ITEM 5: OTHER EVENTS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 12, 1997, La Teko Resources Ltd. (the "Company") announced the
appointment of Mr. Stuart Havenstrite to its board of directors. Mr.
Havenstrite is a certified professional geologist with over 40 years of
experience in mineral and petroleum exploration and development. He is
currently president of HMS Management Services, a geological consulting
service specializing in mineral exploration, project evaluation, and
acquisition. He is the former president and chief operating officer of Alta
Gold Co. and executive vice president and general manager of Silver King
Mines, Inc.
As former project manager of the 300,000 foot drilling program on the
Company's Ryan Lode project during its exploration phase from 1991 to
1995, Mr. Havenstrite brings a wealth of knowledge to the Company during
a time when it is evaluating development options for this gold deposit.
He was also involved as a consultant when the Company acquired the True
North Property and assisted in the Company's exploration efforts at True
North. The Company believes that Mr. Havenstrite's knowledge of the mining
industry will be of significant value as it advances its Alaskan project
portfolio and pursues new acquisition opportunities.
La Teko Resources Ltd. Is a gold exploration company active in the Fairbanks
Mining District of Alaska. The Company holds two projects in the advanced
exploration to development stage, the True North Property under option to
Newmont Exploration Limited, and its 100% owned Ryan Lode project, as well as
