    YEREVAN, MARCH 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The implementation of the programs
    of Unireso insurance company and Gegamet mining company proceeds
    according to the schedule. Responding to NT correspondent's questions,
    the Director of the programs' initiator Uniinvest company, Chairman
    of the Board of Unibank (Armenia) and Chairman of the bank's founder
    Uniastrum Bank (Russia) Gagik Zakarian said that Unireso will start
    functioning soon.

    In his words, everything is ready for Unireso's work, and 2 million
    dollars has been invested. The major programs and the conditions of
    service provision by their company are now being developed.

    It was mentioned that in the initial period Unireso will be engaged
    in insurance of cars, real estate and equipment, and it also plans
    to provide life and health insurance services starting from 2010.

    G. Zakarian said that about 30% of equipment for Gegamet has been
    purchased.

    Mining work and the plant to be built are now being designed, and
    the licences and permissions necessary for the company's activity
    are being received from the respective Armenian bodies.

    "I think that the operation of the mine and construction of the plant
    will begin in the summer of 2009," he noted.

    To recap, in November 2008 it was announced that the indicated programs
    would be launched.

    G. Zakarian and the founder of Reso-Garantia insurance company (Russia)
    Sergei Sarkisov are the founders of Unireso. According to G. Zakarian,
    it is envisaged increasing Unireso's authorized capital to 10 million
    dollars in the next 2-3 years.

    The cost of Gegamet invetsment program makes 25 million dollars. It
    is being jointly implemented by Uniastrum Bank, Unibank, Metta Group
    (Armenia) and Torront Holdings Limited (Great Britain). The investment
    project includes operation of iron-chromium mines in Shorzha and Jil,
    construction of an ore mining and processing enterprise, as well as
    of a fire-brick plant with an annual capacity of 20 million bricks a
    year, a plant for cement additives (with an annual capacity of 150
    thousand tons), a chromium concentrate plant (with a capacity of
    50 thousand tons), and an iron chromium plant (with a capacity of
    20 thousand tons). G. Zakarian considered it possible that gold and
    platinum will be extracted from ores of the mines. It is planned to
    create 500 jobs as a result of implementation of Gegamet's programs.
