Grande Portage intends to drill approximately 18-20 holes from up to four different platforms which will test

up to four separate major veins and their satellite structures. The 20 20 drill program is a continuation of

previous drilling which successfully tested multiple gold-quartz veins of the Herbert mesothermal vein system

with very encouraging results. The curr ent drill program will test targets focusing on the expansion of the

gold-bearing Goat, Main and Deep Trench veins. It will also test the Floyd vein and the newly discovered

Elusive vein which was identified by LiDAR and verified on surface as a quartz vein bearing visible gold.

drill program at the Herbert gold project in Alaska. The Company has generated many very encouraging high-

grade drill results in each of its previous drill campaigns . We are now well positioned to follow up on this

summer’s drilling program which is entirely focused on expansion.”

incentive stock options to various directors, officers and consultants to purchase up to 650,000 common
