GoldcorpThe north-western part of the Cheechoo B block is looking like a promising area for further exploration in 2008.

Eleonore
At the Eleonore project in Quebec, four drill rigs continue work with the goal of expanding the previously reported mineral resource, as issued in a press release on June 25, 2007. North of the Roberto Zone, a high grade shear zone with quartz veining continues to see strong results, including 1.0 meter of 327 grams per tonne and 2.0 meters of 216.6 grams per tonne. In addition, drill hole ELE-07-481 containing 3.0 meters of 199.2 grams per tonne was cut in a separate new area east of the Roberto deposit. This result is considered to be part of a new shallow body of yet unknown rake and dimension. The discovery of the shear zone provides additional support for further extensions of mineralization along shear zones both north and south of the main Roberto zone. The main zone is also being tested with a deep hole intended to intercept the Roberto deposit at a 1,500 meter depth. A drill plan is in place to further outline the northern end of the Roberto ore shoot to a depth of 800 meters and to continue following the north and possible south shear zone mineralization. Most of the Eleonore concession remains unexplored. A first-phase regional sampling program, for which results are pending, will help direct the evaluation of future regional targets in 2008.
