    FORTRESS MINERALS CORP. Suite #2101, 885 W. Georgia Street Vancouver, B.C. V6C 3E8 Ph. (604) 689-7842 www.fortressminerals.com NEWS RELEASE FORTRESS INTERCEPTS 474.7 METRES OF CONTINUOUS COPPER AND GOLD MINERALIZATION AT THE MALMYZH PROJECT IN EASTERN RUSSIA March 17, 2010 (FST-TSXV) Fortress Minerals Corp. (“Fortress”) is pleased to announce initial assay results from the phase 1 drilling program at its 74-square kilometre Malmyzh Project in eastern Russia. The phase 1 drill program, which is planned to include 5,200 metres of drilling in 26 holes, will test ten large geophysical and geochemical targets. The first four diamond drill holes totalling 1,311 metres, reported herein, were drilled to test the Flats target, where an earlier drill hole by Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation ("FMEC") intersected 195.6 metres grading 0.39% copper and 0.29 gram/tonne (g/t) gold (see Press Release dated September 29, 2009). All four drill holes encountered significant mineralization from the collar to the bottom of the hole. Hole AMM-002 intersected 474.7 metres grading 0.26% copper and 0.29 g/t gold. The first five holes into the Flats target are wide spaced and have tested an area about 400 metres by 200 metres (please see figure 3). Mineralization is open in all directions and at depth. Results are shown in the table below.

The canaliculatus species group of Stenus (Nestus) is redefi ned. Four new Palaearctic species of the group are described and illustrated: S. (N.) alopex sp. nov. from the Putorana Highland and Taymyr Peninsula, Russia; S. (N.) canalis sp. nov. from SE Siberia and the Russian Far East; S. (N.) canosus sp. nov. from the Narat Mt Ridge, Chinese Tien Shan; S. (N.) delitor sp. nov. from C & SE Siberia. New distributional data as well as brief analyses of old records for fourteen species described earlier are provided from both Palaearctic and Nearctic material. S. (N.) milleporus Casey, 1884 (= sectilifer Casey, 1884) is revalidated as a species propria. S. (N.) sphaerops Casey, 1884 is redescribed; its aedeagus is fi gured for the fi rst time; the aedeagus of S. (N.) caseyi Puthz, 1972 as well as aedeagi of eight previously described Palaearctic species are illustrated anew. A key for the identifi cation of all the known Palaearctic species of the group is given.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.

Sheremet’eva* Khabarovsk State Institute of Culture Khabarovsk, Russian Federation Received 26.03.2021, received in revised form 16.04.2021, accepted 21.05.2021 Abstract. The paper focuses on various activities of cultural institutions operating in the territory of the region. The methodological basis of the research is L. V. Nikiforova’s cultural expertise based on systematisation of the categories of «places» of cultural space. The paper is a preparatory stage of cultural expertise, which aims to thoroughly analyse the network of cultural institutions in general and to identify potential art- spaces for further detailed study. It provides a detailed analysis of the network of cultural institutions in Khabarovsk and an overview of the categories of cultural institutions in the administrative centers of all districts in the Khabarovsk territory. The source base of the study is the data obtained from the analysis of websites of cultural institutions, social networks, as well as the respondents’ personal surveys. Cultural institutions representing different forms of cultural activity have been roughly divided into ten groups. The result of the research is a perspective to identify institutions the activities of which can be evaluated in terms of belonging to the art-space format.

    FAR EASTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT Investment Projects Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in the United States of America FEFD: Investment Projects FAR EASTERN FEDERAL DISTRICT Territory - 6215,9 thousand sq.km Population - 6 440 400 people Administrative center - Khabarovsk Basic economic sectors - mining and gold mining industries, fishing industry, forestry and wood industry, non-ferrous metallurgy, shipbuilding industry Official web-sites - http://dfo.gov.ru/, http://minvostokrazvitia.ru/ 2 FEFD: Investment Projects 3 FEFD: Investment Projects ECONOMY Development of the Far East Region (including economic development) was historically associated with a defining role of the state. The Far East Region has great geopolitical importance, not only providing the economy with the resources, but also acting as a guarantor of national safety. That is why development of the Eastern territories was always based on the principles of paternalism that was the only possible way of forming permanent population at the Far East. The state has also invested a significant amount of money in the development of regional industry, transport infrastructure and cities’ constructions. Today major investment projects at the Far East are being executed with a special attention of the President of the Russian Federation and the Government. In the nearest future about 3 trillion rubles will be invested in the economy of the Far East Federal District on the basis of public-private partnership. And that is not the limit – till 2025 the investment portfolio of the region offers for realization major projects with the estimated cost of 9 trillion rubles. These numbers are incorporated in the “Strategy of the Social- Economic Development of the Far East and Baikal Regions till 2025”, which was approved by the President and the Government of the Russian Federation.

    Saving Russia’s Far Eastern Taiga: Deforestation, Protected Areas, and Forests ‘Hotspots’ II. Khabarovsk Region This region includes both Khabarovsk krai and Jewish Autonomous region. In the overview of the region, however, information on Jewish Autonomous oblast has been omitted but information on protected areas and forest hotspots is included. Overview of the Region Josh Newell Location Center of the Russian Far East (RFE), extending 1,800 km. Along the Tatar Strait and Sea of Okhotsk. Size Khabarovsk Krai alone is one and half-times larger than France: 790,000 sq.km. Climate Winters are cold and dry. Summers are hot and wet, particularly in the south. Temperatures in the south average -21C in January and 21C in July. Geography and Ecology Because Khabarovsk Krai extends a great distance north to south, it has a wide diversity of plant and animal species. Travelling down the northern part of the Krai, one first meets tundra and high, rocky mountain landscapes (gol'tsi in Russian) with lichens. Further south one finds thin larch forests interspersed with dwarf siberian pine and then larger larch forests (which cover 15% of the north) with grass, small marshes, and meadows. Most of the region lacks roads and is therefore largely inaccesible. The towns are along the coast. Population density is low. The central part of the krai includes the lower basin of the Amur River valley, one of the world's largest river basins, whose headwaters begin in Chita region and China. Here, in the broad Amur Valley, the region and its forests are influenced by the monsoon climate.
