Latin Television, Inc. (OTCBB: LTVS) is building, and developing a following among young Hispanic adults in the US market by offering a variety of Spanish-language entertainment programs, movies, sports and news.

Through a combination of original programming and entertainment targeting a large untapped Hispanic audience, LTVS is delivering the highest quality content to this under-served market and is helping to change the perceptions of young Hispanic-Americans regarding Latin television and entertainment.

As LTVS grows, its programming will consist of entertainment, news, sports, culture, lifestyle and educational programming, including programs that teach English and cultural assimilation.

Its sports programming will include boxing, professional soccer and Mixed Martial Arts.

In contrast to other networks that rely on purchased or canned programming, LTVS intends to develop original content which will differentiate its network from the competition.

To expand and develop its sports programming, the Company has formed alliances with various sporting leagues and promoters through Baral, Inc. which includes Mexican Primera A Division Football (soccer) and Mexican wrestling.
The Company is currently negotiating an agreement with White Chocolate Entertainment to air and produce Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) events and lifestyle shows using well-known MMA stars and guest commentators.

LTVS has recently formed an alliance with Peter Thomas Entertainment Group to reinvigorate the legendary “How Can I Be Down?” (HCIBD?) Lifestyle conference. HCIBD? was initially formed in 1993; by 1996, this conference was attracting 10,000 participants and 100,000 visitors. The conference provides LTVS a strong entrée into the urban Latin market.

With a current broadcasting footprint reaching approximately 12 million Hispanics in the US, LTVS plans to continue to expand its affiliations with Low Power TV stations through additional LMAs in high density, top ten Hispanic markets, as well as to continue to create a cable television footprint throughout the United States and Mexico.

The Company plans to enter the Mexican broadcasting market in 2008 and the South American market in 2009.

November 5 - Successful APEX/SEMA Auto Show for SpongeTech Delivery Systems in Las Vegas

SpongeTech Had Numerous Domestic and International Retailers Showing a High Interest in Products

SpongeTech Delivery Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: SPNG) exhibited its SpongeTech Delivery Systems Car Wash & Wax products at the APEX/ SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show which was held in Las Vegas this past week. The APEX/SEMA Auto Show in Las Vegas is truly unique among car shows. For one, it's not open to the public. The APEX/ SEMA show is for members of the trade only, so unless you build, sell or are in some way associated with the aftermarket auto parts and accessories industry you can't go. That restriction doesn't limit the attendance, however, as the SEMA auto show floor is as crowded as any of the other big city auto shows.

SpongeTech Delivery System's CFO Steven Moskowitz commented, "We had a fantastic APEX/SEMA show this past week. This is one of the best automotive industry shows we have attended to date and the contacts we made at the show were excellent. We had automotive resellers and retailers from all over the world visit us at our booth." Mr. Moskowitz continued, "While we cannot divulge contact names, suffice to say, that we enjoyed very high traffic by numerous domestic and international big-box retailers, several well known automotive supply retailers, prospective automotive product distributors in a large number of international markets, and very well known and highly respected automotive product suppliers interested in private labeling SpongeTech Car Care products with their own trade brand. If we can close deals with just 5% of the contacts that visited us at the show we will significantly grow our business in 2008 beyond the orders currently on our books. The great thing about the APEX/SEMA show was that there were no 'Tire Kickers.' All of the attendees were industry related resellers, distributors, retailers and rep firms, so the vast majority of the leads we gathered were legitimate and prospective future SpongeTech customers."

November 8 - Global Resource Corp. Receives First-Stage Order for Arizona Tire Recycling Plant That Will Use its Fuel-Recovery Machinery

Major Project to Produce Gas, Oil, Steel and Carbon Black from Shredded Tires in the Company's Emission-Free Process

Global Resource Corp. (OTC: GBRC), a developer of a patent-pending microwave technology and machinery for extracting oil and gas, announced today that it has received a purchase order from ECO Energy to draft site specifications for a tire recycling plant, based in Mobile, AZ, that will use the company's revolutionary microwave machinery to recover fuel and other products from the tires.

Placentia, Ca.-based ECO Energy said the plant will convert 300 tons of tires per day into gas, oil, steel and carbon black. The company reported that the tires are being supplied under agreements from the States of California, Arizona and New Mexico. Furthermore, it already has agreements to purchase the fuel and other products, which are reusable, of commercial value and in demand by industry. ECO Energy is a joint venture of Placentia, CA- based Huntington Renewable Energy and Maricopa, AZ-based Envirotech Industries International.

Global Chairman Frank Pringle explained that the order is the initial phase of this project, which will be the company's largest project so far, incorporating two, or possibly three, of the company's Hawk-10 machines, which sell for about $5 million each.

"By recycling tires to produce marketable energy and other by-products, this plant will show the world that Global Resource's technology is both cost- effective and environmentally friendly. Not only will the plant rid these states of toxic old tires in an emissions-free process, but it will generate the fuel to run the plant and produce a profit as well from the sale of the fuel and other byproducts," said Pringle.

"Our technology," added Pringle, "has the capability of eventually making the United States energy independent."

Time Magazine this week named the company's microwave technology as one of the "Best Inventions of the Year." In its annual round up of "Best Inventions of the Year," Time selected 46 inventions in 12 categories, from Cars & Buses to Health. Global Resource's microwave technology is listed in the environment category.

Pringle also noted that in a report made in June that was released July 17, the U.S. Department of Energy profiled Global Resource and its microwave technology for oil shale recovery as a resource for making the U.S. energy independent. Being selected as one of only twenty-seven companies, some of them in the Fortune 100, further validates Global Resource's capabilities for energy recovery.

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.

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 6 - Anglo Swiss Resources Encounters Significant Sulphide Mineralization During Drilling at Its Kenville Mine Property, Nelson, BC

Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. (OTC BB: ASWRF; CDNX: ASW.V; Berlin: AMO.BE) is providing an initial progress report at the outset of its Phase 1 Diamond Drill Program at the Kenville Mine project. The current Phase 1 drill program, entailing approximately 1500 meters (4900 feet), is in its early stages with the first two drill holes (AK07-01 & AK07-02) completed on Line 2500 N.

Highlights of DDH AK07-01:

  • Hole AK07-01 (azimuth east, dip -45 degrees) contained significant sulphide mineralization throughout the upper portions of the drill hole, to approximately 215 meters (705 feet), with the drill hole terminating at 369.4 meters (1212 feet).
  • Porphyry style disseminated copper (mainly chalcopyrite) was encountered at the top of drill hole AK07-01 to approximately 25 meters (82 feet) depth in the hole.
  • A second larger zone of consistent disseminated chalcopyrite mineralization was encountered from 145 meters to 215 meters (70 meters) or from 476 feet to 689 feet (229 feet).
  • Mineralization in drill hole AK07-01 is generally hosted within siliceous dark foliated, magnetite enriched diorites, containing variable disseminated concentrations of pyrite, chalcopyrite with traces of bornite.
  • Mineralization encountered in drill hole AK07-01 occurs within a well-defined IP chargeability high as delineated by the 2007 summer geophysical surveys carried out over the western portion of the Kenville property.

Highlights of DDH AK07-02:

  • Hole AK07-02 was positioned at the same collar location as drill hole AK07-01. The initial dip of this hole was set at minus 70 degrees, drilled towards the west.
  • This drill hole was drilled to a final depth of 195.1 meters (640 feet), with the hole designed to test a zone of low chargeability and low resistivity, which was postulated as a possible mineralized alteration zone.
  • Sporadic zones of copper mineralization were encountered within foliated diorites from surface to 58.6 meters (192.25 feet) depth.
  • A separate zone of disseminated chalcopyrite occurred within silicified diorite over the interval 157.3 to 168.3 meters (36 feet).

This Phase 1 drill program is designed to test areas of variable IP chargeability, resistivity and geochemical anomalies throughout the surveyed grid area measuring 1100 meters (3608 feet) north/south and 700 meters (2926 feet) east/west, with depth measured to 400 meters (1312 feet).

Drill hole core samples have been sent to an accredited assay lab for both gold assay and multi-element ICP analysis. Results will be reported promptly upon receipt by Anglo Swiss Resources. The 2007 drill results will be combined with the existing geochemical data and previous drill results to assist the technical staff in selecting further drill locations for the Phase 2 drill program.

The Kenville site is 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) west of Nelson, British Columbia, which is located in the West Kootenay region of southern British Columbia. This is a prolific area of numerous mineral showings and past producing mines, including the Kenville Gold Mine, explored since the late 1800's.

The term of the agreement is for a period of 20 years. Hydro Quebec is recognized as a world leader in Research related to Lithium (Li)-ion battery technology and have patented Graphite refinement technologies specific to the Li-ion battery field.

The worldwide rights to use the patent rights allow the Company to develop, manufacture, use, sell, offer for sale, distribute or sell the patented products outlined in the agreement.

David Wodar, President and CEO of Industrial Minerals, said, "each cell of a lithium - ion battery uses 1.5 to 2 grams of 99.9+% Graphite, which translates to 20 to 30 kg's of graphite per Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and sells for a significant premium over the standard 95% purity products. This represents a tremendous opportunity for Industrial Minerals. We look forward to a strong relationship with Quebec - Hydro as we continue to advance in our business development."

Hydro Quebec concluded this partnership with Industrial Minerals in part because of its confidence in the technical expertise of the Company management team to implement and execute their production program as well as the capabilities and the resources of the Company to market and supply high purity graphite.

Both the Company and Hydro-Quebec will continue to work to develop further agreements in regards to the worldwide graphite market.
