ATH Resources is an AIM-listed operator of surface coal mines and has mines in production in East Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway and Fife. The Company is one of the largest producers of coal in the UK producing 2 million tonnes per annum. Coal was used to generate 36 per cent of the UKs electricity in 2008 and the Company holds coal supply contracts with three of the UK's main electricity generating companies. The Group commenced operations in 1998 when it acquired the rights to operate (and subsequently acquire) the Skares Road mine. The Garleffan mine was acquired in November 2003 and ATH Resources became a public company in June 2004 when it listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). In June 2005 the Group funded two new surface sites, Grievehill and Glenmuckloch in Scotland for 18 million by way of an Open Offer to shareholders. The acquisition increased the Group's coal reserve base by 160% and provided greater diversity to the business. In May 2006 the Group acquired Doncaster-based A Ogden & Sons Limited a successful coal recovery, land remediation and regeneration business with a particular focus on colliery spoil heap reclamation projects. In July 2010, the Group sold the assets of ATH Regeneration Ltd, the proceeds of which could total some £17m over a seven year period comprising £6.5m in cash on completion plus royalties. The assets were sold to RecyCoal Ltd, a newly formed company that is funded by a substantial investment fund and its partners and has amongst its shareholders Tom Allchurch and Steven Beaumont, who at that time were the Group's Chief Executive and Finance Director respectively. In October 2006, following a successful planning application the Group commenced work on its new Laigh Glenmuir surface mine in East Ayrshire and obtained further consent to extract 800kt from an extension into Duncanziemere land in June 2010. Planning permission was also granted to extract up to 4 million tonnes of coal from the company's Netherton site near Cumnock, East Ayrshire in June 2010. This site is located close to the company's Skares Mine and work is due to start in the Autumn and will ultimately employ up to 110 personnel directly. In addition to its operating mines, the Group also has a number of other coal mining projects in Scotland and two through its French subsidiary, SRMMC including a series of six existing coal concessions in south-central France, covering an area of 36km, 2 with an estimated resource of approximately 4.5 million tonnes of recoverable coal.

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.
