Mr. James C. Ashleman, P.Geo., is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Most samples are crushed at the on-site crushing facility. Crushed samples are then sent to either the DalGeophysical Laboratory, Khabarovsk Russia or Irgiredmet Laboratory of Chita, Russia (both accredited by the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Standardization and Metrology "Gosstandart" of Russia) and to ALS Chemex, Vancouver, BC for preparation of pulps and subsequent analyses. Samples that do not undergo on-site crushing are first sent to either the DalGeophysical Lab or Irgiredmet Lab for crushing and grinding, then analyzed at the Russian lab, and pulp duplicates sent to ALS Chemex for check analyses. All drill samples undergo check gold fire assay at ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C. prior to release of results to the public. Samples from all drill holes include pulp standards and blanks inserted as part of Fortress' Quality Control Program at a frequency of one standard for approximately every ten samples submitted.
