La Mancha was created in September 2006 following the fusion of the gold assets of AREVA NC, a large French multinational, with the exploration properties held by La Mancha Resources Inc., a Canadian-based gold exploration company.With three mines in production and the positive conclusions of a feasibility study supporting the development of a fourth mine in Australia, La Mancha is well positioned to continue its production growth. For 2009, our attributable gold production should increase to up to 100,000 ounces of gold. Most of this increase in production will be fuelled by our Australian operations, as the Frog's Leg mine will be benefiting from a gain in momentum and a first full year of production. At our African mines, we expect improved performance from the new quartz line, while the Ity mine's efficiency should remain as strong as in 2008.La Mancha's shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol "LMA".

Anglo American's name might be a little misleading -- it's never been American. The UK-based company owns significant stakes in global producers of platinum (75% of Anglo Platinum) and diamonds (45% of De Beers S.A.). In addition, Anglo American has interests in ferrous and base metals and industrial minerals; it also is among the world's largest coal miners. Anglo American has spent much of the decade reorganizing its portfolio and has narrowed its focus. Though it used to have a majority stake in AngloGold Ashanti, Anglo American divested its remaining shares in 2009. The founding Oppenheimer family no longer controls Anglo American, though Nicky Oppenheimer, who chairs De Beers, sits on the board.
