Harsco Issues Correction to Published News Report Regarding Balkans Region Copper Project; Says Agreement Has Not Been Reached

Global industrial solutions company Harsco Corporation

today issued a correction to a published news report on the Internet that erroneously reported the Company's involvement in the potential construction and operation of a Balkans-region copper by-products processing plant. "While Harsco is indeed expanding our market-leading services into other metals-related sectors, this published report is simply premature," said Harsco Metals & Minerals Group CEO Galdino C. Claro. "The fact is that Harsco is in discussions with potential partners regarding future growth opportunities throughout the world. In this specific case, no agreement has yet been reached and Harsco's ultimate level of involvement has yet to be determined. As with all major new initiatives, should something materialize, we will issue an announcement at the appropriate time."
