UC Hub Obtains First Round in $1 Million Funding and Prepares to Launch Mining Operations

UC Hub has agreements pending or in force with certain miners and gem entities to purchase all production from their mines. In recent months, the Company has accumulated over 5,000 carats of sapphires, which are now being cut and prepared for sale through one of several ready markets. Based upon industry wholesale pricing, which grades individual gems according to the size, the carats, cut and clarity, the price of these stones range from $600 to several thousand dollars per carat for Natural Montana Sapphires. The Company also has some placer gold (several ounces) and approximately $25,000 of additional cut sapphires for potential buyers whom are in discussions with the Company.

UC Hub is conducting research on properties in the area and is in the process of acquiring a site known for historic gold and sapphire production. When the purchase is finalized, the property will go through the applicable Montana permitting process. During the next several months, the remaining equipment will have been acquired and moved to the mine site, and our team will commence full-time mining operations. The initial crew has been hired and is on-site working on operational issues, cost analysis and production schedules. The rest of the experienced mining team will arrive when full production on the various properties is set to begin with the appropriate operations entity.

Commenting on recent developments, CEO Larry Wilcox said, "Finalizing the funding necessary to launch this mining operation was a critical milestone as UC Hub completes its transition from the 'development stage' into its revenue-generating, 'emerging growth' phase. We are particularly pleased we have accomplished this capitalization without significant dilution to our shareholders. We felt this was essential while our stock is still relatively unknown by the market."

Wilcox said that he anticipates the Company will extract thousands of carats of sapphires monthly and that he is equally optimistic about the projected yield of gold, to be extracted simultaneously. He indicated that historically mines in the district produced $5 million in gold and 900,000 carats of sapphires annually when gold was $32 an ounce.

"The Company will consider this project a win when we meet our projections of $1-3 million annually in combined revenues from both sapphires and gold," added Wilcox. "With spot gold having recently closed over $1,200 and oil at approximately $75 per barrel, we are excited about the potential represented in our several active properties, including our oil property in southern Illinois, all of which are gearing up for meaningful production," he said.

UC HUB GROUP, INC. is an acquisition-oriented company focused on recurring revenue and growth through a portfolio of producing oil and gas leases and proven mineral and gem properties throughout North America. Visit the Company's web site at www.uchub.net.
