Just two days after Haiti’s earthquake, Leonel Fernandez, the president of the neighboring Dominican Republic, ordered a helicopter to fly him over the border for an unannounced visit. He was worried about his Haitian counterpart and friend, Rene Preval, who was still incommunicado.
What made this neighborly gesture remarkable was that the two countries that share the island of Hispaniola have long been divided by mutual suspicion. During a previous term in the 1990s, Fernandez became the first Dominican president to visit Haiti in 60 years.
Fernandez says he found Preval alone in a small, dark back office at a police station near the airport. They talked about how the Dominican Republic could help. It has, a lot. Crews of Dominicans, including engineers, telecoms technicians and the Red Cross, were among the first to join the relief effort.
Fernandez dispatched 15 mobile kitchens to provide hot meals to survivors. He is now sending 100 old buses, refitted with desks and chairs, to serve as temporary classrooms. Dominican health teams are helping to treat earthquake survivors at a makeshift hospital in Jimani on the border. Victor Atallah, a Dominican cardiologist, is building a rehabilitation clinic in Jimani where he plans to fit amputees with prosthetic limbs.
In June, Fernandez will host a donor conference in Santo Domingo. There is understandable self-interest in his admirable solidarity.
Officials have ordered that cabs be identified by the standard color to regulate the business and ensure passenger safety.
The government has bought a fleet of new yellow Toyota Corollas to be used as taxis in the capital of Santo Domingo and the northern city of Santiago. Several banks and a state institution issued a $129 million loan to buy the cars. They start circulating Wednesday.
Taxi drivers have the option of painting their current cab yellow or buying one of the new ones and receiving a tax break.
The government said Friday it also plans to certify drivers.

HIGHLIGHTS
- Recent rock sampling from Los Comios project returns values up to 5.37 g/t Au from silicified sedimentary rocks;
- Los Comios district continues to develop as new areas of mineralisation and alteration are discovered; and
- GoldQuest will be presenting at the AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference.
Alistair Waddell, President & CEO of GoldQuest, commented, “We are extremely encouraged at the latest results which continue to expand the Los Comios district. We believe the scale and nature of the alteration is indicative of porphyry type environment and the Company will continue to explore the district in greater detail”.
LOS COMIOS PROJECT: GoldQuest has completed follow up of several zones of alteration discovered on its 100% owned Los Comios project described in the news release dated October 7, 2009. The principal target called Los Lechones is focused on a gold-molybdenum ridge-and-spur soil anomaly that consists of a continuous line of 11 samples taken at twenty-five meter intervals with an average grade of 0.22 g/t Au and 9.31 ppm Mo. These samples were taken as part of a programme that comprised of 178 samples. The line of anomalous soil samples obliquely traverses a zone of silicified, brecciated sediments that have been geologically mapped over an area of approximately 800 by 120 meters. Recent rock chip sampling from this zone has returned values up to 5.37 g/t Au from intensely silicified sediments which are interpreted to be limestones. From a programme consisting of 50 rock samples the average grade returned 0.26 g/t Au and 17.6 ppm Mo from either silicified sediments or the juxtaposing silicified andesitic volcanics. One sub-crop sample of silicified, laminated sediment taken from a separate zone 850 meters further to the northwest of Los Lechones returned 0.67 g/t Au.
The second zone of alteration called La Guamita is located 1.8 km to the south east of Los Lechones and occurs at a contact between andesitic volcanic rocks and a diorite intrusion with approximate dimensions of 300 by 200 meters. The La Guamita zone has disseminated pyrite with intense quartz-sericite alteration with eight rock samples from this zone returning values between 0.11 and 0.37 g/t Au from a programme comprising of 47 samples. A third zone of intense alteration discovered approximately 1 km to the north of La Guamita did not return any significant sample values.
The Los Lechones and La Guamita zones are located approximately five kilometres northwest of the Los Comios copper-gold anomaly previously described in a Company news release dated August 5, 2009. The gold-copper anomaly has been defined by 330 rock and float samples with 118 returning values greater than 0.1% copper including 59 greater than 1% copper and 6 greater than 10% copper with a maximum value of 34.6%. Rock float samples have returned values up to 17.0 g/t gold and 1.3% zinc. The strongest mineralized samples originate from either side of a large topographic high which is coincidental with a strong positive airborne magnetic anomaly located east of the Los Lechones and La Guamita zones. The Company intends to complete a more focused exploration programme to systematically explore the greater Los Comios district in further detail and believes the area has the potential to host porphyry style mineralisation.
The Company continues to prioritise, critically review and explore the portfolio of gold and copper targets including those that were formally part of the Gold Fields funded joint venture.
