Drilling To Start At Busang North

- Drilling To Start At Busang North

Chuck Forrest, Vice President, Corporate Development of Indomin Resources Ltd. announces officials at the
Indonesian Mines Department informed Indomin management in Jakarta that President Suharto has approved the
Company's four Sixth Generation Contracts of Work (CoW). Arrangements for the official ceremony marking this
approval are to be announced this Wednesday.

Mr Kenneth McKechnie, Chairman and CEO of Indomin welcomed the announcement, saying that it justifies
Indomin's long held confidence in the CoW system.

"Throughout the Bre-X saga we have maintained our position that the integrity of the CoW system has not been in
question and that the Government of Indonesia would honour its commitments to those companies with initialled
contracts. It has just been a question of time and patience. It is our view that the Indonesian Mines Department was
faced with a very difficult situation not of its own making and that given the complexity of the issues involved it is not
surprising that it has taken some time for them to be resolved. It is important to remember that the Bre-X question
was the first significant problem for the Government arising from a CoW in the thirty year history of foreign
investment in the Indonesian mining industry.

Indomin has been scrupulous in abiding by the terms of the SIPP (preliminary prospecting permit) which was granted
over our Busang North CoW pending signature. We have used the delay in signature of the CoW to refine existing
drilling targets and to develop new ones. With our contracts signed, we will now go ahead with drilling at Busang
North," said Mr McKechnie.
