KAPA GOLD PROVIDES UPDATE ON BLACKHAWK PERMITTING

Kapa Gold Inc. has received permission from San Bernardino National Forest District (SBNFD) to proceed with the proposed rehabilitation of access roads leading to its patented claims containing the historic Blackhawk mine near Lucerne Valley, San Bernardino county, California, United States.

Having reviewed the company's plan of operation to access its mining operations and existing adits, SBNFD has granted the work authorization based on the condition that there will be no significant ground disturbance from the proposed activity. This road rehabilitation will allow Kapa to enter the historic workings of its patented, past-producing, high-grade gold mine and to conduct underground surveys and initiate underground exploration.

Kapa intends to immediately undertake road and access rehabilitation, and as previously reported, engaged an experienced local San Bernadino contrator, Lilburn Corp., to assist with the road work and adit clearance at the Blackhawk mine. The contractor is expected to commence activity on the roadways promptly. Following the completion of the proposed work Kapa will commence an underground mine inspection by a California-certified underground mining engineer in regard to the safety in initiating underground exploration.

The patented claims are issued by the federal government and gives the owner exclusive title to the locatable minerals and title to the surface and other resources. A patented claim can be used for any purpose desired by the owner, just like any other real estate. The Blackhawk property patented lode and mill site claims were patented by the United States federal government in 1924. The BLM mineral claims are accessible under the provisions of the Mining Law of 1872, subject to the approval from the U.S. Forest Service and/or Bureau of Land Management. Ownership of the claims gives the right, subject to federal, state and local permits and approvals, to explore for and develop mineral resources. Blackhawk mineral claims are located on both BLM and U.S. Forest Service lands.

The Blackhawk mine property contains patented lode claims with historic underground operations which will allow for expedited underground exploration drilling with no surface disturbances, without additional permitting requirements. Kapa will also be undertaking a ground Mag-VLF-EM geophysical survey over all its surface mineral showings to confirm continuity along strike.
