The business uses the skills of a core team of talented geoscientists to identify resource targeting new provinces with the potential to make worldprojects capable of yielding world class discoveries of attractive class discoveries. The exploration concepts are often novel. commodities. While increased metal prices and advances in technology
The Company is currently involved in the search for safe high grade, high-yielding production operations in which to invest the bulk of its available cash resources.

Archer Resources has commenced a seed raising to raise $1.5 m by the issue of 30 million shares @ 5 cents per share. A significant portion of the funds raised will be used in a new drilling program at Ban Ban with the aim of delivering a JORC compliant resource within 12 months. Funds will also be spent to advance exploration at key project areas such as Mt. Abbot, Calgoa, Three Sisters, Gayndah and Pinnacle. Initial review will also be commenced on new tenements at Great Blackall and Hawkwood. Sophisticated Investors interested in participating in the Archer Resources seed raising can contact the Company Secretary for further information.
