exploration that resulted in several producing mines including
Tantalum Mining Corporation in Canada, the Jabaluka Uranium Mine
in Australia, a tin mine in Cornwall, England, and three gold
producers in Indonesia. Since forming Diadem Resources Ltd. the
company has successfully explored and found a diversity of
resources in five countries including copper-nickel and zinc in
