Mr Richard McCloskey reports

Glimmer notes with surprise the press release of Exall Resources
January 28 1998 (Stockwatch January 29) as to the outcome of a further
Ontario Court (General Division) hearing on January 26 and January 27,
1998 concerning its joint venture agreement.

Exall has been charging a flat 15% of total costs as a "management
fee" to the joint venture and has treated a portion of that fee as
part of its cash contribution used to calculate its ownership
interest. At issue in court was the propriety of this fee. The
Honourable Mr Justice Rosenberg rejected Exall's argument that the fee
was proper and stated that Exall was entitled to its demonstrated
costs of supervision only, to a maximum of 15%. Glimmer anticipates
that the demonstrated costs will be substantially less than the credit
Exall has already taken.

Mr Justice Rosenberg also directed that a further court proceeding - a
"reference" - consider which of the approximately $337,000 of costs
("certain engineering costs") paid by Exall and charged to the joint
venture as opposed to properly for the account of Exall alone.

Finally, Mr Justice Rosenberg addressed the issue as to whether the
ownership interest of a joint venturer which has been diminished by
virtue of its failure to make monthly cash contributions can be
restored by way of subsequent contribution in excess of a cash call.
Mr Justice Rosenberg rejected Exall's argument that such restoration
(claw back) of an interest was possible. The reference will ascertain
the parties' respective ownership interest on the basis of the
principles set out by the court on January 26 and 27 1998 and those
set out in the court's reasons given in October of 1997 ( Stockwatch
October 30 1997).

Glimmer expects this decision to have a significant positive impact on
Glimmer's interest in the Glimmer mine joint venture. Whether Exall's
interest fell below 50% and, thus, whether Glimmer is entitled to
become operator of the joint venture, will be determined on the
reference.

The Glimmer mine is in Hislop and Beatty townships near Matheson,
Ontario, began production in April 1997 and has produced in excess of
34,000 ounces of gold to November 30 1997. Operating costs were
$US220.00 per ounce in November. Glimmer is a mining and mineral
exploration company which is an interest holder in the Glimmer mine.
