These AZHA MiningDividends are NOT a Forward Split nor are they a REVERSE Split. The ratiois that for every 50 ZNXT Common, a total of 75 AZHA Common shares are tobe issued to the ZNXT beneficial common shareholders of record as of April20, 2009. The shareholders need to be reassured that torestructure this governance of the mining operation plans with AZHA’spreferred approach are applied. AZHA will do whatever it can to bringthis mining company into production and profitability. AZHA is hopefulthat the company’s ultimate goal would be just at hand.Mining can be a wonderful and profitable business when it’s on the upside,particularly when the business plan is properly structured.
To start with,AZHA discusses a brief overview and understanding of gold miningandproduction.–HOW GOLD IS PRODUCED?Gold mining is an intensive process thatrequires careful and responsible management The process ofproducing gold (from both underground and surface operations) can bedivided into six main phases: (1) finding the ore body; (2) creatingaccess to the ore body;(3) removing the ore by mining or breaking theore body; (4) transporting the broken material from the mining face tothe processing plant for treatment; (5) gold processing; and (6)refining to 99.999%. For further details, please visit SCALE MINING — PANNINGWide shallow pans are filled with sandand gravel that may contain the rock and other material (because goldis denser than rock, it quickly settles to the bottom). The silt isusually taken from a stream bed, often at the bend of the stream, orfrom the bedrock, where the weight of gold causes it to settle out ofthe water flow.–LARGE SCALE MINING: Finding the ore body — global or regional,geological exploration programme identifies targets and undertakesexploration.(1)OPEN PIT MINING: In open-pit mining, drilling and blasting is generally needed to release the gold bearing rock. Excavators then load the material onto the ore transport system.(2)UNDERGROUND MINING:In underground mining, holes are drilled in the ore body, filled with explosive and blasted. The blasted ’stopes’ or ‘faces’ are cleaned before the ore is released, ready for transportation out of the mine. Underground mining methods are far more variable than open pit mining.
The approach used must be the most cost effective one that fits in with the configuration of the ore zones, the strength of the ore, and the surrounding rock.–GOLD PROCESSING: The most common means of recovering gold is thecyanidation process. Cyanidation involves the leaching of ore in astrictly controlled alkaline cyanide leach solution, after which thegold is then re-dissolved, and subsequently smelted into dore bars thatare shipped to the gold refineries. The residual waste rock is thengenerally recycled in land-fill landscaping projects, processing andrefining. The dore U bars are further refined to become as close topure gold OF 99.99% as possible, in the form of gold bullion bars.They are then given ‘gold’ delivery status, the international standardfor quality, providing assurance that they contain the quantity andpurity of gold that has been stamped on them.COMMON Q & AWHAT IS THE AVERAGE COST OF MINING PER OUNCE?The average cost of replacing and producing an ounce of gold rose to$428/oz in 2005, a ten-year high, according to Metals Economics Group,based on a study of 18 major gold producing companies. However, costs varywidely between companies and the mines themselves.HOW MUCH GOLD IS STILL UNDERGROUND?The major gold producers increased their reported reserves to 719.7million oz or over 22,000 tonnes at the end of 2005, according to MetalsEconomics Group. Assuming a 10% recovery loss when the ore is extracted,this would amount to 14 years of gold production at 2005’s level. Inpractice the amount of known resources remains fairly constant over timesince the results of few exploration finds replacement to those resourcesthat are exploited.WHAT IS THE AVERAGE GOLD MINING GRADE?The grade of ore refers to the proportion of gold contained in the ore ofa particular mine and is quoted in grams per tonne (g/t) The type of minedepends on the depth and grade of the ore.
At a rough estimate, thelarger, better quality South African underground operations are around8-10 g/t (Anglo gold), while the marginal South African underground minesrun at around 4-6 g/L Many of the operations elsewhere in the world areopen pit mines roughly at lower grades, from as little as 1 g/t up toaround 3-4 g/t. A more significant piece of information than average goldmining grade is cost per ounce, which is a combination of grade(grams/tonne) and operating costs ((USD/tonne).WHERE IS THE GOLD MINED?Gold is mined on every Continent, barring Antarctica.HOW MUCH GOLD HAS BEEN MINED? The best estimates available suggest thatthe total, volume of gold ever mined up to the end of 2006 wasapproximately 158,000 tonnes, of which around 65% has been mined since1950.ABOUT THE COMPANYAZHA Mining Corporation, Inc. is a mining company engaged in theexploration, development and commercialization of new and underdevelopedmine sites, primarily gold, silver and other precious metals.

It was a night of like father, like son. A counter-culture newspaper, L’Elephant Rose was forced into bankruptcy recently after being prosecuted under the same law. No action was taken, however, against others like the pop singer Johnny Hallyday and the Justice Minister Elisabeth Guignou, who have also spoken frankly about drugs.Mr Jospin said he favoured the decriminalisation of cannabis during the election campaign last May. His government has stepped back from that position but measures are expected soon to allow experimental use of cannabis in hospitals..
Public admission to drugs-taking can be prosecuted in France as an incitement to use by others.The president of Act-Up, a group campaigning for the legalisation of soft drugs, appeared in court this week for distributing a tract called “I like ecstasy”. The petitioners state: “At one moment or other of my life, I have consumed stupefying drugs. I know that in admitting publicly that I am a drug user, I can be prosecuted. This is a risk I am ready to take.”The motive is to draw attention to the hypocrisies and inconsistencies of government policy and the application of the French anti-drugs law. The clubs claim that they serve as the “primary care-giver” under Proposition 215, giving them the right to supply and sell marijuana. But the California Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed that argument after a series of appeals.”The courts have essentially said that cannabis clubs are not allowed,” said a spokesman for Mr Lundgren.It remains to be seen how rapidly his office will move against the clubs, but there was little doubt that Mr Peron’s operation is the first on the list of closures.Mr Peron, a larger-than-life California personality, and a gay Vietnam veteran who co-authored Proposition 215, insists all marijuana is “medical”.His inflammatory statements have not endeared him to clubs in other cities, where patients are more carefully screened and which operate quietly, sometimes with the co-operation of local police..
“We’re going to stay here until the tanks come,” he said.Mr Peron’s club is the most visible operation, where pot is freely sold in what critics say is a party atmosphere thick with marijuana smoke. The club was raided and shut down once under orders from Attorney General Dan Lundgren, a conservative Republican now in the thick of his campaign for the California governorship.In November 1996, a solid majority of California voters passed Proposition 215, allowing seriously ill people or their “primary care-giver” to grow and use marijuana on a doctor’s recommendation.Activists in six other states and Washington DC are pushing to put similar bills on the ballot this year, but President Clinton’s administration has led efforts to contain the fall-out and prevent medical marijuana use becoming a national phenomenon.In a hearing next month, US prosecutors will separately seek injunctions to close at least six clubs. But they have been the prime target for government officials determined to nip the legalisation of marijuana in the bud.Dennis Peron, operator of the Cannabis Cultivators Club in San Francisco, which is said to sell as much as 50lb of marijuana a week to 8,000 clients from a city centre office building, promised to defy any court order. The California Attorney General, armed with a sympathetic court ruling, was to seek an injunction to close up to 20 clubs, his spokesman said.
The clubs, which claim only to dispense marijuana to the sick, sprang up across the state after California voters legalised the personal medical use of marijuana. CALIFORNIA’S simmering marijuana wars moved closer to an open showdown yesterday, with the prospect of a court-ordered shutdown of the state’s marijuana clubs. Or afterwards, by unknown intermediaries.Or, as has happened before in this part of the country, the prize-winning ticket could have been bought by an organisation devoted to laundering the proceeds of drug-trafficking.The next step is to find out what happened by talking to the lottery’s organisers, Spain’s organisation for the blind, the ONCE, and the bank where the winning ticket was cashed, and to whom the money was handed. “It’s possible that the person gave a false identity, but there are ways of finding out who it really is,” Mr Quintans said.The eventual beneficiaries will be Villasante’s nephew Jaime, a former building worker who receives pounds 150 a month invalidity pension since falling from a ladder, and his wife Maria Antonia, who works as a cleaner in six houses for two pounds an hour.The couple have three daughters: the eldest is suing her estranged husband for payments towards the upbringing of their son; one daughter is still at school, and the third contributes to the family her wages as a factory hand in a fish-cannery..
His body was laid out by local undertakers who handed over the dead man’s effects – sans ticket – to his next of kin.The family’s lawyer, Manuel Quintans, reckons the ticket could have been cashed before news of Villasante’s death was made public – a week after the event. Efforts are now being focused upon tracking down the culprit who intercepted the ticket and cheated Villasante’s family of their lifelong dream.
The relatives scoured his house from top to bottom once they knew he held a winning ticket, and set the police on to the undertakers whom they accused of rifling the dead man’s clothing. Now they conclude that someone must have taken the ticket from Villasante’s pocket before he was buried.The old man, a bachelor of 76, collapsed in the street early on 26 January and was taken to the local hospital of the Galician fishing village of Pobra do Caraminal, where he died. THE LOTTERY ticket bought by a man in north-western Spain who died before he could claim his pounds 20,000 prize has been cashed, but no one knows by whom.
This bombshell has torpedoed efforts by relatives of Juan Villasante to exhume his body in the belief that he carried the ticket to his grave after his fatal heart attack on the day of the draw. If there is no obstacle I will come with it.”

“In the past, I’ve said that things happened to me, that I had made few decisions in the music business Now I want to change things around a bit. I want people to react to me.” So after three years in search of the right songs, and with voice entirely intact, comes Echo Bridge, his first album of new material for almost 15 years.”Once I get rolling on an album, I look for songs that appeal to me, songs that move me,” he says “I don’t ask why. And now, after feeling like a man out of time for much of the Eighties and Nineties, this is the long-awaited Blunstone re-launch. Where has Colin been?After the Zombies, he went to work in an office, as you do after making it to the top in the pop world – “hustly and bustly but very restful after the music business” – but was eventually lured back to the charts in 1969 with a re-recording of “She’s Not There”, this time as the short-lived Neil MacArthur Then there were the Seventies hits in his own name. This is the man whose high, tremulous voice registered those creamy solo hits “Say You Don’t Mind”, “I Don’t Believe in Miracles”, “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”.
Nobody sang like Colin Blunstone, a rhythm and blues choirboy from St Albans.
He relaxes his fit-looking, casually clothed 50-year-old body onto a bench seat He speaks as he sings: softly, gently He breathes words. Still nobody is there to answer the phone, so we introduce ourselves, shake hands, and I’m thinking: “This is him.”
This is the man who sang “She’s Not There”, the song that established the Zombies the same month in 1964 that “She Loves You” entered the charts. Colin Blunstone pushes the door open cautiously, as if entering a church It’s not a church, though It’s the office of his record company. The phone is warbling and nobody is there to greet him except me, and I’m thinking: “Is this him?” He nods at me, averting his eyes, and stands for a moment, awkwardly tall and thin, unconsciously flattening his longish hair. “See how I add the last bit,” he giggles, “so none of you feel insecure.”The hotel muzak persists in the background It’s “The Girl from Ipanema” McAlmont starts singing along There’s more to this man than his voice, but what a voice McAlmont will be lucky if he makes it big So will we.. Leaning over, he shouts: “Isn’t this better than being at some crappy TV show?”We’re back at the hotel once more and McAlmont is drunk as a skunk He’s showing off to all the straight guys “Does anyone want to try my cherry.. lip salve?” he asks. “It’s a place to hide.”It’s 10.30pm and we’re off to see Massive Attack, friends of McAlmont’s He grooves quietly to himself at the back of the hall.
“I’ve had a bad life, I deserve to be beautiful.”He says he is happier now than ever before But he knows the mouth of Pandora’s Box is wide open. “There’s nothing more hopeless on this planet than a pop musician – stardom is a sickness.” Why does he want it then? He giggles drunkenly. “As a child I got shut out so much by men.”School sounds hell. “The boys hate you and if the girls want to demonstrate they’re grown women they go for McAlmont.” (I blink at this use of the third person – he’s oblivious.) “Everyone would stand round watching McAlmont get beaten up by a girl.” His voice is wobbling. Was McAlmont too camp, or not camp enough? As Freud might have said: “What does the world want?”McAlmont is dwelling on rejection.
The producer walks off, muttering: “Liked the other one – it had more kick.”We’re back in the hotel – McAlmont is sure he’s been pulled because of complaints from Ulster’s religious groups. Kern thinks they were cut because “Be Mine” was too downbeat. The producer thinks McAlmont is going to perform “You Do” – with strings. It’s out of the question: McAlmont can’t do the number without Butler. The nice PR man persuades the producer to listen to “Be Mine” McAlmont tumbles straight into song: “Don’t leave I won’t let you.”McAlmont finishes Silence.
Some MPs said waverers had been warned they would never be made a minister and could even be deselected. Despite the concessions floated by Mr Darling, cabinet ministers insisted that Mr Blair would not abandon his push to modernise the welfare state. “There will always be a hard core of Labour MPs who will oppose any change; we will press on,” one said.However, the Labour rebels included Frank Field, the former welfare reform minister, who condemned Labour for adopting the “deeply corrupting” means tests brought in by the Tories, and Tom Clarke, Labour spokesman on the disabled before the election, who voted against the party for the first time in 16 years as an MP.Mr Darling said later the Government would look at “constructive amendments” by the Lords but insisted: “We are determined to press ahead with our programme of welfare reform. We are targeting resources on those people who need it most, such as the severely disabled.”Parliament, page 8. THE NEW Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion, who promised to make the post “more political”, did just that on his first day yesterday, blaming the Government for controversially leaking his appointment. “I think it must have been Downing Street,” he said, “though I can’t see what’s in it for them Truly, I didn’t leak it.
We had the announcement all set up for next week.”
Speaking from Sydney, where he is attending a festival, Mr Motion said: “I was worried that Downing Street might leak news of the appointment. When I was told I was Poet Laureate and asked not to say anything, I did say, `You can trust me, but can I trust you?’”Inquiries suggest that the original leak did come from Downing Street. Officials at Number 10 may have been over-enthusiastic to show that in choosing Mr Motion, Mr Blair was not wedded to the idea of a “people’s laureate”, an accusation of trendiness for its own sake that had angered the Prime Minister.Newspaper reports of the appointment seem to bear out the accusations of government involvement: nearly all were by lobby correspondents.Yesterday the shadow Culture minister, Peter Ainsworth, said: “The leak was deeply insulting to the royal palace. It could only have come from Number 10 or the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
I think it is despicable.”Despite the leak, Mr Motion appears to be looking forward to discharging his new duties. He added that he will write a poem to celebrate the wedding this summer of Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones.. NEW STRAINS emerged within Nato yesterday over the air war in Yugoslavia as the alliance said it would consider an Italian plan for a pause in the bombing. At the same time Nato was embarrassed again when an alliance jet blasted a hospital in Belgrade, killing four people The Swedish ambassador’s residence was also damaged. The blunder followed earlier accidental strikes on the Chinese embassy, a railway train and a refugee column in Kosovo.
Italy’s call for a pause in the air war would constitute a change of strategy. But the proposal by Massimo D’Alema, the Prime Minister, was welcomed by Javier Solana, Nato’s secretary-general, who said it was “not in contradiction with the position we have taken”.Mr D’Alema also attacked calls for ground troops to go in as “a totally useless exercise”. Some took this as a coded swipe at Tony Blair, Nato’s most hawkish proponent of a land campaign in Kosovo.Britain and the US are expected to oppose fiercely any plan for a pause in the air war, fearing Slobodan Milosevic will use the breathing space to regroup his troops in Kosovo.Until now the alliance has insisted that a halt to bombing can only take place after Serbia has withdrawn its police and troops from the mostly Albanian province.The Italian premier outlined his plan in Brussels.
The air bombardment would stop once the draft text of a UN resolution was agreed. During a visit to Nato headquarters he argued that a bombing pause could begin “at the moment we have an agreement” for the draft UN resolution with Russia and China.The Italian plan was expected to dominate discussions last night in London between Mr Solana and Mr Blair and the Secretary of State for Defence, George Robertson.While Italy and Germany are pushing hard for a halt to the Balkan war, Britain and the US moved yesterday to paper over reported differences in the approach to Belgrade. As the Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, travelled to Washington for a show of Anglo-American solidarity on the air war, President Bill Clinton insisted US resolve was not wavering. “We will continue our military campaign until the [five Nato] conditions are met. I believe the campaign is working,” he said.Mr Clinton said signs of dissent within Serbia are beginning to mount, and cited reports of desertions by hundreds of Serbian soldiers and protests in the central Serbian town of Krusevac.There were no further reports of anti-war protests in Serbia yesterday.
But in a disturbing sign that internal repression is deepening, the government of Montenegro – Serbia’s junior partner in the Yugoslav federation – said the army had sealed off the republic from the world, taking control of all border points and pouring in troops. The liberal government of Montenegro has long feared it will be overthrown by Mr Milosevic.. THE GOVERNMENT will try to reassure the public today that genetically modified food and crops are safe after a day of confusion over its own policy on the technology. Ministers will try to regain the initiative after The Independent’s report yesterday that the Chief Scientific Adviser had called for a four- year ban on the release of GM crops.
Their problems were compounded yesterday when the European Commission announced a freeze on licences for modified plants after research showing that GM pollen can kill Monarch butterflies.Jack Cunningham, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, is expected to announce a tougher regulatory framework when he presents the results of a review of GM policy. However, he will leave open the possibility of “limited” commercial release of crops well before the end of a four- year programme of farm trials.The Tories and the Liberal Democrats seized on comments by Sir Robert May, the Government’s most senior scientist, that ministers could not contemplate agreeing to the commercial release of some crops before 2003 at the earliest.

Maupin says “There’s no question that films have been a greater literary influence than books.” His idol, Alfred Hitchcock, maintained that art and entertainment are not mutually exclusive “That’s exactly what I’m going for. Vertigo is the single work of art that has influenced me greatly. The Night Listener is my best effort at approximating that, a story that revolves around human obsession and longing and loss.”There are certainly plenty of twists in The Night Listener.
Maupin’s narrator is Gabriel Noone, an author who broadcasts his successful “grabby little armchair yarns” on late-night radio. Noone befriends one of his listeners – 13-year-old Pete, who is dying of Aids. Sexually abused by his parents, who also prostituted him, Pete has been adopted by the saintly Donna. He has also written his memoir, which is soon to be published.Noone and the boy chat on the telephone, Gabriel listening to Pete’s problems and Pete to his.
But no one has ever set eyes on the boy and it begins to dawn on Gabriel that, maybe, the wise, perceptive Pete and the wise, perceptive Donna are the same person.Maupin has received his share of letters and calls from fans who feel they know him, and feel he should resolve something in their lives. At college he even had his own bizarre Hitchcockian experience. Someone calling himself Old Friendly would phone nightly to furnish Maupin with details about student activities with which he could astonish his peers. Maupin never discovered his identity, although one day when he was standing in a crowd he heard his voice. “I turned around slowly and it was this blind man with a cane.”Mystery can be seductive.
Noone can’t quite let his go, even if it means he’s manipulated. “Does it really matter if the person is real? Everything else has failed him and he needs to be needed.”The novel is flush with sadness, from the recollection of friends lost to Aids to the death of a pet dog For Maupin, it has been the toughest book. “There were many days when I had to command myself to write a page because I was digging into that part which hurt too much to examine.”Some of the conversations between Gabriel and his partner Jess are intensely intimate “They were very hard to write and are even harder to read I did try to be faithful to both our positions. When Terry read it, he I came with tears in his eyes, saying he thought it was the most beautiful book I’d ever written.” Although they no longer live together, “the bond is stronger than ever”.The Night Listener is dedicated to Anderson and to Maupin’s 85-year-old father.
