TUOLE

The planned 2000 meter diamond drill program is scheduled to begin on the Tuole West permit in late August 2008. In addition to the diamond drilling, a program of surface trenching on Area C of the Tuole West permit is planned.

The 2008 exploration work program includes diamond drilling of 2050 m on Area A expected to start by August 2008. As well, the program includes surface trenching of 1,160 m³ on Area C on the Western Tuole Exploration permit, surface trenching of 400 m³ on Northern Tuole Au Exploration permit, and soil geochemical survey of 4.0 km² on Eastern Tuole Au Exploration permit. During 2007, surface trenching on Area A has determined three gold-bearing alteration zones, hosted by fault fracture zones. These alteration zones trend approximately east-west and dip steely to the north, with strike length ranging from 100 metres to about 800 metres and width ranging from 8 metres to 20 metres. As well, surface trenching on Area C intercepted widespread Cu mineralization. This preliminary work will be followed up by further trenching, sampling and diamond drilling during 2008. (Feb 29/08)

Further exploration was completed during 2006 and an active exploration program in the field was underway, consisting of mapping, sampling, trenching, geophysical and geochemical surveys and to identify drill targets. A diamond drill program is planned for the spring of 2008.
