Category		Tonnes (000's)	Mo (%)	lbs Mo (000's)	Cu (%)	lbs Cu (000's)
	Proven Reserves	44,736	0.079	78,024	0.053	52,217
	Probable Reserves	101,968	0.076	171,924	0.047	106,614

In 2009 a NI 43-101 compliant Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS"), was issued by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation of Tucson, Arizona ("M3"). Using a base case scenario of $15/lb Mo and $1.75/lb Cu M3 determined that the El Creston molybdenum deposit has an after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") at an 8% discount rate of USD$306.02 million and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 20.2%. Creston is currently conducting an optimization program, which includes drilling, to advance the El Creston molybdenum deposit towards completion of a feasibility study.
