Leeward Capital Corp. is a Canadian junior mining exploration company incorporated and registered in the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, with headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, it is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (LWC).


COMPANY OVERVIEW


Leeward Capital Corp.'s strategic objective is to carry out the methodical development of new mineral plays. The company's primary focus is on the development of the Nithi Mountain property in nNorthern British Columbia (Canada) and specifically to identify and develop a 100+ million tonne resource of the mineral molybdenum. The property is located 18 km from the Endako Molydenum Mine which has the infrastructure in place to immediately mine a new deposit at Nithi Mountain once it has been identified (see Broad Oak Associates report in Reports and Presentations. At any time, the company has advanced opportunities for mine development, with several current exploration programs and provide for a constant flow of new prospects.

Leeward has developed well-established Canadian mining properties which combine with the medium-term attractiveness of molybdenum and gold mining development.

Leeward anticipates strong prices and demand for molybdenum and other commodities in the near future and profitable economics for its primary Canadian properties. The company has invested in Canadian exploration with a stable, balanced portfolio making steady progress to medium- and long-term development projects.

PROPERTY LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

Molybdenum - Nithi Mountain, British Columbia

The Nithi Mountain Moly property is located in central British Columbia 8 km south of the Town of Fraser Lake. Fraser Lake is along the Yellowhead Highway and the main CN rail line to Prince Rupert. The property is readily accessible via logging roads and various exploration trails. A power line passes a few kilometres to the north of the claims. The producing Endako Moly Mine lies about 18 km west-northwest of the property. The Endako Mine can process 33,000 tonnes per day of 0.10% Molybdenite, has been in production since 1965, and has a fully permitted facility including a roaster. The Nithi property is now the primary focus of Leeward.

Molybdenite mineralization on Nithi Mountain is classified as low fluorine, porphyry moly type. Mineralization is hosted by the Nithi and Casey intrusive phases of the Topley intrusive suite. The geology, style of mineralization, nature of associated alteration, all bear a strong resemblance to that at the Endako Mine.

Previous exploration has included soil sampling, trenching, IP surveying, and both diamond and percussion drilling. The most significant result to date was from diamond drillhole N-14 which intersected 115 metres grading 0.10% molybdenite. There had been no exploration in the area for over 25 years. Leeward acquired the property in 2003 since the moly price was beginning to move upward. Since then, world prices have increased twelve-fold from $3.00 to over $36.00 a pound.

Exploration by the Company began in the fall of 2004 and included geological mapping, rock sampling, and airborne geophysical surveying of the property. In addition, a comprehensive GIS database was assembled. This included the compilation of over 1200 soil sample results, rock sample data, geology, and drill holes. The combination of these previous results with the new geophysical data has defined the "Alpha" zone and high-priority targets for a spring 2005 drilling program.


Gold - Set Ga Done Project, Myanmar

Leeward Capital applied for and was granted a 75% interest in a 700 square kilometre concession in northern Shan State in the Union of Myanmar. Leeward's interest in the project is shared equally with Jet Gold Corp, who provided the funds for the initial acquisition and exploration of the property. This concession encompasses a number of known gold showings, one of which, Set Ga Done, is drill ready. Field exploration carried out in 2004 has revealed two parallel gold zones to the south of the Set Ga Done gold zone.

An initial diamond drilling program was attempted in the spring of 2004. Unfortunately, due to problems with the drilling equipment, poor ground conditions, and poor recovery, this program was unsuccessful in penetrating the Set Ga Done gold zone. The zone is estimated to be approximately 700 meters long and 14 metres wide. Previous surface and shallow underground mining along this zone has continued since 1989 when gold was first discovered by local miners.

Another attempt at drilling this zone is planned for the spring of 2005. A new diamond drill rig is being imported with an experience drilling crew.


Gold - Pistol Lake, Nunavut

The Pistol Lake gold property has been held by Leeward Capital Corp. since 1991 and is located in Nunavut along the west side of Bathurst Inlet. This gold prospect is situated 170 km northeast of Echo Bay's Lupin Mine. Logistically, the property lies 14 km west of tidewater at Portage Bay and 30 km northwest of the new proposed deep-water port facility at the hamlet of Bathurst Inlet.

Various exploration companies carried out diamond drilling during the periods 1964-65, 1979, 1984-85, 1988, and most recently in 2000. Roberts Mining carried out an initial 8-hole diamond drilling program in 1964-65. Gold Fields Mining Corp. completed an eleven-hole program in 1979. Silver Hart Mines, in 1984-85 completed a total of 48 diamond drill holes. Chevron Minerals completed eight holes in 1988. Most recently, in 2000, Qikiqtaaluk Corporation completed an eight-hole program under an option agreement with Leeward. A total of 83 drill holes have been completed. All of this previous information, consisting of detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling, trenching, drilling, and both ground and airborne geophysical surveying has been assembled into a comprehensive computer database for the property.

Diamond exploration - Attawapiskat Area, Ontario

In March 2003, Leeward undertook the acquisition 36 claims encompassing an area of 6,080 hectares in the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario. The claims are held 100% by Leeward. The specific targets staked were identified on the basis of a remote sensing technique. A gravity survey was completed over all of these claims in the spring of 2004. Thirteen of the targets tested had a gravity response. Based on these geophysical results, an overburden sampling program was completed in the fall. Microprobe results from this heavy mineral survey are not yet available. In the Attawapiskat area, eighteen kimberlite pipes or dykes have been located thus far, of which sixteen have been found to be diamond-bearing. The Victor Pipe, owned by DeBeers, appears to be economic and is characterized by the presence of large high-quality diamonds. DeBeers is planning to put this diamond pipe into production by 2007.
