THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY
OR ACCURACY OF THIS NEWS RELEASE.

This news release includes certain forward looking statements in respect
to various issues including upcoming events. These forward looking statements
are based upon current expectations which involve risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially.  Mineral
exploration is subject to a high degree of risk, which even a combination of
experience, knowledge, and careful evaluation may fail to overcome.
Exploration activities seldom result in the discovery of a commercially viable
mineral resource. Exploration activities are also expensive. The Company will
therefore require additional financing to carry on its business, and such
financing may not be available when it is needed.  The Company disclaims any
obligation to revise any forward looking statements as a result of information
received after the fact or regarding future events.
