programs. The strong management team has positioned the Company to
benefit from the global financial crisis, by focusing on new gold
discoveries and by seeking potential gold production. We have a portfolio
of 7 gold projects in Peru, and we are finalizing terms for a regional
exploration alliance with Kinross, the fifth largest gold producer, to
explore for new gold deposits in Peru. We are also pursuing acquisitions
of advanced-stage gold resources with potential for near-term production.
This combination of new gold exploration and potential gold production
makes this a very exciting opportunity."
