| Zoom's geological data examination and analyses reveals that these geographical areas are eminently suitable for cost-effective mining to harness the resources and apply it to the enormous and increasing infrastructure project requirements globally. Zoom group of companies have been involved in mining for over a decade, has developed deep experience and has superior expertise with a staff of geologists and engineers in metallurgy, mining, chemistry, and mechanical disciplines. The Zoom group is particularly focused in coal and iron-ore minerals due to market conditions and its database of new deposits in South and SE Asia. |

Coal This mineral is in extremely high demand due to the accelerating global power requirements. Although large deposits worldwide are available, the industry continues to experience shortages due to rising demand compounded by mining problems, logistics, and geo-political circumstances. Prices have been rising and coal spot price shot up to $140 per metric ton in early 2008, nearly doubling in about 6 months. Zoom has determined that Pakistan has an abundance of coal deposits, especially in the Sindh province. The coal seams are close to the surface and there maybe multiple mining options available – open-cast, short wall or slope type. Zoom believes that the excavation of these coal deposits will greatly ameliorate the strained power situation in Pakistan (less than 1% of Pakistan’s power generation uses coal as compared to nearly 40% worldwide) plus enable the country to export this mineral resource and garner valuable foreign exchange. This will spur further infrastructure expansion, boost the economy and uplift the quality of life of its citizens.

Iron-Ore This is also a highly prized mineral, whose prices have risen dramatically amidst the building boom in emerging major economies of the BRIC countries which also are the largest producers. Australia, the largest producer, exports its output primarily to China and Japan. India, the fifth largest producer, has become a net importer. Supply chain logistics are a major challenge in the developing economies, and massive scale is a requirement. This presents a viable opportunity for Zoom Group to parlay its comprehensive experience and expertise to prospect and excavate the mineral from such geographies. It also provides feedstock to the company for its extensive steel factories making sponge iron, pellets and billets, etc. |
