The acquisition fits within our focus on Quebec and Nevada and within one of our key strategies to acquire quality assets adjacent to operating advanced stage properties.  Our goal is to add value to Casa South through review and analysis of a significant historic database of exploration information and by conducting strategic exploration.  Casa South is a large property with multiple exploration targets and the Company has already begun a targeted exploration program with initial results due to be out shortly.”
