On behalf of the Board, Bryce M.A. Porter President and CEO About Lysander Since the spin-out of its Lorraine-Jajay copper-gold project to Lorraine Copper Corp. (TSX-V: LLC) in April 2008, Lysander's declared strategy is to seek advanced resource projects with potential for exceptional returns, without geographical limitations. It has focused on energy, commencing with options to acquire the Verticalnaya anthracite coal project in the Donbass Coal Basin of Ukraine. In June 2008, Lysander added to its Board of Directors Mr. Charles Pitcher, a director and former CEO of Western Canadian Coal Corp. (TSX-V: WTN), who is a mining engineer and manager with extensive experience, and Mr. John Conlon, whose directorships include Cambrian Mining PLC, Western Canadian Coal Corp. and Coal International PLC, who has experience in mining operations and the management and financing of mines. Mr. John Newton, merchant banker, has been a director of the Company since 2005. In September 2008, a NI 43-101 technical report on the Verticalnaya mine was prepared on behalf of Lysander and is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and the Company's website. A technical report on a possible satellite operation north of Verticalnaya mine is currently in preparation. Lysander is also investigating the acquisition of an interest in a company with North Sea gas and oil projects. The Verticalnaya coal mine is situated in the Lugansk region of Ukraine. The mine previously produced anthracite, a high quality, premium priced coal. It is on care and maintenance after a period of low production following the break-down of the Soviet Union.
