    Exploration update
    ------------------
    

The Company is currently flying a DigHEM electro-magnetic survey to further delineate possible diamond and gold targets in the vicinity of the Y Lake Trend. The survey is expected to identify high potential geologic structures to a higher degree of resolution than the previous airborne survey. Surveying should be completed by the beginning of May with a preliminary interpretation available in due course, typically 8 to 10 weeks after completion of the survey. Pending the results of this airborne survey, additional ground reconnaissance work, rock-chip sampling of targeted areas and closely spaced follow-up till sampling would be the next step. Additional diamond drilling will also take place if warranted.

The annual audited financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and additional information are available on the Company's website and on SEDAR.
