Stage #1: A 525 foot drift to the southwest with Drill Station #1 at the end.
Drilling here indicated lode structure which directed the Company to go west.
(See news release August 27, 2009)


Stage #2: A 300 foot drift (See news release October 7, 2009) westward into the
footwall of the Main Lode structure and was recently completed. Drifting in the
footwall, or below the lode, will allow the Company to use gravity in the
removal of mineralized material should there be any identified within the lode.
Drill Station #2 is currently being cut at the end of this drift and diamond
drilling will take place in the New Year. Drilling from Station #2 will be
towards the Main Lode structure to determine if mineralization is evident. The
initial program, approximately 2000 feet planned, is expected to be completed by
mid-March.


Stage #3: While diamond drilling is taking place at Station #2, a 300 foot
extension to the Stage #2 drift will commence with a diamond drill station cut
at the end. This drift will continue on in a westward direction unless the lode
structure alters. Work is planned to be completed near the end of February.
Drifting may be stopped in the event that mineralized zones are located through
diamond drilling from Station #2.


The "Main Lode" structure is more than 8 kilometers long, extending east from
Silverton on Slocan Lake to Sandon through the "Silver Ridge" of the Selkirk
Mountains some 50 kilometers north of Nelson, B.C.


The Company holds the ground for approximately 1.5 km to the west of this
productive zone, to within 0.5 km of the Mammoth Mine. This program represents
the first attempt since the early 1990s to explore west towards the Mammoth,
Standard and the other major "Main Lode" producers.


The Silvana Mine is one of 29 former producers staked or acquired by the Company
within the Slocan Camp. Other assets include extensive exploration lands and a
fully permitted 100-tonne-per-day (TPD) flotation mill.


The Silvana Mine produced approximately 8 million ounces of silver and more than
30,000 tons each of lead and zinc from 550,000 tons of mill-feed mined from a
1.5-kilometer section of the "Main Lode" under Silver Ridge. This section was
explored, developed and mined almost continuously from 1970 to 1993 by the
Silmonac Syndicate and its successors, including Kam-Kotia Mines Limited,
Silvana Mines Inc., Dickenson Mines Limited and Treminco Resources Ltd. Sporadic
mining has since been conducted by other companies, including Klondike Silver.
