whereby Alliance can acquire a 51% interest in the Shaver

To earn a 51% interest in the Shaver Lake

500,000 common shares and complete $500,000 in exploration
expenditures over three years. Exploration expenditures of

19% interest in consideration of Alliance issuing to BEA/IMT
an additional 300,000 common shares or, at Alliance’s
option, paying BEA/IMT a cash equivalent or combination of
cash payment and the issuance of shares or incurring a further
$1,500,000 in exploration expenditures by September 30, 2011.
Upon Alliance having exercised the first option, a joint venture
agreement will be formed between Alliance and Belmont/Montoro

in their respective interests. Alliance will be the Operator.
SHAVER LAKE PROPERTY
The Shaver Lake property was explored by BEA/IMT at costs
of $31,000 in 2004 and $135,000 in 2006. In 2004 BEA/IMT completed
line cutting and a combined VLF and magnetic ground geophysical
survey. In 2006 a 930 metre, 6-hole diamond drilling program
was completed on a portion of the property to test a number
of interpreted structures. The drilling program intersected
zones of sulphide mineralization and quartz veining contained
within altered mafic volcanic and intermediate to felsic intrusive
rocks. The quartz veining was mineralized with pyrite, pyrrhotite
and magnetite. A wide zone of weakly disseminated sulphide
and magnetite mineralization was intersected in hole BSL-6
that did not return significant gold values. Hole BSL-1 intersected
a narrow section of semi massive sulphides, returning an assay
of 0.48% copper with elevated quantities of nickel, platinum
and palladium.
The geophysical survey had identified several more significant
magnetic high and conductive anomalies in the southern and
northern portion of the property. These anomalies
v represent additional drilling targets.
This news release was reviewed and approved for technical
disclosure by Raymond A. Bernatchez, P.Eng., Consulting Geologist
of Atikokan, Ontario, an independent qualified person.
The Shaver Lake option is subject to Alliance completing
its up to $2,422,000 private placement announced January 26,
2007 comprised of 28,000,000 units to be issued at a price
of $0.0865 per unit, and receiving TSX Venture Exchange confirmation
that it will be accepted for graduation from NEX to Tier 2
of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The option agreement is subject to acceptance for filing
by the TSX Venture Exchange.
