La Mancha Resources (LMA:TSX) Joins AGORACOM 100 With 1.8 Million Ounces Of Gold

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

I am proud to announce that La Mancha Resources was added to the AGORACOM 100 this morning.  As investors will see below, La Mancha’s gold production and resources make it another worthy member of The AGORACOM 100, a group of elite small-cap companies that separate the wheat from the chaff.

La Mancha is currently focused on increasing 2009 combined Gold production from its 3 Operating mines to 100,000 ounces, as well as, continuing to prove up resources to 4 Million Ounces by 2011. La Mancha trades on the TSX under the symbol LMA.

Highlights include:

  • Production of 71,550 ounces of gold in 2008
  • Production target of up to 100,000 ounces of gold in 2009
  • Total M&I Resources of 1.8 million ounces of gold

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:

New Dawn Mining (ND:TSX) Exports First Two Gold Bars To South Africa

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:54 AM on Monday, April 6th, 2009

AGORACOM Client, New Dawn Mining (ND:TSX), released significant news this morning from both a revenue and policy point of view.  Specifically, the company exported its first two gold bars from it’s 100% owned Turk Mine in Zimbabwe to a refiner in South Africa.

This is ground breaking considering the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe did not previously allow for direct marketing and selling of gold by local producers.  More importantly for shareholders, this should allow the company to improve on its 2008 performance in which it generated $US 7.48 million from 8,650 ounces of gold as the company aims for full production out of the Turk Mine in calendar Q2 2009.

The complete news release can be seen here but here are the highlights:

KEY POINTS

  • New Dawn Mining Corp. (TSX: ND) announced that it has delivered its first two bars of fine gold, totaling 20 kg’s (645 ounces) from its 100% wholly-owned Turk Mine in Zimbabwe to Rand Refiners in South Africa.
  • The transaction marks a turning point for New Dawn’s gold mining and production operations in Zimbabwe and follows the recent, positive changes presented in the Monetary Policy Statement issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in January 2009 that permit gold producers to both market and sell their gold directly and receive and keep 100% in foreign currency (U.S. dollars) as payment.
  • New Dawn anticipates that it will be shipping an additional 20 to 25 kg’s (645 to 805 ounces) of fine gold to Rand Refiners in South Africa for payment in U.S. Dollars during April 2009.
  • New Dawn anticipates resuming full-scale mining operations at the Turk Mine in Zimbabwe during the second calendar quarter of 2009, and expects to report to shareholders in this regard in the near future.

Congratulations to President and CEO, Ian Saunders, and his team on this achievement.

Regards,
George

Seabridge Gold Increases Resources To 34.5M ozs Gold, 8.5B lbs Copper

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:47 AM on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Our client Seabridge Gold just continues to increase both its resources and share price.  Today, the company issued a news release that once again increased its resource counts at the KSM project which, according to the company, is one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold/copper projects.

I’ve provided the highlight data below but President and CEO Rudi Fronk sums it up in this following quote:

Measured and indicated mineral resources for the KSM project now stand at
1.82 billion tonnes containing 34.5 million ounces of gold and 8.5 billion pounds
of copper.
In the inferred category, resources for KSM now total 746 million tonnes containing 12.1 million ounces of gold and 2.8 billion pounds of copper.

We will now update the mine plans in our 2008 Preliminary Assessment to include
these new resource estimates which should add mine life beyond the previous
estimate of 30 years. We may also see the Sulphurets pit connect with the Mitchell
pit due to the resource increases in each of these zones.”

Highlights from press release include:

  • New Resources Estimate for Sulphurets Zone Increases Gold Ounces to 2.021 Million with 520 Million Pounds of Copper
  • New Resource Estimate for Kerr Zone to 1.666 Million Ounces and 2.036 Million Pounds of Copper
  • Updated Mine Plan anticipated to extend life of mine beyond Preliminary Assessment of 30 years sometime in 2nd qtr 2009

China ACM (CADC:OTC) Wins $2.2 Million Contract For High-Speed Railway

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:17 AM on Thursday, March 5th, 2009

It is no secret that I am extremely bullish on Chinese Small-Cap stocks for the long run. Quite simply, I love them for a few reasons. On a macro level, China is unstoppable. On a micro level, Chinese companies tend to run real businesses with real products, customers, revenues and profits.

As such, if you’re a successful Chinese small-cap company today, you have a good chance at being an incredibly big company tomorrow. In the same breath, investors have an opportunity to grow and prosper from the rise of a new economic powerhouse. An opportunity that only comes about every couple hundred years. I want to be a part of that and so should you.

One company investors should be considering is AGORACOM client, China Advanced Construction Materials. If you assume I am horribly conflicted (which you should) then let the latest Q2 numbers in which it earned $2.6 million plus this latest contract award speak for themselves.

A little background info first. 80% of China ACM revenues are directly derived from major state-owned construction companies. China ACM is a producer of advanced construction materials for large scale commercial, residential, and infrastructure developments. The company is primarily focused on producing and supplying a wide range of advanced ready-mix concrete materials for highly technical, large scale, and environmental construction projects

Awarded 2.2 Million Contract For High-Speed Chinese Railway

NEW YORK and BEIJING, March 4 — China Advanced Construction Materials Group, Inc. (“China ACM”) (OTC Bulletin Board: CADC), a leading provider of ready-mix concrete and related services in China, today announced that it was awarded a $2.2 million contract to provide concrete manufacturing services for a major section of the Jin-Qin High Speed Railway construction project. The railway will run from Tianjin to Qinhuangdao and will cover approximately 164 miles. China ACM’s component of the project is scheduled for completion in mid-2010.

New Dawn Mining Joins AGORACOM 100 With $7.48M In Revenue

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:12 AM on Thursday, February 26th, 2009

In 2008 New Dawn Mining (ND: TSX) produced 8,651 oz of gold and generated $US 7.48 million in sales.

An emerging gold exploration company with one producing mine, New Dawn is concentrating its exploration and mine development efforts on gold projects in Zimbabwe, and South Africa. The company retains an NI 43-101 compliant resource of 977,819 oz. (3.9-5.0 g/t) gold reserves, with additional inferred mineral resources of 347,600 oz. (5.1g/t) gold.

Symbol: ND-TSX / Shares Outstanding: 29,015,000 / Market Cap: $14.5M

On February 26th, New Dawn Mining announced:

New Dawn’s Turk Mine Moves from Care and Maintenance to Mine Development

  • Its 100% owned Turk Mine in Zimbabwe is moving from care and maintenance to active mine development. The decision by management came as a result of the recent positive changes to the Monetary Policy in Zimbabwe made by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, whereby gold producers can both market and sell their gold directly and that they are able to retain 92.5% of their gold sales in foreign exchange.
  • Subject to the full implementation of the recent changes in the Monetary and Fiscal regime in Zimbabwe, in due course New Dawn anticipates moving into a full mining mode
