Dachang Drilling Results

David G. Wahl, P.Eng., P.Geo. Inter-Citic's internal Qualified Person in 2003 received data from the 2003 drill program at Dachang, which was announced in January, 2004. These results further define the gold zones in Anomaly #1, and are consistent with those announced earlier in 2004. These results were reported in a press release dated May 27, 2004.

The 2003 program comprised 3500 m of diamond drilling, the sinking of 10 prospect shafts and 2.5 kilometers of trenching to confirm continuity and grade of mineralization. The program included 31 drill holes, of which 23 have been reported with the remaining 8 assays due in the quarter ending May, 2004.

Significant results from the 2003 program included 5.3 g/t gold over 58.2 metres, which included 9.4 g/t gold over 25.1 metres. This latter interval includes two very high-grade zones averaging 21.4 g/t gold over 4.3 metres and 20.6 g/t gold over 1.9 metres

Among the results released are assays from the remaining eight holes of the 31-hole drill program. Significant gold intercepts include 7.0 meters grading 6.91 g/t Au in Hole ZK-11103 (which includes individual and consecutive one metre assays of 13.4 g/t and 15.5 g/t), 8.46 g/t over 5.04 metres in Hole ZK 3101, and 4.82 g/t over 6.0 metres and 7.17 g/t over 5.16 metres in Hole ZK-0803. Significant shaft results include 6 metres grading 12.13 g/t in Shaft QJ-4501.

Results of the remaining eight drill holes and the final two prospecting shafts are summarized in the chart below.

Note: Shaft QJ-9501 was sunk in the area of the up-dip projection of the mineralization intersected in Hole ZK-9501, which returned 1.3g/t Au over 72.2m. This intersection included 8.9g/t over 3.3m and 5.2g/t Au over 6.6m (ref Press Release January 8, 2004). The assay results from this shaft support the encouraging results encountered in hole ZK-9501.

Sampling & Analysis

Sampling and analysis was carried out by QGSI at a state owned laboratory facility in Xining. Geologists selected the intervals to be sampled. After being weighed and registered on a sample transfer list, the samples were sent to the QGSI laboratory in Xining, the capital of Qinghai Province. At the QGSI laboratory, the samples were dried and pulverized. A 20 gram sample of the pulverized material was used for analysis using wet chemical methods.

This drilling report result was prepared by management, including Mr. D. G. Wahl, P.Eng., P. Geo., Inter-Citic's internal Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, and has been reviewed by Dr. George Cargill, P.Eng., Inter-Citic's external Qualified Person.
