Craig Yarde founded Yarde Metals Inc. in 1976 when he established a small office in the basement of his home in Bristol, CT and began brokering metal over the phone with $1000 from the sale of his motorcycle! The phones seldom rang and were usually answered by his wife or his three year old daughter. Metal orders were picked up and delivered by family members in his station wagon. Craig partnered with his brother, Bruce Yarde, the following year and moved into a small rented factory on South Street in Bristol, CT. In 1986, Yarde Metals moved to an 85,000 square foot facility to accommodate the growing product line, services and sales. The company quickly outgrew this space and moved to a completely renovated state of the art 500,000 square foot facility in Southington, CT in June of 2003. Our corporate headquarters is more like a museum than a distribution warehouse and its unique style supports Craig's out-of-the-box business philosophy that has facilitated his success. Yarde Metals now has nine service centers in addition to its corporate headquarters. They are located in: Albany, New York; Happauge, New York; Syracuse, New York; Pelham, New Hampshire; High Point, North Carolina; Streetsboro, Ohio; Limerick, Pennsylvania; Mendon, Massachusetts;. Yarde Metals has expanded internationally throughout Europe and Asia and processes the majority of international business through our Happauge, New York facility as well as our corporate headquarters. We have representatives in Korea and China to help support our international sales business.

Avalon Rare Metals Inc. (TSX:AVL)(OTCQX:AVARF) is a mineral exploration and development company focused on the rare metal deposits in Canada. Its flagship project, the 100%-owned Nechalacho Deposit, Thor Lake, Northwest Territories, is emerging as one of the largest undeveloped rare earth elements resources in the world. Its exceptional enrichment in the more valuable ‘heavy' rare earth elements, key to enabling advances in green energy technology and other growing high-tech applications, is one of the few potential sources of these critical elements outside of China, currently the source of over 95% of the world supply. Avalon is well funded, has no debt and its work programs are progressing steadily. Social responsibility and environmental stewardship are corporate cornerstones. Avalon presently owns five rare metals and minerals projects in Canada, four of which are at advanced stages of development. These are: Nechalacho, Thor Lake, Northwest Territories, a rare earth elements ("REE") project in the pre-feasibility stage, Separation Rapids (lithium) in Ontario, Warren Township in Ontario (calcium feldspar project, currently inactive pending resolution of permitting issue), and East Kemptville, Nova Scotia, a tin-indium-gallium-germanium project where large inferred resources have been identified requiring further drilling to bring the project to the pre-feasibility stage.

Deutsche Steinkohle is Germany's Old King Coal. The operating subsidiary of Germany's RAG Aktiengesellschaft, Deutsche Steinkohle (DSK) is the country's largest coal mining company. Its coal is used primarily for steel production and power generation. DSK operates seven mines in NorthRhine-Westphalia, one in the Saarland, and a coking plant in NorthRhine-Westphalia. RAG and Deutsche Steinkohle are owned by the state-run RAG Foundation, which was set up to oversee the dissolution of the German coal industry. The German government decided in 2007 that economic and environmental conditions make it infeasible to continue coal production in the country going forward, and so the industry will wind down by 2018.

Anglo American's name might be a little misleading -- it's never been American. The UK-based company owns significant stakes in global producers of platinum (75% of Anglo Platinum) and diamonds (45% of De Beers S.A.). In addition, Anglo American has interests in ferrous and base metals and industrial minerals; it also is among the world's largest coal miners. Anglo American has spent much of the decade reorganizing its portfolio and has narrowed its focus. Though it used to have a majority stake in AngloGold Ashanti, Anglo American divested its remaining shares in 2009. The founding Oppenheimer family no longer controls Anglo American, though Nicky Oppenheimer, who chairs De Beers, sits on the board.
