Hi All, Seems our new JV partner is active in DRC right now Regards John Global Explorations Corporation 6/14/99 - Corporate Update Quick Quote: V.GXC 0.850 (EVEN) > Go to GXC on BullBoards > Lookup GXC info on StockHouse.com Snapshots All NYSE and AMEX data delayed 20 minutes All other exchanges delayed 15 minutes GLOBAL EXPLORATIONS CORPORATION ("GXC-V;GBEXF-L") - Corporate Update GLOBAL EXPLORATIONS CORPORATION wishes to announces pursuant to a news release dated June 7, 1999, Global has received relevant information concerning its joint venture operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (the "Congo"). Global's partner has confirmed that alluvial mining activity continues in the areas defined by the Wendi Nord and Dikengi concessions despite the ongoing conflict in other regions of the Congo. Furthermore, several warring factions are scheduled to meet on June 25th with the objective of securing a cease-fire across the country. Global's Congo representative is currently in the process of determining the routing of approximately 1,000 carats of gemstone quality rough, uncut diamonds. The bigger stones will be brought to a L.A.-based diamond factory for distribution later this month and a certain quantity of rough diamonds are expected to be sent to India for processing. Global expects to provide its shareholders with a detailed financial update of this transaction on or about July 7, 1999. Global anticipates instituting a geological study relating to the Congo concessions in forthcoming weeks. At present, only preliminary reports prepared by Congo-based geologists are available to Global and, though the potential for alluvial diamond mining remains undisputed, is unable to make any credible assessment of the reserves within the concessions. At this juncture, Global can also confirm that its joint venture in the Republic of Sierra Leone ("Sierra Leone") has been registered and that the licenses necessary to participate in alluvial diamond mining and to trade in rough, uncut diamonds have been obtained. Global awaits a lasting peace in Sierra Leone before making any medium term or longer-term commitments on the four diamond concessions in which Global has a 95 % interest. The subject concessions are under a force majeure agreement with the Government of Sierra Leone. In the meanwhile, extended peace talks aimed at resolving the civil war in Sierra Leone continue in Lome, Togo; a cease-fire, agreed upon three weeks ago, is reported to be holding. This press release contains certain forward-looking statements. Given the inherent risks and uncertainties in such statements, the Company makes no representations implying that such statements will ultimately be proven true.

It also looks like the peace process is still on track Chiluba confident Regards John June 15, 1999 Mildred Mulenga, PANA Correspondent LUSAKA, Zambia (PANA) - Zambian president Frederick Chiluba, mediating in the DR Congo conflict, Tuesday insisted that any modalities to be agreed on the DRC ceasefire would be done in Lusaka and nowhere else. Chiluba said this when local journalists asked him to comment on media reports that South Africa had brokered its own peace deal for the DRC and that Pretoria had already earmarked its troops to be part of the international peace-keeping force expected to supervise the peace process in a post-war Congo. ''Everthing (on the Congolese peace process) will depend on the decision the meeting of foreign and defence ministers will make. ''The final deal or comprehesive ceasefire agreement will be done in Lusaka and nowhere else,'' Chiluba was quoted as telling reporters before he left for South Africa. The ministers meeting is expected to be followed by a regional summit on 26 June. The Zambian leader is among 30 African leaders invited to Pretoria to witness the inauguration Wednesday of Thabo Mbeki as that country's new President. Chiluba, chief SADC mediator in the DRC crisis, also confirmed Tuesday that rebels fighting the Kinshasa government would directly participate in the Lusaka ministers and summit talks. He was confident that this time around an agreement would be reached for the signing of a ceasefire in the 10-month old civil war. He said a delegation to finalise the details and also narrow down on some differences is currently in Kinshasa, after having visited Uganda and Rwanda. Chiluba's own peace plan, which he says was not in confict with other complimentary efforts, envisages an African peace-keeping force to maintain peace in the DRC after the expected withdrawal of foreign troops backing both government and rebel forces. Libyan leader Muammar Kadhafi, who has himself floated a similar peace accord, has told Chiluba that he was behind the Zambian's leadership of the DRC's diplomatic efforts. Kadhafi accused unnamed foreign forces of conspiring to frustrate African-led peace initiatives and helping to brew chaos on the continent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
