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.

At the outset of the establishment of CSC over thirty years ago, CSC pioneers and their fellow workers daringly adopted the 100% continuous casting production process which was considered to be the most up-to-date at the time, and later on decided that computerization of all operations was imperative. As a result of their decisions, CSC maintains certain international competitiveness whether it is privately owned or state-owned. Another comparative advantage CSC possesses is the valuable human resources that have been put through CSC employees are competent andwilling to make breakthroughs and innovations. They have all played major roles making CSC a role model in the steel business, and in its diversification programs.Entering its fourth decade and under the leadership of a management team headed by Chairman Chia-Juch Chang and President Y. C. Chen, on the domestic front CSC was instrumental in the integration of a number of activities among the local steel-related industries and set them on the right track of healthy development. On the international front, CSC aspires to have an impact on the global steel industry by fostering exchanges of steel production technology and establishing strategic cooperation. In addition, CSC hopes to play the part of an industry navigator by gathering resources from the society and people to promote the bio-tech and information industries.

Consolidated Global Minerals sticks to mineral exploration, primarily in North America. Global Mineral is involved in gold exploration at the Front Range project in Colorado and also has various other option agreements for mineral claims in Canada (Ontario), the US (Nevada), and Slovakia (Strieborna). In 2004 Global Mineral sold its mineral holdings in Tunisia to Maghreb Minerals. As a result of the sale Consolidated Global Minerals holds a 25% stake in Maghreb.

PDM entered the steel service center industry in California with its 1954 acquisition of the Proctor-James Steel Company in San Jose. In 1955 Kyle and Company, with facilities at Fresno, Stockton and Sacramento was added. With four service centers, PDM was able to provide outstanding service throughout central and northern California.In 1962, new facilities were constructed at Fresno, California giving improved service to customers in the central California area. Recognizing the great potential for its products and services, the Company established a fifth service center in the Reno/Sparks area of Nevada in 1963. In 1968, the new service center facilities at Fresno and Sacramento and the existing facilities at Santa Clara and Sparks were greatly augmented by the completion of the semi-automated center at Stockton.The latest in material handling fixtures and equipment were used in the Stockton facility. Steel is stacked 24' in the air on specially constructed racks. Stacker Cranes are used to handle the material in the racks. The Stacker Cranes move the material from the order storage areas to delivery trucks.To provide the greatest possible service and selection for our customers, the "Common Inventory Concept" was established. This gave all customers access to the total company inventory at all locations.Under the Common Inventory Concept, Stockton is the geographical hub of the Service Wheel with spokes running north to Sacramento, east to Reno and Spanish Fork, south to Fresno, and west to Santa Clara. The "Interplant Transfer System" moves this Common Inventory from one location to another, allowing short lead-time delivery of most items regardless of the inventory source. The efficiency and success of this system has proven to be an important benefit to our customers.A new service center was established in Spanish Fork, Utah, south of Salt Lake City, in 1977. As customer demands for "pre-production processing" grew, new processing equipment was installed at all facilities. Shears, automatic saws, and shape burning equipment that can virtually burn in steel anything that can be drawn in two dimensions, are available at each center. Plasma cutting equipment allows shapes to be cut in material which is too thin to be cut with conventional flame cutting equipment. Computer aided design and CNC have made possible the burning of shapes too large to fit on paper and too complex to be easily laid out on a drafting table, while at the same time allowing for the efficient "nesting" of burned parts for reduced scrap loss.
