African Minerals Limited (“the Company”, “African Minerals”, or “AML”), the mineral exploration and development company with significant iron ore and base metal interests in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The Company holds an extensive portfolio of mineral rights in Sierra Leone, a country in which it has been actively investing since 2003. Sierra Leone is a mineral rich country which has been largely unexplored and has recovered quickly from a period of instability. Elections held in Sierra Leone during 2007 resulted in a smooth handover of power demonstrating a successful African democracy. African Minerals completed the country’s first aeromagnetic survey during 2004 and subsequent exploration programmes and multi-element sampling analysis have resulted in the Company assembling a large mineral exploration portfolio in Sierra Leone. The Company is particularly excited by the progress at its flagship project, the Tonkolili iron ore project, where a JORC compliant magnetite resource of 10.5 Billion tonnes has been prepared by SRK Consulting (UK) Limited. This is the world’s largest reported JORC compliant magnetite iron ore mineral resource and African Minerals is in a very strong position to realise the full potential of the Project and compete alongside leading iron ore producers in supplying international steel markets. Additional exploration activities at Tonkolili have also confirmed the potential for 800 Million tonnes of hematite mineralisation. The Company signed a lease agreement with the Government of Sierra Leone in November 2008 over key rail and port infrastructure. Dependent upon the results of engineering studies, the Company will refurbish and construct rail and port facilities to accommodate its iron ore production and shipping capacity requirements and provide third party access at commercial rates.

Afri-Can Marine Minerals Corporation is a Canadian exploration and development company, actively involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of major mineral properties in Namibia. We target large marine diamond deposits in prospective areas of this politically stable country.We rely on the strength of our management and geological teams. We create strategic partnerships with partners who share our vision for development of potentially significant, low risk mineral deposits. Afri-Can has an experienced, well-balanced Board of Directors with expertise in finance, business management and exploration.Implementation of Afri-Can's business strategy takes an innovative scientific approach. Our exploration team is one of the most knowledgeable in the marine diamond exploration industry, with combined marine geological experience of over 120 years.Afri-Can's most advanced project is the Woduna (Block J) Concession. Block J hosts several marine diamond depositional areas. Our systematic approach has led to the discovery of three large marine diamond deposits on Block J. These diamond deposits are similar to other major marine deposits that produce in excess of 1 million carats a year. Importantly, 95% of the diamonds recovered off the coast of Namibia are of gem quality, the highest percentage in the world.Diamond potential is estimated at to up to 1.8 million carats on one of the Block J mineralized areas in a recent Afri-Can technical report. We have commissioned a quantitative sampling programme to establish an inferred diamond resource on Block J in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The programme is scheduled for completion by the end of 2008.

PhosCan Chemical Corp. is a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed company which is engaged in the development of the Martison Phosphate Project, which consists of the Martison Phosphate Deposit and a planned phosphate mine, beneficiation plant, phosphoric acid plant and solid fertilizer production facility. Managed by a proven development team within extensive experience in both the mining and chemical disciplines, the Company is focused on developing this vertically-integrated phosphate fertilizer complex.The Martison Phosphate Deposit is located 70 kilometres north of Hearst, Ontario. If the Martison Project is successfully developed, phosphate ore from the mine will be processed into a concentrate in the beneficiation plant. The concentrate will be transported by slurry pipeline to a phosphoric acid plant near Hearst where it will be combined with sulphuric acid to produce phosphoric acid. Sulphuric acid is expected to be sourced either from existing nearby base metal smelters or a sulphuric acid plant which would be built by the Company. PhosCan will further process the phosphoric acid into superphosphoric acid (SPA) and/or mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizer which will be sold to fertilizer dealers serving the agricultural regions of western Canada and mid-western United States. The Company's proposed operations will be strategically located in proximity to these target markets with ready access to excellent infrastructure including rail, power and labour.
