Fire River Gold Joins AGORACOM 100 With New TSX Venture Listing, 43-101 and Potential Gold, Copper, Silver Production

Posted by AGORACOM at 3:11 PM on Monday, November 16th, 2009

I am very pleased to announce that Fire River Gold Corp (FAU:TSXV) is the newest member of The AGORACOM 100 – and represents an extremely fresh opportunity for investors.  Why? The Company just listed on the TSX Venture Exchange on November 12 and has followed that up with an online investor relations program, which speaks volumes about the company’s confidence.  Why? When a company decides to make itself open and accessible to investors from around the world, you have to believe they are confident in their future and want to communicate accordingly.

As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact that Fire River is an AGORACOM client and that we have participated in this private placement.  As such, do your own diligence, which I am going to kick start by giving you the following overview and bullet point highlights:

FAST OVERVIEW

Fire River Gold Corp. completed its IPO at the end of May 2009 and is the newest member of the International Metals Group, (www.internationalmetalsgroup.com) giving it access to a well established team with over 100 years of experience working in Alaska. The primary focus of FAU is the exploration and development of gold projects in North America. The recently acquired Nixon Fork Gold Mine in Alaska has the potential to be a near term gold producer.  If the company can realize this potential, their timing couldn’t be better with gold trading north of $1,140 as of the time of this post.

The Company is presently negotiating additional advanced stage gold projects in North America. Management’s objective is to make FAU a North American gold producer in the next 18 months.

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

Nixon Fork Project:

  • Near Term Gold-Copper-Silver Producer
  • Fully Constructed 200+ tpd Mill
  • Permitted and Bonded
  • Turn-key Mining-Milling Operation
  • Mine Fully Permitted and Bonded
  • Significant Exploration Upside

Golden Zone Project:

  • NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource
    • 255,100 contained ounces of gold
    • 1.39 million ounces of silver
    • 7.29 million pounds of copper
  • 14 targets are identified
  • 2009 program in progress
  • Excellent infrastructure, road access to property, 12 miles from major highway and railroad, power nearby

New Dawn Mining Announces Record Monthly Gold Production, Marking 7 Consecutive Months Of Increasing Production

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:51 AM on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

(ND:TSX)

Some stories require a good pre-amble in order to insure that investors really understand the importance of a news release … this isn’t one of them.  Quite simply, the numbers speak for themselves.  New Dawn Mining is producing and selling gold at increasing levels every single month.  As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact that New Dawn Mining is an AGORACOM client.

Congratulations to Ian Saunders and his team for this continued success.  With gold breaking through $US 1,115 this morning, their production and sales timing could not be better.

Regards,
George

  • Gold production for October 2009 was 1,235 ounces or 38.42 kg’s, as compared to September 2009 gold production of 1,029 ounces or 32 kg’s, an increase of 20%

New Dawn Mining Reports Six Consecutive Months of Increased Gold Production

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:32 AM on Friday, October 16th, 2009

(ND:TSX)

AGORACOM Client, New Dawn Mining (ND:TSX) is the kind of junior gold company most investors dream about.  Yes, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact New Dawn is a client of AGORACOM – then take a look at the revenue and production numbers coming out of the company.  With September production numbers now in, the company has delivered 6 consecutive months of increasing gold production.  The company’s timing could not be better as gold bullion prices have started to hit their stride in 2009 and are currently sitting within a few dollars of their all-time high.

In addition, New Dawn recently announced the implementation of a program to increase annual gold production to approximately 23,000 ounces by Q3 2011 and, beyond that, 35,000 – 50,000 ounces.  That would be a significant increase from its current annual run rate of 14,000 ounces.

To this end, New Dawn recently reported that gold production at its Turk Mine in Zimbabwe for September 2009 was 1,029 ounces or 32 kg’s, as compared to 1,019 ounces or 31.7 kg’s produced in August 2009.

Highlights Include:

  • Gold sales for September 2009 were US$965,900 at US$988 per ounce average gold price
  • At September 2009 month-end, an additional 733 ounces or 22.8 kg’s ofgold were awaiting export for sale in South Africa, which will be included in October 2009 sales
  • 100% of gold sales were received in US Dollars
  • September 2009 marks the 6th consecutive month of increased gold production

Jim Rogers “Commodities Cycle Won’t Be Over For Years”. Gold Is Good, Agricultural Commodities Better

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:48 AM on Monday, October 12th, 2009

As you all know, the AGORACOM blog has been a big fan of Jim Rogers since we began publishing, so when he speaks, we listen.  Rogers was featured on Yahoo Monday morning and had some interesting comments on commodities that go far beyond gold.  I’d give you the highlights but I would be doing you a disservice by not directing you to watch the entire 5-minute video.

For those of you who simply don’t invest in commodities and don’t have the time to buy or expertise to buy sugar futures, physical gold, etc do not despair – Rogers advises that ETF’s are the best way to go for most investors.  To this end, he is most bullish on agricultural commodities.

Grab a cup of coffee, kick your feet up and watch the following:

More Than 1M Ounces Of Gold In 43-101 For AGORACOM Client – La Mancha Resources (LMA:TSX)

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:45 AM on Thursday, September 10th, 2009

First VMS 43-101 Resource Shows More Than 1 Million Ounces of Gold at La Mancha’s Hassai Property

La Mancha is an AGORACOM client, so assume that I am horribly conflicted and do your own due diligence. I personally love to see 43-101 news from anybody, not just AGORACOM clients, because it is a strict guideline for how public companies can disclose scientific and technical information about mineral projects on bourses supervised by the Canadian Securities Administrators.  In short, it makes it near impossible to sprinkle gold on your property and pull of a scam.

Here are some of the highlights of today’s release, which you should also read in its entirety.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 1,006,000 ounces of gold (402,400 oz attributable to La Mancha)
  • 297,000 tonnes of copper (118,800 tonnes attributable to La Mancha)
  • Confirmation of an enriched supergene zone at the top of the structure
  • Resource remains open at depth
  • La Mancha reaffirms its target of growing its consolidated M&I resources to 4 million ounces of gold within the next few years

ABOUT THE HASSAI MINE

The Hassai mine is located in the Red Sea Hills desert of northeastern Sudan, some 450 km from Khartoum. Inaugurated in 1992, it is Sudan’s first and only gold mine in production. Twelve pits have been mined over the years, generating a cumulative production of more than 2.1 million ounces of gold. La Mancha owns 40% of the mine through a subsidiary and is the mine operator. The Hassai exploration licenses effectively encompass the entire geological district that extends over 24,000 square kilometres. The Hassai mine exploration budget is expected to reach $6.44 million in 2009 ($2.57 million attributable to La Mancha), distributed among several gold targets (quartz, SBR and tailings) and VMS targets.

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:21 AM on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Conclusion:

Congratulations to President/CEO, Michel Cuilhé and his entire team for not only building a great company to this point – but for making La Mancha an open and accessible public company.  I have gone on the record with my statement that the best CEO’s of the next decade will be web driven.  Everything I have seen since that statement only further confirms it.

In the case of La Mancha, we have a company with great resources and already into production, with bigger plans ahead.  As such, it just makes sense for the company to get online and begin interacting with both current and prospective shareholders, with the goal of building a large and long-term shareholder community.

I’m very excited about La Mancha and looking forward to their progress into 2011 and beyond.  So should you.  To get up to speed on the company, here are some helpful links:

Fantastic news from our client, Arianne Resources, today. Arianne announced the much anticipated results of a resource estimate from its Lac a Paul phosphorus-titanium property, located in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec, Canada.
