Playfair is changing focus to concentrate in the near term on a new copper silver opportunity in the Seal Lake basin. Acquired, by 100% staking, in 673 claims covering 16,825 hectares in the Seal Lake area of Central Labrador. The property covers some 136 copper and copper-silver occurrences including 16 copper-silver showings and 9 copper silver prospects, all discovered mainly via prospecting in the 1950's. Almost all the showings and prospects occur within a consistent and laterally extensive stratigraphic interval - the basal gray shale of the Upper Adeline Island Formation. The copper-silver enriched Adeline Island Formation is believed to form a canoe shape, with the rock unit outcropping over an estimated area measuring about 33km long by up to 4.4km wide. Playfair's Seal Lake Copper Silver Project covers the entire mapped extent of the favourable sedimentary unit and its probable subsurface continuation. The mineralization and geology of this new project is similar to the Kupferschiefer type copper-silver deposits that are the focus of ongoing work at Hana Mining's Ghanzi property in Botswana.Playfair continues to believe that there is a strong case for an upcoming global Tungsten shortage. With four high-grade Tungsten deposits Playfair remains well positioned to take advantage of the expected upcoming global Tungsten shortage and associated Tungsten price increase.

Altius is a natural resource project generation and royalty business based in the province of Newfoundland & Labrador. Altius is focused on the mining and resources sector through prospect generation, the creation and acquisition of royalties and investments. The Corporation has a strong financial position with approximately $194 million in cash and liquid investments and no debt. Altius owns an effective 0.3% net smelter return in the producing Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper-cobalt mine located in Labrador, Canada and has numerous active mineral exploration agreements principally in eastern Canada targeting a variety of mineral commodities. In addition, the Corporation holds investments in junior exploration and development stage companies. The Company prefers to generate partnerships or corporate structures related to the opportunities it generates, which results in the Corporation carrying minority and non-operating project or equity interests and/or royalty interests. Since inception in 1997, our business model and operating philosophy have consistently delivered increased value for shareholders of Altius through cyclical market conditions. The company has built a solid reputation around its percentage of successful mineral project generation initiatives that it intends to further build upon. While the market sentiment for the natural resources sector was somewhat turbulent in 2009 our Company is well prepared to embrace the opportunities of market volatility and/or a down-cycle. Going forward Altius intends to grow its business through its; 1) organic mineral exploration business focused in eastern Canada, 2) exportation of its proven prospect generator business model to other choice jurisdictions, and 3) to prudently deploy its capital in royalty-like investment opportunities throughout the minerals sector. Altius prospered through the last bear cycle because its business plan inherently preserves capital structure and manages risk, thus there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future of Altius and its expanding business strategy.

Algeria is the second largest country in Africa (by area) with a population of 30 million. During 2000, Algeria embarked on a new series of reforms to open up the private sector and provide a supportive and transparent environment to encourage foreign investment. A new mining law was promulgated and a new privatisation act signified the intent of the Algerian government to attract foreign entrepreneurship into the domestic mining sector and exploit its potential. A key part of the new mining law was the rescinding of the 49 per cent. limit on the level of foreign participation when entering into a formal association with an Algerian state enterprise to exploit strategic deposits such as gold.GMA was incorporated in Australia on 17 May 2002 for the purpose of participating in a tendering process for the acquisition of a 52 per cent. interest in an Algerian based company, ENOR, the beneficiary of the Tirek-Amesmessa gold project in the Sahara of southern Algeria. Following an international tender launched by ENOR for the development and operation of the Tirek-Amesmessa permit (the "Tender"), GMA was chosen as the successful bidder.ENOR is a société par actions (limited company) incorporated under Algerian law. The major shareholders are the state owned oil company Sonatrach (34 per cent.), Banque d'Algérie (34 per cent.), Société Algérienne d'Assurance (18 per cent.) and Enterprise Nationale des Produits Non-Ferreux et Des Substances Utiles (10 per cent.).ENOR currently holds an exploitation permit dated 21 October 1992 granted by the Algerian Ministry of Energy and Mines for a period of 20 years (from 10 February 1993) over an area of approximately 1400 km2 containing the Tirek gold mine, the Amesmessa gold deposit and various other prospects and mineralised occurrences within the property known as the ZITA or intermediate zone between Tirek and Amesmessa. The exploitation permit area is located approximately 400 km south west of the city of Tamanrasset in the Hoggar region of Southern Algeria. The Tirek-Amesmessa goldfield was discovered by the Algerian government agency ORGM in the 1970s. Following prospecting and sampling exploration programs in the permit area in the late 1980's and early 1990's by ORGM, ENOR was formed for the purpose of developing and bringing the Tirek and Amesmessa gold deposits into production. Following legislative reforms in Algeria, including the passing of the new mining law and privatisation act in 2001, GMA won the Tender and subsequently entered into the Subscription Agreement.
