    consecutive days, MGL will issue to Cadan a further 2,600,000 shares;
    and

--  subject to certain conditions being met within 24 months of closing of

    months) MGL will pay a further AUD$1,000,000 to Cadan.

    further 5,200,000 shares to Cadan.

Robert Butchart, President and CEO of Cadan stated "MGL together with its financiers is a group with the demonstrated capability of raising the significant funds that are required to properly explore and develop both the porphyry copper and the gold stock work assets at Compostela Valley. This represents an excellent opportunity for Cadan to retain a substantial interest in the project without having to contribute funding until the project is significantly advanced. Cadan will be able to focus its resources and efforts to the advancement of Cadan's core asset, being the T'Boli gold-silver project and mine."

Mr. Andrew Maurice, Managing Director of Mining Group, stated that "the proposed acquisition represents an exciting phase in the Mining Group's growth and is consistent with the company's objective of acquiring commercially significant mineral properties that can readily be brought into production. The Comval Project's tenement area covers 4310 hectares, and has had over 24,000 metres of drilling completed, which we intend to review and reinterpret with the aim of defining a resource."

The transactions are subject to various conditions precedent, including MGL obtaining shareholder approval and regulatory approval, and in the case of Cadan the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

On behalf of the board of directors,

Robert Butchart, President / CEO
