Cash: $391,000K (scary I know, but most recent report shows $1.8m realised in Jan 2008 from exercised options - however, can't seem to find it in cashflow report)
Other Investments (source of cash):
31,396,849 shares (13.5%) in Olympus Pacific Minerals (OYM) listed on TSX
so at current SP 0.33c = $10m CA
so using a X rate of $1.05 I get $10.5m
So for Zedex projects you are paying $33m - $10.5m = $22.5m.
ZDX also has an entitlement to a 2% gross production royalty in respect of Olympus' share of gold production at the Bong Mieu gold project in Vietnam

ZDX PROJECTS
Bau Gold Project, Malaysia 50.05% (ZDX Operator)
Recently updated JORC using proir drilling data to 801,000 Oz comprising
NOW, I know grades aren't nothing to excited about BUT grade and size should hopefully be upgraded with further drilling according to Directors and there is another JORC update for Jugan due in May with also a new JORC estimate for the Seringgok deposit. Now BAU gold project covers a large area of 828km^2 with a number of areas (9 in total) that have been mined back when it was running intermittently in 1854. In particular, 4 areas have been identified by directors that they say potentially hold multi-million Oz resources. Drilling results to date have been positive with results from Say Seng and Bekajeng with reasonable grades and depths. Furthermore, the project is very proximate to the BAU township and reasonably proximate to Kuching City (40km). So IMHO I think potential upside for this project is considerably large given the sheer size of the project and current stock price and calcs made above.
Tien Thuan Polymetallic Project, Vietnam - 75% ZDX
Lies 50km west of port city Qoy Nhon. Has been subject to extensive Artisian mining but curtailed by local authorities. Rock chip sampling received ranging up to 30.50 g/t Au, 100 g/t Ag, 1.33% Cu, 11.10% Pb, 7.23% Zn, 0.14% Mo 12km long structural corridor identified with quartz veins up to 20m with and 2km long
Exploration in progress with mapping, soil and geochemical surveys etc in order to delinate targets for 5,000m drilling planned for 3rd Quarter 2008
Enmore Gold Project, NSW - ZDX (100% + 80% in two other licenses)
Grass roots stuff. Soil sampling etc. Not a lot of info yet.
I'll let y'all do your own research in Olympus Minerals http://www.olympuspacific.com/
You'll see that there is some pretty massive upside potential with this one too but way more developed than ZDX( i.e a pre-feasibility on the way for the above mentioned Bong Mieu Project).
