Attending shareholders also approved all actions by the Board in behalf of company business since the installation of the present Board on April 12, 2006.

Richard Cahoon, President of Cerro Dorado reported on recent developments of the company, then introduced Mr. Juan Jose Quijano, whose report to the shareholders had been anxiously anticipated. Mr. Quijano has been closely affiliated with Cerro, and has been representing Cerro Dorado and Medinah Minerals, Inc. in negotiating certain agreements relative to their properties in Chile.

Mr. Quijano reported on an official signed offer from Hochschild Chile Mining Company.

The CEO of Sumitomo MMC Chile has recommended the primary exploration of Cerro’s holdings to the Sumitomo Board of Directors in Tokyo. Sumitomo’s Board approved the company’s claims as their primary mining objective in Chile.

Mr. Quijano is scheduled to meet with Sumitomo officials on September 29 to facilitate Sumitomo’s final evaluation. He reported to attendees that Sumitomo had investigated 50 properties throughout Chile, and had chosen only this one project. Mr. Quijano also stated that he expected to receive an alternate offer from Sumitomo shortly after their final evaluation.

Further details relative to negotiations with Hochschild and Sumitomo companies will be released as they occur.
