A further ''Series B'' convertible Preferred Share financing in the amount of $2,500,000 U.S. funds will be undertaken concurrent with the closing of the ''Series A'' preferred share issue.
Assay and Recovery Results: Test results from the Company's 9 diamond drill holes, each to a depth of 500 feet are in process. Fire Assay and Leach Recovery tests were conducted by Auric Metallurgical Laboratories and the following test results are from core holes 98C-14 and 98C-27:

Further Analytical Testing: Testing will continue through Auric Metallurgical Laboratories in Salt Lake City, Utah. Auric Labs is a recognized laboratory which has provided services to major mining firms. Further fire assay and leach testing will continue on the nine holes drilled to date and on additional holes as they are drilled.
Auric Metallurgical Laboratories in conjunction with an independent engineering firm will conduct a complete leach recovery test on a two ton bulk sample to be collected under strict ''chain of custody'' protocols from the Company's Blackhawk prospect in Idaho. The bulk samples will be collected and will remain in tamper-proof sealed containers. The bulk rock sample will then be processed by a leaching recovery process. It is the Company's strategy to test systems that could be utilized for commercial scale recovery and will form the basis for pilot plant development and costing.
Drilling to Continue: As previously advised in the October 20, 1998 press release, the Company plans to resume drilling to complete the current program and further define the mineralized zone of the Blackhawk property. Within the scope of this plan, two of the first nine holes will be extended to 1,000 feet; six additional diamond drill holes to 500 feet will be undertaken, and 21 reverse circulation in-fill holes will follow.
Through the Company's subsidiary, ''International Gold Corporation'' the Intergold Corporation is exploring a large mineralized prospect in the State of Idaho - the Blackhawk I Gold Project, which is comprised of 321 contiguous unpatented lode mining claims in Lincoln County, Idaho.
