Intrepid Potash, Inc. has become the largest producer of potash (potassium chloride) in the United States. In addition, it produces three valuable byproducts: Solar Salt, Magnesium Chloride brine and Sulfate of Potash Magnesia.Potash is a critical fertilizer, providing one of eight essential nutrients and is vital to the creation of protein. It is necessary and widely used to grow corn, wheat, soybeans, potatoes, hay and numerous other crops. The United States currently imports almost 85% of its potash needs.Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Intrepid Potash, Inc. has two production facilities in Utah and three in New Mexico. These subsidiaries are named: Intrepid Potash - Moab, LLC, Intrepid Potash - Wendover, LLC and Intrepid Potash - New Mexico, LLC.

We know this can work in concert with sustainable, low cost production. Each facility has extensive ore reserves. Intrepid Potash, Inc. is on the leading edge of solution mining technology, having successfully designed, drilled and placed into production the first horizontal potash caverns in the world at its Moab, Utah facility. This technology will soon be implemented at our Carlsbad complex, producing several hundred thousand low cost, solution mining tons. We have studied and implemented technologies from a variety of industries, oil & gas, hard rock mining, metals processing and more. We have extensive growth opportunities at every Intrepid facility. Our five year plan focuses on these internal opportunities, increasing production while decreasing costs and upgrading all facilities for our future.
KWG Resources Inc (TSXV: KWG) is an exploration stage company that is participating in the discovery and delineation of chromite deposits in the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario. These deposits appear to promise the hosting of a globally significant source of chromite which may be refined into ferrochrome, a principal ingredient in the manufacture of stainless steel. KWG has been a pioneer in exploring the James Bay lowlands in a joint venture with Spider Resources since 1993. This has resulted in the discovery of several diamond bearing kimberlites and the McFaulds Lake copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits in 2004, the discovery which precipitated a staking rush that defined the "Ring of Fire".KWG acquired a 1% net smelter royalty ("NSR") in three of the presently-defined chromite discoveries and created Canada Chrome Corporation ("CCC") as a wholly-owned subsidiary. CCC has staked mining claims covering a unique linear sand ridge that stands proud of the vast wetlands. This sand ridge is well suited for a railroad embankment which could be created for transporting materials into the discovery area as well as transporting the mined ores out. Krech Ojard & Associates have been engaged to undertake pre-feasibility engineering of the embankment alignment and water crossings. This is being supported by a geotechnical study being carried out by Golder Associates who collected soil samples from 744 borings using hollow stem auger drills. The sampling along the 330 kilometer study corridor was completed in May, 2010. The pre-feasibility level engineering document will enable informed consultations with affected First Nations and all other local and regulatory constituencies, on the feasibility of constructing a railroad.Since core drilling first intersected chromite on the "Freewest Option" property in 2006, a total of 43 holes were directed to delineate the Big Daddy chromite deposit to a depth of 365 metres. Subsequent to the completion of the winter drilling 2010 program, Micon International Limited, "Micon", was engage to estimate the chromite resource. The results, first reported in a press release on May 3rd, 2010, are contained in a 43-101 compliant report filed on SEDAR on June 7th 2010, (SPIDER RESOURCES INC. AND KWG RESOURCES INC. TECHNICAL REPORT ON THE MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE FOR THE BIG DADDY CHROMITE DEPOSIT McFAULDS LAKE AREA, JAMES BAY LOWLANDS, NORTHERN ONTARIO,CANADA). Micon estimated that the "Massive Chromite Domain" contains an indicated resource of 23.2 million tonnes averaging 40.66% Cr2O3, and an additional inferred resource of 16.3 million tonnes averaging 39.09% Cr2O3. By comparison, Outokumpu's Kemi Mine in Finland has ore reserves of 41.1 million tonnes averaging 24.5% Cr2O3. The much higher grades of the Big Daddy compare favourably with those deposits whose ore is shipped directly to foundries with minimal processing. This potential is being investigated. CCC and the NSR are owned outright by KWG, as is Debuts Diamonds Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary which contains all the Company's diamond exploration properties. These include the MacFadyen Kimberlites and other contiguous interests that are all adjacent to the De Beers Victor Diamond Mine.
Laramide Resources Ltd. (“Laramide” or the “Company”) is a Toronto-based resource company specializing in the acquisition, discovery and development of uranium projects. Laramide has acquired known uranium assets with drilled out resources. Currently Laramide has approximately 62 million pounds of U3O8 (uranium oxide) located in NI 43-101 compliant resources in Australia and the U.S. One U.S. asset is in the permit comment period with a second US asset to be developed when title transfer is finalized.The Company’s main focus is the advancement of its flagship asset, the Westmoreland Uranium Project in Queensland, Australia. In 2009, Mining Associates of Australia completed a technical report that showed Westmoreland has an indicated resource of 36.0 M lbs @ 0.089% U3O8 and an inferred resource of 15.9 M lbs @ 0.083% U3O8 which ranks it as one of the ten largest uranium deposits in Australia and only one of a handful not under the control of a major mining company.GRD Minproc completed a scoping study on Westmoreland in early 2007 which indicates that the project is economically robust. The study estimates annual production of around 3.0 million pounds of U3O8 at production costs of approximately US$20 per pound. The initial mine life of 11 years could be increased to more than 15 years with further drilling. The direct and indirect capital cost for the project is estimated at US$214 million. Using long term contract prices, payback would occur in approximately 2 years. The proposed mining method is conventional open pit and would take place using the acid leach method. Both are conventional mining methods which are not considered technically challenging.In addition, Laramide participates in two joint ventures on projects adjacent to the Westmoreland Project, located within the Northern Territory. Laramide now holds in excess of 680,000 hectares of highly prospective tenements located in the Northern Territory and Queensland.
