"The Palomar Lake Extension is a significant addition to one of the Company's
highest priority properties in the West Timmins Camp and we look forward to the
commencement of early stage exploration. The property is intersected by a splay
off the Destor Porcupine Fault which is believed to be a major controlling
structure for mineralization throughout the Timmins Camp," comments Company
President, Richard Hughes. "The Company's strategy is to continue advancing its
precious metal projects in the West Timmins along with its flagship property,
the Michelle Silver/Lead/Zinc project, located in the Yukon Territory, which
recently announced initial results from its 2009 summer/fall exploration
program."


The Palomar Lake Extension property consists of six claims (76 units) located in
the Keith Township of Porcupine Mining Division. The property is accessible by
road and is approximately 70 km southwest of Timmins. Consideration for the
property consists of $9,000. There is a 3% NSR, 1% of which may be purchased for
$1,000,000. There is also 100,000 common shares payable upon completion of a
positive feasibility study.


The Company's website is currently being redesigned and will have further
information on each of the properties available in the near future.
