Virginia Energy Resources Inc. (TSX.V: VAE) is focused on the exploration and development of uranium, coal, gold and other minerals in North America. We are well financed and hold interests in advanced through early stage projects in Virginia, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Mexico and Labrador. The company explores on its own account and in joint venture with industry partners. The JV approach is a reflection of the high risk involved in exploration ventures, and is used as a method of increasing our exposure to discoveries while committing less funding. Virginia Energy is committed to grow shareholder value through investment in world-class projects in stable geopolitical regions.On July 21, 2009, Virginia Uranium Ltd. merged with Santoy Resources Ltd. to form Virginia Energy Resources Inc (VAE). The management team behind the new company is made up of highly experienced technical and financial professionals with a history of success in the discovery, development and operation of gold and uranium mines in North America, including the Eskay Creek, Snip and Brewery Creek gold mines in British Columbia and several uranium producers in Saskatchewan and the western USA.Virginia's most important asset is a 24% stake in the giant Coles Hill, Virginia uranium deposit. Through a first right of refusal on future financings, Virginia has the option to increase this investment as the project advances. As a major shareholder of TSX-listed Boss Power Corporation, Virginia also holds a 32.7% interest in the high-grade Blizzard uranium deposit in British Columbia. This asset has been damaged through a ban on uranium mining imposed by the Government of British Columbia, and Boss is seeking compensation for damages through a court action.The Company's most important and active exploration projects are its Murphy River and Hatchet River uranium properties in the Athabasca basin which are held in a 50-50 Joint Venture with Denison Mines Ltd., and its uranium properties in the Otish Basin of Quebec.

Nyrstar is a Belgian publicly-listed company, created on 31 August, 2007 by combining the zinc smelting and alloying operations of Zinifex (an Australian mining company) and Umicore (a Belgian materials technology company). We listed on the Euronext Brussels Stock Exchange on 29 October 2007.Our name, Nyrstar, is a combination of ‘nyr’, an old Norse word meaning new, and ‘star’ a leading light. For us, Nyrstar means a bright new star, brilliant and fresh.Our vision is to be the partner of choice in essential resources for the development of a changing world. Our strategic direction is to focus on the pursuit of value creation for our stakeholders through initiatives that improve and expand our existing assets whilst selectively pursuing opportunities in mining.The zinc we produce is most commonly used to protect steel from corrosion. It is used in a wide range of industries, the largest consumers being the construction and transport sectors.Nyrstar also produces significant quantities of lead. Lead and zinc are very much sister metals, tending to occur together geologically. Lead is mainly used to produce lead-acid batteries, used primarily in motor vehicles.Given the mineral nature of zinc and lead concentrates, when they are processed they produce a number of valuable by-products such as copper, gold, indium and silver. Sulphuric acid is another valuable by-product of the zinc smelting process.Nyrstar's plants are located close to its key customers and adjacent to major transport hubs to allow easy delivery of raw materials and distribution of finished products.
