Visa Gold Exploration Inc.

Yours truly, Doug Lewis President June 28, 1999 SPANISH GALLEON PROJECT BUSINESS PLAN Visa Gold Resources Inc. ("Visa Gold") a private corporation, incorporated in the Turks and Caicos Islands, has recently acquired the right to explore historic shipwrecks in two areas within the territorial waters of the Republic of Cuba. The project is a result of a joint venture agreement signed with Geomar S.A., a state-owned entity which has a mandate to develop shipwreck operations in Cuba. The agreement, which was the result of extensive negotiations grants the joint venture the exclusive right to excavate and salvage shipwrecks once they are located in the two areas allocated to the joint venture. The Spanish Galleon Project involves archival research, and high-tech exploration and salvage methods in the retrieval of articles of archeological value as well as gold bullion, silver bars and coins, emeralds and pearls that could have a value of millions of dollars. Numerous shipwrecks including 25 sunken galleons have been documented in the contract area which, until recently, remained off-limits to foreigners. This venture has the potential to be one of the most lucrative in maritime history. It is the intention of the organizers to bring the most up-to-date methods to the operation in order that archeological criteria will be respected at the same time that those who take the risks of financing such a venture will be rewarded with a reasonable return on their investment. OBJECTIVES OF THE JOINT VENTURE Visa Gold and Geomar will work to achieve a true partnership between the interests of scientific and archeological research and the legitimate interests of those taking the financial risk. Every effort will be made to respect the historical nature of the salvage targets. International and Cuban experts will be consulted on an ongoing basis and on every recovery. The academic community, the archeological community, and those interested in heritage, as well as the Cuban government, will be consulted continually. In fact we see no conflict between academic and scientific interests and the interests of those who advanced the funds to expand those interests. We believe that we can make the two interests complement each other. THE AGREEMENT AREA - GRAVEYARD OF SUNKEN GALLEONS The contract covers two areas off the coast of Cuba. The "North" area stretches west from the mouth of the Havana harbour and the "South" area consists of an area surrounding the Isle of Youth on the south coast of Cuba, totaling approximately 5,000 sq. km. For over 250 years, Spain was the dominant power in the area of the world discovered by Christopher Columbus. Because of its geographical location, Havana was a major centre for trade and commerce as well as a major launching point for ships and fleets heading to Europe. Pirates and the weather made it very risky to sail in the waters surrounding Cuba. Safety was the port of Havana. Spanish treasure ships from South America headed for the Isle of Youth (also known as the Isle of Pines), and then west around the western tip of Cuba and east to Havana. Hundreds of these ships were lost in Cuban coastal waters, resulting in the largest concentration of shipwrecks in the world. Estimates of the current value of such shipwrecks range from a few millions to billions of dollars. Since the Cuban revolution in 1959 no foreigner has been permitted to conduct shipwreck operations within the contract areas. At the same time, underwater search and salvage technology has advanced dramatically since 1959 and resulted in spectacular discoveries elsewhere in the world in recent years, including the discovery of the Titanic. Experts predict a "gold rush in the ocean" and "everything lost in the ocean will be found in the next twenty-five to thirty years." Corporate Data Directors and Officers Hon.
