Friction Factor calculates if a fair market is being made in the shares of OMAG. 45% of the previous 38 trading days have been positive or bullish-biased and 55% have been negative or bearish-biased.

Regulation SHO requires bona-fide market-making activities to include making purchases and sales in roughly comparable amounts. The Commission has stated that bona-fide market-making DOES NOT include activity that is related to speculative selling strategies for investment purposes of the broker-dealer and is disproportionate to the usual market making patterns or practices of the broker-dealer in that security. Likewise, where a market-maker posts continually at or near the best offer, but does not also post at or near the best bid, the market-maker’s activities would not generally qualify as bona-fide market-making. Moreover, a market-maker that continually executes short sales away from its posted quotes would generally not be considered to be engaging in bona-fide market-making.

BUYINS.NET monitors OMAG market-makers daily for compliance with Fair Market-Making Requirements.

It will be developed on one million square meters (245 acres) of beachfront land (the “Omagine Site”) facing the Gulf of Oman just west of the capital city of Muscat and approximately six miles from Muscat International Airport.

ii. two subsidiaries of Consolidated Contractors International Company, SAL (“CCIC”), which collectively own 15%.

The Company, RCA and the two CCIC subsidiaries are parties to a legally binding Shareholder Agreement which, among other things, provides for:

i. initially capitalizing Omagine LLC at 150,000 Omani Rials [$390,000], and
ii. increasing Omagine LLC’s capital to 26,988,125 Omani Rials [$70,169,125] within a 6 to 12 month period following the signing of the Development Agreement, and
iii. a payment-in-kind investment of the land constituting the Omagine Site (the “PIK”).

The value of the PIK investment will equal the value to Omagine LLC of the approximately 245 acres of beachfront land constituting the Omagine Site which His Majesty the Sultan owned and transferred to the Government for the specific purpose of developing it into the Omagine Project.

The value of the PIK will be determined by a professional valuation expert in accordance with Omani law and with the concurrence of Omagine LLC’s independent auditor, Deloitte & Touche, (M.E.) & Co. LLC. The value of the land constituting the Omagine Site is conservatively but informally estimated by local real-estate brokers to be in excess of $700 million.

The legally binding contract between the Government and Omagine LLC governing the design, development, construction, management and ownership of the Omagine Project and the use and sale by Omagine LLC of the land constituting the Omagine Site is the Development Agreement which the Government and Omagine LLC signed on October 2, 2014.

“We are tremendously pleased with today’s signing of the Development Agreement and are anxious to now begin the development of the Omagine Project.” said the Company’s president, Frank J. Drohan.

Drohan continued, “Our mission is to develop, own and operate innovative tourism projects with components that are thematically imbued with culturally aware, historically faithful, and scientifically accurate entertainment experiences. We design the tourism elements to provide modern, stylish and entertaining experiences while highlighting the world’s great cultures, art, music, heritage, science and philosophy. We expect the Omagine Project to be the archetype for our future projects in the Middle East and North Africa.“

September 29, 2014 01:41 PM Eastern Daylight Time

TUCSON, Ariz. –Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe will travel to Hong Kong, Japan and Korea in November to meet with potential investors to fund the Hay Mountain Project (“Hay Mountain”) Phase 1 drilling program and further development funding. Naru Capital (“Naru”) has also requested Briscoe present the Mine Finders training program on a roadshow planned for Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and UAE.

According to Naru’s representative, “We have successfully established relations with [potential] investors in Hong Kong who are significantly experienced in mining and thereby appreciate the risk-reward ratio of a greenfield project such as Hay Mountain. In the Middle East, we will be sourcing sophisticated [potential] investors who have been vetted to ensure an interest in early stage opportunities and who would ideally benefit immensely from the Mine Finders program. Based on the interactions between our team and the [potential] investors over the last few weeks, we anticipate good meetings to be held in Hong Kong….Potential meetings in Japan and Korea can be conducted face to face due to the proximity to Hong Kong.”

Briscoe is still in substantial contact with interested parties from the Middle East introduced to Liberty Star during Naru’s first Middle East Roadshow. As part of the second Naru Roadshow Briscoe will continue meetings with these potential investors and begin meetings with new prequalified contacts from Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and UAE. It is yet to be determined if Briscoe will travel to the Middle East for a second time. The presentations may be conducted by GoToMeeting computer meeting exchange, which allows up to 25 participants to view presentations on their computers anywhere in the world simultaneously.

States Briscoe: “We continue our pursuit of a suitable deal for Phase 1 drilling at Hay Mountain. The Mine Finders training program has remained of great interest to multiple contacts from my travels to Saudi Arabia, Oman and Turkey in June. We also have as many as three domestic groups that have expressed interest in investing in developing Hay Mountain. We will work on not only obtaining funds for Phase 1, but looking to future development funding capability as well.”

Neah Power’s BuzzBar Suite(R) Launch Empowers African Classrooms

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:00 AM on Tuesday, September 16th, 2014

Indiegogo Campaign Demonstrates Power to “Go Anywhere. Take Charge.”

BOTHELL, WA, Sep 16, 2014 — Neah Power Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ) (‘Neah’), an innovator and supplier of cutting-edge power solutions for the military, transportation and portable electronics industries, is proud to launch their Indiegogo campaign for its BuzzBar Suite and a partnership to bring computing power to rural African classrooms using the recently released BuzzBar(R) Suite of products. The BuzzBar(R) is a new groundbreaking product that enables off-the-grid recharging of mobile consumer electronics using solar, grid, or proprietary fuel cell technology. If you frequently travel or go “off-grid” for any length of time, you will need a power source for your critical electronics. The BuzzBar Suite provides a simple power solution for anyone who needs “power to go.” This BuzzBar Suite can also be a life-saving product in an emergency.

Neah is partnering with the Asante Africa Foundation, a not-for-profit 503(c) corporation deploying tablet computers into remote African classrooms through their “Classroom in a Box” program, which will provide rich teaching material and expose children to content they would otherwise not have access to. Schools in remote villages are far from the grid and therefore require alternative power solutions. For every 25 BuzzBar Suite units sold, Neah Power will donate one BuzzBar Suite to Asante Africa Foundation.

“We believe there is a strong demand for a simple device that can enable people to go farther and travel longer with their vital electronics. There is nothing quite like the BuzzBar Suite,” said Dr. Chris D’Couto, CEO of Neah Power Systems. “We are eager to showcase the product’s power and are excited to bring the potential of Indiegogo(R) to this effort. Partnering with Asante Africa Foundation allows us to do good and further a very worthy cause.”

“We are pleased to partner with Neah Power Systems to deploy these products and enable a 21st Century learning experience to the children in Africa,” said Erna Grasz, CEO of Asante Africa Foundation. Be sure to visit http://igg.me/at/buzzbar to learn more about Neah Power’s campaign and how they are contributing to the Asante Africa Foundation. More information about Asante Africa Foundation’s Technology in the Classroom initiatives can be found at http://www.asanteafrica.org/technology/.

Different perks reap different acknowledgment gifts. For example, a donation of $40 will provide the benefactor with a t-shirt, and a donation will be made to Asante Africa Foundation. A donation of $149 will provide you with the BuzzBar(TM) Suite: a BuzzBar, a BuzzSol and a BuzzBat. Other perks provide other product combinations. The BuzzCell is expected to ship in Q4 2014. Visit the campaign on Indiegogo for a complete list of the perks offered.

CLIENT FEATURE: DNA Precious Metals (DNAP: OTCQB) Production target fall 2014 with 7+ Year Mine Life In Quebec

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:19 PM on Thursday, August 21st, 2014

DNAP: OTCQB

Focused on near term production of the Montauban tailings mine in the Province of Quebec, Canada with an aggressive search for economic production assets.

Why DNA Precious Metals?

  • Company is 100% unhedged thus positioned to fully benefit from any future rise in precious metals prices
  • Main asset is the Montauban Tailings Mine Property located at Notre-Dame-de-Montauban in one of the world’s most favorable mining jurisdictions; the province of Quebec
  • Focused on the extraction of gold, silver and potentially, the industrial mineral mica (phogopite) from the approximate 2.5 million metric tons of historic mining residues (“residues”) situated in the Montauban area
  • Extraction of the valuable metals from the residues is a low cost process compared to the processing of ore.
  • Economic potential from the processing of the residues is approximately 174 million dollars

Competitive Edge

  • Sole mining company in Canada with its primary focus of bringing a tailings residue site into commercial production. The Company has “first mover advantage” in Quebec, and may expand into exploitation of other tailings sites throughout the province
  • Longer term potential is tailings exploitation nationally and in other jurisdictions.

The Montauban Project

Montauban, a series of advanced exploration claims, is located in the Portneuf County of Quebec, Canada. The project is situated approximately 120 km west of Quebec City and approximately 60 km north of Trois-Rivieres.

The project is accessible by vehicle through route 363 linking Saint-Marc des Carrieres, St- Casimir, Saint-Ubalde and Lac-aux-Sables, then following the route leading to Riviere-a-Pierre which cuts through the property.

Tailings

In July of 2010, 9215-8062 Quebec Inc. began a drilling campaign to evaluate the potential resources in the mining residues identified as “recent tailings” located on claims numbers; 5233236, 5233237, and 1037669. After receiving encouraging results from the initial drill campaign, 9215-8062 Quebec Inc. mandated Mr. Yves Gagnon, Engineer Geologist, to supervise a second drill campaign and to evaluate the Montauban Tailing resources by completing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate.

Consequently, in January of 2011 Mr. Yves Gagnon Eng.Geo published the 43-101 Technical Report on the Resource Evaluation of the Montauban Tailings indicating the measured resources below. DNA Precious Metals Inc. is 100% owner of the sixty-five mining claims where the Montauban Tailings are located.

Historical tailings of approximately 2.5 million metric tons from past producers have been identified by multiple independent government reports for the Montauban Property. The tailings from those past producers in the Montauban Property area are;

Medical pot cookie prohibition ruled unconstitutional

Court challenge stems from B.C. case of Owen Smith, who was charged with trafficking for baking pot cookies

Ban on medical marijuana cookies ruled unconstitutional 1:57

It’s unconstitutional to forbid licensed medical marijuana users from possessing pot-laced products, such as cookies or body creams, a B.C. Court of Appeal judge has ruled.

Parliament has been given one year to recraft regulations to allow medicinal marijuana users to use products made from cannabis extract. They can include creams, salves, oils, brownies, cakes, cookies and chocolate bars.

Health Canada currently allows people suffering from debilitating illnesses access to medicinal marijuana, but only in the form of dried marijuana.

In her written reasons, Justice Risa Levine said this specification “is arbitrary and cannot be justified in a free and democratic society.”

Levine went on to state that when patients choose to use edible forms of marijuana, it “was a matter of necessity, or put another way, the restriction to dried marijuana interfered with their physical or psychological integrity.”

Case of the pot cookie baker

The court challenge stems from the case of Owen Smith, who was charged with trafficking for baking pot cookies and producing topical cannabis creams for a medical marijuana club in Victoria in 2009.

Smith was caught baking more than 200 pot cookies for the Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club, and had a supply of cannabis-infused cooking oils and some dried dope in his apartment when he was arrested.

He was acquitted in April 2012 after the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the medical marijuana regulations were unconstitutional, because patients were denied access to edible pot products and derivatives.

Justice Robert Johnston concluded that permitting dried cannabis alone was arbitrary and did little to further a legitimate state interest.

Thursday’s ruling means Smith acquittal stands and he will not be retried.

Health Minister Rona Ambrose’s office said in a statement released Thursday that it is “reviewing the decision in detail and considering our options.”

Marijuana laws under the microscope

Canada currently prohibits the possession and trafficking of all marijuana products under subsection 4(1) and Schedule II of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. However, subsection 55(1) of this act allows for exemptions to be made.

As such, an annex to that act, the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, allow people with medical need and authorization access to medicinal marijuana.

Under these regulations, many people suffering from debilitating illnesses get marijuana through Health Canada approved companies or get permission to grow it themselves.

However, the MMPR and its predecessor, the MMAR program, limit this access to dried marijuana and do not make any other exceptions to the list of banned substances detailed in Schedule II of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

These banned substances, aside from the exempted dried marijuana, include cannabis resin and various extracts and derivatives of the cannabis plant.

Ottawa had hoped the B.C. Court of Appeal would strike down the B.C. Supreme Court decision.

But under Thursday’s ruling, government has been asked to review these rules, which could mean medical marijuana users would be supplied with resin or extract or be permitted to make themselves products such as pot cookies using marijuana extracts.
