Globe says Afghanistan too hot for Quadra, Friedland Quadra FNX Mining Ltd (C:QUX) Shares Issued 188,530,800 Last Close 6/14/2010 $12.55 Tuesday June 15 2010 - In the News Also Ivanhoe Mines Ltd (C:IVN) In the News The Globe and Mail Published reports in its Tuesday edition that Afghanistan may be sitting on an estimated $1-trillion (U.S.) in untapped mineral deposits, but Canadian miners are happy to let others take the lead in developing the discoveries. Brenda Bouw and Andy Hoffman write not only is Afghanistan one of the world's most war-ravaged countries, but there is also the issue of how to transport commodities out of the landlocked country. "The risk is too high, regardless of the quality of the ore bodies," said Paul Blythe, chief executive officer of copper producer Quadra FNX Mining. The mineral discoveries were made by Washington to help Afghanistan develop its economy. According to the Pentagon, iron accounts for almost half of the country's estimated mineral value, or $420-billion (U.S.). Copper comes second, with about $273-billion (U.S.). A New York Times article on the discovery quotes a Pentagon memo stating Afghanistan could become the "Saudi Arabia of lithium," a material used in cellphone batteries. Veteran mining promoter Robert Friedland is unconvinced about the potential for mining in Afghanistan. "Hopeless," Mr. Friedland said in an e-mail. "Lithium is common as chips." ? 2010 Canjex Publishing Ltd.
