The Company is engaged in the evaluation and development of several gold properties collectively known as the "Ladner Gold Project". These properties are located in southwestern British Columbia, Canada and encompass the Carolin Mine, a former underground gold producer from 1982 - 1984, the Emancipation Mine (an intermittent small gold producer from 1916 - 1941), the Pipestem Mine (intermittent small gold producer from 1935 - 1937), and numerous other gold prospects situated along 18 kilometers of the under-explored Coquihalla Gold Belt.

"New Carolin has been working towards the consolidation of this significant gold district for a number of years and believes the property will one day yield a new major mining camp. Completing on this new agreement will give the Company 100% control of this exciting northwest trending gold belt, where five previous small mines operated over the past 100 years. The property not only has extensive infrastructure including proximity to rail, roads, power, ports, and manpower, but contains numerous gold showings along the 30 kilometer strike length with minimal historical exploration." commented Robert L. Thast, President and CEO of New Carolin. "We look to push forward on a near-term exploration and development program on the Ladner Gold Project, and to secure a strategic partner to further advance the project and hopefully bring it closer to a production scenario again."

Full terms of the new agreement and strategic direction of the Company will be announced following receipt of the approval and vesting order from the Quebec Superior Court and having been filed on Sedar.
