experience. We look forward to improving corporate governance measures in place
at the Company and sending clear signs of the Board's responsiveness to
shareholders."


Further, the Board has created a strategic review and transition committee
comprised of the following: Kuldeep Billan, Farhad Abasov and Peter R. Jones.


Kuldeep Billan commented "as per our Concerned Shareholder proxy circular, a key
component of the new Board's plan is to undertake a strategic review of all of
the Company's assets, specifically its 35% interest in the Duncan Lake Iron Ore
Project. As the Board undertakes its review, the appropriate financial and legal
advisors will be engaged. We look forward to updating shareholders in due
course."


As well, Director Mr. Sandy C.K. Chim wishes to address certain allegations
published by previous management of the Company in a press release dated August
25, 2011, with respect to potential conflicts of interest. Mr. Chim has been the
Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Century Iron Ore Corporation (an indirect
subsidiary of Century Iron Mines Corporation) since 2008, and this was to the
full knowledge of the previous Board of Directors of Augyva. Mr. Chim has
informed the Company that any past, current or foreseen interest of Mr. Chim in
any matter that could potentially be conflicting with his duties as Director of
the Company, including those matters mentioned in the August 25, 2011 press
release, were disclosed to the previous Board in a timely manner. In addition,
he advised the new Board that he has always acted with integrity and openly with
the other members of the previous Board and will continue to act in the same
diligent and transparent manner vis-a-vis the new Board, the Company and its
shareholders.

completed in December 2010 an internal opportunity study of the property. Augyva
also awarded Roche Ltd. the mandate to carry out an environmental scoping study
(ESS) for the project. Augyva has also completed the first 8,000 meters of its
Phase II drilling program which began in January 2011 and a total of 24 holes
have been drilled. Assay results will be released shortly. Other iron and
related opportunities continue to be evaluated on an ongoing basis.
