"AmLib was established in 2000 to explore for gold in Liberia, West Africa. Liberia is a highly mineralized but underexplored country in an established mining region. AmLib’s standard exploration process is designed to identify those areas of drilling most likely to yield the best results. Once there is a critical mass of exploration data, the exploration cycle leads on to production. AmLib’s exploration strategy is focused on gold. AmLib aims to explore for gold in Liberia, complete development of its several gold properties, and become the largest gold producer in the country. It is AmLib’s mission to create value for its shareholders by proving a multi-million ounce resource amongst its several properties, mine those resources, and pay dividends. The directors and officers of AmLib have a long-term commitment to the company and Liberia.

"In 2005, Repsol YPF was awarded exploration and development rights on Block 16 of the country's territorial waters in the first international tender organized by the Liberian Government. In the summer of 2004, via direct negotiation, Repsol YPF had been awarded rights to Block 17, adjacent to Block 16 and bordering on blocks 6 and 7, previously awarded in Sierra Leone's territorial waters. Since the concession of the two blocks is pending ratification by the Liberian Parliament, these were not included in the company's official mining rights at 31 December 2006. "
