Oman Sets Sail With Mega Waterfront Project

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:38 AM on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014

With a design theme anchored in Omani heritage, Omagine will be developed over a five year plus time frame

  • By Manoj Nair, Associate Editor
  • Published: 14:08 December 3, 2014

Dubai: The design elements for Oman’s new waterfront development — and in scale its most ambitious to date — are starting to take shape. Located in the Al Seeb locality and close to the international airport, the $2.3 billion “Omagine” master-development will feature seven pearl-shaped buildings, each of which will have a theme centred on Oman’s varied history and culture.

There will be three signature hotels and 2,164 residences in what will be a low-density build-up. But there is land aplenty — 1 million square metres — for the developer to come up with a creation that will “certainly not be just another waterfront project”, according to a senior official.

The stakes are high — the operating company Omagine llc has Oman’s Royal Court Affairs — representing the personal interests of His Majesty the Sultan of Oman — holding 25 per cent, New York headquartered Omagine, Inc. holding 60 per cent and Oman’s $5 billion Consolidated Contractors International Co. with 15 per cent.

“The concept master plan was finalised on October 2, and which allows for an 18-22 month time frame in which the entire set of details related to the final master plan, the architecture, engineering and project financing requirements will have to be done,” said Sam Hamdan, President of Omagine, Inc. “The project’s overall time frame will be five to six years.

“For sure, the project will be a low-density one given Oman’s strict requirements of a 1:1 split between hotel units (which also includes serviced apartments and chalets) and the residences.”

According to Frank J. Drohan, Chairman of Omagine, Inc., “Talks have been initiated with Gulf based entities who wish to come on board as full-fledged investors in this prestige development, and there is also a parallel track with the banks on the financing requirements.”

Based on the initial concept designs, how the pearl-shaped building have been conceived are stunning. They will be set at vantage points across the shoreline, itself is shaped in a way that gives the project its distinctive design ethos in the form of the ‘Fibonacci Spiral’. “Apart from mathematics, Fibonacci also has roots in Islamic planning processes,” Hamdan added.

In effect, the overall development’s build-up will be split into two “zones”, with the first comprising the “pearls”, the hotels and the entertainment component.

But the developer made a point of stating that the project will not end up creating a marina for “hundreds of boats to moor”. “What we are planning is an intensely creative and elegant construction, and that’s to be maintained right through,” Hamdan said.

Mega projects to catapult Oman’s tourism industry

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:41 PM on Tuesday, November 18th, 2014
November 17, 2014
Muscat – Oman is pushing to boost the tourism sector in the country like never before with a host of measures. This is accompanied by a strong will to develop the necessary infrastructure.

Key policy changes include developing a 30-year tourism strategy that will align the sector’s role with plans for the national economy. The strategy focuses on short-, medium- and long-term strategies and is based on four major pillars, including tourism competitiveness, marketing and product development, governance, education and socio-economic development.

Work on the Oman National Tourism Strategy has already started with the Ministry of Tourism (MoT) awarding a contract earlier this year to a Spanish firm, THR Innovative Tourism Advisors, which is currently conducting a series of workshops all over the sultanate.

Another focus area has been the huge potential of transit passengers.

The national carrier, Oman Air, expects incoming passenger numbers to reach 4.8mn this year. Of these, only 800,000 will be flying to and from Oman, and the airline is looking to attract the remaining 4mn transit passengers for a stopover.

For this, ROP has agreed to issue 72-hour, on-arrival visas to transit passengers from all countries except Bangladesh and Afghanistan. An electronic visa disbursal system will also be introduced in a couple of months that will ease procedural delays.

Tourism in the country has been on a consistent growth path and is poised to witness spectacular development in the coming years to be one of the largest contributors to the economy.

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the travel and tourism industry in Oman supported 37,000 jobs directly in 2013 and this is forecast to grow by 11.4 per cent in 2014 to 41,000. This is the fastest growth in the Middle East region and among the strongest worldwide.

By 2024, travel and tourism will account for 60,000 direct jobs, an increase of 3.9 per cent per annum over the next ten years.

In line with the nation’s objective to diversify its economy, the Ministry of Tourism actively promotes Oman across the globe boosting the nation’s tourism revenues and targeting the sector’s ten per cent contribution to national gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020.

According to WTTC, total contribution of travel and tourism to Oman’s GDP was RO2.08bn, or 6.4 per cent, in 2013 and is expected to lead the Middle East in terms of growth, rising by 9.4 per cent to RO2.27bn in 2014. The total contribution to GDP is forecast to rise by 5.5 per cent per annum to RO3.88bn (8.2 per cent of GDP) by 2024.

Key indicators such as hospitality and air-traffic data also point towards significant growth achieved this year.

In the first half of 2014, the total number of guests staying at four- and five- star hotels in the sultanate witnessed an increase of 20.7 per cent reaching 368,764. And occupancy rates rose to 64.6 per cent as of the end of June 2014 from 61.3 per cent recorded during the same period in 2013. Total revenues of four- and five- star hotels grew by 8.7 per cent during the same period rising to RO86.3mn. Hotel room capacity is forecast to expand at an annual rate of 5.3 per cent in the next three to four years.

Meanwhile, international passenger arrivals at the Muscat International Airport were up by 6.7 per cent to 2mn passengers in the first six months of the year, compared with the same period last year. Salalah too witnessed a surge of around 75 per cent to cross 50,000 international passenger arrivals during the six months compared to the same period last year.

The government’s increasing thrust on tourism continues as it is takes various steps to further develop the sector.

Omran, the ministry’s investment arm, issued tenders worth RO78mn last year towards the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, energy centre, and a parking area in addition to the Traveller’s Oasis project in Salalah worth RO1mn.

Omran is also planning 12 new projects which are under study, including water parks, developing Omani castles and forts and eco-tourism resorts in order to attract and accommodate the rising tourist numbers.

The ministry, along with Omran, is working with Paradores Consultancy, an arm of Spain’s prominent luxury hotel chain Paradores de Turismo de España – which runs 94 hotels set in palaces, fortresses and historical buildings – to transform some of the select group of forts and castles dotting Oman’s landscape into luxury heritage hotel properties.

In addition, Omran earlier this month signed a pact to develop 1.85mn sq m for the eco-themed Ras al Hadd tourism project in South Sharqiyah at a cost of RO250mn. The three-phase project will see construction of an eco-themed resort, hotel and residential villas, a souq, a dedicated centre for wildlife preservation, observation park and a new market area.

Omran and its joint venture partner Muriya are developing at least 18 hotels, which will add over 4,200 rooms in the next four years across the country.

Another mega project, which has been in the works for long, was kick-started in October with a development agreement contract signed between US-based Omagine Inc and the Oman government.

The much-awaited US$2.5bn mixed-use tourism and real-estate project known as the ‘Omagine Project’ will be 60 per cent owned by Omagine Inc’s subsidiary Omagine LLC, and the rest by the office of Royal Court Affairs (RCA) of the sultanate, which will own 25 per cent, and two subsidiaries of Consolidated Contractors International Co (CCIC), which collectively own 15 per cent.

The ‘Omagine Project’ is planned to integrate cultural, entertainment and residential components, including hotels, commercial buildings, retail establishments and more than 2,000 residences to be developed for sale. The project will be developed on 1mn sq m of beachfront land in Seeb.

Liberty Star Announces, New Wholly Owned Subsidiary Hay Mountain Super Project LLC, Potential Funder Site Visit and Agreement on North Pipes Super Project Lease Option

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:39 AM on Monday, November 10th, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce progress on various matters:

“Liberty Star is moving forward to capitalize on the hard work it has expended over a number of years. We have a very positive outlook about our future as a result of these recent and ongoing developments.”

1. The Company has filed Articles of Organization with the Arizona Corporation Commission forming a wholly owned subsidiary named Hay Mountain Super Project LLC (“HMSP LLC” or the “Subsidiary”). The new Subsidiary is to manage Liberty Star’s premiere multi-target exploration property, the Hay Mountain Project, in southeast Arizona’s historic Tombstone mining district (Cochise County) for porphyry copper, gold, moly, silver, REEs and other associated metals. HMSP LLC will serve as the primary holding company for development of the potential ore bodies encompassed in the Hay Mountain area of interest covering some 42 square miles as identified by the extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical work, including ZTEM, performed to date. This is the first step toward establishing a corporate structure that will maximize operational and tax efficiencies, and enable the transfer of profits to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. where tax loss carry forwards can be used against positive cash flow, if any, from previous exploration expenses, while at the same time preserve the flexibility to engage joint enterprise investors in the independent development of multiple Hay Mountain targets as drilling verifies their candidacy as potential economically viable mining operations. Funding and management of the Hay Mountain Project and other Liberty Star surface studied and/or claimed lands totaling 42 square miles in the area will be administered through the Subsidiary.

Comments Jim Briscoe, Liberty Star’s CEO and Chief Geologist: “This progress toward assembling the corporate machinery forming the basis for attracting and engaging qualified joint enterprise investors to participate in developing the potentially extraordinary mineral content of the Hay Mountain properties, as documented in prior Liberty Star press releases, is a milestone event in Liberty Star’s growth. I am pleased and excited with our establishing this threshold into the next phase of revealing Hay Mountain’s potential as a world class mining district.”

2. Liberty Star announces that the Company’s CEO/Chief Geologist Jim Briscoe and Director (mining engineer-attorney) Brett Gross will host a three day visit including a two day site visit to the Hay Mountain Project area for a potential funder from the Arabian Peninsula who has signed a non-disclosure agreement. This trip is tentatively planned before Thanksgiving, dependent only on US entry visa and travel arrangements. Accompanying the two parties will be an independent geologist/porphyry copper expert hired by the guest as well as an arms- length Registered Professional Geologist (RPG) who is experienced in a particular (classic) porphyry copper skarn deposit in the SW USA, participated in intensive postgraduate study of porphyry copper skarn deposits and has used vegetation geochemistry like that used by Liberty Star at Hay Mountain (and supervised by our Technical Board Member – and Geochemist, Shea Clark Smith) and is familiar with distal halos of the Hay Mountain type skarn mineralization. In addition to the Hay Mountain Project area, the visit will include ASARCO’s Mission Mine and the Bisbee mining district, both of which are corollaries to Hay Mountain (exposed rather than covered). The tour will also include two other similar porphyry copper drilling projects and one small porphyry copper production facility with exploration potential. During the trip in this mineral rich area there will also be viewings of dormant porphyry copper, gold and silver mines, including Tombstone itself. These sites, all within a 60 mile radius of the Hay Mountain Project, will demonstrate and solidify the similarity of other large porphyry copper operations to the as yet undrilled Hay Mountain which lies hidden beneath shallow cover. The trip will take two days and a 3rd day is reserved for a second review of the technical details of the Hay Mountain data, and discussion of Joint Venture parameters.

3. The final Archaeological Assessment document has been finished by the Company’s contractor Antigua Archaeology LLC, and was submitted to the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) for their final approval on November 5, 2014. No significant archaeological material was found and the report recommends approval of our proposal as written. According to the ASLD, response time is dependent on the length of the queue but should take place in 30 to 90 days. This is the final step in the long approval process. When ASLD final approval is received, Liberty Star is ready to drill as soon as funding is in place.

4. The Company is getting more expressions of interest every day and expects to make additional presentation trips as described in number 2 until Phase 1 financing is attained. Currently there are three seemingly qualified entities that have expressed strong interest.

5. For more than a year, lengthy negotiations have been ongoing with Genesis Group International Inc. to option the North Pipes Super Project (uranium) which lies just south of the Utah border. Genesis has developed a unique, proprietary type of equipment and process to mining breccia pipe type vertical mineral ore bodies. The Company has executed a letter agreement subject to formal legal drafting. This will involve an exchange of Liberty Star’s real property and intellectual property pertaining to the North Pipes/ Arizona Strip properties. In exchange Liberty Star will receive a significant monthly payment toward retirement of its expenditures on the North Pipes Project. It will also receive a gross royalty (NSR – Net Smelter [mill return] Royalty type, which is common in the mineral industry) on production that would result from all metal commodities coming from any mining of the pipes. It is expected that this could commence in about six months from now, at which time full financial and state support will become available. Profitable operation of the breccia pipes even at current low uranium prices is anticipated from this rapid and unique mining equipment and approach.

Concludes Briscoe: “Liberty Star is moving forward to capitalize on the hard work it has expended over a number of years. We have a very positive outlook about our future as a result of these recent and ongoing developments.”

Liberty Star Updates Financing & News on the Hay Mountain Project for Porphyry Copper, Gold, Moly and Other Metals

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:50 PM on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is providing an update on its plans to finance the Phase 1 exploration drilling program on its premier property, the Hay Mountain Project, for porphyry copper, gold, moly and other metals in Cochise County, southeast Arizona. The Phase 1 financing requires an expenditure of USD $6.5 million to drill up to 50 vertical “mother” holes (to a depth of up to 5,000 feet) and up to eight “daughter” holes per mother hole, depending on what is encountered (News Release 189). Another 31 holes on our Federal lode mining claims adjacent to the Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits (MEPs) have subsequently been located, bringing the total number of planned, pre-positioned, permitted holes on the grid to 81. The Company is pursuing permitting on the entire grid simultaneously, allowing movement to almost any location within the geochemical, geophysical and geologic anomalies, depending on results of surrounding holes, as soon as that may be indicated by results of the previously drilled holes. The Company may not drill all 81 holes during Phase 1, but permitting the entire grid at once is more efficient in terms of time and costs given the lengthy permitting timeline under state and federal regulation. This would allow immediate continuation of Phase 2 drilling, with no time lag.

Phase 2 drilling could continue for up to an additional three or more years with multiple drills. Discovery of thin exposures of silicified and carbonate veined rock suggests that mineralization could be located at less depth than was previously suggested by old geologic maps. This, combined with the geochemistry and ZTEM geophysics, suggests a shallower top of the mineral zone and mineralization going to significant depth. In Phase 2 and beyond, planning could be for an open pit and a continuous deep underground skarn (altered limestone) mineral body.

The financing proposal is offered to foreign and domestic entities that have or might express an interest in the project as a joint venture (JV) arrangement:

1. The JV would be between partner and The Hay Mountain Project owned by Liberty Star, and would be managed by Liberty Star.

2. Partner would provide capital of $6.5 million for the Phase 1 drilling program and have an option to contribute $65 million for the second phase of drilling. Investors would also have the right of first refusal to contribute addition funds for the final permitting, design, construction and development of a mine(s) at Hay Mountain.

3. Liberty Star is not contemplating an arrangement exchanging stock to capitalize Phase 1 exploration drilling or subsequently Phase 2, and later phases for permitting, design and construction, which would be dilutive, but instead a Joint Venture, as is common in the industry.

The Company has received and anticipates receiving additional Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) from potential funders introduced by naseba/Naru Capital and other entities, foreign and domestic. These NDAs allow Liberty Star to disclose confidential scientific data to potential funders as part of the potential funders’ due diligence programs.

States Liberty Star’s CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe: “The value of the Hay Mountain Project may be greatly enhanced with the discovery of factors that may indicate mineralization near the surface, in addition to a continuation of a skarn mineral body to great depth, which would be mined by underground methods. We have completed surface studies, and have scheduled due diligence visits to the site. We have received word from the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) that our Plan of Operation with archaeology survey should be completed in one to three months, entirely dependent on their schedule. In effect, we are ready to get the diamond core drilling started. While I wish the process of financing Phase 1 drilling at Hay Mountain would quicken its pace, I am confident that the scientific data and the attractive JV proposal we have put forth will net us a suitable partner in due course.”

Engineer-Attorney Brett Gross Named to Liberty Star Board of Directors

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:11 PM on Monday, October 20th, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.–Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to announce mining engineer, entrepreneur, consultant and attorney Mr. Brett Gross of Denver, Colo. has joined the Liberty Star Board of Directors. Mr. Gross is a longtime LBSR shareholder dating from the first year of its founding and helped fund the Hay Mountain ZTEM survey last year.

About Mr. Gross:

Mr. Gross is a mining engineer (BS, Ohio State University, 1982; MS, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1988; PE, Colorado and Alabama) and attorney (JD, University of Denver, 2001) with over 30 years of experience, both domestic and international. His work experience includes surface and underground mining operations, engineering, and delivery of construction mega-projects across multiple industrial and commercial markets, and the practice of law related to each of these sectors. Brett brings a combination of professional skills that benefits every aspect of Liberty Star’s business. Brett’s engineering career began at Virginia Tech, with research focused on rock mechanics and the stability of underground openings, particularly the phenomenon of “coal bumps” and “rock bursts,” and studying methods to monitor stress changes in the longwall barrier pillar during the onset of the active longwall face. The ensuing years of his career have been intimately involved with a broad spectrum of engineering, operations, management and project delivery. Since 2002, Brett has practiced law both in private practice and as in-house counsel, negotiating and closing complex deals with what today is among the largest and most successful engineering and construction firms in the United States.

Jim Briscoe, Liberty Star CEO and Chief Geologist, comments, “Brett has a mining background, innovative ideas and solid connections with investors who may be interested in funding Phase 1 drilling. He has held LBSR stock for many years, and shares the goal of increasing our stock’s value through concrete activities toward the development of Hay Mountain and other projects. He will bring another spectrum to the Board as a mining engineer experienced in both open pit and underground mines, entrepreneur mentality, business experience, and legal background applied to heavy construction and mining agreements and negotiations. A recent full day, intensive trip to the Company facilities and the Hay Mountain target and adjacent similar exposed mines a few weeks ago, reinforced his enthusiasm and faith in Liberty Star and careful approach to exploration and understanding of mines and mining. We believe Brett will be a giant addition to our Board of Directors and we look forward to having him on the team.”

Neah Power Partners With Silent Falcon to Integrate Fuel Cells Into Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

Formira® Hydrogen-on-Demand Technology Expected to Increase Mission Endurance and Enable Heavier Payloads; Jointly Published White Paper Available on Website

BOTHELL, WA–(Oct 15, 2014) – Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: NPWZ) will be partnering with Silent Falconâ„¢ UAS Technologies (‘Silent Falcon’) to integrate the formic acid reformer (Formiraâ„¢) based fuel cell technology into the Silent Falcon UAV. A jointly published white paper is available at www.neahpower.com and at www.silentfalconuas.com. The fuel cell could significantly increase the mission endurance by between two times to three times the current duration, as well as enable heavier payloads. Formic acid is a safe, energy dense fuel, allowing easy handling, distribution, and refueling in remote locations worldwide, unlike compressed hydrogen.

The patent pending Silent Falcon is a solar/electric, all composite, modular small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) designed for commercial, public safety, and military applications. With Silent Falcon’s solar electric propulsion system, rugged composite structure, and three interchangeable wing configurations, it is the first sUAS capable of meeting long range and long endurance mission profiles.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Silent Falcon UAS Technologies. We are looking forward to this joint development of extending the mission endurance for their UAS,” said Chris D’Couto, president and CEO of Neah Power Systems, Inc. “The Formira technology uses a liquid fuel, and is a very attractive energy option as it does not have the low energy density, safety and handling challenges of compressed hydrogen.”

John W. Brown, Silent Falcon CEO said, “I believe the biggest advantage to having a Neah fuel cell on board Silent Falcon will not only be the extra endurance, but the ability to carry heavier and power hungry payloads. This is already one of our most important competitive differentiators and is what is attracting lots of folks to our products. Neah will also give us the ability to offer extended endurance at night, which is huge from our perspective. We look forward to integrating this technology into our UAV for a demonstrable performance advantage and the ability to serve an even wider range of markets and applications.”
