TVI ANNOUNCES MEMBERS OF PROJECT ADVISORY GROUP

TVI Pacific Inc. has released the members of its new project advisory group, consisting of independent, seasoned mining exploration and project assessment experts who will be assisting TVI in evaluating new opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. "I am pleased to highlight the exceptional team of experts that is assisting TVI in evaluating projects which TVI can hold majority ownership and operatorship in," stated Cliff James, president and chief executive officer of TVI. "Our goal is to find projects which can be rapidly explored, developed and ultimately put into production within a relatively short period of time to generate cash flows -- something the TVI team has previously achieved in the Philippines."
