Collègues,

With the deal with GMS regarding the smelters on Lodeve Space Port secured, as well as our own smelting facilities on Quillan increasing output I decided to expand our operations in the field of mining. Languedoc is a rich with mineral deposits system, both planetwise and in space, most especially with Molybdenum that is a useful metal in ship construction. As we are building up our own corporate fleet with recently acquired construction rights, we can both cheaply use our own mining vessels for the extraction of the ores to be subsequently used in construction of other ships, as well as armour upgrades, hull plates, and other various materials. Molybdenum can also be used in various heat-resisting alloys which we intend to test with our new Promethium and hybrid fusion-fission reactors. There are other intended use of Molybdenum in our operations that are currently deemed as corporate secret and will be disclosed to the personnel later on.

GMS is still a trusted partner to supply us with various ores, however the company is still struggling to deal with the post-war challenges while we aim to increase our presence on Languedocan market. Thus, it is crucial to be able to supply ourselves with the raw materials for construction and fabrication operations, at least to some extent.

Therefore, the further steps are to be undertaken:

1. the number of "Rock Badgers" among corporate vessels is to be increased for self-sufficient mining operations;
   
2. the number of Tournez, Courbe, and Plier spacecrafts with mining equipment is to be increased to support our transports;
   
3. Kerguelen has to be expanded for increased mining operations;
   
4. establish and cover the operation routes for mining and smelting operations;
   
5. conduct marketing research on sides possibly interested in the acquisition of raw materials directly from MAE.
   

I hope the directive is clear. I expect positive results thereon soon.
