Veris Gold Corp. announced assay results from its 2012 underground drilling program at the Jerritt Canyon gold operation in Nevada, USA. Jerritt Canyon is operated by Queenstake Resources USA Inc. The Smith Zone 5 drill program included 13 diamond core holes (SMI-LX-813 through SMI-LX-825) totaling 13,710 ft.

(4,181.6 m). The program commenced in early May, 2012 and concluded at the end of September, 2012. Assaying of all samples from the 2012 underground drill program reported in this release were conducted by ALS Laboratory Group in Reno, Nevada using standard fire assay techniques.

Assay intercepts are reported as drilled. True widths have not yet been calculated; given the geometry of the mineralization at Jerritt Canyon, the concept of true width is not always meaningful before delineation drilling has been completed.
