Aura Minerals is a Canadian-based company focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold and base metal projects in the Americas. Aura Minerals’ portfolio includes three producing mines, the San Andres Gold Mine located in La Union, Honduras and the Sao Francisco and Sao Vicente gold mines, located in north western Brazil. In total, the Company’s portfolio contains over 1.5 million ounces of proven and probable gold reserves. Gold production from these three mines is expected to average approximately 220,000 ounces annually. Aura Minerals’ portfolio also includes advanced-stage development and pre-production projects. The wholly owned Aranzazu Project, located in Zacatecas State, Mexico, is the most advanced of these projects and hosts a large copper resource with significant concentrations of gold and silver. Aura Minerals plans to restart the Aranzazu Project in 2010, and is focused on a staged expansion to deliver production growth. A significant exploration program will also be conducted to increase the confidence level of the current resource classification and to expand the large resource base. The feasibility-stage Serrote Deposit at the Arapiraca Project, located in Alagoas State, Brazil, is also in development. The Arapiraca Project hosts a large resource in the main Serrote Deposit, which was the subject of a Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2009. The Preliminary Economic Assessment demonstrated that the Serrote Deposit would provide strong economic returns in an area of excellent infrastructure in Brazil, one of the world's most favourable mining jurisdictions. Aura Minerals completed all work required for the environmental permit in 2009, and Aura Minerals has now been granted an Installation License for the Serrote Deposit; this is the last major permit required, which allows Aura Minerals to proceed to the construction stage. In 2010, exploration targets near the Serrote Deposit will also be explored to add to the resources and economics at the Arapiraca Project. Moving forward, Aura Minerals will continue to engage in strategic activities that demonstrate the Company’s commitment to responsible and sustainable growth. The Company’s focused growth strategy is underpinned by a production platform of approximately 220,000 ounces of gold from its three gold mines, strengthened by copper, gold and silver production from the Aranzazu Project beginning in mid-2010. Aura Minerals’ experienced management team, strong financial position and attractive portfolio of diversified projects will continue to strengthen the Company’s position as a mid-tier gold producer.

In 2010 Norsk Hydro agreed to buy the Brazilian aluminum operations of Vale SA in a $5 billion deal. You may find the oil business fascinating, but Norsk Hydro no longer has any interest in the industry. Until 2007 its operations were divided more or less equally between aluminum and energy products. Norsk Hydro is now focused almost exclusively on its aluminum operations, which are strong throughout Asia, Europe, and North and South America, and rank among the world's top five, along with the likes of Rio Tinto Alcan, RUSAL, and Alcoa. In 2006 it combined its energy operations with Norwegian state-owned Statoil, though it still owns a small energy business with 17 hydroelectric power stations in Norway.

Mediterranean Resources Ltd (TSX -- MNR) is developing four projects located along the 12 kilometre Yusufeli Property in northeastern Turkey. Current NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for the Tac and Corak projects, 8 km apart, total 1.58 million ounces gold Indicated and 0.29 million ounces Inferred. These estimates, completed in April 2009 by SRK Consulting are constrained within Whittle pit shells, providing a materially enhanced level of confidence in the economic potential of the Yusufeli Property. The new resource estimates demonstrate that both Corak and Tac are amenable to open-pit mining with a reasonable assumption of economic viability.To date, less than 20% of the 100 square kilometre Yusufeli Property has received drill exploration, and several targets remain to be addressed. In December 2008 MNR announced initial drilling results from the Celtik project area, located at the eastern end of the Yusufeli Trend. Assays from three holes confirmed a significant new discovery at Celtik, with multiple intercepts from surface to 314 metres. An intercept of 18.4 metres assayed 6.51 g/t gold and 0.9% copper.MNR acquired the Corak and Tac properties from Teck in 2005, and currently controls these core areas under a mining license. Acquisition of contiguous areas has been conducted by obtaining new exploration licenses. The properties are well serviced by roads, water and access to power, providing for highly cost-effective exploration. To date, exploration costs have averaged less than $8 per ounce. As well, Turkey's modernized mining code and permitting process provide attractive incentives to exploration ventures, including rebates on expenditures.MNR's plans for 2009 include 6,000 metres of diamond core drilling to an average depth of 300 metres at Corak and Tac to upgrade and expand resources within the new pit shell modeling, and a drill program to follow up on the significant new discovery at Celtik.
