    2008 Season Highlights

    -   Completed requirements to earn a 100% interest in the Whistler
        Project from Kennecott;

    -   Extended mineralization to a vertical depth of 625 metres on the Main
        Zone with 726.8 metres grading 0.48 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold,
        0.87 g/t silver, 0.14% copper (or 0.76 g/t gold equivalent) which
        included 82 metres averaging 2.01 g/t gold, 1.12 g/t silver, 0.39%
        copper (or 2.76 g/t gold equivalent) in drill hole WH-08-08;

    -   Identified higher-grade zone north of the Main Zone intersecting
        76 metres grading 0.61 g/t gold, 0.27% copper, 4.16 g/t silver (or
        1.18 g/t gold equivalent) in drill hole WH-08-10;

    -   Mineralization encountered in three regional targets:

        -  RainTree West Prospect (1.5 km from Main Zone) with 160 metres
           grading 0.59 g/t gold, 6.02 g/t silver, 0.10% copper, 0.20% lead
           and 0.46% zinc (or 1.26% gold equivalent) which includes 24 metres
           grading 1.37 g/t gold, 6.32 g/t silver, 0.13% copper, 0.36% lead
           and 0.80% zinc (or 2.42 g/t gold equivalent) in drill hole
           RN-08-06;

        -  RainMaker Prospect (2.4 km from Main Zone) with 151.6 metres
           grading 0.37 g/t gold, 0.18% copper, 1.83 g/t silver including
           83.0 metres grading 0.47 g/t gold, 0.21% copper, (or 0.86 g/t gold
           equivalent) in drill hole RM-08-01; and

        -  RainTree East Prospect (2.5 km from Main Zone) with 20 metres
           grading 0.38 g/t gold and 0.15% copper in drill hole RN-08-05.

    -   Advanced reconnaissance and targeting work at high-grade Muddy Creek
        gold prospects:

        -  Rock chip samples on the Bonanza Prospect returned values up to
           69.12 g/t gold, 424 g/t silver and 1.96% copper; and

        -  Defined 7 distinct gold drill targets at Muddy Creek from data
           integration, analysis and reconnaissance.

    A summary of the 7 prospects at Muddy Creek include:

    -   Bonanza Prospect with rock chip sampling returning up to 69.12 g/t
        gold, 424 g/t silver and 1.96% copper. Average rock-chip samples of
        9.04 g/t gold, 97.26 g/t silver and 0.55% copper along a 400 metre
        outcropping strike length of a diorite/sedimentary contact.

    -   Muddy Creek Central anomaly with outcropping monzonite (an intrusive
        rock) over a strike-length of 2 km by 1 km. Rock chip samples average
        5.1 g/t gold with a peak value of 111.5 g/t gold and soil samples
        average 1,200 parts per billion ("ppb") gold over an area 400 metres
        by 270 metres.

    -   Muddy Creek West anomaly with outcropping monzonite and monzonite
        porphyry 2 km by 0.5 km. Rock-chip samples average 3.46 g/t gold,
        11.8 g/t silver and 0.29% copper and soil samples average 1,791 ppb
        gold.

    -   Eos Prospect with a 1,400 metre diameter magnetic geophysical anomaly
        located under pediment/gravel cover with surface soil samples up to
        197 ppb gold. Average soil samples returned 50 ppb, however the
        gravel cover is interpreted to be several metres thick in this area.

    -   Saruman Prospect with 1,200 metre diameter magnetic geophysical
        anomaly located under pediment/gravel cover with 175 ppb average gold
        in soil anomaly.

    -   Shire Prospect with 3.5 km by 1 km magnetic geophysical anomaly under
        cover with scattered outcrop of sedimentary rocks and monzonite
        intrusive rocks. Rock chip samples average 0.15 g/t gold and soil
        samples average 450 ppb gold, 1.17 parts per million ("ppm") silver
        and 387 ppm copper.

    -   MC Stockwork Prospect with outcropping clay-carbonate stockwork veins
        hosted by sedimentary rocks with mapped strike-length of
        approximately 800 metres. Rock chip samples average 1.10 g/t gold and
        soil samples average 599 ppb gold.
