Gold and Mining Stocks; Preliminary Results from the Deep Hole Program Confirms Extension of Gold Mineralization 800 Metres Down Plunge and 900 Metres Vertical Depth - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSX-V: GBB)

VANCOUVER - July 9, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") is pleased to announce preliminary drill results from holes and wedge holes located to the north of the existing mineralized area of the Granada Gold Property. The subject property is located along the prolific Cadillac trend in North-western Quebec, 5 km south of the city of Rouyn-Noranda.

Frank Basa, Gold Bullion's CEO, is very encouraged by results that consistently demonstrate the presence of widespread significant gold on the Granada property. Hole DUP-12-02 intercepted 4.15 grams Au per tonne over a 3 metre core length at 615 metres and 4.58 grams per tonne Au over 3 metres at 995 metres depth.
The drill plan initially called for three deep holes with one wedge in each hole and commenced with hole DUP-12-03. Due to excessive deviation, this hole was subsequently abandoned at the 400-metre level. Hole DUP-12-03A, located 400 metres NNE (12 degrees North) of hole GR-11-390 was drilled just 25 metres to the west of DUP-12-03 and down to a depth of 1,323 metres. Three wedge holes W1, W2 and W3 were put into DUP-12-03A.
Hole DUP-12-02, located 830 metres NNE (24 degrees North) of hole GR-11-390, was drilled down to 1,593 metres with one wedge hole added, W1.
Due to the success of DUP-12-03A, DUP-12-02 and the associated wedges, (observation of visible gold and typical alteration zones) and in conjunction with the observation of visible gold in the western extension holes GR-11-375 and GR-11-363 in the backlog program, the drill was reassigned to the western extension to further evaluate near surface mineralization and hole DUP-12-01 drilling was temporarily put on hold.
The following table contains the highlights of the preliminary results. These additional gold fire assay results continue to demonstrate low grade, high tonnage, near surface intersections while also confirming specific high-grade zones at depth with thickness and grade suitable for underground mining.
Core length close to true thickness
Blanks and standards were inserted into the sequence at the QA/QC Laboratory while the 50-gram fire assay results were provided by Accurassay Laboratory prepared in Rouyn. Fire assays were conducted at their facility in Ontario.
Frank Basa, Gold Bullion's CEO, is pleased as results continue to demonstrate the presence of widespread significant gold on the Granada property in support of the hypothesis encompassing both a low grade near surface mine and a higher grade underground mine.

Gold Stocks; Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSX-V: GBB) files counter-claim against Genivar Inc.

VANCOUVER - July 4, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") today announced that it had filed a counter-claim against Genivar Inc. before the Superior Court of Quebec (500-17-070970-127). In its counter-claim, Gold Bullion is claiming the amount of $25,431,906.10 in damages from Genivar as a result of the failure by the latter to properly perform its contractual obligations in relation to the Granada and Castle Mines projects. In the same proceeding, Gold Bullion also denied owing the amount of $783,652.06 which Genivar is claiming.

"No company ever wants to have to file a claim of this nature before the Courts," said Frank Basa , President and CEO of Gold Bullion Development Corp., "but we believe we had no other alternative in the matter. Genivar's failure to properly perform the work it was hired for in relation to the Granada and Castle Mines caused us substantial damages and the loss of at least one very interesting business opportunity."
The respective claims will now make their way through the Quebec Court system, where Gold Bullion firmly intends to assert its rights.

Graphite Stocks Alert: LOMIKO (TSX.V: LMR, OTC: LMRMF) RECEIVES DRILLING PERMIT FOR QUATRE MILLES GRAPHITE PROPERTY

Vancouver BC - June 22, 2012 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX-V:LMR, OTC: LMRMF, FSE: DH8B www.lomiko.com) (the "Company") announces that Lomiko has received a drilling permit and is preparing for the upcoming drilling at the Quatre Milles East Property.

Consul-Teck has proposed a budget of $307, 028 for Phase I and a contingent $724,041 for Phase II for work for the property in the technical report. Lomiko's drilling will focus on verifying the areas of historical high-grade graphite intersected previously by Graphicor on the property. The historical results are detailed below. It is Lomiko's goal to complete both Phase I & II and establish a flake graphite resource at the Quatre Milles Property by December 2012.
Future Markets Inc published "The World Market for Graphene" in October 2011. A summary of the Report's contents indicates:
"Graphene has moved swiftly from the research laboratory to the marketplace, driven by demand from markets where advanced materials are required. These include the aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy storage, solar, oil service, and lubricant sectors. The distinctive electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of graphene make it a potentially disruptive technology across a raft of industries. In 2010, there were over 400 patents issued on graphene and 3,000 research papers published. The European Union is funding a 10 year 1,000 million euro coordination action on graphene. South Korea is set to spend $350 million on commercialization initiatives and the United Kingdom has announced investment of £50million in a new commercialization hub."
Lomiko Metals In conjunction with Visual Capitalist has developed a Graphene Infographic for the use of investors.

Lomiko's Quatre Milles Graphite Property
The Quatre Milles Property is road accessible and is located approximately 175 km northwest of Montreal and 17 km due north of the village of Sainte-Veronique, Quebec. The property consists of 28 contiguous claims totaling approximately 1,600 hectares.
The property was originally staked and explored by Graphicor Resources Inc. ("Graphicor") in the summer of 1989 based on the results of a regional helicopter-borne EM survey. The underlying geology consists of intercalated biotite gneiss, biotite feldspar gneiss, marble, quartzite and calc-silicate lithologies of the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Province.
Historical Highlights
Graphicor completed reconnaissance mapping and prospecting as well as ground geophysics and a 26 hole diamond drill program totaling 1,625 metres. The work identified several conductive trends in the central portion of the property and at least three, relatively flat lying graphitic beds. Three surface samples were collected and analyzed returning results of 14.16% Cgf, 18.06% Cgf and 20.35% Cgf. 23 of the initial 26 drill holes intersected graphite concentrations with graphite concentration in range of 4.69% in hole Q90-1 to a highlight of 8.07% Cgf over 28.60 metres in hole Q90-7. The highest individual assay was reported in hole Q90-10 reporting 15.48% Cgf over 0.50 metres. A table of results from the 43-101 indicates:
The Company cautions that it has not had the chance to verify the quality and accuracy of the historic sampling and drilling results reported in this news release which predate the introduction of NI 43-101 and cautions readers not to rely upon them. The historic figures were generated from sources believed to be reliable, however, they have not been confirmed. Although the sampling and drilling results are relevant, they have not been verified.
Graphite Market

• The price for flake graphite is $ 2000-$4000 per tonne depending on flake size and grade.
• Graphite prices have been increasing in recent months and over the last couple of years prices for large flake, high purity graphite (+80 mesh, 94-97%C) have more than doubled.
• Graphite prices have almost tripled since 2005 due to the ongoing industrialization of China, India and other emerging economies and resultant strong demand from traditional steel and automotive markets.
• Demand for graphite is expected to rise as electric vehicles and lithium battery technology are adopted, nuclear reactors are built in China, and if fuel cells and graphene patents become products.
• China, which produces about 70 per cent of the world's graphite, is seeing production and export growth leveling, and export taxes and a licensing system have been instituted.
• Europe and the USA have both indicated graphite is of economic importance and has a supply risk (Critical Raw Materials for the EU, July 2010).

Graphite Facts

• Natural graphite comes in several forms: flake, vein, amorphous and lump.
• Southwestern Quebec is host to some of the most favorable geological terrain for graphite exploration in Canada and is known to host graphite resources, including the nearby Lac Des Iles mine operated by Timcal.
• Graphite has many important new applications such as lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and nuclear and solar power that have the potential to create significant incremental demand growth.
• There is roughly 20-30 times more graphite by weight needed to produce a lithium-ion battery than there is lithium.
• Of the 1.2 million tonnes of graphite produced annually, approximately 40 per cent is of the most desirable flake type.
li> High-growth, high-value graphite applications require large-flake and high-purity graphite which is the prime exploration and development target at the Quatre Milles Property.

Near-Term Strategy
Lomiko plans to mount an aggressive exploration campaign on the Quatre Milles Graphite Property commencing with a complete compilation of historic geologic work followed by surface mapping, prospecting and follow-up diamond drilling.

Gold and Mining Stocks; Gold Bullion (TSX-V: GBB) announces additional positive drill data update

VANCOUVER - June 19, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") is pleased to announce additional drill results from several holes located throughout the mineralized area of the Granada Gold Property. The subject property is located along the prolific Cadillac trend in northwestern Quebec , 5 km south of the city of Rouyn-Noranda.

Of the 17 holes, 14 reported significant gold mineralization with hole GR-11-389 at 0.53 g/t Au over 95.0 metres from 72.0 metres to 167.0 metres confirming continuity of the mineralized package near surface inclusive of three discrete higher-grade zones. Hole GR-11-389 was drilled in the Southeast direction to confirm mineralization and assist in the exact positioning of the NNE fault displacing the mineralized blocks between sections.
These assay results are from the 2011 drill program and continue to demonstrate low-grade, high tonnage, near surface intersections while confirming specific high-grade zone at depth with thickness and grade suitable for underground mining.
Highlights include GR-11-260 with 4.87 g/t Au over 3.89 metres at depth while near surface hole GR-11-272 reported 0.39 g/t Au over 129.0 metres from 112.0 metres to 241.0 metres. Gold Bullion's CEO Frank Basa is very encouraged by results that consistently demonstrate the presence of widespread significant gold mineralization on the Granada property. Further details on the mineralized holes inclusive of substantive drill data are summarized in the table below.
Only three holes, GR-11-364, GR-11-251 and E-11-06 did not cut significant mineralization as follows: GR-11-364 was northwest and too short to intersect the zone while both GR-11-251 and E-11-06 were intended to test the Eastern extension and may not have been suitably located to cut the zones due to the NE shift of mineralized blocks caused by the NNE Faults.
Additional assay results are pending and will be released as they become available.

Investor Relations Agreement Terminated
The Company also announces it has provided 30 days' notice to terminate, effective July 15, 2012 , the Investor Relations Agreement dated September 10, 2009 wherein Progressive IR Consultants Corp. of Vancouver , British Columbia, was engaged to provide investor relations services to the Company.

Coal Stock News Alert: VSUS Technologies Inc., (OTCQB:VSUT) Shareholder Update

BOGOTA, Colombia - May 31, 2012 (Investorideas.com Newswire) VSUS Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:VSUT) President, John Campo, commented, "As a relatively unknown company, we understand the need to keep shareholders updated. Due to the large interest from international investors in the Colombian coal sector, we wanted to provide an overview of our company for both retail and institutional investors taking a closer look at VSUS Technologies Inc."

VSUS Technologies Inc. is focused on the acquisition and development of high-quality metallurgical coal properties in the Republic of Colombia . We own 100% of La Tabaquera mine in Colombia with an estimated 17 MM tonnes of reserves, 70% metallurgical and 30% thermal coal. These reserves were appraised by a licensed mining engineer in Colombia for an estimated gross value of US$ 70 MM "in situ" in the ground.
The Company has signed an LOI to purchase the neighboring property with expected reserves of over 100 MM tonnes. We anticipate closing this acquisition in the very near future.
There has been significant interest in the Colombian coal sector by international mining companies and investment bankers. South Africa 's Continental Coal acquired a 50% joint venture interest in a metallurgical coal mine. According to their press release, "Sales of hard coking coal are made at the mine's gate with current margins of about 75%."
Brazilian miner Vale said on Monday it agreed to sell its thermal coal assets in Colombia for $ 407 MM to a unit of Colombian Natural Resources, a mining company controlled by U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs already owns a stake in a railway and mines in the same area. Goldman Sachs has been quietly accumulating coal properties in Colombia for the past few years. It is important to note that Vale, the largest iron ore producer in the world, is selling the mines because thermal coal, used to generate electricity, is not part of the company's core business. They are keeping their more valuable metallurgical coal assets.
Due to the high quality of our metallurgical coal reserves, the Company has received an informal offer, through one of its shareholders, from a subsidiary of a major international energy conglomerate for the purchase of La Tabaquera; the Company will weigh all options including being acquired.
We are in talks with a company that owns producing oil wells in Wyoming that would like to be acquired by VSUS Technologies at a valuation far greater that our current market price. The oil company believes mutually we can raise funds to increase their production from 40-50 barrels of oil per day to 400 barrels. This cash flow, along with our assets, will make us more attractive to institutional investors and will allow us to acquire additional coal properties in Colombia as well as producing oil wells in the U.S.
The Company has increased its authorized shares in preparedness for these near term acquisitions. We have no plans to enter into any financing that could have a negative impact on our shareholders. The increase was done with the long term view of executing our business plan to take advantage of the huge roll up opportunities both in Colombia and the U.S.
As you are aware, we have begun our environmental impact studies for La Tabaquera. We anticipate completing these studies and applying for our mining permit within three months of receiving the necessary financing. We have been in extensive talks this week with financiers that are willing to provide favorable financing.
The Company would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support as we move into the next phase of our development.
Sincerely,
John Campo, President
VSUS Technologies Inc.
VSUS Technologies is a growing company that is acquiring coal concessions in Colombia in order to satisfy the world market demand for coal. Once a concession is acquired and the necessary financing is obtained, the Company will begin all the required environmental and geological studies to get them into production as efficiently as possible. The Company plans to have three revenue producing business units in Colombia : coal mining, coking oven facilities, and docks and river transportation along the Magdalena River . The Company is also exploring allegiances with U.S. universities to study capturing Coal Bed Methane (CBM) in Colombia .

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) Continues to Encounter Encouraging Results at Urique

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - May 23, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL, OTCBB: YRLLF, and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to report additional gold and silver results from its ongoing comprehensive work program at the 290 square kilometre Urique Project, located in Chihuahua State, Mexico, immediately north of Goldcorp's El Sauzal gold mine and immediately south of Kimber Resources' Monterde Property. Work at Urique is being performed on behalf of optionee Mammoth Resources Ltd.

A majority of the work in the southern portion of the Urique Project has been concentrated on the approximately four kilometre by four kilometre area immediately surrounding the town of Urique. The most important target identified, to date, is the El Rosario Target, which is defined by an approximately 175 by 450 metre silica alteration zone on surface with multiple widely spaced workings that tested the system over a vertical extent of approximately 200 metres. Previous sampling by Yale encountered bonanza grades of silver (+1,000 g/t) over narrow widths (see news releases dated Feb. 6, 2008) whereas recent sampling has been successful in identifying wider widths of mineralization such as the highlights below:

• 1.5 metre chip sample grading 4.77 g/t gold and 49.5 g/t silver;
• 4.2 metre chip sample grading 1.21 g/t gold and 12.6 g/t silver; and
• 1.4 metre chip sample grading 2.03 g/t gold and 14.4 g/t silver.

The El Rosario Target area is centred on the El Rosario working, which is made up of at least 600 metres of underground development that tested five veins � the longest of which was developed along at least 300 metres of strike length.
New mapping at El Rosario has re-interpreted a key geological unit that hosts the veining (and historic mining) at the El Rosario level to be a volcano-sedimentary unit that is much more extensive than previously thought. The orientation and size of this altered volcano-sedimentary unit may have significant implications on the controls on the emplacement of the high grade gold-silver mineralization and, as a result, on the potential to identify either feeder zones and or larger targets at depth.
Ongoing surface mapping and sampling continue to define the mineralization and alteration on surface as infill sampling has been successful in identifying additional zones of interest. A summary of the widespread sampling (defined by the nearest working) is provided below � to see a map of the El Rosario Target Area locating samples mentioned in this news release please click the following link: http://www.yaleresources.com/s/Urique.asp

Gold Stocks; Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSX-V: GBB) releases 43-101 Technical Report on its Granada Gold Project

VANCOUVER - May 21, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSXV: GBB, OTC PINK: GBBFF) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") is pleased to provide an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report. prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), on its Granada Gold Property, located along the prolific Cadillac trend in North-western Quebec , 5 km south of the city of Rouyn-Noranda.

The Technical Report, entitled "Granada Gold Project Resource Estimate, Rouyn-Noranda, Abitibi, QC", dated May 17, 2012 with an effective date of April 2, 2012 , was prepared by SGS Canada Inc. and authored by Claude Duplessis , P.Eng., and Gilbert Rousseau , P.Eng., Qualified Persons as defined by NI 43-101 and Karina Sarabia , GIT and Jonathan Gagné, P.Eng.. The Technical Report is available through the Internet under the Company's profile on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.goldbulliondevelopmentcorp.com.

At this time the exploration potential is open since only a small area has been explored with drilling by Gold Bullion. However, assuming that the geological controls observed at the Granada property are similar in size and grade to the other mineralized veins and the known mineralization, there is every reason to believe that the area of potential mineralization at the Granada property is large. In summary, SGS Canada Inc. considers that the proposed program for further exploration on the Granada project by Gold Bullion is both warranted and justified as the potential for the discovery of additional resources is good.

Recommendations include: exploration drilling at depth, north of existing drilling to validate extension of the mineralized package at depth; substantial additional drilling to improve resource estimates in the conceptual open pit area and extension; drilling to the west, to the north and to the east on a 40 to 50m grid of surface holes drilling southward at 55 degrees dip; and a few infill holes where gaps exist along with 3 cross sections of 3 holes on 100m line to tests mineralization behind existing artificial footwall.

Mining News: Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: RRHI) Initiates Gravity Mapping Program at Dodge Mine

FREEHOLD, N.J. - May 7, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: RRHI) is pleased to announce that the gravity mapping program of Dodge Mine (Shamva, Zimbabwe) has started. With outstanding recommendations from barite geologist experts, the company has solicited the services of MWH GEO-Surveys Ltd. (http://www.mwhgeo.com/). Kevin MacNabb, owner/operator recently completed a pre-site survey of Dodge Mine to ensure the gravity mapping parameters of the hydrothermal mountain range are optimized to capture the multiple barite lenses across the property with additional recommendations to identify a variety of mineral/metal deposits.

Dodge Mine is classified as an Irregular Ore Body with close-spaced veinlets cutting the host rock and forming an intercalated network of cylindrical or cap-like deposits cutting across geological boundaries. Prior drilling reports identified barite, limestone/marble and talc. Of key interest is the documented widespread occurrences of gossans deposits indicating a massive undeveloped sulphide deposit often associated with gold, nickel, copper and lead. The presence of these metabasalt often point to gold in the host rock. Both local and international geologists have confirmed that the Dodge Mine barite deposits are world class, contain very high percentages of pure Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) and 100% recoverable.
Kevin MacNabb, owner/operator of MWH Geo-Surveys Ltd. stated, "These are exciting times for junior mining companies like Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. as I have watched firsthand the dramatic impact to shareholder value with successful gravity mapping programs performed for other mining companies in Africa." He further stated, "The pre-site survey was paramount in setting the optimum profile configuration for gravity mapping the Dodge Mine to address the unique features of their hydrothermal mountain range property."
Al Pietrangelo, President and CEO of Raptor Resources Holdings Inc. added, "We are excited to begin the mapping program teamed with highly acclaimed MWH Geo-Surveys Ltd and would like to thank Kevin for being proactive to personally assist us during the pre-site survey. With their state of the art Aliod 100X micro-gal gravity meters and GPS data loggers utilizing proprietary G Control software exclusive to the company, we look forward to sharing the data with our most prized resource of all, our shareholders."

TSX Mining News: SilverCrest (SVL.V) (STVZF.PK) Reports 127.4m @ 65.6 gpt Ag Eq(i) at La Joya Expands Main Mineralized Trend to Northeast and Southwest

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - May 7, 2012 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (SVL.V) (STVZF.PK) (STVZF.PK) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of a further 16 holes of the Phase II drill program currently underway at its La Joya Property in Durango, Mexico. The Phase II program comprises an estimated 80 holes totaling approximately 15,000 metres. Phase II drilling to date has extended the Main Mineralized Trend ("Trend") an additional 500 meters to the northwest beyond the area of the current resource of 101.9 million ounces Ag Eq.(i) (see News release dated March 20, 2012). New results show the Trend expanding an additional 200 metres to the northeast and 100 metres to southwest with the average width increasing from 500 to approximately 700 metres along a strike length of 2,500 metres (see attached figure: here). Please reference our website at www.silvercrestmines.com for more information, photos and figures on La Joya.

J. Scott Drever, President stated: "In January we announced an initial Inferred Resource in a portion of the Trend of 57.9 million tonnes grading 28 gpt Ag, 0.18 gpt Au and 0.21% Cu and containing 101.9 million ounces Ag Equivalent(i). We have since drilled 23 holes as a part of the second phase of drilling that have successfully expanded mineralization in all lateral directions with the possible expansion of the resource along the Trend. We have begun to drill the area to the southeast of the declared resource which, based on previous historic drilling and our surface sampling results, is expected to host the most attractive mineralized portion of the Trend".
These further 16 holes have partially tested the eastern and western margins of the northern end of the Trend and have provided in-fill information within the resource area. Silver values range from 2.6 gpt to 255.7 gpt and on a silver equivalent(i) basis values range from 24.0 gpt to 445.6 gpt Ag Eq. Mineralized intervals range from 3.5 metres to 127.4 metres. True thicknesses of mineralized intercepts can be approximated from previously announced drill holes in associated areas and cross-sections. The most significant assay results are shown in the following table;
All sample analyses were completed by ALS Chemex in Zacatecas, Mexico and North Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Holes L J DD12-40 and L J DD12-41 have identified additional mineralization along the Contact Zone which had been previously drilled and defined as mineralization near the contact of Cretaceous sediments and underlying quartz feldspar porphyry stock and dykes. The Contact Zone is exposed at surface and in this area has a northwest-southeast strike approximately one and a half kilometer long with semi-massive to massive sulfide mineralization (primarily chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite) immediately adjacent to contacts. This type of mineralization is similar to that of the nearby producing Penoles' Sabinas Mine.
Holes L JDD12-44 to 48 have identified additional mineralization in the Northeast portion of the Trend previously identified as the "Esperanza" target. This mineralization is similar to previously defined mantos, structures/stockwork and the Contact Zone although the mantos and structures appear to be fewer in number and somewhat deeper than in the central section of the Trend. Further drilling in this area is required to better define near surface mineralization.
Core samples for holes L J DD12-49 to L J DD12-52 are currently in the laboratory being analyzed. The program is currently drilling at hole L JDD12-53 located on the south central part of the Trend. Assays for the next series of holes will be reported upon receipt and compilation. Several holes contain anomalous molybdenum, tungsten, lead and zinc values over significant widths in the skarn. The significance of these associated mineral zones is being examined.
The Phase II 80 hole drill program is expected to test approximately 2.5 kilometres of the Trend that includes at least the 8 near-vertical structures/stockwork zones, 14 near-horizontally stacked mantos plus the Contact Zone adjacent to the underlying intrusive. Drilling on the southern extension of the Trend has commenced. Based on Company surface mapping, sampling and historic drill hole results, this area is thought to be potentially the highest grade area along the Trend.
The La Joya Deposit currently has estimated Inferred Resources of:
Please refer to the January 4, 2012 news release for further details of the Inferred Resource estimate and to the La Joya NI 43-101 Technical Report filed on www.Sedar.com
