Non-Brokered Private Placement to Raise up to $100,000

The Company is pleased to announce it is also arranging a private placement of non-flow-through units to raise proceeds of up to an additional $100,000. It has been agreed the offering will be comprised of up to 2,000,000 units, at a price of $0.05 per unit. Each unit will be comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, each warrant being exercisable for the purchase of one additional common share, at a price of $0.05, for a two year period.

The proceeds from the sale of the units will be used to pay debt and for working capital purposes.

Certain directors and officers of the Company will participate in the private placement.
