----- End of picture text -----

Step 1: Consolidate Que River – positive cash flow. reconciliation trends), plan to accumulate it. Step 2: Increase cash flow - build assets Hellyer Mine Project – potentially 4 to 5 times bigger than Que River. Production target – late 2009 early 2010 ( & Pb prices ). Step 3: Growth - long-term shareholder value
