Cerro Casale Receives Fromal Approval of the Environmental Impact Study

News Release

March 21, 2002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Compania Minera Casale has recently informed the joint venture partners, Placer Dome Inc. (51%), Arizona Star Resource Corp.(25%) and Bema Gold Corporation (24%), that formal approval has been received for the Cerro Casale Environmental Impact Study from the Chilean regulatory authorities (COREMA).


Submittal of the Environmental Impact Study ("EIS") document was made to COREMA in March, 2001, with subsequent addendums addressing specific concerns of the public and COREMA in July and December. With the formal approval of the EIS in hand the project is ready to proceed once metal prices improve sufficiently for project financing.


Based on the Feasibility Study completed in January 2000 by Placer Dome Technical Services Limited, Cerro Casale contains over one billion tonnes of mineable ore that could produce over 17.5 million ounces of gold and 2.34 million tonnes of copper over the 18 year mine life. The feasibility study was completed using a gold price of US$350 per ounce and a copper price of US$0.95 per pound. Cash production costs are estimated to be below US$100 per ounce of gold with total operating costs estimated at US$203 per ounce of gold (assuming credits for copper at US$0.95 per pound). Cerro Casale is located in northern Chile, approximately 145 kilometres south-east of the city of Copiapo, at an elevation between 3,800 and 4,450 metres.


The fresh water supply for the project has been secured. Water rights totaling 1,145 liters per second have been formally granted in the Piedra Pomez and Pedrenales areas. Electrical power contracts are also in place for 245 megawatts, sufficient for construction and plant start-up at initial milling rates of approximately 170,000 tonnes per day.
