Active Growth Capital Commences Work Program on Bohan and Grants Options

   Active Growth Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ACK) is pleased to announce that an exploration program has begun for the Bohan Property located 20km northeast of Creston in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia. The program has been separated into three phases with each subsequent phase being conditional on favourable results from the preceding phase.

The property is prospective for Pb/Zn SEDEX and Manto style replacement mineralization. Phase I diamond drilling program is targeting a, previously un-tested, coincident lead & zinc soil anomaly. Supported by helicopter, the program is planned for 600m of drilling in 3 holes, and expected to take 10 days to complete. The property is favorably located with respect to power and rail infrastructure. TerraLogic Exploration Inc., based out of Cranbrook, B.C., is operating the project on behalf of the Corporation.

If results of this exploration program are positive, information collected will be used to identify new targets for more diamond drilling.
