Further to our news release of March 5, 2004 wherein Montoro reported very encouraging cobalt/copper drill results on the 53 claim (938 hectare) Malachite property and a recommended phase II drill program, we report the following additional progress.

The grid and subsequent Magnetic & VLF survey were extended northeast along strike of the expanded 16 claims. A further 5 hole drill program has been completed totalling approx. 675 metres to follow-up the down dip and strike potential of the Main Zone, the Smith Zone and to test a newly delineated VLF anomaly from the recent survey.
