SMG Indium Resources has a simple plan; it's attaining the results that's proving to be difficult. SMG Indium Resources company plans to buy a stockpile of indium, sit on it for a few years, and ride the appreciation all the way to the bank. The group may lease, lend, or sell portions (or even all) of its stockpile based on market conditions, but does not have any plans to actively speculate on the short term fluctuations in the price of the metal. Number 49 on the Periodic Table, indium has a variety of industrial applications and its use in the manufacture of flat panel displays has created significant demand for the metal. Indium has also found use in solar energy technology. SMG Indium filed an IPO in April 2010.

EMJ's origins date back to the entrepreneurs of the last century - men like Earle M. Jorgensen, A.B. Murray, C.A. Roberts and Perry Kilsby who understood the needs of a growing U.S. economy, and created an industry to meet those needs. Through the efforts of these visionaries, EMJ has grown into one of the largest metal distributors in the world.A rich history has fueled EMJ's evolution. Jorgensen Steel and Aluminum was founded in 1921 and quickly became a highly-regarded name in the U.S. metal-working industry. Jorgensen grew to stock one of the country's largest inventories of bar, sheet, plate and structural steel and aluminum.In 1990, Jorgensen merged with Kilsby-Roberts, the largest distributor of specialty bar and tubing in the country. Kilsby-Roberts' origins date back to the C.A. Roberts Company, founded in 1915, and Kilsby Tube Supply, founded in 1946. The two companies merged in 1981 to become Kilsby-Roberts. In 1986, Kilsby-Roberts acquired the century-old A.B. Murray Company, and its status as the pre-eminent bar and tubing distributor in the country was assured.Kilsby's strengths in tubing and specialty bar products - joined with Jorgensen's presence in the general line steel and aluminum markets - created a powerful strategic alliance: EMJ. Now, those three simple initials bring together all the resources and know-how of its predecessors.

Los Andes Copper is a Canadian exploration and development company that holds an interest in the advanced stage Vizcachitas porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit in Region V, Chile. Vizcachitas is located in an area of excellent infrastructure including available water, road access to the site, power approximately 40km away and ports and smelters within 200km. The deposit has the potential for a low strip open pit operation. The Vizcachitas deposit is located in the prolific central Chile Late Miocene-Pliocene metallogenic belt that also includes the world class El Teniente (78.64Mt Cu), Los Pelambres/El Pachon (26.42Mt Cu) and Rio Blanco/Los Bronces (52.43Mt Cu) deposits. The geology is typical of Andean porphyry copper molybdenum deposits and shares several characteristics with other deposits in the belt. To date, an interim NI43-101 compliant indicated sulphide resource of 515M tonnes grading 0.39% Cu and 0.011% Mo (0.46% CuEq), and an inferred sulphide resource of 572M tonnes grading 0.34% Cu and 0.012% Mo (0.41% CuEq) at a 0.3% CuEq. cut-off have been defined on the property. These resources represent a total of 8.72 billion pounds of contained copper and 276 million pounds of contained molybdenum. A small resource of oxide/transitional material is also present. Los Andes continues drilling on the property to expand these resources. Recently, Los Andes engaged AMEC to undertake a scoping study/preliminary economic analysis. This study is expected to be completed by March 2009.

Since Kazakhstan gained independence in 1991, we at ENRC have worked hard to create a leading diversified natural resources group with fully integrated mining, processing, energy and transport operations.This transformation has produced a thriving international business with yearly revenue in excess of US$6.8bn, capital expenditure of around US$1.3bn in 2008 and over 65,000 employees.Contributing significantly to Kazakhstan's GDP, our group is now one of the world's largest producers of ferrochrome; one of the world's significant exporters of iron ore; the world's ninth largest producer of traded alumina; and one of the largest electricity providers in Kazakhstan.Underpinning this strong growth is the stability that comes from our significant, proven reserves, low production costs, cost-effective energy supply and integrated logistics.Together these protect us from the cyclical trends and volatility of the market, making us one of the industry's most reliable suppliers.With our production centred in Kazakhstan, and our developed and efficient structure and processes, we are perfectly positioned - geographically and as a business - to extend our strong regional presence as the market for natural resources shifts eastwards towards Russia, China and India.In adapting to these new opportunities, we will remain committed to the principles that have guided us throughout: committed leadership, sustained investment, technical innovation, and strong ethics.
