About St. Elias Mines Ltd.

The principal business of St. Elias Mines Ltd. is the acquisition, exploration, development and sale of high potential mineral properties in the most prolific regions of the world. At present, St. Elias is focusing its exploration efforts on the Tesoro Gold Project located in southwesterrn Peru.

The Tesoro Gold Project is 100% owned by the Company with no underlying royalties. The Property covers approximately 2,000 hectares (5,000 acres) and is part of the well-known gold-bearing Nazca-Ocoña belt that is located in southern Peru. The Nazca-Ocoña gold belt has a long mining history dating back to pre-Incan time. Gold is associated with disseminated to semi-massive sulphides in quartz veins cutting a diorite intrusion. The continuity of the quartz veins and fractures is very impressive in the Nazca-Ocoña belt. While the veins tend to be narrow, the grade is significant and the mineralized structures tend to extend along strike for kilometers and to depths of up to 1,000 meters. The Tesoro Property has never been evaluated to depth, or to its full strike potential. This leaves a large potential for the discovery of additional mineralization.

In addition to the Tesoro Gold Project, St. Elias owns interests in two gold properties located in Peru (Cueva Blanca and Vilcoro) and four properties located in British Columbia (Beaverdell, Strawberry Flats, South Rim, and Kettle River.)
