European Nickel is a UK registered company listed on the AIM, PLUS and ASX exchanges under the ticker symbol ENK. European Nickel is an emerging mid-tier nickel laterite producer focused on growth. The Çaldag project in Turkey is the Company's flagship asset with near term production and will be the world's first commercial scale nickel laterite heap leach operation. In addition, it will be one of the largest foreign direct investments in Turkey’s mining industry.The Company’s key competitive advantage over its peers is its proven and simple heap leaching process which produces a mixed hydroxide product at lower capital and operating costs than conventional forms of nickel laterite processing technologies.The Company's current projects are located in Turkey, the Philippines and Albania.In July 2010, European Nickel entered into a strategic partnership with Constantia Resources, a member of the Hunter Dickinson group through a two tranche, non-brokered private placement which will result in Constantia holding an interest of just under 30%. The first tranche will raise £3.36 million (approximately US$5 million). The second tranche, which is expected to take place within 30 days of the completion of the Çaldag project finance facility, will raise a further £36.7 million (approximately US$55 million). Hunter Dickinson has an exceptional track record in advancing mining projects through development and construction and on to operations. Their expertise will complement European Nickel’s management team and technological know-how to assist the successfully delivery of the Çaldag project.European Nickel also recently merged with Rusina to consolidate a global development pipeline that comprises of more than 1.3 million tonnes of nickel in reserves and resources. Following this merger, European Nickel were admitted to trading on the ASX in June 2010.

Gold Summit is actively looking at existing small discoveries in addition to adding shareholder value through exploration, prior to pre-development. The company’s preferred targets are high grade gold/silver deposits that would eventually be mined by underground methods. To maximize chances of exploration success, acquisition of whole districts with multiple targets is preferred. Within those districts, high quality geological mapping, rock and soil sampling as well as evaluation of work by previous explorers define drilling targets. Careful selection of these for testing is the key to success.Gold Summit explores in several favorable gold geological environments in the United States. The company’s main emphasis is Nevada, the third largest gold producing area in the world. It is a mining friendly state with a manageable regulatory framework, excellent infrastructure and year round access. Gold Summit’s geologists have worked there for the past 30 years.

Redcorp’s outlook took a very positive turn in early 2006 when we decided to re-evaluate the Tulsequah Project in light of improving metal prices. The previous Feasibility Update scoping study which was curtailed in May 2005 was re-examined by an independent engineering consultant and found to have significant opportunities for improvement. We then made a decision to advance the Project through a series of key objectives in 2006 in order to determine its development path.We raised exploration funds in 2006 and were successful in demonstrating sizeable additions and expansion potential at the Tulsequah Chief deposit and at the Big Bull deposit. Wardrop Engineering Inc. was selected to commence the Feasibility Study re-evaluation. We also commenced the expansion of our management team to direct the Feasibility Study work and expanded corporate activity.A significant change in the Feasibility Study update was the recognition and introduction of an improved transportation access plan. Previously, we had engineered and obtained permitting approval for a 160 km access road which would allow for outbound concentrate haulage and inbound supplies. In the fall of 2006, we determined that an alternative method was available. Shallow draft barge technology was identified which would allow the Project to utilize a much more direct route along the Taku River on a year-round basis instead of seasonally. Development of this access alternative resulted in significant savings to the Project in both capital and operating costs and contributed to its significantly improved economics.The potential change in the Project’s access mode has also resulted in an improved relationship with the Taku River Tlingit First Nation (TRTFN) who, in February 2007, signed an initial letter agreement with us covering the barge amendment Environmental Assessment process. The agreement also contemplates entering into discussions for an Impact and Benefits Agreement defining the opportunities for TRTFN participation in project benefits and environmental mitigation. Our exploration activities in Portugal centre on the advanced Lagoa Salgada exploration project which hosts a copper-zinc-lead-silver-gold massive sulphide deposit, located in the highly productive Pyrite Belt in southern Portugal. We are also evaluating an earlier stage gold prospect at Vila de Rei in central Portugal where reconnaissance work has identified potential for intrusive-related gold mineralization on the concession. Further work will concentrate on follow-up of the identified targets and delineation of drill targets. A drilling program is scheduled to commence at Lagoa Salgada in February, continuing through the first quarter of 2007.We expect 2008 to be a pivotal year in our planned transition from an advanced exploration company to a mid-tier producer in 2009.
