Commenting from South America on these developments, Gary Moore, Managing Director of the Company said, "Following the award on June 5th 2007 of the Rosa Blanca Block, (and signature of the Licence on July 3rd 2007) several companies approached the Company with a view to farming into the block. Although Gold did not seek partners for this block we were very impressed with Osage and the deal they offered. Additionally we believe that it is advantageous for Gold to work with a partner who has significant experience and who brings technical expertise to our exploration in the area."
