extensive suite of projects in the Dominican Republic. Our exploration
program in the Dominican Republic has already delivered significant value and

underway. Robert will provide additional expertise to this program and to the
company as a whole. I am looking forward to working closely with him as he
engages with the rest of our team to contribute in achieving our goals".
Everton is partnered with Brigus Gold on
actively exploring in the Dominican Republic adjacent to the US$3.0 billion
Pueblo Viejo project, currently being developed by the world's largest gold
mining company, Barrick Gold Corporation (60%) (NYSE/TSX: ABX) in partnership
with Goldcorp (40%) ("Goldcorp") (NYSE: GG, TSX: G). Planned
divestiture of its 100%-owned subsidiary Hays Lake Gold containing the Shoal
Lake Gold Project in Kenora, Ontario is expected to provide internal funding
to advance the Ampliacion Pueblo Viejo project. Everton also holds an
interest in the Opinaca region of James Bay, Quebec where the Company has
partnered with Aurizon Mines Ltd. who is advancing Everton's interest by
funding 100% of all exploration work on one of the largest land packages
adjacent to Goldcorp's Eleonore gold deposit.
