Mining Sector

In June 2005, Humboldt commenced an active investment program in the mining sector. The basis for this investment decision was the recognition of steadily increasing demand for base metals as well as the assumption that, with higher prevailing commodity prices, mining companies have improved access to capital and are able to conduct active exploration programs. Due to long prevailing depressed industry conditions in the mining sector, there appears to be a great number of excellent exploration targets and Humboldt has allocated both the personnel and capital to review and acquire share positions in conservative, well run mining exploration firms. In addition, the Company has built up a significant portfolio of diamond exploration stocks, focusing on the larger companies involved with the Saskatchewan diamond play as well as the evolving exploration effort in central Quebec.

Humboldt significantly increased its investment in the mining sector and currently has $4.7 million invested. This sector has a market value of $6.0 million, representing 8.4% of Humboldt’s asset value. Investments in this sector range from the more speculative Canadian diamond mining industry, international base metal explorers and to larger production companies.

Have a nice day !

Imagine this Corporation is (what they say) is a pioneer and leader of advanced compliance process control solutions but it gives options to the directors of its Audit Committee ! I don't know what you think about it.

It is not an illegal practice but I believe that Audit Committee members should not receive compensation in form of options.
