According to the Yukon Geological Survey (Minfile #105O 015) exploration began in 1974. In 1974 grid soil sampling and bulldozer trenching located more than 10 galena-bearing veins containing galena with high silver to lead ratios. The best exposures were in Zone 12 where a 0.3 to 0.9 m wide lens of massive galena assaying 3,773 grams/ton silver (Ag) was exposed in a northeast-trending fault for a length of 40 m. The property changed hands in 1983. During 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986 Dawson Eldorado Mines Ltd. extracted 1125 tons of ore from surface to produce 188,000 ounces of Silver.

Investors are cautioned that the quantity of silver production referenced above comes from third party non complaint 43-101 reports and while it is believed to be accurate, company personnel have not verified these production records and therefore cannot verify the claims and it is therefore provided only for illustration purposes.

The closing of this transaction is subject to a due diligence review and the filing and approval by regulatory authorities.
