Eric, there is a fortune to me made in the tar sands areas for ordinary gravel for road beds, foundations etc. Apparently there isn't any decent gravel available for hundreds of miles around most of the sites and it is a huge construction cost trucking it in from far away places...

I'm adding BMD.V. The limestone is needed for scrubbing and desulphurization, now more than ever as Canada signed Kyoto. The more oil is produced in the tar sands, the more limestone is needed. Current infrastructure to bring limestone in from miles away is clogged and thus expensive, making this on-site play attractive.

Also adding TIC.V, the titanium play.

Anyone know of any other oil sands metals plays?
