Trench Sampling at Amado Prospect
Mildred Peak, Arizona

March 14, 2003

The Placeritos Gold Area, the most southerly gold zone identified to date on the Company’s Mildred Peak Property, is a sulphide-mineralized and silicified zone over four thousand feet long, which has a number of significant silicified mineralized showings in outcrop. The most northerly showing along this gold trend, the Amado Gold Prospect, has an exposure of intensely silicified and quartz veined rock, over one hundred meters long and at least 10 meters wide. Golden Arch Resources Ltd. recently excavated and sampled a thirty meter trench across the exposed silicified zone on the Amado gold Prospect with results as follows:

30 meters at 1.531 grammes gold per tonne (0.045 oz Au per ton) including 14 meters at 3.074 grammes gold per tonne (0.090 oz Au per ton) Previous sampling in this area included rock chip samples grading up to 0.64 opt Au (21.9 grams per tonne), and a chip channel sample across the zone of 0.093 opt Au (3.2 grams per tonne) over 10 meters. The Amado silicified zone is a prominent topographical feature along a northwest trending ridge. The zone is obscured on both ends by overburden. The Company’s geologist will continue a systematic surface sampling program to determine the extent and grade of the gold mineralization. The recent sampling program on the project described above took place under the direction and supervision of Mr. R. Somerville P.Eng., a Qualified Person under the meaning
