Name change from ISX Resources to Potash One, new symbol KCL (potassium chloride = potash).
Paul has a few months off after Uranium One took out EMU now he's working his magic on Potash One.
They have a competent investor relations firm, good news flow since his appointment and a new website.
3D seismic is underway on thier property and more news to come.
Still fundamentaly undervalued to ALM and upcoming potash IPOs.
EMC is the roadmap for Potash One.
I got short today at the close. Think the candlestick pattern today is a hanging man which is bearish. In addition, price trend is up while volume trend is down. This implies the EMU market is actually weak because short sellers are covering positions, causing a rally, and money is probably leaving the marketplace. Lastly, several negative divergences between EMU's momentum indicators and price. This usually resolves with price retracing. IMO, this would be a good place for longs to take a profit...
-e-,
I'm thinking it's ripe for a correction now to the prior high around 11.16. Mo seems to have turned the last three trading days...
Nice board...
Here's my view of EMU FWIW...

EMC desires to become the largest Uranium miner in the United States. Following a recent merger between three well placed and regarded Juniors in uranium mining and production it would appear that the new entity could find itself in a position to take a run at that ambitious goal.
From Corporate Releases the following statements are gleaned:
"Energy Metals Corporation is a Canadian listed company involved in developing resources to power the 21st century. The Company has adopted a corporate strategy to focus on the acquisition and development of uranium assets in politically favorable and mining-friendly jurisdictions within the United States to take advantage of the continuing growth in the U.S. and worldwide of demand for electrical energy. This increasing consumption is occurring at a time when uranium mine supplies are dwindling and inventories are being depleted.
"The Company is targeting advanced uranium prospective properties in Wyoming that are amenable to ISL (in-situ leaching). This form of uranium mining was pioneered in Wyoming. It utilizes water wells and oxygen-fortified groundwater to mine the uranium in place. Energy Metals Corporation is also actively advancing other conventional mining and ISL opportunities for uranium properties in the States of Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Arizona and South Dakota."

What is not fully comprehended by the investing public yet is that "EMC wants to produce quickly. There is no other reason for paying a premium for that (recent acquisition) experience as it holds little cache with the markets. As for 43-101 compliance I would think this would be a goal too. I expect this entity will be trying for an AMEX listing as quickly as they can meet listing requirements." (part remark taken from a post by trosh1 on the Uranium Exploration board of iHub)

Energy Metals Announces First Uranium Sales Agreement
May 01, 2007 1:06pm ET
Energy Metals Corporation (TSX:EMC)(NYSE Arca:EMU) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the supply of uranium concentrate with a leading US nuclear utility. The contract covers the sale of 1,400,000 pounds of U3O8 for delivery over a six-year period beginning in 2010. The terms include market related pricing along with floor price protection.
Energy Metals Hobson/Palangana uranium project is scheduled to start production in 2008. At the EMC's fully licensed Hobson Uranium Processing Facility site in Texas, CCC Group Inc. of San Antonio has been awarded the contract for construction of new and renovated facilities. Mobilization and site specific safety training for their crews will begin next week. All baseline water quality wells are now installed at La Palangana and water quality sampling of these wells is ongoing. Ore delineation and development work continues with 5 drilling rigs.
In Wyoming where Energy Metals is preparing its properties for production in 2009-2010, baseline environmental studies of the Moore Ranch Project in the Powder River Basin are advancing along schedule. The completion of all site characterization programs is anticipated in August, 2007. Similarly, baseline environmental studies at the Antelope Project in the Great Divide Basin continue with completion of these studies scheduled for January, 2008. Ore delineation is ongoing at the Peterson Project (PRB) with three drilling rigs.
"I am very pleased that Energy Metals has entered into the first agreement with a major US utility to supply uranium. This agreement is a strong evidence of industry acknowledgement of our production schedule and capabilities. It is a clear sign that Energy Metals is ready to enter the league of uranium producers. The terms of the agreement will also allow Energy Metals to benefit from upward uranium price. This significant endorsement has demonstrated that we are on the right track of creating strong and long-term domestic uranium production centres in the United States," noted Paul Matysek, President and Chief Executive Office of Energy Metals Corporation.

Energy Metals Acquires 16 New Mexico State Leases
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 6, 2005) - Energy Metals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EMC) ("Energy Metals") is pleased to announce that it has acquired, by competitive sealed bid, 16 New Mexico State Land Office Mining Leases for General Mining. These leases are primarily located within the Grants Uranium District of northwestern New Mexico, principally in McKinley County. None of the leases are on the Navajo Indian Reservation. All of the properties are considered to have potential to host uranium mineralization. The properties consist of 16 separate leases totaling 8792.76 acres. Several of the properties have seen past exploration indicating the potential for significant uranium mineralization.
The principal parcel of interest, Section 32, is a 640 acre tract that was identified as part of the Nose Rock Project uranium deposit, formerly held by Phillips Uranium Corporation, in an Internal Correspondence report from Union Carbide Corporation, dated December 17, 1982. This correspondence noted a presentation made by Phillips on November 11th of the same year where the Phillips' Nose Rock Project was reviewed. The Nose Rock Project encompassed parts of 7 Sections with historically identified uranium resources, including Section 32 which was reported to contain 8 million pounds of U3O8. The overall resource calculations were done by a number of methods and that Phillips Uranium Corporation was satisfied with the numbers calculated for the entire deposit. The data were computerized and statistical analysis had been completed. Drill holes were spaced at 125 to 150 foot intervals, with close spaced drilling on selected fences. The overall grade of the larger deposit was calculated to be 0.143% U3O8 fully diluted, based on a cutoff of 8 feet at 0.075% U3O8. The ore thickness of the deposit averaged 10 feet. The resource calculations were based on more than 550 drill holes of which at least 10% were core holes. The mineralization occurs as roll front deposits in the Westwater Canyon Member of the Morrison Formation and shows no apparent disequilibrium, with no reported vanadium and trace amounts of molybdenum. The anticipated mining method was underground, although the deposits in this area may be amenable to ISL production.
Other leases are located in the Crownpoint, Rio Puerco, and Ambrosia Lake areas. The Grants Uranium District is considered one of the premier uranium mining districts in the world. It is the largest uranium producer in the United States with documented past production exceeding 340 million pounds U3O8.
Readers are cautioned that while the historical resource estimate is considered relevant, Energy Metals Corporation has not done the necessary work to verify the classification of the resource, and the reader should not rely upon the historical resource estimates. The Company's management and consultants intend to carry out a mineral resource estimate to National Instrument 43-101 requirements in due course.
The Company is also pleased to announce it has completed the sale of 2,000,000 shares at a price of $3.10 per share for gross proceeds of $6,200,000. The Shares are subject to hold a period under Canadian securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, and may not be traded in Canada until April 2, 2006.

Three Way Merger Creates Latest Junior Uranium Winner
By Michael J. DesLauriers
17 Nov 2005 at 05:30 PM EST
TORONTO (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Recent consolidation in the junior uranium world has created a dynamic new player. As luck would have it, two of the three plays involved in the deal have been written up by Resource Investor over the last two months. RI wrote up Standard Uranium [TSXv:URN] on October 11th at C$1.20, the stock closed today at C$1.92. Quincy Energy [TSXv:QUI] was featured a few weeks earlier at a price of C$0.73, and closed today at C$0.65. The third company involved in the deal, Energy Metals [TSXv:EMC] will be the surviving vehicle once the whole transaction has closed. EMC closed at C$3.40 today; Sprott has a target price on the stock of C$6.65.
The Deal
Back in September, RI noted that Quincy was “a fairly compelling junior player which seems to be under appreciated by the market. The company has a 43-101 compliant resource of over 70 million pounds in the safety of the U.S., something not many other juniors can boast. Furthermore, the company is set to make production decisions on several of its properties well before most other players.” Indeed, it would appear that EMC recognized that value, saying in its new release that, “The Proposed Transaction is the next step in Energy Metals' strategy to become one of the largest U.S. domestic uranium producers and resource base holders in the public sector.”
With regards to URN, RI was of the opinion that, “few junior uranium players can boast the prospect of relatively near-term production, and the market is sure to show its appreciation in the form of a healthy premium for Standard.” A view clearly shared by EMC who offered an equivalent of C$2.00 per share when they made their bid a week ago.
Going Forward
Going forward EMC will be extremely well positioned to capitalize on high and rising uranium prices both as a producer and developer, with a large resource base in the safety of the United States. The company has made both acquisitions on fairly favourable terms, as signaled by its share price which has advanced nearly 10% since the announcement of the first acquisition; most stocks drop following an acquistion, not to mention a small financing. In addition to Standard’s near-term production and Quincy’s large 43-101 compliant resource base, EMC brings over 132,000 acres of land to the table and projects amenable to ISL technology for production.
EMC’s management did an excellent job timing wise with these acquisitions, and in making all-stock offers. For shareholders of Quincy, whose shares have been languishing due to an overhang and selling out of Europe, the acquistion price seems cheap. However, because Quincy will now be anchored to a good story with near term production that will lift all boats, shareholders should not feel overly wounded by the 60 cents per share takeover price.
Conclusion
Given the substantial valuation awarded to recently listed producer UrAsia Energy, there is every reason to believe that a larger EMC with critical mass should attract the right sort of institutional attention resulting in higher valuations and greater awareness in the market.
