HISTOIRE CACHE DU PORTUGAL

[duarte1]

On April 8, 2009, Kernow announced that it has applied to the Portuguese Ministry of Economy and Innovation for the rights to explore for Geothermal resources located in the area of Chaves in Northern Portugal. The application will be reviewed by the Ministry and the Direccao-Geral de Energia e Geologia (”DGEG”) and, if successful, Kernow will be granted the right to explore for Geothermal Resources over an area of approximately 200.90 square kilometres. The location was selected by Kernow as it is known to host several hot springs and contains a deep seated regional fault running from the south west to the north east of the property. The fault known as the Regua Varim fault separates two granitic intrusions of Hercynian age to the east and west.

Kernow signed a Letter of Intent with Green Bull on March 9, 2009. The LOI granted Green Bull the right to enter into a 50/50 joint venture with Kernow to develop the Chaves area under application for geothermal resources after paying the first EUR 100,000 (Approximately $160,000) of exploration expenditures on the property. The transaction has been conditionally accepted by the Exchange but is subject to final review by the Exchange.

Kernow Geothermal Application Area

Background of Geothermal Resources in Portugal

The geology of Portugal is permissive for several different types of geothermal resources. On the mainland, where intrusive and crystalline rocks cover over 60% of the area, thermal waters are related with active faulting. At least twenty-seven hot springs are noted and have discharge temperatures of between 25ºC and 75ºC. The majority of these hot springs are located in the central and northern part of the country and as mentioned occur along major structural breaks. The waters are mostly used for balneotherapy.

In the sedimentary basins in the south of the country, particularly in the Lisbon area, where population densities are higher and heat consumers are located, Lower Cretaceous reservoirs with temperatures up to 50ºC were tapped for small multipurpose geothermal operations.

In the volcanic Azores Archipelago, on São Miguel Island, high enthalpy geothermal resources have been producing electrical power since 1980. The Pico Vermelho and Ribeira Grande geothermal power plants have a total installed capacity of approximately 12MWe and supply over 25% of the electricity consumed on the island.

In Chaves, Northern Portugal hot waters are tapped from two wells drilled in metamorphosed slates. The fluids from the wells are used in a small district heating network (swimming-pool, hotel and a greenhouse).The first well is, 147 m deep, the water temperature is reported as being 76 ºC, and flows at a rate of 5 litres per second. The second well also drilled through metamorphic slates with quartz veins is 98 metres deep and produces water at a temperature of 73 ºC, and flows at a rate of 10 litres per second. This well feeds the thermal bath. A cooling tower is needed to cool part of the water to be used in the spa. The geothermal field is the heart of the town.

SUMMARY

This Exploration Contract covers an area of approximately 16.4 square kilometers and was granted for an initial period of two years in May of 2007. The contract can be renewed for a further 3 year period. The area encompasses several small mines that produced antimony from high grade veins at the end of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century. Gold is known to have been recovered from the antimony veins toward the end of the life of the antimony mines. Drifting along veins at Alto Sobrido by the Portuguese State Mining authority (Servico do Fomento Mineiro) in the 1960’s encountered pockets of high grade gold mineralisation associated with the antimony veins.

From 1998 to 2002 Connary Minerals explored the area. Work consisted of the completion of 2 diamond holes for 188 meters, the completion of 30 percussion holes for 714 meters, channel sampling of underground workings, extensive surface sampling and trenching.

Earlier work completed on the property includes the completion of 4 holes diamond drill holes by CBD (a Joint Venture between BRGM, EDM and Empresa Carbonifera de Douro). The holes drilled were SS1 to SS4 for 211.0 meters, the JV also conducted surface sampling along mineralized structures and underground channel sampling.

Diamond drilling on both the Alto Sobrido and Ribeiro da Serra prospects is planned to commence early in 2008.

There are three main known prospects within the Alto Sobrido concession and they are aligned along a 4 kilometer long northwest trending zone. From south to north they are as follows

Alto do Sobrido, the Ribeiro da Serra and the Tapada Prospects

Alto do Sobrido

There are small surface and underground workings at the Alto do Sobrido. The project area is situated on the western limb of the Valongo Anticline. The workings here are confined to an area of 300 meters x 500 metres. Most of the workings relate to the mining antimony in the late 19th century. However there is evidence that gold was recovered from the mineralized system. In addition extensive sampling has shown the presence of pervasive gold mineralization in the area.
Drilling, trenching and sampling has identified 3 veins sub parallel to each other and generally striking east west.

They are:

Vein A: This has been intersected in 3 places by drilling and returned values as: 3.2% Antimony across 2.0 meters (percussion) 3.92% Antimony over 4.75 meters (diamond drill) and 1.17 % Antimony over 1.0 meters (diamond drill). These intercepts occur from near surface up to 50 meters below surface.

Vein B: Has four intercepts, three from percussion holes and one from diamond drill (2.0% Antimony across two meters). Vein C: Has two intercepts, one from percussion drilling and one from diamond drilling (2.1% Antimony across 1.65 meters).

All of the intercepts have gold mineralization associated with them noted as: 9.20 g/t Au across 1.0 meter in Percussion Hole 6 and 9.8 g/t Au across 1.0 meter at a depth of 33 meters from Percussion Hole 17. In addition diamond drill hole DDAS 1 recorded an assay of 1.16 g/t Au across 1.65 meters from this vein. Most other gold values are in the 0.5 g/t to 1.0 g/t Au across 1.0 meter range.

True widths of the individual veins are estimated, from underground observations, to be between 0.25 meters and 2.0 meters.

The Servico do Fomento Mineiro completed and sampled some 300 meters of tunneling in the mid 1960’s. Channel sampling across the vein structure exposed in the Adit Minus 25m level returned strong antimony values along with exceptional gold grades:

To west of the area a well silicified and brecciated structure of variable width (4 to 16 meters) has been identified by surface mapping, channel and chip sampling, trenching and by several drill holes (both percussive and diamond drill holes). The structure strikes initially to the north for some 200 meters. When striking north the structure dips steeply to the east.

Mapping has shown the structure then swings to the east and has been traced for another 100 meters. As the structure swings to the east the dip appears to flatten. Channel sampling and surface sampling has shown elevated values for gold along the entire 300m meters of the structure identified to date.

Ribeiro da Serra – Tapada Prospects

Ribeiro da Serra is an old antimony mine located some 650 meters northwest of the Alto Sobrido prospect. There are extensive underground workings but there are only two tunnels are currently accessible, the remaining old workings being flooded. The veins mostly trend in a northerly direction. The flatter-lying veins have been found not to be particularly rich in gold but have been extensively stoped during the mining of antimony down to depth of about 150 m below surface. Kernow has sampled the antimony veins and has recorded values as follows:

Tapada Prospect

The Tapada deposit along with Fontinha is located between 300m and 700 m North West of Ribeiro da Serra and is a slightly larger mine development than Ribeiro da Serra. The dominant trends of quartz veins are North-North West and North East. Kernow sampled a quartz vein in the adit Number Six with the following result:

NOTE:

The assay and sampling results quoted in the foregoing document are historical results. Kernow is in the process of verifying the data by conducting its own surface and underground sampling. In addition Kernow will re-sample and re-assay diamond drill core from the two drill holes DDAS-01 and DDAS-02

To date the majority of the confirmation samples taken by Kernow have returned higher antimony values than previously recorded. Kernow believes this is due to the application of a different more accurate assaying technique for antimony.

About Antimony

In common with most industrial metals, antimony is enjoying strong market conditions with prices having strengthened during the last two years to the current level of US$5,600/t ($2.55 /lb) for Antimony ingots. Supplies from China, which has historically contributed about 85% of world production, have tightened, opening opportunities for other producers to sell into a market where demand is forecast to grow at some 5% per annum.

Background of Geothermal Resources in Portugal

The geology of Portugal is permissive for several different types of geothermal resources. On the mainland, where intrusive and crystalline rocks cover over 60% of the area, thermal waters are related with active faulting. At least twenty-seven hot springs are noted and have discharge temperatures of between 25ºC and 75ºC. The majority of these hot springs are located in the central and northern part of the country and as mentioned occur along major structural breaks. The waters are mostly used for balneotherapy.

In the sedimentary basins in the south of the country, particularly in the Lisbon area, where population densities are higher and heat consumers are located, Lower Cretaceous reservoirs with temperatures up to 50ºC were tapped for small multipurpose geothermal operations.

The Pico Vermelho and Ribeira Grande geothermal power plants have a total installed capacity of approximately 12MWe and supply over 25% of the electricity consumed on the island.

In Chaves, Northern Portugal hot waters are tapped from two wells drilled in metamorphosed slates. The fluids from the wells are used in a small district heating network (swimming-pool, hotel and a greenhouse).The first well is, 147 m deep, the water temperature is reported as being 76 ºC, and flows at a rate of 5 litres per second. The second well also drilled through metamorphic slates with quartz veins is 98 metres deep and produces water at a temperature of 73 ºC, and flows at a rate of 10 litres per second. This well feeds the thermal bath. A cooling tower is needed to cool part of the water to be used in the spa. The geothermal field is the heart of the town.



Location of the property

The area applied for is centred around the City of Chaves located in the Trás os Montes region of Northern Portugal.

Chaves is the major population centre of the area applied for and is situated on the main transport route between Spain and the major population centers of Northern Portugal. The city of Chaves lies 150 kilometers NE of Porto and 38 kilometers south of Verin in Spain. From Chaves all parts of the property can be reached within a 30 minute drive along on paved roads. The Chaves hydrothermal system has been known and used for medicinal purposes since Roman times. As mentioned above the thermal waters are currently tapped by springs as well as two boreholes that are 98 metres and 147 metres deep that are used for hydrotherapy and heating swimming pools.

Geology of the area applied for.

The Chaves graben is 7 kilometres by 3 kilometres in extent and is situated at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level. The area applied for covers the majority of this area.

The Vilarelho da Raia–Chaves region is part of a major hydro-geological province where the upflow of thermo-mineral waters are structurally controlled by the fault systems associated with the NNE-SSW megafault extending from Verin (Spain) to Penacova (central Portugal). The geomorphology of this province is dominated by several tectonic depressions. The “Chaves basin” and “Vilarelho da Raia basin” are grabens whose axes are roughly oriented NNE-SSW. They are bounded at the east side by the edge of Padrela Mountain as an escarpment with a 400 metre throw in Chaves region. In the NW part of Vilarelho da Raia area, the geomorphology is controlled by the Larouco Mountain (1500 m a.s.l.) whose escarpment is oriented NNE-SSW.

The region is located in the Ante-Mesozoic Iberian Massif that consists mainly of Hercynian granites and Palaeozoic metasediments (Portugal Ferreira et al., 1992). The oldest formations correspond to the Schisto-Graywacke Complex(Pre-Ordovician). During Ordovician and Silurian times quartzites and schists were formed, being metamorphosed at the end of Palaeozoic by the Hercynian granitic intrusions.

The Vilarelho da Raia and Chaves granites have been classified into the alkaline granites of the 3rd Hercynian phase (310 My). The Silurian metamorphic formations have been recognised in both the eastern and western sides of the Chaves basin. The most recent formations are Miocene- Pleistocene sedimentary series (lacustrine, alluvial, detritic, etc.). These formations show variable thickness along the basins. Extensive neo-tectonic features were originated by Alpine Orogeny. These events were responsible for the formation of what are perceived to be several low to mid level enthalpy hydrothermal fields.



The nature and goals of the proposed work program

Research by the Company and personnel from Green Bull Energy Inc. subscribe to the theory proposed in The Geothermal Atlas of Europe, published by Hunter & Hamel 2002 compiled by Commission of the European Communities EUR 17811, 2002 that in the Chaves basin there are two forms of geothermal waters. The first a re-circulating group that percolate downward through the extensive faulting system to mix with hot waters ascending from depth. The waters are heated by proximity to the granitic intrusions and through mixing. This is evidenced by the presence of relatively cold waters (17ºC) at Vilarelho da Raia and relatively hot waters in close proximity at Chaves (up to 120ºC). In addition differing gaseous phases are associated with each of the waters showing their different origins. It will be the intent of the Company to demonstrate that there is a suitable heat source at depth that can be tapped to produce electricity using newly developed binary fluid generating machinery.

The geothermal gradient of the area has not yet been verified but is believed to be between 35º and 65ºC per kilometre of depth. Estimates of the water temperature at depth range between 95ºC (shallow) and 204ºC (deep seated). Part of the proposed work program will be to establish the gradient and using mostly geophysical methods to establish the size of a “heat reservoir”.

The work program proposed to the DEGE is as follows:

First Year

Collect and analyse previous data;

Undertake interpretation of satellite images and orthography;

Complete Geological cartography;

Examine the Geo-structural analysis of the region;

Undertake Geophysical surveys, exact method yet to be determined but likely to include 3 D resisitivity and remodelling of existing data.

Undertake assessment of the applicability of ZTEM/ AirMt airborne AFMAG surveys to detect/ assist in geothermal exploration.

Create analogous 2D Forward models that simulate the expected ZTEM/AirMt responses over Geothermal targets.



Second year

Identification and selection of preferred drilling targets;

Reverse circulation drilling combined with diamond drilling to allow for the taking of core samples, target depths will be determined by the geophysical data.

Minimum target depths will be 750 metres.

Drilling of a deep surface cased slim hole to determine the geothermal gradient.

The Company has proposed to the DEGE to expend Euros 75,000 (approximately C$120,000) in the first year of the licence and Euros 175,000 (approximately C$280,000) in the second year

Green Bull Energy Inc.

The Company has also signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Green Bull Energy Inc. (Green Bull), a private company controlled by one of Kernow´s directors, Mr. J.L. Bulman. The LOI grants Green Bull the right to enter into a Joint Venture with Kernow to develop the area under application after paying the first Euro 100,000 (approximately C$160,000) of exploration expenditures on the property. The LOI envisages that after the rights to the property have been granted and after Green Bull has expended the monies, the companies will enter into a 50/50 JV to further develop the property. The LOI is subject to Exchange approval.

Green Bull has been active in assisting Kernow in the assessment of the potential of the area. This assistance has been provided through Mr. Terry Moore. Mr. Moore has over 27 years of experience in the oil and gas industry as a drilling engineer both offshore and onshore. His diverse engineering background has brought him to all areas of Canada, the North Sea areas of the UK and Ireland. Mr. Moore specializes in complex well planning and offshore drilling facility design.

Mr. Moore has worked as drilling engineer planning both shallow and deep wells and includes heavy oil, sour gas, and structurally complex fractured foothill wells.

In addition Green Bull and Kernow will call on the services of BJ Kalsi. Mr. Kalsi has extensive experience in drilling operations and has over 20 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and his current occupation is a Completions Superintended/Engineer. Mr. Kalsi has held several supervisory positions both offshore and onshore with a number of companies in Canada, the Netherlands, France, Kazakhstan and Australia. His main areas of expertise are wellsite management, various types of drilling, Coal Bed Methane and remote/logistically challenged operations (i.e. located in the Arctic, Eastern Canada and Kazakhstan).

Both Mr. Moore and Mr. Kalsi have experience in the field of oilfield style geophysics.

Kernow has a team of geological consultants it can call upon in Portugal but has decided that to enhance its technical team by choosing a partner familiar with the proposed exploration activities. In addition Green Bull will provide the first Euro 100,000 (approximately C$160,000 ) for the work program. Kernow will need to complete a financing to provide its portion of the work program and it is hoped that markets will be more favourable in the future.

The tenure process and requirements under Portuguese Law

According to the Portuguese Decree-Law n.º90/90, of 16th March, geothermal resources are “the fluids and underground geological formations, of high temperature, whose heat can be susceptible of utilization”. This definition is sufficiently wide to cover all of the modern utilizations of this energy.

Furthermore, Decree-Law n.º87/90 and n.º90/90, of 16th March, determines that geothermal resources belong to the public domain, but private companies and municipalities can apply for the right of exploration and exploitation, on the basis of a concession granted by the Ministry of Economy, or in the Autonomous Region of Azores by the Regional Secretariat of Economy.

As in the mining industry, the exploration and exploitation of geothermal resources have to be carried out under the supervision of a “Technical Director”, generally a geologist or mining engineer, employed by the concessionaire and accepted by the Direcção Geral de Energia e Geologia (DGEG), the governmental agency in charge of all mining and oil development energy development in Portugal, or in The Azores by the regional authorities.

To obtain a Licence the Company first has to submit a comprehensive document to the DGEG outlining the work program envisaged by the Company, the geological concepts that the application is based on, the area involved, the personnel that will be involved in the project, the amount of money to be invested and the financial capabilities of the Company. Following receipt of the document the DGEG reviews the contents and if found in order requests that the Company publish the form of the application in two National Newspapers and a local newspaper.

The Company published the application in the required Newspapers on Friday 17th April, 2009.

Following publication the DGEG will accept comment from the public and any interested parties relative to the application.

Subsequent to this and if there are no objections the Company and the DGEG enter into negotiations with the Company relative to the amount of rental payments, the amount of a performance bond and any other conditions the DGEG see fit to request. Once the two parties have agreed on the terms the Licence is sent to the legal department of the DGEG for drafting into the form of a contract between the State and the applicant. Following this the contract is signed at the timing of the State in a ceremony involving the Secretary for State and other government officials.

Title has not yet been granted. If and when granted it will give the Company the right to explore for geothermal and hydrothermal resources.

Should title be granted the initial period of grant is for 2 years. After the first year the Company is obliged to reduce the surface area of the claim by 50%. The license can be renewed 3 times for a further 1 year each. The size of the claim must also be reduced by 50% at each renewal.

Conclusion

Kernow in conjunction with Green Bull personnel has been developing this project for some time. It is essentially a grass roots project that will require significant development if geothermal resources are identified. To undertake that development both Kernow and Green Bull will need to undertake further financing and possibly bring in a senior partner to develop any major discovery.

It should be clearly stated that the Licence has yet to be granted, the terms and conditions of the licence have yet to be finalised and it may take several months to receive the contract. In the interim further due diligence regarding water rights and land tenure over the area applied for will need to be undertaken.

Chaves, Portugal (Geothermal Resources)
On April 8, 2009, Kernow announced that it has applied to the Portuguese Ministry of Economy and Innovation for
the rights to explore for Geothermal resources located in the area of Chaves in Northern Portugal. The application
will be reviewed by the Ministry and the Direcção-Geral de Energia e Geologia (“DGEG”) and, if successful,
Kernow will be granted the right to explore for Geothermal Resources over an area of approximately 200.90 square
kilometres. The location was selected by Kernow as it is known to host several hot springs and contains a deep
seated regional fault running from the south west to the north east of the property. The fault known as the Regua
Varim fault separates two granitic intrusions of Hercynian age to the east and west.
Kernow signed a Letter of Intent with Green Bull on March 9, 2009. The LOI granted Green Bull the right to enter
into a 50/50 joint venture with Kernow to develop the Chaves area under application for geothermal resources after
paying the first €100,000 (Approximately $160,000) of exploration expenditures on the property. The transaction
has been conditionally accepted by the Exchange but is subject to final review by the Exchange.




Jales, Portugal (Gold and Silver)
The Jales-Gralheira Gold Property is located in northern Portugal and covers an area of 5.05 square kilometers. The
concession area includes the past producing Jales Gold Mine which produced 830,000 oz of gold at an average grade
of 12.9g/t gold and nearly 3,000,000 oz of silver over its 50 year life. The mine closed in 1992. The Jales deposit
was mined to depth of 620m. The mineralization strikes from the south the north east and is believed to continue at
depth. Kernow has been involved for the past 7 years in the development of the Gralheira deposit located some 500
meters to the north and east of the Jales deposit.

During 2002, the Company entered into an option agreement with St. Elias Mines Ltd. (“St. Elias”), a company
related by a common director at the time, whereby St. Elias can earn a 51% interest in the property in exchange for
cash payments totalling $50,000 (received), incurring cumulative exploration expenditures of $1,500,000
(completed) on the property and issuing a total of 500,000 common shares (received) at a value of $106,000 to the
Company over a three year period. St. Elias earned a 51% interest in the property and elected in 2005 to earn a
further 24% interest in exchange for additional cash payments totalling $100,000 ($25,000 received), incurring
additional exploration expenditures of $2,500,000 and issuing an additional 1,000,000 common shares over a three
year period.
In April 2007, St. Elias informed the Company that it had decided not to proceed with the second option and
therefore retains a 51% interest in the Jales/Gralheira gold property.
In May 2007, the Company was awarded an experimental mining license, replacing the exploration license for the
Jales property from the Direcção-Geral de Geologia e Energia (“DGGE”), a division of the Portuguese Ministry of
Economy and Innovation. The experimental license is for a period of three years. A performance deposit in the
amount of €50,000 has been posted and a minimum of €750,000 must be expended on the property over the three
year life of the license.
The Company has a Technical Services Contract with St. Elias whereby St. Elias will reimburse the Company, as
operator, for exploration costs incurred on a pro rata basis (51% as to St. Elias and 49% as to the Company). In
addition, St. Elias will pay the Company an 8% operator fee based on 100% of the exploration costs incurred on the
property. During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company recovered $28,351 (2008 - $19,486) in
exploration costs. During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company also earned $2,268 (2008 -
$1,907) as an operator fee.
Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company announced that it will purchase St. Elias’s 51% interest in the
Jales/Gralheira Property bringing its ownership

Boticas property will be extended until October 2009. The Company has committed to expend €45,000 during the
period of the extension.
Alto Sobrido, Portugal
In May 2007, the Company entered into an exploration contract with the DGGE for the Alto Sobrido property, in the
north east of Portugal. The exploration contract is for a period of two years and can be renewed for a further three,
one year periods each by reducing the area of the license by 50% at each annual renewal. A performance deposit in
the amount of €7,000 has been posted and a minimum of €25,000 must be expended on the property during the first
year and thereafter a minimum of €30,000 must be expended each year over the life of the license.
In June 2007, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Global Minerals Ltd. (“Global”) that granted Global an
option to earn a 50% interest in the Alto Sobrido property.
In July 2008 the Company terminated the letter of agreement with Global relative to the Alto Sobrido property.
During fiscal 2008, the Company applied for the exclusive right to explore any coal deposits discovered on the Alto
Sobrido property. The Company is waiting for the final approval from the Portuguese government with regards to
the coal exploration licence.

St. Elias/Kernow Agreement – Jales/Grahleira


St. Elias Mines Ltd. (the “Company” or “St. Elias”) is pleased to have announced its intention to sell their 51% interest in the Jales/Grahleira Gold Property (the “Property”) to Kernow Resources & Developments Ltd. (“Kernow”).

Overview:

St. Elias owns a 51% interest in the Property with a 49% interest owned by Kernow. Kernow is a gold explorer based in Porto, Portugal. As per the joint news release dated Friday, April 17, 2009, Kernow has agreed to purchase the remaining 51% of the Property from St. Elias. Title to the Property is held by way of an Experimental Mining Licence granted to Kernow and St. Elias in May of 2007. The Licence is valid for three years from the date of grant.

The Property covers approximately 1,250 acres (5.2 sq kilometers) and is located in northern Portugal, approximately 125km northeast of the city of Porto. The Property includes the Jales Mine, which produced about 830,000 ounces of gold in ore grading up to 12.9 g/t gold between 1933 to 1992. It also covers the Gralheira Gold and Silver deposit, which has been explored by drilling, 126 drill holes (completed to a maximum depth of 511 meters) over a strike length of 2,700 m, underground sampling from a 350 m long adit and 200 m of crosscuts, and a TITAN24 IP/Resistivity geophysical survey.

The following terms are contingent on Kernow receiving a Full Mining License from the Portuguese government, permission from the Portuguese Mining Authorities to award St. Elias a 0.4% NSR on the Property, and Exchange approval. Upon successful fulfillment of all terms, Kernow will own 100% of the Property and St. Elias will receive the following as per the agreement:

$$$$$$valor da compra da mina de jales $$$$$$$

1.Cash equivalent of CDN $150,0002.Forgiveness of all outstanding payments due to Kernow by St. Elias (approx. $61,200)3.3,000,000 (3 million) shares in Kernow’s stock (V.KRD)4.0.4% Net Smelter Return Royalty (NSR)

At present, St. Elias/Kernow currently hold an Experimental Mining License on the Property. In order to maintain this license, the Companies must carry out development/experimental mining work at a cost of approximately CDN $600,000. Following this time (after May 2010), under Portuguese mining regulations, the holder of the license must upgrade to a “Full Mining License” imposing further monetary obligations in order to take the Property into production (I.e. Feasibility study, building a mill, etc…, all at a substantial cost).

Terry Nixon, VP, Corporate Communications says, “This is a very strategic move for St. Elias as it eliminates the company’s financial responsibility on the property while still providing for great potential profits through ownership in KRD and a potential 0.4% NSR; a win-win for both parties. St. Elias is free of any future obligations on The Property while still retaining a vicarious interest, with no dilution to the shareholders.”

“This is another great step towards the immediate goal of channeling our efforts and resources on our Peruvian assets. More specifically, the Tesoro Project will be our first and primary target as we intend to carry out an ambitious program to prove up reserves and locate the source of the gold that is producing the high grade veins we are encountering”, says Lori McClenahan, President & CEO, St. Elias Mines Ltd.

o tratado de alvor

um temos tratado feito por um gouverno de funcionarios portugueses
esquerditas e golpistas, agentes da russia e da china
que nunca chegara a ser respeitado!
nem o envio das tropas portuguesas artigo 32
nem o acordo entre os comparsas rebeldes em que lhe era dado angola numa bandeja !
entretanto no artigo 53 portugual compromete se contruçao do banco de angola, com
activos e passivos.
seria interessante saber como foi reconstruido o banco angolano
e saber se os fundos que vieram de de portugal, voltaram para portugal como forma de retrosseçao dos capitais enviados , e os devidos retornos de juros,
ou se estes dinheiros, foram perdoados em nome de algums funcionarios esquerditas que gouvernaram portugal.
o se este dinheiro foi comido pela guerra civil,
o que seria tambem interessante de saber, é se este dinheiro que deveria servir para a construçao do banco de angola, se foi enviado dos coffres do banco de portugal em plena guerra civil..para angola penso que a historia um dia o dira...
http://www.congressocabinda.org/acor...S_DE_ALVOR.pdf

nao avendo accordo entre os tres chefs rebeldes, unita, mpla e fnla
ficou cabinda, ficou a questao da auterminaçao de cabinda
que esta hoje sobre a tutela de angola,
essa tutela, legal ou illegal, nao conduz com o acordo de alvor em que os 3 chefes rebeldes puseram sua assinatura.
a guerra civil e a dominaçao de um rebelde foi o que no lugar desse tratado
o que continua a criar um certo conflito para os cidadaos de cabinda, que nao podem levar a termo sua autodéterminaçao.
nem o estado portugues, nao pode garantir o seu papel de garante, para um tratado que nao foi respeitado.
o que é interessante de observar na nova historia de angola, é que tem havido uma tropa de advogados, que do estatuto que adquiriram para defenderem os direitos do povo portugues, tem defendido interesses proprios , muitos de negocios diversos, e arte de conselhar na tecnica da exploraçao ou distribuiçao do petroleo,
sem que o povo portugues, possa saber o que realmente essa minoridade gente elite , tem concluido graças a esse tratado de alvor em vez de ajudar o direito de portugal ae a justiça de portugal a evoluir ...
o que acho injusto, é porqué uma minoria de portugueses tem o direito de ir para a angola, negociar, trabalhar, e ganhar boas comissoes, e uma maioria de portugueses, nao podem ir para angola como querem, sem que lhes seja facilitado o direito, de trabalho, num antigo territorio que pertencia a portugal a mais de 500 anos !


veja o que o dom duarte diz sobre cabinda !
A responsabilidade histórica de Portugal
23-Jan-2008
É do dever de Portugal assumir as suas responsabilidades históricas.

Neste início do ano 2008, que podería ser rico em ressalto na solução do conflito de Cabinda, e tendo em conta a responsabilidade e a culpabilidade evidente de Portugal quanto à origem do diferendo que rasga dois povos africanos, o do Território de Cabinda e o da República de Angola, a redacção da flecnoticias.com considera que é importante recordar aqui a alocução corajosa pronunciada por DOM Duarte, o Duque de Bragance em 1995 por ocasião de apresentação dos votos à seus concidadãos Portugueses. O Duque de Bragance tinha então declarado que a decolonização dos territórios do ultramar português não era exemplar e que essa "décolonização" era a causa de situações de conflitos abertos e das destruições humanas e materiais constantes. Entregamo-vos, aqui e a título de recordação, um extracto dessa alocução do legítimo Herdeiro dos Reis de Portugal.

Dirigindo-se à nação portuguesa, declarou então :

“…Não arendemos com os erros dos outros, quero dizer, não tirámos lições das deficientes descolonizações belga, britânica,espanhola e francesa. Em vez disto temo-nos erradamente culpabilizado por não termos sido dos primeiros a agir do mesmo modo... Porém, ao assumirmos perante a História as nossas responsabilidades colectivas, não poderemos deixar de assumir os nossos erros, em particular no caso de CABINDA. Cabe-nos aqui o dever moral de alertar as consciências do mundo para o seu direito à AUTODETERMINAÇÃO. Fazê-lo, é contribuir para o encontro de uma paz verdadeira e sólida entre os africanos.

Pouco importa se, neste caso, o Tratado de Alvor, consagrou a integração do Território e do seu Povo em Angola e se tal foi reconhecido pelas Nações Unidas. As leis nem sempre são justas e os tratados raremente contemplam os os direitos de terceiros. E, nesta questão, avulta não só o facto de Portugal ter violado um tratado com CABINDA, que respeitara até 1974, quero dizer, o TRATADO de SIMULAMBUCO que consagrava internacionalmente o estatuto de Protectorado daquele Território, - mas a evidência de que o Povo de CABINDA não ter sido faculdade ao direito à AUTODETERMINAÇÃO. Em consequência, o estado angolano passou a ter fronteiras mais alargadas e ricas do que a descolonizada Província Ultramarina de Angola. Fronteiras ditadas não pelo direito dos povos mas pelos interesses petrolíferos; fronteiras criadas não pelo respeito pelos homens mas pela implacável lei dos negócios e dos interesses estratégicos dos mais fortes...”

Quêm pode melhor dizer que esse Digno Filho da Dinastia Portuguesa que permanece, aos nossos olhos, uma força moral e política inalienável para a sobrevivência da cultura civilizadora de Portugal.
As autoridades da República de Portugal, herdeiros e tesoureiros também, dos compromisso internacionais ligados à história milenária de Portugal, deveriam inspirar-se da sabedoria de DOM Duarte para aceitar de assumir a responsabilidade e a culpabilidade de Portugal sobre os sofrimentos dos quais são vítimas as populações cabindesas na sequência de anexão ilegal do Território de Cabinda a Angola.

Front de Libération de l'Enclave du Cabinda - La responsabilité historique du Portugal



un historiador o cronista angolano chines Mbêli-i-Tsèng' conta nos a historia moderna de cabinda...

La Politique angolaise du Portugal
27-Feb-2008
Le Portugal avait élaboré en Angola une doctrine coloniale fondée sur l'assimilation et l'intégration. Se fondant sur cette doctrine, le gouverneur NORTON de MATOS considéra alors l'Angola comme une nation portugaise plutôt qu'une colonie. Ces colons portugais bénéficiaient de tous les privilèges au détriment des autochtones victimes aussi du racisme.

Pour accéder au statut d'assimilé qui conférait tous les droits attachés à la citoyenneté portugaise, il fallait entre autre être métis, savoir lire et écrire portugais... Quant aux non-assimilés, ils étaient regroupés par tribu, chefferie ou famille, jetant les bases du tribalisme dont devaient souffrir les trois mouvements nationalistes angolais(le fnla, le mpla et l'unita) avec un penchant portugais pour les assimilés.

A ce propos, SAVIMBI dans un entretien de 2001 cite la complexité des gouvernements successifs portugais pourtant garants des accords de paix, notamment celle de JOSE MANUEL DURAO BARROSO, le secrétaire d'Etat portugais aux affaires étrangères et à la coopération (actuel président de la commission européenne), tout neutre qu'il prétendait être dans son rôle de médiateur durant les négociations unita-mpla, s'était révélé à cette occasion un partisan zélé du mpla et un ennemi juré de l'unita : il déclarait, en pleine offensive victorieuse des troupes du mpla qu'il fallait maintenir la pression sur l'unita.

C'est bien la caractéristique de la culture politique portugaise qui consiste à soutenir verbalement les bonnes causes pour mieux les trahir dans les faits. Cette posture de ne pas offenser ou choquer la nomenklatura angolaise est la règle d'or à Lisbonne depuis 1975, année du prêt à durée illimitée du Cabinda à l'Angola par le Portugal. Ce pacte des siamois a fait du Portugal un angola-dépendant et du Cabinda un pays sacrifié pour ses richesses énormes.

Ainsi, comme l'avait dit richard NIXON en 1956 : qui contrôle l'Afrique contrôle le monde, le Portugal pour sa survie dans le concert des nations tient le Cabinda dans cette position de pillage sans limites car ne l'oublions pas le Portugal est une petite nation, aux ressources limitées, qui n'a ni la force ni la capacité de son auto-survie. Mais les ressources pillées au Cabinda sont suffisantes pour appuyer de façon significative son développement et celui de ses deux petits ETATS-ARCHIPELS de l'atlantique (les açores et l'île de madère) d'une part et de défendre ensemble avec ses industriels et universitaires une coopération très forte voire exclusive avec le bijou de la colonisation portugaise le Cabinda, afin d'accélérer le développement du Portugal, d’autre part. Il s'agit en quelque sorte de faire jouer au Cabinda, dans l'économie portugaise, le rôle qu'a tenu le brésil pendant le XIXe et la moitié du XXe siècle dans le développement du portugal.

A ce titre, il n'y a qu'a voir le nombre de V.I.P portugais en Angola profitant des souffrances du peuple cabindais. Très discrets, les hommes d'affaires portugais sont très influents en angola. Les cabinets d'avocats portugais sont de plus en plus actifs à luanda. Associé à un partenaire local, le cabinet PIMJ-A.M.PEREIRA, SARRAGA LEAL, OLIVEIRA MARTINS, JUDICE e ASSOCIIADOS dispose ainsi d'un portefeuille angolais fourni, supervisé à Lisbonne par maître JORGE BRITO PEREIRA et à Luanda par l'avocate SILVIA ESPIRITO SANTO. L'un des plus anciens avocats portugais opérant en Angola, JOSE FRANCO CAIADO, collabore avec le réseau de ses anciens stagiaires dont EUNICE FERRAZ et CARLOS SANGUEVE. Ex-conseiller de majors pétroliers tels que gulf oil et chevron corp, AGOSTINHO PEREIRA de MIRANDA a fondé son cabinet dans les années 90. Il compte une trentaine d'avocats dont certains traitent exclusivement des dossiers pétroliers comme RUI AMENOLOEIRA et CATARINA da CUNHA e TAVORA. Son principal concurrent est CARLOS de SOUZA e BRITO, un ex-inspecteur général du secteur pétrolier au portugal. Contrairement au cabinet FRANCO CAIADO GUERREIRO qui à crée à Lisbonne un département "spécial Angola", CARLOS de SOUZA e BRITO dispose d'une antenne en angola.

Dans les affaires, le secteur du B.T.P domine. SOARES da COSTA, dont les dossiers africains sont supervisés par MANUEL CARMO, gère pas moins d'une cinquantaine de chantiers sur place, en particulier pour la sonangol. L'un des chantiers les plus importants est le complexe immobilier TORRES ATLANTICO, réalisé en collaboration avec le groupe MOTA-ENGIL dont les affaires africaines sont contrôlées depuis Lisbonne par JOSE RIBEIRO PINTO et VITOR ALVES. Le troisième major du B.T.P portugais est TEIXEIRA DUARTE qui a construit deux hôtels à luanda. Son directeur international est LUIS VICENTE.

Parmi les personnalités portugaises qui ont le plus d'influence sur les affaires angolaises figurent le pdg de millenium/bcp, PAULO TEIXERA PINTO, ex-membre du gouvernement conservateur d'ANIBAL CAVACO SILVA, ainsi que ILIDIO SANTOS et HELDER BATAGLIA, les deux directeurs de la banco espirito santo (B.E.S) qui accordé un prêt de 3.5 milliards de dollars à l'Angola, prêt garanti sur les richesses du cabinda. Dans les milieux politiques et du renseignement : JOAO ATAIDE de CAMARA, ex-directeur Afrique du ministère des affaires étrangères, aujourd'hui directeur du serviço de informaçoës estratégicas de defesa (S.I.E.D) et l'ambassadeur portugais en France, ex-ministre des affaires étrangères dirigent le cercle de réflexion think africa.

Dans l'absolu, le pillage du Cabinda se partagent entre l'ETAT destructeur angolais, l'ETAT prédateur portugais et tous les intermédiaires véreux y compris les nouveaux arrivants B.R.I.C (Brésil, Russie, Inde, Chine).

como as quintas de produçao de bananas...

U.S. Chiquita Brands International Inc and a partner have quit plans to enter Angola's once-thriving banana industry after failing to secure the best land to grow and export bananas.
Chiquita's partner in Angola, Escom (Xetra: 600720 - news) , said it decided to back away from the project it had been studying for two years because the land it secured to grow bananas was far from the centre of the port city of Lobito, which made the project less feasible.
'We had to relocate to an area further away from the centre of Lobito and Benguela than we had wanted. This made the project less feasible,' said Helder Bataglia, head of Escom, the Angolan arm of Portugal's Grupo Espirito Santo and its bank BES and one of Angola's largest private non-oil investors.

quando portugueses negociam a titulo privado?
os antigos bems de portugal com gente de paises que eram inimigos de portugal
e enviavam armas para combater os nossos soldados....

principal colaborador na área da Defesa Nacional portuguesa, a ESCOM, do grupo Espirito Santo (GES/BES) é o principal investidor nacional em Angola. Pensar-se-ia que se trata de capitais nacionais. Mas é aqui que vamos encontrar a ESCOM associada com a BEYA e/ou Estado Chinês (!) formando a CHINA BEIYA ESCOM por onde passam todos os vultuosos investimentos chineses em Angola e no Congo Brazaville. Os lucros para a Escom nesta parceria cifraram-se em 2005 em 170 milhões de euros.

xatoo: China`s Portuguese Conection


as riquezas das terras de portugal do ultramar estao entregues a meia duzia de individuos...

historias dos grandes tachistas do grande centrao parte primeira:


Entre los inversores se destacaban el portugués Helder Bataglia, directivo del Banco Espirito Santo (Escom), de Portugal; el camboyano Sam Pa, del holding China Beiya Escom; el angoleño Manuel Vicente, de la petrolera estatal de Angola, Sonangol, y Lo Fong Hung, de Hong Kong, que se presentó como una alta ejecutiva de China Constructions y de China Railway.
Wang sólo reconoce como firmas chinas a China Railway y a China Unicom. Aunque advirtió: ningún directivo de esas compañías vino por entonces a la Argentina. Jaime conoció a Bataglia por medio del presidente de la Cámara de Comercio Argentino Portuguesa, Jorge Do Amaral, dijo éste a LA NACION. Do Amaral sostiene dos cosas: las inversiones están en marcha, pero son a largo plazo; él representaba al banco portugués, pero entendió que todas esas empresas representaban a China.
Los proyectos de inversión se referían a ferrocarriles, hidrocarburos, vivienda, comunicaciones y telecomunicaciones. Un vocero de De Vido dijo que tras el anuncio se firmaron "algunos convenios" con esas empresas -no chinas-, aunque el Gobierno nunca los informó. Y prometió dar más precisiones.
Do Amaral confirmó a LA NACION que Jaime conoció a Bataglia en agosto de 2004 y que lo vinculó a Sam Pa y a Vicente. Entre todos ellos, anudaron la letra de cinco cartas de intención y de las inversiones multimillonarias. Se dijo entonces que cambiarían el eje de la economía nacional y de la política exterior. Pero nunca participaron de las negociaciones el ministro de Economía, Roberto Lavagna, ni el canciller Rafael Bielsa, ni sus asesores".
