copper-gold assets in Chile, is pleased to announce that its Chilean
subsidiary, Minera Polymet Limitada, (“Polymet”) has signed a
memorandum of understanding with Chilean based Geoactiva SPA

required to make payments totaling US$1,000,000 and incur a total of
US$3,500,000 in exploration expenditures over a period of four years.
Polymet will retain a 1.5% net smelter royalty for all copper, gold and

a result of the exploitation of the property. Geoactiva may acquire
