About Treasury Metals

Treasury Metals is a mineral exploration and development company with a
growth-orientated strategy focused on the acquisition and development of
precious and base metals assets in Canada. Treasury Metals' activities are
currently focused on two exploration projects: the Goliath Project, an advanced
stage, high-grade gold deposit near Dryden, Ontario; and the Lara Polymetallic
Project, an advanced stage, high-grade base and precious metal project on
Vancouver Island, British Columbia. In addition to these projects, Treasury
Metals holds rights to receive a net smelter royalty in connection with the
Sierra Minerals Cerro Colorado mine located in Mexico and various investments
acquired from Laramide.


About Laramide

Laramide Resources is engaged in the exploration and development of high quality
uranium assets. Its wholly owned uranium assets are in Australia and the United
States. Laramide's portfolio of advanced uranium projects have been chosen for
their production potential. Its flagship project is Westmoreland, in Queensland,
Australia, one of the largest projects currently held by a junior mining
company. Its U.S. assets include La Jara Mesa in Grants, New Mexico and La Sal
in the Lisbon Valley district of Utah. Its portfolio also includes joint
venture, strategic equity positions and royalty participation in uranium
development and exploration companies that provide additional geographic
diversification and uranium exposure for shareholders.


The reorganization and spin-off of certain of Laramide's non-uranium assets to
Treasury Metals is designed to improve the identification and valuation of
specific Laramide properties, to enhance Laramide's ability to divest specific
properties through simpler corporate ownership, to enter into strategic joint
venture agreements, and to enable Laramide to separately finance and develop its
various assets, selectively reducing stock dilution.
