September 18, 2008 - New Asia Gold Corp. (Other OTC:NWAG.PK) welcomes the rush to gold as investors seek a safe haven from the current financial turmoil. Based on independent assessment reports of its gold properties as of July 2008, the company reiterates that it currently has an estimated 330,000 ounces of proven gold reserves with a projected value of $219 million after recovery costs, based on a average price per ounce of $850. There remains significant potential to substantially increase these reserves through a shallow infill drilling program. The independent assessment report suggests that an additional 500,000 ounces of gold could be delineated in the main prospect area.

September 19, 2008 - NovaGold Resources Inc. (Toronto:NG.TO)(NG ) today announced that it has received regulatory authorizations and has begun production at its Rock Creek gold mine near Nome, Alaska. State regulators have approved the start of production, allowing NovaGold to begin fully processing ore and depositing inert tailings material into the Tailings Storage Facility. As part of the start up process under the regulatory authorization from the State of Alaska, NovaGold must complete a number of environmental and operational tasks over the next 15, 30 and 90 days to ensure compliance with environmental requirements for the mine.

The Nome Operations team has been mining and stockpiling ore as part of the commissioning process, and has close to 450,000 tonnes of ore ready, representing approximately 2 months of full throughput. All components of the processing facility have been individually tested and commissioned. Production has begun on site and NovaGold anticipates ramping up throughput levels during the 4th Quarter of 2008.

Upon achieving full commercial production, the Rock Creek mine is expected to produce approximately 100,000 ounces of gold annually with life-of-mine cash costs estimated at approximately US$500 per ounce. At current metal prices, NovaGold anticipates generating $25 to $35 million in cash flow from Rock Creek on a yearly basis.

Market Wrap for September 19, 2008 --

The Dow closed nearly 370 points higher Friday, marking the end of a volatile week. The Dow registered triple-digit swings during each of the week's trading sessions.

Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the government's intervention into the AIG (AIG 3.85, +1.16) debacle earlier in the week, federal agencies stepped up to restore investor confidence.

Some investors were encouraged by a ruling from the Securities Exchange Commission that put a temporary ban on short-selling certain financial stocks.

The financial sector concluded the week with a 7.4% gain.

Investment banks and brokers (+20.8%) registered the largest gain in the sector.

Though the outlook among investors has improved, credit rating agency Moody's remains cautious of financial and market conditions. The firm placed bond insurers Ambac (ABK 3.80, -2.80) and MBIA (MBI 12.88, -1.12) on review for a downgrade.

Nine of the ten economic sectors posted an advance, all trailing the financial sector.

Only consumer staples (-0.4%) finished the session lower. The sector fell out of favor as participants rotated out of traditional safe havens and into riskier plays.

Trading volume was heavy as contracts for stock index futures, stock index options, and stock options expired. Nearly 3 billion shares traded hands on the NYSE. That was the largest volume ever registered on the exchange.

The letter of intent relates to an investment in Morgan Stanley that would eventually reach 20 percent of its equity on a fully diluted basis. The investment would be based on Morgan Stanley's book value as agreed upon completion of satisfactory due diligence. Upon the closing, a representative of MUFG will join the Morgan Stanley board.

In addition to further strengthening the Firm's capital position, this alliance would benefit Morgan Stanley and MUFG by providing each with a valuable strategic partner as it seeks to enhance its global footprint and capture financial services opportunities around the world. Morgan Stanley was granted approval yesterday by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors to become a Federal Bank Holding Company.

The letter of intent is nonbinding and subject to definitive documentation and due diligence. The closing of the transaction would be subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

The Company's common stock to be sold in the proposed private placement transaction will not at the time of issuance be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

September 22, 2008 -- New Asia Gold Corp (Other OTC:NWAG.PK) wishes to announce that data obtained as a result of exploration of the Kapur project through drilling and trenching is complete enough and of excellent quality to show that there are promising smaller deposits on the leases. In the current 43101F independent engineering report, it has been estimated that there are 330,000 proven ounces of gold with a value of $132 million assuming an average value of gold of $600 per ounce, with recovery costs of $200 per ounce. Currently analysts are projecting that gold will reach at least an average of $1000 per ounce over the next 5 years. These reserves are based on the initial drilling program where there was only enough density of data to assign reserves to 3 of 6 zones. In one of the zones that has been assigned probable reserves, there is a drill hole with 37 meters (110 feet) of silicified rocks identical to the main silica cap (180,000 proven ounces of gold) with relatively high grades of gold. Drilling data in the other three zones, while limited, show that there are gold reserves available but could not be considered proven until additional drilling data is obtained. The current exploration program will be used to define these reserves.

While it is not felt that there is one massive multi-million ounce ore body, it is felt that there are multiple smaller ore bodies that will add up to reserves of multi-million ounces of gold. The independent report suggests that there are several million ounces of gold that will be defined with the infill drilling program, increasing the value of the project to as much as $626 million after recovery costs based on an average price per ounce of gold at $850.00 Gold soars most since 1999 as investors seek haven from financial turmoil. John Embry, Chief Investment strategist for Sprott Asset Management forecasts ''Four-digit gold prices by January 2009. Juniors present the best opportunity to leverage the coming gold explosion.''

September 22, 2008 -- E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) today announced it has completed the sale of its Canadian business (E*TRADE Canada) to Scotiabank. The sale resulted in approximately $515 million in after-tax net proceeds inclusive of the repatriation of capital prior to close and net of transaction fees. The transaction will result in a pre-tax book gain of approximately $425 million in the third quarter of 2008. Combined with the other planned non-core asset sales announced this year, E*TRADE will generate more than $700 million in proceeds in 2008.

"We continue to make solid progress against our 2008 Turnaround Plan by monetizing non-core assets to generate capital at low cost in a shareholder-friendly manner, while delivering consistent organic growth in the retail business," said Donald H. Layton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corporation. "The sale of E*TRADE Canada helps to create a substantial capital cushion that we will be able to deploy as needed as we diligently execute against our plan to return our balance sheet to strength in this challenging market." During the transition process, E*TRADE and Scotiabank are committed to maintaining the quality experience E*TRADE Canada customers have come to expect. Through the remainder of 2008 it will be business as usual for E*TRADE Canada customers, as E*TRADE Canada and Scotiabank work together to ensure a smooth transition.

Market Wrap for September 22, 2008 The Dow closed nearly 370 points higher Friday, marking the end of a volatile week. The Dow registered triple-digit swings during each of the week's trading sessions.

The weeklong ride took participants both high and low. Despite closing the week's final session with a 3.4% gain, the Dow still ended the week 0.3% lower.

Still, the outlook among participants has improved substantially.

Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the government's intervention into the AIG (AIG 3.85, +1.16) debacle earlier in the week, federal agencies stepped up to restore investor confidence.

Just one day ago central banks injected liquidity into global financial markets to help restore their functionality. Now, the Fed is looking to create an entity that will help financial firms shed their illiquid and distressed assets, many of remain linked to risky subprime mortgages.

The Fed will also begin purchasing short-term debt issued by Fannie Mae (FNM 0.69, +0.20) and Freddie Mac (FRE 0.55, +0.22), which extends existing plans to buy mortgage-backed securities from the two.

To further enhance confidence among investors, the Fed is planning to sell insurance that covers money market mutual funds.

Some investors were encouraged by a ruling from the Securities Exchange Commission that put a temporary ban on short-selling certain financial stocks. Though the plan aims to protect certain securities and restore confidence, the plan has come under sharp criticism from market makers. Late in the session the SEC staff announced it wants to implement certain exemptions to the rule.
