About Treasury Metals
Treasury Metals Inc. is a mineral exploration company that is actively developing its 100% owned flagship Goliath Gold Project. The Goliath Gold Project encompasses the Thunder Lake gold deposit that as of December, 2008 has 130,000 indicated ounces of gold (820,000 tonnes at 4.8 g/t Au; Main Zone) and 920,000 inferred ounces of gold (7,000,000 tonnes at 4.1 g/t Au; all zones), using a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au (see NI 43-101 report – "Report on the Goliath Project, Kenora Mining Division, Northwestern Ontario, Canada" dated December 19, 2008 – filed on SEDAR). Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and by definition do not demonstrate economic viability. Drilling of the Thunder Lake gold deposit to date has intersected the Main Zone over a strike length of more than 2,300 metres, with thicknesses of 0.5 to 30 metres (average width of 7.6 metres at 0.5 g/t Au cut-off) and a high-grade core with an average width of 1.9 metres (3.0 g/t Au cut-off). The Thunder Lake gold deposit is open along strike to the west, northeast and at depth. An updated mineral resource estimate is expected as part of the Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Treasury Metals Inc. has royalty revenue from Goldgroup Mining Inc.'s Cerro Colorado Mine in Mexico, along with other monetizable assets. Treasury has a strong shareholder base and its management team and board are seasoned mining industry veterans with proven track records.
