(b) Triton, Ontario
The Company has a 50% interest in certain mineral claims located in MacMurchy
Township of the Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario. A third party has agreed
to maintain the good standing of the mineral claims. During the year ended

property.
(c) Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
The Company has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest,
subject to a 5% net profit royalty, in certain mineral claims in the Prince
Albert Mining District, Saskatchewan. To maintain its interest in the agreement,
the Company is required to pay $2,000 annually for ten years to July 2003. The
remaining balance of $55,788 represents the Company's interest in the option in
the Prince Albert Mining District.
The Company had a 100% interest in certain mineral exploration permits issued by
Saskatchewan Energy and Mines in the Southern Mining district of Saskatchewan.
During 1997, the Company allowed the permits to lapse and wrote off the
investment in those permits.
(d) Mina Mario Project-Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Pursuant to an option agreement dated October 23, 1995, and amended February 27,
1996, between the Company and Minera Oceanica, S.A., the Company acquired an
option for the mineral and surface rights on Concession 6622 situated in the

Costa Rica, subject to a 10% royalty in favor of Minera Oceanica, S.A. on

resource properties.

the Bri Bri Indian Reservation situated in the Province of Limon, County of
Talamance, District of Bratsi. There has been a moratorium placed on any mining
activity by the Asamblea Legislativa de Costa Rica. During the year the permit
was withdrawn from the optionor by the Costa Rican authorities. Therefore, the
Company has written down its interest in this property.

4. LOAN PAYABLE TO PREMANCO INDUSTRIES LTD.
Premanco Industries Ltd. ("Premanco"), an unrelated party, brought an action
against the Company and others in the Supreme Court of British Columbia claiming
the Company and others logged or caused to be logged without the permission of
Premanco approx. 20,000 cubic meters or more of timber from certain properties.
The claim has been defended by the Company and they have stated that if any
logging was done, any liability for these actions must rest with the Company's
solicitor who acted on the Company's behalf in connection with an application to
the Nelson land title office to release Premanco's timber rights.
The lawsuit was settled during 1998. The Company is liable for unjust enrichment
of $450,000. Premanco has accepted as settlement a promissory note for $450,000
secured by a mortgage on the H.B. Mill property and a security agreement over
all equipment and chattels, with interest at prime plus 2%, due September 30,
1999. Premanco shall have no right to enforce any judgement obtained against the
Company under this promissory note against any assets or properties of the
Company other than those specified in the settlement agreement made between
Premanco and the Company.

SCHEDULE "C"
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDING APRIL 30, 1999
June 30, 1999
The Directors of Nu-Dawn Resources Inc. report on the Company's affairs for the
second quarter of 1999.
The Company has put its Costa Rican projects on the shelf until market
conditions improve. The weak world metal markets have resulted in the drying up
of speculative funding for grass roots mineral exploration projects. Recently,
the gold bullion price has traded as low as $258US per ounce.
However, one of the metals that is showing strength in the market is zinc. Last
quarter your directors told you about a new technology that recovers zinc and
lead from oxide ores. Nu-Dawn's Salmo property in British Columbia has several
zones of zinc/lead oxide ore. One of these zones, which is accessible from the
underground workings, has 100,000 tons of proven ore and 100,000 tons of
probable ore, grading 12% zinc and 4% lead.
Investigation of the viability of processing the zinc oxides on the Company's
H.B. property continues. Now that the snow is off the ground in that area, a
thorough review can be made of this project. Lakefield Research is presently
conducting metallurgical tests on zinc oxide ore (12% zn) obtained from the
underground workings. The results of these tests will dictate if we should
continue with this new technology.
Management continues to investigate other opportunities which are not related to
the mining industry.
