In addition, it will be one of the largest foreign direct investments in Turkey’s mining industry.The Company’s key competitive advantage over its peers is its proven and simple heap leaching process which produces a mixed hydroxide product at lower capital and operating costs than conventional forms of nickel laterite processing technologies.The Company's current projects are located in Turkey, the Philippines and Albania.In July 2010, European Nickel entered into a strategic partnership with Constantia Resources, a member of the Hunter Dickinson group through a two tranche, non-brokered private placement which will result in Constantia holding an interest of just under 30%. The first tranche will raise £3.36 million (approximately US$5 million). The second tranche, which is expected to take place within 30 days of the completion of the Çaldag project finance facility, will raise a further £36.7 million (approximately US$55 million). Hunter Dickinson has an exceptional track record in advancing mining projects through development and construction and on to operations. Their expertise will complement European Nickel’s management team and technological know-how to assist the successfully delivery of the Çaldag project.European Nickel also recently merged with Rusina to consolidate a global development pipeline that comprises of more than 1.3 million tonnes of nickel in reserves and resources. Following this merger, European Nickel were admitted to trading on the ASX in June 2010.

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.

A. Finkl & Sons Co. was founded in 1879 when German immigrant Anton Finkl developed a new kind of chisel to clean bricks from buildings destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire. In 1902, A. Finkl & Sons Co. moved to its present location on Chicago's Near North Side. From its simple beginnings, Finkl is now the world's leading supplier of forging die steels, plastic mold steels, die casting tool steels and custom open-die forgings, processing 100,000 tons of steel each year. Since the 1800s, Finkl has maintained a commitment to manufacture 100 percent of its products in Chicago. These products are distributed domestically and to more than 18 countries worldwide. Most people, however, will never come face-to-face with a Finkl product. Why? Because for the most part, we sell our products to other manufacturers -- plastic processors, die casting companies and closed-die forging plants -- who use Finkl steel in their manufacturing operations. Only when the ultimate in strength and durability is required, such as in large mining equipment, does Finkl steel become part of a finished product. With more than 100 patents to its credit, Finkl's steel formulations and steelmaking technologies set worldwide standards. Finkl's facilities are on the leading edge of technology, using the most automated processes in the world. In recognition of Finkl's product quality, Finkl was the first integrated steel manufacturer in America to receive ISO 9000 certification.
