The order, worth 18.4 billion euros, beats last year’s record order for 230 Boeing planes, also from Lion Air.

Lion, now a major airline in Indonesia, started up 13 years ago. The two orders, once fulfilled, would put the airline in the world's top ten by number of aircraft. Lion currently has just 92 Boeing planes, which fly mainly within Indonesia but also to Saudi Arabia.

The two drill holes in question are 185 metres apart and were drilled from west to east intersecting the Director Vein structure. Both returned assay values of 80.12 percent CaF2 over 3.95 metres in hole DS-13-100 and 51.94 percent CaF2 over 13.39 metres in hole DS-13ÔÇÉ101.

The Pilbara’s red earth, splendid scenery and vast extent combine to create the image of Australia that has caught the imagination of generations. The top-left corner of Western Australia is home to a population that has inhabited it continuously for over 40,000 years; to them it is a very precious landscape.

Soda ash is perhaps better known as sodium bicarbonate, and it is a substance with a very large number of applications and uses. Far from being just an antacid that one can take to counteract dyspepsia after a night out, it can be used as a regular food additive, giving sherbet its fizz and noodles their texture. It is also used in baking, photography, as a degreaser, a water softener or a fixative for dyes.

The Turkish economy grew in a highly protectionist mould for more than half a century following the foundation of the modern republic after World War 1. However, in 1983 Prime Minister Turgut Özal initiated a series of reforms designed to shift the economy toward a more private sector, market-based model and since then many former state-owned enterprises have been privatised. One of Turkey’s largest integrated mining and beneficiation company’s is Eti, which has a number of subsidiary units responsible for several mining activities throughout Turkey.

Boasting a proven track record for producing quality products that meet the needs of the market, Turkey is recognised throughout the world as a major player in steel production and exportation. Over the last several decades the country has experienced consistent growth within its steel sector, expanding exponentially to the point where, in 2012, it was ranked as Europe’s second largest crude steel producer and eight in the world ranking of steel-producing countries.
