Tuesday October 8 2002 News Release

Mr. Richard Rivet reports
KINGS BAY GOLD AND SOLITAIRE MINERALS DRILLING UPDATE, GARNET ...
Fourteen holes have been completed at King's Bay Gold and Solitaire Minerals' Garnet Lake property, Confederation Lake area, Red Lake, Ont.
Many of the holes have intersected varying widths of altered and heavily mineralized rock units similar to those hosting lode gold deposits at the Red Lake mines. The joint venture partners had originally planned for 12 holes to be drilled, then expanded to 14 and have now elected to expand the current drill program to 15 holes. To date, drilling has intersected the target horizon with varying widths of alteration and mineralization ranging from eight to 49 feet.
The companies are looking forward to receiving the forthcoming initial assay results, which are expected this week and will be released immediately upon receipt. Drilling continues to test this newly discovered gold-bearing horizon which is open at both ends and at depth. King's Bay and Solitaire are impressed with the complexity and diversity of mineralization thus far encountered at the newly discovered mineralized zone within the Garnet Lake property and are presently in the process of adding to their land position by staking eight units on the northern border.
The partners have subsequently called for 15 kilometres of line cutting and geophysics to commence immediately. King's Bay Gold, the operator of the project has also acquired three more diamond drill rigs, which will be used for future drilling programs.
Red Lake properties
King's Bay's portfolio of properties in the Red Lake/Birch-Uchi greenstone belt include the Headway, Pickle Crow and Garnet Lake prospects where partner Solitaire Minerals has the right to earn a 50-per-cent interest. Each of these properties exhibit excellent potential for hosting high-grade gold deposits and are located within the world-class Red Lake area. The Headway property is located about 1,200 metres from Goldcorp Inc.'s high-grade zone (HGZ). Goldcorp's Red Lake mine is claimed to host one of the richest gold orebodies in the world.
