Additionally, the Company announced that it in 2010 it sold 13,800 ounces of gold at an average price of approximately $1,200 per ounce for revenues of $17.25mm.  

Furthermore, the Company, as of December 31, 2010, had approximately 58,000 ounces (1.6 metric tons) of gold inventory.  At current price per ounce of gold of $1,300, the potential the Company may receive for its current inventory is over $75,000,000.  All amounts of gold and receipts will be reported as required.

ABOUT THE RUSSIAN MINERAL RESOURCE AND RESERVE REPORTING SYSTEM

Russian mineral rights are owned by the government and licensed to enterprises such as RossZoloto.  The Russian Mineral Resource and Reserve reporting is split into two categories; “resources” and “reserves;” depending on the level of exploration. Mineral resources are in situ estimates based on geological evidence with preliminary technical and economic assessments sufficient to show that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. Mineral reserves are the economically mineable parts of a mineral resource, having taken into account all dilution and recovery factors and technical and economic studies having been carried out in sufficient detail to demonstrate that extraction can reasonably be justified. The categories of resources and reserves are split into the following sub-categories:

Resources:

P3: No supporting evidence

P2: Evidence from geophysics/geochemistry/mapping

P1: Limited drill hole, trench sampling and outcrop data

Reserves:

C2: Systematic sampling, ancillary studies

C1: Closer-spaced sampling, more detailed ancillary studies

B: Close-spaced exploration or partly blocked out in mine

A: Generally blocked out ore in a producing mine
