Profile (per 2013 10-K Filing):   We are a vertically integrated company in China which develops, designs, manufactures, markets and distributes low cost, high quality refined copper products including copper anode, copper rod, pure superfine copper wire, and copper-clad aluminum superfine wire (“CCA”), which is an alternative to pure superfine copper wire. We also use recycled scrap copper as a raw material to produce refined copper products including copper anode and copper rod.  Copper anode is the raw material for copper cathode, which is the fundamental building block for pure copper products. We use the copper rod we produce as raw material for the production of pure copper wire. Primarily because of its high electrical conductivity, pure copper wire is used in many components in a wide variety of motorized and electrical appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves and automobiles. In most instances, our CCA wire and refined copper rod and wire products are an excellent, less costly substitute for pure copper cable and wire products.

We sell copper anode primarily to a few large copper cathode producers in China. We sell our rod and wire products to down stream manufacturers including fine and superfine wire processors and small and micro electronic motor manufacturers who in turn sell to the consumer electronics, white goods, automotive, utility, telecommunications and specialty cable industries. Our track record and reputation for producing high quality products in large quantities has paved the way for expansion of our customer base. In the PRC, the market for copper products is large and growing. As a result, there is solid demand for all of our products. Essentially all of our product sales are made to domestic customers in the PRC.
