Etruscan is in the business of acquiring, exploring, developing, and producing gold from properties primarily in West Africa. Etruscan has invested 15 years into building a comprehensive land portfolio in Africa. West Africa is geographically endowed with some of the most prolific green stone belts in the world. The region has a proven track record of producing gold mines; however, exploration is in its infancy with first generation discoveries all made by surface geochemistry. Second generation discoveries await. Etruscan has secured strategic land positions covering over 9,000 km2 on a number of known gold belts in four countries in West Africa. This package represents one of the largest strategic land packages held by any mining company operating in West Africa. Etruscan has a demonstrated track record of making strategic discoveries and acquisitions and taking projects through to production.Etruscan's most advanced gold project is the Youga Gold Project located in Burkina Faso. Production at the mine commenced in February 2008 and commercial production was achieved on July 1, 2008. Gold production for fiscal 2008 which comprised the five months of commercial production ended November 30, 2008 totaled 29,305 ounces and in 2009 totaled 64,879 ounces. This mine is forecast to produce an average of 88,000 ounces per year over the 6.6 year mine life. Forecasted gold production for 2010 is targeted at 80,000 ounces at cash costs of US$550-650 per ounce. The Youga Gold Project is located on the 80 kilometer strike length of the Youga gold belt which extends to the southwest into Ghana along the Bole-Bolgatanga gold belt. Etruscan controls in excess of 400 km2 along the Youga/Bole-Bolgatanga gold belts. Etruscan believes future growth will come from developing satellite deposits along the Youga gold belt to be processed at the centrally located Youga processing facility. Etruscan holds a 90% interest in the Youga Gold Project with the remaining interest held by the Burkinabe government.Etruscan's second most advanced project is its Agbaou Gold Project which covers 469 km2 giving Etruscan control of the 40 kilometer strike length of the Oumé-Fêtêkro gold belt. Agbaou is one of the largest undeveloped gold resources in Côte d'Ivoire. A feasibility study update for the Agbaou Gold Project titled "Feasibility Update Study Report on the Agbaou Gold Project, Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa" prepared by MDM Engineering International Ltd. and Coffey Mining Pty Ltd. was completed in September, 2009. Using a gold price of $1,000 per ounce, the base case scenario in the feasibility study concludes that Agbaou will produce an average of 77,000 ounces of gold per year at a cash operating cost of US$516 per ounce over a 9.1 year mine life. The feasibility study is based on probable reserves of 10.9 million tonnes of ore with an average grade of 2.1 grams per tonne containing 665,000 ounces.

Talvivaara Mining Company Plc. is an internationally significant base metals producer with its primary focus on nickel and zinc. Talvivaara´s main asset is the Talvivaara nickel mine in Sotkamo, Finland. The Talvivaara polymetallic deposits, Kuusilampi and Kolmisoppi, comprise one of the largest known sulphide nickel resources in Europe with 642 million tonnes of ore in measured and indicated categories, sufficient to support an anticipated production for at 46 years. Production at the mine started in October 2008 with the precipitation of the first metal sulphides. The planned annual nickel production of 50,000 tonnes is anticipated to be reached in 2012. As by-products the mine will also produce aprox. 90,000 tpa of zinc, aprox.15,000 tpa of copper and c.1,800 tpa of cobalt. The Group supplies metal intermediaries to companies with metal refining operations and has entered into a 10-year off-take agreement with Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta Oy for the entire output of the mine's nickel and cobalt production at market prices.On the 25th of January 2010 Talvivaara entered into a long-term Zinc in concentrate streaming agreement with Nyrstar NV. Talvivaara will deliver all of its Zinc in concentrate production to Nyrstar until 1,250,000 metric tonnes has been delivered. Click here to read the Stock Exchange Release. Talvivaara applies bioheapleaching to extract the metals from ore. The Group demonstrated the viability of this technology first on large on-site pilot trials using the Talvivaara ore and subsequently, since July 2008, in production scale heaps. The leaching process has been shown to be heat generating and therefore suitable for the sub-arctic climatic conditions of Eastern Finland.The Talvivaara ore body is well-suited for open pit mining due to thin overburden, favourable resource geometry and a low waste to ore ratio. The ore is relatively low grade, but well-suited to bioleaching due to its high sulphide content.

Cypress Development Corp. is a Canadian gold, silver and base metals exploration company developing projects in Red Lake, Ontario, Canada, and in Nevada, U.S.A. Cypress holds a 100% interest in the approximately 1140 acre Gunman Zinc- Silver Project located in White Pine County, northeast of Eureka, Nevada. Three RC drill programs totaling approx. 38,000 feet have been completed by Cypress on the Gunman project with significant grades between 5% to 33% per ton zinc and 0.5 to 15.0 oz per ton silver over considerable widths encountered. Zinc could represent the next big base metal play due to ongoing demand growth and the closures of 3 major mines in Canada, Australia and Ireland and not enough supply coming on stream from new projects. Sentiment could shift towards zinc, with prices potentially rallying in anticipation of tightening supplies. Cypress holds a 100% interest in The McKenzie Island property located west and adjacent toGoldcorp's Cochenour / Bruce Channel Deposit . The project is also on strike with the currently producing Goldcorp (TSX: G) Red Lake and Campbell gold mines 7 kilometres to the east.
