Teuton was formed in 1982 and has been acquiring and exploring land in the Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia (Canada) ever since. It now controls 300,000 acres of claims separated into about 30 properties and leads all other companies in ground staked.The Golden Triangle is British Columbia’s foremost gold and silver district. Two of the most famous mines within the region are the Premier mine discovered in 1918 and the Eskay Creek mine discovered in 1989. The Eskay Creek mine is considered to be the richest gold and silver VMS deposit in the world.Recently, the region has become even more prominent due to the discovery of very large gold and gold-copper deposits in the Sulphurets area, near the center of the Golden Triangle. Two companies, Seabridge Gold and Silver Standard Resources have been spending many millions of dollars exploring for gold in the Sulphurets area in the past four years. Recent indications are that they have established combined resources equating to over 70 million ounces of gold along with several billions of pounds of copper. Potential for 100+ million ounces of gold is considered excellent.The Sulphurets area has been staked since the 1960’s, but continuations of the same geology to the north and the south were open until the early 1980’s when they were acquired by staking by Teuton. Drilling in 2009 of Teuton’s claims to the north, the Treaty Creek property, established similar interval lengths and grades to that encountered in Seabridge’s largest deposit, the Mitchell. Teuton has just begun exploration of the claims to the south, called the High property.Teuton also owns large tracts of land adjoining south of Imperial Metals promising Red Chris discovery, where Hole RC09-350 ran 152.5m averaging 4.12% copper and 8.83 g/t gold. It holds land a few hundred metres north and on strike of Decade Resources promising Red Cliff discovery. It owns royalty interests in land surrounding the Granduc mine of Bell Copper and Castle Minerals. West of the Eskay Creek mine it owns the Bonsai property where optionee Copper Creek Venture plans to spend $1.25 million in 2010 drilling a strong, coincident geophysical and geochem anomaly. Drilling in 2009 produced high-grade gold grades over good widths at its Clone property (under option to Canasia Industries) and a $750,000 program of drilling and bulk sampling is scheduled for 2010. Southeast of Great Bear’s BA property it holds the Stamp claims, now under option to Decade Resources and having similar geology to the BA. Its claims surround the Homestake gold-silver property of Bravo Ventures on three sides. Promising gold and/or silver mineralization has been found on its Tennyson, Del Norte, Harry, 4-J’s, Catspaw, Ram, Bud, Konkin Silver, Silver Bell, Bay Silver and Orion claims.Both the federal and provincial government recently approved a multi-million dollar extension of a transmission line into the heart of the Golden Triangle. This line is vital to the start-up of potential mines at Red Chris, Galore Creek, and the Sulphurets claims of Seabridge Gold and Silver Standard, all of which are currently at some stage in the permitting process.

The story of Alliance begins in 1971 when MAPCO Inc., then a Fortune 500 diversified energy company, entered the coal-production business, acquiring the Dotiki mine. This underground operation in Webster County, Kentucky, soon became, and remains to this day, one of the most productive coal mines in the country. By the time the company reached its silver anniversary, MAPCO Coal owned five mining complexes in three states — Kentucky, Illinois, and Maryland. It also owned the Mt. Vernon Facility, a rail-to-barge loading terminal on the Ohio River. Located in Indiana, the Mt. Vernon facility is capable of handling 8 million tons of coal per year. In 1996, management formed Alliance Coal Corporation and led a buyout of MAPCO Inc.'s coal operations with the financial support of The Beacon Group. Within two years, Alliance acquired Hopkins County Coal, a surface/underground operation in Hopkins County, Kentucky, and opened MC Mining, an underground mine in Pike County, Kentucky. In 1998, Alliance sold 15.1 million tons of coal and was recognized as the sixth-largest coal producer in the eastern United States. During 1999, Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. was formed, and after completion of its initial public offering as a publicly-traded master limited partnership, acquired the coal operations of Alliance Coal Corporation. The new company soon broke ground for a new underground mining complex in Gibson County, Indiana. Production began at Gibson County Coal the following year. ARLP began a $30 million extension of its Pattiki mine in southern Illinois during 2000. Construction of a new mine shaft and ancillary facilities began in 2001 at the Dotiki mining complex. Both of these projects were completed during the second quarter of 2003 and positioned Alliance Coal to meet increasing demand for its coal. In 2002, management purchased all of The Beacon Group's interest in ARLP. The acquisition was not funded or secured with any of Alliance's assets.

aseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO, NYSE AMEX: TGB) is a British Columbia based mining company. Its main assets are the 75% owned Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine, the Prosperity gold-copper project, the Harmony gold project and the early stage Aley niobium project. The Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine, located in south-central British Columbia, is a 46,000 ton per day operation with a life of mine average annual production of 100 million pounds of copper and 1.1 million pounds of molybdenum. The mine is undergoing an expansion and modernization project which will increase annual copper production capacity to 115 million pounds by 2011. The current mine life is 26 years and there are additional resources that could significantly extend the mine life. Prosperity is one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold-copper deposits. Prior to 2001, the Company had carried out extensive exploration, engineering, mine planning, environmental and socio-economic studies on Prosperity, which hosts a large porphyry gold-copper deposit amenable to large scale open pit mining. After reinitiating work on Prosperity in 2005, the Company focused on completing the feasibility study and advancing the environmental assessment. The feasibility study was completed in late 2007 and confirmed robust economics. The project received it British Columbia Provincial Environmental Assessment Certificate in January 2010. The federal panel reviewing the project just completed six weeks of public hearings and has now committed to complete its final report in early July. Final approval from the federal government is expected in September 2010. Taseko also owns the Harmony gold project, located on the west coast of BC, and the Aley niobium project, in northern BC, which provide longer-term opportunities for additional development.

African Aura's strategy is to be a 'first mover' within highly prospective and under explored geological provinces, in pursuit of the next generation of gold and iron ore mines in emerging sub-Saharan Africa. It is the significant experience of working in Africa and the ability to identify and assess the non-geological risks inherent with investing in emerging countries that distinguishes the Company as a pioneer. Once opportunities have been identified the Company employs satellite borne and geological remote sensing datasets in order to select the highest priority areas to explore. This strategy allows our teams to have the highest chance of discovering those deposits which crop-out at surface. Historically these deposits are discovered fastest, for the lowest exploration cost and are the first to become mines. In addition to our flagship New Liberty Gold and Putu Iron Ore projects, African Aura has assembled a significant portfolio of projects in Liberia and Cameroon with over 20 deposits discovered by our exploration teams to date. These discoveries create a pipeline of opportunities for the Company; being at varying stages of exploration from reconnaissance sampling through to resource definition drilling.
