European Consortium Gets Go Ahead to Strengthen The Future of Communication Networks - Six Key Technology Partners from UK, Finland and Israel, includes Ethos Networks - Israel, 28 May 2008: The ETNA European consortium (Ethernet Transport Networks Architectures of Networking), which is comprised of leading European technology companies and universities has announced that it has received approval from the European Commission to execute the proposed ETNA project which will analyse, design and validate future metro and core networks based on Ethernet technology.

The goal of ETNA is to propose a model architecture for a low cost pan-European Ethernet network capable of serving millions of subscribers, providing common, reliable and secure transport infrastructure for different current and future network services. The ETNA project is part of the Seventh EU Framework Program (FP7) and started on 01/01/2008. The two year project is expected to end by 31/12/2009.

Arctic Star Diamond Corp.: Massive Sulphides From First Exploration Drill Hole Return Nickel, Copper and Cobalt at Credit Lake, Providence Lake Greenstone Belt NT

Arctic Star Diamond Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADD) (\"Arctic Star\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce significant nickel, copper and cobalt assays from its 100% owned new massive sulphide discovery at Credit Lake Northwest Territories (NT).

As reported in the news release dated May 15 2008, at the end of the Credit Lake diamond exploration drill program, the Company drilled a single angled hole (08CR-10) targeting a MaxMin HLEM conductor within the Providence Lake Greenstone (PLG) Belt to investigate the potential for Ni-Cu sulphides near anomalous Ni-Cu soil samples collected in 2007. The PLG belt includes large volumes of mafic and ultramafic rocks, dated as being 2.7 billion years old and includes tholeiitic basalts, komatiites, serpentinized peridotite, and gabbro intrusions. The PLG belt features deep- penetrating faults, sulphur-bearing sediments in the form of sulphide bearing iron-formation and black shales, and massive sulphides.
