encouraged with the recent drilling results from the Phoenix exploration program. The results confirm the down plunge extension of the Phoenix orebody and suggest that we may be able to extend our current Life of Mine (LOM) plans. In addition, the mineralization appears to separate into two distinct mining zones: the Phoenix and Lower Phoenix ore zones. As the mining focus moves towards these new ore zones, the Company has already commenced a $4.5 million underground ventilation upgrade that will service the growing Phoenix orebody and facilitate the increased mining activity on the two new mining horizons."
