Executive Summary
VANE Minerals plc was founded by the former international exploration team of Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., one of the world?s largest producers of copper and gold. The team negotiated exclusive access to Freeport McMoRan?s global exploration database, made up of 7,000 plus files generated over nearly 100 years of exploration and, following the review of these files, VANE is ideally placed to capitalise on project acquisition opportunities. The Company has assembled a highly qualified and experienced management team with a proven track record in exploration and development, who have spent their entire careers searching for and defining large scale mineral deposits. The Company?s principal objective, as set out at the time of its listing in June 2004, is to be a self-funding exploration company. As such, the initial focus has been to identify high grade gold-silver projects which can be brought into production as quickly as possible in order to provide revenue towards funding the development of potentially much larger projects. VANE is well on its way to achieving this objective as production began at the Diablito mine in Mexico in November 2005. The Company will use the revenue generated by this first producing mine to help fund development work across its attractive portfolio of gold, silver, copper and uranium assets in Mexico, Paraguay and the US.
