The Company also announced that, following shareholder approval at a special meeting of shareholders held on December 3, 2009, Malbex has moved its governing jurisdiction to Ontario. In addition, the Company's name has been changed from Arapaho Capital Corp. to Malbex Resources Inc. and it now trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MBG.

The change in jurisdiction and name follow the completion of the business combination transaction on October 30, 2009 between Arapaho Capital Corp. and Malbex Resources Inc., a private gold exploration company, by way of a reverse takeover (the "RTO").

Highlights for the year ended September 30, 2009 include:

• A successful first field season at the Company's three gold exploration projects in Argentina's El Indio Gold Belt, including the identification of several promising drill targets at our Del Carmen project. Drill testing of these targets has already commenced as part of the 2009-2010 field program;
• Establishing a first-rate exploration team in Argentina, backed by experienced management, and a strengthened board of directors;
• Closing of two financings by pre-RTO Malbex for gross proceeds of $11.7 million;
• Pro forma working capital of $8.7 million and pro forma cash-on-hand of $8.9 million as at September 30, 2009, taking into account the completion of the RTO.

"With the successful completion of the RTO, we have built a solid base from which to grow the Company," said Tim Warman, President & CEO. "We have an excellent team exploring several great projects, all in a stable, pro-mining jurisdiction. We are grateful for the support of our shareholders over the past year as we established and financed this new company during a challenging economic period."

Mr. Warman added, "The outlook for the next fiscal year is very positive, with a US$6.0 million exploration program underway on our three El Indio Gold Belt projects. Over the long-term, we plan to advance at least one of these projects through discovery to resource definition and pre-feasibility. In addition, we are actively seeking new projects in Argentina and other favourable jurisdictions in South America."
