PRECIOUS METALS
Magnum Goldcorp Inc. drilled the LH property, targeting gold
mineralization identified in historic underground workings.
In the Greenwood area, Ximen Mining Corp. continued work
at the Gold Drop project. Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. was active
on its Greenwood (May Mac) properties, and Kinross Gold
Corporation optioned 27,346 hectares of land owned by Grizzly
Discoveries Inc. The area is north of Kinross Gold Corporation's
Kettle River-Buckhorn mine and concentrator (Kettle River

1,800 tonnes per day.
POLYMETALLIC BASE AND PRECIOUS METALS
Purcell Basin Minerals Inc. continued with environmental
baseline studies at its Gallowai Bul River Mine and is work-
ing toward an application for a mine restart. The copper-silver
mine has a 750-tonne-per-day mill on site, as well as underground
development, and has been on care and maintenance since 2009.
Sedimentary exhalative mineralization in mesoprotero-
zoic rocks continued to be a target in the East Kootenays.
PJX Resources Inc. continued drilling at the Vine project and
expanded its geological and geophysical modelling to define
additional targets. Santa Fe Metals Corp. continued geophysical
work, with plans for additional drilling later this year on the Sully
property, and Sonoro Metals Corp. drilled at its Monroe project.
In the West Kootenays, Taranis Resources Inc. continued
exploration on its Thor project, targeting gold and stratiform
base-metal mineralization. Discovery Ventures Inc. continued
work at Willa, with plans for drilling and bulk sampling. The
company also acquired FortyTwo Metals Inc., and now owns 100
per cent of the nearby Max mine and mill, which it plans to use to
