At the outset of the establishment of CSC over thirty years ago, CSC pioneers and their fellow workers daringly adopted the 100% continuous casting production process which was considered to be the most up-to-date at the time, and later on decided that computerization of all operations was imperative. As a result of their decisions, CSC maintains certain international competitiveness whether it is privately owned or state-owned. Another comparative advantage CSC possesses is the valuable human resources that have been put through CSC employees are competent andwilling to make breakthroughs and innovations. They have all played major roles making CSC a role model in the steel business, and in its diversification programs.Entering its fourth decade and under the leadership of a management team headed by Chairman Chia-Juch Chang and President Y. C. Chen, on the domestic front CSC was instrumental in the integration of a number of activities among the local steel-related industries and set them on the right track of healthy development. On the international front, CSC aspires to have an impact on the global steel industry by fostering exchanges of steel production technology and establishing strategic cooperation. In addition, CSC hopes to play the part of an industry navigator by gathering resources from the society and people to promote the bio-tech and information industries.

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".

Monument Mining Limited (“Monument”) is a Canadian gold mining production and exploration company operating in Malaysia. The company's two 100% owned principal properties- Selinsing Gold Mine Project ("Selinsing") and Damar Buffalo Reef Prospect ("Buffalo Reef") - are located in Pahang State in the Central Gold Belt District in Malaysia, which is in the same district as the operating Penjom Mine and Raub Gold Mine.At the Selinsing Gold Mine Project Monument has developed an open-pit gold mine and 400,000 tons per annum capacity gold treatment plant. Currently the gravity circuit is in pre-commercial production pouring over 18,000 ounces of gold since October 2009, while the CIL circuit is in the final stages of commissioning. The annual production from the initially targeted 40,000 ounces is planned to be ramped up by twinning the mill to allow targeted annual gold production of between 75,000 and 80,000 ounces. Damar Buffalo Reef Prospect is an exploration project adjacent to the Selinsing land with a present estimated gold resource. The company completed two drill programs for 11,871 metres of reverse circulation drilling ("RC drilling"). The assay results announced show a positive outlook and confirm historic drill results. The company plans to extend the mine life at Selinsing through an ongoing exploration and drilling program at Damar Buffalo Reef. The property is a 3.2 kilometre adjacent extension to Selinsing that is mineralized over most of its length, based on drill results to date.The company will also be strategically advancing it's land position in Malaysia to significantly grow its shareholder's value.

Playfair is changing focus to concentrate in the near term on a new copper silver opportunity in the Seal Lake basin. Acquired, by 100% staking, in 673 claims covering 16,825 hectares in the Seal Lake area of Central Labrador. The property covers some 136 copper and copper-silver occurrences including 16 copper-silver showings and 9 copper silver prospects, all discovered mainly via prospecting in the 1950's. Almost all the showings and prospects occur within a consistent and laterally extensive stratigraphic interval - the basal gray shale of the Upper Adeline Island Formation. The copper-silver enriched Adeline Island Formation is believed to form a canoe shape, with the rock unit outcropping over an estimated area measuring about 33km long by up to 4.4km wide. Playfair's Seal Lake Copper Silver Project covers the entire mapped extent of the favourable sedimentary unit and its probable subsurface continuation. The mineralization and geology of this new project is similar to the Kupferschiefer type copper-silver deposits that are the focus of ongoing work at Hana Mining's Ghanzi property in Botswana.Playfair continues to believe that there is a strong case for an upcoming global Tungsten shortage. With four high-grade Tungsten deposits Playfair remains well positioned to take advantage of the expected upcoming global Tungsten shortage and associated Tungsten price increase.
