BREAKING: AGORACOM Hits 37 Million Views, 4 Million Visitors In 2014, Data Points To 2015 Recovery

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:24 PM on Thursday, February 26th, 2015

We are very pleased to announce that AGORACOM continues to hit significant traffic milestones in the small-cap space, with more than 37,000,000 (million) page views and 4,000,000 visits to AGORACOM in 2014. These traffic figures are especially important to Small Cap Companies for the following 2 reasons:

  1. Despite the significant difficulty faced by small-caps in 2014, small cap investors still visited AGORACOM 4.1 million times, demonstrating small cap investor desire to find their next great small cap stock.
  2. Despite 2014 being a much worse year for small caps than 2013, our traffic numbers were nearly identical to 2013. For example, page views slightly increased from 37.07 million to 37.13 million in 2014. This in of itself is a clear indicator that the bottom is in with respect to the audience of small-cap investors ….

However, we were pleasantly surprised to see meaningful increases in the following metrics:

  • Pages Per Visit Increased 7.8% From 8.44 To 9.10
  • Time Spent Per Visit Increased 2.95% From 9:33 To 9:50

This quite clearly demonstrates that small cap investors are increasing their amount of research and due diligence, which is the exact opposite of what you would expect given the TSX Venture Index hit a 21st Century low on December 17, 2014. Rather than abandoning the space for dead, investors started paying more attention.

This is a great sign for all of us in the small-cap industry and points to the strong probability of a recovery in 2015 as investors convert their increased research into increased investments.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE INDEX?

As we write, the TSX Venture Index is up 9.38% from its December 17 low. Some of you will argue this is simply the tax-loss selling bounce, however, you would be mistaken once you took a closer look at the data. Specifically, almost all of this gain has come in FEBRUARY after the small cap markets struggled in the month of January.

Conclusion? This isn’t knee jerk buying to take advantage of tax-loss lows. This is patient, deliberate buying starting to come back in the marketplace, which is consistent with the AGORACOM traffic data above.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR COMPANY?

All the data points to the probability of a small-cap recovery in 2015. Small cap investors are increasing their research time for one main reason – to find their next great small cap investment from the pool of companies that survived the last two years and trading at very cheap valuations.

AGORACOM is their home. Get your story in front of them by making AGORACOM your company’s home.

Exploration Update on Golden Hope’s Poly-metallic Massive Sulphide Champagne Deposit in the Bellechasse Belt of Southeastern Quebec

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, February 18th, 2015

Montreal, Quebec / February 18, 2015 / Golden Hope Mines Limited (TSX VENTURE: GNH) – Golden Hope Mines Limited (‘Golden Hope”, or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Institut national de la Recherche Scientifique (“INRS”) led by Marc Richer-Lafleche has submitted its report of a high resolution Audiomagnetotelluric Survey and a Petrophysical Study on the poly-metallic massive sulphide Champagne Deposit in the region of Bellechasse, Quebec. This survey and study followed a Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (“VTEM”) that was conducted by Geotech for Golden Hope in late 2011, and confirmed the presence of a number of strong electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies within the Beauceville Formation (Magog Group) and more specifically over the known areas containing massive sulphide deposits. The Champagne sulphide mineralization appears to be a hybrid structure, possessing characteristics of both Sedimentary Exhalative Deposits (‘SEDEX”) and Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulfide Deposits (“VMS”).

The Audiomagnetotelluric Survey was conducted with readings 25 to 50 metres (“m”) apart, and had a deep vertical penetration of 1500m. The results from the survey over the known Champagne Deposit mineralization indicate a significant sub-vertical conductor beneath the massive sulphides confirmed through previous drilling. The conductor (V) begins at approximately 240m of vertical depth and extends to approximately 650m depth with a maximum implied thickness of approximately 60m. (Figure 2.)

A second prospective conductor (IV) was indentified approximately 500m south of the Champagne Deposit, beginning at approximately 225m vertical depth and extending to an approximate depth of 880m, with a maximum implied thickness of 160m. This second conductor has been interpreted to be associated with the first conductor indicating the repetition of the sulphide target horizon through the presence of a structural fold (syncline).

As a result of this important and encouraging new interpretation of what might potentially be large tonnage poly-metallic sulphide deposits within the Champagne Belt of Southeastern Quebec. Golden Hope will develop an exploration plan to further evaluate the potential of these large geophysical targets associated with the known massive sulphide mineralization. The Company will also expand the geophysical program to determine if similar targets occur elsewhere within the Champagne Belt.

The Company’s contiguous mineral claims include approximately 10 linear kilometres of the stratigraphic horizon near the base of the Beauceville Formation that hosts the Champagne occurrence. The Champagne occurrence lies on the north limb of a synclinal fold. An additional 20 linear kilometres of the horizon is exposed within the company’s claims that cover the south limb of the syncline. The Champagne Deposit is a partially explored base and precious metal occurrence that lies entirely within the Company’s 100% owned Bellechasse Belt, on claims 3.5 kilometres north of the Company’s Bellechasse-Timmins Gold Deposit. Previous work on Champagne outlined a historic estimate of 250,000 tonnes of massive and disseminated sulphides, averaging 2.4 g/t gold, 19.7 g/t silver, 2.7% zinc, 0.40% copper and 0.45% lead (Paradis, Bosse and Gauthier, 1995 Report from the Centre Geoscientifique de Quebec, referencing Bergman (1954)). A Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, nor is Golden Hope treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.

400% Growth Predicted For China’s Lithium-Ion Automotive Battery Market By 2017

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:18 PM on Monday, February 9th, 2015

Market research firm CCM predicts that the lithium-ion battery market is beginning to enter its golden era in China following high growth of electric car sales.According to CCM data, in 2014 manufacturers in China produced 78,499 EVs (including tiny vehicles), which is 250% more than in 2013. In 2015, sales will grow even faster to 250,000!In such a case, the lithium-ion battery industry should jump by 400% by 2017.

CCM expects it to grow from 4 billion Ah a year to 20 billion Ah a year. Times 3.5 V (cell voltages differences among different chemistries), that would be 70 GWh (twice the size of the Tesla Gigafactory and two times more than world production in 2013).

“This rapid growth is sparking similar growth in demand for power lithium-ion batteries, Chinese EV brand BYD has already encountered difficulties meeting orders due to a shortage of batteries, according to CCM.

Samsung, LG, and Foxconn all invested more than RMB 2 billion (US$325 million) in China’s lithium-ion battery market in 2014, and CCM expects to see similar levels of investment in 2015.

Most domestic Chinese battery manufacturers currently lag behind their competitors in Japan, South Korea, and the US in terms of their ability to manufacture high performing EV batteries, though this gap is narrowing gradually, so there is a large opportunity for international players to gain market share in China’s power lithium-ion battery market in the coming years, the firm suggests.”

Financial adviser for $2.5 billion Omagine project by Q1 2015

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:50 AM on Monday, February 2nd, 2015

Conrad Prabhu –
MUSCAT :
Feb 1: The developer of the Omagine mixed use tourism, leisure and residential development planned along the Seeb waterfront in Muscat Governorate says it aims to appoint a Financial Adviser for the estimated $2.5 billion development by the first quarter of this year.

The company’s US based majority shareholder, Omagine Inc, said in a filing to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) that it had begun the process of selecting a competent Financial Adviser for the project. “Omagine LLC management is meeting with, interviewing and requesting proposals from a number of banks and financial institutions seeking to act as the LLC’s financial adviser and it is presently expected that a definitive and binding agreement between one such bank or financial institution will be signed by the end of the first quarter of 2015,” it stated.

The move comes as Omagine LLC prepares to launch work on the ambitious development, which features a mix of hotels, retail shops, restaurants, office space, open air amphitheatre and stage, exhibition venues, harbour and marina, and more than 2,000 residential units.
The centrepiece is a high culture theme park consisting of seven pearl-shaped buildings each with a different theme, such as the Innovation Pearl, The Energy Pearl, and the Culture Pearl. The pearls will feature motion ride experiences, simulations, games, interactive demonstrations, multi-media presentations and possibly a planetarium, aquarium and more.

Envisioned in Phase One is the initial design of the project, encompassing initial planning, design, environmental studies and approvals, master planning, surveying, soil engineering and testing, initial site work, office space, personnel and equipment, and organisational, marketing and public relations efforts.

According to the company, the selected Financial Adviser will advise on the capital structure of Omagine LLC, as well as lead the syndication of the debt financing required to execute the project. In this regard, it denied media reports suggesting the appointment of BNP Paribas as its Financial Adviser.

“This is untrue. Although (Omagine) LLC did have a two year old non-binding letter of intent with BNP, BNP was never appointed as the Financial Adviser for (Omagine) LLC. As of the date hereof, both (Omagine) LLC and BNP agree that they maintains a good relationship with each other, but for BNP internal reasons, BNP will not be (Omagine) LLC’s Financial Adviser,” the majority shareholder said in its filing. Following the signing of the key Development Agreement with the Omani government on October 2, 2014, Omagine has undertaken a number of steps to speed up implementation of the project.
