Last few years have required some patience, but all
the work done looks to be coming to a head (over the
remainder of 2007)

Would be nice to see Gary Lowder get carve another notch on his tool-belt.

Conrad (Silver + base metal)
- Drill results start this month.
- Flow of Results to continue for remainder of '07.
- Should have a JORC resource estimate by year end.
- Goal is to have 50Moz Silver equivalent resource by
year end.

Sheep Station Hill (Tin + Copper)
- Bulk sampling should be completed by May.
- (will give a good indication on Tin grades, and
if it's viable to mine the copper).

Newstead (Tin)
- Drilling after Sheep Station Hill.
- Should have results around June/July.
- (This one's a bit of a wild-card).

Tooloom (Gold)
- Flow of drill results start around end of May to
early June.
- Looking at a couple of new exciting targets.
- The target just north of Phoenix looks promising.

Mt. Isa (Base metals (namely copper) + possible U)
- Should start getting news/drill results after June.
- Goal is to define a resource and get
mining/producing at Mt. Lidster ASAP to create
cash flow for more exploration. (this is hoped to be
achieved sometime in 2007).
- Volga Elderberry is also looking promising.
- Had good hits of Tin in the past.
- Good potential for IOCG deposit (Ernest Henry
type deposits)
- Has similarities to Mary Kathleen (35Km away).
Someone say the 'U' word?

With the amount of reporting planned for the rest of
the year, I hope MAR have had their fax machine
serviced recently.

Come'on Gary, give us one more big "Hoorah" before you
decide to hang up your rock pick!
