Inter-Citic Minerals Inc. :: Why We Are Different

	ICI
	As a result of the depth of our Asian and North American based team, the Inter-Citic team operates with the confidence that we are at all times able to demonstrate our value to our partners. Beyond the challenge of finding ways to bridge the numerous and ever present gaps in business culture, there is a more basic and global concept which is fundamental to the long term success of any partnership. This is that both parties must be able to demonstrate their value and commitment to the partnership.

Inter-Citic has been working in China for almost a decade - building relationships, exploring opportunities, making friends.

The People's Republic of China is a land of vast opportunity, yet Inter-Citic has watched as many other companies have come and gone. From the beginning Inter-Citic realized that doing business in The People's Republic of China requires very different skills and attitudes. Inter-Citic's key shareholders are from prominent families that have successfully been doing business in China for generations, including the Hos of Macao's banking world, and the Lees of Hong Kong's Henderson Group. With the assistance of our Asian-based support, Inter-Citic is able to open doors, and create strong relationships and lasting opportunities.

Inter-Citic also treats its Chinese partners with the respect and consideration they deserve. This not only includes true partnerships and fair consideration, but whenever possible Inter-Citic prides itself on being able to transfer valuable knowledge and skills to local partners to create win-win-win situations. A recent example is the recent agreement to bring two modern wire-line diamond drills to China for the Dachang Project. As part of the agreement Inter-Citic pledged to transfer operational expertise and skills to its Chinese partners as quickly as possible.

Something that sets Inter-Citic's projects apart from others is that Inter-Citic has been able to negotiate agreements with major government agencies. For example, Inter-Citic recently obtained from the Beijing Institute of Geology for Mineral Resources, China's only national geological institute, the right of first refusal on any mineral exploration project for which BIGM seeks foreign investment. As well, as part of its Dachang Project Joint Venture Agreement with the Qinghai Geological Survey Institute, Inter-Citic has a right of first refusal on any mineral exploration project for which QGSI seeks foreign investment. Inter-Citic believes in long-term relationships and is pleased to have partners who see value in continuing to do business and bring exciting new opportunities with Inter-Citic.

At home and in China, Inter-Citic has assembled an impressive team of technical and business advisors.

We hope you'll see why we believe Inter-Citic is a different kind of gold exploration and development company, and why that difference is the key to our future success.
