Since the original Utah Copper Company began mining the low-grade copper ore in Bingham Canyon, the mine has become a huge open-pit that has produced more copper than any mine in the world, is one of the engineering marvels of the world, and is more than ¾ of a mile deep and more than 2 ¾ miles wide at the top. And it is still growing. Known as “The Richest Hole on Earth” it has yielded more than 18.1 million tons of copper metal, plus significant by-products gold, silver and molybdenum. Ore from the Mine is transported by a five-mile conveyor to the Copperton Concentrator where the rock containing about 0.6 percent copper is crushed and ground to face powder consistency before passing through a chemical flotation process where 28-percent copper concentrate is separated from molybdenite concentrate, which is packaged and sold to steel producers. Seventeen miles to the north, the state of the art Utah Copper Smelter processes the copper concentrate to produce 720-pound copper plates called anodes for use in the nearby Refinery. The copper is now 99.6 percent pure. In the Refinery, the anodes are alternated with thin stainless steel cathode blanks in horizontal tanks filled with liquid electrolyte into which an electric current creates the chemical electrolysis process. Electrolytic refining produces two, 280-pound copper cathodes from each anode during a 10-day period. Cathodes are 99.99 percent pure copper. Impurities and precious metals that settle in the bottom of the tanks, are collected and refined at the Precious Metals Plant.

Lihua is one of the first vertically integrated companies in China to develop, design, manufacture, market and distribute lower cost, high quality, alternatives to pure copper magnet wire. Lihua’s products include copper-clad aluminum wire (“CCA”) and recycled scrap copper wire. Primarily because of its high electrical conductivity, pure copper magnet wire is one of the fundamental building blocks in many components in a wide variety of motorized and electrical appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves and automobiles. Lihua CCA and recycled scrap copper wire are typically a low-cost substitute for pure copper wire, which allows our customers to realize significant cost savings with no loss of efficiency. We sell our products in China either directly to manufacturers or through distributors in the wire and cable industries and manufacturers in the consumer electronics, white goods, automotive, utility, telecommunications and specialty cable industries. Lihua’s corporate and manufacturing headquarters are located in the heart of China’s copper industry in Danyang, Jiangsu Province. To serve its diverse base of approximately 300 customers, Lihua has representatives in cities throughout China.

Lithic Resources isn't interested in stone, but it is interested in the minerals attached to the stone. Lithic Resources explores the zinc/indium/copper Crypto property in Nevada. The Crypto project has been in development since its acquisition in 2005 from EuroZinc, which has since merged into Lundin Mining. Lithic Resources was founded in 2002 through the restructuring of Berland Resources.

Los Andes Copper is a Canadian exploration and development company that holds an interest in the advanced stage Vizcachitas porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit in Region V, Chile. Vizcachitas is located in an area of excellent infrastructure including available water, road access to the site, power approximately 40km away and ports and smelters within 200km. The deposit has the potential for a low strip open pit operation. The Vizcachitas deposit is located in the prolific central Chile Late Miocene-Pliocene metallogenic belt that also includes the world class El Teniente (78.64Mt Cu), Los Pelambres/El Pachon (26.42Mt Cu) and Rio Blanco/Los Bronces (52.43Mt Cu) deposits. The geology is typical of Andean porphyry copper molybdenum deposits and shares several characteristics with other deposits in the belt. To date, an interim NI43-101 compliant indicated sulphide resource of 515M tonnes grading 0.39% Cu and 0.011% Mo (0.46% CuEq), and an inferred sulphide resource of 572M tonnes grading 0.34% Cu and 0.012% Mo (0.41% CuEq) at a 0.3% CuEq. cut-off have been defined on the property. These resources represent a total of 8.72 billion pounds of contained copper and 276 million pounds of contained molybdenum. A small resource of oxide/transitional material is also present. Los Andes continues drilling on the property to expand these resources. Recently, Los Andes engaged AMEC to undertake a scoping study/preliminary economic analysis. This study is expected to be completed by March 2009.
