'Follow-me', a Commercial Product to Reduce International Roaming Charges
Launched in Shanghai, China

    BEIJING, Jan. 22 / Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Bralorne Mining
Company (OTC Bulletin Board: BLNM) (''BLNM'') today announced its wholly
controlled subsidiary company -- Beijing Quan Tong Chang Information
Service Limited (''Beijing QTC''), a leader in providing next generation
voice and data telecommunication service in China, won a contract from
China Netcom Group Shanghai Branch (''CNC'') to provide international call
forwarding service that significantly reduces high roaming charges. Beijing
QTC is the first telecom service provider successfully introducing this
service to the China market and it will deploy this solution to over 40
major cities in China in 2007.
    The international call forwarding service, branded ''Follow-me'', will
target users who frequently travel overseas. It was developed out of
immensely expensive international mobile roaming charges these users have
to pay now. To use this service, mobile users only need to register their
mobile number on QTC's network and purchase a separate prepaid value
''Travel SIM Card'' to be used at the destination of travel. The roaming
change price per min is much lower than domestic IP phone, with a fee of
US$0.15/min.
    Beijing QTC commenced development of this International Call Forwarding
Service since 2005. By signing the agreement with CNC Shanghai Branch, a
pioneer telecom provider in China, Beijing QTC launches this self-developed
service in Shanghai through the shared wireless networking resource
platform from CNC Shanghai Branch. Research statistics review that every
year, about 40 million potential consumers in China will be benefited from
this smart designed product. To date, Beijing QTC transforms its core IP
service business to International Call Service and in 2007, this mobile
softswitch solution will be available for commercial use in over 40 major
cities in China
    ''The successful deployment of Beijing QTC's international call
forwarding service into Shanghai is of great significance to us. It
demonstrates our excellent R&D ability in our core business of wireless
mobile network service,'' comments Mr. Zhang Feng Ming, President of BLNM,
''Beijing QTC will then focus on nationwide market exploitation and we are
very pleased to see that our networking products and services are now ready
for the future.''
    About Beijing QTC's International Call Forwarding Service
    The international forwarding call service will be provided to Chinese
mobile users traveling overseas for business or leisure. The service,
''Follow-me", is named after its ability to allow a mobile number toto
follow its user whichever country he or she is traveling to, without paying
high roaming charges. The voice traffic will be routed via CNC's network to
abroad. Travelers only need to register the mobile number on QTC's network
and purchase a separate prepaid value ''Travel SIM Card'' to be used at the
destination of travel. Upon arrival, by replacing the existing SIM card
with the ''Travel SIM Card'' in their mobile phones, calls to the users'
mobile numbers in the home country will be automatically forwarded to the
''Travel SIM Card'' number at the overseas destination. Rates will be much
lower than that of normal roaming ervices. Sales of such service and the
stored value ''Travel SIM Cards'' will be performed via travel agents.
