TAD to Recommence Highest Priority Gold Drill Program

TAD Mineral Exploration Inc. ("TAD") (TSX VENTURE:TJ) wishes to announce that it
has recommenced operations on the Hazelton North Prospect located approximately
20km north of Hazleton, British Columbia. The next phase of operations will
consist of geophysical surveys, geological mapping, and trenching, which will
enable TAD to focus in on the highest priority drill targets. Drilling is
expected to follow as soon as the targets are finalized. 


Jason Gigliotti, a director of TAD stated, "The next phase of operations is
targeting the most highly prospective areas that are located on the Hazelton
Prospect. This area that will be focused on during this phase of operations is
primarily only accessible in the summer, therefore we are now finally able to
drill this portion of the property which is the primary reason we acquired this
property. With just over 23 million shares outstanding, any positive results
could have a substantial impact on the company's growth."


If you would like to be added to TAD's update list please send an email to

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD.
