(TSX VENTUREUN) whereby Duncastle can acquire a 100% interest in the Company's three exploration properties in southwestern Yukon.

Assuming the requirements of existing property agreements now in place for the Spy and Ultra properties by assignment from Ashburton, including the completion of $500,000 in exploration work, $85,000 in cash payments, and the issuance of 650,000 shares over 5 years;
Paying $5,000 to Ashburton for the Ultra property and a further $5,000 to the underlying vendor of the Ultra property, and;
Issuing 350,000 shares to Ashburton for purchase of the CKR claims and a further 150,000 shares to Ashburton for assignment of the Spy and Ultra claims.
The company looks forward to updating shareholders in the near future regarding progress at its highly prospective Hackett Project and the recently acquired claims contiguous to the western border of Garibaldi Resources Corp.'s Grizzly Property.
