("Eastfield") pursuant to which Oceanside has been granted the exclusive option to acquire up to a 60% interest in and to certain mineral claims known as the Indata property located in the Omineca Mining Division, British Columbia (the "Transaction"). The terms of the Transaction are subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") approval and if approved, the Transaction will constitute Oceanside's acquisition of a significant asset as a Qualifying Transaction as that term is defined in the CPC Listings Policy of the Exchange.

The Indata Property

The Indata Property is located in north central British Columbia north of the regional centre of Fort St. James, BC. The Property, with both a lode gold and porphyry copper target, has been owned by Eastfield since 1986 on claims were staked by Imperial Metals Corporation in 1983 (Imperial retains a 10.1% working interest in the property). Cumulative exploration expenditures completed by Eastfield and its partners in this project since 1987 total $2.3 million dollars including $351,000 in 2008). The property consists of 15 claims covering 3,060 hectares (7,500 acres).

The Indata property is situated in a complex geological setting adjacent to the Pinchi fault. Two styles of mineralization are known to occur on the property: 1.) lode gold of a "Mother Lode" characteristic (similar to the Mother Lode district in California), probably related to the Pinchi Fault; and 2.) and "Porphyry Copper" style mineralization, possibly related to a Cretaceous aged intrusive event or alternatively to Triassic-Jurassic plutonism as is the case at Kwanika Creek located ten kilometers to the north. Previous drill highlights at Indata include hole 1988-11which intersected 4 meters grading 47.26 g/t (1.38 oz/ton) gold and hole 1998-4, located 1500 meters to the west of 1988-11 which intersected 145metres grading 0.20% copper including 24 meters grading 0.37% copper.

A robust multi-element geochemical anomaly identified on the north-eastern edge of the grid with a signature which almost certainly reflects a precious metal vein or vein systems was discovered in 2007 and has not yet been geophysically surveyed or drill tested. One kilometer of drill road was completed in 2007 to gain access to this target but was stopped 550 meters short of as the budget became exhausted. A permit has been authorized to complete the line cutting and induced polarization surveying in this area and to complete two reconnaissance lines five kilometers to the south. A "table top" archeological assessment has been requested as precursor to permitting road construction or drilling and is currently being completed. Indata became road accessible in 1994 following the completion of 18 kilometers of all weather access road into the heart of the property.
