<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify><B>Underground Decline Proceeding Well</B></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>The main portion of the underground exploration decline has now been completed to a distance of more than 650 metres, which is more than 50% of the planned total. &nbsp;The exploration decline provides the access required to complete the underground infill drilling necessary to upgrade copper-gold mineral resources into reserves. &nbsp;In addition to this main portion of the decline, a total of approximately 550 metres of underground excavation are scheduled in order to cross-cut into the main zone of copper-gold mineralization. &nbsp;The information acquired from this underground work will provide the technical data necessary to complete a bankable feasibility.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify><B>Ground Conditions Continue to Be Very Good</B></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>The quality of the ground encountered in the decline continues to be very good and the better than anticipated ground conditions have enhanced the progress on the decline. &nbsp;In addition, DRC is particularly encouraged by the dry conditions and lack of any appreciable water in the decline. &nbsp;DRC has retained the services of Minefill Services Inc.
(Minefill) of Seattle, Washington, USA in order to analyze the ground conditions and to assess the ground support practices being followed by the Company. &nbsp;In a recently completed report Minefill stated that <I>&#147;geotechnical data collected along the decline indicates rock quality to be better than initially estimated from borehole data.&#148; &nbsp;</I>Minefill Services Inc. provides specialist technical services in rock mechanics to mining clients worldwide. &nbsp;Dr. David Stone,
P.Eng, the President of Minefill Services, Inc., is an internationally recognized expert in
mining/geotechnical engineering with a career that spans 20 years of providing consulting services to mining operations.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify><B>Underground Drilling Accelerating</B></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>The underground drilling continues to progress well. &nbsp;To date, five (5) infill holes have been completed on three (3) separate sections. &nbsp;Currently one diamond drill is operating underground, with a second one scheduled to start-up within a week. &nbsp;Once two diamond drills are operating, the rate of infill drilling will accelerate appreciably. &nbsp;The infill drilling is designed to better define the grade and distribution of the copper-gold mineralization and to provide the confidence necessary to convert mineral resources into reserves. &nbsp;DRC intends to release results as individual sections are completed in order to provide a meaningful comparison of the results of the infill holes to the previous model for the mineralization.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>DRC&#146;s recently (6<SUP>th</SUP> April, 2005) announced $3 million flow-through financing will help the Company initiate and complete an aggressive surface exploration program on both the Afton and Ajax copper-gold properties which comprise a total of 4,800 hectares (12,000 acres). &nbsp;The Company is currently negotiating a diamond drill contract for a program of surface drilling. &nbsp;Potential additional work being considered includes both airborne and surface geophysical surveys. &nbsp;DRC is excited by the potential for discovery of additional zones of mineralization on both these properties and believes that this surface exploration program is a key component in the Company&#146;s efforts to maximize shareholder value.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>In providing this update, President and CEO, Chris Bradbrook stated, <I>&#147;We continue to be extremely encouraged by the progress to date at our Afton copper-gold project. &nbsp;The underground work is ahead of schedule, the ground conditions continue to exceed our expectations, the underground drilling is proceeding according to plan, and an exciting surface exploration program is about to commence. &nbsp;Our Vice President of Exploration and Development, Mike
Hibbitts, and his team on site are to be congratulated on their efforts on behalf of our shareholders. &nbsp;We are very excited about the future potential of this project.&#148;</I></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Book Antiqua; font-size:12pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>DRC&#146;s main focus is the exploration and development of its 100%-owned Afton Copper-Gold Project, located 10 km west of
Kamloops, B.C. &nbsp;To date the Company has outlined a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 68.7 Million Tonnes grading 1.68% Copper Equivalent or 2.61g/t Gold Equivalent (1.08% Cu, 0.85 g/t Au, 2.62 g/t Ag, 0.12 g/t Pd), which contains approximately 1.6 billion pounds of copper, and 1.9 million ounces of gold (Advanced Scoping Study, February 2004, Behre Dolbear and Company Ltd.). &nbsp;At current metal prices this mineral resource has an
in-situ value in excess of US$3 Billion. &nbsp;The Company is currently conducting a US$14.5 million feasibility study at the project, to determine the potential economics and capital requirements of developing a new underground Copper-Gold Mine at the site.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>A 2004 advanced scoping study completed by Behre Dolbear and Company Ltd., indicates that this project would have initial capital expenditures of US$120 million and (at conservative metal prices of US$0.85 per pound copper, and US$375 per ounce gold) when viewed as a primary copper mine, could potentially produce the metal at a cash (direct) operating cost of US$0.15 per pound of copper, and when viewed as a primary gold mine, could produce the metal at negative cash operating cost per ounce of gold. &nbsp;According to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy &amp; Mines, the Afton Project is the largest advanced exploration project in South Central B.C. &nbsp;</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>DRC is in excellent financial condition with cash of US$20 million (at year end 2004) and no debt. &nbsp;The company has only 13.9 million shares outstanding and 15.5 million shares fully diluted.</P>

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regula
tions do not recognize any circumstances in which inferred mineral resources may be so used. &nbsp;U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred resource category described as a &#145;resource falling within the mine plan&#146; will ever be converted into &#145;reserves&#146; within the definition of that term in SEC Industry Guide 7. &nbsp;Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources. &nbsp;This section uses the terms &#147;measured&#148; and &#147;indicated resources.&#148; &nbsp;We advise U.S. investors that, while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. &nbsp;U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.</P>
