AS Project
 Our 50/50 joint venture consists of 27 licenses covering a total of 58,642 hectares. Work to date has concentrated on the AS property, which has two exploration licenses covering approximately 8,000 hectares. This property, discovered during a reconnaissance program in 2001 and 2002, is a porphyry-style gold-molybdenum-copper deposit. The geology consists of mid- to late-Tertiary multiple intrusives into Paleozoic metamorphic rocks and earlier Tertiary volcanics. Porphyry-style stockwork mineralization is located in the intrusives, with quartz tourmaline alteration present in the intrusives and quartz alunite alteration present in the volcanics. Coincident with the mineralization and alteration is a well-defined gold-molybdenum-copper soil anomaly that defines a "bull's eye" target over the most altered and mineralized intrusive. The surface extent of this anomaly is approximately 1,500 meters east-west by 600 meters north-south. We are encouraged by this property due to the similarity in alteration styles when compared with the Kisladag Project. In 2004, we completed the permitting and construction of six kilometers of roads through the center of the anomaly for mapping, sampling and drill access. Initial drilling and geochemical work was conducted in 2005. In 2006 the company continued drilling, mapping and geochemical work.
