TAD Mineral Exploration: First Drill Program to Commence at Hazleton Prospect

TAD Mineral Exploration ("TAD") (TSX VENTURE:TJ) wishes to announce that the
drill program on TAD's Hazelton Property has now commenced. The drilling program
will test both depth and strike potential of mineralized vein structures located
within the American Boy mineral zone. Three drill pads have been completed to
test the #6 vein. Drilling is anticipated to take between 2-4 weeks to complete.


Jason Gigliotti, a director of TAD stated, "We are now entering the most
important period of potential growth for TAD. The current drill program marks an
important milestone since the company went public, and management is optimistic
about the outcome of the program. TAD currently only has 23,143,200 million
shares outstanding."


The Hazelton South Property is located approximately seven kilometres northeast
of Hazleton in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia. Access to the
property is gained by paved and gravel mining roads, which transect the Hazelton
South claims proper. Secondary mining roads provide access to the known
mineralized zones.


Gold-silver veins on the Hazelton Property have been exposed on surface for up
to 160 meters. Consistently highly anomalous values of up to 9.9 g/t gold, 1115
g/t silver, 1816 ppm Cu, 5.83% Pb, and 4.46% Zn, indicate prime exploration
targets.


Greg Thomson, P. Geo. is the Qualified Person for the Hazelton Prospect and has
