Fall 2007 News:

0754545 BC Ltd. (“075”), the funding partner in the Kaibab JV between 075 and DIR, has successfully taken itself public through the vehicle of the TVX capital pool company, Naples Capital Corporation (“Naples”). Prior to this event, 0754545 BC Limited renamed itself Takara Resources, Inc. (“Takara”). It is expected that Naples will be renamed some variant of “Takara Resources” during its first stockholders meeting to be held after the September 2007 completion of the Takara/Naples Qualifying Transaction. At this writing, this meeting is scheduled to be held on November 15, 2007.

As Takara Resources, Inc., has previously announced (www.takararesources.com), the Kaibab JV owns mineral rights – as of the September 1, 2007, beginning of the 2007-2008 US mining claim assessment year – to some 217 separate breccia pipe prospects. Approximately 200 of these prospects were identified, inspected, and sampled by DIR Exploration, Inc. (“DIR”), the Operator of the Kaibab JV, over the period October 2006 through August 2007, using funding provided by Takara. The remainder of the Kaibab JV prospects were contributed to the Kaibab JV by DIR Exploration, Inc., in July 2006. This latest prospect generation work was carried out following the plans and procedures described in the DIR business proposal found within the pages of this website. The Kaibab JV uranium breccia pipe prospects are approximately equally distributed on both sides of the Grand Canyon in Mohave and Coconino Counties, Arizona.

The exploration work of Phase II of the Kaibab JV is now underway, and largely consists of completing preparations for additional drilling of the advanced exploration properties brought to the JV by DIR in July 2006. See press releases already provided by Takara at www.takararesources.com for additional information regarding the relevant Phase II and Phase III programs of the Kaibab JV. Takara has an option to earn up to a 90% interest in the Kaibab JV, while DIR will retain, at the least, a 10% carried interest in the venture. For any given breccia pipe, this DIR interest will be carried through to the start of commercial production of uranium ore from said pipe. The exploration work of the Kaibab JV is, by the JV Agreement controlling the joint venture, governed by the equal JV Management Committee voting power of the two parties to the JV.

Final news is that DIR has added a fourth geologist to its group. Amy Titterington, formerly of Seattle and a recent geology graduate of USC-Santa Cruz, will be beginning exploration field and office work with DIR near the end of this November.

On the behalf of DIR:

Lawrence D. Turner, President/Managing Geologist/Director
