Press Release Summary = Strong Exports and High Commodity Prices Contribute to
Growth within Many of the Latin American Markets

Press Release Body = POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC - January 18, 2007,
www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading content provider of global investor and industry
news and research resource portals, reviews the growing opportunities in renewable
energy, mining, technology and digital media within key South American markets.
Strong exports, high commodity prices and increased investments have been
contributing factors to growth within many of the Latin American markets. As a
result, many companies are working to capitalize across a variety of sectors such as
DVD manufacturer Infosmart Group, Inc. (OTC BB: IFSG) in the digital media and tech
market, ZAP (OTC BB: ZAAP) and Rotoblock Corporation (OTC BB: ROTB) taking advantage
of the growing demand for alternative and renewable transportation, as well as
GoldenPeaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL) and other mining companies pursuing resource
plays within Argentina and surrounding areas.

According to IDC Worldwide PC Tracker December 2006, Brazil's computer sales, to
include desktops, notebooks and ultra portables, increased 21.5% to just under 1.79
million units in the third quarter of 2006, in comparison to the same time period in
2005.

The DVD player market possibly has the greatest potential for growth in Brazil\'s
entire entertainment hardware sector, a key factor behind the decision by DVDR
manufacturer Infosmart Group, Inc. (OTC BB:IFSG) to establish a production facility
in Brazil through its subsidiary Infosmart Discobras. The Company's DVD production
from its Brazil facility is expected to begin in February 2007, with sales
anticipated to contribute approximately 40% of the group revenue.

Brazil is also the world's largest producer and exporter of sugar cane-based
ethanol. Brazil's success in alternative fuels has led to the mass adoption of
vehicles that run on pure ethanol, or a gasoline-ethanol blend termed gasohol and
the overall acceptance of 'green' transportation technology.

Brazilian automotive company Obvio ! has developed unique flex-fuel and electric
microcars suitable for 3 adults. Each microcar, measuring only nine feet in length
which comes in either flex-fuel or all-electric models, achieves approximately 29
mpg in the city and over 40 mpg on the highway. Obvio ! has teamed up with
California-based alternative vehicles developer and distributor ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP),
to break into the North American market with estimates of launching 50,000 of the
flex-fuel cars in mid to late 2008 for approximately $14,000USD per vehicle. ZAP is
the exclusive North American distributor for Obvio ! and owns 20% of the Brazilian
company.

Obvio ! is also pursuing further efficiencies through its development and licensing
agreement with technology development company, Rotoblock Corporation (OTCBB: ROTB),
specializing in advanced propulsion systems for the integration of their Oscillating
Piston Engine (OPE) into the Obvio ! 828, the 012 and future models. The energy
efficiency, small size and reduced emissions make Rotoblock's OPE suitable for use
with Obvio's hybrid applications.

Chile has garnered considerable attention as the largest copper producer in the
world and with copper prices seeing record highs in 2006, the region has reaped the
economic rewards as GDP growth reached over 6% in 2005 and over 5% for 2006.

Argentina is the second-largest country in South America next to Brazil with rich
natural resources and strong GDP growth between 8-9% over the past few years. As a
result of historical political uncertainty Argentina has seen relatively little
exploration when compared to nearby regions such as Chile and Brazil. However, as
the political climate has significantly improved so has the investment potential of
this region. Evidence of this is seen in the participation by many resource
companies such as GoldCorp Inc, Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL), and Barrick
Gold Corporation.

Golden Peaks Resources Ltd. (TSX: GL), an exploration and resource development
company holds more than 385,000 acres of prospective land holdings in four of
Argentina's most established mining districts. The Company's main focus is on five
high priority gold projects within Argentina covering the provinces of La Rioja,
Neuquen, and Chubut. Golden Peaks' La Fortuna project in Chubut, Argentina is
located in the same region as the nearby Esquel and Navidad deposits and exhibits
distinct geological characteristics which the Company believes to be evidence of its
potential to be the region's next major gold discovery.

Overall, while emerging markets can potentially be volatile due in large part to
political risk, the strong demand across sectors such as alternative energy and
transportation, mining and many segments within technology continue to present signs
of long term opportunity.
