Press Release – March 20, 2007

The Golder 2007 Estimate includes the results from the
3921m of drilling of 16 angle holes performed in 2006 to test the
mineralization potential of sub-vertical and vertical vein systems, in an
attempt to understand why the 9945 tonne bulk sample processed by Kerr Addison
Mines Limited, (1971) from raises along 6 vertical diamond drill holes graded
on average 20% more than was predicted from the core assays of those holes. The
overall results are inconclusive, however as shown below, comparing the
estimates for the measured & indicated resources using 0.04% Mo cut-off
shows that while the average grade remained the same, the amount of Mo
increased by 10.1 million lbs

The 2006 drilling campaign included an extensive programme
of quality assurance and control. The sampling and assaying control was
rigorous to ensure accuracy and precision, freedom from contamination and
maximum control. Golder converted the earlier drill hole and sampling database
into NAD83 UTM Coordinate Systems from the NAD27 UTM Coordinate Systems. All
drill hole information was validated through a checking program which
re-measured 5% of the database. These
updated data have been developed by Mr. Paul Palmer P.Geo., P.Eng. who visited
the project site August 22nd, 2006: he is an independent consultant
and Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101. Assaying was
performed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Limited in Vancouver, BC.
The Ruby Creek Project is a proposed open pit molybdenum
mine situated 24 kilometers northeast of Atlin,
BC, which will operate at 20,000
tonnes per day for 20 plus years and have an overall footprint of approximately
830 hectares. The Company believes
that the proposed mine is a sound project that will minimize any long term
environmental effects and maximize socio-economic benefits to the local community,
Taku River Tlingit First Nation and British
Columbia. The Project is currently in the detailed
engineering and equipment procurement phase and is progressing through the
environmental assessment process which should be completed during the 2nd
quarter of this year.
