The proposed program is tentatively scheduled to commence\nOctober 29, 2007 beginning with preparation of a detailed grid and soil\nsampling, followed by the IP and diamond drill programs in early November.\n\n\nThe grid being prepared will consist of 11 lines oriented perpendicular\nto the trend of the molybdenum-bearing vein accessed by the Ben Derby adit. A\n1.1 km baseline will extend 1.1 km northeast from the Ben Derby adit, parallel\nto the trend of the vein (060 degrees - 240 degrees). Survey lines 1 km long\nwill be oriented 150 degrees - 330 degrees. The survey line will be\nperpendicular to the baseline, with individual lines spaced every 50 m, so as\nto provide a tight sample spacing for both soil and IP programs.\n\n\nThe geophysical program will consist of a detailed 3D Induced Potential\nsurvey, intended to test the response of narrow, high grade,\nmolybdenum-bearing quartz veins with respect to host rocks. The combination of\nsoil sample results and the IP survey over the detailed test grid is expected\nto allow direct comparison between analytical soil and IP results for future\napplication on the property.\n\n\nThe Company is tentatively scheduled to initiate a diamond drill program\nin early November tocontinue evaluation of molybdenum-bearing veins\n(previously reported in News Releases dated July 27, 2006, July 4, 2007 and\nOctober 22, 2007). The program will consist of 9 drill pads located along\nexisting roads. A total of 11 holes are proposed, oriented toward azimuth\n150 degrees (southeast) and inclined at -45 degrees (the shallowest\ninclination feasible), so as to produce drill hole intercepts with the vein\narray at approximately 35 degrees. Several steeper holes may be drilled from\npads close to the surface projection of the vein system so as to determine the\ndown-dip continuity and extent of the veins, with correspondingly shallower\ncore - vein intercepts.\n\n\nThe proposed program is expected to be completed by mid-December and\nprovide valuable information on the vein system, its orientat...
