Celtic and Jilbey Receive Report on Gravity Data, Trout Pond Area, Labrador

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--David Graham, President, Celtic Minerals
Ltd. ("Celtic") and Dan Whittaker, President, Jilbey Exploration
Ltd. ("Jilbey") have received a report titled "Interpretation of
Aeromagnetic Data and Terrain Correction of Gravity Data"
completed by Dr. Allan Spector and Associates for Leader Mining
International Inc. ("Leader") dated May, 1998.

The data was collected over the area covered under the Joint
Venture Agreement entered into with Leader and more fully
described in a press release dated April 2, 1998. This agreement
is part of an assemblage of approximately 500 sq. km. of
strategically located properties contiguous to the south and west
boundaries of Inco Ltd.'s claim block which hosts the world class
Voisey's Bay nickel/copper/cobalt deposit (containing proven
reserves of 31.7 million tonnes @ 2.83 percent nickel, 1.68
percent copper and 0.12 percent cobalt within a geological
resource of at least 150 million tonnes).

Dr. Spector concludes that the high density zone (8 to 10 mgal in
amplitude) is 13km in diameter and extends north of Trout Pond
(covering approximately the south-eastern two-thirds of
Celtic/Jilbey's Block 2). The anomaly is interpreted to be due to
a troctolitic unit. Modelling of the gravity data indicates that
the high density zone is about 500 meters thick and 1,000 meters
below ground level. The Inco deposits are known to be associated
with troctolitic rocks. Dr. Spencer also states that the
principal result of the magnetic data analysis is that
magnetization with an intensity of 200 to 500 gamma is coincident
with the gravity anomaly and that they most probably share the
same origin.

Follow up work recommendations are being considered.

Jilbey and Celtic are mineral exploration companies with interests
in base metal prospects in Newfoundland and Labrador. Please
contact the respective companies for further corporate
information.
