Corp. ("Canyon") (TSX-V: CNC) (OTCBB: CNYC) is very pleased to
announce that Mr. John Kerr, P.Eng.
has been appointed to the Board of Directors. He has been a member
on Canyon's Advisory Board which is utilized to assist Canyon's

continuously since graduation as an exploration geologist. His
expertise is epithermal and sedex-hosted precious metal deposits in
the southwest United States,
strata controlled gold deposits and porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum

North America. Successful ventures
include recognition and discovery of the Santa Fe gold mine,
identification of the Calvada gold mine located on the northern
boundary of the New Canyon property, and discovery of the Mindora
gold/silver deposit, all located in Nevada. He is also credited with early
identification of two VMS deposits at the Rambler Mine in

During the early exploration of the Santa Fe and
Calvada deposits (1973-1979), Mr Kerr familiarized himself with
exploration endeavours on the Longshot Ridge copper skarn and the
Copper Queen porphyry copper deposits on the New York Canyon
property. His knowledge of these deposits will provide invaluable
input to ongoing development.
