Update on Cimbar Performance Minerals' Acquisitions and Other Activities
In April 2006, Cimbar Performance Minerals, Cartersville, Ga., acquired a barium sulfate processing facility in Houston from Halliburton. Cimbar previously operated this facility before Halliburton sold it in 2003 to United Minerals & Properties.
In June 2006, Cimbar Performance Minerals purchased the barium sulfate business from Dynatec, located in Marmora, Ontario, Canada. The Dynatec business has now been folded into all four of Cimbar's U.S. production plants.
