Fortescue is the New Force in Iron Ore and has joined the world's leading producers of iron ore. Since Fortescue was formed in 2003, its extraordinary growth has been unparalleled. Listed in the S&P/ASX 50 share index, Fortescue has firmly established itself as one of the world's largest producers and sea-borne traders of iron ore.Construction of Fortescue's port, rail and mine project commenced in February 2006 with the turning of the first sod at the Company's port site at Anderson Point in Port Hedland.

On the 18th of July, Fortescue's fifth anniversary, Fortescue successfully mined, railed and shipped at a rate of 24Mtpa for a one month period. This accomplishment occurred in line with the detailed business plan for its Pilbara Project.n the first full year of operations, Fortescue mined, railed and shipped more than 27 million tonnes of iron ore to customers in China.Many milestones have been achieved since then including the establishment of Fortescue's second minesite at Christmas Creek to create the Chichester Hub and the development of plans for the Solomon Hub of tenements to the west of the company's original mines.Fortescue's project was founded on the raising of A$3.7 billion capital, including A$1 billion equity, during two finance roadshows in August 2006 and July 2007.

Franco-Nevada is a gold-focused royalty company with additional interests in platinum group metals, oil and gas and other assets. We are the leading gold royalty company with the largest gold royalty revenues. The majority of our revenues are derived from a diversified portfolio of high-quality royalty properties located in North America. Franco-Nevada also holds a pipeline of assets which have the potential to generate future royalty revenues but which are currently under development or in the exploration phase. As of mid 2010, the royalty portfolio consists of approximately 311 royalty interests diversified over a range of commodities and stages from exploration through to operating.Our royalty portfolio generates high-margin free cash-flow with lower exposure to operating and capital costs than operating companies. The portfolio also provides us with direct leverage to commodity prices and the exploration potential of world-class ore deposits and mineral exploration trends where we have existing royalty interests. Management has proven successful in both acquiring and creating new royalties along with managing our growing portfolio of assets. We intend to utilize our free cash-flow to grow the portfolio and to pay dividends. We believe that a portfolio of royalty interests provides our shareholders with a higher risk-adjusted return through the commodity cycle than direct operating interests.

More than half a century has passed since Fujimi introduced its first man-made lapping abrasives to Japanese industry. Since then, the name Fujimi has become synonymous with premium quality lapping and polishing products. We have taken micro–particle production to the nanometer level, making it a key technology in a wide range of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing, optics, and metal finishing. In the area of silicon wafer lapping powders used for IC and VLSI substrates, Fujimi has earned approximately 80% of the global market. We are committed to advancing fine particle technology to benefit industry worldwide. It is our goal to create ever finer particle materials, both as refinements in current applications and for applications only imagined.Fujimi products first reached the North American market in 1976. A U. S. sales company, Fujimi Corporation, was established in Chicago in 1984 to better market our products to American customers. Growing demands from the American semiconductor industry led to the creation of Fujimi America Inc in 1988. PWA lapping powders are still being produced at our 32,000 square foot facility in Wilsonville , Oregon . It has been continually upgraded, and is now the Fujimi PWA production center for the world. Its products are the standard of the industry, and are primarily marketed to the semiconductor manufacturing, glass processing and metal finishing industries.Our manufacturing complex in Tualatin has been built in phases, beginning in 1993 with a facility for the production of Disklite polishing slurries. A 45,000 square feet building devoted to the production of FO lapping powders was completed in 1996. It is the most advanced facility of its type in the industry. This plant is highly automated and fitted with state-of-the-art environmental controls. Our Technical Center , dedicated to testing of Fujimi products, was constructed at the same time. It was the beginning of the research and development of advanced finishing processes in the U.S. A production facility for CMP products was begun in 1998, and is continually being expanded and upgraded to meet the demands of a growing market. Currently four CMP products are being made on a 24/7 schedule. In July of 2003, Fujimi Corporation was merged with Fujimi America , maintaining the name Fujimi Corporation as the U.S. company, located in Tualatin , Oregon . A building containing administrative offices, expansion space for CMP production, an ultra clean automated CMP process facility, and several state-of-the-art laboratories for R&D was completed on the Tualatin site just before the merger. Further expansion in Tualatin is being planned, as well as upgrades to the PWA plant in Wilsonville.

The property is situated between producing mines at Imperial Metals' Mt. Polley Copper-Gold Mine and New Gold Inc.'s New Afton Copper-Gold project (Teck-Cominco's legendary Afton mine). Drilling is ongoing for the purposes of expanding existing mineralized zones and discovering new zones.In July, 2010, the Company signed an option agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Sainte Sabine project, a high-potential gold property located within the Bellechasse Mineral Belt in southeastern Quebec. Sainte Sabine is both a gold and gold-polymetallic (Au-Ag-Zn-Cu) property and is located approximately 100 km southeast of Quebec City, within the Beauce region. The property lies immediately along and across strike of several known zones currently being tested by Golden Hope Mines on their Bellechasse Project. New airborne geophysical and ground geochemical surveys will be completed by GWR to improve exploration vectoring on this exciting project.
