 Dear Shareholders and Friends;
 
 With the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders just concluded on Friday, September 16, 2011, it's time for an update.
 
 Since my appointment as President in December 2010, we have  been focused on building the foundation necessary to achieve  significant, sustainable shareholder value. The Board of Directors is  unified in purpose and intent while each of us on the team believes  strongly in the great financial potential of the Independence Project  that all of us in the Company own.
 
 I believe that the foundation is now in place. We have  completed a business plan which we expect to be sharing with you in the  near future. We have identified a number of funding sources so that we  may complete the work of pouring gold from the Independence  mineralization. You will be hearing more about this as we develop the  final program.

You will be hearing more about this as we develop the  final program.
 
 We recognize that it takes a significant amount of money to  bring this Project to production and are looking into a number of  approaches which will result in minimal dilution to our current  shareholders. If any of you would like to participate in the current  funding package to minimize your personal dilution at this time give me a  call.
 
 Our fundamentals are excellent for building a profitable  mining company and we intend to do just that. We know that the market  will soon recognize the potential of the resource calculation (compliant  with Canadian National Instrument 43-101), that was included in the  updated independent, technical report we announced in a press release  dated September 8, 2011. It is our sole focus to drive the Project to  production and return to our shareholders the value that they deserve.
 
 We are excited about constructing a producing gold mine and  we will do it right. Our first priority will be gold production. But  with the opportunity to expand our resources -- the deposit being open  to the east, north and at depth -- the possibility to double the current  numbers is good. Once production has commenced, we will proceed to  increase the resource through additional drilling.
 
 To that end, we have initiated the work necessary to bring  the current resources into proven and probable reserves category as  defined in CNI 43-101 and intend to complete a pre-feasibility study  within the coming months. We intend to proceed to bringing the reserves  to SEC Industry Guide 7 definitions as soon as permitting becomes  imminent as required under the SEC rules.
 
 Best regards,
 
 Daniel J. Forbush, CPA
 President, CEO, and CFO
