Dufay Property Update

In order to concentrate on the advancement of its flagship Launay property, on January 30th, 2013, the Company terminated the option agreement on the Dufay property, northwestern Quebec.

Launay Property: Km-scale Gold in Soil Anomalies

The Launay property straddles nearly 22 km of the Macamic deformation zone ("MDZ"): a major deformation zone in the Abitibi subprovince located north of the Porcupine-Destor deformation zone. The property claims cover several known gold occurrences associated with the MDZ. These gold showings form a trend over 17 km long and several display significant historical gold drill intersections.

Historical geochemical humus and B horizon sampling has revealed a broad trend of gold in soil anomalies some 6 km long and up to 1.5 km wide. Anomaly highlights include up to 480 ppb Au in humus samples and up to 1200 ppb Au in B horizon samples (www.lakesideminerals.com: see Corporate Presentation).

These soil anomalies are centred some 9 km southeast and along strike with the Trojan block where a 2012 first phase drill program (www.lakesideminerals.com: see January 15, 2013 press release) cut significant gold mineralization including:

		29.00 g/t Au over 1.5 m
		10.31 g/t Au over 3.0 m, which includes 17.90 g/t Au over 1.5 m
		3.26 g/t Au over 6.0 m, which includes 7.08 g/t Au over 1.5 m

These soil anomalies straddle or border large magnetic highs, inferred ultramafic units, in close proximity to a major splay off the MDZ. These anomalies have never been drill tested.
