FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 24, 2003

First Point Receives Consultants Recommendations for Cacamuyá.
Expanded Trenching Program Continues at Rio Luna

Dr. Peter Bradshaw, President of First Point Minerals Corp. (TSXV: FPX) today announced that the Company has received an exploration review of the Cacamuyá Gold property in Honduras from Mr. John Chulick B.Sc. (California Registered Geologist). As previously announced, Mr. Chulick was the Exploration Manager at Meridian Gold’s - El Penón mine in Chile from 1997 until recently.

Mr. Chulick’s report contains several observations, as follows: The first and most important target is the Cerro Chachagua vein, which has a known strike length of approximately 700 meters and has been tested only to a depth of only150 meters below surface. As previously reported (news release of December 12, 2002), six of 12 holes have significant mineralized pierce points with two considered to be very high grade. Drilling has concentrated on the west and east ends of the structure, and there is little drilling in the central portion. Mr. Chulick concludes that the potential for the Cerro Chachagua vein, within the 700 m strike identified to date, remains significant if additional drilling is able to demonstrate economic grades and widths below the current depth of drilling. There is, in addition, further potential if the vein can be extended along strike. At the D4/D5 target area, initial trenching and drilling has returned several significant intercepts (news release of February 25, 2003), but structural continuity has not so far been demonstrated. Significant potential remains, particularly if continuity can be established with the Carmen-Esperanza veins 900 meters to the west along strike. At Filo Lapa, an important potential is indicated by an apparent NNE trending multi-element geochemical anomaly that corresponds with zones of silicification plus sericite and argillic alteration. Prior to the next round of drilling, Mr. Chulick recommends a geophysical survey to better identify possible through-going structures and more reliably define drill targets. First Point will be engaging a contractor to complete this work, which will take several months.

The Company also announces that trenching is continuing on the Rio Luna Epithermal Gold Property in Nicaragua. To date, the Company has reported results from 46 hand trenches, which were completed over a 2.5 kilometers strike length along the El Paraíso vein system. As previously stated, First Point is encouraged by initial results. The gold bearing veins show considerable continuity, mineralized intervals average 2.8 meters and locally are up to 8 meters in true width, with results such as 21.1 and 11.7 grams/tonne gold over 1.9 and 2.2 meters respectively. Results from the second phase of trenching are anticipated within the next few weeks. Given the number of targets established to date, as well as the strike length of targets being developed, trenching will most likely continue through the summer. Once completed, these results will be used to define diamond drill targets.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 30, 2003

Size of Vein System at Rio Luna Increased, Continuity Confirmed
Further Trenching Underway

Dr. Peter Bradshaw, President of First Point Minerals Corp. (TSXV: FPX) is pleased to announce initial results from the second phase of an ongoing trenching program on the Rio Luna epithermal gold property in Nicaragua. Trenching was focused on extending the El Paraíso vein system along strike to the northwest and southeast of trenching completed during phase one. First Point continues to be encouraged with progress at Rio Luna with recent trenching demonstrating that the strike length is more than 5.4 kilometers and confirming the continuity of the El Paraíso vein system which still remains open along strike.

Precious metal grades and vein textures from surface exposures along the El Paraíso vein are similar to those observed in surface exposures at the El Limon mine located 125 kilometers to the west of Rio Luna. At El Limon, economic ore typically lies 100 meters below surface, which reinforces management’s belief that the veins at Rio Luna reflect higher elevations within an epithermal system and that higher grades of gold mineralization can be anticipated at depth.

In the Filadelfia area, located in the southeastern part of the El Paraíso vein system, results returned up to 5.7 grams/tonne (“g/t”) gold and 20 g/t silver over 0.7 meters in trench TR-48 and 3.1 g/t gold and 41.5 g/t silver over 0.4 meters in trench TR-54. Results indicate that in addition to gold, veins in the Filadelfia area also contain appreciable silver grades. Details of some of the second phase of trenching are as follows:

The remainder of samples from the second phase of trenching have been submitted and analytical results are pending. Once completed, these results will be used to define diamond drill targets.

Exploration continues at Rio Luna with a third phase of trenching, which is currently underway in the Rodeo area, where four additional veins have been discovered between 1 and 2 kilometers northeast of the El Paraíso vein system.
