- A standstill period is now in effect until January 31, 2009,

Completion of
the transaction contemplated in the LOI is subject to customary

plan to consolidate silver scrap recycling operations in North America.
Adding this location to the business we own in Pennsylvania and our
other acquisition in process will allow the consolidated company to
recycle and produce over 8 million ounces of silver annually. The
future consolidation of these three operations gives us a solid platform
for future organic and opportunistic growth."
