Hallo Odin,
diese Diskussion hatten wir am Montag, 18. Februar 2008, 12:02, schon einmal. 
Ich kann nur sagen, ich kann deine Entscheidung verstehen und finde sie nachvollziehbar. Ich bin ja schon längere Zeit raus und bin auch in NGG rein.
Heute ist allerdings Vangold schön 7,5% hoch gelaufen und hat eine schöne große weiße Kerze produziert. Ist das aber die Trendwende? Ich glaube nicht. Gold und besonders Öl explorieren kostet viel viel Geld und NGG produziert!!!

[b] POSITIVE GEOCHEMICAL SAMPLING RESULTS INDICATE PROXIMAL KIMBERLITE PIPE IN PAN AFRICAN’S MADAGASCAR DIAMOND PROJECT
[/b]
Vancouver,
British Columbia — PAN AFRICAN MINING CORP. (the “Company”) is pleased
to report that results have now been received for detailed follow-up
sampling of certain minor tributaries of the Fandiavo River in the
South-east of Madagascar within the Company’s license area B3 near the
port of Manakara. A tight clustering of samples with high ilmenite
counts was outlined in a minor ephemeral tributary in the upper reaches
of the drainage basin. These samples include ilmenites with perovskite
reaction rims, which are typically indicative of minimal transport from
a primary kimberlite source. The restricted distribution of the
positive samples coupled with the ilmenite surface textures strongly
suggest a local point source in the form of a proximal kimberlite pipe.
The initial focus of
the Company’s diamond program in Madagascar remains its B3 license
area. The first alluvial diamonds from Madagascar were reported to have
been recovered by artisinal gold miners from the Sandranampano River.
These were reputedly well-formed crystals of good quality. However,
despite subsequent systematic sampling of this river, no primary
kimberlite source of these stones has yet been located.
Initial
reconnaissance and follow-up sampling by the Company of its B3 license
area recovered a small number of encouraging samples in the Fandiavo
River, about 5 km west of the Sandranampano River. Hence the present
round of follow-up sampling was carried out with a view toward further
evaluating the potential of this area and in particular several of the
tributaries in the upper reaches of the drainage basin.
The geometry of the
drainage network in the B3 area indicates that there have been numerous
river “piracy” events which have modified the headwaters of the streams
over a long period of time. This process typically involves headwater
erosion of one river that captures the course of a second drainage,
thus diverting or pirating the latter’s headwaters. In this instance,
there are now strong indications that the modern headwaters of the
Fandiavo were originally linked to the very linear, structurally
controlled Sandranampano River. The potential kimberlite pipe in the
upper Fandiavo basin indicated by the latest round of local sampling
results thus represents a likely source of the four Stapoundzi diamonds
reportedly found in 1907 in the area.
According to Dr.
Andy Moore, P.Geol. and a Qualified Person, who manages the Company’s
diamond exploration program, “ Our recent sampling results combined
with geophysical data and anecdotal evidence of earlier diamond
discoveries in this area provide a compelling case for the existence a
diamond-bearing kimberlite pipe within the Company’s B3 license area in
Madagascar. Our prime target area in the vicinity of the Fandiavo River
has now been narrowed to a small zone measuring less than 2 km x 2 km
in the upper reaches of the drainage basin. Our exploration teams are
now being mobilized to locate the source of the instant anomaly at the
outset of the dry season in the near future.”

Hallo Beryll,
schön, dass du nicht nur nimmst sondern auch gibst.
Ich habe das so verstanden, dass sie das Nickelvorkommen identifiziert und gebohrt haben und dass es zu klein ist, um es zu erschließen.
Deshalb suchen sie nach neuen Nickelvorkommen und haben bereits 7 neue identifiziert, 2 davon werden mit höchster Priorität erkundet.
ZitatOf the seven new targets, two have been identified by management as the highest priority for immediate exploration and potential development.
ZitatAccordingly, the Company is now exploring for additional nickel laterite targets

Hallo Beryll,
herzlich willkommen im Thread.
ZitatHowever, management concluded that this deposit is not large enough on a stand alone basis to support commercial exploitation.
Leider scheint das Nickelvorkommen für den Abbau nicht groß genug zu sein. Schade.
Grüße GW
Hat jemand von euch schon ´mal über Kobalt nachgedacht / recherchiert, das ja öfter ´mal zusammen mit Nickel oder Kupfer auftritt?
Ist , glaube ich jedenfalls, ein strategisches Metall, das u. a. zur Erhöhung der Verschleißfestigkeit dem Stahl beigemischt wird.

NEWS RELEASE
VANGOLD REPORTS ON UGANDA PROPERTIES
February 28, 2008 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Vangold Resources Ltd. “Vangold” holds 20
Exploration Licences in Uganda through Rwenzori Copper & Nickel Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary. Targeted minerals include gold, nickel – PGM, and copper – cobalt.
Mr. Locke B. Goldsmith, P.Eng., P.Geo., V. P. Exploration, presently in Uganda, has provided the
following report:
Vangold’s history of exploration in Uganda dates from 1994. The Kafunjo, Kilembe, and Fort Portal
projects were developed in the following years. Active exploration resumed in 2007, with programs
planned and in progress in 2008 on all licences.
Releases in January 2008 of airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical surveys covering two areas
(Blocks 1 & 6) have been purchased and are being interpreted by a geophysicist. As additional Blocks
are released the data will be acquired.
Programs are now being organized in Kampala. Letters of introduction to regional authorities have been
provided from the Geological Survey. Field examinations will begin in March. A new 4x4 Toyota Land
Cruiser has been purchased and other field supplies are on hand.
Kafunjo Licences
Three adjacent licences are located in southwest Uganda near the triple junction of Tanzania, Rwanda,
and Uganda. A strong 7 km long coincident pairing of magnetic and gravity anomalies occurs on a trend
which arcs from the ultramafic-hosted nickel-PGM deposits at Kabanga and Kagera in Tanzania.
Previous exploration by Vangold (1994-1995) included a drill test to depths of approximately 350m.
Reinterpretation of the geophysics and drill core suggests that the upper part of the causative body is
600-800m below surface. Study of pyrrhotite-silica veinlets determined that they are of hydrothermal
origin. Sulphur isotopes are similar to those from the massive copper – silver deposits at Mt. Isa,
Australia.
Possible deposit models include nickel – PGM in ultrasmafics, massive to disseminated copper
sulphides, and IOCG (Iron oxide - copper – gold) of the Olympic Dam, Australia type.
Work now commenced includes a gravity survey over the centre of the anomaly. A proposal for the
survey has been submitted to the geophysical section of the Petroleum Department of the Uganda
Geological Survey, for completion in mid-March. Diamond drilling to depths of 1000m or more is
planned. A suitable drill is being sought; one or more may be available by April.

Kilembe Licences
Five contiguous licences extend southwesterly from the formerly productive Kilembe Mines Ltd.
(Falconbridge) copper – cobalt mine which operated from 1956 – 1972. The area covered by the
Vangold licences includes the favorably mineralized horizon. Exploration by Kilembe Mines in the 1956
– 1961 period identified several copper – cobalt occurrences on which a few confirmatory holes were
drilled. At the time, mining centered on the eastern deposits and the southwestern deposits were
regarded as future developments.
Exploration this year will begin with GPS relocation of the occurrences, geological mapping and
sampling, and possibly drilling.
West Nile Licences
Nine licences are positioned adjacent to the DRC – Uganda border. The rocks to be investigated are
Proterozoic metavolcanics and amphibolites which may host gold deposits. Occurrences of placer gold
are known; no bedrock sources of gold have been found. These strata trend southwesterly into DRC
where important gold deposits are under development.
Initial examinations will include prospecting and sampling. Detailed programs will be planned as may
be warranted.
Fort Portal Licence
One licence northeast of Fort Portal is held to cover a copper – cobalt and a gold occurrence, both
located on a segment of the productive Kilembe series of rocks. Exploration by Vangold (1996 – 1998)
relocated a geochemical and electromagnetic anomaly which had been identified and drilled by Kilembe
Mines. One drill hole by Anglovaal (option from Vangold) in 1998 was sited incorrectly and did not
intersect the zone. Placer gold has been recovered by artisan miners from the southern part of the
licence; a bedrock source has not been located.
Work will include reestablishing the location of the copper – cobalt mineralization and positioning of
drill stations. Prospecting of the gold occurrence will begin.
Kamwenge Licence
One licence is held in an area of gold occurrences southeast of Fort Portal. Vangold has done no work
on this prospect. Reconnaissance prospecting will determine the nature of additional work.
Buguri Licence
One licence in eastern Uganda is underlain by Archean Nyanza metavolcanics, a belt of rocks which
hosts the mines of the Lake Victoria goldfields of Tanzania and Kenya. Historic work on the permit and
vicinity by BGRM includes stream sediment, soil, pan concentrate, and outcrop sampling. Laterite /
saprolite cover is extensive. Results indicate that targets for gold mineralization are present. No drilling
was done.

purchased and is now interpreting.
The program will first synthesize the new geophysical information with the regional geology.
Thereafter field examination will begin to determine detailed exploration. Auger sampling to bedrock
and ground geophysics may be considered, prior to drilling.

VANGOLD REPORTS ON OIL AND GAS INTERESTS
IN KENYA, RWANDA AND ARMENIA
February 28, 2008 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Vangold Resources Ltd. ("Vangold”) has been actively working in Kenya, Rwanda and Armenia over the last 18 to 24 months. President and CEO Dal Brynelsen, comments: “We have successfully opened offices in Yerevan and Nairobi to support our properties in Armenia, Kenya and Rwanda. We have staffed these offices with excellent technical people who have achieved an exceptional amount of information gathering and compilation with the help of consultants in the UK and Canada. All of the three properties which cover in total 43,000 sq kms have exhibited excellent potential for hydrocarbons. We are very encouraged and look forward with great excitement to the next several years for which we owe special thanks to our technical staff. At my request they have prepared the following report on our current operations and future plans.”
Kenya
Mr. Francis M. Karanja, the lead exploration geologist, reports: Vangold Resources Kenya, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vangold, has acquired an office in the Nairobi industrial area to provide technical support for operations in Kenya and Rwanda. Vangold Kenya has retained the services of a technical team comprising three geoscientist consultants and one administration officer. The three geoscientists include an exploration geologist, exploration geophysicist and a senior geologist. The experienced technical team has developed a clear operational plan and budget. The team has also acquired the SMT Kingdom software to undertake in-house interpretation and handling of the geophysical and geological data.
In Kenya, Vangold has acquired a large [12,270 km2] land package [Block 3A] which partly lies along the proven hydrocarbons fairway of Central Africa Rift system [CARS]. The Block 3A acreage occupies a convergence area of three sedimentary basins of Anza, Mochesa and Lamu Embayment. The Anza basin [Graben] in Kenya is the termination rift of the Central African Rift System in north east Kenya. The basin forms the south-eastern extension of the prolific Melut and Muglad rift basins in southern Sudan where working petroleum system have been proved and oil discovered. Potential source rocks for hydrocarbon generation and evidences of a Cretaceous working [oil generation] petroleum system exist in Anza Graben in Chalbi sub-basin to the north-east of Block 3A. Past petroleum exploration in Block 3A include geological, geophysical and geochemical studies resulting in establishment of the geological setting and prospectivity of the block. The prospects associated with Anza Graben in Block 3A acreage are the most promising and will be given the first priority by Vangold management. Two exploratory wells have been drilled in Block 3A.
Vangold has already acquired the previous data on petroleum operations in Block 3A from the National Oil Corporation of Kenya and now in the process of re-processing the data followed by interpretation, basin modeling, data integration and establishment of leads/prospects in Blocks 3A & 3B. Before the end of the Initial Exploration Period of three [3] contract years, Vangold will acquire more 2D/3D seismic data and drill one exploratory well.
In addition to Block 3A, Vangold has a one year study option for Block 3B [12,270 km2] which lies in Lamu Embayment basin south of Block 3A. The block has adequate magnetic and gravity data with sparse seismic coverage. Two exploratory wells have been drilled in the block. Vangold will re-process the relevant geophysical data and undertake interpretation and integration of the data including basin modeling for possible existing of active Tertiary, Cretaceous or Jurassic age petroleum systems. The hydrocarbons prospectivity of Block 3B based on the existing data will be established and a lead map for the block generated. Vangold has the option to acquire the block under the Production Sharing Contract [PSC] or drop the acreage after one year study.
The leadership in Kenya, both the government and opposition are actively engaged in mediation talks that has resulted in reduced incidences of violence in the western region of the country. The eastern part of the country where Block 3 falls has remained unaffected and oil exploration activities of Lion petroleum [block 1], CNOOC [block 9] and Lundin [block 10a] continue unabated. Recent intervention by the US State Department, European Union, African Union and the rest of the world augurs well for the outcome of the talks.
Rwanda
On March 1, 2007 Vangold reported that it was granted the exclusive rights to commence negotiations for a production sharing license for oil and gas in the northwestern part of Rwanda. The concession, a 2,708 sq kms area, represented 11% of the land mass of Rwanda. Vangold’s technical team had previously undertaken a technical review of all information available and negotiations commenced. Subsequently, in October, 2007 Vangold successfully negotiated and signed a Technical Evaluation Agreement for the East Kivu Graben Basin area located in the Kivu Graben. A one year technical study narrowed the area to 1,631 sq kms.
The main achievement Vangold envisages in Rwanda Kivu Graben is the establishment of the existence of potential sedimentary basin where hydrocarbons may have accumulated. The task to achieve the objective will involve undertaking a defined and specified airborne geophysical survey [gravity & Magnetic] programme in the entire Vangold’s Kivu Graben block that includes the Rwanda portion of the Lake Kivu waters. The acquired data will be subjected to interpretation using state-of-art technology. Vangold has evidence of a possible working petroleum system in Kivu Graben with the existence of high carbon chain hydrocarbons in the deep waters of Lake Kivu. Such hydrocarbons originate from a source rock adequately matured and deeply [<2,000m] in-bedded in the possible Tertiary lake sediments sequences in Kivu Graben. Lake sediments of Tertiary age outcrop at Gisakura area in south-west Rwanda.
The Kivu Graben is the southern extension of the Albertine Graben in Uganda and DRC where a Tertiary age working petroleum system has been proved and oil discovered by Tullow Oil and Heritage Oil. We believe a similar [Tertiary age] working petroleum system exists in Kivu Graben with a possibility of oil generation and accumulation in Kivu Graben. Therefore, Vangold has further commissioned ASAR imagery study of lake Kivu waters as a similar study in Lake Tanganyika to the south has revealed 10 oil seeps
Armenia
Mr. Gerry Sheehan, Managing Director of Blackstairs Energy plc reports as follows on Vangold’s operations in Armenia:
An Exploration and Production Sharing Contract was signed with the Government of Armenia on April 27th 2007. The contract covers the areas designated “Blocks 4, 5 and 6” and extends to c. 13,775 sq. km (c. 3.4 Million acres) in central and southern Armenia. The contract will be operated by Blackstairs Energy plc (50%) in partnership with Vangold Resources (50%). The associated “Exploration Licence Permit” and the “Licence Agreement” permits were also approved by the Armenian authorities in May 2007 and December 2007 respectively. These permits allow unrestricted access to the Licence Area and the commencement of various technical operations in the blocks.
The term of the contract is for 5 years with two additional extensions each of 2 years negotiable with the authorities. The work programme over the initial 5 years comprises Geological Studies, Gravity and Geochemical studies, Remote Sensing (Satellite Imagery) and 170 km of 2D seismic. The financial commitment is 2.4 Million $US over the initial 5 year term.
The commercial terms of the Exploration and Production Sharing Contract are attractive and serve to ensure that even quite small accumulations of either oil or gas will be viable for commercial development. Armenia currently imports all of its hydrocarbons and there is a ready open market for any indigenous hydrocarbons.
Geological Summary and Prospectivity
The sedimentary basins of Armenia are relatively under-explored. The geological history is complex due to the major Caucasus mountain–building structural events. Two main sedimentary basins are recognized- the “South-Western Basins” extending west to Armenia’s border with Turkey and the “Central Depression” covering the central part of the country extend east to the border with oil-rich Azerbaijan and south towards the border with Iran. Within these basins lie a series of smaller complex sub-basins. The structural style identified within these basins displays good potential for the development of multiple hydrocarbons traps with widespread evidence of folding, faulting and complex fault thrusts. The Central Depression covers most of the joint-venture’s Licence Area and contains a broad age range of sediments from the oldest Devonian era sequences right up to thick recent sediments. This broad sequence offers the potential for the development of various reservoir, source and seal combinations. In the extreme south in Block 6, adjacent to the Iranian border, a Jurassic-Cretaceous sub-basin is virtually unexplored and may offer significant hydrocarbon potential.
Previous hydrocarbon exploration has been patchy and unsystematic and undertaken using fairly basic geological and geophysical techniques. From 1947 up to 1990 the former Soviet authorities undertook fairly sporadic programmes of seismic and drilling, often lacking in geological and adequate seismic control. Two key well results emerged from this phase of exploration. The Shorakhpur-1P well east of the capital Yerevan encountered minor oil. Further west at Armvir the Oktemberyan-13E well flowed gas at low rates for 6 months. Numerous other boreholes encountered indications of both oil and gas and several oil and seeps are also well documented; these are scattered widely throughout the Licence Area. This phase was followed in the 1990’s by a seismic and drilling campaign by AAEC. Their well- Azat-1- drilled to 3524 metres and again encountered minor oil shows before being terminated for operational reasons. In 2007 Transeuro Energy Corp. drilled the Kamir-1 exploration well and reported an extensive reservoir interval with well logs indicating a thick zone of low gas saturations. Transeuro also reports that this well has now been suspended with a view to additional logging and testing programmes later in 2008.
The exploration programmes to date offer sufficient encouragement to infer the development of a working petroleum system. However, a more systematic geological and geophysical evaluation programme is required to advance our understanding of the hydrocarbon prospectivity. The Blackstairs-Vangold joint-venture is now well advanced in developing a new geological model for the area. A team of local and western professionals has been assembled and a technical work progamme is underway. The historical data is being carefully analysed and incorporated to a modern GIS database. These data are already yielding valuable geological information and greatly assisting in the evolution of a new geological model for the area. In order to understand the major controls on structure formation and sedimentation a Remote Sensing study (high-resolution Satellite Imagery) was completed in 2007. This is being followed up with more focused evaluation of certain areas highlighted from the initial phase and field validation of newly identified geological trends is ongoing.
A major gravity survey (5000 stations) over Block 4 and 5 also started in 2007 and will resume in early summer 2008- this will serve to elucidate the subsurface structural trends and will be integrated with the Satellite Imagery and field structural and geological mapping. The ultimate objective of these studies is to highlight areas for a focussed programme of 2D seismic acquisition targeted at significant structural trends in promising fairways for reservoir, seal, source rock and migration route development. Ultimately the joint-venture aims to assemble a good quality prospect portfolio and rank these individually for a future drilling campaign.
In summary, the geological and geophysical data from the historic exploration programmes indicate extensive basinal areas with encouraging evidence that a viable petroleum system may be developed. The nature and complexity of the structural trends would indicate that a broad range of trap size is possible. The extensive stratigraphic sequences should offer multiple reservoir possibilities. The modern systematic exploration programmes being undertaken by the Blackstairs-Vangold joint-venture should considerably add to our understanding of this petroleum system.
Blocks 4, 5 and 6 cover a very large area of virtually un-explored terrain. There are numerous and widespread indications of hydrocarbons, and the Licence Area represents a good quality acreage portfolio in a strategic region.
Management of Technical Activities & Licence Administration
Immediately on signing the Petroleum Contract, the Blackstairs Energy-Vangold Resources joint-venture began putting a technical and office infrastructure in place in Yerevan. An experienced expatriate General Manager was appointed, local technical (geological and geophysical) financial and administrative staff recruited, and an office building with excellent communications and exploration technical software was configured. These activities are supervised and supported by the Blackstairs technical team in Dublin Ireland. Considerable advances have already been made in the technical evaluation the Licence Area.

Analyse
26.02.08 Dragon (AUS, Kurs 0,12 A$, MKP 88,5 Mio A$) meldet für das Dezemberquartal (Juniquartal) aus dem schwedischen Svartliden Projekt eine unveränderte Produktion von 10.534 oz (Dragon Anteil), was einer Jahresrate von etwa 40.000 oz entspricht. Dragon hält einen Anteil von 80 % des Projekts. Bei Nettoproduktionskosten von 475 $/oz (385 $/oz) und einem Verkaufspreis von 756 $/oz (540 $/oz) konnte die Bruttogewinnspanne von 155 auf 281 $/oz gesteigert werden, was auf die fast vollständige Schließung der Vorwärtsverkäufe zurückzuführen ist. Im finnischen Vammala Projekt wurden 4.183 oz bei Nettoproduktionskosten von 1.141 $/oz gefördert. Der Verkaufspreis erreichte 726 $/oz. Das Projekt sollte eigentlich bereits 2005 in Produktion gehen und jährlich 80.000 oz fördern. Dragon erwartet aus beiden Minen eine jährliche Produktion von etwa 100.000 oz. Im Zara Projekt in Eritrea, an dem Dragon einen Anteil von 20 % hält, konnte die Ressource auf 208.000 oz (152.000 oz Gold) erweitert werden. Die Vorwärtsverkäufe wurden von 82.000 auf 10.000 oz reduziert und decken noch einen Produktionszeitraum von 0,2 Jahren ab. Die unrealisierten Verluste aus den Vorwärtsverkäufen fielen 28,4 auf 5,0 Mio A$ zurück, was 422 $/oz entspricht. Am 30.06.07 (31.12.06) stand einem Cashbestand von 2,8 Mio A$ (11,6 Mio A$) eine gesamte Kreditbelastung von 59,1 Mio A$ (66,8 Mio A$) gegenüber. Beurteilung: Durch die Glattstellung der Vorwärtsverkäufe hat sich die fundamentale Lage der Dragon erheblich verbessert. Sollte Dragon eine jährliche Produktion von 100.000 oz bei einer Gewinnspanne von 100 A$/oz umsetzen können, würde das KGV auf 8,9 zurückfallen. Problematisch bleibt die hohe Kreditbelastung. Sollte das Vammala Projekt erfolgreich umgesetzt werden können, würde sich eine spekulative Kaufmöglichkeit eröffnen. Wir setzen für Dragon ein maximales Kauflimit von 0,12 A$ und ein Kursziel von 0,25 A$ fest und stellen Dragon zum Kauf. Empfehlung: Halten, unter 0,12 A$ kaufen, aktueller Kurs 0,12 A$, Kursziel 0,25 A$. Dragon wird an mehreren deutschen Börsen gehandelt (vgl. Verkaufsempfehlung vom 30.08.07 bei 0,115 A$).

Latest Core Drill Results From Pan African's Tranomaro Uranium Project Confirm Further Expansion of the Zone: Results Include 6.0 m of 3.44 lbs/sh.t U3O8 (0.15% U)
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - February 18, 2008) - PAN AFRICAN MINING CORP. (TSX-V: PAF) (FRANKFURT: P2A) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that assay results from two more drill holes completed in late 2007 on its Tranomaro Uranium Project in the South-East of Madagascar have now been received from ALS Laboratory Group in Vancouver. These holes are part of Phase 1 of the core drilling program which was commenced last year. 11 holes have now been completed to a typical depth of 70-130 m at old French Mine No. 37. The current drill program is presently focused on exploration of one of several highly mineralized priority target areas within the 206 squares held by the Company in the Tranomaro region, covering an aggregate license area of approximately 1287 sq. km.
Assays from the latest two holes reported show significant Uranium mineralization up to 0.15% U, which can be traced below the old Mine No. 37 and to the West of it. Mineralization there has been confirmed so far in core drill holes to a depth of up to 100 m. Mine 37 was in operation by the French Commissariat a L'Energie Atomique ("CEA") through the late 1950s, focusing on extraction of U from several of the high-grade readily minable surface deposits in the area. The Uranium typically occurs in this region as uranothorianite in bands of pyroxenite. The French chemically treated the ore to separate out the U in order to supply its nuclear power industry at home. The Company views the region as offering great potential due to the more than 100 targets which have now been identified, including both high-grade anomalies which remain unexploited by the French as well as large lower-grade deposits which were typically ignored in the 1950s era.
The following tables present selected Uranium assay results from mineralized intersections of the most recent two drill holes reported. Previously, 9 core holes were drilled in a North-South line parallel to the face of the old French Mine 37. Those holes were spaced at 30 m intervals and cover an extent of approximately 240 m length N-S. All of those holes yielded significant Uranium values and the Company is now drilling another line of holes 20 m to the West in a line parallel to the first one, searching for extension of the mineralized pyroxenite horizon. The N-S spacing of 30 m and the drill hole inclination of 55 degrees to the E was maintained as applied in the first line. The two new drill holes confirm the down-dip continuation of the mineralized strata to the West. The size of the highly mineralized lens is bounded only to the East, remaining open in the N-S direction as well as to the West, and at depth.

The results to date are most encouraging and continue to expand the size of the U-bearing zone in and around old French Mine No. 37. They signal that our Uranium exploration team has refined their understanding of the regional and local geology as well as the ore petrology to such an extent that the field work can be accelerated in pace and very target orientated. The evaluation by our field team of more than one hundred abandoned open pit Uranium mines and radiometric and geochemical anomalies is ongoing and enables us to select promising drill targets efficiently and quickly. A small, portable drill rig is used for scout drilling of shallow holes. The heavy Atlas-Copco CS-14, capable of reaching far below 500 m depths, is positioned where our team has identified potentially important anomalies or mineralized shoots. Besides continuing at Mine 37, upcoming targets for the big drill will be in the vicinity of Mines 52 to 56, N of Tranomaro.
While the Company is directing the exploration work, the Atlas Copco CS-14 in use at Tranomaro is operated by L'Office des Mines Nationales et des Industries Strategiques ("OMNIS"), a Malagasy State Agency. OMNIS is the Company's Joint Venture Partner on the Tranomaro Uranium Project, which is 80% owned by the Company. The program is managed by Dr. Reinhard Ramdohr, Senior Geologist and Mining Engineer, a Qualified Person within the meaning of N.I. 43-101. He is assisted by the experienced Team Manager Marcel Rasolofonirina and a highly skilled crew of fourteen Malagasy geologists, geophysicists and technicians. Gregory B. Sparks, P.Eng. a Qualified Person under N.I. 43-101 and Director of the Company providing overall project oversight.
Sample preparation, recording, quality control, handling and shipping are done by the Company's lab in Antananarivo. This work is supervised by Ardito Martohardjono, Vice-President of Laboratory Services and a Director of the Company. The chemical analytical work is performed by ALS Laboratory Group of Vancouver, B.C., utilizing their Uranium Package Code ME-MS61U, a 48 element near total digestion ICP procedure. Overlimits for the foregoing procedure are re-analyzed using ALS procedure U-XRF10.
According to Irwin Olian, CEO of the Company, "It is gratifying to see continued progress reflected in results from our initial core drilling program at Tranomaro. We are well on our way toward delineating a meaningful resource at old Mine 37 and look forward to drilling additional regional sites as well in the coming months. U prices have been in the range between $75 and $100 per lb/ U3O8 for over six months, and could be subject to further upward pressure in the near future. We note that the reported number of planned and proposed Nuclear Power Plants worldwide has increased by 94 during the year 2007, from 222 to 316, according to Swiss 'Finanz und Wirtschaft.' This is a dramatic increase that could spell further price gains for U going forward, notwithstanding general fears about a possible slowing of the world's economy. In line with our bullish assessment for the U industry, we are now accelerating exploration of two of our other U projects in Madagascar, Folakara and Antsirabe, as well as continuing with our major drilling and exploration program at Tranomaro."
