About Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd.

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

located 45 km east of

Quesnel B.C.

on the Barkerville highway. The Wingdam property includes

mineral tenures totalling over 50,000 hectares (500 square km) and in excess of 15 linear kilometers

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

created thick layers of overburden, which preserved a large portion of a buried paleochannel

containing placer gold-bearing gravels. Omineca also has a diamond drill program under way

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