Metals Creek Resources Joins “AGORACOM 100” With Commencement of Drilling Program and Richard Nemis As A Director

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:00 PM on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

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.

Gold Hits New All-Time High – Grandich Says Close Above $1,070 Is Bullish

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:31 PM on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Gold is absolutely breaking out today.  I can talk about it but a chart is worth 1,000 words … or $1,078 per ounce.


[Most Recent Quotes from www.kitco.com]

[Most Recent Quotes from www.kitco.com]

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.

Armada Data (ARD: TSXV) Posts Record Q1 Results + Plans To Increase Yearly Dividend

Posted by AGORACOM at 5:58 PM on Friday, October 30th, 2009

(ARD: TSX-V)

Armada Posts Record Q1 Results: Revenue up 58%. Net Income Up 244%. Dividend To Increase

Armada Data, one of our most recent additions to The AGORACOM 100 and subject of this profile on Wednesday, blew the doors of their first quarter on all metrics including revenues, net income and operating income.  In addition, the company reported increases in all 3 of its revenue streams.  Finally, the company announced plans to increase its dividend.  How many TSX Venture companies pay a dividend, let alone announce increases?

Yes, junior resource companies are hot and their future looks good – but every portfolio needs diversity and this Web 2.0 machine deserves strong consideration.

As always, assume I am horribly conflicted with clients and look at both the following numbers and the entire quarterly report for yourself.  Make sure to read my blog profile of Armada for a great understanding of what the company does and why I like its future.


Highlights For The Quarter Compared To The Same Quarter Last Year

· Net income increased to $156,298 from $45,381; an increase of 244% or 1.2 cents per share

· Revenue increased to $746,695 from $471,992 last year; an increase of 58%

*My Note – If Armada Data can maintain these net income and revenue numbers through Q2, 3 and 4, they will significantly surpass their previous years’ performance.

· Operating income (before amortization and stock-based compensation) increased to $179,873 from $56,294 last year; an increase of 220% or 1.3 cents per share

· Dealer Services revenue increased 112%

· Insurance Services revenue increased 72%

· Retail Services revenue increased 44%

· Advertising/Marketing Services revenue increased 23%

· Company plans to increase yearly dividend. Amount to be determined at year end.

Armada Posts Record Q1 Results: Revenue up 58%. Net Income Up 244%. Dividend To Increase

Armada Data is a profitable web-enabled Automobile Information Services Company providing accurate and real-time pricing data, to institutional and retail customers on a fee-for-service basis, through developing, owning and operating automotive related websites such as www.carcostcanada.com and providing information services to its clients.

Congratulations to Paul Timoteo and the entire Armada Data team on a great quarter.

American Lithium Minerals (AMLM:OTCBB) Joins AGORACOM 100 With 16,000 Acres In Lithium Rich Montezuma Valley, Nevada

Posted by AGORACOM at 6:41 PM on Thursday, October 29th, 2009

(AMLM: OTCBB)

I am very happy to announce that AGORACOM has added a very promising Lithium player to the AGORACOM 100 – American Lithium Minerals Inc.  As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact AMLM is an AGORACOM client but here are a few reasons why I like the company:

First of all, the company is Lithium focused and we now know that Lithium is going to play an important role in the future of clean energy.  We’ll be educating you on this over the next 12 months but a good start is this article from CNET discussing Honda’s plans to incorporate Lithium batteries into future hybrid vehicles.  In addition, a Google search of “Lithium + Obama” brings up some pretty powerful articles.   However, for those of you with no time to link over and read the stories, the future of Lithium is best summed up in this 59-second YouTube video produced by the company:

As a result, the impending increased demand for Lithium will require new sources being brought on stream.

How is AMLM going to capitalize on this?  The company has 100% mineral rights to 16,000 acres comprising four claim blocks in Nevada’s lithium-rich Montezuma Valley.  What does this mean?  According to the company:

The volcanics surrounding the valley contain some of the richest lithium
concentrations in the world and their brines and evaporities have been
accumulating in the vast Montezuma and Clayton Valley for at least 33,000
years. These brines have the highest lithium content of any brines tested by
the USGS in the southwestern US.

AMLM is currently in the process of assessing the size, quality and processing alternatives of its Lithium Brine Project.

With respect to the surrounding area, the company states that early estimates put the valley’s lithium deposits as high as 700 million kg, ranking it second only in size to the deposits found in Chile.  I note two things here.  First, as with all area plays, deposits in a surrounding area do not necessarily equate into deposits for another area.  Second, neither AMLM’s Lithium Bring Project, nor the surrounding valley’s lithium deposits have been confirmed by an NI 43-101.

Finally, the metals and mining space is one place where you need real, experienced management if you are going to get anything done.  AMLM recognized this when they recently hired on Judy Baker to be the company’s President and CEO.  Her bio is sure to impress:

==========

Ms. Baker has a long and successful track record in the mining/mineral exploration business and associated equity markets. Most recently Ms. Baker was the President, CEO and a director of Canada Lithium Corp., Ms. Baker was instrumental in restructuring the company and strategically positioning it into the forefront of the international lithium business. During her 20-month tenure the company’s market cap grew from $5 million to over $30 million, an over 600% increase. Ms. Baker holds an Honours B.Sc. Geological Engineering in Mineral Resources Exploration and a M.B.A., and has seventeen years of experience in the mining and mineral exploration sector including equity analysis, fund management; and exploration and mining company activity.

==========

Now you know why American Lithium Minerals is AGORACOM 100 worthy and why we look forward to reporting on the company’s progress over the next 12 months and beyond.  To continue your research, I’ve provided some more information below to get you going.

Regards,
George
