OTHER EVENTS

Atlas Minerals Inc. announced a plan for Atlas Minerals Inc. to spin-off to its shareholders its approximately 28.2% interest in APMI. The spin-off will be in the form of a dividend with a record date of September 5, 2003 (“Record Date”).

Under the spin-off, the Company will distribute to its shareholders as a dividend all of the shares of APMI common stock held by the Company. Based on the Company’s outstanding shares at July 31, 2003, each share of Atlas Minerals stock would receive one APMI share. The above notwithstanding, the actual distribution ratio could be lower as it will be determined based upon the number of shares outstanding as of the record date for the dividend.

See Press Release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
