Dear Shareholder:
For lack of sufficient number of shareholder votes, the January 14, 2000 Special
Meeting of Shareholders was adjourned and rescheduled for 3:00 p.m. on February
10, 2000, to be held at the Company's corporate office.
The Company needs your vote for the alternate capital restructuring as discussed
in the proxy that was mailed on December 2, 1999. This is an important vote for
all shareholders as it effects the Company's listing on the American Stock
Exchange.
I AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND A VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL.
Very truly yours,
CANYON RESOURCES CORPORATION
