Director
Ut placet, inquit, etsi enim illud erat aptius, aequum cuique concedere. Sed mehercule pergrata mihi oratio tua. Beatus autem esse in maximarum rerum timore nemo potest. Quod totum contra est. Non igitur potestis voluptate omnia dirigentes aut tueri aut retinere virtutem. Ergo opifex plus sibi proponet ad formarum quam civis excellens ad factorum pulchritudinem? Sed ad bona praeterita redeamus. Ne amores quidem sanctos a sapiente alienos esse arbitrantur.

Copper and Gold – In the News
Articles on metals are hardly exciting news when compared to the gravitas of current events. Look a little closer into economic news, though, and metals never fail to make the headlines: metal shortages, discoveries of large metallic ore bodies, new applications for metal in micro-electronics, medicine, consumer goods. It is our intention to use this space to present news, events, announcements as they relate to gold and copper, two of the natural world’s greatest gifts to humankind.
