Closing of the acquisition is subject to negotiation of a definitive agreement between the Company and Eagle Plains as well as the acceptance for filing by the Exchange.

The Property

The Bohan project is located 20km northeast of Creston, southeastern British Columbia. The 7,900ha property is road-accessible and favorably located with respect to hydro electric power and rail transportation infrastructure.

The property hosts the Wilds Creek sedimentary exhalative ("sedex") type base-metal deposit, an historic (non-43-101 compliant) resource reported by Aho (1964) and published by the B.C. Geological Survey consisting of 136,000 tonnes grading 6% zinc (though these estimates are considered to be relevant, their
reliability has not been confirmed, but will constitute a target basis for future exploration work). Other target areas on the property are considered to have good potential to host additional sedex-type base-metal mineralization.

Drilling completed in 1990 and 1992 by previous operators returned values ranging from no significant results to 2.6m grading 10.2% Zn (L90-1); 3.1m
grading 3.44% Zn (L92-8), 2.3m grading 9.94% Zn (L92-9) and 3.1m grading 3.55%
Zn (L92-10).

The property overlies approximately 12km of favourable stratigraphy and contains numerous untested prominent soil geochemical anomalies along its projected strike.

Eagle Plains acquired the property by staking in 1999 and in subsequent years, completed airborne geophysical surveys, geological mapping, soil and stream-sediment geochemical surveys and limited diamond drilling.

The most recent work on the property was carried out by Eagle Plains in 2008, which completed a soil geochemical survey followed by a 3 hole, 370m diamond drilling program designed to test for both manto-type and sedex mineralization.These holes failed to reach target depth, but mineralization consisting of fine-grained sphalerite, galena and minor chalcocite was identified in two of three holes.

Additional work is recommended for the Property, including soil geochemical surveys and additional diamond drilling.
