Exploration Progress On Joint Venture Properties In Zacatecas State, Mexico

Aurado Exploration Ltd. (the ''Company'') is
pleased to announce that a gravity survey of the Venaditas and Gabriela
properties has now been completed by Allan Spector and Associates with
encouraging results. The primary objective was to determine the depth of
overburden on the properties and delineate areas of shallow pediment for
Induced Polarization (''IP'') surveys. Three areas were identified where IP
can be used to test for massive sulphide: the southeastern part of the
Venaditas property; the southeastern corner of the Gabriela; and the
north-central section of the Gabriela property along the eastern body. The
southeast corner of the Gabriela is located only 4 km from the San Nicolas
discovery along an important northwestern trending lineament.

IP is currently underway on the Venaditas and Piedrotas properties and
will proceed to the Gabriela on completion. Geological mapping is also
underway, focusing on outcrop areas of the Piedrotas and Venaditas properties.
These properties are underlain by the Chilitos Formation, the same formation
underlying the San Nicolas Massive Sulphide Discovery, and contain flat lying
pillowed mafic volcanics, greywacke, jusperoid and quartz porphyritic
rhyolite. The presence of rhyolite is particularly encouraging.

The Venaditas, Gabriela and Piedrotas properties are adjacent to and
immediately west of the Western Copper Holdings Limited/Teck Corporation San
Nicholas Massive Sulphide Discovery and may lie in the same mafic felsic
volcanic sequence.

The eight base metal and silver properties, encompassing 21,542 ha within
Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi States, Mexico are the subject of a joint
venture between the Company and Cia. Minera Constelacion S.A. de C.V.
(''Constelacion''), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cominco Ltd. Constelacion is
the operator of the project.
