Exploring a Diverse, High-Quality Portfolio of Mineral Projects in Western Canada and Guatemala


Torlon Hill Project, Guatemala (ZINC) - New zone of high-grade zinc discovered in 2007. Exploration has been highlighted by many high-grade drill intersections from a 3,493-metre drill program

Sonora Project, Yukon Territory (GOLD, SILVER, COPPER) - High-grade drill intercepts open at depth. Located near Sherwood Copper’s Minto mine development. Drilling to start in summer, 2007.

Alberta Sun Project, Alberta (URANIUM) - Initial surface exploration for roll-front uranium deposits yields positive results on a large land position.




TORLON HILL PROJECT - Zinc

  • 41-hole, 3,493-metre drill program now complete.
  • New zone of high-grade zinc discovered on west side of Torlon Hill.
  • Significant intersections of high-grade zinc during drill campaign, with key assays from 3% to 42.3% zinc and 0.5% to 4.5% lead. Widths of mineralization ranged from 1.5 to 53 metres.
  • Mineralization is mostly smithsonite (zinc) and lead carbonates with minor amounts of lead sulphide (galena).
  • SGS Lakefield Limited to conduct preliminary metallurgical testing.

SONORA PROJECT - Gold, Silver, Copper

  • Drilled 1,821 metres in 12 holes, late 2006. Next phase of exploration, including 2,725 metres of drilling, is scheduled to begin summer 2007.
  • Amadeus Zone returned drill intercept of 6.21 g/t Au across 15.3 m, open at depth, including 12.9 g/t Au across 5.0 m.
  • High-grade intersection open at depth in area never drilled.
  • Results of separate 2006 Amadeus Zone hole included intercept of 50.1 g/t silver, with 0.321 g/t gold across 19.9 meters.
  • 40 km from Sherwood Copper’s Minto mine development project.

ALBERTA SUN PROJECT – Uranium

  • Firestone holds 100% interest in 207,750 acres prospective for roll-front uranium deposits.
  • Completed 2,384 line kilometers of airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveying in 2006/2007.
  • TerraNotes of Edmonton, Alberta currently conducting preliminary analysis of data, to be followed by sophisticated modeling of the dataset.
  • Main purpose of the survey is identify buried stream channels and potential sites of sandstone-hosted uranium.
