Gondwana Energy mit Weltklasseteam ins Jahr 2007!

In den letzten Wochen gab es einige spektakuläre Entwicklungen bei unserem Musterdepotwert Gondwana Energy (WKN: A0KFJK / ISIN: US3817533009). Neben der anstehenden Namensänderung von Gondwana Energy in FinMetal Mining Ltd. konnte das Management mit hochkarätigen Neuzugängen verstärkt werden. Gondwana Energy ist es gelungen, die ehemaligen Vice Presidents der Majorunternehmen Inco und Goldcorp. für das Unternehmen zu gewinnen. Weiterhin wurde die erste Finanzierung für die Übernahme von Finmetals OY erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Diese fundamentalen Fortschritte bringen Gondwana Energy in eine ausgezeichnete Ausgangssituation, die das Unternehmen zu dem interessantesten Juniorexplorer in Europa machen wird. Die Aktie wird sich zu dem Top-Investment für die kommenden Monate entwickeln!

Wir sind von Gondwana Energy absolut überzeugt und sehen ein deutliches Kurspotential in den kommenden Wochen und Monaten von mindestens 150%.

Warum glauben erfahrene Minenspezialisten von Goldcorp. und Inco an Finnland und die Projekte der künftigen FinMetal Mining?

In den letzten Jahren hat sich das „who is who“ der Minenindustrie in Finnland getroffen, um die verborgenen Schätze aus dem finnischen Boden zu bergen. Zu den Unternehmen, die erfolgreich in Finnland tätig sind, zählen weltweit operierende Konzerne, wie z.B. Gold Fields mit einem Megaprojekt im Palladium- und Platinsektor oder Agnico Eagle mit einem 150 Millionen Dollar Goldinvestment in Lappland. Die internationalen Konzerne schätzen besonders die ausgezeichneten Bedingungen, die sie in Finnland vorfinden. Das Land verfügt über eine hervorragende Infrastruktur, der Staat stellt die weltweit besten geologischen Datenbanken über das Land zur Verfügung und auch technologisch ist die finnische Minenindustrie im Bereich des Bioheapleaching, einem kostengünstigen Abbauprozess, WELTWEIT führend!

Inco-Nickelspezialist ist von den Projekten begeistert!

Spätestens mit der Ernennung von Robert Horn zum Direktor, hat das Unternehmen auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. Robert Horn gehört zu den bekanntesten Nickelexperten weltweit und war 9 Jahre der Vice President von Inco Ltd., einem der größten Nickelproduzenten. Weitere Stationen von Robert Horn waren CVRD und Meridian Gold! Da Gondwana Energy insgesamt über drei Nickellagerstätten verfügt, die sich als so genannte „Megadeposits“ erweisen könnten, wird die Entscheidung Robert Horns, sich nun einem Juniorminenunternehmen anzuschließen, durchaus verständlich. Robert Horn zeigte sich von dem Potential des Rautavaara und des Tainivaara-Nickelprojektes begeistert und sieht in den Projekten die Möglichkeit mit Gondwana Energy zu den europäischen Spitzenunternehmen im Minensektor aufzusteigen.

Auch auf der Edelmetallseite konnte Gondwana Energy mit dem ehemaligen Vice President von Goldcorp. Robert Van Tassell einen weiteren Spezialisten für das Unternehmen gewinnen. Er wird für die Entwicklung der Goldprojekte des Juniors verantwortlich sein. Aktuell besitzt Gondwana das Petrovaara Gold/Kupferprojekt im Outukumpo Minendistrikt. Dieses Gebiet ist für seine reichhaltigen Kupfer- und Goldvorkommen bekannt und die Gegend zählt zum größten Kupfer- und Goldabbaugebiet in Europa. Aufgrund der Verpflichtung von Goldexperten Van Tassell rechnen wir mit einem weiteren zügigen Ausbau der Edelmetallprojekte des Unternehmens und neuen Akquisitionen!

Fazit

Innerhalb kürzester Zeit hat sich Gondwana Energy (WKN: A0KFJK / ISIN: US3817533009) phantastisch entwickelt. Das Unternehmen besitzt die drei wichtigen Erfolgskomponenten, um sich zu einem erfolgreichen mittelgroßen Minenunternehmen zu entwickeln:

1. Erfahrenes Management mit einem sensationellen „Track Record“
2. Erstklassige Projekte im aufstrebenden Mineneldorado Finnland

3. Perfekter Projekt-Mix mit Edel- und Basismetallen, Hauptprojekte im boomenden Nickelmarkt

Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass Gondwana Energy in 2007 zu den Topunternehmen im Minensektor zählen wird und die Investoren noch mit einer Menge positiver Überraschungen beeindrucken kann. Die vorhandenen Projekte besitzen ein hervorragendes Potential und mit dem hochkarätige Management dürfte der Aufstieg in eine neue Bewertungsdimension nur eine Frage der Zeit sein! Unser Kursziel für die nächsten 6 bis 12 Monate liegt bei mindestens 2,50 Euro.

Yukon Resources Corp.: Sagar Property Assay Results Return Multiple Values Greater Than 1% Uranium, and Greater Than 30.0 Grams Gold

2006-12-14 14:09 ET - News Release

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/14/06

Yukon Resources Corp. (Yukon) (OTCBB: YUKR)(FWB: YE5) has received the final assays of its summer and fall exploration programs from the Sagar Uranium - Gold Property located in the Labrador Trough of Northern Quebec.

High grade uranium, gold and copper results have been returned from several areas on the property. A total of 6 samples returned values greater than 1.0% U and 27 samples were greater than 0.1% U. Gold values over 30.0 g/t occurred in 6 samples and 25 samples were greater than 1.0 g/t.

Assay Results Enhance Yukon's Interpreted Target Areas

The results support the current interpretation of a concentration of mineralization along specific geological units and associated with structures defined by geophysical surveys as well as field mapping and prospecting. In addition, new discoveries of mineralized boulders along the interpreted glacial ice direction has increased the confidence placed in areas targeted as the up ice source areas for the spectacular mineralization of the Mistamisk Boulder Field (previously reported, 70 boulders assayed an average of 64.9 g/t Au and 1.3% U) (news release Nov 10, 2006)

Areas with significant mineralization include; uranium and gold in the Eagle West area located to the south of the Mistamisk boulder field; gold-uranium in the Red Tail area situated along an important east-west bounding structure; uranium-gold in the Osprey area; copper-gold in the Crowbush area; copper-cobalt in the Tache Lake area (southwest of the Red Tail area) and copper in the Delhi Pacific and Le Geant areas.

Eagle West Target Area

The Eagle West area is approximately 1 km down ice from the Mistamisk boulder field and 2 km up ice from the uranium in water sample anomalies reported by Yukon (news release Nov 10, 2006). Samples were taken from large angular boulders and possible sub-crop along a 1km trend parallel to the Romanet River approximately 1km south of the Mistamisk boulder field. Sample material indicates that the source area is proximal to the sampled locations.

The style of mineralization (albitized green mudstone) and metal associations (lead, selenium, nickel, barium) are similar to those associated with the Mistamisk boulder field. Numerous significant samples were returned with highlights of greater than 1% U, 213.0 g/t Au, 2.91% U, 10.4 g/t Au and 2.41% U and 17.3 g/t Au.

Mistamisk Boulder Field-Extension

The main Mistamisk boulder field was expanded beyond the original 250 x 500m area with selected samples assaying 1.45% U, 43.4 g/t Au and 0.06% U and 32.5 g/t Au. Of significance, mineralized boulders were also found 1.3 km north (down ice) of the main boulder field with results including 1.89% U and 42.4 g/t Au. All these samples support the concept that the potential mineralized source area is around the previously announced water anomalies which are located several kilometers to the south of the Mistamisk boulder field.

Red Tail Target Area

The Red Tail area is located on the eastern end of an important east-west bounding structure and the mineralization occurs in outcrop associated with felsic dykes. Assay highlights include 0.53% U, 125.0 g/t Au, 0.42% Mo; 0.48% U, 37.2 g/t Au, 1.31% Mo; and 0.02% U, 159.0 g/t Au, 0.65% Mo. The mineralization also contains significant copper, up to 0.63%, selenium (1.0%) and lead (0.39%)

Crowbush Target Area

The Crowbush area is situated in the center of the interpreted east-west structure. The water geochemical survey defined an extensive area of low pH bogs surrounded by uranium - molybdenum and uranium - copper anomalies on the Crowbush Grid. The Crowbush also contains an alteration anomaly outlined by the water survey. The area contains numerous low grade uranium and copper anomalies in outcrop. Of significance, a sample of subcrop returned 5.53% Cu and 0.2 g/t Au in the alteration anomaly area. Another sample of outcrop returned greater than 1% Cu and 0.6 g/t near the pH anomaly. The water survey results have identified this area as a high priority target for the upcoming winter drill program.

Significant Copper Results

Significant copper results were returned from the Le Geant area, with grab samples grading up to 13.1% copper. From the Delhi Pacific showing samples returned up to 17.8% copper. The Tache Lake showing located south of the Red Tail area returned values of up to 11.3% copper, 0.27% cobalt and 2.41% copper and 0.59% cobalt.

A new showing in the Viking area appears to be a new style of mineralization for the Sagar area, assaying 6.07% copper, 0.17% cobalt, 0.22% mercury, and 5.69% selenium. For the first time, the exploration has identified nickel on the property with the sample assaying 1.64% nickel.

Table of Assay Results

A table of assay results is presented below for uranium, gold and copper. We have also provided a map of Sagar which outlines exploration target area, 2006 assays and previous drilling indicated by dots on the following map. These assay results highlight the high tenor and the widespread distribution of the mineralization on the Sagar Property.

Note: The company is awaiting over assay results on select samples shown as greater than 1% and these will be reported once received from the lab.

FinMetal Mining - Vice-President von Goldcorp steigt ein!

Sehr geehrte Leserinnen und Leser,

heute möchten wir Ihnen unsere erste Top-Empfehlung für 2007 aus dem EXPLORATIONSSEKTOR vorstellen. Wir sind auf ein Unternehmen gestoßen, das unserer Meinung nach die besten Voraussetzungen besitzt, sich zum Top-Europa Investment im Explorations- und Minensektor zu entwickeln.
Es handelt sich hierbei um die AKTIE von Gondwana Energy (Frankfurt WKN A0KFJK), die schon in Kürze unter dem neuen Namen FinMetal Mining firmieren wird. Nehmen Sie sich bitte die Zeit und studieren Sie unseren ausführlichen Bericht rund um das skandinavische Land Finnland und um die Projekte des Unternehmens. Wir sind uns sehr sicher, Sie werden zu dem gleichen Fazit wie wir kommen: DIESE AKTIE IST der perfekte VERVIELFACHUNGSKANDIDAT!

UNSERE TOP-EMPFEHLUNG 2007

Gondwana Energy – der NEWCOMER in FINNLAND wird zu FinMetal Mining

Das Juniorminenunternehmen GONDWANA ENERGY (Frankfurt, WKN A0KFJK, New York: GNWA) hat innerhalb weniger Monate ein sehr aussichtsreiches Portfolio von erstklassigen Nickel-, Kupfer und Goldprojekten in Finnland zusammengestellt. Durch eine sehr gewissenhafte Vorauswahl bei der Projektselektion wird das Unternehmen nach unserer Überzeugung zu einem der führenden Explorations-Juniorunternehmen in Finnland aufsteigen. Mit dem renommierten finnischen Geologenteam von Magnus Minerals hat sich das Unternehmen die Filetstücke der finnischen Minenindustrie herausgepickt, analysiert und die besten vier Projekte rechtlich gesichert.

Vize-Präsident von Goldcorp. ist überzeugt!

Am Freitag nach Börsenschluss vermeldete Gondwana, dass Robert Van Tassell in das Board of Directors aufgenommen wurde. Van Tassell ist seit 42 Jahren erfolgreich in der Minenindustrie tätig und war zuletzt 16 Jahre Vize-Präsident für den Explorationsbereich bei dem Goldproduzenten GOLDCORP. Die Liste, der unter seiner Leitung entdeckten und bis zur Produktion gebrachten Erfolgsprojekte klingt fast zu unglaublich, um wahr zu sein. Als beste Beispiele sind hier die HUSKY MINE mit einer Silberproduktion von 17 Millionen Unzen Silber und die HIGH GRADE ZONE von Goldcorp mit einer Jahresproduktion von 500.000 Unzen Gold anzuführen!
Dass sich Robert Van Tassell nun bei einem Juniorunternehmen wie Gondwana engagiert, zeigt das phantastische Potential des Unternehmens mit den vorhandenen Edel- und Basismetallprojekten.

Das Unternehmen hat sich im Zuge der Due-Dilligence Prüfung drei hochklassige Nickelprojekte im geologisch bekannten Talvivaara-Gürtel gesichert. Dieser Gesteinsgürtel, der einige der weltweit größten Nickellagerstätten beinhaltet, hat in den letzten Jahren mit der Entdeckung eines neuen Erzkörpers mit fast unglaublichen 340 Millionen Tonnen für Schlagzeilen in der Minenszene gesorgt. Dieses Vorzeigeprojekt, das ab 2009 etwa 2,5 Prozent der weltweiten Nickelproduktion abdecken soll und ein Minenleben von über 25 Jahren besitzt, gehört der Talvivaara Mining Ltd. Diese Gesellschaft wurde zum Großteil von Londoner Investmentbanken finanziert, die bereits zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt 350 Millionen Euro zur Verfügung gestellt haben. Eine Börsennotierung an der Londoner Wachstumsbörse AIM ist schon im kommenden Jahr 2007 geplant.

DREI LAGERSTÄTTEN mit WELTKLASSEPOTENTIAL!

GONDWANA ENERGY verfügt über drei potentielle Lagerstätten in der Nähe des Talvivaara Projektes, die vergleichbare Gesteinsformationen aufweisen. Somit besteht eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass auch hier ein zweites Talvivaara Projekt entdeckt werden könnte. Das Rautavaara Projekt von GONDWANA ENERGY ist das zweitgrößte Nickelprojekt im Land und Experten schätzen das Gesamtpotential des Projektes bereits jetzt auf 200 Millionen Tonnen nickelhaltiges Gestein!

Historische Produktion auf TAINIOVAARA

Ein weiteres spannendes Projekt des Unternehmens ist das Tainiovaara Nickelprojekt, das über ausgezeichnete historische Explorationsresultate verfügt. Das finnische Minenunternehmen Outokumpu baute zu Testzwecken im Jahr 1989 über 20.000 Tonnen Gestein mit einem durchschnittlichen Gehalt von 1,4 % Nickel auf dieser Liegenschaft ab. Aufgrund des hohen Erzgehaltes ist anzunehmen, das GONDWANA ENERGY mit dem Tainiovaara Projekt in der Zukunft für weiteres Aufsehen sorgen kann. Besonders das große Explorationspotential auf diesem Projekt überzeugt uns, denn bislang wurde die Lagerstätte nur bis zu einer Tiefe von 100 Meter untersucht und es wird weiteres hochgradiges Gestein in tieferen Gesteinsschichten vermutet.

Goldprojekt im Minenzentrum

Neben den Nickelprojekten ist GONDWANA ENERGY mit dem „Petrovaara“ Gold- und Kupferprojekt im „Outokumpu“ Minendistrikt hervorragend aufgestellt. Hier befindet sich das Zentrum für die Gold- und Kupferförderung Finnlands. Verschiedene Explorationsprogramme auf „Petrovaara“ zeigen signifikante Ähnlichkeiten des Projektes zur großen Outokumpu Mine. Die logische Schlussfolgerung hieraus dürfen Sie als Investor selbst ziehen...

Investment-Fazit und Kurspotential 2007:

Die Aktie von GONDWANA ENERGY (WKN A0KFJK) bietet dem Anleger eine herausragende Möglichkeit an der Entwicklung des nordeuropäischen Minensektors teilzuhaben. Wir sind uns sicher, dass sich Finnland in den nächsten Jahren zu einem der chancenreichsten Bergbaustandorte in Europa entwickeln wird. Die künftige FinMetal Mining hat sich in den letzten Wochen als sehr aussichtsreiches und spekulatives Rohstoffinvestment für den strategisch agierenden Investor positioniert. Die einzigartige Ausrichtung auf Finnland sowie die Fokussierung auf die Metalle Gold, Nickel und Kupfer werden nach unserer Meinung noch für viel Aufsehen sorgen.

Auf dem aktuellen Niveau empfehlen wir die Aktie von GONDWANA ENERGY als klaren Kauf! Das Kursziel für die nächsten 6 Monate setzen wir bei 2,50 Euro fest.

Gondwana Energy - Ab 1,10€ wird es interessant!!
Die Analysten vom tradersreport haben in ihrer aktuellen Ausgabe die Aktien der Gondwana Energy (WKN: A0KFJK / ISIN: US3817533009) im Fokus.
Die Story klingt sehr aussichtsreich und sie sind der Ansicht, dass dieser Wert noch einiges an Kurspotential hat. Das einzige was aus Sicht der Analysten vom tradersreport noch fehlt, um aus dem Kaufsetup ein Longsignal zu generieren ist die Charttechnik.
Erst, wenn der Wert die 1,05 € Marke nachhaltig auf Schlusskursbasis überwunden hat, sollte eine erste Kaufposition eingegangen werden. Diese Voaussetzung sehen sie bei einem Schlusskurs größer 1,10 € als erfüllt an. Die Analysten vom tradersreport würden ein Stopbuylimit von 1,10 € und dann ein Verkaufslimit von 1,60 € legen.

Robert A. Horn Appointed to the Company's Board of Directors

2006-12-14 09:15 ET - News Release

TAMPERE, FINLAND -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/14/06

Gondwana Energy Ltd. (OTCBB: GNWA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Robert Horn of Victoria, British Columbia as a new director to the Company's Board of Directors.

Mr. Horn has not had any material direct or indirect interest in any of our transactions or proposed transactions over the last two years. A description of his business experience is set forth below.

Bob Horn is a registered professional geoscientist with more than 38 years experience in exploration and mining in South America, Africa, Australia, Europe, China, Indonesia, Canada and the United States. Bob graduated in 1965 in geology with a B.Sc. (Hons) from Exeter University, England, and a M.Sc. from London University in 1967. He was employed by RST in Zambia in mine geology and exploration from 1967 to 1970, and in a similar position with EZ in Australia from 1970 to 1974 when he was appointed in-house technical consultant to Docegeo, the non-ferrous exploration subsidiary of CVRD in Brazil. He joined BP Minerals in 1980 as exploration manager, Europe, and subsequently vice-president, exploration, BP Canada. On the closure of this company in 1993, he moved to the U.S. as vice-president, exploration, of FMC Gold where he remained until his appointment as vice-president, exploration, of Inco Limited. In February 2004 he retired from Inco as a full-time employee and now acts as part-time executive advisor to the company. He is currently a Director of Meridian Gold Inc. and Skye Resources Inc.

Bob has served on several committees in the European Union and Canada and on the NEA/OECD committee on world uranium reserves. He was Chairman of the Ontario Geological Survey Advisory Board from 1997 to 2002 and is currently a member of the Geological Survey of Canada advisory committee. He is a Professional Geoscientist in the province of Ontario. Mr. Horn was the 2004 Winner of A.O. Dufresne Award in recognition of his "integration of sound business principles with innovative exploration models and methods to create value for his employers, the mining industry and the Canadian public."

"Bob Horn's appointment to our Board of Directors is an important step towards building a strong management team capable of executing on our vision to develop economic ore bodies in Finland. Bob will actively work with our Finnish-based mining team to ensure that the extensive historical data available on our advanced gold and nickel projects is accurately analyzed and that all future exploration programs are properly designed and implemented. It is truly a pleasure to have Bob as a key part of the FinMetal team," stated Dan Hunter, CEO of Gondwana Energy Ltd.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Horn stated, "It is no secret within the mining community that if you are looking to develop economic nickel deposits there are only a few places in the world today that offer realistic potential for success. Earlier this week I accompanied FinMetal Mining executives on a due diligence trip to Finland where I met with officials from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) as well as FinMetal Mining Oy. I am pleased to report that the potential for sulphide-hosted nickel development in Finland is outstanding."

Mr. Horn continued, "The GTK has done an excellent job of carrying out an extensive amount of historical geological work, which has positioned Finland's mining industry for success. The Finnish government's commitment to supporting the development of their mining potential is refreshing in a world where fewer and fewer countries are embracing free-market policies."

Gondwana Energy Ltd. has previously announced its intention to change its name to better reflect its new direction. The proposed new name will be FinMetal Mining Ltd. and shareholder approval for the name change will be sought as soon as practical.

Robert Van Tassell Appointed to the Company's Board of Directors

2006-12-01 17:48 ET - News Release

TAMPERE, FINLAND -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/01/06

Gondwana Energy Ltd. (OTCBB: GNWA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Robert Van Tassell of High River, Alberta as a new director to the Company's Board of Directors.

Mr. Van Tassell has not had any material direct or indirect interest in any of our transactions or proposed transactions over the last two years. A description of his business experience is set forth below.

Robert Van Tassell is a fortunate addition to Gondwana's board of directors, due to his world-class experience and wide-ranging success. Involved in the Canadian mining industry for 42 years before retiring from full-time ventures in 1998, he spent the last 16 years as Vice President of Exploration for precious metals with Goldcorp Inc., formerly known as Dickenson Mines.

Exploration teams led by him are credited with such significant discoveries as the Husky Mine, which produced over 17 million ounces of silver, the Minto copper deposit, currently under development for production by Sherwood Copper and more recently Goldcorp's famed High Grade Zone which is currently producing in excess of 500,000 ounces of gold per year at a grade of over 2.0 ounces per ton gold. Mr. Van Tassell's extensive experience with gold, silver and copper mining makes him uniquely qualified to serve on the Gondwana board.

"Robert's success in helping to discover some of the more famous mines discovered in the Canadian Shield should provide a tremendous benefit to our company as we move forward in Finland. Robert's experience is balanced between precious and base metals as is our current portfolio in Finland which consists of gold, copper and nickel assets," stated Dan Hunter, CEO of Gondwana Energy Ltd.

From 1984 through 1993, Mr. Van Tassell served as a board member of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) -- as Chairman of the Program and Environmental Committees. At the PDAC's annual conference in 2000, his many contributions to the geological community were honored when he was presented the coveted Special Achievement Award.

Mr. Van Tassell has also served as a director of the Yukon Chamber of mines for eleven years, two of them as President. He served four terms on the board of the Northern Resource Conferences, two of them as Chairman and has taught introductory and advanced prospecting courses for the Chamber of Mines. He is a life member of the CIM and the Geological Association of Canada.

Reached for comment, Mr. Van Tassell stated, "I have been aware of the potential for new mine discoveries in Finland for a long time now. It is no secret that Finland's untapped geology is strikingly similar to that found in Canada's Canadian shield. It is with great optimism that I add my experience to the board of Gondwana and embark with the team to fully exploit our initial assets and to assist with the evaluation of additional acquisitions."

Mr. Van Tassell continued, "I believe the Company's approach to building a company focused on the development of both gold and base metals, especially nickel, should prove a winning formula. It is rare today to find a country such as Finland which offers first world geopolitical stability while simultaneously offering third world mining possibilities and I am proud to be part of the team."

Gondwana Energy Ltd. has previously announced its intention to change its name to better reflect its new direction. The proposed new name will be FinMetal Mining Ltd. and shareholder approval for the name change will be sought as soon as practical.

HELSINKI, FINLAND -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/28/06

Gondwana Energy Ltd. (OTCBB: GNWA) is pleased to announce that today it closed on the agreement to purchase, from Mr. Peter Lofberg of Tampere, Finland, 100 percent of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of FinMetal Mining OY, a company organized pursuant to the corporate laws of Finland.

FinMetal Mining OY owns the option to acquire a 100% interest in 4 different mineral properties known as Petrovaara, Poskijärvi-Kokka, Rautavaara and Tainiovaara along with all existing property data. This option is from Magnus Minerals Ltd., a Finnish-based company focused on advanced mineral exploration in Finland.

Magnus Minerals Ltd. has assisted in satisfying Gondwana's due diligence by supplying detailed geological reports utilizing historical data, including previous drill results for each property. Ongoing historical data analysis is being performed with the assistance of Magnus to help determine the best direction for our upcoming drill programs.

The shares of FinMetal Mining OY were acquired for a total purchase price of EUR 200,000 (Euros) and the issuance of 1 million shares of common stock of Gondwana.

Commencing with the acquisition, the Company has appointed Mr. Peter Löfberg to its Board of Directors and as the President of both Gondwana and our wholly owned subsidiary FinMetal Mining OY. The Company also intends to hold a shareholders meeting as soon as practical to change its name to FinMetal Mining Ltd., to more accurately reflect its new business direction.

"Today's announcement is a major turning point for Gondwana and an exciting new direction for the company. Our acquisition of FinMetal Mining OY positions us with an initial portfolio of advanced gold, copper and nickel properties and brings with it domestic management capable of executing on our mission to develop ore bodies in Finland. With companies such as Agnico-Eagle Mines and Talvivaara Mining Ltd.'s recent successes in both gold and nickel respectively, we believe the potential for success in Finland is strong. We now intend to expand our board of directors and appoint officers who possess the requisite experience to maximize our Finnish opportunities," stated Daniel Hunter, the company's Chairman and CEO.

Mr. Hunter continues by saying, "I am optimistic there will be additional properties of interest to FinMetal as we expand our operations in Finland. In particular, the country is believed to be one of the few underdeveloped mining areas in the world today that is capable of yielding sulphide-hosted nickel deposits. We intend to fully expand on that potential and continue to evaluate additional properties of interest to compliment today's acquisition."

Abcourt agrees to buy Aldermac mine

2006-11-22 10:13 ET - News Release

Mr. Renaud Hinse reports

ABCOURT MINES INC. SIGNS AN OPTION TO BUY THE FORMER ALDERMAC PROPERTY IN THE ROUYN-NORANDA AREA WITH SUBSTANTIAL HISTORICAL COPPER-ZINC RESOURCES

Abcourt Mines Inc. signed an option to buy the former Aldermac mine in the Rouyn-Noranda area on Nov. 15, 2006. This option is conditional upon the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Abcourt board.

The Aldermac mine is a former producer with about 1.7 million short tons of historical resources with a grade of 1.5 per cent to 1.6 per cent copper, about 3 per cent zinc and some precious metal values.

The property is located about 13 kilometres west of Rouyn-Noranda, in northwestern Quebec, along Highway 117, near the Ontario Northland railway line. The mine is serviced by a three-compartment 1,625-foot shaft (495 metres) and drifts on nine levels. The mine was in production from 1936 to 1943 and about two million short tons of massive sulphides containing 1.78 per cent copper, 0.2 ounce per ton silver, 0.02 ounce per ton gold and an unknown amount of zinc were extracted. Because the price of zinc was very low, it was usual at that time to discard the zinc in the tailings rather than make a zinc concentrate.

In the old mine, the Aldermac orebodies comprised three major lenses (No. 3, 4 and 5) accompanied by several small pods considered uneconomic at that time. The ore lenses strike roughly east, dip steeply to the south and are only roughly conformable with the enclosing rocks. The contact of massive ore with the underlying stringer-type mineralization and host tuff units suggest that the ore formed dome-like features. The entire orebody measures 180 feet in thickness, 300 feet along strike and 1,400 feet in the down-dip direction.

The ore is mineralogically quite simple, comprising principally pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite and carrying minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite and magnetite in a gangue of quartz. From this ore, two concentrates were produced: a copper concentrate which ran 22 per cent copper, 0.06 ounce per ton gold and 3.5 ounce per ton silver; and a pyrite concentrate assaying 46 per cent sulphur (Northern Miner; Nov. 5, 1936). One hundred short tons of ore produced 8.18 short tons of copper concentrate and 55 short tons of pyrite concentrate.

The No. 4 lens was a one-million-ton massive pyrite body containing an average content of 1.75 per cent copper and 1.23 per cent zinc with the marginal vein-like bodies of pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite rich material. A small amount of the present dump material on the property consists of significant amounts of visible banded sphalerite with the zinc rich layers averaging one to two centimetres in thickness alternating with pyrite layering up to 10 centimetres thick. This type of mineralization was either ignored by the miners and left as uneconomic pods of massive sulphides or discarded in the tailings as smelters charges penalized concentrates with a high zinc content.

Below the ninth level, the massive ore of the No. 4 zone passes into disseminated sulphides contained within a highly chloritic alteration zone.

In contrast to the No. 4 zone, the No. 3 lens measured 260 feet along strike, 30 feet in thickness and extended 470 feet down dip. This lens contained about 220,000 short tons of massive pyrrhotite averaging 2.68 per cent copper and 2 per cent zinc. This ore was zoned; massive pyrrhotite formed the bulk of the actual part of the mass while pyrite occupied the margins and graded into pyritiferous-siliceous fragmental rocks.

No information can be found on the No. 5 lens, which reportedly contained around 100,000 short tons of ore.

In 1987, prior to the discovery of the No. 7 and 8 zones, Seadrift International Exploration Ltd., which later became Deak Resources Corp. and subsequently A.J Perron Gold Corp., estimated the ore reserves in the old shaft area as shown below.

Description Short tons % Copper % Zinc

Old workings 412 feet to 698 feet depth 373,480 1.76 Not determined
Shaft pillar first to ninth levels 100,000 1.50 to 2.00 Not determined
1954 drilling 732 feet to 1,125 feet depth 150,000 1.11 3.59
623,480 1.60 plus or minus Not determined

This information comes from a Deak Resources report titled Aldermac Technical Summary dated
November, 1989, from an unknown author, filed with the Department of Natural Resources of Quebec.

Subsequently, detailed statigraphic drilling during 1987 and 1988 to the east of the Aldermac mine site resulted in the discovery by Seadrift International Exploration Ltd. of three new mineralized massive sulphide lenses less than 100 feet from an exploration drift on the ninth level. After the initial discovery hole in August of 1987 a total of 25 drill holes totalling about 41,400 feet of diamond drilling were collared to delineate these lenses.

The No. 8 sulphide zone lies approximately 1,000 feet east of the Aldermac shaft at about a vertical depth of 1,000 feet. The No. 7 zone, which may be the faulted extension of the No. 8 lens lies about 200 feet to the south. Detailed core logging by Seadrift geologists (principally Paul Jones) indicates that the new mineralization clearly represents a classical Noranda type massive sulphide deposit, as evidenced by the crude metal zoning between the copper and zinc mineralization as well as the presence of an underlying hydrothermal vent containing stringer-type copper mineralization.

The No.8 zone is currently understood to be an irregularly shaped pod or lens, dipping at 45 degrees north along an east-west axis on strike with the mine series hosting the old Aldermac mine ore lenses. The dimensions of the No. 8 lens has been established to be 300 feet along strike, 350 feet down dip with a thickness of 60 feet. In addition to the main (No. lens, an upper zone occurs 100 feet up dip from the No. 8 pod. The No. 7 zone, which was actually intersected first, lies 200 feet to the south and east of the main No. 8 zone.

The massive sulphide mineralization in these lenses ranges in drill core intersections from 25 to 161 feet with the grades varying from 1 to 2 per cent copper, 1 to 5 per cent zinc, 0.5 to 1.05 ounce per ton silver and trace to 0.04 ounce per ton gold. Individual assays ranged up to 7.4 per cent copper, 21.05 per cent Zn and 0.15 ounce per ton Au. A crude zonation from a copper rich base to a zinc enriched upper level within the massive sulphides has been noted.

In part, the No. 8 massive sulphide pod is in contact with a discordant, irregular pipe-shaped zone of intense chloritic alteration and copper sulphide, stringer-type mineralization.

The No. 7 zone differs from the No. 8 zone in that no chloritic alteration pipe is present. The syenite intrusive complex, which abuts the sulphides has either engulfed and destroyed the footwall rocks or displaced the alteration zone. Further drilling may yet enlarge the No. 7 zone.

The historical ore reserves of the No. 7 and No. 8 zones, as calculated by Wright Engineers, a well-known firm of consultants, include 1.15 million short tons of proven and probable reserves grading 1.5 per cent copper, 4.13 per cent zinc, 0.91 ounce per ton silver and 0.014 ounce per ton gold.

This information also comes from a Deak Resources report titled Aldermac Technical Summary dated November, 1989, from an unknown author, filed with the Department of Natural Resources of Quebec.

The ore reserves reported in the Aldermac technical summary were prepared before the introduction of National Instrument 43-101 and would today be considered as resources of various categories. No additional information is available at this time and the historical resources have not been verified and should not be relied upon. However the company believes that these estimates, particularly the one prepared by Wright Engineers, were estimated by competent persons. This statement is made by Renaud Hinse, professional engineer, president of the company. Mr. Hinse is a qualified person.

Abcourt\'s ambition is to become an important producer of base metals in particular zinc. It plans to start with the construction of an open-pit mine with a 1,800-tonne-per-day mill at Barraute, Que., and to make this mine its main operating base. The Aldermac mine with substantial copper-zinc resources could become in the near term a satellite operation which could be used either to extend the life of the Abcourt-Barvue mine or to justify a mill expansion to treat both ore at the same time.

Finnland hat sich in den letzten zwei Jahren zu einem wahren Eldorado für die Minenindustrie in EUROPA entwickelt. Das kleine Land im hohen Norden gehört zu den wichtigsten Rohstofflieferanten Europas. Neben der Holzindustrie erlebt gerade die Minenindustrie einen enormen Boom. Gold, Silber, Zink, Palladium oder Nickel gehören zu den wichtigsten Metallen die Finnland zu bieten hat, gerade deshalb hat sich das skandinavische Land zu den beliebtesten Explorationsländer in Europa entwickelt. Hierfür gibt es auch eine Vielzahl von schwerwiegenden Gründen. Nicht umsonst investieren internationale Bergbaukonzerne hunderte Millionen USD in die Weiterentwicklung von Rohstoffprojekten in Finnland. Ein herausragendes Beispiel hierfür ist einer der führenden Goldproduzenten Nordamerikas Agnico Eagle, die im November letzten Jahres das finnische Minenunternehmen Riddarhyttan Resources übernommen haben. Hauptziel der Übernahme war das SUURIKUUSIKKO Gold Projekt im Norden Finnlands, für dessen Entwicklung Agnico Eagle 150 Millionen USD bereitgestellt hat ! Der Grund für die Kaufeslust wurde dann schnell klar als Agnico Eagle im Februar 2006 bereits eine bestätigte Ressource von 2,3 Millionen Unzen Gold vorweisen konnte! Die Produktion soll ab Mitte 2008 mit einer jährlichen Produktionsmenge von 150.000 Feinunzen gestartet werden.

Finnland - BESTE geologische Voraussetzungen

Geologisch gesehen ist Finnland mit dem CANADIAN SHIELD vergleichbar, woraus sich das Potential für riesige Rohstofflagerstätten ergibt. Ein sehr positiver Aspekt ist ebenfalls die lange Bergbauhistorie des Landes. Bereits im Jahre 1540 fand der erste Abbau von Eisenoxid statt. Weiterhin liefert der Staat den in Finnland tätigen Unternehmen die weltweit umfangreichsten geologischen Datenbanken, wodurch die Exploration für viele Unternehmen extrem erleichtert hat und die Trefferquote enorm anhebt! Bis Anfang der 1990er Jahre fand die gesamte Exploration durch den Staat statt, so dass Finnland für Unternehmen erst seit wenigen Jahren zugänglich ist. Diese Tatsache erklärt auch, warum es noch viele unentdeckte Lagerstätten gibt.

Pyhäsalmi Zink- und Kupfermine in Zentralfinnland:

Auf dem Weg zum Big Player in Finnland!

Unsere heutige brandheiße Neuvorstellung GONDWANA ENERGY (WKN A0KFJK) konnte sich ein Portfolio von extrem aussichtsreichen Nickel-, Kupfer und Goldprojekten in Finnland sichern, die das Unternehmen zu einem der hochinteressanten Skandinavienplayer aufsteigen lässt. Aufgrund des erfahrenen und überaus erfolgreichen Managements steht Gondwana Energy nun kurz davor, sich zu einem der führenden Minenunternehmen in Skandinavien zu entwickeln. Auch die geplante Namensänderung in „FinMetal“ bringt die künftige Strategie des Unternehmens deutlich zum Ausdruck.

Brandheisse Nickelprojekte im Talvivaara Nickelgürtel! Die künftige FinMetal hat sich drei hochklassige Nickelprojekte im geologisch weltbekannten Talvivaara Gebiet gesichert. Dieser Gesteinsgürtel gehört zu den größten Nickellagerstätten auf unserem Globus. Die bis jetzt größte Entdeckung mit unglaublichen 340 Millionen Tonnen nickelhaltigem Gestein gehört der Talvivaara Mining Ltd., eine hauptsächlich von Londoner Investmentbanken finanzierte Unternehmung. Dieses Projekt soll ab 2009 etwa 2,5 Prozent der WELTWEITEN Nickelproduktion liefern und ein Minenleben von 25 Jahren besitzen! Das aus London gestemmte Finanzierungsvolumen beträgt 350 Millionen Euro und die Börsennotiz ist für 2007 an der Londoner AIM geplant. Es wird erwartet, dass das Unternehmenen mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von über einer halben Milliarde Euro startet.

Hat Gondwana Energy das nächste Mega-Projekt ?

Gondwana Energy verfügt über drei potentielle Nickellagerstätten in der Nähe des Talvivaara Projektes, die vergleichbare Gesteinsformationen aufweisen. Gondwana Energy gilt deshalb in Fachkreisen noch als kleiner Bruder von Talvivaara, wobei die gesamte Gesellschaft noch am Anfang einer phantastischen Entwicklung steht!

Auch im Edelmetallsektor ist Gondwana Energy mit dem Petrovara Gold- und Kupferprojekt im Outokumpo Minendistrikt hervorragend aufgestellt. In der Gegend wurden seit 1913 über 2 Milliarden Pfund Kupfer abgebaut. Verschiedene Explorationsprogramme zeigen signifikante Parallelen des Petrovara Projektes zur Outukumpo Mine, wodurch eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit gegeben ist, dass auch hier ein vergleichbares Mega-Projekt entstehen könnte.

Fazit und Bewertung

Ein Investment in Gondwana Energy (Frankfurt, WKN A0KFJK) bietet dem Anleger die herausragende Chance, von Anfang an beim Aufbau einer neuen europäischen Bergbauerfolgsstory teilzuhaben. Für besondere Phantasie sorgen die Projekte im Talvivaara Nickelgürtel und hier besonders das Rautavara Projekt, das auf dem besten Weg ist, sich zu einem vergleichbaren Megaprojekt wie Talvivaara zu entwickeln. Während Talvivaara ausschließlich von Londoner Investmentbanken finanziert wird, hat der Investor nun die Möglichkeit über die Aktie von Gondwana Energy an der Entwicklung eines Weltklasseprojektes im Metalleldorado Finnland teilzuhaben. Weiteres Potential sehen wir in den Kupfer- und Goldprojekten des Unternehmens. Dieser Mix aus Edel- und Basismetallprojekten bietet dem Anleger eine hervorragende Risiko- und Chancenoptimierung!

ABCOURT MINES

SAUBILLIG und noch viel mehr!

Die Preise für Zink und Silber eilen von einem Hoch zum nächsten. Vor wenigen Tagen überschritt Zink die magische Marke von 2 USD je Pfund und Silber steht knapp vor dem Bruch der 13 USD je Unze. Diese beiden Metalle sind in den letzten Wochen verstärkt in den Blickpunkt der Öffentlichkeit gerückt und das ansteigende Volumen in verschiedenen Silber- und Zinkjuniorunternehmen lässt darauf schließen, dass hier eine Welle von Käufen in den nächsten Wochen zu erwarten ist. Ein Unternehmen, das besonders von der aktuellen Marktsituation deutlich profitieren sollte, ist das kanadische Silber- und Zinkminenunternehmen ABCOURT MINES (WKN: 862198 / ISIN: CA00288E3005).

Entwicklung Zink 12 Monate

Hochprofitable Silber- und Zinkmine PLUS Goldmine mit ausge- zeichneten Explorationsergebnissen!

Abcourt Barvue ist das Hauptprojekt von ABCOURT MINES und zählt zugleich zu den größten Silber- und Zinkprojekten in Kanada. Ziel der Unternehmensführung ist es, Barvue schnellstmöglich wieder in Produktion zu bringen. Das Barvue Projekt befindet sich bereits in einem fortgeschrittenen Stadium und besitzt nach einer unabhängigen Berechnung gemäß dem kanadischen Ressourcenstandard National Instrument 43-101 über 500 Millionen Pfund Zink und über 20 Millionen Unzen Silber. Aktuell arbeitet das Management des Unternehmens an der Fertigstellung der Durchführbarkeitsstudie für die Inbetriebnahme des Abcourt Barvue Projektes. Die bereits vorhandene Durchführbarkeitsstudie ging davon aus, dass eine Produktion bei einem Silberpreis von 7,00 USD und einem Zinkpreis von 0,53 USD überaus profitabel sein kann. Da sich die Silber- und Zinkpreise seit dieser Studie fast verdoppelt haben, ist nun eine Produktion um ein Vielfaches profitabler geworden. Weiter bietet das Barvue Projekt ein erstklassiges Explorationspotential, da die bisherigen Explorationsarbeiten nur bis zu einer Tiefe von 300 Metern durchgeführt wurden. Für die ersten 4-5 Jahre kann Barvue als Übertagemine geführt werden, was zu sehr niedrigen Abbaukosten führen wird.

Das zweite Projekt mit hochexplosivem Potential ist die Elder Goldmine. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine ehemalige Untertagegoldmine, die bis zu einer Tiefe von etwa 1.000 Metern auf vierzehn Ebenen Abbautätigkeiten vorweisen kann. Aufgrund der vorhandenen Infrastruktur, die mit ungefähr 13 Millionen CAD bewertet werden kann, könnte auch diese alte Mine innerhalb kürzester Zeit in Produktion gebracht werden. Elder verfügt aktuell über historische Ressourcen von 140.000 Feinunzen Gold, die jedoch durch ein aktuell stattfindendes Explorationsprogramm mit relativ geringem Kapitalaufwand vervielfacht werden sollen. Die kürzlich veröffentlichten Explorationsergebnisse mit Rekordwerten von bis zu 40 Gramm Gold pro Tonne zeigen, dass mit der Elder Mine ein kleine aber auch sehr feine Goldmine vorhanden ist, die schnell in Produktion gebracht werden kann.

Charttechnisch und Fundamental KLARER KAUF

Nach dem Bruch des Abwärtstrends der seit April den Kursverlauf beherrschte, konnte eine stark anziehende Umsatztätigkeit auf der Aktie festgestellt werden. Der nächste Widerstand liegt bei 0,90 CAD (0,62 Euro), sollte dieser kurzfristig gebrochen werden, hat die Aktie Aufwärtspotential bis zu den Jahreshöchstständen bei fast 1,40 CAD.

Die fundamentalen Aspekte lassen die Aktie von ABCOURT MINES weiterhin zu den absoluten Schnäppchen im Explorerbereich werden. Bei einem aktuellen Aktienkurs von 0,86 CAD erhalten Aktionäre einen Wert der vorhandenen Rohstoffe von 36,70 CAD (!) je Anteilschein! Bei einer fairen Bewertung mit 10% des aktuellen Ressourcenwertes liegt der faire Wert je Aktie bei mindestens 3,60 CAD! Diese eklatante Unterbewertung sollten Sie unbedingt jetzt zum Einstieg bei ABCOURT MINES nutzen!

Fazit:

Wenige Unternehmen im Juniorsektor sind soweit entwickelt wie ABCOURT MINES (WKN: 862198 / ISIN: CA00288E3005) mit seiner Übertagemine Abcourt-Barvue und der Elder Goldmine. Die kürzlich veröffentlichten Explorationsergebnisse bei der Elder Goldmine verdeutlichen, dass das Unternehmen neben einem der größten Silber- und Zinkprojekte in Kanada auch noch ein hochattraktives Goldprojekt mit hervorragendem Explorations- potential besitzt! Die hohen Silber- und Zinkpreise machen eine künftige Produktion extrem profitabel und die Chance für eine erfolgreiche Produktionsaufnahme ist mit den hohen Preisen extrem gestiegen. Das Kursziel für diese extrem unterbewertete Perle aus dem Juniorsektor, die auch ein perfektes Übernahmeziel darstellt, liegt bei 2,10 Euro bzw. 3,00 CAD für die nächsten 6-12 Monate!

Finland, Metso Minerals and Varma Mutual Pension
Insurance have formed a co-operation and financing
consortium to ensure adequate financial and technical resources to
take the Talvivaara project through a Bankable Feasibility Study and
associated studies to an investment decision. As a result, Talvivaara
has €8-10 million in available funds to spend on research, development
and feasibility studies, mainly during 2006.
The Talvivaara polymetallic deposits in Sotkamo, Finland, comprise
the largest known sulphide nickel resource in Europe with 340 Mt in
classified nickel resources, with substantial amounts of copper, zinc
and cobalt. The orebodies are situated 25-30 km southeast of
Kajaani and 20-25 km southwest of the centre of Sotkamo, in a largely
uninhabited part of the Kainuu district.
The consortium not only brings world leading technological knowhow
and financial strength into the project, but also offers to
Talvivaara exceptionally advanced research and development
resources in hydrometallurgy and bulk materials handling. Besides
the newly formed consortium, Talvivaara's partners include leading
global companies like Sandvik-Tamrock, Grundfos and Outokumpu.
Talvivaara also has very active co-operation with the Geological
Survey of Finland, Tampere University of Technology, Helsinki
University of Technology, National Technology Agency of Finland
(TEKES) and Kainuu Employment and Economic Development
Centre.
OMG Finland is a subsidiary of OM Group, which is a leading,
vertically integrated international producer and marketer of valueadded,
metal-based specialty chemicals, powders, alloys and related
materials. Metso, covered elsewhere in this issue, is of course a
world leader in mineral processing and bulk handling equipment.
Varma Mutual is the largest private sector pension insurance
company and the biggest private investor in Finland.
Talvivaara started a large in-situ bio heap leaching demonstration
at Sotkamo in August 2005. The technology should enable cost
effective, environmentally friendly exploitation of the resource using
locally occurring bacteria as leaching agents. The company aims to
start production in 2009. When in full-scale operation, the mine will
produce 30,000 t/y of nickel per annum. Substantial amounts of
by-product copper, zinc and cobalt will also be produced. The life of
the mine is estimated at 25 years or more. The deposits will be
mined as open pits with very favourable waste to ore ratios. The
location is ideal, providing access to labour as well as power, water,
and rail and road transportation.

Nickel boom
Pertti Lamberg, Senior Research Metallurgist
- Applied Mineralogy with Outokumpu
Research (see Tails page) explains why
Finland is in the middle of nickel exploration
boom. “The most significant nickel
resources of the EU are found in Finland,
other important resources are in Spain,
Greece, Albania and Sweden. The reasons
for [the boom] are high nickel price, high
nickel ore potential in Finland, good
infrastructure and friendly mining legislation.
Publicly available exploration data is
exceptionally extensive and of good quality.
There are numerous nickel mining and
exploration projects, e.g. Talvivaara in
Sotkamo, Keivitsa in Sodankylä, Finn
Nickel’s projects in Southern Finland and
exploration projects of several international
mining companies, mainly in Lappland.
Vesa-Jussi Penttila, CEO of FinnNickel
notes his country’s long history of nickel
production. Mining started at the Makola
(late 1930s) and the Kaulatunturi (early
1940s) nickel deposits, and over 40 Mt of
nickel ore has been mined since. Nickel
smelting and refining started, using the
electric furnace, in the early 1940s at
Kolosjoki. Flash smelting began in the 1960s
in Harjavalta and Pressure Acid Leach (PAL) at
OMG in Kokkola in 1993. He describes
Fennoscandia as one of the world’s greatest
nickel smelting and refining areas, including
Finland with Norilsk Nikel’s Severonikel and
Petchenganikel, and Falconbridge’s
Kristiansand. He says Fennoscandian smelting
and refining capacity is about a quarter of
world production, all located less than 1,000
km from FinnNickel’s deposits.
His company’s strategy is based on
acquisitions from Outokumpu and the
Ministry of Trade and Industry – old,
‘forgotten’ deposits. He does not plan any
grassroots exploration. Both open pit and
underground mines are possible, and would
be operated by contractors. He expects
flotation to be the main process to produce
nickel concentrate, but leaching will “be
carefully examined.”
For instance, the Äetsä, Mäntymäki deposit
is within 15 km of Dragon’s Vammala
concentrator (which has spare capacity).
FinnNickel has large resources to develop
new mines – 5.8 Mt of nickel ore and 2.8
Mt of copper-cobalt ores. It also has
sufficient ore reserves to develop fast track
operations – 2.2 Mt of nickel ore and 0.14 Mt
of copper-cobalt ore. Pentilla considers the
Valkeisenranta-Särkiniemi-Sarkalahti mining
camp in Leppävirta community to be his
best prospect.

HELSINKI, FINLAND--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 3, 2006 -- Gondwana Energy Ltd. (OTC BB:GNWA.OB - News) is pleased to announce that on November 2nd it executed an agreement to purchase, from Mr. Peter Lofberg of Tampere Finland, 100 percent of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of FinMetal Mining Oy, a company organized pursuant to the corporate laws of Finland.

FinMetal Mining's option covers the following advanced mineral properties in Finland.

Petrovaara - a Cu-Au property with strong till geochem anomaly. Past exploration suggests possible Outokumpu-type mineralization along major 2-km long SW-NE trending structures.

Poskijarvi - Kokka - Potential for low-grade high-tonnage Talvivaara-type nickel deposit. Located at the south end of the Talvivaara Nickel Belt along a 25 km long geophysical anomaly.

Rautavaara - Located in the Talvivaara Belt, Rautavaara is a Talvivaara-type Ni-Cu-Zn deposit, situated along a 10-km long NW-SE trending geophysical anomaly.

Tainiovaara - a 'Kambalda-type' komatiitic high-grade Ni deposit situated on NW-SE trending magnetic anomaly.

The shares of FinMetal Mining OY will be acquired for a total purchase price of EUR 200,000 (Euros) payable on or before the 30th of November, 2006 and the issuance of 1 million shares of common stock of Gondwana. The closing of the purchase is to take place on the 30th day of November, 2006.

The Company has also agreed to appoint Mr. Peter Löfberg to its board of directors and as our President and CEO commencing at the time of Closing. The Company also intends to change its name to more accurately reflect its new direction.

"I am extremely optimistic about the potential of FinMetal's gold, copper and nickel projects. Volatile markets demand that management embrace an approach to commodity selection, regional selection and ultimately, project specific selections which can position the company to prosper in any likely economic scenario. Today's announcement is the only the beginning of what we believe will be a very exciting future for shareholders," stated Daniel Hunter, the company's Chairman and CEO.

Mr. Hunter continues by saying, "Finland, a member of the EU, is a revitalized mineral-rich country that has historically been a top producer of copper and nickel and is now being compared to Canada's famous Canadian shield which has birthed numerous precious and base metals mines. Similar to Canada, Finland welcomes foreign participation in the development of their highly promising mining sector and shareholders are subsequently able to reap the potential rewards for the risks they accept. Additional major mining companies like Inco, Anglo American and Goldfields all recognize the favorable political climate and vast geological promise Finland has to offer. We consider ourselves fortunate to have successfully negotiated this transaction with FinMetal Mining OY and to have the opportunity to be part of Finland's dynamic success.
