The Company is encouraged with the above showings and will proceed to expand the geological understanding of this deposit through additional exploration. For the 2009 season we are proposing to continue to assemble the historical data, surface trench outcrops, strike and depth drill at least one showing, and geologically map the data. Don Wedman P.Eng., CEO and President of the Company commented "We are very please with the opportunity the Wheelbarrow property presents for the Company. The demonstrated grades and showings fits well with our Company focus of high grade silver developments. In addition, the semi-mobile mill being fabricated for the Silver Hart project would have the capability to process ore from this site. We will prepare this property over the next few years for feasibility assessment and development." Exploration permitting will begin immediately with the target of starting a on the ground investigation this July.
