The Tata Steel Group has always believed that mutual benefit of countries, corporations and communities is the most effective route to growth. Tata Steel has not limited its operations and businesses within India but has built an imposing presence around the globe as well.

During the financial year 2009-10, the Group recorded deliveries of 24 million tonnes against 28 million tonnes in the previous year, the decline being a reflection of the global economic slowdown mainly in the UK and European operations.

From the early days in 1965 to the present, Eastern Alloys has developed and implemented a series of programs, or tools, to support the marketplace. The business was founded upon the notion that customer success would provide the energy and impetus to drive the company's growth. By any measure that business model has succeeded. Today, Eastern Alloys operates two discrete manufacturing and recycling facilities: the flagship plant in Maybrook, NY, and Eastern Alloys of Kentucky, LLC, in Henderson, KY. Dedicated in April 2000, the Kentucky plant is the newest, most technologically advanced zinc alloy complex ever constructed.Today, businesses in all industries are faced with making hard decisions that will impact future performance, in some case survivability. Everything is in play, everything. Some part of the solution is simple, at least from a philosophical perspective. Different results are the reciprocal of different actions, or inputs. To continue the same practices only assures the same results. So then, success is about making choices.For every manufacturer of zinc alloy die castings, large or small, zinc alloy is typically one of the largest, if not the single largest cost component when measured as a percent of cost of goods sold. So it follows that selecting a supplier is serious business, especially in today's environment. In addition to raw materials, a zinc alloy supplier must be able to deliver the necessary services, information, and support that contribute materially towards its customers' success. To just ship a truck filled with raw material and mail an invoice falls short of the mark. Suppliers of die castings are being pressed to find ways to remove or reduce cost. In this context suppliers must become strategic trading partners. Selecting a supplier of zinc alloy is at least as serious as choosing a bank, business consultant, die casting machine builder, or tool maker, perhaps more so.For 37 years, Eastern Alloys has sought to develop innovative solutions to benefit the North American zinc die casting industry. Early programs include ZA Alloy development, including providing industry-wide access to ZA trademark rights. Other programs include what was originally known as the Australian Die Casting Technology Transfer program continuing today as Low Mass Technology. Eastern took the lead in market development supporting the IZA's Marketing Conference series for manufacturers of zinc die castings. Eastern was a founding member of Interzinc, a zinc-specific marketing consortium. Importantly, under the leadership of Richard J. Bauer, Eastern's founder and Chairman, the company rallied the Washington Conference for Zinc, not once but twice, to thwart an attempt to include zinc in Super Fund legislation.More recently, Eastern Alloys has expanded its customer-centric improvement engineering program developing user-friendly PQ2 EA software. At the 21st NADCA Congress & Exposition the company introduced ZinCalc, a program designed to assist die casters improve 1st pass material efficiency. Plus, the improvement engineering group continues working closely with customers and end-users to improve in-plant performance and develop new applications for zinc alloys. Because the business of buying and selling zinc alloys is not without risk, Eastern has developed a formal Price Risk Management facility available to every customer. To that end Eastern was elected a member of the London Metal Exchange earlier in the year. Each business day the company is connected to the world's metals and financial centers via real-time satellite down link. Add to that the company's comprehensive Market Development, Strategic Market Planning, and Supply Chain Management programs, Eastern Alloys delivers expansive resources to drive customer growth.

Teuton was formed in 1982 and has been acquiring and exploring land in the Golden Triangle region of northwestern British Columbia (Canada) ever since. It now controls 300,000 acres of claims separated into about 30 properties and leads all other companies in ground staked.The Golden Triangle is British Columbia’s foremost gold and silver district. Two of the most famous mines within the region are the Premier mine discovered in 1918 and the Eskay Creek mine discovered in 1989. The Eskay Creek mine is considered to be the richest gold and silver VMS deposit in the world.Recently, the region has become even more prominent due to the discovery of very large gold and gold-copper deposits in the Sulphurets area, near the center of the Golden Triangle. Two companies, Seabridge Gold and Silver Standard Resources have been spending many millions of dollars exploring for gold in the Sulphurets area in the past four years. Recent indications are that they have established combined resources equating to over 70 million ounces of gold along with several billions of pounds of copper. Potential for 100+ million ounces of gold is considered excellent.The Sulphurets area has been staked since the 1960’s, but continuations of the same geology to the north and the south were open until the early 1980’s when they were acquired by staking by Teuton. Drilling in 2009 of Teuton’s claims to the north, the Treaty Creek property, established similar interval lengths and grades to that encountered in Seabridge’s largest deposit, the Mitchell. Teuton has just begun exploration of the claims to the south, called the High property.Teuton also owns large tracts of land adjoining south of Imperial Metals promising Red Chris discovery, where Hole RC09-350 ran 152.5m averaging 4.12% copper and 8.83 g/t gold. It holds land a few hundred metres north and on strike of Decade Resources promising Red Cliff discovery. It owns royalty interests in land surrounding the Granduc mine of Bell Copper and Castle Minerals. West of the Eskay Creek mine it owns the Bonsai property where optionee Copper Creek Venture plans to spend $1.25 million in 2010 drilling a strong, coincident geophysical and geochem anomaly. Drilling in 2009 produced high-grade gold grades over good widths at its Clone property (under option to Canasia Industries) and a $750,000 program of drilling and bulk sampling is scheduled for 2010. Southeast of Great Bear’s BA property it holds the Stamp claims, now under option to Decade Resources and having similar geology to the BA. Its claims surround the Homestake gold-silver property of Bravo Ventures on three sides. Promising gold and/or silver mineralization has been found on its Tennyson, Del Norte, Harry, 4-J’s, Catspaw, Ram, Bud, Konkin Silver, Silver Bell, Bay Silver and Orion claims.Both the federal and provincial government recently approved a multi-million dollar extension of a transmission line into the heart of the Golden Triangle. This line is vital to the start-up of potential mines at Red Chris, Galore Creek, and the Sulphurets claims of Seabridge Gold and Silver Standard, all of which are currently at some stage in the permitting process.
