Earlier today, we proudly announced the launch of our online conference initiative.  We’re starting off that initiative with a bang via our first ever official online conference – The AGORACOM Online Gold and Commodities Conference.  Given the price of gold, oil and other commodities, our timing could not be better.

PRESENTING COMPANIES

The conference will focus on emerging small and mid-cap resource companies who will present by invitation only and are required to have demonstrated excellence through a combination of one or more of the following:

• Experienced management
• Proven reserves via 43-101
• Strong prospective projects via publicly announced drill results
• Balance sheet strength
• Imminent or actual production.

We are limiting the total number of presenting companies to 50.  Currently, over 25 companies have committed to the conference, leaving approximately 25 spots available.  Presenting companies will be active in industries that include precious metals, base metals, rare metals, oil & gas and clean energy technologies.

Good afternoon to you all.   I am proud to announce that AGORACOM is once again pioneering the online small and mid-cap space by launching online investor conferences.  Moreover, we’re launching the initiative with the AGORACOM Online Gold and Commodities Conference on December 3rd and 4th. 

WHY ONLINE CONFERENCES?

The Logical Unstoppable Trend

The fact that the web delivers information faster, better, more conveniently and more cost-efficiently than traditional vehicles is clear to all of us.  For example, traditional powerhouse media companies (cable and print) that used to generate ridiculous revenues and profits have watched their businesses nearly evaporate over the last 24 months as consumers turn to the web for news, information and entertainment.  AGORACOM itself has caused a massive paradigm shift in Investor Relations by creating a 100% pure online investor relations firm.  Looking forward, you can bet the farm this shift to the web will continue unabated for any medium that is built on delivering information.

As such, it makes perfect sense to create online conferences that eliminate all hurdles to participation.  Now, both retail and institutional investors from anywhere in the world can fully participate by watching presentations and interacting with CEO’s / IRO’s.  Geography, time, travel and money are no longer an issue.  Public companies, on the other hand, can now present their stories to a global audience vs. a local audience – while saving tens of thousands of dollars in hard costs, time and energy.

Best of all, company presentations now have a shelf life that can be measured in months, not days by being hosted on the web.  Search engines will also make sure those presentations continue to reach targeted audiences long after the online conference is complete.

The Irrefutable Data – Retail Investors

Is all this just self-serving lip service?  First, consider the fact that AGORACOM attracted 1.31 million visitors, 7.9 million visits and generated 96 million page views last year.  Small and mid-cap investors are clearly getting their information online.

Second, an AGORACOM survey of investors revealed the following:

• 59.4% of investors do not find conferences to be valuable and get all of their information from the web.
  • 62% of this group stated they get all of their information from the web, as their primary reason
  • 24% of this group stated they would not take time away from work or family as their primary reason
    
• 52% of investors believe there will be fewer (but better) conferences.

In another AGORACOM survey in which over 1,000 investors participated, we found that 78.3% of research into new small-cap investments comes from the web.

The Irrefutable Data – Institutional Investors

An IR Magazine Think Tank of Canada’s 40 leading IRO’s recently met and concluded that Twitter and Blogs are now the primary information source for analysts and institutional investors.

Conclusion

The time has come for an online conference provider to service the needs of the small-cap and mid-cap industry.  AGORACOM is proud to pioneer it and we look forward to having all of you participate.

George

TODAY’S SMALL-CAP AND MICRO-CAP BREAKING FINANCIAL NEWS BEFORE THE OPEN

Our daily show focuses on content over form so that you can get profitable information into your hands as fast as possible. The same holds true for these entries in our small-cap, micro-cap news blog, where I simply cut and paste my TV notes for your benefit, without any editing, so don’t give me a hard time!

Now, onto our show notes for the day.

• General Steel Holdings – NYSE:GSI $3.92
• **Freewest Resources – TSX-V: FWR $0.49
• Valley Forge Technologies Inc – OTC.BB: VLYF

(ARD:TSX-V)

Great news from one of our most recent additions to the AGORACOM 100.  The Company’s flagship website CarCostCanada.com experienced the highest traffic, sales, revenue and profits of any October in the division’s history.  This is fresh off the heals of the company’s announcement last week about record Q1 results and an increasing dividend.

As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact Armada is a client – but I love the fact that we have found a Web 2.0 company with real products, clients and revenues.  Web-based companies that can execute by delivering cost-efficiencies to both consumers and business stand an excellent chance of delivering shareholder values for years to come.

There are no guarantees that Armada (or any company) will do that but a combination of both record financial results and record online results is a great start and an even better reason to follow this company closely.

With respect to today’s press release, highlights include:

- CarCostCanada.com new membership sales up 85% versus Oct/08

- Google AdWords and Toronto Star campaigns continue to drive success

- Highest traffic, sales, revenues and profits of any October in division’s history

- Car companies recognizing quality of visitors and increase ad spend

I’m very happy to announce that Metals Creek Resources (MEK:TSXV) has been added to theAGORACOM 100 – and the Company has begun their online investor relations with a bang by announcing the Commencement of Drilling on its 100% Owned Staghorn Property.  As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact MEK is an AGORACOM client and do your own due diligence.

Welcoming Back Richard Nemis

This is also a reunion of sorts with former Noront Resources President and CEO, Richard Nemis, who currently serves on the board of Metals Creek.  Mr. Nemis may be an industry veteran but – in my opinion – he is the best online investor communicator I have ever seen in the junior resources space bar none.

Given the fact Metals Creek has now commenced an online investor relations program, I am optimistic management will follow his winning example and go out of their way to communicate with investors.  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.

Drill Program Fast Facts:

·Drilling will take place approximately 50 Km NE of the former gold producing Hope Brook Mine, Newfoundland, which accounted for 90% of gold production for the Province in 1997.

·Drill program will consist of approximately 16 drill holes totaling 1700 meters testing the Woods Lake Gold Zone.

·Two historic drill holes had intersections of 1.47 g/t gold over 22.5 meters and a second intersection of 0.23g/t gold over 52.9 meters.

·Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for providing funding assistance under the JCEAP program which will subsidize approximately 50% of the proposed program.

About Metals Creek

The company is a Canadian based junior explorer, which should give investors that are uncomfortable with projects in far away places a great deal of comfort.  Metals Creek presently has mining interests in Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador, a summary of which can be found here.

I hope this post has provided you with enough information to get your DD started.  To this end, here are some additional helpful links.

Members of AGORACOM know we’ve been calling for this kind of action for a couple of years now.  Hence, why I started my Gold $1,000 blog posts.  If you’re now a believer in gold, make your way over there to find out about great gold companies and other commentary.

More importantly, AGORACOM Chief Commentator, Peter Grandich has been calling this gold breakout for several hundred dollars now.  He has been unwaivering and uncanny.  In our most recent Friday night show, he stated that $1,020 or $1,070 were buy signals for him … and here we are less than two trading days later.

In a post made just a few minutes before this one, he stated:

In the face of a rising U.S. Dollar and a vast majority of either outright bearish
or weak-knee bulls, gold has just vaulted up to a new, all-time nominal high.
The fact that India has already bought half of the entire amount of gold the IMF
is selling is definitely a major plus.

The bears are in big, big trouble.

For those of you that are yet to discover Peter Grandich and his uncanny market calls, just click here to be taken back to his home page.  His calls have earned his numerous appearances on CNBC, Fox, BNN,Wall Street Journal, and every other major media source in North America, so you should take the time to read what he has to say.

Finally, if you need one place to keep up with a consolidated view of Spot, 24-hour, 30-Day and 1-Year gold prices, make sure to visit and bookmark our gold price page.

George
