AFTON DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM
===========================================================================
The 2000 Diamond Drill Program on the Afton Mine Property, 10 KM west of
Kamloops, B.C. is successfully outlining Copper-Gold-Silver-Palladium
within the main mineralized zone. Two NQ diamond drill holes have been
drilled todate. DDH 2K-1 at -72 /315 intersected the mineralized zone for
237 ft at a downhole depth from 438-675 ft. in a brecciated fine grained
rock, where it was suspended due to ground caving conditions in high grade
Copper-Gold mineralization. DDH 2K-2 at -74 /329 completed at a depth of
1455 ft. intersected the mineralized zone for 769 ft. from 486-1255 ft.

John Ball, exploration manager and geological consultant, is supervising a
quality assurance program for the Afton Diamond Drill Project. The company
consultant J.J. McDougall & Associates, P.Eng., is overseeing and advising
on the Afton Diamond Drilling & Geological Fieldwork. All mineralized
drill core intervals were logged, split in half, sampled at 10 foot
intervals and shipped directly to Eco-Tech Laboratories Ltd. for Copper,
Gold, Silver, and Palladium analysis. A check assay program has been
implemented where selected core intervals are sent to Cominco Assay
Laboratories and selected core samples of mineralized intervals are being
analyzed petrographically to identify sulphides and host rock composition.
Eco-Tech Laboratories are B.C. Certified Assayers who participate in the
National Canmet Proficiency Testing, and maintain their own in house
Quality Assurance and Quality Control Program. Eco-Tech Laboratories has
been in the analytical testing business for 26 year, and are familiar with
assaying the Afton Ore. Their client list include, Afton, Teck, Placer
Dome, Newmont Mining, etc.

The Company will release informtaion for the two diamond drill holes upon
receiving and compiling the assays results. The diamond drill program is
continuing with DDH 2K-3 to be drilled at -80 /329 azimuth to intersect
the mineralized zone approximately 250 ft down dip from its intersection in
DDH 2K-2.
