Gladstone Pacific Nickel Limited (GPNL) is a dynamic publicly-listed, Australian mining development company, which is establishing a US$3.65 billion long-life, nickel and cobalt refinery at the Gladstone State Development Area (GSDA) in Central Queensland, Australia. GPNL is planning to build the refinery at the deepwater Port of Gladstone, treating high-grade nickel laterite ores from New Caledonia and other south-west Pacific Islands, underpinned by beneficiated ores from its own Marlborough deposits.

Initially as Stage 1, the Project is looking to produce some 63,000 tonnes of nickel and 5,000 tonnes of cobalt per annum. GPNL’s Feasibility Study for Stage 1 of the Project (completed 2008) shows US$538 million profit after tax and interest in first year of full production. The Gladstone Nickel Project (GNP) will comprise of; a high pressure acid leach (HPAL) plant and metal refinery in the Yarwun Precinct of the GSDA; nickel mines and loadout/shipping facilities in New Caledonia and potentially other south-west Pacific islands; ore importation facilities at the Port of Gladstone; a modern nickel mine at Marlborough with ore railed to the refinery at Gladstone; and a long-term residue storage facility located in the Aldoga Precinct of the GSDA

Established in 2004, Silver Wheaton has quickly positioned itself as the largest metals streaming company in the world. The company currently has fifteen silver purchase agreements and two precious metals agreements where, in exchange for an upfront payment, it has the right to purchase all or a portion of the silver production, at a low fixed cost, from high-quality mines located in politically stable regions.Forecast 2010 production, based upon the company's current agreements, is 22.2 million ounces of silver and 20,000 ounces of gold, for total production of 23.5 million silver equivalent ounces. By 2013, annual production is anticipated to increase significantly to approximately 38 million ounces of silver and 59,000 ounces of gold, for total production of over 40 million silver equivalent ounces. No ongoing capital expenditures are required to generate this growth and Silver Wheaton does not hedge its silver production.Silver Wheaton’s industry-leading growth profile is driven by a portfolio of world-class assets, including silver streams on Goldcorp’s Peñasquito mine in Mexico and Barrick’s Pascua-Lama project straddling the border of Chile and Argentina. The company’s unique business model creates significant shareholder value by providing considerable leverage to increases in the silver price while reducing the downside risks faced by traditional mining companies. Silver Wheaton has an experienced management team with a strong track record of success and is well positioned for further growth.

RAG is no ragtag operation. RAG company is Germany's largest coal producer, its mining operations managed through coal and coke company Deutsche Steinkohle. RAG operates seven coal mines and a coking facility, all in Germany. After several years of restructuring, RAG company has pared down significantly to just the coal operations. It is now controlled by the state-run RAG Foundation. In 2007 the German government announced that conditions in the country -- both economic and environmental -- made continuation of coal mining infeasible. And so the German coal industry will cease operations by 2018.
