About Typhoon:

The metallogenic context of the Fayolle project is favourable to the existence of porphyry-type gold mineralization. The mineralized zones on the Fayolle Deposit are distributed along a major shear corridor of approximately 2.5 km long by 1 km wide, all while remaining open at depth. Typhoon estimates that any future mine developments at Fayolle would be at a moderate cost due to its strategical location.

A drilling campaign of approximately 15,000 meters is in planning phase and will begin in July 2010.

Typhoon target Quebec's excellent mineral potential and favourable investment climate for the development of new world-class gold deposits. Typhoon is proud to count on reputable partners such as Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd and Aurizon Mines Ltd. Their support, as well as that of its 2197 investors (which hold the 14,105,876 shares including this placement), contributes greatly to the success of the company.
