TNRI News:
November 7 - The Silver Lining
Titan Resources International Inc. (OTC: TNRI) (Frankfurt: 36T1.F) recently updated shareholders on its plans for the Silver Centre Property:
To understand what we are attempting to do with the Silver Centre Property, you have to try to understand some of the fundamentals that drive the demand and supply relationships within the silver markets.
While we cannot address all of the mitigating circumstances and influences that affect the silver market, we can attempt to better educate and inform our existing shareholders, possibly attracting new ones. We have put together a brief overview of some of the main factors to consider when looking at the possibility of investing in silver, and the silver mining industry.
Take into account that overall global demand for silver continues to outpace supply.
The top uses for silver worldwide continue to be Industrial applications and fabrications, jewelry and photography, respectively.
Most of the world's silver production comes as the result of secondary recovery (silver is recovered secondarily, as the result of mining for other primary minerals, usually gold).
Peru is the largest producer of silver in the world, followed closely by Mexico and China. Canada ranks in the top 10 for global silver production.
Most of the world's silver is found in low grade, easily accessible ore. There are relatively few "High Grade" silver deposits, and even fewer silver mines that mine for silver as their primary metal.
And then there is the relationship that exists between silver and gold, and currency fluctuations.
"The question is simple yet potentially vexing to silver investors. Gold has now closed above $800 for the first time since January 17th, 1980. One may naturally ask what the price of silver was at that time and the answer would be $40. When investors demand silver as a dollar hedge, you can't just press a key on your computer and a 1000 oz bar of silver appears out of the ether. No it first has to be discovered, dug out deep from the ground, refined to 99.9% purity and then poured into investment grade bars which are shipped to warehouses. This is obviously not a trivial matter and hence firmly puts a supply bottleneck on silver availability. The result is a faster rising price of silver."
Dennis Wheeler, chief executive of Coeur d'Alene Mines, picked up on an expression much-used in the month and averred that silver and gold prices were heading into a perfect storm, by which he meant something good for silver. "Growing demand is running headlong into dwindling supply, at a time when the dollar is weakening and inflationary worries persist. Some production is coming off line, and the move by Grupo Mexico to close its Taxco silver and lead operation, after failure to resolve a lengthy industrial dispute, will see almost 1 million ounces annually removed from the market."
Jeff Hunter, Titan CEO, said, "We don't sell MP3 players, with a great marketing campaign every year. We're going to build mines; I think that is one of the things investors are starting to appreciate. Based on the historic prolific past production of the SCR property (more than 19 million ounces of silver, over 3 million pounds of cobalt), and the current plan being implemented on the property, we continue to be very optimistic about the possibility of discovering, and ultimately proving up, a significant new ore body. The recent appreciation in the price of silver only serves to cement our resolve in what we are doing."

School Safety System Provides Priority Response Platform to School Administrators Searching for Better Ways to Help Protect Students
Viyya Technologies Inc. (OTC: VYON), developer and marketer of information management systems, previously announced the formation of a joint venture company Virtual Ed Link Inc., (VELI, a Nevada corporation), with The Atlantic Companies. VELI's mission is to provide school officials with a comprehensive school safety and management solution for communications before, during and after a school or campus emergency, and the improved management of daily events.
Viyya's Board of Directors is pleased to announce the execution of a definitive share exchange agreement between VELI and Virtual Ed Link Inc. (a publicly traded Texas corporation). Under the terms of the definitive agreement, VELI will assume approximately 98% control interest of OPUC. The terms and conditions are subject to customary state and federal filings and submissions. The new Board of Directors will consist of John Bay (CEO of Viyya Technologies), Timothy Brock (President of The Atlantic Companies), Joseph Forese (COO of Viyya Technologies) and Dr. Allen McCartney (Director of Marketing of VELI).
The Board of Directors of Viyya Technologies Inc. is also pleased to announce that it intends to distribute as a dividend approximately 50% of its interest in the new public company (OPUC) to its shareholders of record. Additional details and specifics are expected to be forthcoming.
Virtual Ed Link Inc.(TM) responds to the growing need from school campuses (K-12 and higher education institutions) to collect, access, share and disseminate vital information within school districts. VELI's School Safety and Management System (SSMS) is a web-based, hosted system that will provide a vital link between students, parents, staff, faculty and administration.

Applications installed within the system provide for mapping, simulations, evacuation routes, reporting, event management, monitoring via IP addressable cameras, and eLearning for students, parents, faculty, teachers and staff.
"With over 100 successful school-based implementations under our belt and years of experience, extending our service offering to school safety solutions is a natural addition," said The Atlantic Companies President, Tim Brock. "We believe the capabilities of the SSMS will provide greatly needed enhancements to educational facilities that are timely, appropriate, easy to implement and affordable. Now more than ever we can provide school district leaders with these important tools. We recently implemented a system in the Mechanicville, New York School District to great enthusiasm. I'm proud to be a part of this venture."
Viyya Technologies developed and introduced its powerful software suite in the aftermath of the recent campus tragedies that stunned the nation and focused attention on the need for better emergency alerting and communication within school districts. Viyya's core technology is capable of gathering and disseminating vital instruction in preparation for action in the event of tragedy, and provides urgent alerts, when necessary, to students, parents, faculty and staff if threats to safety occur. SSMS is the most comprehensive application available for planning, teaching, and distributing emergency direction and notifications. It also provides general notifications during normal daily activities such as canceling athletic practices or school closures.
"Everyone concerned with school safety is focused on the urgency of implementing a system in the near future," explained John Bay, Viyya Technologies CEO. "The SSMS will provide unparalleled product functionality such as information collaboration, alerts and notifications, student violence reporting, crime prevention, campus evacuation routing, document compliance and vaulting, and much, much more. We are very excited to grow this company as a standalone publicly traded company. Our combined management and technical expertise will insure a viable and growth oriented leader in the industry."
UREX ENERGY CORP (OTCBB: URXE)
"Up 33.33% on Thursday"
Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/URXE.php
Urex is focused on actively exploring and developing uranium properties in Argentina and New Mexico. Urex owns a 99.8% interest in the Rio Chubut property comprised of 170,000 hectares of land, which is adjacent to the Cerro Solo uranium deposit located in Chubut Province within Patagonia of southern Argentina. The Cerro Solo exploration block is approximately 20 km x 50 km, and borders the Cerro Solo uranium deposit to both the North and the South. Urex also owns a 100% interest in the La Jara Mesa Extension uranium property consisting of 137 unpatented mining claims in the Grants Mining District, Cibola County, New Mexico. The La Jara Mesa Extension property lies adjacent to Laramide Resources Ltd.’s La Jara Mesa and Melrich uranium deposits. Between 1950 and 1978 the Grants Mining District produced 270 million pounds of uranium oxide, which ranks it as the most prolific uranium district in the United States.
URXE News:
November 8 - Urex Energy Corporation Starts Exploration in Argentina
Urex Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Urex”) (OTCBB: URXE) reports that it has obtained exploration permits from mining officials in Argentina and has started its uranium exploratory program. The program is intended to include airborne geophysics, ground geologic mapping and prospecting, and drilling.
The Company is in the process of securing a drill rig to implement a proposed Cerro Solo Extension drilling program designed to drill test for extensions of known uranium mineralization adjacent to and on trend with the Cerro Solo uranium deposit. Environmental permitting is complete with final land access agreements nearly complete. Drilling is expected to start in January 2008, but the final start date will depend on drill rig availability.
The Company has contracted with New-Sense Geophysics Ltd. of Thornhill, Ontario, Canada, to complete a fixed wing aeromagnetic/radiometric survey over its Argentine properties. The survey will start in early November 2007 and is expected to be completed within about four weeks. The geophysical survey is designed to identify fault structures and surface uranium anomalies across the Company’s 170,000-hectare land position. The last airborne geophysical survey flown in the region was completed in 1978 before the use of GPS (Global Positioning Systems) and therefore lacked precise geographic control. The Company’s geologists believe that the current state-of-the-art airborne system will provide new understanding of uranium occurrences within the Chubut Basin and will accelerant target definition.
A comprehensive field program is planned to follow the airborne survey and is designed to characterize uranium anomalies in preparation for drill testing. Urex is fielding a young, energetic team of geologic professionals who will conduct the field program guided by South American Manager Oscar Yokoi and Brian Cole, Urex’s Professional Geologist.
Management believes in the technical viability of the project and robustness of Argentina for new uranium discoveries. The Cerro Solo project area represents a small fraction of the total property holdings controlled by Urex in Argentina.
In New Mexico, the Company’s La Mesa Extension Uranium Project is awaiting approval of an exploration permit that will allow the commencement of Phase I drilling. Meetings with the relevant agencies have identified issues raised by interested third parties. The Company is confident that it will be successful in obtaining permission to start its exploration program. Currently, USFS (United States Forest Service) is conducting consultation with local Indian Tribes with the expectation to complete that process by March 2008.

November 8 - First Mobetron in Germany, 24th Worldwide: Renowned CDT Breast Cancer Center in Cologne Selects IntraOp Medical's Mobetron Device for Advanced Intraoperative Electron Radiation Therapy
IntraOp Medical Corporation (OTCBB: IOPM), a provider of innovative technology solutions for the treatment and eradication of cancer, announced that the CDT Strahleninstitut Koln, a renowned breast cancer center in Cologne, Germany has selected Mobetron for advanced breast cancer treatment. Mobetron directly delivers intraoperative electron radiation therapy (“IOERT”) to patients as they undergo surgery in a highly safe and efficient manner. This order comes on the heels of a significant patent defense in Germany; the judgment was ruled in IntraOp’s favor.
The CDT Strahleninstitut Koln is a leading breast cancer treatment facility in Cologne, Germany. The center uses a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, integrating surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy treatments, as appropriate. Leveraging the most advanced medical treatment available, CDT Strahleninstitut Koln has been using radiotherapy for more than 80 years and was the first facility in Germany to perform lumpectomies; it will now be the first private institution in the country to provide IOERT in the operating room.
With Mobetron, radiation and surgical oncologists can pinpoint the exact area that requires radiation and immediately deliver high doses directly to the affected tissue during cancer surgery. Key patient benefits of this early and powerful start to radiation therapy include: better local tumor control, shorter treatment cycles and fewer side effects. Studies show that increasing local control in breast cancer will also lead to improvement in survival.
Dr. Hajo Jennissen, principal, CDT Strahleninstitut Koln, said, “For most women, a diagnosis of breast cancer is devastating — both emotionally and physically. In Germany this year, 46,000 women will be diagnosed with the disease; 19,000 of whom will most likely die. Breast cancer demands the most advanced medical treatment available, so we are very pleased be able to now offer IntraOp’s Mobetron device — along with new hope — to breast cancer patients in our country.”
John Powers, CEO of IntraOp Medical said, “It is exciting to see the growth and acceptance of Mobetron in new countries, knowing the positive impact it will have on cancer patients, not only in Germany, but in neighboring European countries. We are looking forward to working closely with the CDT in Cologne to provide the most advanced medical technology available to effectively and efficiently treat breast cancer.”
