The Blende Deposit 

The Blende Property, which was the largest lead-zinc-silver deposit at the time
of the detailed geological paper by Robinson and Godwin in 1995, is a large
moderate grade deposit optioned by the Company in 2005 and is now owned by the
Company who purchased a 100% interest on November 30, 2008. In total, from 2006
to 2008, the Company has expended approximately $3.6 million, not including
property payments. Based on 1991 and previous drilling programs, published
historical tonnages and grades of the "reserve" were estimated by Billiton for
the whole property as:
