About Lysander:

Since 1992, when it recognized the potential of the area, Lysander has assembled a significant land package within the Omenica Mining District of British Columbia.  Its focus has been on the Hogem Batholith and the Duckling Creek complex, a large alkaline intrusive complex.  Following the spin-off of the Lorraine-Jajay Property to Lorraine Copper Corp. (TSX-V: LLC), Lysander?s strategy includes the acquisition of additional resource interests.  It continues to hold the Pinchi, Descend and Osilinka/CAT properties. 

The large Pinchi Property, to the north and west of the Lorraine-Jajay Property, is believed to include a significant section of the Duckling Creek complex.  A number of exploration targets have been recently identified and a summer exploration program is being planned.  Exploration of the Osilinka/CAT Property has been farmed out to a junior exploration company, which has an option to earn a 50% interest.   

The Company is actively seeking new opportunities.
