Acquisition Program

The Company continues to seek, examine and pursue quality acquisitions and business opportunities. Our objectives are to close selective deals that are financeable in the current market while growing the Company and adding value to our shareholders. Criteria for this initiative include projects having the following attributes:

• Advanced status with significant tonnages and grades of resources and/or reserves that are compliant with Canadian and US mining standards.
  
• Financial performance projections deemed adequate to raise equity funding under current market conditions.
  
• Politically stable venues acceptable for performing exploration, development and production operations, primarily in North America.
  
• Gold and silver resources that may contain base metal by-products.

In this regard, current depressed metal prices have now developed better opportunities to make strategic acquisitions and build the Company. Notwithstanding, the Company may not be successful in completing or integrating such acquisitions or business opportunities.
