THE OFFER

On 3 November 2005, Lewis Charles Securities Limited made an offer (the "Offer")
on behalf of IB Daiwa Corporation ("IB Daiwa") for the entire issued share
capital of Lodore Resources Inc ("Lodore") which was recommended by the Lodore
Independent Directors.

OFFER WHOLLY UNCONDITIONAL

On 7 November 2005 IB Daiwa declared the Offer unconditional as to acceptances.

As of 22 November 2005 IB Daiwa has received valid acceptances in respect of
557,611.983 Lodore Shares (representing 84.51 per cent of the issued share
capital of Lodore).

All of the remaining conditions of the Offer have now been satisfied or waived
and accordingly IB Daiwa is pleased to announce that the Offer is declared
unconditional in all respects.

The Directors of IB Daiwa will, on 28 November 2005, resolve to allot and apply
to JASDAQ for admission of the Offer Shares to be issued in respect of those
acceptances received on or before 1.00pm Thursday 24 November 2005 under the
Offer to be admitted to trading on JASDAQ on 15 December 2005.

CANCELLATION OF ADMISSION TO AIM

As stated in the Offer Document, it is IB Daiwa's intention to procure that
Lodore will apply for cancellation of the admission of the Lodore Shares to AIM
and the cessation of trading of Lodore Shares on AIM. It is expected that the
cancellation of admission and trading will take effect on 21 December 2005 being
not less than 20 business days following this announcement.

Accordingly, so that those holders of Lodore Shares that have not accepted the
Offer may do so, the directors of IB Daiwa have agreed to keep the Offer open
for those shareholders until the 1pm Thursday 8th December 2005 and the Offer
will close on this date (unless extended by IB Daiwa).
