St Andrew Goldfields Ltd.("SAS" or the "Company"), is a Canadian based gold mining, and exploration Company with an extensive land package in the Timmins mining district, Northeastern Ontario, Canada, which lies within the world famous Abitibi greenstone belt.SAS commenced production at its Holloway Mine in October 2009, its Hislop Project entered production in Q2, 2010, and in the second half of this year, the Company will start development work at the Holt Mine to bring it into production by the start of 2011.With the steady cash flow that production from these projects will generate, SAS can advance its exploration activities on this exciting 120 km long package which straddles the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone ("PDFZ") host to numerous gold deposits and mines in the region. The Company, using its extensive geological database, is targeting exploration at numerous sites and has focussed the 2010 exploration program to target areas that lie in close proximity to the existing mines and infrastructure, and to follow up on advanced exploration projects to add to the resource and reserve levels. Other targets include areas where limited drilling has returned anomalous gold values and an assortment of conceptual targets. SAS has proven it can survive the turbulence of bad markets, and negative impacts. With a NEW image, NEW management team and a NEW focus, our shareholders will be rewarded by our efforts to improve the quality of the Company through production and future growth through continued exploration and development.

Banro is constructing a "Phase 1" gold mine at its wholly-owned Twangiza gold property located near the city of Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the "DRC"). Scheduled for completion in late 2011, this gold operation is designed to produce 100,000 + ounces of gold per year, with future expansion to 300,000 + ounces of gold per annum. With Proven and Probable Reserves of 4.54 million ounces of gold, Twangiza already hosts a major gold resource and offers several promising new targets for exploration and future resource expansion, including Ntula, Mufwa, Tshondo, Luhwindja and Kaziba. The results of a full feasibility study of Twangiza were announced in January 2009 and updated in June 2009. Banro's pipeline includes three additional, wholly-owned properties, each with mining licenses, along the 210 kilometre long northeast to southwest trending Twangiza-Namoya gold belt in the DRC. Banro's second major project is Namoya, where a scoping study was completed in July 2007; the Namoya Pre-Feasibility study is due for completion in 2010. Exploration is also ongoing at Lugushwa, where a Scoping Study is planned for completion in 2010. A "desktop" analysis of the Kamituga project was completed in 2009 and it is planned to begin exploration at Kamituga in 2010. The Company has so far identified 6.72 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Resources, plus Inferred Resources of 4.46 million ounces. In addition to its current properties, which have mining licenses and cover 2,613 square kilometers, Banro in 2007 was awarded 14 exploration permits covering 2,638 square kilometres and located on highly prospective ground between its Twangiza and Lugushwa projects. Applications for additional PRs contiguous to and located between the Company's Lugushwa and Namoya projects, along with areas south of Twangiza, are pending.

Rusoro Mining has come to the conclusion that gold may be worth a lot of money. The company was formed in 2006 when Grupo Agapov took over a software company called Newton Ventures and changed its name. Rusoro since then has bought several mining properties in Venezuela from the likes of Gold Fields and Hecla Mining. (In 2008 it also tried but failed to buy Gold Reserve.) Rusoro now operates two producing mines and two mills; it also owns other properties in the development stage. All of these properties are located in Venezuela's gold-rich Bolivar state. The company controls more than 2 million ounces of proved and probable reserves.
