Quest Oil Initiates Phase One Drilling Program for Acadia North Gas Project
By Staff
ARLINGTON, Texas, May 25, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) --
The Board of Directors of Quest Oil Corporation (OTCBB:QOIL) ( www.questoil.com ) is pleased to announce that the Company has mobilized its project geologist and survey crew to its Acadia North project, located in Municipal District of Acadia No. 34, Alberta in advance of a 3,000 ft (950 m) drilling program. This drill program marks the Company's first drilling campaign on the Acadia North Project and, when completed, will satisfy the Company's commitment to drill a minimum of one well on or before June 30th, 2005.
The Acadia Project is located in southeast Alberta near the Saskatchewan border. Acadia North consists of two sections totaling 1,280 gross acres overlying the vast Viking gas target. The Arneson Viking Pool is a shoreface sand deposit and oriented in a NE-SW direction. The pool has been encountered by four previously drilled wells since 1972. The porous sand ranges from 30 feet to 46 feet thick and contains gas. Pay zone thickness ranges from 4 feet to 12 feet with a proven and probable recoverable reserve of 10 BCF at a market value of $30 million.
On May 20, 2005 Quest Oil completed and closed project financing for $750,000 USD. These funds have allowed for immediate application for licensing and permitting of the two Acadia North gas sections. Quest Oil's operator, Transaction Oil and Gas Ventures has been retained to provide turnkey development through to tie-in. Survey crews are on site and will be determining potential drill site locations over the next three weeks. Drill rigs at present are being scheduled for mid-June and once on-site a two well drill program is expected to span a ten-day period through to completion and tie-in.
About Quest Oil Corporation
The Company is committed to the exploration and extensive development of oil and natural gas reserves throughout North America. Company management is focused on an acquisition program targeting high quality, low risk prospects provided through key strategic alliance partnerships. Participating in the development of North American oil and gas resources is becoming more necessary in the upstream industry and is consistent with Quest's growth strategy going forward.

Tonogold Resources, Inc. Announces Nyac Gold Project in Alaska
LA JOLLA, CA, May 24, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Tonogold Resources, Inc. (OTC: TNGL) is pleased to announce the signing of an Exploration and Lode Mining Lease for the Nyac Gold Project in southwestern Alaska. The agreement, Tonogold's first in Alaska was signed recently with Calista Corporation, the second largest of the 13 regional native corporations in Alaska with land entitlements of more than 6.5 million acres.
The Nyac Gold Project is located approximately 60 miles east of Bethel, Alaska and 300 miles west of Anchorage covering an area of approximately 57,600 acres. The Nyac District is located on the Tuluksak River and in the Kilbuck Mountains. The district lies within the Kuskokwin Gold Belt and southwestern extension of the recently recognized Tintina Gold Belt. One of the principal Calista properties in the Tintana Belt is the world-class Donlin Creek property located 150 miles east of Nyac and currently being developed by Placer Dome. Historical production in the Nyac District totals more than 500,000 ounces of gold, from 1908 to the present day. The current placer operator is Tuluksak Dredging, Ltd. Two dirt airstrips near the property provide small aircraft access. Periodic barge access is also possible on the Kuskokwim River during the summer.
Tonogold intends to move this early stage exploration property forward to advanced exploration status as quickly as possible. Fieldwork starting in June 2005 will include an intense surface geochem sampling and mapping program. Plans are also underway for an exploration permit and drilling in the 2006 season.
Jeff Janda, president of Tonogold said, "The Nyac Lease represents a major expansion of Tonogold's exploration activities. Alaska is consistently rated as one of the top gold exploration and mining jurisdictions in the world with attractive geological targets and a favorable regulatory environment. By teaming up with Calista Corporation we get a knowledgeable local partner with a track-record of working with mining companies to develop world class deposits."
Detailed terms of the agreement were not released but Tonogold said the Lease provides for an annual advanced royalty payable to Calista, minimum annual work requirements, a net smelter royalty when in production and an annual scholarship contribution to the Calista Scholarship Fund. Tonogold also intends to maximize the use of Calista shareholders as part of the fieldwork teams and Chiulista Camps Services' excellent field camp services program. Chiulista Camp Services is a wholly owned subsidiary of Calista Corporation.
Janda also stated, "The Nyac Gold Project was one of several opportunities presented recently to Tonogold. Nyac allows Tonogold to proceed with a significant fieldwork program in the summer of 2005 and a base for other projects being contemplated in Alaska both in 2005 and in later years. One of the main attributes of Nyac is the location on four drainages that have significant placer gold occurrences. This placer gold is apparently the result of very short transportation distances, less than four miles, indicating very attractive lode sources. We are pleased to be associated with Calista Corporation, a company we have found to provide excellent technical information and a cooperative atmosphere."
Tonogold Resources, Inc. is a minerals exploration company based in La Jolla, California with active investigation of precious metals and uranium projects in the western United States, Alaska and Mexico. The company also has a project office in the Denver, Colorado area. For more information on the Company visit their website www.tonogold.com .
Calista Corporation is the second largest of the 13 regional Alaskan native corporations formed in 1971 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Calista Corporation's land entitlements exceed 6.5 million acres in Southwest Alaska and contain some of the most mineral rich deposits in Alaska including Goodnews Bay (platinum) and Donlin Creek (Gold). Headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, Calista Corporation's region originally enrolled 13,300 native shareholders and currently contains 56 villages with a total population of 20,000 people.

SCAN USA Launches National Sex Offender Alerts on PCs and Mobile Devices; Nationwide Service Is Free to the Public, Tracking Sex Offenders By Zip Code
HOUSTON, May 24, 2005 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
SCAN USA Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sharp Holding Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: SHAR) announced today that the SCAN service has been expanded to alert the public of registered sex offender movement into their neighborhoods. The new predator alert feature of SCAN is available in California, Florida and Texas today and will be phased in nationally over the next eight weeks. SCAN is a national alert service that allows local police and fire departments, public safety agencies, schools and hospitals to send emergency alerts and critical safety information to the PCs, mobile phones and PDAs of neighborhood residents who may be at risk.
SCAN is provided to both public safety agencies and citizens completely free of charge through corporate sponsorships. SBC Communications, Inc. and SCAN USA Corporation entered into a distribution agreement for the SCAN program. In addition to the national predator tracking service, SCAN provides over fourteen different types of alerts including weather, traffic, health, environmental and Amber Alerts. Users register by zip code and choose which alerts they want to receive and where they should be sent -- PCs, mobile devices, or fax. SCAN also provides a National Sex Offender Registry that can be queried by zip code for 49 states and DC. Oregon currently does not have a sex offender registry available on-line.
George Sharp, Chairman of Sharp Holding Corp. says SCAN was created to keep your family safe. "We provide a three step approach to personal safety; first, be aware, next take action, then continue to stay informed. In the case of sexual predators this means knowing if any now live in your neighborhood, taking steps to avoid them, then staying alert to any newly registered sex offenders moving close to you." The public demand for this type of notification, along with physical tracking of sex offenders has led to legislation in Florida and now in the US Congress after multiple murders of young girls by released sex offenders.
SCAN notifies you when a state's sex offender registry indicates that a predator is using an address in your neighborhood. "This is public information, but many don't know where to look or rarely take the time to go through the volumes of information available in states' online registries," said Russ Krauss, Chief Operating Officer of SCAN USA. SCAN consistently monitors those data sources and provides updated information on a daily basis. "That does not mean you'll be getting sex offender notices everyday; it means we'll be watching the states' registries for your area everyday and alert you if there is a change," Mr. Krauss added.
Don Clark, former FBI Special Agent-In-Charge, says "I strongly urge people to take advantage of this free program. The SCAN alert service is an essential tool to help identify registered sex offenders that may be living in your area now as well as those who may move nearby in the future. Even though we know how important it is to have this information, none of us have the time to research it daily. SCAN is the best way to stay informed."
"Police officers and deputy sheriffs agree -- you deserve to know when a sexual predator moves into your neighborhood. We hope everyone registers for SCAN ( http://www.scanusa.com ) to begin receiving these alerts," says Monty Holden, Executive Director of California Organization of Police and Sheriffs (COPS).
About Sharp Holding Corporation: Sharp Holding Corporation invests in and manages start-up companies and new technologies that benefit society and are poised to capture significant market share. These technologies are typically very timely in terms of the needs of the marketplace -- and can therefore potentially generate substantial revenues in a short period of time. Sharp Holding Corporation's expertise in Internet-based security software development plus its corporate sponsor distribution programs are key elements in their various holdings, as evidenced by SCAN USA. Sharp Holding Corporation has additional technologies under development. For additional information or to enroll in the SCAN program, please visit http://www.scanusa.com .
In conjunction with the provisions of the "Safe Harbor" section to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, this release may contain forward-looking statements pertaining to future anticipated projection plans, performance and developments, as well as other statements relating to future operations. All such forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results and there can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Further information is included in the Company's Form 10K, which is filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission.

By Lindsay Beck
BEIJING (Reuters) - China has sealed off nature reserves and rushed more than 3 million doses of bird flu vaccine to a remote western province after migratory birds were found dead from the H5N1 strain, which can be fatal to humans.
Poultry across far-flung Qinghai province, neighboring Tibet and Xinjiang, had become the "target of a compulsory vaccination campaign," the China Daily newspaper said on Monday.
Scientists had proved that the virus killed scores of geese in Qinghai in early May, media said at the weekend, the first report of H5N1 detected in China since last year.
There had been no reports of the virus spreading to humans or domestic fowl in Qinghai, officials said. The area where the dead geese were found had been sealed off for 10 days.
"So far there has not been any human or any other poultry incident that has been reported and there are a lot of measures that have been taken in terms of prevention (and) in terms of vaccination," Noureddin Mona, China representative for the Food and Agriculture Organization, told Reuters.
The World Health Organization urged surveillance be stepped up.
"In terms of the evolution of the pandemic (threat) if it spreads over a larger area -- and this does seem like a new area -- then it is going to be harder to prise the virus out of the environment," said Dick Thompson, the WHO's spokesman in Geneva.
"This doesn't change the risk assessment but it's still at a high level."
The H5N1 strain has killed 37 Vietnamese, 12 Thais and four Cambodians since it swept across large parts of Asia in late 2003.
Vietnamese health officials said on Monday preliminary tests had shown another person had died of the virus at a hospital in Hanoi last week.
The WHO said last week the spate of human bird flu cases in Vietnam this year suggested the deadly form of the virus may be mutating in ways that are making it more capable of being passed between humans.
SERIOUS RISK
Experts said domestic poultry in China, the world's number two producer after the United States, could also be at risk.
"There is a significant possibility of that, given the fact that wild birds quite often use the same water sources and feeding sources as domestic ducks or domestic geese," said Malik Peiris, a microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong.
"One has to take this risk seriously."
China has been on high alert against bird flu after outbreaks in North Korea and Southeast Asia, which prompted it to tighten quarantine controls at its borders.
But Qinghai is far from either border and domestic media said the birds may have migrated over the Himalayas from India for the mating season.
Mona said affected areas in Qinghai were under quarantine.
"They have already sealed off the affected area and provided all the protective measures," he said.
The areas included an island in Qinghai Lake where more than 178 birds were found dead earlier this month, the official Xinhua news agency said. The island is home to more than 100,000 birds and is a major tourist attraction.
Last year, China successfully controlled outbreaks of bird flu with a combination of vaccinations, culling and surveillance, burning about 145,000 culled birds.
Experts said surveillance was especially important, since the disease had affected several different parts of Asia.
"Clearly it (this outbreak) shows this virus is still causing problems in this region," said Peiris.
China takes emergency steps as bird flu found

CirTran's 10Q Reports 363% Sales Increase, Positive EBITDA and Positive Shareholder Equity
CirTran Corporation (OTCBB: CIRT), an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, today reported an increase in sales of 352%, positive EBITDA of $26,518, and positive shareholder equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 in its 10-Q filing with the SEC.
Iehab J. Hawatmeh, CirTran's founder and president, said the company engineered a swing of nearly $3.5 million in total stockholder equity in the quarter, reporting $1,222,230 as compared with a deficit of $(2,242,033) as of December 31, 2004.
"This is the first time as a public company that CirTran has shown positive EBITDA and total shareholder equity," Mr. Hawatmeh said. "By any and all measures, CirTran is off to its best start ever."
CirTran's revenues were $2,920,465, up 352% over the $645,612 for the same period a year ago, while the company also achieved an 84% reduction in loss from operations, reporting $(59,199) as compared with $(366,965) for the first quarter a year ago.
Growing in the U.S. and China
"CirTran is growing on two continents," said Mr. Hawatmeh. "In the first quarter, we won more than $30 million (annualized) in new contracts for our less-than-a-year-old CirTran-Asia subsidiary, which manufactures products for the sold-on-TV consumer products industry, and grew here at home at our newly ISO 9001:2000-certified factory in Salt Lake."
Mr. Hawatmeh said CirTran's record start to 2005 followed what he called "a very strong fourth quarter and an overall fiscal revival in 2004." In its 10-KSB filing, CirTran reported a 629% increase in sales and a 77% reduction in losses for 2004 as compared with 2003.

CORRECTING and REPLACING OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc. Reaches First Settlement in OMDA, et. al Vs. Lanza, et. al. Lawsuit
Headline of release should read Settlement in OMDA, et. al (sted Settlement Agreement in OMDA, et al).
The corrected release reads:
OMDA OIL AND GAS, INC. REACHES FIRST SETTLEMENT IN OMDA, ET. AL VS. LANZA, ET. AL. LAWSUIT
OMDA Oil and Gas, Inc., an oil and gas production company (OTC.PK:OMOG), through its chairman, Adam Barnett, today announced that the company has settled with Barnabas Capital Corporation, Hoactzin Partners and Tengasco, Inc. regarding a 12 well re-completion program in the Concord Dome Field, near Palestine TX. The Agreement with the current operator and its investor group settles claims that conveyance of interests in the leases may be invalid and was done under fraudulent conditions by unauthorized persons. Although OMDA had not yet named the settling parties as defendants, settlement with OMDA at this time was prudent and in their best interests. The current Operator has already spent more than $800,000 in acquiring interests in the leases and reworking the wells during the past six months and anticipates significant additional expenditures over the next two to three months prior to bringing these wells on line.
Under the terms of the Agreement, OMDA will have no requirement to contribute capital, but will receive a 37.5% working interest after pay-out of all reworking expenditures in the twelve well program. Should OMDA not prevail in certain claims asserted in the Litigation against Joe Lanza and others, then OMDA would be required to re-convey 30% of the 37.5% interest to the current operator, leaving OMDA with 7.5%. In addition to the working interest, OMDA would also receive an ownership interest in the equipment valued at the same percentages and under the same terms as its working interest. OMDA also received an option to participate on a non-promoted basis ("heads up") up to a 37.5% working interest in future wells to be drilled on adjacent properties to the initial 12 wells on new acreage recently acquired by the Operator.
Adam Barnett, Chairman stated, "I cannot express in just a few short words here what a major first victory this is so early in the recently filed lawsuit against former management and co-conspirators. The fact that this group, who had not yet even been named as a defendant, upon reviewing our case proper to date, has come to the conclusion that it is prudent to settle now rather than risk the outcome of the lawsuit, speaks volumes of their opinion of the strength of our case against Lanza et. al." Barnett went on to say, "The President of the Operator has stated that he anticipates that once the wells are on production, which should be in the next few months, he expects revenues to be strong enough to pay out all his costs in less than twelve months, at which time OMDA will then begin receiving its respective share of cash flow for the balance of the life of the wells." Additionally Barnett stated, "Though normally in a case like this a first round of amended pleadings are not usually filed until after initial discovery and depositions have been taken, our counsel informs me that the investigation over the past month has uncovered so many additional causes of action against the Defendants that I have approved preparation of a first amendment to the pleadings which will be filed in the Harris County, Texas, Court shortly.

otcstockexchange.com: Stock Watch Alert -- OTCStockExchange.com HMNS, AMRE, GVRP, WFTV
Rochester, NY, May 23, 2005 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
OTCStockExchange.com's "Stock Watch Alert" this morning are Human Science Systems (Pink Sheets: HMNS), AmeriResource Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: AMRE), GLUV Corp. (Pink Sheets: GVRP), Wi-Fi TV Inc. (Pink Sheets: WFTV).

Human Science Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HMNS - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HMNS.PK )
Human Science Systems, Inc., a contact center consulting and software development firm, announced that Empire Research Associates has completed its initial report on the company, in which it recommends HMNS.PK as a "Strong Speculative Buy". The report is an invaluable research tool for both shareholders and strong potential investors.
In his report, William Walling, Chairman and Founder of Empire Research Associates, stated, "We are not yet prepared to present specific quantitative forecasts in this report. But, we sense that a 5% market share level in five years would be plausible (and probably conservative), if Central Authority(TM) catches on commercially. This could provide HMNS with annual revenues in the area of $25 million. At this level, profits would be juicy because software companies have high fixed costs and low variable costs, so rising incremental revenues pour down to the bottom line. Thus, a 40% margin on sales (fully taxed) would imply $10 million of net income in 2010. On the present 17.6 million shares, earnings would exceed $0.50 per share. Though inevitable future financing would necessarily dilute this amount, it would still be mighty attractive for a stock currently selling at $0.075."
Human Science Systems President Lou Mandic stated: "We're very proud of the results that William ("Bill") Walling's analysis has yielded. We know our company to be one with a bright and profitable future, and this report corroborates that fact."
Mandic continued, "In addition to the hours he spent on the phone as part of the preparation of this report, Bill Walling also traveled from New Jersey to meet with us down here in Florida. During his two day visit, Bill spent an extensive amount of time researching and discussing our product, business model and plan, and our marketing and distribution strategy. We entered this relationship with Empire Research impressed by Bill Walling's expertise and track record, and this feeling has only grown after seeing him in action. Bill didn't just look at our business through the eyes of the financial industry veteran that he is. He looked at our business through the eyes of a contact center agent, a potential customer, a potential distributor and, at times, even through the eyes of a software developer. Bill is, without a doubt, a force to be reckoned with, and our knowledge of this fact gives us an even greater appreciation for the results of his analysis."
Bill Walling is a Chartered Financial Analyst with over four decades in the financial services industry. The entire report will be immediately available at http://www.otcstockexchange.com .
Lou Mandic's career spans nearly three decades in the area of information management systems. He has managed technology divisions and projects for companies that include Citicorp, where he spent 16 years, IBM, and Vitas Healthcare Corporation. In 1994 Mandic joined Precision Response Corporation (PRC) as its first Chief Information Officer, a position he held through their 1996 Initial Public Offering and through which he helped manage the opening of nine Florida based contact centers for the company. PRC was subsequently acquired by USA Networks (now IAC/InterActiveCorp, NASD:IACI). While at PRC, Mandic spearheaded the initial funding of CELLIT Technologies, a company formed to develop computer telephony applications. CELLIT Technologies merged with call center technology veteran Davox Corporation in 2002, jointly becoming Concerto Software. In 1998, Mandic founded Concentric Enterprises, Inc., a contact center software reseller and consulting practice, and through this consulting practice identified the clear need for the products today developed by Human Science Systems.

AmeriResource Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: AMRE - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AMRE.OB )
AmeriResource Technologies, Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Net2Auction, Inc., has begun trading under the ticker symbol NAUC.
Net2Auction is a leading provider of auction drop off services that allow people to easily sell their items on eBay by dropping unwanted goods off at company locations.
The Company provides a full-service eBay auction listing program that boasts a customer satisfaction rating that exceeds 99%. Selling on eBay with Net2Auction is easy -- customers just bring valuable, yet unwanted goods into Net2Auction drop off locations and we do all of the work.
Customers can get in and out of our store in less than five minutes, and we take care of all the eBay selling tasks including product description, photos, payment processing and collection, and shipping. In exchange for providing eBay drop off and consignment services to its customers, Net2Auction charges a service fee against the final sale price of the item.
Currently operating several drop off locations in California through partnership agreements with pack and ship retail centers, Net2Auction has a winning formula for success: we have no cost of inventory, we are undergoing rapid expansion, and we reap lucrative consignment fees while making our customers money.
Net2Auction's rapid expansion is fueled by the growing number of U.S. consumers who would like to sell their unwanted goods on eBay, but don't have the time, energy, or know-how to do so. Management believes that the Company is facing an unprecedented growth opportunity in what is believed to be a $30,000,000,000 annual industry.
Delmar Janovec, Net2Auction President, commented, "It has been estimated that the online auction business approaches $30,000,000,000 annually, and we are working to capture a significant portion of that market.
"According to a recent AC Nielsen survey, 'American households have approximately $2,200 worth of unused items' that could possibly be sold on eBay. With the staggering number of people who can't or don't want to sell those items on eBay themselves, we believe we are targeting a market with immeasurable opportunity by offering a simple five-minute drop off service," Janovec concluded.
As auction drop off services such as Net2Auction are gaining the momentum that has been expected, industry analysts expect this exponential growth to continue.
GLUV Corp. (Pink Sheets: GVRP - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GVRP.PK )
GLUV Corp. announced that it has recently come to the Company's attention that 3 million shares of the Company's common stock were issued prior to the dividend payment date. According to the company, it appears that an unknown number of those shares have been improperly traded in the marketplace throughout the last few days.
The Board of Directors of the Company had voted that each shareholder holding shares on May 13, 2005, was entitled to a dividend payable in common shares of the Company at a ratio of 3 million shares for every 1 common share held on such date. However, at least 3 million of such shares appear to have been distributed prior to the payment date. The Company is investigating the reasons behind the distribution of these shares; however, it has reached out to the SEC seeking a halt on the trading of the Company's shares. No such shares should trade until further notice by the Company in order to determine the extent of the problem. The Company has commenced an internal investigation into this matter and fully intends to cooperate with regulators in resolving the situation.
DO NOT TRADE THESE SHARES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Wi-Fi TV Inc. (Pink Sheets: WFTV - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=WFTV.PK )
Wi-Fi TV Inc. announced that its Euro-Tainment division has activated eight new global web sites with 30,000 movies now available on a pay-per-view basis. All movies delivered are fully licensed.
'Freedom of choice is a key in the further development of the multi-billion dollar adult entertainment industry, and Euro-Tainment is positioned to be a global player in this field. We look forward to working with Euro-Tainment on a global scale to push the envelope in how filmed entertainment is delivered online on a pay-per-view basis so that customers can select any movie and receive it at any time,' said Cynthia Kwasny, a principal of AEBN and Ambitious Dreams Entertainment and a nominee for Best Female Adult Personality at the 2005 Best of Adult Awards. AEBN, Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network, is a global VOD (video on demand) leader. Ms. Kwasny is a consultant to Euro-Tainment.
Euro-Tainment, which specializes in adult entertainment, utilizes the same streaming video delivery, secure downloadable video delivery and secure online pay-per-view payment technology which has already been successfully implemented online by Wi-Fi TV, Inc. in other venues.

Ruby Mining Company Announces Shipwreck Porcelain Auctioned at Nantucket Wine Festival
By Staff
ATLANTA, May 23, 2005 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) --
Ruby Mining Company (OTCBB:RUBM), conducting operations through its subsidiary, Admiralty Corporation (Admiralty), announced today that Nova Marine Exploration, Inc. donated two pieces of ancient shipwreck porcelain, which were auctioned for charity at the 9th Annual Nantucket Wine Festival this weekend. They, along with a bottle of champagne, raised $2,800.00 for charity. The festival, held on Nantucket Island off of the coast of Massachusetts, is one of the region's most celebrated wine and food events. All proceeds of the auction benefit the Nantucket Historical Association. The festival was well attended and mostly sold out. Please visit their interesting web site, www.nantucketwinefestival.com .
The donated items were from a collection of shipwreck porcelain recovered by Nova Marine Exploration, a joint venture partner of Admiralty in which we hold an equity stake. The donated Ming Plate is 7.5 inches in diameter. The provenance is pure--it was produced from a kiln in China about 500 years ago and loaded onto a transport vessel, which was at the bottom of the sea until five years ago. It was stabilized after recovery and is in excellent condition. The familiar blue and white pattern achieved popularity in the European marketplace after this plate had already been in the sea for 200 years.
The donated Sung Dynasty (960-1279 CE) bowl is 6.5 inches in diameter is perhaps the highest expression of China's ceramic artistry. The monochromatic "white ware" was produced for export, then lost at sea on a ship that sunk en route to South Asia or the Middle East about 1115 A.D.. It still looks practically brand new after almost 900 years at the bottom of the sea
A lecture entitled "Rare Wines and Rare Finds -- Wine and Sung -- a Sung Dynasty Bowl and Ming Plate" was hosted by Marc Geriene, one of Admiralty's directors. The purpose of our participation was to excite the public concerning rare and valuable artifacts that are available from shipwrecks. This is part of a continuing program to build an interest and a market for items that we ultimately rescue from the sea.
Please visit www.admiraltycorporation.com for more information. In other news, photographs from Project Orange will be posted later this week on our Web site.
