Signed Option Joint Venture (Nov 24/08) with Goldcorp to earn 50% in Timmins West Property for work expenditures of $3.1M and cash and shares totalling $460,000 over 4 years

MEK to be operator during earn in and while it holds a 50% interest Goldcorp can earn back 20% for a cash payment of $310,000, expenditures of

$4.1M and taking the project to a Feasibility Study Opportunity to explore along 8 km of the Prolific Porcupine-Destor Break,

partnered with World Class Gold producer Between 3 and 8 km to the east along strike, gold production exceeds 22 million

oz from six mines. This includes the 16 million oz plus Dome Mine and mill complex owned by Goldcorp

Lake Shore Gold, located 10 km on strike to the west, is the focus of underground dev’t Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,291,000 oz (Source: NR, TSX:LSG, Nov. 20, 2006)

The past producing Naybob Mine (50,731 oz Au) is located on the optioned claims and hosts a historic non 43-101 resource of 1Mt @ 4.12 g/t Au.

Historic drilling generally confined to Naybob Mine Area and a cluster of holes in the Thomas Ogden Area. Outside of this area, little or no drilling.

Future work will be predominately drilling on the numerous gold targets and trends once a detailed compilation is complete
