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.

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.
