A MARBLE MINE PROJECT

IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Page 3: Mine Project Presentation

INTRODUCTIONThe owners of 36 hectares (89 acres) of property in the elevated area near the

capitalcity of Santo Domingo have a desire to sell the land and its mineral deposits

comprisingof limestone. The new buyer of the property, plans to harvest the

limestone shale and marble for commercial and residential use within the Dominican

Republic, as well as North, Central, South America and parts of Europe.The property will be developed for the quarry mining of the deposits including an

alternate access road to and from the mine to avoid heavy traffic in the nearby towns.

Ultimately, the operation will be expanded to include manufacturing and retail distribution

of the products to the end users.This high quality marble is ideally situated for distribution in the Americas and for

manufacturing with the abundant, low cost labor available in the Dominican Republic; this

coupled with the proximity to the end user makes this project a very attractive investment.

In all the operations, we will be ecologically minded to preserve air, land and water quality

within the Dominican Republic. Our ultimate goal is to return the used land to its original

condition.

Page 4: Mine Project Presentation

INTRODUCTION ContinuedThe volume of the marble utilized within the business plan was

obtained by using aprominent geologist’s survey which states that by simply taking a

single strip of marbleone meter thick over the base of the property, and extrapolating it

over to the recoverablevolume on the property.

The dollar value of the marble grew from the simple wholesale of the mined marble at

$1.7 billion dollars to the ultimate value of the marble when it is sold to the final user. Of

course, these values do incorporate many more operations including cutting, polishing,

marketing, and final fitting into the retail customer’s location.The largest part of the first stage investment is required to purchase

the property and itsmineral rights from the owners via its Broker and Mining

Corporation, who now has complete legal control ofthe sale. Once the sale has taken pace, a new mining entity was

formed which will head all operational parts of development, mining,manufacturing, marketing, sales, and procurement of the

aforementioned mineraldeposits.

CORPRATE AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The world market for dimensional natural stone at the retail level has been valued at 60

billion US Dollars per year, as offered by the Floor Covering Weekly. And, most

importantly, it is currently growing at a rate of 20% per year. Since a large percentage of

the natural stone being used in the United States and the Dominican Republic comes

from Europe, the simple geographic location of a marble quarry in the Dominican

Republic becomes obviously attractive.There are a number of marble and granite mines excavating the

mineral deposits in theDominican Republic, however very little is currently being exported

as there is a greatdomestic demand for limestone deposits, specially the developing

tourism areas of theDominican Republic. Currently the demand is so great that these

targeted areas are stillimporting a great amount of limestone. We will attack the domestic

market as well as theinternational export market.

Another attractive feature is the relatively low labor rates for an intelligent and industrious

labor force. For this reason and others, we plan to proceed beyond the quarry extraction

of the stone. Especially for the market in the Dominican Republic and the Americas, we

plan to cut, polish, and manufacture our own selection of colors for direct installation. The

rapidly growing tourist economy in the Dominican Republic is hungry for the service. We

will also set up independent retail and distribution centers in the Dominican Republic and

the Americas

Page 6: Mine Project Presentation

CORPRATE AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ContinuedWe also have every intention of developing the property and the

mining with completeconsideration for the ecology, the local economy, and the welfare of the

residents whomight be affected by the operation. For this reason, we will spend all

the time and effortwhich is required to insure that every step we take ... keeps the above

parameters in theforefront of our minds.

The main seaport of Hiana is located 20 minutes away and accesses to export

governmental channels have been already established. We will be able to fill container

loads with ease and have them onsite and ready to ship the within the hour of being

sealed. The location of the operation and the near proximity of the Caribbean maritime

lines are highly suited to serve the export of our products. Thus we will be able to serve

both the rapidly expanding tourism and residential markets in the Dominican Republic, as

well as the rest of the world.

MARBLE VALUESAs illustrated in the geologist’s report, the property includes 36

hectares (360,000 squaremeters or 89 acres) with a pair of mountains of marble to an

elevation of 80 metersabove grade. Our geologist, who may be the most eminent in the

country, estimates thatit is likely to be 60% exploitable for mining. In his first preliminary

study, he evaluated asingle strip of deposits one meter thick over the entire area of

360,000 square meters.Without any processing of the material, his estimate of the value of

that single strip ofmarble to be $36 Million U.S. Dollars. If we then include the

material about that first onemeter strip, our simple math; 80 meters high times 60% exploitable

times the value forthe one meter strip at the base, equals $1.728 billion U.S. Dollars.

And this has not even considered the value of the marble below grade, which

according to the geologist it would be safe to say that the deposits will go as deep

as another 80 meters below grade. Also, our relations with the adjacent landowners

will also give us the option to buy all the adjacent property, which might double the

reserves.

Page 8: Mine Project Presentation

MINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The development of the quarry mine adjacent to the city where

mining operations are taking place, will followconsiderable planning including more intensive geological testing,

transportation studiesto move the marble with the least amount of disruption to the local

traffic, ecologicalstudies to preserve the natural habitat including water conservation

and control, and afavorable impact on the residents in the entire region.

The impact on the residents will involve the input of new wealth into the community

resulting in more jobs, entrepreneurial opportunities, new and improved schooling for

both English and entrepreneurial training, tourist development relating to the quarry

mining operations and the hillside avocado farming, as well as the building of new

homes, corporate offices, and hotels.We envision a good two years of development before we will be a

commercially viableoperation. But during that period, the region around the mining site

will be undergoing a positivetransformation.

Some of the specific items within the development plan will include a CPM scheduling.

Page 9: Mine Project Presentation

CPM SCHEDULINGAll of the development will be planned utilizing the latest concepts

involving CPM (Critical Path Management). This is the latest computer aided scheduling procedure used for

multimillion-dollar construction projects all over the world. It actively incorporates the

interrelationship between each activity such that a new activity may not begin until its

logical sequential activity is first completed. In addition to the interrelationships, each

activity has a time duration, responsibility control, and cost factors.As a result of this program, it is almost impossible to overlook a critical

activity in theschedule, and, because of the computer control, the entire schedule

may be instantlyupdated any time something in the schedule does not proceed as

planned.In accordance with the name of the scheduling method, it has the

ability to let theoperator know the single most “critical” item that needs to be looked at

any time during the project. In other words, it actually shows you a critical path through the whole schedule describing

which activities have the most importance toward the timely completion of the project ormulti-projects.

Page 10: Mine Project Presentation

CPM SCHEDULING ContinuedFast Track Schedule and

Cash Flow Analysis of the First Year of OperationOur Engineers have developed a CPM Program; The CPM schedule

shows the completeplanning for the first year’s operation of the mine including all

resources of equipment,personnel and costs. The Cash Flow is projected on a weekly basis

for the first year.Toward the end of the year, we will be realizing almost one million

dollars profit eachmonth.

The schedule lists each activity and how that activity in related to the preceding and

succeeding activities. It also shows the cost involved in equipment and personnel for

each activity. And the costs are time related based upon the scheduled duration of the

activity.

Page 11: Mine Project Presentation

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING STUDIES Following a more extensive geological study, which will tell us how

best to extract themarble from the property, we are then concerned with how to

develop the property bothecologically and esthetically to maintain a healthy and economically

attractive region. Theengineering studies will be related to water control and

conservation, in addition to dustcontrol, and the most efficient transportation routes as the project

begins and progresses.The architectural interests include designs of corporate and

operational offices for theMining Corporation. In addition, we are planning to design and build

homesfor the experienced, operational management, which will have to be

brought in fromoutside the area. As the project develops, we will also develop some

tourist facilitiesincluding a hotel or motel to attract groups interested in mining and

agricultural ventures.We also want a comfortable location for international professionals

and buyers of themarble to stay as our market develops.

DOING BUSINESS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLICThe Dominican Republic is a country that offers multi-fold

opportunities to attractbusinesses and foreign investments.

Geographically the country is located in a considerably very good strategic position which

offers an easy access to the markets of the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean

and Europe. Maritime lines leading from South America towards Europe run very close to

the country and thus giving easy access. Its economy grows every day and it also

supports the current process of modernization which is reinforced with an aggressive

effort to promote the liberation of commerce and economic integration, along with the

predominant atmosphere of a stable government and democratic consolidation, has

made the Dominican Republic an ideal option for companies and individuals of any

nationality that want to expand its investments growth.The current stage of stability of the Dominican economy is the result

of the experience ofthe period that started in 1987 and continues through today, where

the fiscal deficit, themonetary policy have a reality relationship to the current

macroeconomics, where there isno longer disappearing of capital and the distrust of the official

policy of the economy,where there is no longer a very strong inflation crisis, which caused

an economic,financial and social crisis.

Page 13: Mine Project Presentation

DOING BUSINESS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Continued

The United States and much of the European Union have a vested interests in the

economic well being of the Dominican Republic. Laws have been created and are being

enforced by domestic and international entities to protect and promote foreign

investments and thus creating safe heaven to conduct international business.

President Fernandez, a US educated attorney and the Dominican Congress have made a

pledge to keep all foreign business safe as if they were Dominican themselves. The US

Embassy keeps a Commercial Attache on the pulse of all US foreign nationals doing

business in the DR; as well as the American Chamber of Commerce who is in the

forefront of all economic development within the country.Former Presidents, Bill Clinton, George Bush Sr., currently have

vested interests in theDR. They both keep homes here as well.

Page 14: Mine Project Presentation

THE OPPORTUNITY As a result of the geologist’s report it has indicated that there is $36

Million US dollars ofmarble on a single one meter thick strip across the property; the

geologist has stated thehe has under estimated the current value of the mined marble by ten

fold multiple to keepthe numbers at a workable scale.

The owners had originally asked for a selling price of $5 Million US dollars; however

Mr. Rolón is confident the owners will accept an offer of $1.5 Million. This sale will

conclude the owners participation and will relinquish all rights under the law for the

aforementioned property and they have assured that there is no liens whatsoever against

the property; this is already assured through a government certificate already includedwithin the Business Plan.

AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT:Stage One: $3 Million US Dollars

Stage Two: $10 Million US Dollars (in Escrow), (Investor keeps control)

Page 15: Mine Project Presentation

THE OPPORTUNITY Continued

This two-stage investment opportunity is as follows:

First we are requiring that $3 Million US dollars be utilized to purchase the property and

establish a corporate entity. This amount will also be utilized as operational capital as

depicted in the operational chart in the Business Plan.Second, we are requiring that $10 Million US Dollars be kept in

Escrow at the control ofthe investor. This will consist of 0% risk to the total amount. This

will be utilized to createthe USD $100M needed as per our forecast.

Page 16: Mine Project Presentation

ROI WILL BE AS FOLLOWS:

First stage ROI:• First in line as funding becomes available

• The USD $3M: A 30% return on investment preferable within a 12-monthperiod but

not to exceed 24 months.• All commissions, returns and costs due to the approved

intermediary,for all services rendered, will be covered by us in a

separate signed agreement.

Second Stage ROI:To further explain the second stage funding, we are requesting the

USD $10M,to be kept in escrow and in control of the investors; this amount will

serve as anapparent operational base for financing purposes and will be

returned in itsentirety as soon as funding is secured. This period will last no longer

than 12months. As a return on this investment we are prepared to offer a

5% returnannually of all profits acquired by the Mining Corporation after all

costing and expenses are settled through its mining operations; thisparticipation will NOT encompass any rights of ownership.

Page 17: Mine Project Presentation

ROI WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: Continued Collateral:

The collateral is the property itself and the $1.7 billion dollars worth of marble therein.

In addition, all equipment bought for the mining operations, both new and used, will be

real collateral. As the mine is being developed, the value of the property will continually

increase.Currently the property has immediate profitability where slate shale

can be mined forimmediate sale, as there is a current market in the Dominican

Republic.
