Natural Gas Natural gas production (and revenue of $238,252) was voluntarily cut back due to low spot gas prices ; however, full production has been resumed in the second quarter as one forward contract (through October, 2011) was secured above $5 per Mbtu.

block in the Cedartree Lake area, Sioux Narrows, Ontario. During the summer of 2010 the Company conducted line cutting,
geophysics and extensive stripping operations and seven drill holes for a total of 1,100 meters. Two of the drill holes were drilled on

and cut both massive and disseminated sulphides but with no economic value. The remaining
holes were drilled beneath the overburden (bog) covered projected extension of the felsic intrusive associated with the main Gold discovery. A number of Bulk Leach Extractable Gold assays are still being processed at the assay lab and these results will be assimilated within preparation of a NI 43-101 technical report on the property, although the Company does not consider the Cedartree prospect to be material at this time. Metalore will continue to explore and evaluate the economic potential of this extensive mineral property. Metalore also holds a 1% NSR (Net Smelter Return) in 18 leased claims as well as a 26% joint venture (Premier Gold 74%) in a further 232 leased and staked claims in Irwin and Sandra Townships, Beardmore area, Ontario, upon which a significant National Instrument 43-101 compliant Gold Resources have been identified. In addition the Company holds a similar 21% joint venture interest in 425 claims in the adjacent Walters Leduc and Legault Township as well as a 100% interest in 6 leased claims in the same area which host an historic Molybdenum/Gold occurrence on the north shore of Paint Lake in this area. All claims that are not under lease are secured by assessment work through 2014 and 2015, thus there has been no work required and no work performed during this period.
