I have worked with Ken Chapple for many years and I know him to be capable of achieving exceptional goals in Albania".

Mr. Chapple, President of Golden Touch Resources stated: "I look forward to leading the Golden Touch executive team that not only has outstanding people, but also three exceptional mineral properties. We have just completed the first stage of drilling at the Rubik Gold Project and I am very impressed with what I see there. Whilst some of the drilling results have been released, further results are pending over the next two months. During the remainder of 2011, we are planning a geophysical survey designed to provide targets to guide a second phase of drilling at the Gold project and we are also planning a first stage drilling program on the Company's Platinum project. Our third project, the Kukes Chromite Project, which like the first two, is controlled 100%, by Golden Touch Resources."
