    CORPORATE UPDATE:
    Bill Mavridis, President and CEO Reports:
    -----------------------------------------
    

Our team landed in Yerevan, Armenia, on May 22, 2010 to organize the Company's corporate presence and to make the final arrangements to begin the summer work program on the Marjan Gold-Silver Project.

In the capital Yerevan, we had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Vahram Nercissyantz, Chief Economic Advisor to the President of Armenia and Dr. Areg Galstyan, First Deputy Minister of Energy and Mines of Armenia. At the local level, near the Marjan project, we met with Mr. Souren Khachatryan, the Governor of Syunik Province of Armenia, and Mr. Samvel Tangyan, the representative of the Governor of Syunik in the town of Sissian, Armenia.

While in Armenia we had the opportunity to take some pictures and record some video of discussions with the people we met and scenes around town. The photo and video gallery should be up shortly.

The welcome and support that we received at the ministerial and local level is an example of the hospitality and support other Canadian mining companies can expect. Armenia is definitely a mining friendly jurisdiction.

A special thanks goes out to Prof. Azat Vartanian, the President of the Armenia-Canada Chamber of Commerce (www.armcanchamber.com) and our Consultant in Armenia, for all his hard work and support in establishing our business in Armenia.

Our Vice-President, Mining and Development and Qualified Person for the Corporation, Mr. Jim Steel MBA P.Geo., visited the core shack in Melikgiugh, Armenia, to evaluate and sample drill core from the northern zone of the Marjan Gold-Silver project. He also visited the Marjan site to set up and supervise the Phase I sampling program on the Marjan Central and Marjan North zones.

At the Marjan Central zone, the Phase I program entails remapping and resampling of historical trenches, roadcuts, and outcrop. Samples are based not only on surface outcrop and trench vein exposures but also on areas of intense hydrothermal alteration and rock textures indicative of potential mineralization. Prospecting will be done to evaluate other intensely altered areas outside of the main Central zone mineralization.

At the Marjan North zone, we have commenced a detailed geochemical study of a conglomerate hosted gold target that outcrops to the south of the main vein system. Initial mapping has identified the presence of scattered zones of silicification and pyritization in a structural setting similar to other areas that have been found to contain anomalous gold mineralization.

Samples will be taken using a handheld diamond drill, which extracts a core some 2.5 cm in diameter over a depth of two to three meters, or deeper where geology and ground conditions permit. Samples are taken on a 25m square grid over the exposed conglomerate outcrop, which extends some 150m north-south and 250m east-west.

Sampling is also planned for the extension of the conglomerate target under glacial cover to the south; to the east, where scattered outcrops of conglomerate and undifferentiated sediments are seen over an additional 400m distance; and to the west to the contact of the conglomerate unit with the quartz monzonite intrusive host of the Marjan Northern zone of massive sulphide veins.

Once this is complete, sampling and mapping efforts will move to the surface expressions of the 25 different massive-sulphide veins identified in previous works on the northern zone. Massive-sulphide veins are hosted with diorite porphryry dikes intruding andesite volcanics. These sit in apparent conformable contact with the above-mentioned conglomerate unit.

Samples will be shipped to Activation Laboratories Inc. in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada for assay.

We anticipate that a review of the results will confirm potential drill targets, with Phase I drilling anticipated to start by mid-September 2010.
