Commencing around 28 Nocv 2011

"The diamond drilling programme is designed to recover a total of approximately 250kg of ore zone material
from the three domains which will be used for the first stage of a detailed metallurgical testwork programme
to be conducted for the Company by Como Engineers Pty Ltd and Amdel Mineral Laboratories.

In addition to providing Northwest with information on gold and antimony recovery which will be used in
process flow design evaluation and capital cost estimates, the metallurgical test work programme is designed
to produce sample Au-Sb floatation concentrates from each of the domains.

Assay analysis of the metal
content of the floatation concentrates will enable Northwest to advance its ongoing discussions with parties
interested in potential Au-Sb concentrate off-take and smelting arrangements with the Company.
The diamond drilling program is expected to take around 2 months to complete and the metallurgical
testwork programme will be undertaken concurrently with the drilling programme, with final testwork results
expected around 5 weeks following completion of the drilling programme."

Early promise possibly.
