Mineral Wealth: Wall Street Reporter Talks to Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd., Copper Fox Metals Inc. and Fortune Metals Ltd.


NEW YORK, April 7, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Reporter has posted exclusive video interviews introducing investors to opportunities in gold, coal, copper, bismuth, molybdenum, and other headline commodities emerging from companies like Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd. (ASX:KCN), Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX-V:CUU), and Fortune Minerals Ltd. (TSX:FT).

Investors can watch or download the interviews, along with a rich library of additional content recorded in Toronto at the 2008 Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention, at www.WallStreetReporter.com.

With 6-1/2 years of producing gold in Thailand under its belt, Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd. (ASX:KCN) has validated its strategy of "setting ourselves up as Asia's showcase mine" and is now actively pursuing additional leases to expand the operation, says Stephen Promnitz, the company's corporate development manager.

Highlights of the interview:



 -- The likelihood that the additional leases will come through in the
    next few months.

 -- Details on the company's plans to take its average mining grade
    up to around 2 grams of gold per ton while doubling production to
    a level of about 300,000 ounces of gold and 2 million ounces of
    silver a year.

 -- Chairman Ross Smyth-Kirk's outlook on Thailand's new government as
    being especially friendly toward mining interests.

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX-V:CUU) is advancing one of the world's biggest undeveloped copper-gold deposits and the numbers just keep getting better, CEO Guillermo Salazar tells WSR. "Every single time we design a program that will help define the economic nature of the project, it has been proven that it was a lot better than what we thought."

Highlights of the interview:



 -- Current estimates that the project can sustain production at
    annual levels of 65,000 tons of copper, 145,000 ounces of gold,
    10,000 tons of molybdenum, and 1 million ounces of silver for
    over three decades.

 -- The near-term timetable for wrapping feasibility work by winter.

 -- Gold & Technology Stocks editor Jay Taylor's appraisal of the
    project as being at a "very, very" advanced stage.

Fortune Minerals Ltd. (TSX:FT) is moving toward a 2011 production start on both a big and extraordinarily high-quality coal project and an unusual bismuth project with substantial gold and cobalt values. "Both of these projects have been test mined," says CEO Robin Goad. "Fortune has the goods."

Highlights of the interview:



 -- Why Mr. Goad expects Asian demand for the company's 2.8
    billion-ton anthracite coal deposit to be high. "It's the
    highest-quality coal there is."

 -- Background on how soaring cobalt and bismuth prices play into
    assets that were judged bankable at a third of their current
    commodity values.

 -- Additional upside from gold.
