("Sonora Gold" or the "Company") adopts all resolutions from the

Venture Exchange approval, including a name change and 3 to 1 share

have 24,672,346 shares issued and outstanding and 36,342,194 shares

OPERATIONS

The Company has been working towards drill testing the highest priority
targets of the RHG copper gold prospect in northwestern British
Columbia, Canada for the past several months. Drill permits for up to 6
holes have been obtained from the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines and
the Company has been working to enlist a drill and crew for the project,
which have been unavailable until recently. Late September, the
Company's consulting geologists flew to the property to evaluate
conditions which were deemed favourable, although subsequent weather has
significantly deteriorated. As such, the Company has determined the
safety risk and expense of a winter drill program are overbearing
concerns at this time. The Company will re-evaluate the program for the
New Year.

On the San Enrique Option Lands, the Company is awaiting a progress
update from the project Operator. Although exploratory work on the
property has continued this summer, the Operator's anticipated drill
program was delayed awaiting further geological and geophysical
interpretations.

ACQUISITIONS

The Company is actively seeking and evaluating other potential property
acquisitions, although, as of this writing, no verbal or written
agreements have been made. More information will be provided when
available.
