To All: Late in the afternoon of October 28th, the drill rig arrived on site. The set-up process will begin tomorrow (October 29th). Drilling should begin next week. Sampling of both the brines and the solids will occur at 5 foot intervals. There will be 40 elements that will be tested for, by the commercial lab. Other testing, particularly for Lithium, will take place at the lab(s) of the interested mining company. This company will lend technical advice during the drill and test program. Naxos has the ability to test for Lithium and precious metals at Franklin Lake. The testing for all of these 40 elements is part of the business plan to systematically examine what has monetary potential in the material at Franklin Lake. Among some of the elements to be tested will be: Lithium, Boron, Magnesium, Strontium, Cobalt, Copper, Tungsten, Vanadium, rare earths, and precious metals. There has not been such a systematic and comprehensive exploratory drilling done to date at Franklin Lake. The object of this drill and analysis program is to identify areas of economic advantage for the shareholders of the company. At this point in time, the company's thrust has been expanded to examine other elements for monetary advantage because of the inclusion of qualified and experienced mining personnel within the company. These men have emphasized the advantages of exploring other potentials that may exist at Franklin Lake in addition to the potential of precious metals. The company remains committed to exploring for precious metals AND industrial and base metals. Regards, Kim W. Brasington
