The Company’s objective is to evaluate its key gold projects in the Canadian Shield of Ontario. Diamond drilling programs have been planned at the Sky Lake project in northwest Ontario and the North Abitibi project in northeast Ontario. Sky Lake is located between past-producing mines at the Pickle Lake gold mining district and hosts a non-compliant gold resource initially delineated in the 1950’s. Tri Origin’s program is designed to confirm historic results and test for extensions to the known deposit. The North Abitibi project is along trend from the producing Casa Berardi Gold Mine and other past producing mines to the east in Quebec and is south of the Detour Lake Gold Mine. Previous, near-surface drilling by Tri Origin has delineated extensive gold mineralization in zones which now require deeper drilling to determine their economic significance.

Completion of the share consolidation allows the Company to consider financing opportunities to advance these projects. Shareholders will be informed of the initiation of these activities as soon as possible following required approvals.
