In the 2005 exploration season, the Company drill tested the immediate area of the Chevron Discovery Hole (#88-5) and was able to duplicate Chevron's results. Two high-grade zones were encountered at different levels. One zone returning 9g/t over 1 meter and the second zone returned 17 g/t over 1 meter. The hole also contained many meters of lower grade to anomalous gold. Two additional holes were drilled and returned tens of meters of low grade gold ranging up to 1.4 g/t. The presence of other elements such as ac mercury, stibnites and arsenopyrite are evidence of being high up in the system. In 2006, the company plans to drill deeper holes in an attempt to raise ore grades. Other areas of the large claim block will be explored. The Stirrup Claims were acquired because of their potential to host a large tonnage, low grade gold deposit. These claims have similar geology and are of the same age as the Round Mountain Deposit in Nevada which has produced some 10 million ounces of gold. (Anglo-Canadian Gold Corp) The upper Stirrup Creek area has produced several The upper Stirrup thousand ounces of placer gold. Creek area has produced several thousand ounces of placer gold. Zeus & Zeus #1 Claims The Zeus and Zeus #1 copper/gold claims are located approximately 40 km NW of Lillooet. The claims are made up of 20 unit block sand and cover approximately 1000 hectares. They are easily accessed by the allweather bridge river road and then by a 26 km forestry road. Work history: Department of Energy and Mines files indicated the majority of exploration programs were conducted between 1983 and 1995. These programs included geochemistry geophysics, mapping, trenching and diamond drilling. Over 2500 meters of drilling was completed in 1995. To date, a total of 8959 meters of drilling in 105 holes has been completed. The principal view is approximately 2 meters thick and can be traced for 700 meters. According to the Mine Files, a small copper/gold resource has been defined as a result of drilling to date. Potential to expand this resource is considered good. Geology on the property suggests a porphyry copper/gold deposit may be the source of the existing mineralization. This possibility is the main reason for the acquisition although the auriferous quartz veining system warrants further work to determine its potential. • Skoonka Creek Claim Anglo-Canadian Uranium Corp. has acquired an option to earn a 100-per-cent interest in 96 claims covering 1,942 hectares known as the Boothanie 12-3 claim and the B4, B5 and B6 claims in the Skoonka Creek area of British Columbia. The claims are located about 10 kilometres (km) from the Trans-Canada Highway and the CNR main line at Lytton, B.C., approximately three hours drive heading east from Vancouver. The claims are easily accessed by secondary roads. Skoonka Creek is the site of a recent high-grade discovery on a property jointly owned by Almaden Minerals and Strongbow Exploration. Strongbow reported one intersection of 20 grams per tonne (g/t) over 12.8 metres on its JJ showing. The company's claims adjoin the Strongbow Skoonka project. The Strongbow structure continues on to the newly acquired Boothanie claims and intersects Skoonka Creek on Anglo-Canadian's property. A staking rush has ensued and most if not all of this geological trend has been staked. The company is well financed to carry out an exploration program early this year. This program will begin with intensive prospecting, geochemical and geophysical surveys, followed by diamond drilling as warranted. (Anglo-Canadian Gold Corp) Lucky Boy Claims A ground geophysical survey and drill site preparation will be conducted on the Lucky Boy Claims. This will upgrade and add to all previous work programs that have identified extensive mineralization. This will be followed by drilling using the Crown Resources model for pattern and depth. (Anglo-Canadian Gold Corp) Las Coloradas The company has tendered an offer to the Mexican partner to purchase a larger interest in the Las Coloradas concession. No work or production is planned until a decision has been made. (Anglo-Canadian Gold Corp) Otish Mountain Diamonds In spring 2006, a sampling program will be conducted on at least two of the companies claim blocs in the Otish Mountain diamond camp in Quebec. These claims are well located in the vicinity of the Ashton Mining discovery. The purpose of the initial program will be to test eskers, stream and lake sediments for diamond indicator minerals. A recent airborne magnetic survey has delineated numerous magnetic targets of interest and these targets will also be sampled. Otish Mountain Charles & Big Mac Claims • • • The Company has acquired a 2100 hectare uranium property in Otish Basin in Quebec known as the Big Mac claim, which adjoins claims owned by Cogema and are partially covered by an airborne magnetic signature that also covers most the Cogema claims. The Otish basin was actively explored for uranium and thorium by several major companies during the late 1960s and through the 1970s. Several uranium-thorium showings were discovered and staked, but were subsequently abandoned coincident with declining uranium prices. The Otish basin is known to be host for thorium and uranium anomalies. It has been largely ignored due to uranium prices and the rich deposits in Saskatchewan. A work program for the 2006 exploration season is planned for both the Big Mac and the previously staked Charlie claim blocks located in the basin. Utah, USA Locuist Uranium Mine The Company has acquired an option to acquire a 100% interest in 39 uranium/vanadium claims in San Juan County, Utah. This purchase represents the first of several former uranium producers the Company intends to acquire and evaluate for production. The option covers two blocks known as the East Canyon Wash area, which includes the former producing Locuist Mine. The mine was operated by Atlas Mining Corp, but was shut down when nuclear energy fell out of favor after the Three Mile Island incident. The second block of claims is located adjacent to the operating ‘Jim But Mine’ and contains good Uranium (U308) sample values, together with evidence of good vanadium values. The Locuist Mine was mining 0.25% U308 plus vanadium when mining was terminated. A uranium/vanadium processing plant is located near Blanding, approximately 50 miles from the Locuist property. San Juan County was the source of 83% of the one hundred and eleven million pounds of U308 produced in Utah up until 1982, together with 60 million pounds of vanadium. The price of U308 has fluctuated over the years, but has shown a dramatic increase during the period 2001 to 2005 from US$7.50 to US$34.00/lb. Due to a worldwide need for alternative energy sources, a strong demand for U308 is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. Vanadium has also increased in value and is currently trading in the US$20.00/lb range Niger, Africa Uranium Concessions URA has applied for two large concessions in the ‘Air’ Sandstone Basin of western Niger. The concessions are located immediately west of the Cogema operating Uranium mines. These concessions are approx. 2000 sq. k/ms each and cover areas of geological favorable ground. Preliminary approval has been given and final approval of the application is expected by the end of May. Top 10 Uranium Producing Countries Why should someone invest in Uranium now? • • • • • • • China – 40 new nuclear reactors being built and/or in the planning stages by 2015. India – 31 new nuclear reactors being built and/or in the planning stages by 2020. Russia – Building or planning 25 more reactors by 2020. They are cutting back exports by 25% to conserve fuel the plants they will be building. World Demand will out pace supply by 11% in the coming decade. A 15 year period of inventory liquidation has depleted stockpiles. Supply – World production of uranium oxide (U308) concentrate in 2001 rose +9.0% to a 10-year high of 47,395 short tons from 43,475 short tons in 2000. The world’s two largest uranium producers are Canada with 16,270 short tons of production in 2001, representing 34% of world production, and Australia with 10,035 short tons of production in 2001, representing 21% of world production. Smaller producers include Niger (with 8.0% of world production), Namibia (6.1%), and the US (2.8%). Clean Energy. Saskatchewan exported 5.0 million kilograms of uranium to the US. All of this uranium was dedicated to generating electricity (6.5% of the total US electricity production) and avoided approximately 230 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
