InterAmerican Resources, Inc. Announces Exploration Drilling Permits Received
MIAMI, Oct 23, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- InterAmerican Resources, Inc. (OTC:IAMR) wholly owned subsidiary, Sovereign Resources, Inc. reported that it has received the necessary permits to begin an exploration drilling program at its porphyry copper-molybdenum project.
The Company has signed a contract with a diamond drilling company for an initial 3,000 foot core drilling program; equipment and personnel are being mobilized, and drilling is expected to begin within the next few days.
The core-drilling program will test targets believed to be fault-offsets to the known ore deposit. Results of the drilling program should also help establish the relative levels of silver and gold by-product credits in the Cu-Mo porphyry system, as well as provide an initial indication of the potential additional tonnages present in the fault-offsets to the original deposit.
The Company has also retained an independent consultant to monitor core drilling, sampling, assaying and chain-of-custody practices related to the exploration program. IAMR will update shareholders as these reports are received.

News Release: For Immediate Release
TRIANGLE MULTI-MEDIA LIMITED, INC. President Frank Olsen announces launch of "Direct Connect"
Palm Springs, CA. October 4, 2001 - Triangle Multi-Media Limited, Inc. (Pinksheets/NQB - QBID)
The Triangle Television Network is proud to announce that it is developing a new distribution plan, which is called "Direct Connect", that will expedite the availability of the Triangle Television Network signal in your area. Through Frank Olsen's extensive background and contacts in the merchandise "close-out" business, the company has been able to locate the satellite equipment needed to rapidly implement this plan and make the equipment available to its subscriber base at an extremely affordable price. The equipment consists of a 17" dish and a small receiver box that is specifically engineered to receive a package of 7 channels and up to an additional 161 channels from the selected KU band satellite from which the company downlinks its signal. "Direct Connect" allows the company to immediately broadcast its uncensored signal throughout both the United States and Canada.
Olsen stated that, "Currently, we are continuing with the distribution of TTN on Telstar 7 Transponder 1. Additionally, our negotiations with cable providers and ECHOSTAR/ The Dish Network are ongoing. The mainstream broadcast cable and satellite providers have shown a propensity to move slowly in their ability to make decisions when faced with the sensitive nature and challenges surrounding the broadcast of gay and lesbian programming."
Olsen went on to state, "In the near future, TTN will begin to offer "Direct Connect" satellite kits that will allow households and businesses to receive both TTN and an additional package of 6 channels that we will control. These additional 6 channels will allow us to offer our subscriber base a variety of unique content and programming not available through mainstream television distribution. We are currently negotiating with several program providers and network developers to use the additional package of 6 channels available on our exclusive distribution vehicle as their source of distribution. By packaging the other channels with TTN, we have created additional revenue and profit centers. As we secure the details on the channel line-up, we will post the information."
"Direct Connect" will allow our subscribers the convenience and choice to only purchase TTN. This distribution plan eliminates our customers from having to sign up for the more expensive monthly premium packages offered by the mainstream digital cable or satellite systems in order to receive TTN. We project the per unit cost for the "Direct Connect" equipment to be less than $150, with most of this expense offset through rebates and subscriber program discounts.
Broadcasting the Triangle Television Network using "Direct Connect" will speed up the availability of TTN to you, which makes good cents.
Safe Harbor Statement As a cautionary note to investors, certain matters discussed in this press release may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such matters involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including the following: changes in economic conditions; general competitive factors; Triangle Multi-Media Limited Inc.'s ability to execute its business model and strategic plans; and the risks described from time to time in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Message from Frank Olsen:
I want to address the issue related to the sudden dwindling of the QBID stock share price since Friday 9/21/01. On September 19, 2001, one of our shareholders converted a block of Preferred stock to common stock. This conversion was for approximately 21,000,000 shares of common stock that we were assured would NOT flood the market. As a company, we had no choice but to honor the stockholder’s request. It was the shareholder’s right to convert the shares and he filed the necessary paperwork with the appropriate agencies.
It is the companies’ understanding that these converted common shares are now being sold due to a sudden financial emergency and that once this emergency is resolved the individual will stop liquidating the stock. The company is working to set-up a group of buyers to start purchasing the stock at the current share price levels.
I have received numerous letters, e-mails and phone calls placing the blame on various individuals, including people who originally owned stock in Integrated Healthcare, for the sudden drop in our share price. I don’t think this is a “Blame Game”. It is the reality of a publicly traded company and I am positive we can work through this sudden turn of events.

A letter from Frank Olsen:
The following information is provided as a report regarding the TTN Subscribe-a-thon on Sunday August 19, 2001. Additionally, I have provided answers to questions I have received lately, via e-mai, regarding Founding Sponsors.
As I have stated numerous times in the past, the principal investors and the key players with both Triangle Multi-Media Limited, Inc and the Triangle Television Network are deeply committed to the LONG-TERM success of the companies. We do not ever make decisions that will provide short-term benefits for people with their own agenda at the expense of the LONG-TERM success of the companies. We have been pursuing the launch and broadcast of TTN for many years and we will do everything we can to build a company that has a stable, LONG-TERM future. Sometimes, I have to make decisions that may not be accepted or understood by both shareholders and people not involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. However, I can ensure you that everything we do is centered on bringing LONG-TERM value to the shareholders, the employees, our subscribers and the principal investors.
1. Founding Sponsors:
We have signed contracts with 3 companies and we are in negotiations with 33 different Fortune 500 companies. We are currently refining contracts with 8 companies. As we add on founding sponsors and as we begin serious discussion with prospective sponsors, it is important to understand the variables involved in meeting the needs of both TTN and the sponsors.
a. TTN is a brand new network that is scheduled for launch on Sept 5 and all of the companies we are working with walk carefully when they are making a commitment to a new network. Additionally, TTN is offering programming that has never been offered before and each of these companies wants to ensure that the relationship and the announcement of being a founding sponsor is handled at a pace which is best for the sponsor. Being that TTN is not on-air yet, all of the companies we are working with are not prepared to pre-announce their affiliation with TTN; thereby, leaving the agreed upon advertisement campaign to people’s imagination and conjecture before the ads are even available for viewing. A vast majority of all advertising commitments made by Fortune 500 companies are rarely pre-announced before airing and they certainly are not going to change their approach for TTN.
b. If we were in a different climate where I could tell shareholders information and feel comfortable that they would not abuse the information then I could be more forthcoming with information on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I cannot do that.
We have recently announced two separate relationships TTN has formed with an advertising agency and with a production company. We are very grateful to have completed arrangements with both of these entities. As soon as we announce the agreement of services with the ad agency, the gentleman running the company gets beat-up on “Raging Bull” and he receives faxes and phone calls from certain parties that love to criticize us. He is told what ”########” we are and how horrible we are. He is criticized for his web site and told that his company must be desperate to take on TTN. A very similar pattern has occurred with the production company we have contracted with.
So for the LONG-TERM good of the company and shareholders, I have made the decision that all founding sponsors and advertisers will not be announced publicly by TTN at this time. If you are a subscriber to the network, you will be able to learn who our sponsors are; or, if the founding sponsor is so inclined, then they will announce the relationship with TTN.
2. Subscribe-a-thon
I was very disappointed with the quality of the Internet feed. We heard from many of our web cast viewers that the video and the audio were jumpy. We ALL learned why it is that live video feeds on the Internet are not the distribution mechanism of choice for the broadcast community. The feed looked wonderful in the studio and our on-air feed looked very good considering the amount of bandwidth we allotted for the broadcast. Obviously, web casting is just not the same thing as satellite distribution. We are extremely limited to what we control, such as the viewers ISP and bandwidth, the streaming companies capacity, traffic on the Internet and a host of other variables.
Our arrangement with Spotlife.com was to allow for 2,500 simultaneous streaming feeds. About 10 minutes into the web-cast our capacity was reached. As many of you experienced, when you tried to view the web cast the system would notify you of a capacity limitation. We did not expect this overwhelming participation. The TTN website received over 42,000 hits with an average time for each visit of 18 minutes. On Sunday, we received 197 requests for a subscription to TTN. On Monday, we received 248 additional subscriber requests. All this is on top of the 19,000 names we have of individuals who want to subscribe to TTN as a result of previous marketing and promotion efforts by TTN.
We did receive hundreds of e-mails from viewers of the subscribe-a-thon that appreciated the content and the variety of the programming we offered. Many e-mails confirmed my beliefs of the strong need for gay-TV. In just a three-hour period, we presented a glimpse of TTN through gay interviews, gay sports, a gay series, gay themed movies, gay icons, gay church service and more. This shows the variety and the power of what gay-TV will be on TTN.
The overwhelming response we received for the Triangle Television Network Subscrib-a-thon is another strong piece of evidence that validates our belief that the marketplace is ready for gay and lesbian television.

I do not and will not post on RB. Raging Bull is just that with lots of BULLS&^T.
It is the only place that will allow that kind of nonsense to happen. You will NEVER see that on any other public forum.
IMO we will see more PR's as we get close to launch and don't forget that Sunday 8/19/01 is the Subcribe-A_Thon. They will anounce sponsors as well. This will be a LIVE webcast.

Company Overview
The Triangle Television Network (the 'Company' or 'TTN') was organized to create
and develop a network devoted to providing both television and radio programming
for the gay and lesbian community. While TTN expects much of its subscriber base
will be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also
believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed
to entertain, educate and inform, will attract many other segments of the
viewing public.
In order to achieve these goals, contracts have been negotiated with a national
satellite provider to distribute TTN's programming, on a subscription basis, no
later than September 5, 2001. The Triangle Television Network will broadcast 24
hours per day, 7 days per week. Providing distribution via satellite ensures
availability of the Triangle Television Network across the United States,
including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
TTN is developing strategic partnerships with program providers and advertisers
in order to provide quality programming while generating strong loyalty from our
subscriber base. The Company has received oral and written commitments from a
number of entities and individuals pertaining to, (i) providing advertising on
behalf of the Company, and (ii) licensing feature films to the Company as part
of the Company's process of acquiring and producing programming at favorable
rates.

The key phrase is DIGITAL CABLE CHANNEL SYSTEMS .
Apparently all the cable systems are now offering this digital package. The digital setup opens the customer to more channels. It is these new channels that the cable companies are looking to fill. I believe this has opened the door for triangle to not only use DISH and other satellite providers but also start broadcasting on the new digital services provided by local cable companies.

Providing distribution via satellite ensures availability of the Triangle Multi-Media network across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
The Company’s Market
The gay and lesbian population offers one of the most attractive demographic targets in the United States. The gay and lesbian community is highly educated, has a household income over 60% higher than the average American household and tends to have a much higher level of disposable income than the national average. Additionally, this niche group is disenfranchised from American society and effectively overlooked by mass marketing mediums. Occasionally, a gay character will spring into the spotlight of the mainstream media; however, those are few and far between (one of the most recent examples being the NBC program Will & Grace which features a gay man sharing a home with a straight female). The fact major networks and cable channels are beginning to offer programming and characters based on the gay and lesbian experience provides justification for the increased acceptance of gay and lesbian programming.
The gay and lesbian community has over $514 BILLION dollars in annual disposable income – a number simply too big to ignore. And, this estimated value does not include the ancillary market—friends of gays, parents, children of gays, and more. The value of this audience is overwhelming. To quote Simmons Market Research Gay & Lesbian Market Study (1997), “respondents are well-educated, affluent, sophisticated customers who show loyalty to advertisers willing to take the risk of marketing to them. Overlooking these individuals in any effort to cultivate a new consumer could mean the difference between profit and loss and it validates the value and purchasing power of gay and lesbian consumers compared to the general population.”
Distribution & Programming
The TTN viewing audience will have to subscribe to both TTN and the satellite provider in order to receive our programming. By having a subscription requirement as part of the distribution vehicle available through both satellite and digital cable (versus analog), TTN has effectively provided a “double-lockout” situation for the general public. Additionally, there is a program lock-out function generated by the satellite provider that acts as a third level of screening for people not interested in viewing TTN. Both the programming and advertising standards for the Triangle Television Network will always adhere to the National Association of Broadcasting requirements
The Triangle Television Network’s programming schedule will include movies, sitcoms, game shows, documentaries, news, finance, news magazines, travel, cooking and much more. Films and movies will air midday and overnight with serials being aired in primetime (6-9pm PST). We will be showcasing gay and lesbian films, entertainment programs and weekly serials from around the world. Our news and news magazine programs will cover world affairs, politics, festivals, local news and events throughout the United States and many other topics; all of which may have a slightly different twist when taken from the gay and lesbian perspective.
Revenues - Advertising, Retail Sales, Monthly Residues
The Founding Sponsors Promotional Package is a one-year package that encourages major advertisers to formalize their commitment in supporting the alternative marketplace. The Founding Sponsor program allows companies to dollar cost average their advertising dollars budgeted for the gay and lesbian market. In addition to extensive commercial and sponsorship exposure time on our television and radio network, all founding sponsors will have a significant presence in the TTN Programming Guide. Additionally, our founding sponsors will receive placement and recognition on our Internet web site, all TTN sponsored events, promotions and print placement To date some big names are rumored to be signing up for the founding sponsors promotion.
Showcase Sponsors – Advertisement sold on time, not including Founding Sponsors. Programming such as movies, sitcoms, plays and religious services will be broadcast uninterrupted. Based on our programming guidelines and founding sponsor requirements, TTN will have 2,167 minutes of ad time available monthly under our Showcase Sponsor program. The following annual average rate per minute applies

MORE "QBID" INFO
Why Gay TV
We are living in a time when subject specific, niche content is found everywhere. It can be found on the magazine rack, television, radio, newspapers, the Internet and more. When you open up your TV guide today, it looks like a magazine stand. There are channels for food, sci-fi, gardening, golf, animals, history, politics, news, movies, sports and much, much more.
These channels are dedicated to niche marketing; and, of course, this is wonderful for the advertiser. The advertiser on the food channel knows that if he is advertising a food item the viewer is interested in food. The garden channel is a wonderful place to advertise fertilizer. The golf channel sells golf clubs.
Twenty national channels and 176 local channels are serving over 35 million Spanish-speaking people in the United States. When advertisers market their product or service on the Spanish channel, they talk to the viewers in their own language. Spanish speaking people do the advertising, so Spanish speaking people feel at home when watching a Spanish channel.
And, now we have the Triangle Television Network (TTN). It is the gay and lesbian channel. With a population estimated at 8-15% of the U.S. population or approximately between 21-40 million people, this enormous market is, in many ways unseen; and, at least by the mass marketing vehicles, untapped. This demographic group is an affluent and valuable consumer market.
Even though TTN is clearly a niche channel, it also brings a new dynamic to the table. The gay and lesbian community is not a niche market solely because it is made up of people that like to garden, cook or play golf. These individuals are a niche market that is gay and lesbian 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Gay and lesbian people live a life that encompasses all aspects of everyday living.
Gay and lesbian individuals are doctors, lawyers, moms, dads, next-door neighbors, teachers, actors and more. Gay and lesbian people are part of every professional and socio-economic group in America. They are Laker fans and Packer fans.
When an advertiser markets on the Triangle Television Network, the gay and lesbian channel, the viewer knows that company is gay-friendly. The TTN viewer knows he or she is welcomed and accepted at Joe’s Muffler Shop, or that particular automobile showroom, or that particular event. When the TTN viewer sees a particular brand of toothpaste or beverage advertised on the Triangle Television Network, the individual then knows that particular company is thanking the gay and lesbian community for their business, and it is recognizing the community as future consumers or customers.
TTN will embrace the energy of the untapped gay and lesbian market—a market that comprises wide ranging needs, interests and spending power. The Triangle Television Network will meet many of the needs for today’s gay and lesbian community; vital people who are interested in a variety of programming that can enrich their lives.
According to Packaged Facts, the average gay person expends more annually for travel, entertainment, reading and education than any other demographic group in America. In addition, due to the increased awareness of the gay and lesbian community, a growing number of mainstream American companies are marketing to the gay consumer. These companies include such stalwarts as: IBM, United Airlines, American Express, Miller Beer, State Farm Insurance and Harley-Davidson Motorcycles to name a few. TTN offers advertisers the first mass marketing vehicle to market their product, service or event.
In general, it is accepted that people will select products and/or services that best reflect what they want to be or what they want to have in their lives—the gay community is no different. The gay community has shown an unbelievable propensity to support advertisers who speak directly to them. Packaged Facts (June 2000) reports that 72% of gay and lesbian consumers prefer to buy from companies that advertise in the gay and lesbian media and 87% will remain loyal to these companies.
Gay and lesbian individuals will be watching gay sitcoms, gay game shows, gay news, romance gay and lesbian style, and jokes gay and lesbian style on TTN. What about Jeopardy; gay and lesbian style?
The Triangle Television Network’s programming schedule will include gay news and news magazine shows, gay movies, gay sitcoms, gay game shows, documentaries, gay financial news, travel, cooking and much more. We will be showcasing gay and lesbian films, entertainment programs and weekly serials from around the world. Our news and news magazine programs will cover gay world affairs, politics, gay festivals, local news and gay events throughout the United States.
The Triangle Television Network is a channel the gay and lesbian community can proudly call their own. The gay and lesbian channel is a premium channel at $19.95 per month. Over the last 12 months, TTN has had numerous discussions with individuals and groups within the gay and lesbian community, and we have not had a single complaint about the subscription fee. The overwhelming consensus is that if TTN produces quality programming, focused on entertaining, educating and informing people, then the support for TTN will be enormous.
Triangle Television Network is a hit, and we are not even on the air yet.
