The 156 hectare property is located in Region 111 of Chile, near the mining
centre of Copiapo. It is adjacent and to the west of Bridgeport's Rosario and
Tamara properties and is located in a similar geological environment. Copper
oxide ores have been mined on the Soesmi property. Exploration conducted in 2008
for an extension of the copper-oxide mineralization encountered sulphide
mineralization in a diamond drill hole grading of 4% copper over 13 metres
commencing at a depth of 40 meters.


Hugh Snyder, Chairman of Bridgeport, stated, "Mineralization on the Soesmi
property confirms westward extension of copper mineralization from Rosario, and
represents an important step towards increasing the company's land position in
the Copiapo region."


Under the terms of the agreement with the property owners, Bridgeport will pay 1
million U.S. dollars over four years to acquire a 100% interest in the Soesmi
Property, of which 75,000 U.S. dollars was paid on closing. The Soesmi property
is subject to a 2% net smelter royalty fee. The royalty may be purchased for 1
million U.S. dollars. Exploration on the Soesmi property will commence later
this month.
