    ANDRESMIN PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

    Two main Peruvian properties:

    Winicocha:

  • The Winicocha copper-gold-molybdenum project in southern Peru is Andresmin’s flagship project.
  • Andresmin acquired a 100% interest in Winicocha from Centromin and Centromin reports that Winicocha hosts an inferred reserve of 1.4 million ounces of gold which is thought to be a near-surface expression of a much larger underlying copper-gold porphyry deposit.
  • Recent sampling found a geochemical anomaly with grades ranging to 1.0% copper and 5.0 grams per tonne gold, and coincident geophysics has outlined three large anomalies. Exploration is ongoing on all projects.
  • Winicocha lies in close proximity to other properties that have been acquired and drill tested by major mining companies, Southwestern Resource Corp. and RTZ Rio Tinto.
  • Huarangayoc:

  • Also acquired from Centromin, the Huarangayoc gold polymetallic project is located in the central region of the Cordillera Negra in the Ancash department of Peru.
  • ADGD plans an aggressively drilling program throughout 2005.
  • PLAN OF OPERATION

  • Begin exploration program in the Spring of 2005, for approximately two months.
  • ADGD currently has sufficient funds to begin a drilling program of approximately 10 holes - estimated to cost $500,000, to be conducted during the summer of 2005 and take approximately six weeks to complete.
  • Current monthly operating and administrative costs are about US$45,000, with $50,000 budgeted for monthly exploration.
  • FROM AN eRESEACH REPORT

    The following table shows a comparison of 4 copper mines within 80 km of Winicocha:

    Comparison of Copper Mines

    Property; Company; Amount & Grade; Est. gross value of Copper

    Tintaya; BHP Billiton; 200 Mt @ 1.5% Cu; $8.5 billion

    Antapaccay; BHP Billiton; 390 Mt @ 0.83% Cu; $9.25 billion

    Las Chancas; Southern Peru Copper Corp.; 450 Mt @ 1% Cu; $12.8 billion

    Las Bambas; XSTRATA; 500 Mt @ 1% Cu; $14.3 billion

    Winicocha; Andresmin Gold Corp; 780 Mt @ 1% Cu; $22.3 billion potential value*

    (potential tonnage calculation)

    *Comment: "The above table is based on preliminary findings and estimations only, as resources are not yet established. As a result, we are not able to factor the potential copper resource into our valuation, but we believe that positive news from copper exploration activities at Winicocha will provide an upward lift for the share price provided there is a continuing strong performance in copper prices."
