The January drill program of Kennecott Canada, the operator of the company's Hinton area properties, did not encounter kimberlite. In January, however Ashton Mining Canada announced that it had hit kimberlite in the Buffalo Hills area within the Buffalo Head craton. Immediately, the company staked approximately 4,000,000 acres of mineral exploration permits surrounding the Ashton find. The Ashton kimberlite find has expanded significantly with the announcement of 17 kimberlite pipes, 14 of which are diamondiferous. Ashton has also announced the presence of many more high priority kimberlite targets. _With excellent results being obtained from Ashton, the company and Redwood Resources agreed to acquire 2,000,000 common shares by way of private placement and to acquire an option on the company's Buffalo Hills properties.

To date, Redwood has paid $2,500,000 to Montello pursuant to the private placement and option.
