Iberian to Amend Quorum Threshold Requirements in Proposed New By-Law

TORONTO, ONTARIO (the "Company") announced today a change to the proposed By-Laws to be voted upon at the upcoming Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on December 19th, 2007 at 10:00 am EST.

After discussions with Institutional Shareholder Services Canada Corp. (ISS), Canada's leading independent authority on proxy voting and corporate governance, the Company has undertaken to amend the quorum requirement under the proposed new By-Laws to provide that quorum for a shareholders meeting shall be at least 2 shareholders present in person or represented by proxy representing a minimum of 25% (up from 10%) of the common shares of the Company eligible to vote at the meeting. This undertaking from the Company has resulted in ISS recommending that shareholders vote "FOR" the approval of the adoption of the new By-Laws as set forth in the management information circular of the Company dated November 20, 2007.

As a result of the undertaking, ISS is now recommending that shareholders vote in favor of all three resolutions to be put before shareholders at the upcoming special meeting.

Amsterdam ("Trafigura") the Company has also signed a long-term offtake agreement with Trafigura for the sale of all its metal concentrates from Aguas Tenidas.

In addition to the Aguas Tenidas project the Company, through MATSA, holds an extensive land position of exploration properties within the Iberian Pyrite Belt.
