VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--CORRECTION FROM SOURCE:

In the news release transmitted earlier today (April 14, 1998) for
COLUMBIA YUKON RESOURCES LTD., a phrase was left out of the first
paragraph.

The complete and corrected version follows:

Columbia Yukon Resources Ltd. (the "Company") wishes to report
they and Consolidated Venturex Holdings Ltd. ("CVA") have entered
into an agreement to purchase, each as to a 50 percent interest,
certain metallic and industrial mineral permits, representing
43,648 hectares (107,852 acres), submitted to Alberta Energy from
Raynard William Howarth ("Howarth") for a total consideration of
$67,000.

Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase price consists of a
one time cash payment of $10,000 payable by the Company and an
aggregate of 100,000 common shares of the Company and 100,000
common shares of CVA. Under the agreement, Howarth will retain a
2.5 percent net diamond royalty, and the Company and CVA have the
right to purchase 1 percent of the diamond royalty for $1,000,000.
