LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- First Corporation (OTCBB: FSTC) announces Gecko Landmarks Ltd. is in advanced negotiations with African mobile telecom operators. Gecko plans to launch Gecko's Family and Friend Finder for over 100 million consumer subscribers. A "must have" service, Family and Friend Finder will provide safety, peace of mind, and convenience. Users can send SMS text messages to find the location of any phone, as well as activate alarms to inform family members if they find themselves in dangerous situations.

The Gecko Family and Friend Finder works everywhere with every phone. Finding another person has never been so easy. See how it works at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9unKNbADeUg

Soon available for operators and phone companies to increase sales and differentiate services, the first agreements are expected to be formalized later this year. Several implementations are expected to take place in Africa early in 2013 and expanded into Asia and other emerging markets thereafter.
