China Properties

Silu

Trade Winds has entered into a joint venture with Guangxi Zhongjin Mining Co., Ltd. (“Zhongjin”) of Nanning, Guangxi, whereby Trade Winds has the right to earn a 60% interest in a newly formed Chinese-foreign co-operative limited company in the People’s Republic of China. Zhongjin holds full exploration permits to certain Zinc-Lead properties in the Silu area of Wuxuan County in Guangxi province and for their 40% interest, the rights shall be assigned to and be held fully by the joint venture company.

For it’s 60% interest in and operatorship in the joint venture company, known as Guangxi Silu Mining Corp., Trade Winds must invest a total of $20,000,000 RMB (approximately CDN $1,500,000), Zhongjin must invest a total of $3,330,000 RMB (approximately CDN $500,000) in two tranches within the first year. Trade Winds Ventures has established an office in Taian Building in Nanning to carry out mineral exploration and development of Zinc-Lead and associated metals at Silu.

The Silu project is situated within the Western Dayaoshan multi-metal metallogenic belt in central-eastern Guangxi province. The co-operative area for which permits have been granted covers an area of 26.39 km². An extensive amount of geological exploration work has been conducted on this belt and abundant information has been obtained, resulting in significant base metal discoveries with numerous mining operations along the belt. Zhongjin operates the Panlong Zinc-Lead Mine, one of such mining operations and it’s associated 1,000 tonne per day mill is located approximately six kilometers northeast of the Silu property.

According to Zhongjin, the Panlong property has an estimated historic resource containing 930,000 tons of contained metal in a ratio of three parts Zinc to one part Lead.

Beside many other discoveries of Zinc-Lead showings and numerous operating mines along the belt, a large-scale sedimentary structure with dolomatic limestone is located on the Silu property, a southwest extension of the Panlong structure. According to the geological information and geophysical and geochemical surveys, the structure has a strike-length of over three kilometers and a width of over 500 meters. This zone, as defined by geophysical surveys, runs parallel to a zone partially mined by local miners, who mined the surface Zinc oxides by open pit methods. They then reportedly sank a shaft to approximately 35 meters below surface and drifted along the high grade structure they were mining. Due to the unsafe mining practices of the local miners, the government blasted and closed the shaft and shut down operations some six years ago. Trade Winds plans to undertake a program of exploration, including diamond drilling and sinking a decline to the new zone, then drifting along the new zone to put in a series of cross cuts through the mineralized zone, in early 2008.

Tuole

Trade Winds Ventures Inc. has entered into a Contract for Co-operative Operation for the exploration and development of a gold property in the Tuole Area, Xinyuan County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China.

Trade Winds has entered into a joint venture with Xinjiang Dadi Mining Technology & Development Corp.(“Dadi”), of Urumqi, Xinjiang, whereby Trade Winds shall earn an 80% interest in a newly formed Chinese-foreign co-operative limited liability company according to stipulations of the Chinese-foreign Co-operative Enterprise Law of the People’s Republic of China. Dadi holds full exploration permits to certain gold properties in the Tuole Area of Xinyaun County in Xinjiang province, and for their 20% interest, the rights shall be assigned to and held fully by the co-operative joint venture company.

For its 80% interest in and operatorship of the in the joint venture company, known as Xinjiang Entercor Mining Corp., Trade Winds shall invest a total of US $1,700,000 and pay Dadi a total of US$300,000 in tranches over a period of two years. Trade Winds has established an office in the district of High & New Technology Development of Urumqi to carry out mineral exploration and development of gold, copper and associated metals.

Under the People’s Republic of China’s policy of Developing Western China, this Co-operative Project is to develop, at a large scale, mineable gold mineral resources and its associated metals by using Dadi’s exploration findings and vast technical support and together with Trade Winds’ investment, advanced exploration expertise and management.

Dadi has total of over 35 geological and technical support staff, including 14 senior engineers, 18 engineers, 2 economists, together with administrative and accounting personnel. The Co-operative Project has received approval by the Foreign Economic and Trade Department of Xinjiang, as its purpose is to make contributions to the development of economics of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region by converting its mineral resources potentially into bankable resources.

The Tuole project area is situated within the Yisijilike Au-Cu metallurgic belt, western Tianshan. Dadi has conducted an extensive amount of geological exploration work on this belt and gained abundant information with significant mineral findings.

Beside many other discoveries of Au-Cu showings along the belt, a large-scale volcanogenic alteration zone, Anomaly #2, was located utilizing geochemical analysis. The alteration zone has a strike length of over 2 km and a width of about 100 metres. In addition, four other similar anomalies occur along the belt, indicative of high mineral potentials. The co-operative area for which permits have been granted covers an area of 109.79 km².

British Columbia Properties

Dardanelles

Trade Winds acquired a 100% interest in their wholly owned Dardanelles gold property comprising 8 claims, with an area of mutual interest to cover contiguous claims and any other claims within a one kilometre radius, which are located approximately 22 km east of Terrace, B.C. on the north side of the Copper (Zymoetz) River, Omenica Mining Division, B.C.

The 2005 exploration program indicated that there are possibly three aplite dykes each with quartz veins alongside them. Further trenching with an excavator in 2008 will be necessary for the final confirmation of this sequence. An excavator was used to prepare three diamond drill set ups which tested the southerly aplite dyke/vein system with one diamond drill hole, the main aplite dyke/vein system with the second diamond drill hole, and further east near the old shaft three diamond drill holes were drilled successively deeper to test the depth extension to near the adit level 165 metres deep. The excavator was used to clear the outcrop trace of the main dyke/vein system for mapping and sampling. The dyke/vein system was found by prospecting to extend another 1000 metres further along strike. A report on this work is pending.

Treasure Mountain

The 100% owned Treasure Mountain property is located approximately 30 km by road due east of Terrace, B.C. The property hosts a copper mineralized belt of over 6 kilometres strike length. New areas of copper mineralization were identified in the northern section in 2006 which will be included in the 2007 drilling and blasting program. Exploration will concentrate on exposing mineralization between the known showings to display the continuity of this long belt.

Historical grades are reported from several showings ranging from trace to over 10% copper with associated gold and silver values (non NI 43-101 compliant data). Exploration on this property is currently underway, and assay results from sampling will be available this fall. Access and location to nearby infrastructure make this a highly promising project. The Company is in the process of acquiring adjacent claims to the north to extend the potential strike length of the mineralization.

The old access road from the Copper River was cleaned up to provide vehicle access to the copper showings drilled in 1966. Two diamond drill holes successfully encountered the mineralized structure, but were off the main ore zone. The mineralization in the two holes was small points or patches of chalcocite. Little or no pyrite and chalcopyrite was noted. Assay results were around one tenth of a percent copper. Prospecting showed that all the known copper mineralized zones are along the redox change from reducing state basic marine volcanics to the oxidized semi marine terrestrial red bed volcanics and associated volcano-sediments. This zone extends 5 Km along the property and has been explored further in 2007. Mr. Alex Burton, P. Eng., P. Geo. is the qualified person responsible for the Trade Winds’ exploration program on the Dardanelles and Treasure Mountain properties.
