[March 2004] Press Release - For Immediate Release

Ganoksin Content Expansion Announced
----------------------------------------------------

    This has been a terrific year for the 8-year-old Ganoksin Project
    (http://www.ganoksin.com), now the largest educational website for
    jewelers and metalsmiths.  Many hundreds of pages of information are
    added monthly from prestigious authors such as Charles Lewton-Brain,
    Alan Revere, Bradney Simon, Suzanne Wade, Blaine Lewis and Chris
    Corti, to name just a few. Ganoksin and its Orchid discussion group
    have given rise to a community of members who organize well-attended
    dinners, gatherings and fund raising events in conjunction with trade
    shows, conferences and craft shows. In 2003, five major Orchid
    celebrations took place in Tucson, New York, Santa Monica, Las Vegas
    and San Francisco. 

    Due to the devoted efforts of Dr. E. Aspler (Hanuman) and Charles
    Lewton-Brain, Ganoksin has finalized agreements with a number of
    prestigious jewelry publications such as the highly regarded
    American Jewelers Magazine (AJM), Colored Stone magazine, Metalsmith
    magazine (published by the Society of North American Goldsmiths) and
    Glass on Metal magazine, to publish valuable articles and images,
    free to the Ganoksin community. 

    James F. Marquart, President and CEO of MJSA (which publishes AJM),
    commented that, "given AJM's reputation in the industry for
    incisive, authoritative technical and business articles and
    Ganoksin's reputation as one of the industry's pre-eminent online
    resources, this partnership seems only natural; MJSA and AJM are
    dedicated to ensuring jewelers have the knowledge they need to
    remain competitive, and our collaboration with Ganoksin will greatly
    help us to achieve this aim." 

    Further collaborations are underway between AJM and Ganoksin to
    produce a series of useful and informative reference books with
    content harvested from the Orchid Archive and from the Ganoksin.com
    Library. In addition, Ganoksin negotiated this year with two
    distinguished professional organizations, The World Gold Council and
    the Platinum Guild, and both have enthusiastically agreed to add
    their wealth of content to Ganoksin's growing library. 

    Nearly 200,000 visitors log onto Ganoksin.com every month to gain
    access to the free information provided there.  The Orchid
    discussion group has grown to over 5000 members who receive 50-80,
    carefully formatted emails a day, which since 1997 have been
    meticulously archived and indexed.  There is no finer informational
    resource for the jewelry industry than the Ganoksin site and the
    Orchid forum.
