Arabian American Development Company was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1967. The company’s principal business activities include developing mineral properties in Saudia Arabia and the United States and manufacturing various petrochemical products. ARSD owns the rights to a significant undeveloped mine in Saudi Arabia. The Company has formed a joint stock corporation with Saudi investors. ARSD will contribute the mine rights to this corporation, and investors will contribute $60 million in cash to fund the construction of a $120 million processing facility to make the mine operational. The joint stock corporation will seek financing in the form of a credit line from a bank for the remaining amount. The construction of the facility is expected to take two years. ARSD also owns approximately 55% of the capital stock of a Nevada mining company, Pioche-Ely Valley Mines, Inc ("Pioche"). Pioche owns a 300-ton a day mill which is not currently operable. It also owns 48 patented and 5 unpatented claims totaling approximately 1,500 acres located in the Pioche Mining District, Lincoln County, Nevada. A significant expenditure would be required in order to put the mill into continuous operation if commercial mining is to be conducted on the property. ARSD believes that the real estate value of Pioche is greater than the metal value.

The story of CITGO Petroleum Corporation as an enduring American success story began back in 1910 when pioneer oilman, Henry L. Doherty, created the Cities Service Company.When Cities Service determined that it needed to change its marketing brand, it introduced the name CITGO in 1965, retaining the first syllable of its long-standing name and ending with "GO" to imply power, energy and progressiveness. The now familiar and enduring CITGO "trimark" logo was born. Occidental Petroleum bought Cities Service in 1982, and CITGO was incorporated as a wholly owned refining, marketing and transportation subsidiary in the spring of the following year. Then, in August, 1983, CITGO was sold to The Southland Corporation to provide an assured supply of gasoline to Southland's 7-Eleven convenience store chain.
