LaPoint, and meet the guidelines of the TSX exchange and 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects report requirements.

During surveying and mapping the southern grid, grab samples were collected from small drainages being mined by local small scale miners (pockknockers). These very high assay results are from float derived from a near-by source.

Visible gold was seen in quartz veins with iron oxide coatings and limonitic voids developed from the weathering of pyrite. The samples come from different locations over 300 meters apart. The quartz veining is near the structural contact between sheared granite and very clay-rich soil that is thought to be weathered mafic igneous rock. This structure has pockknocker activity over a strike of at least 10 km.

The Company is now preparing the area to begin the Augering and sampling program.

President/CEO Ted Pomerleau stated: "These two areas will be worked extensively over the next six months. We feel that the Alimonie site which encompasses a large area has the potential of becoming a gold resource for the company."
