Drilling at the Dufferin Mine



PRESS RELEASE
Drilling at the Dufferin Mine
Rimouski, 11 January 2010 - Ressources Appalaches (APP-TSX-V) has carried out 3,173 metres
of drilling on its Dufferin property in Nova Scotia.

In all, 23 drillholes were completed and 1,184
samples were collected and analyzed for gold.

In order to perform a preliminary resource
calculation consistent with Canadian Standard 43-101, the first six Saddle Reef type veins were
systematically drilled at intervals (cross-sections) of 75 to 150 metres over a length of 600 metres
and down to a maximum depth of 210 metres.

A few holes were also drilled to check on veins
located within 50 metres of the surface, and to confirm the continuation of these veins over a
length of 650 metres.
Gold particles up to one millimetre in diameter were seen in just over 25 % of the drillholes.

The
veins (Saddle Reef Veins) were intersected as anticipated in a regular and repetitive
configuration, with no displacement by faults, as indicated by the 2008 drill campaign.

In order to
define the resources more precisely, drilling was concentrated on the first six (saddle reef) veins,
above a depth of 210 metres.

In 2009 no drillholes targeted the underlying veins, even though
earlier drilling had indicated the presence of seven other veins of the same type above a depth of
about 400 metres.
