NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2014 — Omagine, Inc.

(OTCQB:OMAG) after releasing the latest short sale data through October 6, 2014.

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.

Client Feature: Stria Lithium (SRA: TSX-V) Powering The Green Revolution

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:27 PM on Tuesday, October 7th, 2014

SRA: TSX-V

Why Stria Lithium?

  • Aiming to become one of the lowest cost producers in the world for battery- grade technology lithium — critical for high-technology green energy industries.
  • Management is key. Stria has assembled a truly world-class, experienced and accomplished team.
  • Stria’s strategic, cost-effective exploration substantially reduces the risks and expenditures of exploration by focusing on deposits that are readily available to advance.
  • Stria’s unique and extensive experience in understanding and utilizing the latest, most-advanced geophysical tools affords the Company a competitive edge within the industry.
  • The lithium market remains robust with tremendous upside potential versus other metals.

 

A New Source, a new process for technology lithium

Several foreign nations are already stockpiling materials critical to the emerging green technology economy, which means a reliable North American supply of high quality lithium-based products has never been more urgent. Stria believes Canada has a key role to play in the green tech economy, and plan to be a part of it by carving out a supply and technology niche in the critical and strategic metals world.

Proprietary Processing Technologies

Stria President and Chief Operating Officer Julien Davy said the company’s ultimate goal is to produce high-purity (99.999%) lithium metal or other lithium compounds that meet the needs of battery manufacturers for an environmentally sustainable supply option that dramatically reduces costs. “Any lithium process that significantly reduces production costs will help changing the battery market,” said Mr. Davy.

Pontax-Lithium property …

Stria holds 100 per cent ownership of the Pontax-Lithium property located in the west-central James Bay territory in northern Quebec.

The property, which Stria acquired from Khalkos Exploration Inc. in 2013, is host to a recently discovered swarm of a dozen spodumene-bearing (a lithium mineral) pegmatite dikes, each one metre to 10 metres in thickness, plus a series of small centimetre-thick dikelets.

The lithium-bearing dikes outcrop over an area of 450 metres by 100 metres (for more information, click here to view the NI-43-101 Technical Report (Girard,2013) on the Pontax-Lithium Property).

Close-up view of Pontax’s spodumene-bearing pegmatite. The light grey spodumene is idiomorphic and lath-shaped. The intergranular grey mineral is quartz.


Willcox Lithium / Arizona

Stria holds 100 per cent ownership of the Willcox Lithium project, located in Cochise County, Arizona. Acquired through the purchase of Pueblo Lithium LLC from AGR-O Phosphate Inc. in 2014, the property is comprised of 61 lode mining claims.

The purpose of the 2014 Willcox drilling program is to confirm historic exploration results and to test groundwater samples for use in Stria’s proprietary membrane processing technologies now under development. This technology will allow Stria to recover lithium from brine type deposits without the need of large scale evaporation ponds and their associated environmental impacts.

Robix Sets Up COV Construction Photo Gallery and Targets Q4 for COV Launch

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:38 AM on Thursday, October 2nd, 2014

LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA–(Oct. 2, 2014) – Robix Alternative Fuels Inc. (“Robix” or the “Corporation”) (CSE:RZX) (FRANKFURT:R0X) announced today that the construction of the first commercial Clean Ocean Vessel (COV) is progressing, with a Q4 2014 target for launch. All materials have been received and construction of the COV is partially complete at Rayco Steel Ltd, of Sparwood, British Columbia.

Robix is launching a photo gallery on its website to show the progression of the COV construction. Please visit http://www.robixfuels.com/Robix%20photos/. Pictures will be uploaded periodically as construction progresses.

Working closely with the consulting marine engineers, architects and Transport Canada, Robix has made significant engineering improvements to the original COV designed and built in the 1990s. These enhancements will ensure compliance with 2014 certifications, and improve operating parameters of the COV. The 40ft COV is a twin-hull (catamaran) design with contra rotating drums capable of recovering oil from water in virtually any sea conditions. To date, approximately 50% of one hull has been fabricated with all the components cut and ready for assembly of the second hull. Fabrication of the drums is complete, and they are being prepared to be precision turned and balanced before assembly into the COV. Management is expecting to demonstrate the COV to key customers and officials on the west coast of Canada in Q4 2014.

“I am pleased with the progress to date on the COV, especially with the engineering improvements we have made that will enable us to make a more state-of-the-art product, compliant with 21st century certification requirements” commented Nathan Hansen President and CEO of Robix. “Working with Transport Canada throughout this design optimization and construction phase should enable us to easily meet and exceed global regulations for sea worthiness. When we demonstrate the COV in the coming quarter to our key potential customers, they will be viewing the latest oil recovery technology on the market. I expect the market demand for this product to be strong and we will be ready to take orders.”

About Robix:

The Corporation is an “industrial products/technology” company, offering to investors a unique opportunity to participate in a leading company in the business of ownership of patents, and their development from commercialization to worldwide expansion through various business arrangements. Robix owns a Clean Ocean Vessel (“COV”) patent, which is an oil spill recovery vessel design with the capability to recover oil in rough and debris laden sea conditions.

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Sept. 30, 2014) – Xylitol Canada Inc.

Proceeds from the Placement will be used to fund xylose plant development initiatives including engineering, design, process optimization, and general overhead requirements associated with the xylose plant project(s). In addition, a portion of the proceeds will be deployed to bolster the working capital base of the Company’s growing product division.

All common shares issued pursuant to the Placement are subject to a hold period of four months from the closing date in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable Canadian securities laws.

Tom Kierans, a director of the Xylitol Canada, and Dundee Agricultural Corporation, which now holds 27.55% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, each participated in the Placement. “I would like to thank both Tom Kierans and Dundee for their continued confidence and support as investors,” stated Andrew Reid, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to insiders nor the consideration being paid by insiders will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company has not filed a material change report prior to the closing of the Placement as details of participation of the insiders had not been finalized prior to today.

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.

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.”

CLIENT FEATURE: Robix (RZX: CSE) Revolutionary Oil Spill Clean Up Technology

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:41 PM on Thursday, September 25th, 2014

RZX: CSE

The Corporation is an “industrial products/technology” company, offering to investors a unique opportunity to participate in a leading company in the business of ownership of patents, and their development from commercialization to worldwide expansion through various business arrangements.

Highly Cost Effective – Clean Ocean Vessel

  • The COV’s rapid recovery rate and large on-board storage result in low per barrel recovery cost.
  • The COV’s simple design minimizes down time for repair and maintenance.
  • A two-man crew can be easily trained and the COV vessel can operate long hours without interruption
  • Detailed construction progress report is expected in August 2014, with testing and commissioning of the COV anticipated in Q3 of 2014

Design Versatility

  • COV’S can be scaled to meet various application requirements (sizes range from 10 Ft., 20 Ft., 40 Ft., 80 Ft., 100 Ft. (references to length of vessel
  • A standard 40-foot COV is 40 feet in length, 26 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth
  • The following page has a 3D visual description of a COV
  • Recently completed the engineering drawings for the Clean Ocean Vessel (COV) and ordered critical components to initiate construction on the COV

Recent Highlights

  • Creating a new business division, through a subsidiary entity, to enter into the marine industry.
  • Announced that Rick Carson, of Montreal, PQ, has agreed to join Robix as a Strategic Advisor.
  • Announced that it intends to enter into an agreement with Rayco Steel Inc., wherein Rayco shall work on completion of engineering construction drawings for the anticipated construction of the first Clean Ocean Vessel.

How the COV compares to the competition:

  • Rates of oil recovered and recovery-throughput efficiencies are noted as “oil rate of recovery” (ORR) and “recovery efficiency” (RE).
  • The water surface lifting force generated by the COV’s patented contra-rotating drums acts in a suction or pumping manner that increases the ORR compared to conventional skimmer systems and the RE of the COV is in the 90-97% range. This is competitive with best in class 21st century technology in terms of ORR and RE.
  • Further improvements to the ORR (in terms of gallons per minute) could easily catapult the COV to “top three” status, by increasing the surface area of the drums through design modifications without impairing the stability of the vessel which is inherent to the COV design.
  • When our competitors’ skimmer systems meet waves above 18 inches, they are forced to suspend service. The COV operates in rough sea conditions (as high as 8 feet waves), significantly out-performing its competitors, and stands in a class of its own.

Company Objectives

  • Seeks to establish itself as a leading intellectual property holder to help meet the worlds growing energy needs, while considering the significant requirement to find and use the most effective integrated green energy solutions.
  • Protection of the environment, whether it is on land, sea, or in the air is still a growing global concern and in the 21st century, more than ever, it is imperative that effective products and services be available. Since its incorporation, Robix has sought to expand its capability to package and deliver these critical resources.
