Brady Mining Announces Name Change to US Synthetic Mining and Appoints

New Regional Sales Representative for Eastern United States

OREM, Utah, Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Brady Mining, leading

supplier of diamond roof-bolt products for underground mining

operations, today announced a name change to US Synthetic Mining. The

company also announced the appointment of Danny Price as a regional

sales manager for the eastern United States.

US Synthetic Mining will continue to support all existing customers,

operating under the US Synthetic Mining name. The goal of this change

is to leverage the engineering strengths and marketing outreach of US

Synthetic Corporation. US Synthetic Corporation is a leading supplier

of diamond technology for oil and gas drilling. The company is an

American manufacturing company founded in 1978. US Synthetic's

technology and engineering focus has made it the leader in

polycrystalline diamond products with extensive experience and

advanced diamond technologies for the mining and energy industries.

Due to its extreme hardness, wear resistance and thermal conductivity,

US Synthetic's diamond products are used in a wide range of

applications and are ideal for hard roof conditions in underground

mining and extreme operating conditions in other industries.

US Synthetic Mining will continue to advance the technology in

polycrystalline diamond tools for underground mining, including the

family of Viper HR vacuum roof-bolt bits. In addition to its current

technologies, US Synthetic is also conducting research and development

projects on other diamond applications in underground mining.

"As we continue to grow and to diversify our products within the

mining industry, we wanted to better identify our products with the

superior quality and technology built into US Synthetic products,"

said Russ Myers, Managing Director, US Synthetic Mining. "As we focus

on these growth opportunities, it also made sense to add a seasoned

mining professional to help us introduce the value created through

diamond technologies in new applications and in our Viper roof bits in

underground mining."

Price joins the US Synthetic team with more than 10 years of

experience in underground mining. Prior to his appointment at US

Synthetic, Price worked in underground and management positions at a

number of eastern mines. From his extensive experience in underground

mining, Price understands the challenges facing US Synthetic

customers, in reducing costs while accelerating the pace of coal

development and in dealing with unforgiving roof conditions that make

mining difficult and expensive. Danny is based in West Virginia and

will serve the eastern United States.
