Milligan Copper, Gold Mine (299Mt @ 0.22% Cu, .45 g/t Au).  To date there has been in excess of 50,000 feet of diamond drilling in 104 holes at Fran, primarily at the Bullion Alley Zone.   A gold deposit, 3700 feet in length, with width of up to 120 feet, and depth of over 700 feet has been delineated.  The deposit contains 3 to 4 well defined parallel gold veins grading up to 2.6 troy ounces of gold per ton as well as wide sections of low and mid-grade gold in veins and disseminated in veinlets throughout the deposit. Surface trenching has identified a near surface sub-zone where the gold bearing veins swell and are accessible from surface.  In addition, samples have assayed up to 1.68% copper and 5.1 troy ounces per ton silver.  There is property wide potential for additional discoveries of gold and copper with numerous showings outside of the Bullion Alley Zone.

Exploration

During the week of May 13-17, the Company completed on-site exploration for the purpose of data verification in support of a maiden NI 43-101 Resource Estimate and bulk sample.  A target zone of approximately 5,000 tons was delineated, flagged, and check sampled in trenches where prior assays reported up to 1.8 troy ounces per ton (see Picture 1). Surface assays, trench assays and correlated drill results appear to show this area as the primary gold zone.  This zone will remain the focus of the bulk sample and related exploration and mining activity.
