<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Vancouver, B.C., February 12, 2004 - News Update on Afton Project</p>
<i><b>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Underground Workings In Design: </b></i>DRC Resources is preparing for
the 2004 exploration season of the Afton Copper-Gold Project, with the final design of the
underground workings which will be used for the estimated 25,000 metre diamond drill
program and the metallurgical bulk sampling. </p>
<i><b>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Underground Team Being Assembled:</b></i> The company is assembling an
engineering team for this next phase of exploration and will be tendering the underground
excavation work to mining contractors. The object of this work is to convert resources to
reserves and take the Afton Project through feasibility to the development stage. </p>
<i><b>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Improved Resource Estimate: </b></i>An Updated Mineral Study by Behre
Dolbear &amp; Company Ltd. has estimated measured and indicated mineral resources to be
68.7 million tonnes grading 1.68% Copper Equivalent (Metal Prices Used: Copper $US
0.85/lb, Gold $US 375/oz, Silver $US 5.25/oz and Palladium $US 200/oz). The Afton
mineralization is continuous over a 1000 m (3300 ft) length and 775 m (2550 ft) depth,
with the zone still open for further exploration.</p>
<i><b>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">World Conditions Favour Afton Project: </b></i>Steadily increasing
world demand for base metals has strengthened the price of copper, which recently exceeded
US$1.20/lb, greatly enhancing the economics of the Afton Project. The good news for
projects that are approaching development stage, such as Afton, is that new demand
forecasts are for long term strength in copper prices on the basis of a sharp reduction in
world copper stockpiles. The company has opened discussion with a number of Japanese
smelter operators, who have expressed strong interest in the Afton concentrates, which are
desirable for their high copper content (+30%) and high gold content (+20 g/t of
concentrate). With its $25 million in working capital, the company is in a good position
to seek future smelter sales and a production financing partners for this $140 million
development project and has put that job at the top of its list of priorities.</p>
<i><b>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Low Cost Mining Methods Possible: </b></i>The main Afton mineral zone
appears to be amenable to application of low cost underground bulk mining methods. In the
Advanced Scoping Study dated October, 2003 (filed on SEDAR), SRK Consulting (Steffen
Robertson and Kirsten) geotechnical sub-consultants to Behre Dolbear on the advanced
scoping study, indicates in a preliminary geotechnical assessment that they consider the
rock mass strength and fragmentation of the Afton deposit favorable for low cost bulk cave
mining. Metalica Consultores of Chile, engineers specializing in underground bulk mining
methods, prepared a 9000 tonne per day mine plan simulation that indicates the Afton
deposit has favorable economic possibilities for panel (block) cave mining of a 50 Million
Tonne Mineral Resource.</p>
<i><b>

<p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">New Surface Work: </b></i>Concurrent with the underground program on
the Main Afton Zone, 2004 surface exploration will focus on the recently discovered
shallow Gold Porphyry Zone, immediately east of the Afton Pit and the Company's Ajax
Property where the previous operator reportedly mined copper-gold ore in two open pits.
Both mineral zones have good exploration potential to develop additional resources and are
located on existing mine haulage roads.</p>
