The Aspen property was discovered in 1896. Small scale production of high grade silver ore commenced in 1899 and continued intermittently until 1950. Over its 50-year life the mine produced 47,556 tonnes averaging 653.13 g/t silver, 4.76% lead and 0.02% zinc from 1,443 metres of underground workings.

The Aspen occurrence is believed to be a manto-type deposit hosted by the Reeves Limestone Member of the Lower Cambrian Laib Formation which is also host to the nearby Jersey, HB, Garnet and Reeves MacDonald lead-zinc mines. Three distinct stratabound, ore-bearing breccia horizons are recognized as follows: 1) the Upper Zinc horizon, 2) the Middle Silver horizon and 3) the Lower Lead-Zinc-Silver horizon. The zones have a general north-northwest trend and dip about 40 to 50 degrees northeast. The principal unit is the Middle Silver horizon which varies from 1 to 8 metres in thickness and has been traced for about 1,100 metres on surface.

Since closure of the mine in 1950 the deposit has been explored with 4,539 metres of surface and underground diamond drilling in 103 holes. This work showed a drill indicated resource of 36,280 tonnes at 3.16% zinc in the Upper Zinc Horizon and a measured and indicated resource of 61,289 tonnes at 234.8g/t silver in the Middle Silver horizon. (BC Geological Survey, Minfile, Detail Production Report Number 082FNW121).

Readers are cautioned that the resources quoted in this release are historical in nature and were compiled before the implementation of NI 43-101 Standards for Disclosure of Mineral Projects. Sultan plans to explore for extensions to the reported mineralization with geochemical and geophysical surveys.

Mr. Perry Grunenberg, P.Geo., of PBG Geoscience of Kamloops, B.C., is Sultan's project supervisor and "Qualified Person" for the purpose of NI 43-101, "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects".
