The Dragoon porphyry
copper prospect is located in southern Arizona approximately 60 miles
east-south-east of Tucson. The slag was produced as smelter rejects from
processing copper ores, principally from Jerome, during the period 1915-1952,
when the Clarkdale smelter was one of the largest copper smelters in the
world.S.

Upon completing the initial earn-in, BHP Billiton may elect
to earn an additional 9% interest for a total of 60% by expending a
further US$1,000,000 for a total expenditure of US$4,000,000. Geologically speaking, the leached cap is

Clarkdale Project History

The Clarkdale Project contains the old smelter site and the ~30 million
ton slag pile of which 20 million tons are available for processing under the
current Joint Venture Agreement. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of
numerous risks and uncertainties (see company's results files with the SEC).

GMC has completed initial exploration on
the property which indicates that many of the characteristics of a
porphyry copper system are present and through geophysics, geology and
geochemistry has developed target concepts. The target mineralization is copper, silver and gold.
Four of these properties are now under option to other mining
