EXPLORATION UPDATE

Further to our March 5/04 news release whereby Montoro reported the Malachite property had been expanded by 16 claims to the northeast along strike of the Smith Zone, Montoro has now completed the grid extension and subsequent Magnetic & VLF survey through the new claims. Montoro is completing an agreement with a drilling contractor and is expecting to drill a further 5 holes totalling approx. 750 metres to follow-up the down dip and strike potential of the Main Zone, the Smith Zone and to test any newly delineated VLF anomalies.
