Section 180m South
Five drill holes were completed 180 m south of the True
Fissure Zone ("TFZ"). Results of these drill holes indicate
that the TFZ-type mineralization extends considerably further south than
previously known, and is continuous with high-grade intercepts reported
on Section 330m South (See News Release dated November 5, 2007). Drill
hole depths approximate the true thickness of the zones.
Thor-47 (-45 degrees) was drilled
west from a pre-existing road and intersected the GNZ close to surface. The
GNZ is highly enriched in silver, copper and lead relative to other
intercepts in the area.

Thor-48 (-72 degrees) was drilled
from the same setup as Thor-47 and intersected the CMU at shallow depth. An
interval from 6.55 - 7.62
m encountered a void, which may be a small
exploration adit that was driven on the GNZ in the late 1890's, but
subsequently collapsed. The bounding-wall rock grades are strongly
suggestive that this was an extremely high-grade part of the GNZ that was
targeted by early prospectors at Thor.

Thor-49 (-90 degrees) was drilled
from the same setup as 47 and 48 and intersected a wide zone of silver
and copper mineralization within quartz-sulphide type rocks of the CMU.

Thor-57 (-65 degrees) was collared 90 m east of holes 47,
48 and 49, and intersected the CMU at depth, extending the zone over 70 m down-dip the hole
49 intercept. The zone shows considerable thickening, and the two
intercepts tabulated below occur within a 6.15
m wide
zone (74.13 - 80.28 m)
grading 0.61 g/t Au, 120.13 g/t Ag, 0.09% Cu, 1.69% Pb and 2.15% Zn
within both massive sulphide and quartz-sulphide breccia of the CMU.

Drill hole Thor-56 (-85 degrees) was
drilled from the same set-up as Thor-57 and tested the GNZ down-dip of
the hole 57 intercept. This drill hole intersected one smaller zone of
higher grade material tabulated below within a 6.92
m wide
zone (82.17 - 89.09 m)
grading 0.16 g/t Au, 27.71 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu, 0.46% Pb and 0.64% Zn.

Section 330m South
Drill holes 59 and 60 were drilled
down-dip of holes 50 through 54 that traced a continuous zone of
mineralization (see News Release dated November 5, 2007) including 3.29
g/t Au, 305.8 g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu, 3.92% Pb and 7.84% Zn over 1.94 m.
Thor-59 (-70 degrees) intersected
two separate lenses of massive sulphide mineralization. The upper lens
(CMU-1) occurs within a much wider zone of mineralization located from 17.50 m wide zone
(78.94 - 96.44 m)
grading 0.26 g/t Au, 63.65 g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu, 0.47% Pb and 1.02% Zn. Although
the lower lens is primarily silver and lead-bearing, it is the up-dip
extension of the CMU-2 Zone intersected in drill hole 60 and indicates
that the zones are widening at depth.

Thor-60
Thor-60 (-90 degrees) is the most
southerly hole drilled on the GNZ and has significantly extended the GNZ
down dip. This drill hole has intersected one wide zone of low-grade
mineralization encapsulating the CMU-1 and CMU-2 higher grade zones that
is 11.76 m wide (88.00 - 99.76 m) and averaged
0.30 g/t Au, 36.00 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu, 0.62% Pb and 0.55% Zn.

Analytical work was completed by the
AccurAssay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario that is accredited to
Standards Council of Canada, Scope of Accreditation 434 (conforms with
requirements of CAN−P−4D (ISO/IEC 17025), and CAN−P−1579).
Drill core is logged on-site and is sawed in half for analysis.� One half is retained for geologic
records and further assay verification if required.� Exploration activities on the Thor
property were overseen by John Gardiner (P. Geol.) and Jim Helgeson (P.
Geo.), both Qualified Persons under the meaning of Canadian National
Instrument 43-101.
