Allied Energy Corporation Reports on Recent Visit to Zambia

PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allied Energy
Corporation (OTC Pink Sheets: AGYP) is pleased to announce that
Company representatives have returned from visiting Zambia, during
which time they inspected prospective tin, tantalite and mica
concessions (mining title and leases) in the area of Choma, Zambia
(collectively, the "Starfield Mine"). As previously announced, the
Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with
Starfield Minerals Ltd., for the purpose of acquiring Starfield
itself or its sole asset, being the Starfield Mine. Located in
Southern Africa, the Republic of Zambia is one of the world's
principal tin producers and is extensively resource rich in other
metals and minerals (e.g. copper, tungsten and nickel). Allied
Energy Corporation will focus on the profitable development of the
Starfield Mine; however, the Company intends to aggressively pursue
additional acquisitions complimentary to this initial transaction.
Production at the Starfield Mine is currently conducted by
artisanal workers using hand-labor in open pits and it is
anticipated that extensive production efficiencies and volume
improvement can be achieved using mechanization. Currently it is
anticipated by Starfield Minerals Ltd. that when mining plant and
equipment is installed, production may increase, over time as
implemented, from current nominal levels to potentially 400 tonnes
per month of tin concentrate. Additionally, adjacent sites have
been identified for potential acquisition and exploitation as part
of expanded exploration and development activities. It is
anticipated that most if not all of the current artisanal miners
will be employed in this venture. Production will be delivered to
market via South Africa or Tanzania. During the recent visit,
mining rights were verified. Also, on property surface and pit
samples were taken by a professional mining engineer consulting to
Allied Energy Corporation and such samples have been submitted to
ALS Chemex, a global provider of assay services. Once assay results
have been received, it is anticipated that a report will be
received conforming to National Instrument 43-101 standards, which
compromise the highest standards in North America. Next steps will
depend on this report; however it is currently anticipated such
steps will include digging trenches along perceived veins, of which
Starfield Minerals Ltd. indicates at least 5 have been identified
to date. The trench results will then be assayed and a program of
diamond drilling will follow as appropriate. The results taken as a
whole will allow for the establishment of grade, volume and tonnage
of the deposit and thus the determination of mining economic
feasibility. Tin (Sn) is classified in the group of base metals,
which consist of non- precious metals of great importance and
utilization in the infrastructure of society and industrialization.
Due to its low melting point, tin easily binds to iron (steel),
lead, copper, and zinc, which makes it an important coating
material for the prevention of rusting or oxidation. The main
industries that utilize tin are: food preservation (canned foods),
telecommunications, electric circuits, semiconductors, and
architectural engineering. For the year 2006, the global tin market
was estimated at 360,000 tonnes, which translated into a total
global USD value of approximately $5.5 Billion. This number is
expected to grow significantly due to the rapid modernization and
GDP growth of the large and emerging Asian economies (i.e. China,
India, Indonesia). About Allied Energy Corporation: Allied Energy
Corporation is a publicly traded Company actively seeking a
potential acquisition target within the natural resources sector.
On October 31, 2007 the Company entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding to acquire Starfield Minerals Ltd. or its assets.
Starfield Minerals Ltd. owns a Zambia, Africa based tin and
tantalite deposit (the "Starfield Mine") in the vicinity of Choma,
Republic of Zambia. Forward Looking Statements (SAFE HARBOR): This
