Under separate agreements completed May 26, 2010, Strategic granted Teslin River Resources Corp.

The Kenny Dam property consists of five claim blocks and covers an area of approximately 2,100 hectares. The earn-in terms under both agreements are the same.

To exercise the stage one option and acquire a 50% interest in each of the Tagai and the Kenny Dam properties, Teslin is required to pay Strategic $400,000 and incur exploration expenditures of $3,000,000 by January 31, 2013. To exercise the stage two option and acquire an additional 25% interest in either property, Teslin is required to pay Strategic an additional $1,000,000 on or before March 31, 2013. Teslin may elect to pay half of the second stage option payment through the issuance of Teslin shares.

Both of the Tagai and Kenny Dam properties are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty held by an arm's length third party. One-half of the royalty interest in each property can be purchased at any time for $1,000,000.
