These results confirm the presence of high grade, near surface copper
mineralization in this location. Three additional holes were drilled in this
area and assays are pending. All assays in excess of 2% were tested for acid
solubility and these generally exceeded 95% acid soluble copper. 


The remaining holes in the Solwezi Northwest program will test anomalies from a
recently completed geophysical survey using an electromagnetic system (NSAMT)
and from soil geochemical programs. All targets are within 10km of the Kansanshi
mine, the largest copper mine in Africa, which is operated by First Quantum
Minerals (FQM-T).


The Company also intends to drill the significant Kifubwe nickel and copper soil
anomalies overlying the favourable Upper and Lower Roan Formations. These
geological formations host numerous deposits in the Zambian Copperbelt.


The Company's recently prepared NI 43-101 compliant report entitled "Technical
Report on the Geology and Exploration Summary of the Solwezi Group of
Prospecting Licences" is available on the company's website here, as well as on
www.sedar.com. 


All drilling is being carried out by Layne Drilling, a world leader in RC
drilling, and assaying is being completed by Genalysis Laboratory Services, an
accredited lab located in South Africa.
