About Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd.

Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd.'s flagship Wingdam gold exploration and placer recovery project is

located along the Barkerville Highway 45 km east of the town of

Quesnel

. The property includes

hard-rock tenures totaling over 50,000 hectares (500 square kms) and in excess of 15 linear

kilometers of placer claims, both encompassing the Lightning Creek valley where topographic

conditions created a thick overburden which preserved a large portion of an underground channel

with placer gold-bearing gravels. Omineca also has a diamond drill program currently underway

exploring for the potential multiple hard rock sources of the placer gold at Wingdam.
