Big Bar Acquires Key Ground Above Porphyry Copper Target at Big Bar's Troy Ranch Property, Arizona

Big Bar is pleased to announce the acquisition of two key properties related to its porphyry copper target that it has developed at its Troy Ranch property near Ray in central Arizona. Two particular properties have been acquired that share key geographic portions of the target (see Figure 1). Each of the agreements is structured an option to purchase after a three-year term.

In order to exercise the option from the Silver Nickel Mining group (John, Linda Kay and Fred Rothermel) with respect to a patented claim group totaling 148.74 acres, located in the Riverside Mining District, the Company must pay a total of US$143,000 in cash and issue 60,000 shares in the capital of the Company over a three-year period.

A separate option agreement with Harry and Edythe Hagen covers key patented fee ground totaling 175.86 acres. Under this agreement, the Company must pay a total of US$131,895 in cash and issue 60,000 shares in the capital of the Company over a three-year period.

The acquisition of these properties now allows unimpeded exploration of the entire target area. The geologic rational for the target design will be discussed in a subsequent news release.

Stock Options

-------------

The company further announces that it has granted stock options on 1,300,000 common shares in its capital, exercisable for up to five years at a price of $0.75 cents per share.

This stock option grant replaces the one announced in the Company's news release dated November 2, 2006.
