New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.1% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shares are highly illiquid. High level of non-cash earnings (47% accrual ratio). Revenue is less than US$1m (CA$233k revenue, or US$172k). Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$7.63m market cap, or US$5.62m).

Val-D'or Mining Corporation Commences Ground-Geophysical Program on the Riviere Lois Prospect Val-d'Or Mining Corporation has commissioned a 12-kilometre Surface InfiniTEM XL (TDEM) survey over the Riviere Lois property. The 100%-owned property is located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt and is prospective for base-metals (copper, zinc and silver) volcanogenic massive sulphide-hosted deposits. The Company has allocated a total budget of approximately $75,000 for this program, which is scheduled to start during the coming week. The program will include the rehabilitation of the grid, the geophysical survey, and a follow-up data compilation with the preparation of a 3D geological model. The program is intended to follow-up on anomalous copper and zinc values intersected by drilling during a previous program completed by Golden Valley Mines Ltd. The drill hole tested a 3-4 channel MEGATEM II anomaly with an offsetting moderate induced polarization (IP) anomaly. Property Background: The Riviere Lois Prospect is located in northwestern Québec between the villages of Taschereau and Poularies. A number of researchers (Gibson, 1990, Lichtblau, 1989, Mortensen, 1993 & Mueller, 2001) have described the Central Noranda caldera (14.6 Moz gold, 2.2 Mt copper & 1.3 Mt zinc) to the south as being strikingly similar to the HMG complex, which formed over a 6-million-year time span (2703- 2697Ma). It has a comparable stratigraphic thickness, and displays similar volcanic lithofacies and synvolcanic structures. Historically the largest concentration of base-metal mineralization discovered an exploited in the HMG complex are the Hunter Mine and Lyndhurst Mine to the west and east along strike respectively of the company's property. The Hunter Mine reported production of 117,000 tonnes grading 0.99% Cu in 1957 and reserves of 127,000 t grading 1.06% Cu and 82,000 t of probable ore at 1.06% Cu in 1973. The Lyndhurst Mine reported production of 156,362 t grading 1.93% Cu and 12.72 g/t Ag in 1957. Current reserves have been stated as 125,000 t at 1.75% Cu (source: SIGEOM - Metallic deposit Descriptions. Historical reserves are non-compliant with National Instrument (NI 43-101).

This wide NW-SE trending corridor is characterized by strongly banded schist and quartz veins. Rivière Lois Cu-Zn-Ag Prospect: Val-d'Or Mining is currently planning a Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey on its Rivière Lois Cu-Zn-Ag Prospect. The program is intended to follow-up on anomalous copper and zinc values intersected by drilling during a program completed by Golden Valley Mines in 2004.

Assay results from the second and final batch of thirty-three (33) rock grab samples are further described below. The results of this program have confirmed the Company's model of an intrusive-hosted, bulk tonnage gold deposit. Observations indicate that a series of cross-cutting, structurally controlled high-grade zones are surrounded by a halo of lower grade mineralized host rock (granodiorite) material. The granodiorite host rock has been documented to be approximately 100-150 metres wide and extends over a distance of more than 2,000 metres. Gold-bearing rock samples have now been encountered at exposed sections from the north-western end (NW showing, see results further below) all the way along to the south-eastern end. The highest-grade sample (sample 369310, grading 54.8 g/t gold) was collected at the Oregon showing, which is located about 400 metres north-west of the south-eastern end of the granodiorite host rock. Furthermore, the results indicate that anomalous mineralization occurs along a series of E-W shear zones that transect (splays - conjugate faulting) the predominate NW-SE regional deformation. These splay faults have been demonstrated to be favourable for their potential to host economic gold deposits in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. A follow-up program of selective overburden stripping, bedrock cleaning and detailed geological /structural mapping is planned over the known mineralized gold showings and other prospective geological targets, as the Company prepares for its upcoming maiden drill campaign on the property. Oregon Gold Showing: Selective Historic Pit and Trench Sampling Results. A preliminary geological /structural mapping and selective sampling program to characterize the nature and control of the gold mineralization at the Oregon Showing was completed. A total of 11 rock grab samples were collected along a series of historic pits and trenches exposed in outcrop over an area 30-35 metres east-west by1-5 metres north-south. Mineralization occurs within fracture zones that host a series of parallel quartz stringers mineralized with coarse-grained cubic pyrite. The granodiorite hostrock is variably bleached with occasional hematite, limonite, and chlorite alteration and rusty zones, hosting disseminated pyrite. Visible gold (VG) was observed in a number of samples submitted for analysis. The assay results and sample descriptions from 11 selective rock grab samples from the historical trenches are as follows: //st Sample Easting Northing Rock Description Site Py Au No. (+/-6m) (+/- 6m) Description ppm X369301 301961 5371740 Rusty/bleached Pit 1 7-10% 1.72.
