ANEKA TAMBANG (10%) HIGHLIGHTS - Initial Big Kahuna drill results including 10.35 metres of 2.10% Ni and 0.07% Co in hole DHW 098 confirm the potential of this prospect which is well in excess of 50 million tonnes - President and CEO Louis Clinton commits full time to Weda Bay Minerals - Preliminary results of the bulk sample being tested at Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta confirm the metallurgical testwork done to date. EXPLORATION PROGRESS Big Kahuna Results have been received for the initial twelve holes from the extensive Big Kahuna prospect being drilled on a nominal 500 metre grid basis. An average thickness of 8.33 metres of laterite has been intersected grading 1.65% Ni and 0.10% Co in the nine holes drilled within the thicker laterite sequences. Because of the nominal 500 metre drill spacing two holes were drilled on the edge of the prospect and one over a basement high. Good cobalt grades occur at Big Kahuna including 4 metres of 0.41% Co in hole DHW 103. Overburden material grading less than the 1% Ni cut-off averages 2m in thickness at a grade of 0.82% Ni and 0.23% Co. These results confirm the potential of the Big Kahuna prospect which is located north and west of the Jira River prospect. Based on the size of the mapped area of laterite, the potential resource at Big Kahuna is well in excess of 50 million tonnes. MANAGEMENT With the completion of the Project Evaluation Study confirming the Weda Bay Nickel project as world class and, following his resignation as Chairman of Highland Pacific, the President and CEO of Weda Bay Minerals Inc., Mr. Louis Clinton, has agreed to commit full time to the Weda Bay Nickel project.
