Working capital increased by $3.2-million during the year, working

capital deficiency of $2.9-million at the end of the preceding year.

A management committee composed of representatives of Exall and
Glimmer Resources Inc. has approved the 1999 work plan which will
include: continued underground development to open ore zones along
strike and at depth; a 35,000 metre surface and underground diamond
drilling program to enhance the reserve base; installation of
permanent electrical facilities to power the operation through
Ontario Hydro; an extensive metallurgical testing program at
Lakefield Research to optimize ore beneficiation. With these and
other programs under way, the Glimmer mine should maintain its
profitability despite the current depressed gold market.

The mine produced as expected during 1998 and Exall is continuing to
aggressively develop an operation that will see increased production
and profitability going forward. All indications from underground
development and exploration work have given management a high level
of confidence that the geologic resource of 2.1 million ounces
announced during 1998 will be upgraded to mineable reserves.
