Medavinci was previously an investor in a group of portfolio companies focussed on innovative technologies, products and services within the Health and Wellness markets. However, as highlighted in the circular to shareholders dated 9 August 2010, the Company has recently re-focussed its investment strategy to one focused on companies involved in mineral exploration and production in Europe.
The company has re-focused the investment strategy of the company to one focused on companies involved in mineral exploration and production in Europe. As part of this re-focus the company successfully raised 842,042 in August 2010 and made an investment in Orogen Gold Limited in return for a 49% shareholding.

Orogen Gold Limited (Orogen Gold)
In August 2010, the Company invested 370,000 in Orogen Gold Limited for a 49% interest in the enlarged issued share capital. Orogen Gold is an Irish company incorporated in April 2010 for the purpose of holding investments in companies involved in mineral exploration and related activities. Its initial focus will be on the Deli Jovan Gold Project, a 69 sq km permit area in eastern Serbia covering two shallow underground gold mines that were last in production pre World War II. Under an Earn-in Agreement with TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) listed Reservoir Capital Corporation, Orogen Gold has the right to an initial 55% interest in the Deli Jovan Gold Project, if it spends a minimum of approximately US$1.5 million on exploration by June 2012, and a further interest of 20% will be obtained upon an additional spend of approximately US$2 million by December 2013, giving Orogen Gold an aggregate interest in 75% of the Deli Jovan Gold Project.

Post from the other side who attended the meeting courtesy of apavlovic

All,

I have attended the meeting this morning and was unfortunately the only private share holder to do so. There were several people form MVC, NOMAD, brokers etc.

As you know all resolutions proposed by the company were passed without any objections.

In addition to the info you already know I have picked up the following:

Obviously top priority for the company is Gindusa and Ruslan mines.
They have received forrestry permit this morning. They have a very good network in Serbia and I have spoken to John Barry from Orogen regarding their future plans.

As you know they are targeting 100k oz and undertaking detailed structural mapping,

He said it would not be cost effective at this stage to go beyond the 100k planned. Target is 10g per tonne and current prices break even is around 3 4g per tonne.

Grades are excellent and made the point that this mining operation is about quality V.s quantity. It is about mining selectively, narrow corridors under ground. There is of course potential for wider widths and this will be looked into later. Key now is to mine @500T/day.

I have a very good feeling about this project because I know form the local contacts who cannot see this not going commercial. John Barry said that this project is ideally suited for a smaller company like them and would never be cost effective for a large company. Therefore keep in prospective some of the press reports about a world class mine etc. need to keep this into context. It is not going to be BOR which is next door, different ball game.

I think what they have going here is the local expertise. Some of the names of the geologists like Alex Obrenovic and couple of others who have local expertise. Alexs father used to work in the ministry so obviously well networked. For that matter so am I and can confirm that I do not see any corruption or delays which is something typically to be expected in Eastern Europe not to mention some other countries. Western companies in particular are very welcome in Serbia and the board have absolutely confirmed that. They were able to meet with the minister of mining at short notice and in some countries that would take ages. Been very welcomed!

Do not underestimate local expertise in Serbia and their geologists. A lot of work was done my Serbians abroad in particular countries like Mozambique (see BAO) board. Therefore the costs structure using locals will be in our favour. I should also mention and they agreed that that this mine was ignored previously ignored for political reasons. Gold was associated with Capitalism!!!

Where do we go from here? Mine has not been accessed due to adverse weather conditions being winter time. They have received approvals to do so now and are planning a trip there over the next couple of weeks when snow melt will start. They are flying in a Spanish named geologist to assess the Health ands Safety aspect before any work can be undertaken eg sampling. As you all know the mine was abounded due to water problems and we do not understand the extent of that issue now. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can comment on this and to me this is my only worry at present (unknown).

John is a very knowledgeable guy and very approachable and pleasant person. I will drop him an e mail and keep in touch and offered to help them. We had a little banter when I told him about my background so hopefully we can build a little rapport. I am gong there hopefully for Easter holidays and will of course go there to visit and take a few photos liasie with guys and see what else I can find out.

Must not forget about future plans. They confirmed they are in talks and looking at new projects. He hinted in advance talks on some but do not expect RNS in the near future. They are looking at new projects in mining further east. Hopefully not Uzbekistan.

There is clearly lots of opportunity for them. I am very comfortable with John but be frank not sure about the others and their knowledge. Got an impression they are new to this all.

Not sure what everyone expects on Monday but apart fro a change of ticker and a new web site. That is all from me and if any questions please ask. I felt a bit funny being the only one to ask anything so did not want to hijack the meeting and left after being there for 35 mins.

Hopefully wil get sme press exposure in Serbia because so far there has been none and for a very valid reason. Why advertise medavinci.

For the record I post as Sasa on iii but mainly on MSB board although we do not have at thread (yet)
