About Sherwood Copper

Sherwood Copper's current focus is profitable production of base and precious
metals from high grade, open pit mines in Canada. Sherwood's first operating
mine, the high grade Minto copper-gold mine in Yukon, Canada, was built on
budget and ahead of schedule. The Minto Mine is one of the highest-grade open
pit copper-gold mines in the world, and is forecast to be a low cost producer.
Aggressive exploration on the Minto property has yielded significant success,
providing Sherwood the opportunity to 'grow from within' by expanding the
resource and reserve base, potentially leading to further production increases.
To further accelerate its production growth, Sherwood intends to pursue merger &
acquisition opportunities that fit its business model and, in March 2008,
Sherwood acquired more than 93% ownership in Western Keltic Mines, owner of the
high-grade Kutcho copper-zinc-gold-silver deposit in northwestern British
Columbia. Sherwood aims to repeat its successful development of the Minto Mine
at the Kutcho project.
