Playfair is changing focus to concentrate in the near term on a new copper silver opportunity in the Seal Lake basin. Acquired, by 100% staking, in 673 claims covering 16,825 hectares in the Seal Lake area of Central Labrador. The property covers some 136 copper and copper-silver occurrences including 16 copper-silver showings and 9 copper silver prospects, all discovered mainly via prospecting in the 1950's. Almost all the showings and prospects occur within a consistent and laterally extensive stratigraphic interval - the basal gray shale of the Upper Adeline Island Formation. The copper-silver enriched Adeline Island Formation is believed to form a canoe shape, with the rock unit outcropping over an estimated area measuring about 33km long by up to 4.4km wide. Playfair's Seal Lake Copper Silver Project covers the entire mapped extent of the favourable sedimentary unit and its probable subsurface continuation. The mineralization and geology of this new project is similar to the Kupferschiefer type copper-silver deposits that are the focus of ongoing work at Hana Mining's Ghanzi property in Botswana.Playfair continues to believe that there is a strong case for an upcoming global Tungsten shortage. With four high-grade Tungsten deposits Playfair remains well positioned to take advantage of the expected upcoming global Tungsten shortage and associated Tungsten price increase.

Consolidated Spire Ventures Ltd. is a junior Canadian exploration company dedicated to the pursuit and exploration of gold, silver and other mineral deposits in Canada and North America, such as the recent acquisition of the 100% mineral interest in 164,072 contiguous acres in an area prospective for lithium, located about 30kms south-southeast of Fox Creek, Alberta within the Devonian Leduc Formation.The phase I drill program will consist of approximately 1,500 metres in 12 to 14 diamond drill holes. Several new areas in the South Discovery Zone will be tested, following up on results of the November and December 2009 infill soil grid. The results were very encouraging with individual values up to 1.2 g/t Au within a gold-in-soil anomaly up to 400m wide and spanning a northeast-southwest strike length of approximately 700m. The South Discovery Zone is part of a gold-in-soil anomaly extending nearly 2km in total strike length.Other phase 1 drilling is designed to test the continuity of gold mineralization intersected in South Discovery, in 2006 and 2007. Those programs included drill intercepts such as 50.6 metres of 1.36 grams per tonne gold in DDH 2006-21, 66.8 m of 0.90 g/t gold in DDH 2007-02, 96.5 m of 0.74 g/t gold in DDH 2007-0545.6m of 0.94g/t gold in DDH 2007-03. Diamond drilling during 2006 and 2007 in a small portion of the South Discovery Zone anomaly yielded some of the widest intervals of gold mineralization on the property. Should sufficient continuity exist, the results will be used to estimate an initial, NI 43-101-compliant resource for the South Discovery zone.Spire Ventures announced in October 2009, that the TSX Venture Exchange had given final approval for the Option Agreement dated July 20, 2009 with Altair Ventures Incorporated (“Altair”) (TSX-V: AVX) of Vancouver, British Columbia.
