The Octo property is comprised of 17,760 acres located near the headwaters of Shaw Creek, Alaska. The property is five kilometres northwest and along strike of the  recently discovered  important  and  large  high  grade Pogo gold property currently under exploration by Teck Corp. and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. In 1998, Teck delineated  a  10-million ton deposit containing 5.2 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.52 ounce per ton. The resource remains open to the northwest and to the southeast. Government  airborne  geophysical  maps  show  that  the  Pogo  deposit  is associated  with  a  prominent  magnetic  low  situated  along  a northwest trending magnetic linear. A similar magnetic feature  occurs  on  the  Octo gold property. The company can earn a 70 per  cent  interest  in  the  property  from  the vendors  by  making  cash  and  share payments over 36 months and incurring exploration expenditures of $200,000 (U.S.) over 12 months. The property is subject  to  a  30  per  cent carried interest and a 3 per cent net product royalty. Valerie can purchase the 30  per  cent  carried  interest  in  the property for 200,000 shares at any time up to commercial production and has the right to purchase 1 per cent of the net product royalty for $1,000,000. A finder's fee is payable to an individual. The company is presently incorporating an Alaskan subsidiary  to  hold  and explore the Octo property. A 1999 work program is planned to begin in April and  will  involve  geological  mapping,   prospecting,   geophysical   and geochemical surveys and diamond drilling.
