High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Thompson Creek Metals Company (TSX: TCM NYSE: TC) is a pure play molybdenum mining company, one of the world`s largest with two operating mines (which include processing facilities), five mines in the developmental stage and a central processing facility in Pennsylvania (Langeloth, Roasting (metallurgy)). More recently it expressed interest in diversifying its business by adding other types of minerals to its asset base; on July 15, 2010 the company made a significant move into the non molybdenum mining market by agreeing to a US$623.5 million deal that would give it copper and gold exploration company Terrane Metals Corporation (and with it the Mt. Milligan project in BC). Although the deal for Terrane Metals Corp was initially made in July it didn`t receive final court approval in British Columbia until September 27; the deal was completed on October 27, 2010 (52% of Terrane was purchased from Goldcorp). A third party has a ten year agreement with Thompson Creek to distribute and sell 20% of its products in Asia and Oceania effective January 2007. All operations are in the USA and Canada.
