Corporate Update 

The 2012 summer drill program at the Ken Zone of the Newmont Lake Project, B.C.
encountered significant Scandium mineralization in addition to the targeted gold
and copper. The news release on November 13, 2012 referred to the drill results,
including an intersection of 198 metres averaging 0.23 g/t Au and 32.67 g/t
Scandium. Scandium is very scarce, and is used as an alloying agent in
aerospace, solar cells, fuel cells and high intensity lamps. In a processed
format, scandium oxide is extremely valuable. The Company is following up this
new aspect of mineralization with metallurgical testing to assess the
significance of the scandium discovery. 


Other recent activity has been in the Timmins, Ontario gold camp where drill
results from 2012 are currently being analysed. 


We are currently in the process of planning our 2013 exploration activities as
well as investigating a number of other options and will be announcing any
significant developments in due course. 


The technical information contained in this press release has been reviewed and
approved by Mr. Thomas Skimming, P. Eng, Vice-President, Exploration and
Director, and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
