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.

Trade Winds Ventures Inc. is a Canadian based gold exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, trading under the symbol TWD. The Company’s primary focus is the advancement of its Detour Lake Block A and Gowest properties, located in the Abitibi Greenstone belt in Northeastern Ontario, a prolific gold mining region which has produced over 65% of Canada’s gold.Since 2004, Trade Winds has completed extensive diamond drilling programs of over 140,000 metres on the Block A and Gowest properties. An aggressive in-fill drill program is underway with the aim to increase the resource base and advance the project toward development of a stand alone open pit mine and mill operation.Recently, Trade Winds as operator, completed a NI 43-101 updated resource calculation on the 50/50 Block A Joint Venture with Detour Gold Corporation at Detour Lake. The global resource calculation included an in-pit gold resource of 1.2 million ounces in the indicated category and 277,000 ounces in the inferred category. The total global resource on the Company's Block A and Gowest properties is in excess of four million ounces gold at a cutoff grade of 0.5 g/t.In addition, Trade Winds owns a 100% interest in the Dardanelle gold and Treasure Mountain copper properties in British Columbia.

Welcome to Hoeganaes, iron powder manufacturing. Hoeganaes specializes in powder metallurgy, and as the world’s leader in the production of ferrous powders, has been certified by DNV under the ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality management system and the ISO 14001 Environmental management system.Hoeganaes has fueled that growth with successive waves of technology which have expanded the use of prealloyed metal powders for a wide variety of applications. While the single largest application for ferrous powders is in the production of pressed and sintered parts, Hoeganaes serves a diverse set of industries, including casting, brazing, photocopy, chemical, EMI shielding and metallurgical applications. Hoeganaes commenced operations in Riverton, New Jersey in 1953.Hoeganaes creates high quality iron and steel powders, which are important raw materials in the creation of structural parts, filters and bearings. The manufacturing of these parts is accomplished through the powder metallurgy process consists of taking iron powders such as Ancorsteel 1000 and mixing them with graphite, alloys and lubricants.The metal powder mixture is then transferred to a die cavity and compacted to the desired shape. Compacting pressures for ferrous powders range from 415 to 690 MPa (30 to 50 tsi). The as-compacted part is called a “green” compact, which is sintered in a controlled atmosphere furnace in order to metallurgically bond the metal particles to each other. Some parts are used in the as-sintered condition but many are subjected to secondary operations such as sizing, tumbling, heat treatment, or machining.

Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation is one of the world’s leading silver companies and is also a significant gold producer, with three new long-life precious metals mines brought on line over the last two years. In 2010, Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation Company expects to produce 17.3 million ounces of silver and 170,000 ounces of gold with rapidly rising metal sales and operating cash flow. Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation Company began the year with record reserve levels of 269 million silver ounces. Coeur has a strong Latin American presence, having completed its first full year of production at its large new silver mine - San Bartolomé in Bolivia – and will have its first full year of production in 2010 at its newest operation – the Palmarejo silver/gold mine in Mexico. Production also recently began at the world's newest pure gold mine, Coeur's 100% owned Kensington Gold Mine in Alaska. Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation Company also holds 100% operating interest and exploration rights at underground mines in southern Argentina and one surface mine in Nevada; and owns a non-operating interest in a low-cost mine in Australia. Coeur also recently began production at its 100%-owned Kensington gold mine in Alaska, and conducts exploration activities in Alaska, Argentina and Mexico.Coeur common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CDE, the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CDM, and its CHESS Depositary Interests are traded on the Australian Securities Exchange under symbol CXC.

Gold Summit is actively looking at existing small discoveries in addition to adding shareholder value through exploration, prior to pre-development. The company’s preferred targets are high grade gold/silver deposits that would eventually be mined by underground methods. To maximize chances of exploration success, acquisition of whole districts with multiple targets is preferred. Within those districts, high quality geological mapping, rock and soil sampling as well as evaluation of work by previous explorers define drilling targets. Careful selection of these for testing is the key to success.Gold Summit explores in several favorable gold geological environments in the United States. The company’s main emphasis is Nevada, the third largest gold producing area in the world. It is a mining friendly state with a manageable regulatory framework, excellent infrastructure and year round access. Gold Summit’s geologists have worked there for the past 30 years.

(proven and probable). The mine is currently being developed by partners Barrick Gold Corporation and Goldcorp Inc.Unigold’s strategy is to target bulk tonnage, open-pittable, oxide gold deposits with a goal to finding a deposit equivalent in size to the world class Pueblo Viejo Gold Mine in the Dominican Republic.The next round of drilling on Los Candelones is designed to outline higher grade zones, confirm the mineralization continuity on the sulphide zones as shown by the IP and to define the easily accessible 15-30m thick oxide cap 15-35m above and surrounding the sulphide mineralization.Unigold will also drill test several of the new showings discovered on the Neita property.Unigold will continue to expand the reach of the field exploration program on its extensive Dominican properties. Exploration upside remains very strong with certain remote regions remaining largely untouched.With Unigold’s reconnaissance license in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the company is actively pursuing opportunities in the Middle East and is committed to developing a strong asset base and/or partnership in the region.
