  TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 12 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
AGORACOM, a leading online financial community focusing on the small-cap
and mid-cap markets, today announced the launch of its online investor
conference initiative that will begin with the AGORACOM Online Gold &
Commodities Conference on December 3rd and 4th, 2009.

    The online nature of the conference will allow investors, both retail and
institutional, to connect with small and mid-cap resource companies
faster, better and cheaper than traditional investor conferences thanks
to the elimination of all expenses related to travel, lodging, materials
and time away from work. 

    GLOBAL INVESTORS PARTICIPATING FROM THEIR OFFICES AND HOMES

    Using the AGORACOM Conference platform, presenting companies, attending
investors and keynote speakers will all participate from the comfort of
their offices and homes. As a result, the conference will be comprised of
a global audience vs. a local audience, which is expected to draw
investors from more than 20 countries.

    AGORACOM Founder, George Tsiolis, stated "Having already pioneered online
investor relations, it just made complete sense to pioneer online
investment conferences for the small and mid-cap space. Our survey data
clearly shows that investors use the web as their primary tool to
research and find new investments. What is really exciting is the fact
that investors living outside of the established but small group of North
American conference cities will finally have an opportunity to
participate and benefit from a Tier-1 investor conference. With gold
trading at all-time highs and other commodities enjoying a bullish
market, I expect to have investors from more than 20 countries
participating in our inaugural event".

    PRESENTING COMPANIES

    The conference will focus on emerging small and mid-cap resource
companies who are required to have demonstrated excellence through a
combination of one or more of the following:

    - Experienced management

    - Proven reserves via 43-101

    - Strong prospective projects via publicly announced drill results

    - Balance sheet strength

    - Imminent or actual production.

    AGORACOM is limiting the total number of presenting companies to 50.
Currently, over 25 companies have committed to the conference, leaving
approximately 25 spots available. Presenting companies will be active in
industries that include precious metals, base metals, rare metals, oil &
gas and clean energy technologies.
