Some new Lamaque pictures

Pictures 18 to 21 are new. They might be pictures of some of the new low profile equipment (maybe a jumbo drill and a couple of loaders) - the low profile (mechanical) equipment was expected to begin arriving mid March and extending into April. One of the loaders says ``Scooptram`` on the side. I believe Scooptram is one of the companies that make this low profile equipment. However, I really don`t know enough about mining equipment to say with certainty that this is the new low profile equipment.

From the March 1st NR:

``Other notable items include the commitment of approximately $7.0 million for new and near-new underground mining equipment for DELIVERY COMMENCING MARCH 15th, 2010. New lease lines are being put in place to support the acquisition of this equipment, which includes a combination of LOW PROFILE SCOOPS and JUMBO DRILLS, as well as mine trucks and miscellaneous mine equipment. The equipment shop facility is full of existing equipment which is being readied for the start-up of mining the first week of March 2010.``

Atlas Copco is the manufacturer of this equipment and "Scooptram " is the model name.
