Alberta: The Company holds an option on the George petroleum and natural gas lease located 1.5 km northeast of the town of Fairview, Alberta.

Saskatchewan: Cougar has the exclusive right to explore for coal on 37,280 hectares of land located south of Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, and south of the recent impressive discoveries of thermal coal made by Goldsource Mines Inc.

Manitoba: Cougar's primary exploration focus in 2009 is on its holdings close to San Gold Corporation's Rice Lake Mine located approximately 200 km northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, near the town of Bissett. Cougar has acquired rights on several different land packages that have a history of gold showings and mines, and the Company has plans for an aggressive 2009 summer exploration program followed by diamond drilling.
