MATERIAL CHANGE REPORT
Item 1 Name and Address of Company

Vancouver, BC V6A 1B8
Item 2 Date of Material Change
November 1, 2004
Item 3 News Release
The news release dated November 1, 2004 was issued in Vancouver, BC and disseminated through CCN Matthews.
Item 4 Summary of Material Change
The Company reports that the balance of results have been received from the 2004 diamond drill program on the 04 deposit of the Cape Ray Gold Project, located in southwest Newfoundland.
2,914metres of NQ diamond drilling has been completed in the 2004 program, consisting of eleven diamond drill holes.
The first two holes of the 2004 program, CR-04-10 and CR-04-11 intersected a post-mineralization fault zone and therefore did not test the mineralized zone. CR-04-13 was abandoned due to deviation problems and did not reach its target. CR-04-19 was drilled along the eastern strike of the 04 deposit and did not intersect any significant mineralization. CR-04-17 was drilled to test the down-plunge extensions of the A vein. The hole did not flatten as expected and deviated too far east of the projected plunge line, however a number of lower grade gold intersections were encountered.
CR-04-12, 14, 15, 16 all intersected multiple zones of significant gold mineralization, as outlined in the table below. These four holes tested gaps in known mineralization and were drilled from 12.5 to 30 metres away from previously drilled holes. The results provide greater confidence in the continuity and grade of known mineralization.
CR-04-18 was drilled to test the A vein 100 feet down-dip of PB-198 (6.13 g/t over 12.2 m) and up-dip of CR-03-05 (9.8 g/t over 3.0 m). The hole intersected two narrow zones of gold mineralization (4.56 g/t over 1.83 m and 2.76 g/t over 4.57 m), which are interpreted to represent the A vein projection. The hole also intersected 9.06 g/t over 0.91 m in the B vein.
CR-04-20 was drilled to test for mineralization between the 04 and 41 deposits and intersected two narrow zones of gold mineralization (3.0 g/t over 0.91 m and 3.0 g/t over 0.91 m).
Item 5 Full Description of Material Change
The Company reports that the balance of results have been received from the 2004 diamond drill program on the 04 deposit of the Cape Ray Gold Project, located in southwest Newfoundland.
Work on the 04 deposit by Terra Nova and others, including approximately 18,500 metres of drilling in seventy-seven drill holes, has outlined a multi-vein gold system. The system has two primary veins, known as the A vein and the B Vein, as well as smaller ancillary veins. The 2004 program was designed to establish the continuity and grade between existing intersections of known mineralization, to test for extensions of known mineralization, and to test for additional mineralization between the 04 and 41 deposits.
2,914metres of NQ diamond drilling has been completed in the 2004 program, consisting of eleven diamond drill holes. The first seven holes of the program were reported on in the Company’s material change report dated September 30, 2004. The results for the four outstanding holes, CR-04-17 to 20 are reported on in this material change report, and for context, the results of the first seven holes of the program are also included.
The first two holes of the 2004 program, CR-04-10 and CR-04-11 intersected a post-mineralization fault zone and therefore did not test the mineralized zone. CR-04-13 was abandoned due to deviation problems and did not reach its target. CR-04-19 was drilled along the eastern strike of the 04 deposit and did not intersect any significant mineralization. CR-04-17 was drilled to test the down-plunge extensions of the A vein. The hole did not flatten as expected and deviated too far east of the projected plunge line, however a number of lower grade gold intersections were encountered.
CR-04-12, 14, 15, 16 all intersected multiple zones of significant gold mineralization, as outlined in the table below. These four holes tested gaps in known mineralization and were drilled from 12.5 to 30 metres away from previously drilled holes. The results provide greater confidence in the continuity and grade of known mineralization.
CR-04-18 was drilled to test the A vein 100 feet down-dip of PB-198 (6.13 g/t over 12.2 m) and up-dip of CR-03-05 (9.8 g/t over 3.0 m). The hole intersected two narrow zones of gold mineralization (4.56 g/t over 1.83 m and 2.76 g/t over 4.57 m), which are interpreted to represent the A vein projection. The hole also intersected 9.06 g/t over 0.91 m in the B vein.
CR-04-20 was drilled to test for mineralization between the 04 and 41 deposits and intersected two narrow zones of gold mineralization (3.0 g/t over 0.91 m and 3.0 g/t over 0.91 m).
The Cape Ray Gold Project is an advanced stage exploration project with four known deposits related to the Cape Ray Fault Zone. The Project has three separate claim groups: 1) the Cape Ray claim group, which contains the 04 and 41 deposits; 2) the Big Pond claim group, which contains the Big Pond deposit; 3) the Isle aux Morts claim group, which contains the Isle aux Morts deposit.
