The Special Warrant Offering was completed on a private placement basis on 2 December 2010. Fraser Mackenzie Limited acted as the Canadian placement agent for the Special Warrant Offering. Each whole ordinary share purchase warrant issuable on exercise of the special warrants is exercisable for one ordinary share at a price of $0.75 at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 2, 2012.  As part of the conditions of the Special Warrant Offering, the Company undertook to obtain a listing of its shares in Canada before 1 April 2011.  The Company at this stage expects that it will be in a position to fulfill this condition. The ordinary shares will continue to be listed and traded in the UK on AIM. EXPLORATION STATUS Drilling activity is on-going at Palito and, as previously advised, the Company expects to announce results from each of the nine target drilling areas for each discrete area as soon as its has received and interpreted all results from that area.  The Company still hopes that first results will be available before end of the first quarter. The previously announced 8,000 hectare helicopter borne VTEM survey was flown and completed during January and the Company is waiting for the contractor to review, verify and collate the various data files gathered, before being able to pass this information to the Company's own geophysical consultant for interpretation and correlation with other geological data that the Company holds.
