Bellekino high-grade silver mine.
The Company completed geochemistry soil surveys and geological
prospecting in June 2011, with results pending. Once all data has
been received and interpreted, additional work is planned for these
claim groups in order to seek drilling targets. The Company will
announce plans for this season once finalized.

deposit at the time of the detailed geological paper by Robinson
and Godwin in 1995, is a large moderate grade deposit optioned by

100% interest on November 30, 2008. In total, from 2006 to 2008,
the Company has expended approximately $3.6 million, not including
property payments. Based on 1991 and previous drilling programs,
