Property NewsJuly 20, 2005 Announced the identification of several soil anomalies across the Henry Lee Creek project area. The Jun/05 program focused on systematic soil sampling, with prospecting and geological mapping, centered on a diorite stock first identified during the 2004 exploration program. Survey results identified a molybdenum anomaly, with a threshold value of 10 ppm Mo and values to 82 ppm Mo, covering the majority of an 800 by 400m area over the western portion of the surveyed area. The most pronounced portion of this anomaly occurs just northeast of the newly discovered “Crow Jane” outcrop showing, with copper-in-soil values to 900 ppm, Au values to 95 ppb and Ag values to 1.7 ppm (1.7 g/t), all open to the west. Two composite grab rock samples from the Crow Jane showing itself returned values of 1.05% Cu with 15 ppm Mo, 450 ppb Au and 6.3 g/t Ag, and 0.58% Cu with 175 ppm Mo, 280 ppb Au and 3.0 ppm Ag respectively. To date, four NQ-sized diamond drill holes have been completed on the project area, as follow-up to intercepts of disseminated and fracture-filling copper – silver mineralization intersected in 2004.

To date, four NQ-sized diamond drill holes have been completed on the project area, as follow-up to intercepts of disseminated and fracture-filling copper – silver mineralization intersected in 2004. June 23, 2005 Drilling has commenced. The program is comprised of 2,150-metre NQ core in 10 holes targeting extensions of favourable stratigraphy and induced polarization geophysical anomalies hosting disseminated copper sulphide mineralization discovered in 2004. All holes are located within the Northstar project area. The program will also target depth extension of surface coppersilver sulphide mineralization with some gold enrichment within the northern portion of the dilational corridor. The program will also include detailed surface exploration, including geological mapping and rock and soil geochemical sampling, at the Henry Lee Creek project area, discovered in 2004 southwest of the Northstar project area. Exploration will lead to identification of potential drill targets in the vicinity of a granitic stock and adjacent mineralized andesitic volcanics.
