CONSOLIDATED BIG VALLEY UPDATE ON THE JACOBIE LAKE, MOUNT POLLEY AREA PROPERTY

Further to our March 16/05 news release. Consolidated Big Valley Resources Inc. (“CBG.H”) is pleased to announce historic results from the recently acquired J1-4 claims from Globex Mining in the Mount Polley area. The four tenures have now been converted into a new tenure through conversion into a Cell and has been expanded to 10 units from 4 totalling 196.6 hectares. The Jacobie Lake claims are located approximately 65 km. Northeast of Williams Lake, B.C. and are adjacent to Imperial Metals Corporation claims on the south and eastern boundaries of the property.

Staking of the original claims was initiated in 1989 when outcrop exposures containing chalcocite and malachite mineralization was uncovered during logging road construction. Sampling reported by White Channel in 1989 consisted of select grab samples from three log landing sites giving the following results.

Sample #               %Cu                   Ag oz/t

D45906                   4.23                    ---
D45907                   6.52                   ---
D45911                   5.88                   1.23
D45912                   4.33                    ---
D45913                   7.29                   1.29

In 1991 Pamicon Developments Ltd. identified through geological mapping widespread (1.2 km x .8 km area) disseminated and fracture filling copper mineralization present in the vicinity of logging road cuts. Select grab samples from three road cuts returned the following assays:

Sample #                   %Cu                        

MJ 1                           2.64    
MJ 2                           5.16
MJ 3                           1.01
MJ 4                           1.22
MJ 5                           1.08
MJ 6-9 giving uniform values averaging 0.89% Cu

Later work commissioned by Globex Mining Enterprises returned the following results. Ten trenches varying in length from 5 to 35 m (total 230 metres in length) with an average width of 4 m (total area .092 hectares) were cut with a Caterpillar crawler dozer. All 230m of trenching was rock chip sampled along the axis of the trench, and samples were taken across 5m widths. Highlights of the trenching program were as follows:

Trench #              Width                    % Cu

4                           15m                     .25
5                           35m                     1.12
7                           5m                       .20
12                         15m                      .16

Trench No. 5 returned the highest grade of 1.12% Cu across a width of 35 m. It must be noted that a 10m covered interval could not be trenched and that a 5m interval returned 7.12% Cu. The rich 5 meter interval had stringers of chrysocolla up to 20cm thick which would account for the high grade. The 5m showing is supported by adjacent samples which returned values of .34, .22 and .11% Cu respectively. It should be noted that this data is historical in nature and were compiled before the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards. Investors are cautioned that recent independent verification of the data has not been performed and Consolidated Big Valley has not completed sufficient exploration to verify the historical results.

Consolidated Big Valley intends to further evaluate the potential for the property to host economic concentrations of copper bearing mineralization by conducting an induced polarization survey to evaluate mineralization to depth and also furthering a trenching program throughout the property. Upon completion of this program a drilling program is expected to be initiated.
