located in northern, BC. Snowbird High Grade Gold Property Phase III, 4,400 metre diamond drilling
program - $770,000; Maroon Gold Project surface work including MAG and VLF, mapping and soil
sampling - $112,500; rent - $10,800; office - $6,000; legal, audit and accounting - $18,000; offering

About the Snowbird High Grade Gold Project
The Company has completed two diamond drill programmes on its Snowbird High Grade Gold
Project located near Fort St. James, British Columbia. The planned Phase III drilling programme
will focus on the Main Zone and will test the continuity of the mineralization at depth with
drilling significantly deeper than all previous drilling with planned hole lengths up to
approximately 400 metres. The Snowbird Project’s logistics allows for drilling year-round and
cost efficient drilling which over the last two diamond drilling programmes averaged
approximately C$175/metre all-in.
Main Zone Highlights – Snowbird Gold Project
The Main Zone is the focus for the planned Phase III drilling. The zone has consistently
delivered high grade results either through historical adit and trench sampling; diamond drilling
in the early and late-1980’s or by Gitennes’ two diamond drilling programmes (see tables
below).

Based on Gitennes’ work and a review of historical information, high-grade gold occurs within
and adjacent to the 25 to 150 metre wide silica-carbonate altered ultramafic unit in areas of high
deformation (faulting/shearing) and is associated with key pathfinder elements arsenic and
antimony. Gold in quartz veins is predominantly hosted within 10 metres of the footwall contact
between the overlying mudstone altered ultramafic.
Gitennes’ review of historic drilling in combination with contemporary drilling from the Phase I
and II programme suggests that the down dip extension of the Main Zone mineralization may
steepen at depth. Phase III drilling will test this to depths of between 300 and 400 metres below
surface. Note that almost all historical drilling has been to an average vertical depth of only
about 75 metres. Success in this phase of drilling could triple the resource of the Main Zone.
