The budget for 2009 exploration is $920,000. This is primarily planned for Beaufield's three 100% owned gold properties namely Urban, Opinaca and Hemlo. Beaufield has held preliminary discussions with parties interested in participating with Beaufield on some of its gold properties on an option basis.

Beaufield is well positioned financially to undertake exploration and to study new opportunities. Management emphasizes prudent management of its cash resources. With gold being the primary focus, management has decided to replace approximately 15% of its treasury bill investments with an investment in one ounce gold maple leaf coins which are legal tender. One million Canadian dollars has been invested in the purchase of 839 maple leaf coins. Management is of the opinion that an asset allocation based on Treasury Bills and gold coins will be most effective in enhancing the company's ability to undertake continuing mineral exploration and development. Beaufield will consider adding to the gold position for investment purposes.
