another milestone achieved in generating value for our shareholders,” states Blake Morgan, President.

About the Broken Handle Project

Located 50k m north of Grand Forks B.C. the Broken Handle project covers historical an d new mineral

showings similar in nature to those found at the prolific Franklin Camp1 located 3 km n orth. Over a 76

year peri od, the Frankl in Camp produced greater than 1,392 ,000 oz. Ag and 55,500 oz Au 2 (UNION

Minfile 082ENE003 Production Detail Report) . Two distinct styles of mineralization are evident at the

Project; polymetallic epithermal veins ( Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu +/- Au), potentially related to the regional Granby

Fault and Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au skarns associated with limestone and marble lenses in contact with intrusive

rocks.

(1) Camp refers to a colony of miners settled in proximity to a mine, or series of mines or workings.

(2) Referenced nearby historic resources, deposits and mines provide geologic context for the Project, but

are not necessarily indicative that the Project hosts similar potential, size or grades of mineralization.

Exploration work over the l ast two years resulted in the disc overy of several new showings, and the

rediscovery of old mineral workings. Th e most significant achievement was locating the Morrell Camp

that is a series of mineralized his torical workings that have not seen exploration work since the late

1920s.
