The acquisition of Anglo Potash Limited was completed on 10 July 2008. This has given us full ownership of more than 7,000 square kilometres of highly prospective exploration permits in the immediate vicinity of existing major Saskatchewan potash mines. Potash will further enhance our diversification.

We increased our exploration and development activities in diamonds (Angola), potash (Canada) and titanium minerals (Mozambique).
