Frederick, is pleased to report that at a Special Meeting for Inter-Citic Minerals Inc. held yesterday the shareholders passed a resolution approving the increase of the number of common shares authorized to be issued from 98,500,000 common shares without par value to an unlimited number of common shares without par value.

The amendment allows the Corporation greater flexibility in issuing common shares in that no limit is set on the number of common shares it can issue.

On behalf of the Board,

Mark R. Frederick, Chairman, Inter-Citic Minerals Inc.
