KEX Bayhorse Silver, Inc.

Kent Exploration Inc, ("Kent" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:KEX)(PINKSHEETS:KXPLF)(FRANKFURT:7KX) reports that Archean Star
Resources Inc. ("Archean") a Company in which Kent has a 10 million common
shareholding of, has announced it has entered into a Letter Agreement to earn an
80% interest in a Mining Lease on the historic Monitor Copper, Gold Mine in
Shoshone County, Idaho ("Monitor" or "Monitor Mine"). The historic Monitor Mine
is located approximately 30 km (17 mi) ESE from the town of Wallace, Idaho, in
the historic and highly prolific Coeur D'Alene Mining District, where, since
1884, 1.2 billion troy ounces of silver, 8.3 million tons of lead, 3.3 million
tons of zinc, 207 thousand tons of copper and 529,000 troy ounces of gold (worth
US$37 billion at today's prices) have been produced from steeply dipping narrow
veins, some of which extend from surface outcroppings to a mile or more deep.


History of Monitor Mine

Archean reports that Historic production records from past underground
exploration and development work at the Monitor Mine reported that 1,562 tons
were shipped to the Tacoma smelter in the early 1900's with average reported
smelter returns of 14.92% copper, (298.3lb/ton), 23.6 g/t silver (0.76 opt Ag)
and a reported average of 8.64 g/t Au (0.278 opt/Au) with a reported high gold
value of 68.43 g/t Au (2.2 opt/Au). Mineralization at Monitor is reported to
occur primarily as deep, continuous, high-grade vein systems, with shoots of
Bornite and high-grade Chalcopyrite with values of from 7.46% up to 30% Cu and
variable widths between 3 m (10 ft.) and 6 m (20 ft.) along with gold values to
up to 68.43 g/t Au and anomalous silver values.


Archean states that historic development work on the Monitor Mine reportedly
included a 700 ft. shaft and approximately 300 m (1,000 ft.) of development
crosscuts and drifting over five levels. 


Adjacent to the Monitor Mine and approximately 300 m (1,000 ft.) NW of the
Monitor shaft and at 80 m (240 ft) lower elevation, lies the Richmond Mine adit.
The Richmond vein, that strikes N68E, is projected to intersect the Monitor vein
approximately 480 m (1,600 ft.) WNW from the Monitor shaft. Historic assays from
the Richmond vein, that reportedly has a similar widths (10 ft.) and grades as
the Monitor vein, are reported as approximately 12% Cu, 34.1 g/t Ag (1.1 opt Ag)
and between 3.7 g/t - 10 g/t Au (0.12 opt to 0.3 opt Au). 


During the great Idaho fire of 1910 all above ground infrastructure was
destroyed and both the Monitor and Richmond mines ceased production, never to
reopen. Work recommenced on the Monitor in the late 1920s when an approximate
1.5 km drive was constructed that reportedly intersected the a 3 meter (10 foot)
wide Monitor vein approximately 300 meters (1,000 ft.) below, and 600 meters
(2,000 ft.) west of the Monitor shaft. Work reportedly ceased during the great
depression after which the mine workings were never re-opened. Historic mine
production was reportedly limited to developmental ore from the drifts and some
stoping above the 200 level.


District wide trends within adjacent properties in the Coeur D'Alene Mining
District, such as the Galena Mine and the Lucky Friday Mine, indicate
mineralized veins with widths between 3 meters to 10 meters extend to as deep as
6,100 ft.


Archean has advised that all grades reported are historic in nature, are not NI
43-101 compliant and a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify
historical estimates as a current mineral resource. Archean is not treating any
historical estimates as a current mineral resource and any historical estimates
should not be relied upon.


Archean announces that in order for it to earn an 80% interest as per the terms
of the Agreement, and subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange
("TSX-V"), Archean must incur property expenditures of US$2.1 million over three
(3) years and issue three (3) million common shares of Archean; one (1) million
common shares upon signing, one (1) million common shares on the first
anniversary of the Agreement and one (1) million common shares on the second
anniversary of the Agreement.


Archean reports it has engaged Dr. G. E. Ray, Ph.D. P.Geol to undertake a NI
43-101-Compliant Report on the Monitor Property. Dr. Clay Conway, Ph.D. P.
Geol., a qualified person and a director of Archean will be heading up the
concurrent exploration program on the Monitor Property.


Kent Exploration Inc. is a junior exploration company with a 100% interest in
all its major projects, and is planning on building shareholder value through
establishing cash flow from its Flagstaff Mountain, WA, barite mine, and then
from its now wholly owned bentonite property in Nevada. Any positive cash flow
is intended to reduce dilution and fund exploration on its three major gold
prospects (Alexander River, Paparoa and Lyell), in the highly prolific West
Coast South Island gold fields of New Zealand. Additional shareholder value has
been established through its approximately 18% interest in Archean Star
Resources Inc, ("Archean") which is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the
symbol ASP.


The Company has an experienced management and technical team with extensive
exploration expertise and offers investors the potential for a major gold
discovery on its New Zealand gold projects.


This News Release has been prepared on behalf of the Kent Exploration Inc. Board
of Directors, which accepts full responsibility for its contents. The contents
of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Clay Conway, P.
Geol., a Qualified Person as recognized by National Instrument NI-43-101 and a
