Claude, I don't agree that PAAS is expensive without DUKAT. It traded much higher before anyone had heard of DUKAT (I know - I bought them)and since then they have substantially increased their reserves and their output, even without the Russian millstone. IMO the Dukat deal has snowed the average investor and the other excellent assets have been forgotten. I do agree that the company is actually responsisble for this. They have allowed the focus to rest on Dukat and promoted it excessively in the early days of the deal.

Just got this, looks like the #1 name in solder to the electronics industry is Ready for the new solder: Here is your Next Technology Link From Alpha Metals! The Oatey Company and Alpha Metals have signed an exclusive license agreement for Oatey's Safe-Flo Lead-Free Alloy. Through this agreement, Alpha Metals will now be able to offer this alloy technology to the electronics industry as an important lead-free option. Oatey's technology covers a lead-free composition containing tin, silver, bismuth and copper. This composition range has been selected as the lead-free alloy of choice by several of the leading Japanese electronics companies. The Alpha Metals/Oatey agreement facilitates the use of this alloy around the world. A major concern of the Japanese electronics manufacturers was that this desired alloy composition would be limited in its use due to patent restrictions. However, through Alpha's position as the worldwide leader in the supply of materials to the electronic assembly industry, this alloy composition will be readily available on a worldwide basis. Additionally, Alpha Metals has the right to sublicense the technology to other suppliers of bar solder, cored wire solder, preforms, BGA spheres and solder paste for electronic applications. David Zerfoss, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alpha Metals, stated "our exclusive license agreement with Oatey further demonstrates Alpha's commitment to provide customers with lead-free solutions. The Oatey alloy is an extremely promising lead-free alternative that will be used in a full array of products. As the industry looks for lead-free soldering solutions, Alpha and it's Cookson Speedline partners are the leading resources for lead-free materials, equipment and process technology."
