Update on the Elder mine

Currently, a mine development program is taking place. About 45 employees are
working on the mine site. This program involves rehabilitating old drifts,
excavating new drifts and preparing stopes. From May to September, about 17,000
tonnes of mineralized material were extracted from the mine and stockpiled on
the Elder mine site and partly at the Aurbec Sleeping Giant mine site. The
milling of the gold mineralization started on October 2 last and is continuing.


So far, we have received the following results:



                      Tonnes        Gold    Recovery         Ounces produced
Month                treated        oz/t      % gold        Gold      Silver
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
October               12,215        5.15        95.3       1,926     550 +/-
November               7,668        5.29        96.8       1,261     360 +/-
to December 10         2,450        4.49        96.0     340 +/-      97 +/-



The gold bricks are sent to the Royal Canadian Mint for refining and the refined
gold and silver ingots are sold to a major Canadian chartered bank. For the
October production and about 70% of the November production, we have received
close to $3.5 M. The proceeds from the sale of gold and silver will be applied
against the cost of the mine development program. 


The management of the Company expects that the treatment of the gold
mineralization will produce enough revenues to cover most, if not all, future
mine development costs during the mine development stage. If these funds are not
sufficient, the Company will, as in the past, finance itself by the issue of
shares or by debt. With the proceeds from the sale of gold being available now,
the tempo of mine development has been accelerated with the objective of
reaching full capacity in the first half of 2014. Consequently, we have hired
two development crews to rehabilitate the 8th and 9th levels and to extend the
western drift on the 8th level which will give us access to new stoping blocks.


So far, management is quite satisfied with the progress made under difficult
conditions including a very stringent control of costs needed in the absence of
adequate outside financing.
