What a Run...(so far)

My oh my...what a run we have had. Just when it appeared we may have over extended ourselves, the juniors get a second wind and kept pushing upwards. As predicted, winter brings now only that cold Canadian front down through the states, but also drill rigs to the frozen Saskatchewan/Labradorian uranium lands (if Labradorian is not correct we apologize, however we shall continue to use it until correct...ignorant people shall stay ignorant until corrected!). Those rigs provide cores which in turn provide a steady stream of news flow. We have seen many of our favorites "perk" up as they have begun, or shall soon begin to drill on their properties. OilsandsQuest (formerly Canwest Petroleum) has seen its share price jump $1 over the past few weeks, Pitchstone has more than doubled from our call to double our holdings at the bottom, Canalaksa is up nearly 25%, Ur Energy has doubled and SXR has been up almost 90% in the past few weeks.

Yes fireworks have been flying, but this is not the time to take profits, not even short-term profits (although there will be a time for that in the coming months). We shall stick to our favorites, and will soon add a few new GEMS to our portfolio in the coming weeks. This is a new field with new opportunities appearing all the time, it is our duty as investars to determine which offer the best risk-to-reward ratio and then seize the opportunity. Our previous post added some new stocks to our portfolio, but we did not give any reason for the additions. We apologize, but must confess that we were busy and our computers were giving us some problems (think Murphy's Law).

We added a new soon-to-producer in a very friendly mining country. This stock was FSY, otherwise known as Forsys. It trades on the Toronto know and has the Valencia Deposit in Namibia. Yes this country is in Africa, but it is much like South Africa in that it is very stable. In fact it is ranked on par with Canada as far as political stability is concerned (remember the French-Canadians want Quebec to form its own territory and become a free standing country). Paladin operates in this country as well as Rio Tinto through its huge Rossing Mine, so the country has a history in this field, and infrastructure in place and nearby.

Next we recommended ESO, which intrigues us very much so. It reminds us of OilsandsQuest when we first bought due to its low price, but most importantly a nice prospective piece of land with a successful drill history. This company will approach this drilling season much the same way Oilsands did last year's; drill around what you know is historically there and then pan out. There is a historical drill core that returned approximately 3.14% U308 on this land and the company plans to drill 3 holes around that one using modern techniques. Keep in mind that this land is in close proximity to Cluff Lake, which seems more and more likely to be the next Super Deposit.

Finally we added SSE and SAN, which are Silver Spruce Resources and Santoy respectively. Both companies have large prospective landholdings in Labrador and seem to be well positioned around uranium occurrences and known deposits. These are speculative plays, but give you a large area to drill around and find some yellowcake.

We still expect many of the uranium juniors to double from these prices and have a good run through the New Year. When we stop buying, we will notify you, just as we will when we begin to move back out of some of our positions accumulated for speculation. Until next time, keep your head on straight and refrain from panicking on pull-backs, those have shown to be the best time to accumulate.

    Why is it that Forsys with its Valencia project and near producer status in 2009 is being valued at a measly 120M mcap while others with virtually no proven reserves (and no producer plans at all) are valued more?

    So many like JNR, AZM, CXX, TXM etc whle all being very good explorers in their own right, are today worth more than Forsys. Am I missing something or that because it's project is in Namibia its kinda like out of sight out of mind for many investors?

    Santoy is a mixed bag, good prospective landholdings in Central Labrador Mining Belt around CXX and AXU and run by Ron Netolitzky (big plus) but their U308 exploration department has little or no previous u308 specific exploration experience. The big fly in the ointment is their share structure - looks like a little too much share dilution than is normal with grassroots explorers.

    If you like the CMB and using other peoples money for exploration check out Altius Minerals.
