For comparative results versus 1997 assays see table at the bottom of this
release.

The property is located in the northern portion of the Ecstall VMS Belt, situated south of the Skeena River between Terrace and Prince Rupert, BC. Numerous exploration programs have been conducted on the property over the past three decades. The most recent diamond drilling program conducted on the property by a previous company was during the period September to November, 1997 when 938 metres were drilled in 10 holes. Nine of the holes intersected significant poly-metallic base and precious metal mineralization.

Selected intervals of the drill core from six of the 1997 holes were re-sampled for Geo during the field season of 2005. The objective of the re-sampling program was to verify the 1997 data so that a NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation could be conducted based on the results of previous drilling.

Arnex Resources Ltd. ("Arnex") conducted the core re-sampling program during the 2005 field season. Selected mineralized core intervals from six of the 1997 drill holes were sampled by Arne Birkeland, P.Eng. acting as Qualified Person for Geo for the Scotia Property. The samples were flown by helicopter to Prince Rupert, then trucked by Arnex to Vancouver and were hand delivered to Acme Labs Ltd. Geochemical analysis of the samples utilizing a multi-element ICP-ES technique was completed by Acme. Many samples returned over-limit values of greater than 10,000 ppm for zinc and lead. During April of 2008, pulps from the over-limit samples were assayed by Acme utilizing Aqua-Regia digestion and Group 7AR ICP-ES finish.

The two tables, Scotia Assay Results Summary 2008 and Scotia Assay Results Summary 1997 compare selected weighted mineralized intercepts from the 1997 drilling to corresponding intervals for values for the pulp assays received in April, 2008.

There was general agreement between the 1997 high-grade intercepts with the 2008 data. Average variations for zinc, copper and silver for all weighted intercepts were less than 5%. Variations for lead and gold were moderately higher but still well within acceptable ranges. It is concluded that the re-sample program verified the 1997 results for the selected intervals sampled.

A NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation utilizing historical drill data is in the process of being compiled. Upon completion, it is planned that an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report will be prepared incorporating the results of the verification re-sampling program and associated Quality Control measures as well as the reporting of the results of the resource calculation.
