Barrick Gold, Pursuit and Dayak Enter Into Joint Venture
in Peninsula Area of Kalimantan

TORONTO, ONTARIO--International Pursuit Corporation ("Pursuit") and Dayak
Goldfields Corporation ("Dayak") are pleased to announce that they have
jointly entered into a 50/50 joint venture with Barrick Gold Corporation
("Barrick") to explore and develop Pursuit and Dayak's Peninsula Properties
in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Pursuit holds mineral rights to 747,900 hectares
and Dayak holds mineral rights to 101,100 hectares, approximately 150 km
north of Samarinda in East Kalimantan.

Under the terms of the joint venture agreement Barrick can earn a 50 percent
interest in the properties by expending C$6,500,000 over the next two years
and will be the manager of the programme.

The Peninsula Properties are located 65 miles east of the Busang gold
discovery of Bre-x Minerals. Preliminary work by Pursuit and Barrick
indicates a major structure running east through Busang and the Peninsula
area. The Peninsula area has the potential to host both epithermal and
Carlin type gold deposits.

Pursuit is the largest mineral rights holder in Kalimantan with direct and
indirect holdings of 5 million hectares. Pursuit holds 3.2 million hectares
directly with an additional 1.8 million hectares held indirectly through
Dayak. Pursuit and Dayak have begun preliminary exploration surveys on
their other Kalimantan properties.

Pursuit is a Canadian public company whose shares are listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange under the symbol "IPJ".
