                             ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS
  
La Teko Resources Ltd. announced on February 10, 1998 that joint venture partner
Newmont Exploration Limited has acquired an additional 4,200 acres of land from
Placer Dome Inc. which will become a part of the True North Joint Venture. This
acquisition brings the total True North property position to 14,300 acres.

This new property is a significant addition to the joint venture, as it lies
along strike from the main True North deposit to the northeast and southwest,
covering favourable Chatanika Terrane rocks. A large proportion of this year's
Phase I exploration program, particularly the power auger geochemical sampling
program, will test this ground for new gold zones.

Newmont is earning a 65% interest in the True North project by paying $6 million
to La Teko, now fully paid, and by spending $21 million on exploration and
development of the property, including a feasibility study. Estimated
expenditures by Newmont to the end of 1997 are approximately $10.5 million.
Terms of the new acquisition include an initial payment of $150,000. La Teko
will contribute its 35% of the initial acquisition cost, or $52,500, and
thereafter, all expenditures will be carried by Newmont until it is fully vested
in the project.

In other news, Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc. has provided an extension until
February 27, 1998 when La Teko must confirm that it is proceeding with the
option to acquire the Scheelite Dome property in central Yukon, whereupon the
initial C$30,000 payment will be owing. The agreement, announced November 25,
1997, gives La Teko the right to earn a 100% interest in the project by making
payments to the underlying landowner of C$135,000 and spending C$800,000 on
exploration over four years. Kennecott has a 49% back-in right.

The Scheelite Dome property hosts a giant, low grade gold mineralized system,
reflected by a 4 km. by 2 km. gold in soil anomaly. The property has the
potential, within this system, to contain a large, economic gold deposit. Should
La Teko elect not to proceed with the option, La Teko will, subject to
regulatory approval, issue 30,000 shares to Kennecott as a break-up fee.

The Company has decided not to acquire the Mt. Distin gold project, Alaska,
according to the agreement also announced on November 25, 1997.
