	    *  Drillhole length is 2.9 metres.  True thickness is 2.2 metres
	    ** A polymetallic deposit is best evaluated with a common dollar
denominator. The calculated copper equivalent is at a long-term copper price
of $2.50/lb, lead $0.90/lb, zinc $1.00/lb, gold $1,000/oz and silver $15/oz as
estimated post-2013 by BMO Capital Markets; and assumed mill recoveries of the
five metals, in the same order, of 85%, 78%, 77%, 60% and 60%. 
	    Hole 019A opens up a large untested area along strike to the northwest
and down dip from the previously delineated mineral resource described in the
Company's NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared by SRK Consulting dated
September 26, 2008, copies of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or
the Company's website at www.pebcreek.com.
	    The drill core is NQ3 with 45 mm diameter, extracted from a triple-tube
core barrel and sawed lengthwise into two equal parts, one retained and one
complete split sent to Shiva Analyticals, Bangalore, India, an ISO 9001 and
17025 certified laboratory. Shiva analysed the base metals by CPOES, gold by
lead fire assay with AAS finish, and silver by ICPOES. Shiva also concurrently
ran six check assays with standards and duplicates.
