<a href="http://www.publicwire.com" target="_new">(PublicWire.com News Release)</a>&nbsp;Forex International Trading Corp. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (<a target="_new" href="http://www.top10hotteststocks.com/stock/fxit">OTCBB:FXIT</a>), a company, through its affiliates, is principally engaged in offering a web-based foreign currency trading platform to non-US residents, professionals and retail clients, together with a third party today announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (&#8221;LOI&#8221;) to acquire up to 40.1% equity interest in Nexus Capital Ltd. (&#8221;Nexus&#8221;), a U.K. regulated investment advisory firm specializing in contracts for difference (&#8221;CFD&#8221;), foreign exchange, spread trading and share dealing. In addition, the LOI provides that Lanatech Limited (an unrelated third party) may acquire up to 9.9% equity interest in Nexus.</p>
<p>In recent years, CFDs have grown in global appeal to retail investors as an investment vehicle that allows for the small investor to put less capital at risk to participate in movements in larger blocks of securities. Similar to its strategy in the Forex market, the Company is seeking global exposure (non-US residents) to the CFD market, where retail investors overseas are increasingly finding this an attractive method to invest.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are continuing to build our company through acquisitions that fit our growth strategy. Nexus gives us the ability to expand our opportunities outside of the U.S. as we look to establish a presence in the CFD markets overseas,&#8221; stated Darren Dunckel, CEO of Forex International Trading Corp. &#8220;We believe this acquisition could generate a great deal of interest in our state-of-the-art retail trading platform as we give our international clients the ability to trade forex and contracts for difference. We anticipate the due diligence process and review process by the Financial Services Authority to take approximately 45 to 60 days.&#8221;</p>
<p>Max Asmelash, Director of Nexus Capital stated, &#8220;As a company authorized by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) throughout the European Union, Nexus is a licensed and regulated firm and we have been seeking to partner with an organization like Forex International Trading to expand our business. Through this transaction we will have available to us a powerful web-based trading platform solution that will allow us to cross market both our CFD offering and our forex offering to an international retail client base. We look forward to working together in building a global power house online trading firm.&#8221;</p>
<p>The letter of intent for the most part is non-binding on the parties. The acquisition is subject to certain requirements including due diligence, approval from the FSA, execution of a mutually-acceptable definitive purchase agreement and various other customary conditions. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the transaction will be consummated.</p>
<p>About Nexus Capital Ltd.</p>
<p>Established in 2008, Nexus Capital is a boutique specialist firm, engaged in offering retail investors the opportunity to open specialized accounts to trade contracts for difference product. Nexus, authorized by the Financial Services Authority in the U.K. in May 2009, is a licensed investment advisory firm specializing in contracts for difference (&#8221;CFD&#8221;), forex, spread trading and share dealing to clients both in England, and across the European Union (the EU). Nexus clears its CFD trading through IG Group.</p>

<a href="http://www.publicwire.com" target="_new">(PublicWire.com News Release)</a>&nbsp;Sierra Resource Group, Inc. has acquired a financing commitment, which the Company believes will enable it to begin the permitting process that is necessary prior to bringing the mine back into production. The Company is waiting for bids from a number of engineering firms. It expects to engage the winning bidder in the near future.</p>
<p> &#8220;We are pleased to have secured the financing needed for the permitting process,&#8221; said Patrick Champney, Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;This is an important step. We still must obtain sufficient funding to actually begin mine operations after acquiring the necessary permits.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sierra Resource Group, Inc. owns an 80% interest in the Chloride Copper Mine. The Chloride Copper Mine property consists of 37 unpatented lode mining claims and 12 mill site claims. It is located 24km northwest of Kingman, in the Wallapai District, Mohave County, Arizona. The open pit mine and the existing SX/EW processing plant operated at the site from 1995 before being idled in 1996 due to low copper prices. </p>
<p>The Chloride Copper Mine deposit is hosted by Late Tertiary conglomerates and, to a lesser extent, by Quaternary alluvium and Cretaceous granitic rocks. Copper mineralization at Chloride Copper Mine is in the form of mineralized lenses contained within a paleochannel approximately a few thousand feet long and up to 750 feet wide. The source of copper at Chloride Copper Mine is interpreted to be the low grade porphyry-type copper mineralization at Alum Wash, about 3.5 miles northeast of the Chloride Copper Mine deposit. The mineralization is characterized by dark blue to black rock similar to the Exotica deposit, a satellite of the huge Chuquicamata copper deposit in Chile. </p>
<p>About SIRG: SIERRA RESOURCE GROUP, INC. (OTC Bulletin Board:<a target="_new" href="http://www.top10hotteststocks.com/stock/sirg">SIRG.ob &#8211; News</a>) is U.S. based junior exploration and mining company committed to the exploration, discovery and development of copper, gold, silver, and other mineral resources.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--Start--><br />
<a href="http://www.publicwire.com" target="_new">(PublicWire.com News Release)</a>&nbsp;Elray Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: ELRA), a global exploration and production mining company with a portfolio of valuable properties, is pleased to report that numerous agencies and institutions expect that Ecuador&#8217;s Mining sector will be a major engine of growth in the coming years.</p>
<p>The current investment climate in Ecuador is extremely favorable, as compared to other Latin American countries. A dollarized economy, combined with a stable political culture and low wage levels, create many opportunities for foreign investors. Other investment advantages include an abundance of natural resources and the fastest growing economy in the region, with a non-oil GDP growth rate of 6% for 2010.</p>
<p>Some key facts include:</p>
<p>* Geological studies performed by the British, Swedish and Ecuadorian Geological Surveys through the late 1990s have suggested that Ecuador has tremendous potential for discovery of new economic ore deposits.</p>
<p>* There are new laws protecting the Ecuadorian Economy and Environment seen as progressive.</p>
<p>* Ecuador&#8217;s Minister of Production Nathalie Cely Suarez, in talks with Bloomberg, commented that the Country&#8217;s non-oil GDP expected to rise 6% in 2010.</p>
<p>* In January 2010, Agencia de Regulacion y Control Minero (&#8221;ARCM&#8221;) was established to be responsible for compliance of resource companies and their activities with Ecuador&#8217;s new mining law. A prerequisite of the new mining law is the confirmation of the mining company&#8217;s concession titles in Ecuador.</p>
<p>* All business in Ecuador is transacted in US currency, encouraging stability and inward investment.</p>
<p>* Oil and Mining are valued at 27% of the economy of Ecuador and the government recognizes their value and is working to develop more investment.</p>
<p>* There is a good labor pool available in Ecuador, which makes investing in Ecuador particularly attractive.</p>
<p>&#8220;We believe Ecuador has key elements required to see its mining sector explode,&#8221; commented Barry Lucas, Elray&#8217;s Executive Chairman. &#8220;These include excellent geological potential, stable economy and a business-oriented government.&#8221;</p>
<p>About Elray Resources, Inc.</p>
<p>Elray Resources, Inc. is a junior exploration and development Corporation which has successfully accumulated a portfolio of highly prospective, heavily mineralized mining tenements in South East Asia and South America. Elray Resources, Inc.&#8217;s, primary objectives are to source projects, conduct geological assessments and seek Joint Venture partners to develop the properties. </p>

<a href="http://www.publicwire.com" target="_new">(PublicWire.com News Release)</a> Alto Group Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB:ALTO) (&#8221;Alto Group&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announces management&#8217;s site visit to operating gold mining property in the Pinos Region, Zacatecas, Mexico.</p>
<p>The property, which has been targeted as possible acquisition, is located 8 kilometers northeast of the historic Pinos gold deposits where veins with reported bonanza grades of more than 180 grams per ton gold were mined historically on northwest striking veins making the Pinos district the largest gold producer in the State of Zacatecas during the Colonial Period. Historic records suggest the average mined grade was 98 grams per ton silver and 57 grams per ton gold. Management has traveled to this mining location after careful historical review and together with the property owners expressed willingness to contribute the project to Alto&#8217;s existing portfolio subject to final negotiation.</p>
<p>President and CEO Mark Daniel Klok has stated, &#8220;The field visit recently made was done to inspect the producing gold mine targeted for acquisition and to review the expansion plans which management has proposed on this project. These discussions have marked an important step toward the transition of the company to becoming a producer of gold in 2010. Additionally the field visit allowed our group to tour the company&#8217;s exploration properties Los Tres Machos and Zuna while reviewing the next phase of exploration work planned by our geological staff.&#8221;</p>

(SMNG.PK)Strategic Mining Moving From Pinksheets To OTCBB ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--Start--><br />
<a href="http://www.publicwire.com" target="_new">(PublicWire.com News Release)</a>Strategic Mining (Pink Sheets: SMNG) announced that it plans to file next week with the SEC Form 10Q for the first quarter and Form 10A, an amended version of the Form 10 that includes responses to the latest SEC questions.<br />
The company filed a Form 10 with the SEC on April 30 to initiate the process to move to the Bulletin Board. As of June 30, Strategic Mining is subject to all of the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The filing of the Form 10Q will immediately move the company to OTCBB status.</p>
<p>The Bulletin Board reaches a much wider audience both domestically and internationally. Strategic Mining is now a reporting company offering more transparency while investors and their brokers would have greater ease and less restrictions to monitor, buy and sell the company&#8217;s stock. Financial institutions would be more inclined to invest into the company.</p>
<p>President Todd Sterck commented: &#8220;The filings with the SEC will be another step in our company&#8217;s efforts to move to a higher exchange and establish itself as a recognized gold exploration company.&#8221;</p>
<p>Strategic Mining Corporation is engaged in the exploration and development of gold properties in Vietnam, the US (Nevada/Utah) and Africa. The company intends to expand by acquiring mineral rights to more key properties and initiating strategic joint ventures.</p>
