1 Exploring for Gold and Silver in the US Jan. 2005

2 Strategy Focus on the western United States, mostly Nevada and California Concentrate on projects with high grade and size potential Become a gold producer in 2005 Maximize money in the ground Seven Projects with Focus on Three: French Gulch mine, California North Fork mine, California Wenban Spring, Nevada 2

4 Past Producer: French Gulch Mine 25 km west of Redding, Shasta County, California Recent producer ( ) lacking systematic modern exploration 100% BLRV after staged $1.5M buyout Multiple high-grade (+1 opt Au) mesothermal quartz veins Large district with recent discoveries Fully-permitted for production Upgradable mill on site Strong local support Inferred Resource: 125, opt Au Potential: +2 Moz oz, vastly underexplored multiple vein systems 4

5 Past Producer: French Gulch Mine Action Plan Detailed underground drilling across major veins Near-term reserve Broad surface drilling underway Step-out exploration Metallurgical Testing Mill Expansion Engineering Environmental Reviews and Engineering Budget: $1,500,
