The Company has received gross proceeds of $1,300,000 on the private placement of 2,000,000 units at a price of $0.65 per unit through Haywood Securities Inc. as Agent.

The Company also paid a corporate finance fee of 30,000 Units.

Funds from the placement will be used to accelerate the exploration program on the Workman Creek deposit, commence exploration on other recently staked properties in Gila County, Arizona, and for general working capital purposes.

In accordance with applicable securities laws, all securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a hold period expiring July 3, 2005.
