INTRODUCTION
Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. is engaged in the exploration and development of strategic, mineral rich properties in British Columbia, Canada. The Company is focusing on the Corey Project and the Coastal Copper Project, both projects have world class potential. The Corey property has a high potential of hosting massive Eskay Creek types of transitional mineralization, e.g. gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc.
PROJECT IN HAND
(1) Corey Property, Eskay Creek Mining Camp, British Columbia

Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. holds a 100% interest in thirty-two contiguous mining claims in the Eskay Creek mining camp of northwestern British Columbia. The over 10,000 hectares Kenrich-Eskay Corey claims (The Corey property) are approximately 10 km south of the operating Eskay Creek mine owned by Barrick Gold Corp. and with very favorable geology. The Corey property contains the same strike extensions of stratigraphic units present at Eskay Creek.
Barrick Gold's Eskay Creek deposit is the most important mineral deposit in the entire region and the fifth largest silver producer in the world. By the end of 2002, the Eskay Creek mine had produced 2.25 million ounces gold, and 104.7 million ounces silver (grading 1.50 oz/t gold, and 68.3 oz/t silver). The Eskay Creek deposit also contains approximately 3.2% Pb, 5.2% Zn, and 0.7% Cu.

Kenrich-Eskay is focusing its efforts towards discovering an Eskay Creek type transitional-deposit where rock units equivalent to those at Eskay Creek are present. Exploration of the Corey property started in November of 2003.
At the Corey property a total of over 5,500 metres of drilling has been completed from 17 drill holes. Two drill holes (647 metres) were completed at the Battlement Area, 8 holes (1,575 metres) were drilled at the Cumberland Zone, 4 holes (1,847 metres) were drilled at the Smitty Showing and 2 holes (1,227 metres) were drilled in the South Unuk Area. Also, hole 64 from the 2006 program was extended an additional 250 metres to test the C10 zone.

The first two batches of analytical results are currently being collated and interpreted by the Company's geologists.
Upcoming drilling will target the Red Lightning Showing that was discovered during prospecting in the late-2006 program. Assay results from selected surface grab samples are presented in the table below:

(2) Coastal Copper Property, Anyox Mining Camp, British Columbia

The Coastal Copper property is a very promising new mining exploration project in the historic Anyox mining camp of north coastal British Columbia. The land assembly is optioned 70% by Kenrich-Eskay with an agreement to earn up to 80%. The Coastal Copper project is an extensive land package that comprises more than 6,250 hectares of mining claims and completely encircles two of the region's former producing copper mines. The former producers are not included in this package; however, the prospective volcanic-sedimentary strata that host the massive sulphide geology are extensively exposed on the Coastal Copper land.
The 2007 diamond drilling program at the Coastal Copper project has been completed. The goal of this program was to further test the possible extensions of the Double Ed deposit to the north and south. The Company recently announced a mineral resource for the Double Ed deposit of 1.85 million tonnes grading 1.6% copper and 1.0% zinc (see news release of April 18).
To date in the Coastal Copper 2007 program, 6 new diamond drill holes have been completed (DE07-01 to -06) plus a re-entry and deepening of DE06-20 (from the 2006 drill program), for a total of 2,493 metres of diamond drilling.
Of the 6 new diamond drill holes completed in the 2007 program, three intersected significant mineralization.

Holes 1 and 2 intersected a wide zone of stringer to semi-massive sulphide mineralization. Holes 4 and 5 were designed to test an AeroTEM anomaly that was detected in the 2006 airborne survey. Hole DE06-20 from the 2006 program was re-entered and extended to a great depth and it intersected a downdip extension of the Double Ed mineralization. Hole 6 was designed to extend the Double Ed Zone further to the south and it intersected an additional 8.0 metres (true width) of massive sulphides grading 1.1% Cu. The Double Ed zone remains open to the north, south and downdip.

NEWS UPDATE
On June 16, 2008, Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. announced that it is commencing its 2008 field programs at its Corey and Eskay (SIB) projects in northwestern British Columbia. The Company's exploration crews are mobilizing to the field with drilling to commence shortly. The initial program between the Corey and Eskay projects will include about 4,200 metres of diamond drilling combined with geological mapping and geochemical sampling.
On May 27, 2008, Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. announced that it has begun its work program on its Babs property in Babine Lake, near Smithers, British Columbia. An exploration program of MMI soil geochemical surveys and up to a 2,500-metre diamond drill program will commence to target a Granisle/Bell-type copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit. This first stage program is estimated to cost $550,000.
On May 15, 2008, Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. announced that the TSX Venture Exchange has accepted for filing a property option agreement dated May 8, 2008, between Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. and St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd., whereby the Company has the option to earn up to an 80% interest in strategically located mineral tenures held by St. Andrew in the Eskay Creek area of British Columbia.
On May 8, 2008, Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. announced that it has entered into an option agreement with St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. to acquire up to an 80% interest in strategically located mineral tenures held by St. Andrew in the Eskay Creek area of British Columbia. The additional mineral tenures increase the property position of Kenrich by about 33,000 hectares, increasing Kenrich's position from 13,400 hectares to a total of 46,400 hectares (now comprises 177 mineral tenures).
The agreement joins two very important properties in the Eskay Creek camp, into one contiguous block that surrounds and abuts the Eskay Creek mine property of Barrick Gold Corp.
On March 17, 2008, Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. announced that it has enlisted the services of San Diego Torrey Hills Capital Inc. to act as investor relations consultants on behalf of the Company.
Kenrich-Eskay has agreed to grant new stock incentive options to certain directors, executive officers and consultants of the Company under the Company's rolling stock option plan granting to such optionees the right to purchase up to a total of 925,967 common shares at a price of 30 cents per share for a two-year period until March 17, 2010.

The property is located on the northeast side of Babine Lake, between Wilkinson and Wright Bays, about 76 km east of the community of Smithers, B.C. Four centrally located mineral tenures were acquired from a prospecting partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has added an additional 49 mineral tenures to the property, which now comprises a total of 53 contiguous mineral tenures and an approximate area of 22,827 hectares.
The Company's geologists are currently examining all historical exploration on this prospective belt and are designing a program of fieldwork, leading to drilling. Targets will include copper and copper-molybdenum porphyry deposits, with the possibility of significant precious metal contents.
The Company expects that the Babs property work will complement the work at Corey, allowing for a longer exploration season and more efficient use of the Company's established infrastructure in Northern British Columbia.
On December 5, 2007, Kenrich-Eskay Mining Corp. released the final results of the 2007 exploration program at its Corey project in British Columbia.

Also, hole 64 from the 2006 program was extended an additional 135 metres to test the C10 zone.
The majority of the 2007 analytical results have been received from the labs. The main finding of the 2007 exploration season is the C10, Red Lightning, HSOV and Spearhead zones.
