NEWS RELEASE

June 24, 2002

UPDATE ON BATHURST, N.B. - COBALT PROSPECT
The Company is pleased to announce that we have been approved for a $20,000 exploration grant under the New Brunswick Junior Mining Assistance Program (NBJMAP). If further money becomes available in September the Company may apply for an additional $20,000.

This funding will allow the Company to complete a more comprehensive property wide exploration program. The Company is expecting to secure a small flow-through private placement in order to fund the balance of the work program. The grant is issued as 50% of the program costs, so it will be most beneficial for Montoro to complete a minimum of $40,000 in exploration, during this year.

OTHER:
Further to our News Release of May 14, 2002. The Company has terminated the Letter of Intent on the Peru gold prospect.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
