The Osmaniye Nickel sites were acquired from three individuals holding mining exploration licenses and from the tenders of the General Directorate of Mining Works, as part of the nickel exploration project that our company started in 2008. The sites are located close to the town of Yarpuz, within the boundaries of the Central district of Osmaniye province. Prospecting, geology, and geophysics (IP) studies are being conducted in the licensed sites and in the vicinity. Upon completion of the IP studies, drilling is planned for 2009
