Byron Capital Markets Launches Lithium Index

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
Byron Capital Markets, a division of Byron Securities Limited, is pleased
to announce the official launch of the Byron Capital Markets Lithium
Index.

The index is a market-capitalization weighted index of representative
companies which are exploring for, or developing, lithium properties as
their primary business focus. The component companies are public and
traded on the TSX Venture exchange, The Australian Stock Exchange, or the
U.S. Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, and each has a market
capitalization of less than USD$500 million. Relevant companies are
continually reviewed for possible inclusion or exclusion from the index,
with any addition or deletion of component companies made at the end of
every month.

This index can be viewed at the following address:

We are very excited about the introduction of the Byron Capital Markets
Lithium Index as another example of our ongoing efforts and commitment to
this emerging market segment.
