The Company has held its Swift River placer claims for several years, along with placer claims on other well-known creeks and rivers in the Cariboo Mining District. Some of the claims have been rented to other miners in the past for cash rent. With gold prices currently hitting all-time highs of above $3,000 Canadian, the decision was made to have the Company mine some of the claims on its own. Green River may choose to mine some of its other permitted placer claims in the future. The goal is to achieve self-sustaining cash flow from operations which will allow the Company to direct any funds raised in the capital markets directly to exploration activities. The Wabi claim is located along the Swift River and is shown in Figure 2.

Green River is uniquely positioned to mine the placer claims because of its relationship with its privately held affiliate, Gold Rush Supplies Inc. The two companies share space in a fully equipped shop and office building located in Quesnel, approximately 45 minutes from the Swift River placer claims. Gold Rush Supplies Inc. builds placer mining equipment and provides mining supplies from a retail and shop location in the shared facility. The fully equipped shop and yard provides an excellent location from which to stage the mining operation and to handle all related administration and management functions. The Company's Qualified Person, Stephen P. Kocsis (P.Geo) has decades of experience in placer gold mining and has personally designed and operated placer mining operations.

The placer mining operation will be run by a team dedicated to that operation. It will augment, not distract from the Company's priority, which is exploration of its mineral properties, particularly drilling and trenching at the Quesnel Nickel project.

Perry Little, Green River's President and CEO comments, "With gold prices at current levels, we see the possibility of creating significant cash flow from our placer mining assets. It is our goal to create sufficient revenue from operations to eventually cover at least our annual operating costs so that any money we raise in the capital markets goes directly to exploration or acquisitions. Our primary focus remains the Quesnel Nickel Project and our other mineral properties. In the meantime, any mining activity that produces cash flow for the Company benefits all our shareholders."
