RENO, NV--(Marketwire - May 8, 2008) - InsideMetals.com, an internet website that provides easy access to a detailed, value-added, WORLD VIEW of Gold Producer Stocks, Mineral Producer Stocks, and Junior Gold & Mineral Stocks, reported today that it has added four potash fertilizer producing stocks to its Mineral Producer Stocks section on the Insidemetals.com Gold & Minerals Shopping Mall.

This content area features metal and mineral producer stocks listed on U.S. and Canadian stock exchanges. Mineral Producer Stocks generate a majority of their revenue from non-precious metals resources such as base metals, fertilizer minerals, coal, uranium, diamonds, and industrial minerals.

The newly featured companies are described below as miners and manufactures of fertilizer minerals and specialty chemicals.

Compass Mineral International Inc.: listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is a leading producer of industrial minerals, including salt, sulfate of potash specialty fertilizer and magnesium chloride. On May 1, 2008, Compass Minerals announced that it intends to redeem $70 million in 12% Senior Subordinated Discounted Notes, due 2013 for approximately $74.3 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest on June 2, 2008, the first call date under the indenture.

"These four listed companies operate some of the largest, and best known potash and phosphate mines in the world," said InsideMetals.com editor, Mike Mapa.
