Mr. Barry is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43- 101, and is responsible for the preparation of the technical report.

The 180 square kilometer Campos Verdes project covers part of the Santa Terezinha greenstone belt in Central Brazil and includes two historic small scale gold workings known locally as "garimpos" Reconnaissance sampling at the João Neves garimpo has returned values of up to 49.7 grams gold per tonne from grab samples of vein material, while channel sampling yielded 5.9 grams gold per tonne over 5.8 metres (including a higher grade section running 8.5 grams gold per tonne over 2.8 metres) within a 55.1 metre long trench at the northeast end of the workings. The average uncut grade of all the samples collected along the trench is 0.8 gram gold per tonne. At the Modesto garimpo, 26 surface channel samples collected over a 42 metre long section returned up to 1.03 grams gold per tonne and averaged 0.23 grams gold per tonne (Press Release April 24, 2006).

Lara completed baseline environmental studies at Campos Verdes in April and has now mobilized an exploration team to initiate the work program recommended in the Technical Report. Detailed mapping, geochemistry, geophysics and trenching will be undertaken around the João Neves and Modesto garimpos and to follow up on a coincident geochemical and geophysical anomaly in the southeast corner of the property, to define drill targets.
