Explor Resources inc., will pay a total of $110,000 CDN and issue 5,000,000 common shares over a 2 year period for an Option to acquire a 100% interest in the Timmins Porcupine West Gold Property.

The property has been explored since 1927 by numerous ground geophysical surveys and diamond drilling of up to 111 holes. In 1984, Dome Exploration discovered and delineated a gold mineralized zone that is approximately 350 meters long and 45 meters wide. The zone strikes east northeast and dips to the north at 70 to 80 degrees. Drill programs by Teck Corporation, Cameco Gold and TOM Exploration Inc., have extended the mineralization to 350 meters of depth. The gold mineralization to date appears to be associated with a major porphyry unit.

The most significant deposits in Timmins are spatially associated with porphyry units that are in proximity to the Porcupine Destor Fault. The deposits appear to be also associated with splay faults that trend off to the North of the Porcupine Destor fault inside an interpreted splay fault corridor as shown on the attached plan.

The Timmins Porcupine West Project has as a Target Model "The Hollinger-McIntyre-Coniaurum System." The Hollinger-McIntyre-Coniaurum (HMC) System has produced a total of over 30 million oz of gold is spatially associated with the Pearl Lake Porphyry. The high-grade gold bearing quartz veins which hosted the bulk of the gold at the HMC occurred in the adjacent mafic volcanics, located outboard from the porphyry itself.

Explor intends on the utilization of the existing historical data to create a 3D litho and mineralization model to generate high quality drill targets with an interpreted significant gold mineralization inside that corridor favourable rock package.
