Company Profile:
www.otcpicks.com/copper-king-mining/copper-king-mining.htm

Copper King Mining Corporation currently owns approximately 1200 acres in the Drum Mountains of Utah, which are patent deeded mining claims which contain gold, silver and copper. The company recently added to its holdings by filing six more claims on land which was inside their holdings, but not patent deeded. Contiguous to that acreage is approximately 1100 acres of claims filed by Western Utah Copper Company. As the companies explored the concept of a joint venture on the Drum Mountain properties, it was decided that a very viable consideration was to join the total assets of both companies.

December 3 - Copper King Restructures Senior Debt to Allow for Strengthened Balance Sheet from Operating Cash Flow

Copper King Mining Corporation (OTC: CPRK) ("Copper King") announced that it has reached an agreement in principle with its senior debt holders for an extension of the date for payoff until January 1, 2010, more than a full year following the expected start-up of milling operations. The restructuring will allow the Company time to establish stable cash flows from production and for the arrangement of permanent financing to replace the current secured debt. The agreement is subject to the finalization and execution of definitive documentation. The company now plans to reach similar agreements with junior debt holders.

Expected Cash Flow and Strengthening of Balance Sheet

With cash flows expected to begin in early 2009, the company will evaluate a number of options to strengthen its balance sheet and capital structure. In addition to the payoff of existing debt with more favorable permanent financing, the company will also consider pursuing open market buy-backs and retirement of outstanding stock in order to provide a tighter capital structure. The company anticipates that the increasing cash flow, stronger balance sheet and tighter capital structure will engender a more stable trading market for its securities and also allow the company to pursue a formal exchange listing.

At the same time, the company has also tracked a number of reductions in its projected operating costs that will correspond to reduced metal prices. The cost reductions will serve to soften the impact of the current lower copper, silver, gold and other metal prices. Notably, reduced fuel and materials costs are expected to be realized in the company’s operations. The company believes that actual demand for copper and all other commodities is strong and will increase. Further, the potential for inflation, once credit and election uncertainties are eased, will put significant upward pressure on metal prices. The company therefore believes that, as it moves into the production phase on its Hidden Treasure Mine, metal prices will recover upward toward their recent highs and perhaps begin to move even higher.

Recent Exploration Success and Upside Potential

In addition, the company believes that the high-grade ore at its Hidden Treasure Mine (in excess of 2% copper with additional credits for silver, gold, molybdenum and magnetite) will also serve to keep its operating costs among the lowest in the industry on a per pound of copper basis.

November 19 - Medivisor, Inc. Reaches Marketing Agreement for NICLite®, a Smoking Alternative Drink

Medivisor, Inc. (OTC: MVSR), developer of next-generation focus driven marketing tools, sales strategies, and distribution platforms, announced that it has entered into an agreement with The Curry Group, agent for Nico Worldwide Inc., for the sale and marketing of NICLite®. NICLite® is an alcohol-free Smoking Alternative Drink that is registered with the FDA as a Homeopathic Nicotinum Complex Formula.

Over 2.5 billion people (close to half the world's population) smoke cigarettes. This includes an astounding 48.2 million Americans. Throughout the world, legislation is demanding a ban on smoking. As confirmed in the New England Journal of Medicine, nicotine is a naturally occurring compound. It is found in common foods and vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, cauliflower, eggplant, chili peppers, and some types of tea. The World Health Organization has estimated that tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, of which nicotine is just one. In addition to tar, there is also carbon monoxide (found in car exhaust fumes), ammonia (found in floor cleaner) and arsenic (found in rat poison). At least 43 of the chemicals in tobacco smoke are known to cause cancers of the lung, throat, mouth, bladder and kidneys. Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of other cancers.

NICLite® contains a purified organic nicotine molecule in a Complex Homeopathic Formula, which will go into equal suspension in 8 ounces of pharmaceutical grade water. Nico Worldwide Inc. developed NICLite® as a smoking alternative for when people can't smoke, shouldn't smoke or choose not to smoke, and to reduce the craving for tobacco.

"With an increasing number of places and countries banning smoking, NICLite® offers people a real alternative, and the ability to live life smoke free," stated Dino Luzzi, president of Medivisor, Inc. "The potential marketplace for this product is almost limitless."

November 24 - SupportSave Opens New Office to Support Customer Demand

SupportSave Expands Sales and Marketing Efforts; Office in Boca Raton, Florida

SupportSave Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: SSVE), a provider of Business Processing Outsourcing ("BPO") services from the Philippines and the U.S., announced the opening of its new office in Boca Raton, Florida. The addition of the new office will extend SupportSave's market reach and provide additional support and services that are critical to the company's expanding customer base and partner channel.

In the past year, SupportSave has experienced increasing demand for its products and services showing a revenue growth rate of nearly 400%. During the past two years, due to the consistent increase in sales and ongoing development of the company's partner channel, SupportSave strategically grew staff levels to approximately 200 employees and grow its operations center in the Philippines to meet this demand. While continuing to build its infrastructure, the Boca Raton, Florida office will provide additional sales and services resources.

As the company grows, SupportSave's concentration still hinges on providing cost effective services for their customers and partners. Aina Dumlao, chief operating officer at SupportSave, commented, "SupportSave's focus has always been on understanding the client, their environment and the services that they need, whether it is customer service, technical support or back office services." Dumlao continued, "We are committed to ensuring the success of our customers and partners by offering a high quality low cost service model. The Boca Raton office is the next step in advancing that model to meet business demands today, tomorrow and long into the future."

"We are very excited about our year over year growth," stated Chris Johns, chief executive officer at SupportSave. "The continued weakness in the U.S. economy is driving businesses to seek cost effective solutions to keep their businesses relevant and viable while still providing customers the highest levels of support. We have never had such a robust pipeline in our history and this sales office will give us the ability to complete the sales cycle and accelerate our growth," added Johns.

"We chose Boca Raton because of the many talented financial and mortgage professionals displaced by the financial crisis and the ability to attract and retain these sales professionals with our lucrative residual income model. With just modest success, we believe our sales professionals will be earning six figure incomes within a year without cutting into the companies bottom line," continued Johns.

Opening a domestic sales office further demonstrates the counter cyclical nature of SupportSave's business. While other companies are shedding jobs, the Outsourcer is actually adding to its ranks in the U.S.

November 24 - Perf Go Green Enters Canadian Market Through Partnership With Diversified Brands

Perf Go Green Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: PGOG), a marketer and distributor of biodegradable plastics, announced a partnership with Diversified Brands to broker and represent Perf Go Green to retailers throughout Canada.

Founded in 2004, Diversified is a brand development and marketing company with offices in Vancouver, British Columbia and Ajax, Ontario. The firm was recognized in 2007 and 2008 in Profit Magazine's “Hot 50,” which ranks the fastest growing companies in Canada each year.

“This is a great new opportunity for Perf Go Green,” said Chairman and CEO Tony Tracy. “Diversified's management team has a total of 80 years of experience in the Canadian retail market. Their full line of services, combined with their enthusiasm for our mission of protecting the environment, will be a perfect complement to the marketing efforts we already have in place in the U.S.”

Geoff Acheson, CEO of Diversified Brands, added, “We specialize in using our network of relationships with retailers of all sizes to introduce select new brands to the Canadian marketplace and help them grow their presence. Canadians are especially interested in earth-friendly products so we're confident that Perf Go Green will be a big hit with both the nation's retailers and consumers.”

Founded in November 2007, Perf Go Green premiered at the March 2008 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, where its products were honored for their design quality and innovation. Since Perf Go Green's products began shipping in June 2008, they have become available online and nationwide in the U.S. at stores with a total of more than 18,000 retail outlets.

Perf Go Green products incorporate recycled plastics that are combined with an oxo-biodegradable proprietary application method to produce the film for its bags. Based on environmental claims statements made by the manufacturer of the oxo-biodegradable applied to our bags, when discarded in soil and exposed to the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, we believe Perf Go Green products biodegrade within two years, decomposing into simple materials found in nature much faster than regular plastics, which can take hundreds of years to break down. Through this process and the use of recycled plastics, Perf Go Green effectively removes plastic waste from the environment. In addition, Perf Go Green trash bags utilize a unique patented dispensing system that stores the bags on the bottom of trashcans and dispenses them one at a time, similar to a tissue box.

Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation (eTec), a wholly owned subsidiary of ECOtality, Inc.

Initially developed to fast-charge electric vehicles, the technology has applications in various electric-power operations and is currently used in material handling, low-speed electric vehicles and airport ground support operations. December 2008 marks the ten-year anniversary of Minit-Charger’s first commercial installation for material handling operations. The initial installation also remains the longest-running fast-charge operation to date.

“With over 4,800 charging stations in operation in over 270 facilities in North America, eTec Minit-Charger has powered more than 90 million operational hours, and is the most advanced and reliable fast-charge technology,” said Kevin Morrow, Executive Vice President of eTec Minit-Charger. “By transitioning from battery-swapping operations to the eTec Minit-Charger system, our clients experience immediate cost savings, improved worker safety, and increased productivity. As the pioneering fast-charge technology, Minit-Charger has powered the material handling needs of Fortune 500 companies for over a decade, and has proven that fast-charging is the safest, most reliable, and most economic power choice for mobile vehicles. Through our unparalleled fast-charging experience, we remain the most qualified provider of charging stations for material handling and on-road electric vehicle applications.”

Traditional material handling operations consist of swapping 2500-pound batteries out of equipment and replacing them with freshly charged batteries - a time-consuming process that slows operations, requires dedicated battery-charging and swapping areas, numerous spare batteries and poses obvious safety concerns. Utilizing eTec’s Minit-Charger systems, material handling operations can recharge lift-truck batteries in convenient 10- to 15-minute periods (i.e. breaks, shift changes or lunch), eliminating the need for handling heavy batteries, reducing the amount of batteries purchased, and saving valuable floor space. By transitioning to eTec Minit-Charger from a battery-swapping process, warehouses and distribution centers typically experience a 40% annual cost savings and recover over 250 annual operating hours per truck.

December 1 - RAM Holdings Announces Commutation of $10.6 Billion Par MBIA Portfolio Including $6.8 Billion Par of Structured Finance Transactions

RAM Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: RAMR) announced that its operating subsidiary, RAM Reinsurance Company Ltd. ("RAM Re") has entered into a Commutation Agreement, effective November 30, 2008, to commute its entire $10.6 billion portfolio of business assumed from MBIA Insurance Corporation and affiliates effective upon receipt by MBIA of a commutation payment of $156.5 million, which includes return of $51.5 million of unearned premium reserves (calculated on a U.S. statutory basis) and $61.3 million of estimated loss reserves and impairments (a non-GAAP measure) as of September 30, 2008.

The commuted portfolio of $10.6 billion par outstanding (as of September 30, 2008) consists of:

* $6.8 billion par of structured finance transactions including
* $439.3 million of collateralized debt obligations of asset-backed securities (ABS CDOs) (all structured as credit derivatives)
* $2.4 billion of collateralized debt obligations of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS CDOs)
* $453.0 million of 2005 - 2008 vintage U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS)
* $3.8 billion of public finance transactions including
* $1.2 billion of international public finance transactions

As of RAM's September 30, 2008 financial information, the commuted portfolio represented approximately:

* 98% of RAM's total unrealized losses on ABS CDO credit derivatives contracts
* 100% of total par outstanding of ABS CDOs for which RAM has established credit impairments
* 37% of total loss reserves for RMBS transactions
* 45% of total par outstanding of RMBS for which RAM has established case reserves
* 99% of total par outstanding of CMBS CDO transactions

As at September 30, 2008, estimated Bermuda statutory capital and surplus of RAM Re was $193.6 million, and the estimated minimum required statutory capital and surplus was $24.9 million. RAM Re’s estimated Bermuda statutory capital and surplus as of September 30, 2008 would have been $147.9 million if the MBIA commutation had been effected at September 30, 2008, exceeding the estimated minimum requirement which would have been $14.2 million. The fair market value of the portion of RAM Re’s portfolio not held in trust for the benefit of its ceding companies would have been $117.1 million if the MBIA commutation had been effected at September 30, 2008. In addition, RAM Re still has access to $50 million from its Blue Water Trust committed preferred securities facility, should RAM require additional liquidity. As such, RAM continues to believe that it will be able to meet expected claims payments and operating expenses for the foreseeable future, barring further unexpected deterioration in the insured portfolio.

Commenting on the commutation, Vernon M. Endo, RAM's Chief Executive Officer, said, "This commutation represents another milestone in RAM's efforts to restructure its insured portfolio. As a result of the MBIA commutation, we have reshaped our insurance portfolio by reducing our overall exposure to ABS CDOs and 2005 – 2008 vintage US RMBS by more than 64% and 27%, respectively. After the commutation, U.S. public finance exposure will increase from 51.3% to 60.1% of our portfolio."

RAM will update its insured portfolio disclosure on its website at www.ramre.bm under Investor Information/Exposure Info and Updates to show the effect of the MBIA commutation on RAM’s insured portfolio as of September 30, 2008. In addition, RAM will provide additional information on the effect of the commutation on its insurance portfolio and financial results when it releases its earnings for the fourth quarter.

December 3 - OGX-011 Shows Overall Survival Advantage in Prostate Cancer Compared to Standard Therapy in a Randomized Phase 2 Study

* First-line trial currently shows median overall survival of 27.5 months for OGX-011 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone and a 16.9 months overall survival for docetaxel and prednisone alone.

* Achievement of survival benefit milestone results in release of all remaining escrowed shares of OGXI.

OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: OGXI) announced positive survival results from a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of OGX-011 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone ("the OGX-011 arm") compared to docetaxel and prednisone alone ("the control arm") for first-line treatment of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. The current 10.6 month median overall survival advantage observed in the OGX-011 arm represents an increase over the median survival observed in the control arm. Docetaxel was approved by the FDA based on a survival advantage of 2.4 months over mitoxantrone.

Based on the median overall survival advantage, the Board of Directors of OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals has approved the release of all of the remaining shares held in escrow pursuant to agreements related to Sonus Pharmaceuticals' merger with OncoGenex Technologies described in its Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on July 3, 2008. The escrow agreements provided for the release of 50% of the original number of shares held in escrow following the demonstration of at least a two-month improvement in survival in the OGX-011 arm as compared to the control arm. All milestone shares have now been released from escrow; as of December 3, 2008 there are 5,513,643 shares outstanding.

The trial was conducted and data were analyzed by the National Cancer Institute of Canada, Clinical Trials Group and was supported by a grant from the NCI-Canada with funding from the Canadian Cancer Society. Previous results regarding the primary endpoint analysis (PSA response) were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) on June 2, 2007.

The study randomized 82 patients with metastatic or locally recurring prostate cancer refractory to hormone therapy. The median survival was 27.5 months for the patients in the OGX-011 arm and 16.9 months for those in the control arm. Results currently indicate that patients in the OGX-011 arm have a death rate approximately 40% lower than patients in the control arm. The current results are based on study data with a median follow-up of approximately 30 months for both arms. Additional survival updates are needed before a mature median survival for the OGX-011 arm can be reported. Based on the current results, OncoGenex has calculated that the final median survival for patients in the OGX-011 arm can not be lower than 22.7 months.

An abstract presenting the mature results is planned to be submitted to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting.
