(TSX:COL) - Shares Outstanding: 92,956,427

Material from Open Pit Added to Leach Pad - Freshly-crushed material on the leach pad currently amounts to approximately 70,000 tonnes, 25,000 tonnes from the Open Pit, 8,000 from the El Pozo prospect, and 37,000 tonnes from the heap proper. Ore continues to be added to the heap from El Pozo. No further tonnage is planned to be trucked from the Open Pit at this time.

Crusher Operations - A large rock fell from the crusher feed hopper on May 23, and landed on one of the travel wheels, breaking the leaf springs on both sides and necessitating the detachment of the entire wheel assembly. Down time was minimal, the spring package will be replaced shortly.

Accessing More Mineable Material - About 15,000 mineable tonnes is estimated to remain at El Pozo to be transported to the crusher. There are about 2,000 tonnes uncrushed on the ground at the crusher. A second lot of samples was delivered to Jacobs' Assay Lab in Tucson on Monday morning, June 2. Read more »

Lori McClenahan, President of St. Elias Mines Ltd. (the "Company" or "St. Elias"), is pleased to provide the following update with respect to recent bulk sampling and ongoing underground exploration and development at the Tesoro Gold Project (the "Property") located in southwestern Peru. In the most recent bulk sample, a total of 81.4 tonnes of material from the A4 Vein and the C1 Vein returned a weighted average grade of 0.76 oz/t gold. Total underground development on the A4 and C1 Veins completed by the Company to date is approximatley 1,000m (3,280 feet).

Of the 81.4 tonnes of bulk sample material, 66.5 tonnes were extracted from the A4 Vein from a newly discovered mineralized pod near the extraction shaft at depths of 42 to 56 meters below surface. This included a medium-grade lot of 50.2 tonnes grading 0.554 oz/t gold and a high-grade lot of 16.3 tonnes grading 1.25 oz/t gold containing common coarse-grained gold. The Company continues to pursue this pod to determine if it extends any deeper. Total underground development on the A4 Vein includes 122 meters of level drifting and 158 meters of shaft-sinking and raising. Read more »

(Vancouver, BC. May 14, 2008) Ucore Uranium Inc. (TSX-V: UCU) is pleased to provide an update on its 2008 exploration activities at the Bokan Mountain uranium exploration project in southeast Alaska.

Following the receipt of drill permits from the US Forest Service, exploration crews have been mobilized to Bokan Mountain. A floating barge camp for crew accommodations is being set up, with a capacity of 30 personnel. Fuel storage facilities are being installed, and drill pads are being constructed at the I&L zone. Two drills will be moved from Ketchikan to Bokan Mountain later this week by barge.

The exploration work continues to be completed through Ucore’s wholly owned US subsidiary, Landmark Alaska Limited Partnership. The 2008 exploration program is being managed by Aurora Geosciences (Alaska) Ltd. of Juneau, Alaska, under the supervision of Ucore’s senior geological staff. The goals of the work are to (1) verify uranium and REE reported from 2007 and earlier drilling, (2) test Ucore’s geological model for the style of mineralization, (3) explore previously untested portions of the I&L zone, and (4) determine if the I&L zone mineralization persists to depth and/or along strike, especially to the southeast where radiometric data suggest high radioactivity levels for a strike length of 3 km. Read more »

Toronto, Ontario – Linear Metals Corporation (TSX: LRM) is pleased to report a new discovery on the Northwest Skarn target, located 600 metres west of the Main Zone, at its Cobre Grande Project, in Oaxaca, Mexico. The recently announced 49.8 million tonne resource estimate from the Cobre Grande Project did not include any mineralization from the Northwest Skarn, which now represents a priority target for significant expansion of the Cobre Grande Project’s initial resource. The second hole, in this previously undrilled target, has produced the following discovery intercept and highlights the excellent exploration potential remaining to be tested at Cobre Grande:

• CG-68: 228 metres of 0.91% copper equivalent starting at 29 metres.

Linear is also pleased to announce that it has received assays from the bottom of hole CG-60 which include:

• CG-60: 72 metres of 0.073% molybdenum

Added to the previously reported intercept of the hole the new assays document the longest molybdenum-rich intercept to date on the property of 332 metres of 0.058% molybdenum starting at 4 metres depth.

Details of the drill-hole CG-68 discovery intercept are provided in the table below. A drill hole location map is available on the Company’s website at www.linearmetals.com. Read more »
