DETAILED RESEARCH AT THE TOMTEBO MINE IN SWEDEN UNCOVERS UN-MINED HISTORICAL MINERAL RESOURCE 

• Between 1836 and 1837, 1,841 tons of copper and 1,077 tons of sulphur were produced. The copper content of the ore varied from 3.0% to 5.3% between the years 1915 and 1919; and - - The average ore grade during the last phase of mining, between 1965 and 1969, was about 1% copper, 1% zinc and 35% sulphur. Copper concentrate produced contained on average 140 g/t Ag and 9 g/t Au

• A report (non NI43-101 compliant) written by Birger Hellegren in 1983 details un-mined resources between the surface and the 200m level estimated at 385,000 tonnes grading 0.67% Cu, 1.84% Pb, 3.72% Zn, 0.66 g/t gold and 55 g/t Ag

• Tumi completed an airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey in 2006 and an induced polarization (IP) survey in 2007 covering an area of 1,000m by 800m which detected several previously unknown anomalies with high chargeability and low resistivity

• With the discovery of this historical resource the Company will undertake a drill program on these anomalies as soon as capital can be raised

Says David Henstridge, President & CEO: “there have been discussions recently in Sweden over the possibility of building a central processing plant for base metal ores known in the Bergslagen district. The Tomtebo resource may well be an important immediate source of ore should this plant be built, and hence the Company will continue to work towards holding this area for the long term”

View Tumi's Press Release

Dear Friends:

Once the funds are raised and with previously approved drill permits in place Tumi will be able to look forward to excellent 2010 fall and 2011 exploration seasons.  So, - - bring on the drills ASAP!

As always - - - Stay Tuned!!

MarketWatch : Personal Finance Daily :Palliative care does not mean 'death panel'. August 31st. 2010

Personal Finance Daily

AUGUST 31, 2010

Tuesday's Personal Finance stories

By MarketWatch

Don't miss these top stories:

• Why you should care about palliative care
• U.S. home prices rose 1% in June
• Concussions send more kids to hospital
• The death of equities may be exaggerated

What, exactly, is a "death panel?" I'm not entirely sure, though I'm fairly certain some readers will be happy to tell me with great alacrity. Here's what I do know: palliative care, in which doctors and other experts talk with patients about what treatment path they want to take, and what their future with their disease might look like, and about how they plan to talk with family and friends about their illness, does not mean "death panel," though some have implied these types of conversations are one and the same.

Probably palliative care is what many doctors, when they entered the profession, planned to do as part of their regular counseling when working with seriously ill patients. But things don't always work out as planned, and doctors these days, for myriad reasons, may be too rushed, or too focused on ridding their patients' body of the disease, to really focus on the bigger picture of that person's life.

But one new study finds that when palliative care is part of an overall course of treatment, patients live longer -- and they live longer with a higher quality of life. Read Kristen Gerencher's Vital Signs column today to find out more.

What sometimes got lost in all the debate over death panels is that sometimes very ill people, and their families, really do want help figuring out the best way to prepare for the inevitable.

-- Andrea Coombes , Personal Finance editor

Why you should care about palliative care

For many patients facing a serious illness, the last thing on their minds is decoding what the phrase "palliative care" actually means, let alone asking for it in their moment of need.
See Kristen Gerencher's Vital Signs on why you should care about palliative care.

Kids' emergency-room visits double over 10 years

With your body moving and your spirit soaring, playing sports can be exhilarating and even health-promoting, especially when you're a child. But it's not without risk, and head injuries are among the biggest threats.
See Kristen Gerencher's Health Matters Blog.

INVESTING

Death of equities may be exaggerated

Reports of investors fleeing the stock market may have been overstated. In fact, rather than leaving stocks behind, evidence suggests that investors are ditching U.S. stock mutual-fund managers and putting money into index funds that track established U.S. stock benchmarks as well as international stock funds.
See FundWatch on death of equities may be exaggerated.

REAL ESTATE

U.S. home prices rose 1% in June

Home prices rose 1.0% in June compared with May in 20 major U.S. cities, according to the Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday by Standard & Poor's.

The Washington Post Breaking News : Afghanistan's Central Bank takes control of top private bank. August 31st., 2010

Breaking News Alert: Afghanistan's Central Bank takes control of top private bank August 31, 2010 ----------------------------------------

Afghanistan's Central Bank has taken control of the Kabul Bank, which is partly owned by President Hamid Karzai's brother and has been beset by corruption allegations. The intervention aims to shore up Afghanistan’s largest private bank, whose faltering finances threatened to wreak both economic and political havoc.

Kabul Bank handles salary payments for Afghan soldiers, police and teachers, and has taken in more than $1 billion in deposits from ordinary Afghans. U.S. officials have long worried that trouble at the bank could trigger financial mayhem, a prospect that would leave Afghan security forces without pay, threaten unrest by angry -- and often armed -- depositors, and gravely undermine President Obama's entire Afghan strategy.

The Central Bank has also ordered Kabul Bank's chairman to hand over $160 million worth of luxury villas and other property purchased in Dubai for well-connected insiders, according to Afghan bankers and officials.
