Drill hole locations are displayed in a diagram in the report previously mentioned available on the Magnus website. The diagram illustrates that only a relatively small portion of the mining license and mineralized trend at Mangshi has been drill tested.

MS06-20 was well mineralized with sulphides, and contained Au concentrations from 70.1m to 90.15 with assay values between 0.1 to 4.9 grams/tonne Gold, but not over consistent drill widths. MS06-23 and MS06-25 contained altered rocks and weak Au mineralization.

Mineralized drill holes to date are 2, 3, 6, 7, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 24. These may be defining a mineralized trend.

Exploration staff are in the process of integrating all drill hole, mapping, geophysics, and structural geology information to define targets in anticipation of a second phase of drilling on the project.

The Magnus exploration and management teams together with the Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. exploration teams are highly encouraged by these drilling results and excited about the ongoing exploration opportunity in the Mangshi district.

Additional information on the 3 km by 300m soil geochemistry feature at Mangshi and more information on the exploration program at Mangshi can be found on the Magnus International Resources website at www.magnusresources.com.

Purchase of Option on Mining License Operations

On June 26, 2006, Magnus, through its joint venture subsidiary, Yunnan Western Mining Ltd. ("Western Mining"), entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to purchase all of the assets of the Mangshi Gold Mine of Team 209 (the "Mangshi Gold Mine"), a subsidiary of Geological Team 209 of the Nuclear Industry Department of the Peoples Republic of China ("Team 209") in exchange for payment of an aggregate of 22,000,000 RMB over the next three (3) years. The Mangshi Gold Mine assets include:

1. All current mining rights to the Mangshi Gold Mine mining license;

2. All leaching pads, except those that are actively being leached or newly prepared pads prior to the date of executing this Agreement, which upon completion of leaching such leaching pads will belong to Western Mining;

3. All of the equipment, production material and other tools of Mangshi Gold Mine, including two jaw crushers and four tractors, except for those specifically excluded in the Agreement; and

4. All exploration data and production procedure accumulated by Mangshi Gold Mine in connection with its mining and exploration activities at Mangshi to date.

The Agreement provides that Western Mining will assign a team of specialists to confirm the exploration data of Mangshi Gold Mine and based on the report to be delivered by the specialists, Western Mining will determine within one week whether to accept the mining license and the mining assets.

Under the Agreement, Western Mining is to pay the 22,000,000 RMB to Mangshi Gold Mine as follows:

1. 15,000,000 RMB within ten (10) days of execution of the Agreement and completion of the transfers, to the bank account designated by Mangshi Gold Mine;

2. 5,000,000 RMB by June 30, 2007, to the bank account designated by Mangshi Gold Mine; and

3. 2,000,000 RMB by June 30, 2008, to the bank account designated by Mangshi Gold Mine.

The parties are also subject to other rights and obligations as set forth in the Agreement.

On October 29, 2005, the Company, through Western Mining, agreed to purchase the Mangshi mining license from Team 209 in exchange for 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Under that mining license transfer agreement, the mining license holding the permits were to be transferred to Western Mining, while the existing heap leach operations were to be allowed to continue to be operated by Team 209, but only to a maximum depth of 15 meters, only for a maximum period of 3 years from the date of execution and only for resources (gold in loose unconsolidated red soil) as defined under the agreement. The Company maintained an option to purchase the existing estimated resources within the mining license at any time. Under the current agreement, all existing mining rights immediately pass to Western Mining, and Western Mining plans to start operating the heap leach pads in the near future.

Change in Board of Directors

On June 23, 2006, Mr. Pete Smith, a director and officer of the Company, resigned from his positions as Vice President of Corporate Affairs and as a director of the Company, without having any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Mr. Smith had been a director of the Company since May 4, 2004 and Vice-President of Corporate Affairs since February 8, 2005. Mr. Smith resigned from such positions in order to pursue other interests outside the Company, but he plans to remain as a consultant to the Company, on a part-time basis.
