Work slated for the first half of 2006 is aimed at advancing Pico Machay towards a production decision and includes an update of the Resource Calculation and a round of diamond drilling for detailed metallurgical test work and geotechnical engineering. In addition, continued reverse circulation drilling will be completed to both expand the zone of known mineralization, and to test recently identified high priority targets located within the project area.

Pico Machay is characteristic of a high-sulphidation, epithermal gold system. The geological model has been repeatedly tested and additional drilling continues to delineate and expand the resource base. The Company previously announced an independent preliminary Mineral Resource Estimate indicating an inferred resource of 580,000 ounces of gold at the Pico Machay Gold Project (see news release Sept.26, 2005).
