Bob:Here is another Press Release with some excellent numbers June 15, 1998 NEWS RELEASE VSE Symbol: ITS.V LYON PROJECT DUE DILIGENCE PROGRAM CONFIRMS GOLD PRESENCE IN HIGH-GRADE COPPER MINERALIZATION VANCOUVER, B.C. (June 15, 1998) - Mr. Steven E. Parry Chairman and C.E.O. and Mr. Robert B. Blakestad, President and C.O.O. of International Taurus Resources Inc. are pleased to announce results of the recent evaluation of gold grades associated with the Lyon high-grade copper-gold-magnetite project in Nevada. As previously reported, many of the 44 drill holes within the high grade resource were never assayed for gold by former project operators. International Taurus has expanded the gold database with an additional 10 holes through a due diligence assaying program conducted earlier this month. The objective of this program was to confirm the .015 ounce per ton gold credit used in the positive economic study of the project. Work included reassaying of existing pulps where available. Existing core was quartered where no sample pulps were available. All samples were analyzed according to industry accepted fire assay procedures at Bondar Clegg Laboratories in North Vancouver B.C. Results for the prior holes and the new sampling are tabulated below by zone: ORIG. NEW HOLE # FROM TO LENGTH % Cu ASSAY ASSAY ASSAY (ft.) (ft.) (ft.) oz. au/t. oz. au/t. g. au/t.

We are particularly encouraged by the elevated grades in the E-2 and Northwest deposits." A similar check program is underway regarding copper grades on the project. Studies on the open pit, bulk mineable deposits, conducted by former operators, note a possible7% understatement of copper grades in the earlier drill programs. Key drill holes will be checked during the summer program to determine if this effect pertains to the high grade zones as well. The Company also reported that Mr. Noori Lalani has joined the Board of Directors and that Mr. Bruce Spencer has tendered his resignation as a Director of the company.
