The Company may purchase 0.05% of the NSR for C$600,000. The remaining 1.25% NSR is subject to a pre-existing agreement with and arms length third party.

Wes Hanson, P.Geo., President and CEO of Xplore, notes, "Perrigo Lake provides a third property in the Red Lake Mining Division, one of the premier locations in Canada for the discovery of gold mineralization. Ontario Geological Survey maps suggest that the property is dominated by felsic to mafic volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks and metasedimentary rocks with the potential to host gold mineralization. Gold was actively mined at the Uchi mine, 10 kms to the southwest, from 1939 to 1943, with over 100,000 ounces of historical production. Perrigo has not been systematically explored and we look forward to initiating exploration at our latest project. Airborne magnetic surveys at Pringle and Upper Red Lake are scheduled to commence shortly and we expect that we will be able to include Perrigo Lake in the scope of work. Our plan is to complete reconnaissance mapping and sampling of all three Red Lake properties in the fall."
