    About Caldera
    -------------
    

The Corporation's main business is the acquisition, exploration and development of gold projects in South-eastern Europe and Armenia. Caldera is currently developing the Marjan Gold-Silver Project in southern Armenia.

    
    The Marjan Gold-Silver Project
    ------------------------------
    

The Marjan Gold-Silver project has two distinct zones, referred to as the Northern Zone and the Central Zone. The Central Zone of the Marjan Project was extensively explored between 1964 and 1989, and has Soviet-era GKZ standard resources as outlined below:

The Northern Zone and Central Zone were also explored by the previous operator, who spent over US$3M on the project between 2005 and 2008. Resources from the Northern Zone will be reviewed by an independent geologist and will be reported on the completion of the summer work program.

The resource estimate was published by Poghosyan N. F. in a 1995 report titled Marjan Gold - Silver - Polymetallic Property, State Committee for Reserves of Armenia, Sisian Geological Exploration Group, Yerevan, Armenia. Blocks of all categories are defined using a dry density of 2.87 g/cm3, a minimum thickness of 0.4 metres, and a cut-off of 1.2 g/t of gold.

    Marjan Gold-Silver Project Summer Work Program
    ----------------------------------------------
    

The Corporation will embark on a summer development program on the Marjan Gold-Silver project. The goal of the program is to complete the groundwork necessary to quantify gold and silver resources on the property.

The program will include the assimilation all previous exploration/development works into a block model of Marjan mineralization and subsequent development of a mine plan and initial project economics as part of a scoping study. Also the Corporation will resample known vein zones on surface; develop drill targets to bring existing Soviet P1 prospecting resources into 43-101 compliant inferred resources.

The summer development program will also include exploration on a new target zones outlined in our recently completed Marjan due diligence program. The program will collect approximately 6 tonnes of samples and up to 2000 meters of drilling.

    
    Lichkvaz-Tey Gold Project
    -------------------------
    

Caldera is also pursuing the acquisition of the Lichkvaz-Tey Gold Project with its strategic partner, BacTech Mining Corporation (tsx-v: BM). The gold resources of the Lichkvaz-Tey project are refractory and require the use of BacTech's proprietary bioleaching technology so as to increase recovery. The project is currently owned by the Armenian government.
