American Colloid Company is a leading producer and supplier of high-quality Wyoming bentonites, North Dakota leonardites, and humic acid products. These products are highly beneficial to agriculture, agronomic and horticulture applications. In agriculture and horticulture our products are beneficial as flow control agents, animal feed pelletizing, and agricultural carriers. These products absorb liquid active herbicides and pesticides onto their surfaces that help to control dispersion rates, limit drift and leach ability as these products are applied to cropland. In agronomy these leonardite/humic acid products stimulate plant growth, improve the availability of nutrients and other trace minerals to plants. They improve soil properties such as aeration, permeability, water filtration, holding capacity and nutrient uptake. This is especially beneficial where rainfall and moisture retention are minimal.

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.
