TECHNICAL REPORT FILED ON SILVER COIN PROJECT, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Vancouver, BC - Pinnacle Mines Ltd. has completed and filed a technical report pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 on the Silver Coin Project in Northwest British Columbia. The independent study, written by Alojzy A. Walus, M.Sc., P. Geo., concluded that Silver Coin features a zone of faulting and shearing, with accompanying poly-metallic mineralization, that is up to 300 metres wide and has been traced for a minimum of 1.6 kilometres. Numerous gold-silver-base metal bearing breccias, stockworks and veins have been identified through trenching, drilling and underground development. The report further concludes that the Silver Coin property shares many characteristics with the nearby Silbak-Premier mine which produced 4.7 million tons that yielded approximately 1.8 million ounces gold, 41 million ounces silver, 4.2 million pounds copper, 62 million pounds lead and 20 million pounds zinc.
The complete report is available for review as filed on January 28, 2005 on SEDAR (http://www.sedar.com).
