VANE Minerals was founded by the former international exploration team of
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., one of the world's largest producers of
copper and gold. The Company has assembled a highly qualified and experienced
management team with a proven track record in exploration and development, who
have spent their entire careers searching for and defining large scale mineral
