Gemini Explorations, Inc. in Negotiations With Bogota Based Ore Processing Refinery

Market Wire, March, 2009

Gemini Explorations, Inc. ("Gemini") (OTCBB: GXPI) is pleased to announce that it is in negotiations with an ore processor based in Bogota, Colombia. This processor owns and operates a refinery with a proven record of efficiently capturing gold, silver and lead from ores similar to those that are present in Gemini's La Tapata Gold Mine. In a news release dated August 20, 2008 Gemini disclosed that ore samples from the La Tapata concentrated zones of mineralization yielded concentrations of 9.38 g/tonne of Au (gold) and an impressive 958.8 g/tonne Ag (silver) when subjected to a high yield processing technique with a recovery capability similar to that available in Bogota.

As also announced, earlier sampling from the principal vein at La Tapata showed vein rock gold concentrations as high as 243 g/tonne, with an average from two separate sampling efforts of 41.94 g/tonne Au (gold).

Discussions with the refinery owners have covered a number of topics including the logistics involved in shipping the ore from the La Tapata project to the refinery in Bogota. Gemini initial estimates have indicated that this off-site approach to processing is economically viable and would provide immediate cash flow as it moves forward to expand and develop La Tapata. Plans have been formulated to ship bulk samples of ore from La Tapata to the refinery to confirm that the economic benefits of this arrangement meet or exceed Gemini's estimates.

"We are excited about the possibilities presented by a relationship with this refiner," noted Michael Hill, CEO of Gemini. "The use of their facility would allow an almost immediate initiation of mining operations at La Tapata, the cash flow from which would expedite the expansion of our efforts to fully develop that property. We also continue to be optimistic regarding the achievement of a joint venture arrangement for La Tapata which would further accelerate our progress to the benefit of the company and our shareholders."

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt.

Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
