Summary
Moly Mines is searching for a new mining project to supplement the Spinifex Ridge Iron Ore Mine and to replace the Spinifex Ridge Molybdenum / Copper Project (Moly Project). The decision to defer the Moly Project was made in December 2011.
With approximately $72 million of net current assets on balance sheet at quarter end, which will be enhanced by the forecast production and cashflow performance from the Spinifex Ridge Iron Ore Mine, Moly Mines considers it has the financial standing to grow its asset base in a challenging equity markets environment.
Moly Mines hopes to identify and acquire mining projects including those that can be financed through the Chinese commercial banking process, drawing upon the relationship with the Hanlong Group and the Strategic Alliance between Moly Mines and China Development Bank (CDB). Hanlong have agreed to assist Moly Mines arrange new debt facilities and provide credit support to enhance the finance packages and minimize funding costs.
Moly Mines is currently assessing a number of significant opportunities in a variety of commodities and geographical locations.

LONDON, ONTARIO– April 26, 2012 - Trueclaim Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TRM)(OTCQX:TRMNF) (“Trueclaim”) has been actively exploring the Richmond Basin Silver Claims over the last several months. In March Trueclaim started a ground magnetometer survey. Zonge Engineering of Tucson, Arizona has been contracted to coordinate, layout the survey and interpret magnetometer results. The initial focus of this survey was the known strike extent and investigating of the Barr Vein and the Black Copper Zone (Iron Nugget), which is presently in the final stages of drill permitting. To date, approximately 20km of survey has been completed on the Barr Vein, the Black Copper Zone and areas surrounding them. In the core of the Richmond Basin where the McMorris, Helena Mine and the Jumbo Vein are located, 10 kilometers of grid line have been cut and are planned to be surveyed. A summary report on both the Barr Vein and Black Copper Zone project areas is currently being prepared by Zonge Engineering. A preliminary review of the data suggests that the anomaly extends beyond our initial estimate of 400m extending the magnetic copper-silver-gold anomaly over 200m for a total minimum of 600m (1950ft). This area contains samples up to 9.39% copper, 3040g/t (88.6 oz/t) silver and 2.87g/t (0.084oz/t) gold.
