Drumlummon Mine Update

Since July 6th, under the supervision of the Drumlummon Mine General Manager
Joseph Bardswich, the Company has continued to target 500 tons per day of ore
and development mining from the Drumlummon Mine. Milling of the high-grade ore
continues at the Philipsburg mill with lower grade ore milled at Barrick's
Golden Sunlight facilities. The Company expects to file an application for an
Operating Permit with the State in October of this year.


Effective September 1, 2011, the Company has established an employee benefits
plan including prescription drugs, health, dental, and vision coverage to allow
it to retain and attract a high quality workforce. Further, the Company has
continued to improve safety and environmental procedures and policies to enhance
its social license to operate in the local communities of Marysville and Helena,
and in the state of Montana.


Under the direction of Jim Atkinson, VP Exploration, the Company has begun an
aggressive underground drill campaign to further delineate the known high-grade
veins, to extend the known veins along strike and at-depth, and to discover new
veins within the mine. To test the area between the Drumlummon Mine and the Bald
Butte assets, a soil geochemical program has begun. Surface drilling has begun
in the Woodchopper Gulch area to test known but un-mined vein systems. Once a
second surface drill is available in September the former Nine Hour workings
will be tested from surface.


The Company expects to release its June 30, 2011 audited Financial Statements in
early October and to update shareholders on actual produced gold and silver with
accompanying production costs at that time.
