Hello KC: The consolidation between 2 public and 2 private companies is not yet finalized but it sure looks like they are close. Besides the switch to CDNX under the symbol YRP next monday (Oct 2), PALL also announced a joint venture agreement with Pelangio-Larder / Franco-Nevada this afternoon. The details of this agreement were posted on the PALL thread by Just G. With the recent increase in activity as well as the type of things that are being announced, I would be watching both PALL and Larder over the next few weeks. Midas

Hello KC: Here is yet another press release. Midas International Larder Minerals Inc - Prospectors merger partner enters option agreement International Larder Minerals Inc LRDR Shares issued 44,769,406 Jun 23 1999 close $.020 Sep 29 2000 5:14:30 Mr. Jean-Claude Bonhomme reports Prospectors Alliance's merger partner Explorers Alliance has entered into an exploration option agreement with Pelangio Mines and Franco-Nevada Mining on certain mineral claims within the southern portion of the Pelangio/Franco-Nevada Detour Lake area landholdings (DLJV). Under the terms of the recent agreement Explorers has the option to earn an interest in two claim blocks designated as Block C and Block E. The claims cover approximately 3,552 hectares (14 square miles). Explorers can earn a 50-per-cent interest in the claim blocks by expending $500,000 over a four-year period. Once vested at 50 per cent Explorers can earn an additional 30-per-cent interest in the two blocks by expending a further $500,000 over three years. Pelangio and Franco-Nevada would each retain a 10-per-cent participating interest. Franco-Nevada reserves the right to convert its 10-per-cent interest to a 4-per-cent net smelter royalty on gold production and 1.5-per-cent net smelter royalty on all other minerals. Should Franco-Nevada elect to convert to a royalty interest Pelangio would retain a 20-per-cent participating interest. Recent compilation work has shown that Block C and Block E have excellent potential to host volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits and/or copper-zinc gold deposits. Previous exploration documented numerous significant occurrences of copper/zinc mineralization in drill core, within altered felsic volcanics. Explorers intends to focus its exploration work on the base metal potential. A program of relogging, assaying and lithogeochemical sampling of known mineralization in drill core is currently under way. PALL and Explorers are highly encouraged by the indicated potential of the Detour Lake area and plan to aggressively evaluate that potential. PALL and Explorers are in the process of finalizing financing negotiations with respect to their amalgamation, previously reported in Stockwatch on May 29, with International Larder Minerals and two other private companies, 1338756 Ontario and 1232448 Ontario.

KC Jones: PALL just announced that they have made a PGE discovery near Timmins. Midas PROSPECTORS ALLIANCE ("YRP-V") - New PGM Discovery in Loveland Township Explorers Alliance Corporation (currently trading under its previous name of Prospectors Alliance Corporation, YRP-CDNX Toronto 20,466,121 outstanding shares) wishes to report that they have commenced an exploration program on a sulfide-mineralized gabbroic intrusion on their Loveland Township property held through Explorers' Joint Venture with Falconbridge Limited (Fl-TSE). Under the terms of the Joint Venture Explorers can earn up to a 50% interest by meeting future expenditure commitments. During October, Explorer's completed a compilation of previous exploration work in the area of their Loveland Township property. The compilation revealed that previous drilling had encountered copper, nickel values over a strike length of 700 meters and had also located a moderate to strong TEM anomaly in the area of the previous drilling on the property. To the north and east of the property the 1988 OGS airborne survey had located a number of airborne anomalies. Based on this compilation Explorers acquired an additional 97 claim units. Twenty-seven (27) units were optioned from Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc., a further twenty-eight (28) units were optioned from prospector Robert Rousseau and forty-two (42) units were acquired by staking. To date two holes totaling 447 meters have been completed. The first drill hole EL25-04 intersected 13.5 meters (drilled width) of heavily disseminated sulfides mainly pyrrhotite with chalcopyrite, which contain significant assay values for copper, nickel and the platinum group elements (PGE). The 13.5 meter thick mineralized zone contains a 5.2 meter interval grading 4425 ppm Cu, 3807 ppm Ni, 896 ppb Pd, 152 ppb Pt, 24 ppb Rh, and 92 ppb Au, including 1.0 m grading 6380 ppm Cu, 7420 ppm Ni, and 1443 ppb Pd. The 5.2 m interval also contains 186 ppm Co. A complete assay table for the mineralized zone is given below (1000 ppb=1g/t). Sampling of the drill core was completed at the company's facilities in Timmins, Ontario. Assays were performed by Swastika Laboratories in Swastika, Ontario, using a fusion and cupellation process for platinum, palladium and gold. This process is a fire assay on a 30 gram sample with the resulting bead being dissolved using nitric and hydrochloric acids with determination by atomic absorption. The copper, cobalt and nickel analyses were performed by geochemical atomic absorption methods. The mineralized zones encountered in the previous drilling were not assayed for PGM's, apart from one hole completed by WMC International, which intersected 0.5 m grading 0.44% Cu, 1.10% Ni, 0.057% Co and 420 ppb Pd. Explorers' anticipates that these zones will contain PGM values similar to those located by hole EL25-04. As a result of the acquisitions, the Company now holds the bulk of the mineralized gabbroic complex as well as several untested ground and airborne geophysical anomalies. A downhole survey has been completed on two holes which results have located a strong twenty channel off-hole anomaly that has now been targeted by drill hole EL 25-06. Drill hole EL25-05 encountered a 24.5 meter interval similar to the mineralized intercept in hole EL25-04. Samples have been sent to the lab and assays are pending. Explorers' is very encouraged by these new results and will expand their program in order to explore the remainder of the gabbroic complex, which has been interpreted to occupy an area about 2 kilometers in width and 4 kilometers in length. The following table gives detailed assay results for hole EL25-04: Assays DDH - EL25-04 From To WIDTH Cu Ni Co Pt Pd Au H ppm pm ppm ppb ppb ppb meters 79.50 80.70 1.20 786 613 45 57 317 38 80.70 82.20 1.50 44 416 33 38 161 5 82.20 83.70 1.50 63 432 26 34 130 7 83.70 84.70 1.00 595 1150 56 69 477 27 84.70 85.70 1.00 6380 7420 271 201 1443 105 85.70 87.10 1.40 2070 1620 122 65 346 24 87.10 88.50 1.40 4930 3660 184 182 886 117 88.50 89.90 1.40 4880 3560 191 175 1066 127 89.90 91.50 1.60 619 1270 52 75 497 34 91.50 93.00 1.50 3040 2560 124 53 434 51 93.00 94.20 1.20 573 605 49 5 79 26 94.20 95.30 1.10 2980 2330 125 34 319 48 95.30 96.20 0.90 106 312 42 5 5 NIL 96.20 97.80 1.60 302 318 44 7 15 5 Averaged Intervals From To Width Cu Ni Co Pt Pd Au meters ppm ppm ppb ppb ppb ppb 83.70 93.00 9.3 3135 2884 139 114 708 69 84.70 89.90 5.20 4425 3807 186 152 896 92 Explorers re-iterated its announcement of October 12, 2000 to the effect that, until the formalities related to its continuance of the listing on CDNX as Explorers Alliance Corporation, Explorers' shares will continue to trade on a pre-consolidated basis under the Prospectors Alliance name.

Hello KC Jones: It looks like the company has made some news on the Ni-Cu-PGE play (they made a press release several days ago), as well as raised some money and are in the process of making more news. Midas Explorers To Launch Exploration On High Potential Bescheffer Property Toronto, Ontario - Tuesday, January 9, 2001, 4:00 PM EST Explorers Alliance Corporation (currently trading under its previous name of Prospectors Alliance Corporation, YRP-CDNX Toronto 20,466,121 outstanding shares) plans to conduct a diamond drill program on its 100% owned property in Bescheffer Township Quebec. The initial program of four (4) holes for a minimum of 1000 meters will focus on two sections of the property. The Bescheffer property, located approximately 7 kilometers southeast of Selbaie Mine, is underlain by a hydrothermally altered sequence of felsic volcanics compositionally similar to those hosting the Selbaie deposits. Geophysical surveys, previously completed, have found several induced polarization anomalies within the altered felsic rocks. Soquem Inc. reported in 2000 that they had located two mineralized zones within 800 and 200 meters west of the property boundary. These zones have been estimated by Soquem Inc. in March and May, 2000 respectively to contain 600,000 tons grading 2.80% Cu, 2.80 g/t Au and 750,000 tons grading 2.00% Cu and 0.35 g/t Au. A drill hole collared 25 meters west of the property boundary intersected considerable mineralization with reported assay values of 1.03% Zn, 1.82 g/t Ag over 7.4 meters and 2.41 % Cu, 9.59 g/t Ag over 3.3 meters. There are also several other intercepts over a wide (>100m) thickness of altered felsic volcanics. A PEM survey completed on this hole indicated a wide zone of mineralization to the east. This wide zone would be located on Explorers property where induced polarization anomalies confirm the pulse survey results. Explorers plans to complete two holes in this area. Approximately 7 kilometers to the northeast Soquem Inc. has also reported a gold zone near the north boundary of Explorers property. This zone of unknown size contains intercepts of 6.14 g/t Au over 2.3 meters; 4.37 g/t over 12 meters and 6.38 g/t over 8.0 meters as well as several shorter intercepts including 29.7 g/t over 0.5 meters. The zone is south dipping into the Explorers property where induced polarization anomalies are located. Explorers plans to complete two holes in this area. Explorers is very encouraged by the Soquem results and intends to aggressively explore this high priority target. -30- For further information, please contact: Jean-Claude Bonhomme, President and CEO or Garry R.

Hello KC Jones: Here are the Loveland Township Cu-Ni-PGE results Midas Prospectors Alliance Corporation - Prospectors provides Loveland results Prospectors Alliance Corporation YRP Shares issued 20,466,121 Dec 28 2000 close $.090 Jan 4 2001 10:52:41 Mr. Jean-Claude Bonhomme reports Explorers Alliance (currently trading under its previous name of Prospectors Alliance) has completed three additional holes on its Loveland township property, northeast of Timmins, Ont., held through Explorers' option and joint venture agreement with Falconbridge Ltd. Under the terms of this agreement, Explorers can earn up to a 50-per-cent interest by meeting future expenditure commitments. These holes, EL25-08, EL25-09 and EL25-10, bring the total number of drill holes to seven. Based on these seven holes and drilling completed by previous operators, Explorers has also calculated a tonnage and grade, based on exploration information, of approximately 1.1 million tons grading 0.28 per cent Cu, 0.54 per cent Ni and 0.3 grams per tonne (g/t) platinum group metals (PGE). The three holes completed in December intersected pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite mineralization in disseminated zones within the previously reported gabbroic complex. Drilling has shown the mineralized zones ranging from 2 per cent to 3 per cent sulphides to massive sulphides contain significant copper, nickel and appreciable PGM, including platinum, palladium, and rhodium, with concentrations of cobalt. The following table summarizes the significant assays in holes El25-08, El25-09, and El25-10. Drill hole El25-09 was drilled 260 metres north of previously reported drilling in El25-05 with the intercept approximately 350 metres north.

Explorers' continuing compilation of historical data related to this project has revealed that there are several mineralized floats located to the southeast of the present drill area. These floats have returned assays of 3 per cent to 4 per cent Ni and range in size from 0.9 of a metre to 2.4 metres in diameter. The source of the floats is not known at the present time. Based on the seven holes completed by Explorers and approximately 25 holes completed by previous operators, an attempt was made to estimate tonnage and grade to date. The calculation, based on exploration information, was completed using drilled widths, grade/thickness parameters and several informed assumptions. One such assumption is that the PGE from previous work (no reported assays) would be similar to the grades from the recent drilling relative to the copper/nickel assays. The mineralization occurs in two semi-distinct zones which are separated by a few to possible tens of metres of weakly mineralized gabbro and the tonnages shown below are reported separately for each zone. These zones are referred to as the Disseminated zone and the Contact zone. Although the Disseminated zone has been intersected to vertical depths exceeding 220 metres, a vertical depth of 150 metres was used for calculating tonnages. This zone extends for 250 metres along strike and has variable widths of one to nine metres. A total of 518,000 tons grading 0.42 per cent Cu, 0.41 per cent Ni and 0.4 g/t PGE have been estimated for this zone. A gross metal value of $51.00 (U.S.) per ton has been calculated for this zone. The Contact zone intersected by several more drill holes than the Disseminated zone extends over 600 metres in strike length, to a vertical depth of 200 metres. The Contact zone ranges from 0.45 of a metre to 4.5 metres averaging approximately two meters in width. A total of 574,000 tons grading 0.15 per cent Cu, 0.65 per cent Ni and 0.3 g/t PGE have been estimated. A gross metal value of $60.00 (U.S.) per ton has been calculated for this zone. Previous and present drilling have investigated only about 650 metres of the mineralized gabbro and contact zone. The area presently under investigation is associated with a TEM conductor located by Quantec Inc. Previous geophysical surveys and the remainder of the Quantec survey have located several untested anomalies along the projected contact between the gabbro and its host rocks. These anomalies represent high priority drilling targets and a TEM conductor on the north boundary of the gabbro on a group of claims optioned from Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. is scheduled to be drill tested in January, 2001. Further drilling in the immediate vicinity of the two mineralized zones could at least double the present size estimates. Given that the Enid Creek property as a whole is largely undrilled, it represents a high priority exploration area, and has the potential to contain a Cu-Ni-PGE resource of several million tons.
