Copper is non-magnetic, non-sparking and non-bacterial. Because it is low in the reactivity series, it is slow to corrode. With medium strength and high fatigue resistance, copper and its alloys are primary metals for electrical applications.

The Mosaic Company Reports First Quarter Results

NET EARNINGS UP 77 PERCENT TO $526 MILLION

EARNINGS PER SHARE UP 75 PERCENT TO $1.17

MOS, Mosaic Co.

The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) reported first quarter fiscal year 2012 net earnings of $526 million, up 77 percent from $298 million in the prior year quarter.

"We just completed another excellent quarter for Mosaic," said Jim Prokopanko, president and chief executive officer of Mosaic. "Strong agricultural markets combined with our strength in execution are leading to excellent financial results, including the second highest gross margin for a first quarter in our history.

"Our confidence in the long-term demand prospects for our products remains high.
