mineralization –confirmed extent of Moss Lake deposit on Foundation

property - generated additional drill targets

Burchell West: investigated historic gold occurrences

Broadhurst Peninsula: Mapping and rock sampling in an area with grab

samples up to 2.06 g/t Au from Alto Ventures 2008 work

Skimpole Lake: Confirmed historic gold anomalies

East Coldstream: Confirmed widespread mineralization at the deposit

Goldie Zone: Confirmed historic gold occurrences - 2.06 to 5.48 g/t Au

Iris Zone: IP conductivity anomalies coincident with anomalous gold

results from 2007 drilling-confirmed gold in outcrops

Adjacent to Moss Lake gold deposit (51 million tonnes –1.5 million ounces gold, NI43-101 compliant inferred resource)

Drill results include: 3.01 g/t Au over 7.45 m 3.67 g/t Au over 4.63m

Nine zones of anomalous gold identified

5.1 million tonnes at 1.4 g/t (234,000 ounces gold) calculated by Noranda in 1990 for the North, Main and East zones (Historical resource not compliant with NI 43-101 standards)

Au mineralization starts on surface - historic resource estimate was based on relatively shallow drilling

The historical resource does not include the Sanders Zone, where 2006 drill results include 1.1 g/t Au over 23m

Mineralization plunges easterly - all zones open at depth

Winter 2010 drilling has demonstrated greater widths at depth in the deposit, potentially providing significant addition to the historic resource
