("KWG") announce that they have had extensive discussions concerning the merger of the two companies, subject to completion of definitive agreements, as well as shareholder and regulatory approval. Since both companies have a similar asset base, which is reflected in their relative market valuations and thus it is logical and appropriate to merge both companies. The final share exchange ratio will be set subject to completion of the Joint Venture accounting and other adjustments. In other news the Joint Venture partners have agreed separately to a flow through financing facilitated by Dundee Securities Corporation for an aggregate amount of $3.0 million ($1.5 million to each partner) in two tranches. The first tranche for Spider consists of 5.0 million shares at $0.10 per share. The agent will receive a fee equal to 7% of the funds raised and warrants to purchase shares equal to 10% of the number of Flow Through shares sold. The terms of the second tranche will be announced when the funds are requested. These funds will be used by the joint venture to conduct further drilling and exploration on the McFaulds VMS (1) (Virtual Memory System) A multiuser, multitasking, virtual memory operating system for the VAX series from Digital. VMS applications run on any VAX from the MicroVAX to the largest unit. See OpenVMS. deposit and the MacFayden diamond project. The Boards of Directors of both companies have approved in principle the decision to merge believing that this arrangement will create greater value for their respective shareholders in light of the excellent exploration results obtained over the past 18 months on the McFaulds Lake Volcanogenic vol·ca·no·gen·ic adj. Of volcanic origin. Massive Sulphide ("VMS") deposits and the more recent drilling on the MacFadyen Diamond Project. For example the last drill hole in the winter drilling program (hole number McF-04-41 - previously announced) intersected 8.0 meters of massive sulphide that averaged 6.5% Cu, 3.45% Zn, 0.42 g/t Au and 15.5 g/t Ag.

This intersection is located down-plunge and along strike from previously announced holes McF-04-21 that averaged 5.5% Cu over 13.8 meters, and McF-04-22 and 4.06 % Cu over 15 meters. Finally, last week drilling resumed on both the McFaulds Lake VMS Project and the MacFadyen Diamond Project. At present there are two complete drill crews, two helicopters and two project geologists on site, at the McFaulds Lake base camp. The main focus of the summer program will be on the McFaulds #3 which ore body remains open along strike and down plunge. The objective will be to add better definition to the zone in order to calculate grade and tonnage of a resource or a reserve. Within the JV property other drill holes completed this past winter, detected a number of economically significant mineralized zones that require follow up confirming that the McFaulds VMS geological environment has additional potential. Drilling of magnetic anomalies Magnetic Anomaly may refer to:
kimberlite or blue ground Dark, heavy, often fragmented igneous rock that may contain diamonds in the rock matrix. pipes last winter identified three new kimberlites that are diamond bearing and warrant further drill testing. Drilling on a deep-seated magnetic target was interrupted by spring break-up. The JV partners left the drill site with drill rods in the last hole, 120 meters from the target. This target's magnetic profile of a dike-like structure runs the full length of the Joint Venture property and is within 1.5 kilometers of De Beers' Tango tango Spirited dance; also a South American ballroom dance. It evolved in the dance halls and, perhaps, the brothels of poorer districts of Buenos Aires, Arg., possibly influenced by the Cuban habanera. It was made popular in the U.S. and Tango Extension kimberlites all of which are within 8 kilometers of DeBeers Victory Mine project.
