The first stage of this new field work is an airborne geophysical survey. The Company has contracted Precision GeoSurveys Inc of Langley BC to perform 880-line kilometers of survey to acquire electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic response data for the project.

The Company's extensive airborne survey has been designed to cover continuation of the established structural corridor that hosts the known mineralization. Anomalous results from this survey will be the subject further extensive follow up exploration on a timely basis.

Previous ground EM and magnetic surveys conducted by Slave Lake Zinc extended the originally explored mineralization to a length of 1100 meters including the 1952 Shaft zone. This survey work has demonstrated the effectiveness of the EM and magnetic survey methods as exploration tools for the project.

Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share at a price of $0.18 per share for two years from closing.

The proceeds will be added to working capital. The Company is incurring finder's fees totalling $6,000.00 in connection with a portion of the private placement as allowed by regulatory authorities.
