To all.... Did anyone else get this? Is this supposed to make me feel warm and fuzzy. I know, lets get into more properties instead of promoting the ones we already have. Comments?

RUSSIAN OPPORTUNITY
All Shareholders are no doubt aware of our current exploration activities on our various properties located in the Northwest Territories, Ontario, Cuba and Indonesia. Notwithstanding the recent events affecting junior mining exploration companies, Mill City remains confident that market forces will stabilize and proper value will be attributed to our various property interests.
Dating back to late 1994, Mill City was introduced to certain opportunities by an individual acquainted with your Chairman. This same individual has now brought to us exciting opportunities in Russia and specifically certain diamond properties located in the Arkhangelsk Region situated in north-west Russia (including the Lomonosov deposit referred to below). This Region displays geological features similar to those in other parts of the globe where diamonds have been discovered, the most famous of local discoveries being the Lomonosov deposit, some 90 - 100 km north of Arkhangelsk where total reserves are estimated in the range of 120 million carats, over 60% of which are believed to be of gem quality.
As a result of increasing world-wide interest in diamond exploration and the ever expanding desire and intention of the Russian authorities to increase the exploration and development of its vast resources, Mill City has been invited to travel to Russia for the purpose of reviewing certain opportunities on behalf of Mill City and two of its associated companies, Global Discovery Corp. and Global Strike Resources Inc. It is the intention of your Chairman and President to travel to Russia during mid-April to meet with various government and private sector officials for the purpose of securing exploration activities on behalf of Mill City and its associated companies. In addition to your Chairman and President, certain individuals will be traveling to Russia, including Mr. Bill Jarvis, our geological consultant. Mr. Jarvis is a renowned geological consultant, having consulted to numerous companies and currently a director of TNK Resources Inc. and directing TNK's diamond exploration program in Botswana.
We are looking forward to an interesting trip and remain optimistic that some exciting and rewarding opportunities may be secured.
Respectfully Submitted on Behalf of the Board of Directors
