Economic Overview

Due to the upheaval in the credit and equity markets and the overall condition of the economy, Grand Central Silver Mines, Inc., financial and legal advisors have advised the Board to postpone the Filing of the Form 10 (a necessary perquisite for becoming a publicly traded company) until market conditions prove to be more favorable. The cost of maintaining a publicly traded company for a non-operating entity is prohibitively expensive especially in today's environment.

As you may know BHP's Billiton $135 billion offer to acquire Rio Tinto was withdrawn late last year due to the market conditions and worldwide a decline in prices for base metals, such as copper. Correspondingly, Rio Tinto, the owner of the Bingham Copper Mine, (adjacent to Grand Central's core assets) has recently announced that it will cut capital expenditures by $5 billion and its worldwide work force by 14,000.

Grand Central Silver Mines, Inc for its part is not immune to these events and has decided to concentrate its activities on reviewing geologic results, reducing debt and marketing its properties. The company's desire to return to the public markets has been postponed until market conditions for Grand Central improve.
