Ace Project Ace Project – Significant Mineralization • Boulder field: 8 km by 2 km • mineralized quartz-rich sulphide and massive sulphide boulders • Coincident bedrock mineralization • Pronounced soil and geophysical anomolies
Ace Project Ace Project – Boulder Field BoulderField 0 km 2 Cluster of quartz-rich sulphide boulders 53 samples averaged 3.1 g/t gold Cluster of massive to semi-massive boulders Up to 13% combined zinc & lead
Ace Project Ace Project – Boulder Field • Many large angular boulders indicate proximity to source • Quartz-rich sulphide vein boulders • 53 samples average 3.1 g/t gold • Bismuth to 2,500 ppm, Tellurium to 90 ppm • Massive sulphide boulders • up to 13% combined zinc & lead • up to 3 oz/t silver, 0.25% copper

Ace Project Compelling Evidence • Mineralized boulder field • Coincident bedrock mineralization • Well-defined zinc-lead soil anomaly • Strong IP/Chargeability anomaly
Ace Project BC Geological Survey Takes Notice “…massive sulphide mineralization and gold-bearing quartz-rich rocks have similarities to the deep- seated, massive sulphide deposits in the Besshi district of Japan”Hoy and Ferri, 1997
Ace Project Strathcona Reports on Barker “The most likely targets on the property are the Besshi-type sediment-hosted massive sulphides similar to the Goldstream deposit…” Strathcona, Feb. 1998
1998 Plans Ace Project – 1998 Exploration Program • Data compilation, geological mapping, geochem & trenching • Detailed IP within target area • 5 to 10 initial diamond drill holes
1998 Plans Cariboo Upper Grain Frank Creek Sellers Prospect Area Tasse Black Bear Additional Prospects Ace Project Property Boundry
1998 Plans Cariboo Cariboo Prospect • Zinc/lead replacement within carbonate host • Resource est: 400,000 tonnes at 4% (zinc and lead) • Mineralized horizons up to 8 meters thick
1998 Plans Frank Creek Prospect • Bedrock up to 4.5% zinc (grab samples) • Extensive alteration-within areas of Zinc mineralization • Numerous airborne E.M. conductors Frank Creek
1998 Plans Respect for the Environment • Company sensitive to preserving the environment
1998 Priorities 1 Continue exploration on Ace and prospects 2 Develop marketing program 3 VSE Listing, IPO 4 Commence drilling on Ace project
Committed to success Excellent potential for gold-bearing massive sulphide deposit(s) on Ace project Significant targets ready for drilling Loyal Shareholders Why We Will Succeed P P P P
