<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Ministry of Health in Turkey has now issued the Establishment Permit for the Kisladag gold project. &nbsp;The Company&#146;s 100% owned Kisladag project containing 5.1 million ounces of gold in proven and probable reserves is being advanced through the permitting process with construction planned to commence Q2 2004. &nbsp;The Establishment Permit provides approval for water use and effluent discharge plans, as well as defining the health protection zone and medical treatment facilities for the mine operation. &nbsp;Two permits remain to be obtained prior to construction and the commencement of production. &nbsp;These permits, the Opening Permit and the Construction Permit, are anticipated early in 2004 allowing construction to commence Q2 2004.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The first hole completed in this program has intersected quartz mineralization at a depth of six meters, with gold values of 6.8 g/t over 1 meter. &nbsp;Drilling will continue on the prospect through to 2004.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>A total of 748 meters of RC drilling have been carried out on the Keditasi prospect to test a bulk tonnage high sulfidation target trending ENE along a silica ridge previously identified through soil geochemical sampling. &nbsp;Drill testing of an anomaly associated with high-grade rock samples on the eastern end of the 600 meter by 150 meter main zone has failed to locate significant mineralization. &nbsp;Drill results in the west of the zone have encountered anomalous Au and Ag values associated zones of vuggy silica and advanced argillic alteration. &nbsp;Three drill holes in this area identified a flat lying silica structure. &nbsp;These drill zones failed to penetrate the vuggy zone due to poor ground however detectable gold was found at the contact zone. &nbsp;Drill hole KTR 02 intercepted 16 meters grading 0.73 g/t including 6 meters at 1.37 g/t Au. &nbsp;</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Assay results show the average grade encountered across the full width of the main vein to be 1.5 g/t Au, dropping to 1.17 g/t over the total mineralized zone. &nbsp;Higher grades were encountered along the locally enriched footwall contact, where the best intercept ran 7.3 g/t over 4 meters. &nbsp;Continuity of the contact zone will be tested along strike in 2004. &nbsp;</P>
