    In dotay's marketplace of barite, customers always require stable and consistent supply sources. To meet this expectation, mine exploration is vitally important. Suppliers do not have stable resources of their own will eventually be driven out of the market. The belief resulted in a series of investments.
    In 1997, we established Guizhou JieXing Minerals Co., Ltd. to purchase and operate 6 mine sites around Fuquan County, Guizhou Province. Another mine aimed to secure more supply source is Chongqing Weijie Minerals Co., Ltd. which supplies about 40,000 to 50,000 tonnes of barite every year from its own mine sites. Featuring this mine is its superb white barite which can be used in the paint and chemical industries.
    In the future we will be moving aggressively to rightsize our investment in mining the resources of barite to meet the increasing and up-grading demand of the market. Meanwhile, rather than ignoring the abundant resource in our own place, we have over the years set up a multiform network to source supplies of high-grade materials in China. Supply sources from multiple directions, especially the heavy involvement in the production will enable us to remain flexible and competitive in the market we serve.
