Highlights
On January 21, 2010 the Company announced that it has awarded the contract to complete a feasibility study on the Schaft Creek copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit to Wardrop, a Tetra Tech Company (Wardrop). It is expected that the feasibility study will be completed in the fourth quarter 2010.

In conjunction with completion of the feasibility study, the Company is preparing the documentation necessary to file its environmental permit application for the development of the Schaft Creek project.

During the last quarter, the Company focused on completing all outstanding geotechnical studies completed during the 2008 field season. In addition to these studies sampling and collection of data for the ongoing environmental studies of the area around the Schaft Creek continued. The completion of the geotechnical studies and ongoing environmental sampling and data collection has allowed the Company to commence preparation of a feasibility study on the Schaft Creek deposit.

One significant highlight of the 2008 field work, the results of which were received in late 2009 was the identification of two large Induced Polarization/Resistivity ("IP Anomalies") anomalies on the Schaft Creek project located in northwest British Columbia, Canada. The Induced Polarization/ Resistivity Survey was completed over a 6.2 square kilometre (sq km) area located between the Schaft Creek copper-molybdenum-gold-silver deposit and Mess Creek a distance of 2,800 meters (m). Induced Polarization/ Resistivity ("IP") surveys are commonly used in the mineral industry to explore for copper porphyry style of mineralization similar to that at Schaft Creek.

Selected Financial Information

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
During the fourth quarter the Company's working capital improved by $647,022 to $2,544,341. This was as a result of the Company completing a $1.9 million (net of $21,296 in selling costs) financing in October. This money is being used to continue with the feasibility study and for general corporate purposes. The Company has sufficient funds available to meet its current obligations. The cash requirements in the next year will be significant as the Company plans to complete a feasibility study. At the end of this fiscal year the Company has spent approximately $40 million toward this study. The Company will require additional capital to complete this study and to provide for the administration of its Calgary and Vancouver offices. The Company believes that it will raise this capital through the public markets and through the continued exercise of its outstanding options and share purchase warrants.
