It unflaggingly seeks more efficient ways to manufacture steel products, improve product quality, and minimize costs. Furthermore, it takes pride in its role in protecting the environment thanks to its role as a recycler of steel scrap, thus emitting only one-fourth of the carbon dioxide per unit of production compared with making steel using iron ore and coal.

aseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO, NYSE AMEX: TGB) is a British Columbia based mining company. Its main assets are the 75% owned Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine, the Prosperity gold-copper project, the Harmony gold project and the early stage Aley niobium project. The Gibraltar copper-molybdenum mine, located in south-central British Columbia, is a 46,000 ton per day operation with a life of mine average annual production of 100 million pounds of copper and 1.1 million pounds of molybdenum. The mine is undergoing an expansion and modernization project which will increase annual copper production capacity to 115 million pounds by 2011. The current mine life is 26 years and there are additional resources that could significantly extend the mine life. Prosperity is one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold-copper deposits. Prior to 2001, the Company had carried out extensive exploration, engineering, mine planning, environmental and socio-economic studies on Prosperity, which hosts a large porphyry gold-copper deposit amenable to large scale open pit mining. After reinitiating work on Prosperity in 2005, the Company focused on completing the feasibility study and advancing the environmental assessment. The feasibility study was completed in late 2007 and confirmed robust economics. The project received it British Columbia Provincial Environmental Assessment Certificate in January 2010. The federal panel reviewing the project just completed six weeks of public hearings and has now committed to complete its final report in early July. Final approval from the federal government is expected in September 2010. Taseko also owns the Harmony gold project, located on the west coast of BC, and the Aley niobium project, in northern BC, which provide longer-term opportunities for additional development.

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.
