Legend International Holdings Announces Strategic Alliance With One of China’s Largest Fertilizer Producers

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:14 AM on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

AGORACOM Client, Legend International Holdings has yet again signed a major deal with a large fertilizer producer.  Before getting into today’s news, here is some brief but powerful info about the company:

LGDI SIGNS LANDMARK AGREEMENT WITH IFFCO, INDIA’S LARGEST FERTILIZER ENTERPRISE

On July 16th, 2008, LGDI and IFFCO, announced this landmark agreement.

IFFCO is India’s largest fertilizer enterprise, a cooperative with over 50 million farmers associated with it, primarily engaged in production and marketing of nitrogenous and phosphate fertilizers in India. IFFCO has five fertilizer plants in India with a domestic annual capacity of producing 4.3 million tonnes of phosphatic fertilizers and 4.2 million tonnes of nitrogenous fertilizers.

When your biggest future customer has enough confidence in you to outright own 34,000,00 shares + an option to acquire another 17,000,000 shares, you have to feel good about the company.

On September 22, SEC filings showed that IFFCO acquired an additional 6,000,000 shares in LGDI via open market purchases.

GEORGE SOROS OWNS 10.18% OF LEGEND INTERNATIONAL

Reuters reported that George Soros, via Soros Fund Management, has taken a 5.19% stake (11.7 million shares) in AGORACOM client Legend International Holdings (LGDI: OTCBB).

On October 17,2008 his stake in LGDI was increased to 10.18%

TODAYS PRESS RELEASE

Last night, Legend announced the forming of a strategic alliance with Wengfu Group Co. Ltd (Wengfu) for the development of its phosphate mine, a beneficiation plant and a phosphoric acid plant in the Mt Isa region, Queensland, Australia.

How significant is this?

Wengfu is the one of the largest phosphate fertilizer producers in China, and has developed two phosphate mines in Guizhou Province and beneficiation, fertilizer and chemical plants in Guizhou, Gansu and Sichuan Provinces, China. Wengfu produces over 2.5 million tonnes of finished fertilizer products. Wengfu exports fertilizer to over twenty countries worldwide including Australia and New Zealand.

Other highlights of the press release include:

  • Legend and Wengfu have agreed to work together on the feasibility study initially for the mining and beneficiation of phosphate rock at Legend’s Georgina Basin Phosphate Project in Queensland, Australia. Pending a positive feasibility study, Wengfu and Legend will also investigate the production of speciality phosphate products derived from phosphoric acid manufacture.
  • After completion of a positive feasibility study for the mining and beneficiation, Wengfu will become an equity partner with Legend to strengthen the alliance and share in the benefits of successful development of all stages of the project including the production of specialty phosphate chemical products.

I especially like the fact that Wengfu may also become an equity partner with Legend, which would only add to the strength already brought by IFFCO.

Background

Legend is led by Joseph Gutnick, a prominent Australian mining industry entrepreneur, who has overseen some of Australia’s largest and most prestigious resource discoveries.

Legend’s primary focus is the development of its phosphate interests in the Georgina Basin, Queensland, Australia including Paradise (formerly Lady Annie and Lady Jane), D-Tree, Thorntonia, Lily Creek, Quita Creek, Sherrin Creek and Highland Plains.

Legend plans to produce an average of 5 million tonnes per year of phosphate rock concentrate of 30%+ P2O5 by 2012, thus becoming one of the world’s leading producers of phosphate rock. More information on Legend is available athttp://www.lgdi.net/.

Melkior Resources Joins AGORACOM 100 With $3.3 Million And Key Northern Ontario Projects

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:38 AM on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I am pleased to announce that  Melkior Resources (MKR: TSXV) is the newest member of The AGORACOM 100.  With $3.3 million in the treasury and large holdings in McFaulds Lake and the Timmins Mining Camp, Melkior is AGORACOM 100 material.

In addition, the company has now commenced an online investor relations program, which speaks volumes about the company’s confidence. 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.

As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact Melkior is now a client of AGORACOM and do your own due diligence.  Here are some of the things we like about the company:

HIGHLIGHTS

Melkior is a Canadian resource exploration company with diversified properties with exposure to gold, base metals, and uranium, all located in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. For investors concerned about geo-political risk in far away nations, Quebec and Ontario add a great deal of comfort.  Large land holdings in key exploration areas include McFaulds Lake and the prolific Timmins mining camp.

· Key gold exploration in the West Timmins discovery area

· In the past 3 years, more than 7541 metres of drilling has been conducted on the property by Melkior, with over 90% of the holes encountering gold.

· Drill cores intersected significant gold values including 60.27 g/t over 1.8 metres and 19.8 g/t over 3.3 metres. Grab samples assaying gold values of up to 843.7 g/t, 280.13 g/t and 245.03 g/t.

· Over 9000 hectares (90sq km) in Timmins – one of the largest land positions in West Timmins

· $3,300,000 in treasury

Fire River Gold Joins AGORACOM 100 With New TSX Venture Listing, 43-101 and Potential Gold, Copper, Silver Production

Posted by AGORACOM at 3:11 PM on Monday, November 16th, 2009

I am very pleased to announce that Fire River Gold Corp (FAU:TSXV) is the newest member of The AGORACOM 100 – and represents an extremely fresh opportunity for investors.  Why? The Company just listed on the TSX Venture Exchange on November 12 and has followed that up with an online investor relations program, which speaks volumes about the company’s confidence.  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.

As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact that Fire River is an AGORACOM client and that we have participated in this private placement.  As such, do your own diligence, which I am going to kick start by giving you the following overview and bullet point highlights:

FAST OVERVIEW

Fire River Gold Corp. completed its IPO at the end of May 2009 and is the newest member of the International Metals Group, (www.internationalmetalsgroup.com) giving it access to a well established team with over 100 years of experience working in Alaska. The primary focus of FAU is the exploration and development of gold projects in North America. The recently acquired Nixon Fork Gold Mine in Alaska has the potential to be a near term gold producer.  If the company can realize this potential, their timing couldn’t be better with gold trading north of $1,140 as of the time of this post.

The Company is presently negotiating additional advanced stage gold projects in North America. Management’s objective is to make FAU a North American gold producer in the next 18 months.

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

Nixon Fork Project:

  • Near Term Gold-Copper-Silver Producer
  • Fully Constructed 200+ tpd Mill
  • Permitted and Bonded
  • Turn-key Mining-Milling Operation
  • Mine Fully Permitted and Bonded
  • Significant Exploration Upside

Golden Zone Project:

  • NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource
    • 255,100 contained ounces of gold
    • 1.39 million ounces of silver
    • 7.29 million pounds of copper
  • 14 targets are identified
  • 2009 program in progress
  • Excellent infrastructure, road access to property, 12 miles from major highway and railroad, power nearby

Goldcorp Acquisition of Canplats Resources Continues Pierre Lassonde’s Peanut Butter Manifesto

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:39 PM on Monday, November 16th, 2009

Back in April 2008, I posted a story titled:  3-Way Junior Mining Consolidation Is Pierre Lassonde’s “Peanut Butter Manifesto”

Let the fly by nights die, consolidate those with decent assets and let the superstars stand up on their own two feet.
Quality over Quantity folks. It is that simple.

If you’re asking what the heck does peanut butter have to do with the junior resources space, have a read of the post.  In the meantime, I’m pleased to see continued follow-through on my call for consolidation in the space.  Today, Goldcorp agreed to acquire Canplats Resources in a deal worth about $238 million.  This is great news for the space as it will surely lead to further money injected into juniors with highly prospective projects.  Ironically enough, the story contained a quote from Pierre Lassonde who seems to have his finger on the very pulse of this consolidation trend:

Bullion producers including Goldcorp and Barrick Gold Corp., the largest producer by market value, may attempt to take
over smaller companies in the next two months to boost output amid dwindling supplies and rising prices, Franco-Nevada
Corp. Chairman Pierre Lassonde said in an interview last week.

On that note, I can’t help but mention the fact this could not be better timing for the AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference.  Emphasis on the online element of the conference as it will allow investors from anywhere in the world to participate and connect with great companies and keynote speakers from their PC.  Click on the banner for full information … and yes, it is free to investors!

Regards,
George

Chinese Small-Cap Company Feature: China XD Plastics

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:30 AM on Monday, November 16th, 2009

As many of you know, we are very bullish on the long-term future of Chinese small cap and mid cap companies for two reasons:

1] The obvious reason – China is the fastest growing economy on the planet and nothing is going to slow down its ascent over the next 50 years and beyond. Investing in growth companies there just makes too much sense.

2] Great Results and Valuations – Many Small Cap Chinese Companies are listing in the US (OTCBB, NYSE Alternext and NASDAQ) with great financial results. Unlike many dubious US Small Cap Companies, Chinese Companies don’t seem to believe in losing money or failing to execute in a business plan. As such, 7-digit revenues and profits are very common.

From a valuation point of view, many Chinese companies became a victim of their own success in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. Why? When the world needed to start liquidating, one of the first places they looked were China where most investors had significant gains to sell into. This resulted in the proverbial baby being thrown out with the bathwater and some great valuations.

AGORACOM Capital Offers Private Placement Opportunity To Retail Investors

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:36 AM on Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I am once again proud to announce that AGORACOM is leading the way towards empowering retail investors by providing our members with the opportunity to participate in a private placement with Candente Gold Corp.

As always, assume I am horribly conflicted by the fact AGORACOM Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGORACOM Investor Relations, has been retained by Candente Gold Corp. to assist them with their capital raising efforts.

We choose to make this opportunity available to our AGORACOM member and friends for the following reasons:

1. As of the time of this blog post, the Gold Spot Price was $1,118.50.00

2. Our own Chief commentator and Gold Bull, Peter Grandich, has been pounding the table on Gold for some time

3. Candente Gold Corp. provides a unique opportunity for investors in Mexico and Peru

Some Highlights of the Candente Gold Corp. story include:

* Near term focus is on The El Oro Gold-Silver Property Mexico, which is considered one of Mexico’s significant historic gold producers with past production of 8 M oz Au equivalent from two veins .

* Most Exploration and Development was conducted in only 2 veins of the 20 veins known to date in the Historic Area

* The Majority of Exploration & Development at El Oro was completed prior to the mid 1900’s – without modern vein concepts

For those of you interested in learning more about this private placement opportunity with Candente Gold Corp. visit our Private Placement Opportunities.

I strongly encourage anyone interested in this private placement opportunity to conduct thorough due diligence on the company to ensure that it meets with your investment goals.

Regards,

Press Release – AGORACOM Announces Online Gold and Commodities Conference – December 3 – 4, 2009

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:00 AM on Thursday, November 12th, 2009

AGORACOM Announces Online Gold and Commodities Conference – December 3 – 4, 2009

Investors From Over 20 Countries Expected To Attend Inaugural Online Conference That Includes Keynote Speakers Peter Grandich, Barry Ritholtz, Paul Kedrosky, Eric Coffin, and Gregor Macdonald.

TORONTO, November 12, 2009 – AGORACOM, a leading online financial community focusing on the small-cap and mid-cap markets, today announced the launch of its online investor conference initiative that will begin with the AGORACOM Online Gold & Commodities Conference on December 3rd and 4th, 2009.

The online nature of the conference will allow investors, both retail and institutional, to connect with small and mid-cap resource companies faster, better and cheaper than traditional investor conferences thanks to the elimination of all expenses related to travel, lodging, materials and time away from work.

GLOBAL INVESTORS PARTICIPATING FROM THEIR OFFICES AND HOMES

Using the AGORACOM Conference platform, presenting companies, attending investors and keynote speakers will all participate from the comfort of their offices and homes.  As a result, the conference will be comprised of a global audience vs. a local audience, which is expected to draw investors from more than 20 countries.

AGORACOM Founder, George Tsiolis, stated “Having already pioneered online investor relations, it just made complete sense to pioneer online investment conferences for the small and mid-cap space.  Our survey data clearly shows that investors use the web as their primary tool to research and find new investments.  What is really exciting is the fact that investors living outside of the established but small group of North American conference cities will finally have an opportunity to participate and benefit from a Tier-1 investor conference.  With gold trading at all-time highs and other commodities enjoying a bullish market, I expect to have investors from more than 20 countries participating in our inaugural event”.

PRESENTING COMPANIES

The conference will focus on emerging small and mid-cap resource companies who 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.

AGORACOM is 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.

REASONS TO PRESENT YOUR PUBLIC COMPANY

1.   A built in audience.  Last year, AGORACOM attracted over 1.3 million investors, 7.9 million visits and generated just under 100 million page views. (Full Story).

2.  AGORACOM content partners include GlobeInvestor, AOL Money Canada, Yahoo Finance Canada and every Blackberry device on the planet.  (Full Details).

3.  Conference presentations will have a shelf-life far beyond the end of the conference due to posting and tagging on the web’s biggest finance and social media sites that will reach new audiences indefinitely.

4.  Significantly reduced hard costs related to travel and materials, as well as, soft costs related to time management.

5.  An AGORACOM survey revealed that 59.4% of investors no longer find traditional conferences valuable and obtain all of their information from the web.

6.  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.

REASONS FOR INVESTORS TO ATTEND

1.   Participate in a high-quality conference in which you get to watch presentations, interact with CEO’s & IRO’s in near real-time and discover new potential investments.

2.  Watch presentations from a line-up of highly-acclaimed keynote speakers.
