VIANEY MINE SILVER PROJECT, MEXICO

AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING A PROVEN SILVER/LEAD/ZINC MINE BACK INTO OPERATION.

Journey acquired 100% ownership Vianey property from Minerales Jazz S.A. in 2005. The Vianey property is comprised of two blocks totaling 5,022 hectares (approximately 12,400 acres) and has a silver-lead-zinc mineralization production history. The concession is located in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, 250 kilometres south of Mexico City and 160 kilometres north of Acapulco. Less than 2 kilometres away is the town of Atzcala, with water, telephone and medical facilities, as well as a sufficient labor pool. There is existing electrical power at the mine and a major power line passes near the property.

Journey entered into a joint venture agreement with Wits Basin Precious Minerals Inc. (“Wits Basin”) to form a 50% joint venture , Wits Basin has earned their interest in the joint venture. Journey will be the operator of the joint venture.


LOCATION

Geological maps published by the Mexican Department of Mines identify a series of lead-zinc-gold occurrences approximately five kilometres northwest of the property. The new concessions were staked to cover the projected extension of these known ore bodies. A recently completed technical report by Blakestad, 2005, confirms the potential that these known mineralized zones likely extend into the vicinity of the Vianey Mine.

On-site examinations and available exploration data indicate a probability of discovering extensions to known silver-bearing veins on the property, both in the existing mine and the adjacent areas identified in the Blakestad study.

EXPLORATION RESULTS TO DATE

A review of past calculations of potentially mineable tonnages of mineralization, including the most recent exploration activities completed in 1997, by Hawley, P.J., 2000b, provides a total in all categories of 345,020 metric tonnes grading 2.13% lead, 3.66% zinc and 269 grams of silver per tonne.

Mineralization at the Vianey Mine includes veins, breccias, lens and mantos of silver as well as poly-metallic (Pb-Zn) mineralization with local concentrations of gold and copper. Most of the veins are localized along NW-SE trending structures and E-W structures; the lenses occur in fault zones and as sulfide concentrations with calcite, gypsum and quartz between some bedding planes. Two major breccia zones of significance have been identified in the limestone which are associated with calcite-gypsum-quartz gangue minerals and important amounts of associated silver.

Recommendations in the Minerale Jazz March 2005 report, which are being followed up, include lithological and structural mapping and aerial photography, or high-resolution satellite imagery interpretation of the area. The object of the work will be to locate and orient approximately 3,230 metres of angle-hole diamond core drilling to test the grade, thickness and continuity of mineralization at depth and along the strike.
Diamond core drilling and associated surface and underground exploration was conducted at the Vianey Mine during 2006 and early 2007. A total of 2,042 metres of core drilling was accomplished in 12 drill holes. Drilling intercepted new zones of mineralization in the rock southwest of the Vianey vein, which were not previously known. Underground sampling returned good grade values for the Vianey vein and the objective of the testing is to expand the resource of the Vianey vein.

The design and overall management of the 2006 program was provided by geologist Rodney A. Blakestad, the Qualified Person on the Vianey Project.

The recommended 2007 work program will be managed by the Company's geologist Phil van Angeren, the Qualified Person on the Vianey Project, and will include drilling 5 holes, 220 meters each, with an inclination of -40 degrees from the 2006 drill sites, drilling from underground site, surface drilling, continuation of surface and underground mapping and sampling. In addition, permitting for surface disturbance operations are to be completed, and negotiations are to be commenced to secure expanded rights for exploration and land use in the region surrounding the Vianey concession. The drill portion of the 2007 work program has now been re-scheduled to commence in early 2008, and the focus of the drill program will be underground drilling from the -75 metre level.

Journey’s priority, as the operator on the project, remains to be the preparation of a 43-101 compliant report for the purposes of justifying commercial development of the Vianey Mine based on historic and recent drilling.
