    PROPERTY, ONTARIO

The AGE Property primarily covers a sequence of volcanic rocks located on the north side of the West Timmins sedimentary basin and along the west extension of the Bristol fault from the Timmins Mine and Thunder Creek properties where Lake Shore Gold Corp (LSG) is currently developing a potential large scale mining operation. The key initial target for exploration on the AGE Timmins Property include the down plunge extension of gold zones located at the Timmins mine and Thunder Creek deposits including a pronounced "Fold nose" structure thought to control the bulk of gold mineralization at the Timmins mine and where LSG recently announced discovery of a second fold nose and significant new gold intersections approximately 600 meters east of the boundary with the AGE property (see LSG press release dated February 18, 2010). Additional targets to be tested will include the projected down plunge extension of the Rusk horizon as well as new targets to be defined by surface exploration along the west extension of the Bristol fault. The initial drill program on the AGE Property will consist of about a 2,500 meter drill hole designed to test both the fold-nose feature and the Rusk horizon below the 2,000 meter level along projected trends defined by LSG as well as one to two wedge holes to test along strike and dip. Coincident with this, some work will be undertaken to evaluate programs for surface mapping, sampling and geophysics. LSG will manage and supervise the above programs.
