Orko Silver Corp. ( TSX Venture Exchange: OK.V ) focuses on resource exploration and development for Silver and Gold in Mexico. The Company has a large land position in Durango State, a historically prolific silver mining region located along the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains. The company owns a 100% interest La Preciosa Project that covers 80,000 acres of contiguous mining claims.On February 18, 2009, the Company released its 6th NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate. The La Preciosa deposit now comprises 47% Indicated Resources and 53% Inferred Resources. Current Indicated Resources are 10.64 million tonnes grading 0.27 g/t Au and 185 g/t Ag for a silver-equivalent grade of 201 g/t. at a cut off grade of 100 g/t Ag. The contained metal equals 63.2 million ounces of silver and 94,000 ounces of gold for a silver-equivalent of 68.9 million ounces. Current Inferred Resources are 12.0 million tonnes grading 0.25 g/t Au and 185 g/t Ag for a silver-equivalent grade of 200 g/t. at a cut off grade of 100 g/t. The contained metal equals 71.8 million ounces of silver and 97,000 ounces of gold for a silver-equivalent of 77.6 million ounces.**Estimated at a 60 to 1 silver/gold ratio with metallurgical ratio with metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns assumed to be 100%. On April 14th, 2009 Pan American Silver Corp. and Orko Silver announced that they have agreed to form a joint venture to develop the La Preciosa project. Pan American will contribute its demonstrated mine development expertise, as well as 100% of the funds necessary to develop and construct an operating mine, in consideration for a 55% interest in the joint venture.

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.

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.

Rusoro Mining has come to the conclusion that gold may be worth a lot of money. The company was formed in 2006 when Grupo Agapov took over a software company called Newton Ventures and changed its name. Rusoro since then has bought several mining properties in Venezuela from the likes of Gold Fields and Hecla Mining. (In 2008 it also tried but failed to buy Gold Reserve.) Rusoro now operates two producing mines and two mills; it also owns other properties in the development stage. All of these properties are located in Venezuela's gold-rich Bolivar state. The company controls more than 2 million ounces of proved and probable reserves.

Coalcorp hopes Santa fills its stocking with many lumps. The coal miner's focus is its La Francia coal mine in Colombia, though it also owns other coal projects in the South American country. Coalcorp produces about 2 million tons each year. The company also holds an interest in Ferrocarriles del Norte de Colombia, which runs a railroad from the Cesar region to Santa Marta, Colombia and a majority interest in another Colombian mining project. Coalcorp, which intends to grow through acquisitions, plans to increase its production to 6 million tons by 2010. In 2008 Pala Investments took a nearly 45% stake in Coalcorp.
