VIDEO: Small-Cap Skype Interview – Donner Metals Talks $20M Financing And Zinc / Copper Mine Status

Posted by AGORACOM at 6:48 PM on Thursday, September 1st, 2011

I’m happy to present our latest installment of AGORACOM Via Satellite, a production in which we speak to management of small-cap companies that have just released important news to further discuss their developments for the benefit of shareholders and prospective investors.

The company we are talking with today is Donner Metals (DON:TSXV) ( HUB) ( WEBSITE ) and our guest is Dave Patterson, Chairman of Donner Metals. Given the number of times Patterson has appeared via video on AGORACOM over the last 18 months, It’s hard to argue with the fact that he is amongst the best small-cap executives when it comes to giving his shareholders and prospective investors in-depth corporate updates

DISCUSSING RECENT FINANCING, MINE STATUS, BASE METALS PRICES AND DWINDLING ZINC MINES

This summer has provided extreme macro volatility stemming primarily from sovereign debt issues in both Europe and the USA. As a result, small-cap companies across the board have taken a hit to their share prices as investors fled to safety, including cash. Donner has been no exception but Dave is here to set the record straight and let the market know that a recently completed financing has the company on schedule to be in production by Q1 2013 along with partner, Xstrata Zinc. Patterson believes the timing could not be better, as many major zinc mines will be coming off-line in and around the time Donner / Xstrata commence production.

If you believe in the future of base metals and their inevitable demand out of developing countries, then you should be continually conducting DD to find the next great small-cap base metals company. This Skype interview will go a long way towards beginning your DD on Donner Metals. So whether you’re a shareholder or prospective shareholder, grab your coffee, sit back and hit play.

Finally, as I have said all along, anytime an officer of a small-cap public company is willing to make himself available for a video interview about his company (let alone multiple interviews provided by Patterson), it sends me a strong signal about his confidence and outlook. After all, this is Web 2.0 and Skype interviews posted on blogs, forums and YouTube don’t go away.

* DISCLOSURE - Donner Metals is not a client of AGORACOM; AGORACOM has not received any payment for this interview; Neither AGORACOM nor its principals own shares in Donner Metals … but I am personally considering making long-term purchases.

Donner Metals Goes Beyond The Press Release In Video Interview About Latest Press Releases

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:49 PM on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

I’m happy to present to you the with our latest installment of “Beyond the Press Release”, a video interview featuring Donner Metals (DON:TSXV) Chairman, Dave Patterson, discussing the significance of the Company’s last two press releases in layman’s terms for the benefit of retail investors.

The two press releases are as follows:

September 2, 2010: Donner Metals Receives A Positive Feasibility Study For The Bracemac-McLeod Deposit in the Matagami Base Metal Camp in Central Québec

September 1, 2010: Inferred Resources At Bracemac-McLeod Expand by 2.07 Million Tonnes of Massive Sulphides Grading 10.66% Zinc, 1.33% Copper, 41.72g/t Silver and 1.21g/t Gold Identified in the McLeod Deep Zone

If you’re a shareholder of Donner Metals, you will enjoy David’s candid and thorough responses during our discussion. This is especially true given the fact junior resource companies are forced to issue highly technical press releases that are not always well understood by retail investors.

If you’re just discovering Donner for the first time, grab a coffee and kick back in your chair for the next 15 minutes. Yes, we provide some online marketing services for Donner – so assume I am horribly conflicted. Then take into account this junior has partnered with Xstrata Zinc Canada, who is now in the process of constructing a mine that is set for production in a couple of years.
