PRESS RELEASE

Mini-bulk Sample Program Planned on Tahera's Anuri Kimberlite 

ICE Claims Returned to Tahera

 

Toronto - Wednesday February 19, 2003

Rockinghorse Property
Tahera is very pleased to announce Kennecott's commitment to collect a
mini-bulk sample (minimum 2.5 tonnes) of the Anuri kimberlite during the
upcoming Spring 2003 exploration program. 

The significantly diamondiferous Anuri kimberlite was discovered on the
Rockinghorse property in 2001.  Tahera is encouraged by both the diamond
results reported to date (see press release dated August 22, 2002) and
the size potential of the kimberlite. 

Several unresolved kimberlite indicator mineral trains exist on the
highly prospective Rockinghorse Property.  In addition to the Anuri
kimberlite mini-bulk sample program, further exploration in being
planned.

Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc. (a member of the Rio Tinto group of
companies) is the operator of the Rockinghorse Property joint venture.
The joint venture agreement provides Kennecott with the option to earn a
25% interest after expenditures of $25,000,000, and a 62.5% interest in
the property by funding all costs up to a mine development decision,
before 2008.  Further details regarding the 2003 exploration budget will
be announced in due course.

ICE Claims
BHP Billiton has notified Tahera that it is withdrawing from the ICE
Claims joint venture.  Tahera will compile and review all available
technical data from the property to determine the future work program.
Tahera will entertain joint venture proposals from other parties with
respect to the property.

Michael J. Michaud of SRK Consulting is Tahera's qualified person for
its exploration programs.
