HUI Gold Mining Stocks: Major Uptrend In Progress -
The major trend move underway in the Gold Bugs Index -
Although they're more volatile than Gold, if you can position
yourself on the 'right' side of their dominant trend,
investments in fundamentally sound Gold mining shares can be
even more profitable than investing in physical Gold.
Here's a look at the major trend move underway in the Gold
Bugs index, one of the most widely regarded indexes that
scores of precious metals equity traders and investors
rely on.
My, how times do change. Less than a year ago, the share
prices of virtually every senior and junior Gold mining
company were on the proverbial 'ash heap,' and some market
analysts had doubts that the bull run in the precious metals
sector would ever regain a solid footing, much less soar
to new highs.
And yet, that's just what happened - a complete recovery
across the entire sector (including Silver and Silver mining
companies, too), with Gold now at all-time highs and Silver
up more than 100% in less than 12 months.
Even better for those who trade Gold mining stocks,
the Gold Bugs index (which tracks the performance of some
of the biggest and most fundamentally sound Gold miners)
is up a mind-jarring 200% since October 2008 -
and the uptrend doesn't appear to be waning yet.
Let's have a closer look at the weekly technical chart of
the Gold Bugs index and examine the key trend indicators
as see what they may be telling us about the future
trajectory of prices for this volatile and potentially
profitable sector of the market.
Graphic credit: Metastock v.11
Let's start at the top of the chart to focus on recent
developments first;
note the huge, wide-range weekly candle that just printed,
one that took out the prior weekly swing high of 448.31.
As you probably know, the very definition of an 'uptrend'
is that a stock, commodity or index must have a series of
higher highs and higher lows, and that's exactly what we
see on this weekly chart of the Gold Bugs index.
Now, look just below the recent weekly candle and witness
the ever-increasing spread between the 20-week (red line)
and the 50-week (blue line) exponential moving averages
(EMA's).
Note how they are both sloping upward and that the spread
between them is also increasing at a steady rate;
this is a sign of increasing upward momentum in the index.
Moving toward the lower area of the chart, notice that the
Aroon (14) trend intensity index is solidly biased toward
the bullish side of its range (when the blue line is above
the red line and both lines are at opposing extremes, a
powerful uptrend is in motion) even as the Relative Strength
index (RSI)(14) is also in a powerful uptrend.
It's also interesting to note that RSI readings above 60
are usually indicative of a powerful trend move, and with
a current reading of 66.94, we can therefore conclude that
this latest rally in the Gold Bugs index is no fluke.
An interesting side note: Gold (cash basis) is up about 48%
since making a major low late last year (at about $713), but
did you notice that Gold stocks (as represented by the Gold
Bugs index) posted gains of about four times as much during
the same time period?
Does this mean that the shares of Gold mining companies are on
a non-stop ride toward ever-increasing gains?
Not necessarily; in fact, there are strong overhead
resistance areas near 479 and then 520 that will likely act
as (temporary?) consolidation and/or reversal point for
the index.
However, with the monthly chart of the Gold Bugs index
(not shown) also displaying powerful trend characteristics,
there can be little doubt that either of those key resistance
areas will eventually be challenged.
A solid break above 520.00 puts the Gold Bugs index into an
extremely bullish posture, and that's a price level that all
Gold equity traders will be monitoring in the weeks and
months to come.
If the price of Gold also continues to rise (it also
featuring many of the same bullish trend characteristics of
the Gold Bugs index), that will also be extremely favorable
toward those trading the shares of the biggest and most
fundamentally attractive Gold mining companies.
This may be the most exciting time to be a Gold/Gold stock
trader since at least 1979-1980, and if current trends keep
strengthening, we may be on the threshold of an era in the
precious metals markets that will be talked about for
generations to come.
Stay tuned - it's sure to be a fascinating and potentially
profitable time to be involved with the precious metals
markets!

for their shares, but we firmly believe that the best lies
ahead through equity participation in a combined company
with a strong growth mandate," he added.

ABOUT ONTEX
Ontex is a junior resource company focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its Brookbank gold property in northern Ontario spanning a strike length of 35 kilometers. To date, diamond drilling has identified a structure over a 7 kilometres strike length with mineralized zones extending from surface to a depth of at least 800 metres. The mineral resources at a 2.0 g/t gold cut-off grade stands at 1.84 million tonnes grading 7.3 g/t gold containing 421,400 ounces of Indicated and 2.66 million tonnes grading 4.9 g/t gold containing 421,400 ounces of Inferred resource (see National Instrument 43-101 technical report - "Technical Report on the Brookbank Gold Deposit, Beardmore - Geraldton Area, Northern Ontario, Canada" by Scott Wilson RPA Inc. dated May 4, 2009 - filed on SEDAR).
ABOUT ROXMARK
Roxmark is a gold and molybdenum exploration and development company operating in the Geraldton-Beardmore area. In the Beardmore camp, Roxmark is pursuing a number of initiatives including re-opening the Northern Empire Mine and its onsite mill and expanding the resource base at the nearby Leitch-Sand River Mine, once one of Canada's richest and now 100% owned by the Company. Operated from 1937 to 1965 the Leitch Mine processed 906,395 tons of ore with a recovery of 0.92 tons of gold per ton, yielding 860,648 oz. gold at $35 per ton. Like the nine other previously producing mines on Roxmark lands, the Leitch Mine was open at depth.
A 2008 National Instrument 43-101-compliant report on The Northern Empire Mine identified 86,652 tonnes of ore grading 10.70g.Au/t, containing 29,807 ounces of indicated gold resources; and 64,748 tonnes grading 9.95g.Au/t, containing 20,719 ounces of inferred gold resources, at shallow depths over a limited drilled strike length of the Contact and Power Zones. In addition, Roxmark is an active participant (with a 30% carried interest) in The Hardrock Project, a joint venture with Premier Gold Limited to develop a number of Geraldton Camp properties. In 2009, as operator, Premier is spending an estimated $8 million dollars to carry out a three-drill, 50,000-metre program to delineate resources on Project lands directed at establishing thresholds for early commercial development by both open-pit and underground mining. In addition, Premier has recently secured funding that will assure a robust drilling program for The Hardrock Project in 2010.
In recent years, Roxmark has generated cash flow from bulk-sampled gold and molybdenum processed at its fully-permitted, upgraded Northern Empire mill near Beardmore and has the advantage of infrastructure from the formerly productive gold mines located on its properties which generated 4 million ounces of gold before being shut down due to a $35 gold price and boundary issues since resolved through consolidation.

Ontex: NI 43-101 Resource Report Received and Exploration Update
posted on May 15, 09 09:54AM
LONDON, ONTARIO-(May 15, 2009) - Ontex Resources Limited (TSX:ONT) is very pleased to announce that it has received the full updated independent Technical NI 43-101 Report on the mineral resources estimate on the Brookbank Gold Deposit and property from Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc ("Scott Wilson RPA"). The full report has been filed on SEDAR or can be accessed from the Home page of the Ontex web site at http://www.ontexresources.com/. The mineral resource estimates with tables at 2.0 gram per tonne and 3.4 gram per tonne cut-off grade were previously press released March 30, 2009 and the 2.0 gram per tonne cut-off grade summary of resources are reproduced below.
Six holes, including one wedge hole, have been completed on the 2009 planned $2.3 million, 15,000 meter diamond drill program which began in late March. The initial drilling is targeting the Brookbank Gold Deposit to expand the known resource on the west flank (3 holes) of the deposit, on the east flank (1 hole) and at depth below 1000 meters (1 hole + wedge hole). All 6 holes intersected the Brookbank target structure and the samples have been split and submitted to the laboratory for assaying. The drill program has been stopped to provide for a 10 day break for the Bradley Bros. drill crew and Ontex geological personnel and will resume by the 4(th) week of May.
Ken Reading, a very well regarded explorationist, has headed to the property to initially oversea the linecutting and soil geochemistry program being undertaken to the east of the Brookbank Deposit to delineate a new drill target originally prospected in the 1980's and more recently highlighted on the airborne geophysics. Mr. Reading's primary objective in 2009 will be to understand and help locate additional local structures on the property which host gold mineralization.
The Company is planning to substantially ramp-up exploration by mobilizing a second diamond drill and has recently added two experienced geologists to its field crew. This represents the most aggressive program to date for the Company as it continues to expand resources and drill the Brookbank Gold Camp.
John P. Thompson, P.Eng. and President of Ontex, a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101 has reviewed the data and contents of this news release. Armen Chilian, P.Geo., Vice-President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person who planned and is executing the exploration programs for Ontex.
Ontex Resources Limited is a junior resource company focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its Brookbank gold property in northern Ontario spanning a strike length of 35 kilometers. To date, diamond drilling has identified a structure over a 7 kilometers strike length with mineralized zones extending from surface to a depth of at least 800 meters. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "ONT".

Six holes, including one wedge hole, have been completed on the 2009 planned $2.3 million, 15,000 meter diamond drill program which began in late March. The initial drilling is targeting the Brookbank Gold Deposit to expand the known resource on the west flank (3 holes) of the deposit, on the east flank (1 hole) and at depth below 1000 meters (1 hole + wedge hole). All 6 holes intersected the Brookbank target structure and the samples have been split and submitted to the laboratory for assaying. The drill program has been stopped to provide for a 10 day break for the Bradley Bros. drill crew and Ontex geological personnel and will resume by the 4th week of May.
Ken Reading, a very well regarded explorationist, has headed to the property to initially oversea the linecutting and soil geochemistry program being undertaken to the east of the Brookbank Deposit to delineate a new drill target originally prospected in the 1980’s and more recently highlighted on the airborne geophysics. Mr. Reading’s primary objective in 2009 will be to understand and help locate additional local structures on the property which host gold mineralization.
The Company is planning to substantially ramp-up exploration by mobilizing a second diamond drill and has recently added two experienced geologists to its field crew. This represents the most aggressive program to date for the Company as it continues to expand resources and drill the Brookbank Gold Camp.
John P. Thompson, P.Eng. and President of Ontex, a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101 has reviewed the data and contents of this news release. Armen Chilian, P.Geo., Vice-President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person who planned and is executing the exploration programs for Ontex.
Ontex Resources Limited is a junior resource company focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its Brookbank gold property in northern Ontario spanning a strike length of 35 kilometers. To date, diamond drilling has identified a structure over a 7 kilometers strike length with mineralized zones extending from surface to a depth of at least 800 meters. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “ONT”.

Greetings,
What impact on share price did the NI have when it was released on May 4, 2009? Also, what is the total resource value that was listed in the NI of the properties that were analyzed?
Does Ontex own more properties than were listed in the NI?
Thanks.
