Concurrently with the IPO, Detour Gold acquired the Detour Lake property, which host the former Detour Lake mine that produced 1.8 million ounces of gold. In just over three years, the Company has drilled over 400,000 metres of drilling and completed a feasibility study.The Detour Lake deposit is now Canada's largest undeveloped gold reserve with 11.4 million ounces. The positive results of the feasibility study confirmed the Detour Lake deposit as a future significant gold producer with an average annual gold production of 649,000 ounces over a mine life of 16 years. The Company plans to start mine development by late 2010, subject to obtaining receipt of Provincial permits and finalizing Aboriginal agreements. With gold production expected to commence in early 2013, Detour Lake will be among the largest gold operations in North America.

Prize Mining Corporation company has begun a 10,000 tonne bulk sampling program on its current focus, the Atlin Gold Property, located in northwestern British Columbia.

In early 2007, with gold prices way up and production expected to begin shortly, The company took on the name Atlanta Gold Inc.

Since the original Utah Copper Company began mining the low-grade copper ore in Bingham Canyon, the mine has become a huge open-pit that has produced more copper than any mine in the world, is one of the engineering marvels of the world, and is more than ¾ of a mile deep and more than 2 ¾ miles wide at the top. And it is still growing. Known as “The Richest Hole on Earth” it has yielded more than 18.1 million tons of copper metal, plus significant by-products gold, silver and molybdenum. Ore from the Mine is transported by a five-mile conveyor to the Copperton Concentrator where the rock containing about 0.6 percent copper is crushed and ground to face powder consistency before passing through a chemical flotation process where 28-percent copper concentrate is separated from molybdenite concentrate, which is packaged and sold to steel producers. Seventeen miles to the north, the state of the art Utah Copper Smelter processes the copper concentrate to produce 720-pound copper plates called anodes for use in the nearby Refinery. The copper is now 99.6 percent pure. In the Refinery, the anodes are alternated with thin stainless steel cathode blanks in horizontal tanks filled with liquid electrolyte into which an electric current creates the chemical electrolysis process. Electrolytic refining produces two, 280-pound copper cathodes from each anode during a 10-day period. Cathodes are 99.99 percent pure copper. Impurities and precious metals that settle in the bottom of the tanks, are collected and refined at the Precious Metals Plant.

From the early days in 1965 to the present, Eastern Alloys has developed and implemented a series of programs, or tools, to support the marketplace. The business was founded upon the notion that customer success would provide the energy and impetus to drive the company's growth. By any measure that business model has succeeded. Today, Eastern Alloys operates two discrete manufacturing and recycling facilities: the flagship plant in Maybrook, NY, and Eastern Alloys of Kentucky, LLC, in Henderson, KY. Dedicated in April 2000, the Kentucky plant is the newest, most technologically advanced zinc alloy complex ever constructed.Today, businesses in all industries are faced with making hard decisions that will impact future performance, in some case survivability. Everything is in play, everything. Some part of the solution is simple, at least from a philosophical perspective. Different results are the reciprocal of different actions, or inputs. To continue the same practices only assures the same results. So then, success is about making choices.For every manufacturer of zinc alloy die castings, large or small, zinc alloy is typically one of the largest, if not the single largest cost component when measured as a percent of cost of goods sold. So it follows that selecting a supplier is serious business, especially in today's environment. In addition to raw materials, a zinc alloy supplier must be able to deliver the necessary services, information, and support that contribute materially towards its customers' success. To just ship a truck filled with raw material and mail an invoice falls short of the mark. Suppliers of die castings are being pressed to find ways to remove or reduce cost. In this context suppliers must become strategic trading partners. Selecting a supplier of zinc alloy is at least as serious as choosing a bank, business consultant, die casting machine builder, or tool maker, perhaps more so.For 37 years, Eastern Alloys has sought to develop innovative solutions to benefit the North American zinc die casting industry. Early programs include ZA Alloy development, including providing industry-wide access to ZA trademark rights. Other programs include what was originally known as the Australian Die Casting Technology Transfer program continuing today as Low Mass Technology. Eastern took the lead in market development supporting the IZA's Marketing Conference series for manufacturers of zinc die castings. Eastern was a founding member of Interzinc, a zinc-specific marketing consortium. Importantly, under the leadership of Richard J. Bauer, Eastern's founder and Chairman, the company rallied the Washington Conference for Zinc, not once but twice, to thwart an attempt to include zinc in Super Fund legislation.More recently, Eastern Alloys has expanded its customer-centric improvement engineering program developing user-friendly PQ2 EA software. At the 21st NADCA Congress & Exposition the company introduced ZinCalc, a program designed to assist die casters improve 1st pass material efficiency. Plus, the improvement engineering group continues working closely with customers and end-users to improve in-plant performance and develop new applications for zinc alloys. Because the business of buying and selling zinc alloys is not without risk, Eastern has developed a formal Price Risk Management facility available to every customer. To that end Eastern was elected a member of the London Metal Exchange earlier in the year. Each business day the company is connected to the world's metals and financial centers via real-time satellite down link. Add to that the company's comprehensive Market Development, Strategic Market Planning, and Supply Chain Management programs, Eastern Alloys delivers expansive resources to drive customer growth.
