McGlasson January 15, 2001 Platinum Group Metals (PGM's): Focus of the Company. Most of Conquistador Mines Ltd's work has focused on PGM's in properties that it holds in the United States and in Colombia. Our research on PGM-bearing systems has focused on all ages of rocks ranging from Tertiary (> 2 million years) to Archean (> 2.5 billion years). We have been concentrating on intrusives (layered igneous complexes and dikes) in cratonic settings. Some of these settings have been severely dismembered as in Colombia. There we control large areas with both placer as well as lode potential. The company's largest property position is in Colombia where it controls large licenses within which occur PGM bearing rocks as young as Tertiary and as old as Precambrian (Archean: > 2,5 billion years). These are all grass roots projects, but with grades up to 56 g/T Pt+Pd. However, the Company's most advanced major property package is in the United States and located in southeastern Nevada. There, ultramafic, marginal cratonic intrusive rocks ranging from 1.8-3.0 billion years have been the host of primary platinum and palladium. These metals have been produced from at least two lode mines within our large 213 claim block and our due diligence indicates a potential for more tonnage in shallow as well as deep targets (McGlasson, 1998; staff work, 1999). This more advanced Key West Project is the subject of this summary. Key West Project Regional Information It has been known to Conquistador Mines Ltd. Personnel, that the Key West region hosts several zones of mineralization that are found within an elongated corridor containing hundreds of pyroxenitic and gabbroic dikes and sills that trend for at least 35 miles in a roughly N60E direction. These continuous and discontinuous masses occur within a province of crystalline, cratonic, Precambrian rocks that are roughly 1.8-3.0 billion years old. These dikes and sills are shown to be coincident with a series of elongate magnetic highs over a minimum distance of 25 miles and a series of Pt-Pd and Ni-Cu prospects over a minimum distance of 20 miles (USGS unpublished information). The corridor within which the dikes and sills occur is approximately 60 miles long extending from about 12 miles southwest of the Key West mine area to about 50 miles to the northeast. Only a small portion of strike length has been investigated. At the Key West Properties, we have under control a segment of these 60 miles but the 213 claims overlay the core areas of mineralization, which cover a minimum strike length of over 6.5 miles. Seven of the claims are patented claims and the rest are unpatented. Within this strike length is the major percentage of the PGM bearing ultramafic rocks mapped by Beal (1965). However, in the future, as exploration justifies, these claim blocks must be expanded to cover other areas known to carry exploratory significant values of PGE's in ultramafic dikes and fracture zones within the 1.8-3.0 billion year-old cratonic terrane. This terrane is one of the most significant in the U.S. outside of the older Archean terrane (> 3.0 billion years) that hosts the Stillwater Complex in Montana. This younger terrane however, is similar in age to the following known worldwide occurrences of PGM bearing rocks and similar in structural setting and rock compositions to others listed.

THIS IS SIGNIFICANT...and...FWR and or RSM has stated at Sept 9 2000, NEVADA GOLD SAHOW at the RIO, there is 1 GRAM PER TON RH all over the surface there, so, has anyone checked out RSM at royal-standard.com No Grins Til we make money, GGG anyways. Or cut a deal with one of the best new area plays that I can envision. NEVADA PT ! Gots to call out to St Helena some day soon I suppose, but what the heck, it is better to be called than to call, GGG. I moved a hour away in my East Coast Location, maybe they can't find me and out PT 109 Claim L.P., just send offers to PO Box 86 West Hyannisport, MA 02672 VBG. Life to me, it does appear; is really a beach. I see the SUN RISER not set now, really. I walk the beach in 2 hours. Key West Beach one day soon. Today --- Nantucket Sound.
