Callinan Mines derives significant revenue from an historic royalty interest in the world class 777 copper-zinc mine. The company is also an active base metals explorer, dedicated to continuing a tradition of successful exploration that began in 1927. The company is able to use the income from their royalty stream to keep dilution low as they develop high potential exploration properties in Manitoba and British Columbia. Exploration is currently underway on targets prospective for nickel, copper and precious metals.

Callinan enjoyed its first year of positive net income in 2009, earning $4.3 million, and is looking forward to building on that success in 2010.

Exeter Resource Corporation (NYSE-AMEX: XRA, TSX: XRC) is one of the most successful exploration and mine development companies operating in South America.  NI43-101 inferred resources total 21.2 million ounces gold and 4,800 million pounds copper between three projects. Exeter has Cdn$30 million in cash, no debt and three principal assets: the Caspiche gold-copper porphyry discovery, the Cerro Moro high-grade gold-silver deposit, and the Don Sixto gold deposit. Six drill rigs are currently operating to extend the Caspiche and Cerro Moro deposits, and upgrade “inferred” resources to “indicated” status. New mineral resource estimates, using all new drilling data will be available in 2010. The Cerro Moro discovery has +700 drill holes defining a high grade gold-silver vein system within an established mining district in Argentina.  Current drilling to upgrade the July 2009 resource estimate will lead to a 2010 scoping study setting out mine development options. The objective is to establish the economics of a 100,000 oz/yr (gold equivalent) mine at an initial head grade of +15 g/t gold (gold equivalent). The Caspiche discovery with a NI43-101inferred resource of 19.6 million ounces gold and 4,800 million pounds copper is very recent. Three drill rigs are operating on a 24 hour basis to further define the discovery.  Engineering programs have commenced to provide data for conceptual mine development studies in 2010.

  3. Explore the nearby Brauna gold occurrence;
