, B.C. Results from the first four holes in this program were reported in news releases dated February 3 and February 24, 2006.

Results from two more drill holes in the Lower Deposit have been received. Hole 169 returned 0.47% MoS2 over 39.6 metres and Hole 170 returned 0.24% MoS2 over 36.6 metres. To view a diagram of the current drill program, please visit the following link: http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/ble0228.jpg

 hole drilled on the Lower Deposit to date for which assays have been received. Within Hole 169's 39.6-metre intersection is a higher grade interval of 27.4 metres grading 0.55% MoS2.

As previously reported, the Lower Deposit appears to be shallow dipping and the drill intercepts appear to be representative of approximate true thickness.

A total of ten holes have been drilled on the Lower Deposit in this program and results have been reported for six of them. Results are pending for holes 171, 173 and 174. Hole 175 is in progress. Hole 172, approximately 70 metres east of Hole 167 and the most easterly hole drilled to date on the Lower Deposit, did not intersect mineralization Mineralization

The current drill program is designed to test molybdenum molybdenum (məlĭb`dənəm) [Gr.,=leadlike], metallic chemical element; symbol Mo; at. no. 42; at. wt. 95.94; m.p. about 2,617°C;; b.p. about 4,612°C;; sp. gr. 10.22 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, +4, +5, or +6.  mineralization located approximately 300 metres below the Main Deposit. This Lower Deposit was discovered by Climax Molybdenum in 1972 with two drill holes, numbers 142 and 143, which returned 0.46% MoS2 over 49 metres and 0.37% MoS2 over 36.5 metres, respectively.

Results from the Lower Deposit are not included in the previously reported mineral resource for the Main Deposit of the Davidson Project. Based on a technical report compliant with National Instrument 43-101 and filed on SEDAR SEDAR System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval

The top of the Lower Deposit is located approximately 250 metres (the Company's news release of Feb. 24, 2006, incorrectly stated 350 metres) below the level of the existing underground workings, and the bottom of the Lower Deposit is about 75 metres above the elevation of a proposed new portal.

Sampling, Assaying and Quality Control

Samples are taken as half of the split core. ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C., Canada, is being used for sample preparation and assaying.
