Hinterland Outlines 11.5km Uranium Anomaly at Hearne Project, Manitoba
Monday October 22, 9:27 am ET
Shares Issued 43,502,201
TORONTO, Oct. 22 /CNW/ - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSXV: HMI) is pleased to announce the results of a high sensitivity combined magnetometer and spectrometer airborne survey recently flown over the 12,916ha Hearne project located approximately 120km west of Churchill in Northern Manitoba. The survey has outlined an 11.5km chain of strong radiometric uranium responses trending from northwest to southeast. This trend varies from 0.9 to 1.7km wide and corresponds to a mature sequence of fuchsite-bearing quartzites and quartz pebble conglomerates that form a distinct lobe extending northwest towards a larger sedimentary basin. The larger basin is similar to a number of other Paleoproterozoic intracratonic basins that are found on the margins of the Churchill Province of the Canadian Shield.
Hinterland has so far only prospected the far north end of the uranium trend but has already obtained very encouraging values of up to 0.02% U(3)O(8). The best uranium values correspond to very strong chrome values that reach a maximum of 1.8%. Uranium does not correlate well with gold. The best gold values (up to a maximum of 7.5g/t) are coincident with a continuous string of magnetic highs that are found slightly east of and parallel to the uranium trend. It is well documented on Archean cratons elsewhere in the world that fuchsite-bearing quartzites and quartz pebble conglomerates similar to those found on the Hearne property are prospective for paleo-placer deposits of gold and/or uranium.
The analytical results stated above were determined at Activation Laboratories Ltd. ("Actlabs") in Ancaster, Ontario by Neutron Activation technique. Actlabs is an accredited laboratory independent of Hinterland. Uranium results reported by Actlabs in ppm U were converted by a conversion factor of 0.0001179 to % U(3)O(8). Mark Fekete, P.Geo is the designated "qualified person" as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the preparation of this release.
Investors are invited to visit the Hinterland IR Hub at www.agoracom.com/IR/Hinterland where they can post questions and receive answers or review questions and answers already posted by other investors. Alternatively, investors are able to e-mail all questions and correspondence to HMI(at)agoracom.com where they can also request to be added to the investor e-mail list in order to receive all future press releases and updates in real time.

Hinterland Discovers 7.5g/t Gold at Hearne Project, Manitoba
Thursday October 11, 9:29 am ET
Shares Issued 43,502,201
TORONTO, Oct. 11 /CNW/ - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSXV:HMI) is pleased to announce the results of its 2007 surface prospecting and sampling program on the Hearne project located approximately 120km west of Churchill in Northern Manitoba. The primary goal of the program was to examine visible outcrops on the property for uranium. The work instead uncovered a significant gold discovery as well as unusually rich chromite concentrations.
Anomalous gold values up to a maximum of 7.5g/t were obtained along a 4.5km segment of sulphide-bearing quartzite and quartz-pebble conglomerate outcrops marked by a distinctive green colour. Grab samples returned chrome values up to a maximum of 1.8% and more than 55% of the samples returned greater than 1000ppm Cr. Iron and chrome values show a strong correlation indicating the presence of detrital chromite. The green colour of the outcrops is most likely caused by fuchsite mica derived from the alteration of chromite grains.
It is well documented on Archean cratons elsewhere in the world that fuchsite-bearing quartzites and quartz pebble conglomerates are prospective for paleo-placer deposits of gold and/or uranium. Chromite is commonly found in the heavy mineral suite accompanying gold and/or uranium in alluvial placers. Placer deposits form as a result of the weathering and erosion of bedrock material followed by the concentration of that material at a distance from its source.
The results stated above were determined at Activation Laboratories Ltd. ("Actlabs") in Ancaster, Ontario by Neutron Activation technique. Actlabs is an accredited laboratory independent of Hinterland. Mark Fekete, P.Geo is the designated "qualified person" as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the preparation of this release.
Investors are invited to visit "Beyond the Press Release" on the Hinterland IR Hub at www.agoracom.com/IR/Hinterland where the results described in this press release will be discussed in greater detail by Mark Fekete, President and CEO. This interview will be recorded and available on Tuesday October 16.

Terra Nostra Announces Year End Results: Record Revenue of $284.8 Million
Friday October 5, 3:08 pm ET
LOS ANGELES and ZIBO, China, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Terra Nostra Resources Corporation (OTCBB: TNRO - News), a majority owner of two joint venture companies in the copper and stainless steel industries in China, is pleased to announce financial results and highlights for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007.
2007 Year End Highlights
* Record revenue of $284.8 million;
* Operating profits of $1.8 million as compared to an operating loss of
$13.5 million for fiscal 2006;
* Pre-selling production to meet strong market demand;
* Ramping up of stainless steel production facilities; and
* Inauguration of 150,000 metric ton ("MT") stainless steel rolling mill.
Consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007 was $284.8 million, compared to $5.1 million in the 2006 fiscal period. The increase in revenue was driven primarily through increased sales in the stainless steel joint venture, and completion of the acquisition of the copper joint venture. Gross profit for the fiscal year was $18.1 million, as compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the same period a year ago. Operating profits were $1.8 million, as compared to a loss of $13.5 million in fiscal year 2006. Cost of sales for the year was $266.7 million as compared to a cost of sales of $6.8 million in 2006.
Additionally, management anticipates significant further improvements in gross margins as:
* Larger volume contracted raw material purchases replace lower volume
non-contracted purchases;
* Continued increases in stainless steel and copper production allow
fixed labor and overhead costs to be more broadly distributed;
* Yield rates increase as a result of continued operating experience; and
* Lower maintenance and facility operating costs ensue from further
optimization of production processes.
"At present, strong market conditions for our products exist in China. Demand for stainless steel and copper remains high, driven by continued economic growth and development in China. This market situation has allowed Terra Nostra to pre-sell certain production at premium contracted prices," stated Mr. Sun Liu James Po, Terra Nostra's Chief Executive Officer. "We expect these strong market conditions to remain for the foreseeable future while the Company continues to ramp up production at current facilities to full capacity to meet market demands."
Terra Nostra operates two majority owned Sino Foreign Joint Venture companies in the stainless steel and copper industries in China.
STAINLESS STEEL JOINT VENTURE
Shandong Quanxin Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. ("SQSS") is a 51% owned subsidiary of Terra Nostra which operates a new integrated stainless steel plant in Zibo City, Shandong Province, PRC.

The downstream strip rolling mill was phased-in over the past fiscal year and has a production capability of 150,000 MT per annum. SQSS also has advanced plans to develop a 30,000 MT capacity welded tube line and a 60,000 MT capacity rod line, subject to further feasibility analysis.
COPPER JOINT VENTURE
Shandong Terra Nostra Jinpeng Metallurgical Co., Ltd. ("STJMC"), also a 51% owned subsidiary of Terra Nostra, is a producer, seller, and distributor of electrolytic copper, value-added copper products, and precious metals with production locations in Changshan town and Dongying city, Shandong Province, PRC, both located one hour from Zibo city.

CalbaTech Issues Update; Beginning Training for Adult Stem Cell Collections in Atlanta
Thursday October 4, 8:00 am ET
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/-- CalbaTech, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CLBE - News), an emerging life sciences company (http://www.CalbaTech.com) concentrating on the collection and banking of adult stem cells for possible future therapeutic uses and providing products and platforms to the biotech and pharmaceutical research markets and to academic institutions, today announced a corporate update.
LifeStem(TM), Inc., a CalbaTech wholly-owned subsidiary that has developed a unique process to harvest adult stem cells in micro quantities to be cryopreserved for future transplantation into the same client for medical purposes, will be in Atlanta, Georgia this week to train employees of a medspa that will begin selling the Stem Cell Microbank(TM) Service in its Atlanta location. Pre-marketing of the service in the "Atlanta Life" magazine has, according to the owner of the spa, resulted in significant interest by potential clients. LifeStem(TM) will be training the staff in both selling and harvesting techniques.
TherapyStem, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CalbaTech, signed an MOU with Australian-based Benitec Limited, in which TherapyStem will develop a business providing stem cell storage services for U.S. HIV patients who may use the blood-based stem cells in a possible therapy. Benitec has collaborated with City of Hope, Duarte, California, a biomedical research and treatment center, in the development of a possible HIV therapeutic. This investigational HIV therapeutic creates the possibility that re-engineered blood-based stem cells may be able to take the place of anti-retroviral medication. TherapyStem, Inc. has filed for patent protection for its process to harvest stem cells from HIV infected individuals to be cryopreserved for future transplantation.
MyStem, Inc., a developing wholly-owned subsidiary of CalbaTech, is working to build a platform in which it will sell LifeStem's Stem Cell Microbank(TM) Service into the United Kingdom. One of CalbaTech's founders is working in London developing the licensure and contacts necessary to bring this new subsidiary to market. CalbaTech has also contracted with a group experienced in foreign stock exchange listings to help in listing MyStem on PLUS, a division of the London Stock Exchange.
CalbaTech is in discussions with two medical doctors from Harvard that own a patent that could create another potential cell collection business that would add value to CalbaTech's other services. CalbaTech has submitted a proposal for an exclusive license to this technology. No further information is being provided at this time due to the sensitive nature of the discussions, but CalbaTech will update its shareholders when appropriate.
KD Medical, Inc., http://www.kdmedical.com and Molecula, Inc., http://www.molecula.com, two other wholly-owned subsidiaries of CalbaTech, have overcome the hurdles related to moving their offices last year and have been able to focus on finding new customers for their products.
Both CalbaTech and LifeStem have new offices. CalbaTech is now located at 23341 Del Lago Drive, Laguna Hills, CA, and LifeStem is now in Anaheim, CA. The phone numbers for both companies remain the same, (949) 450-9910 for CalbaTech and (949) 450-9938 for LifeStem. LifeStem's website remains http://www.life-stem.com.
Lastly, CalbaTech is working on creating a new and updated website. It will retain the same address: http://www.calbatech.com. The Company expects to have this website available to shareholders and potential investors in the very near future.

MARKET MAKER SIGNALS
Penny traders believe that Market Makers (MM) will "signal" moves in advance buy using small amounts of buys or sells as "signals". The "signals" are such a small amount of shares (worth no more than 5 or 10 dollars) that no trader would have paid a commission that costs more than the amount of shares bought. The "signals" are from one MM to another.
100 I need shares.
200 I need shares badly,but do not take the stock down.
300 Take the price down so I can load shares
400 Keep trading it sideways.
500 Gap the stock. This gap can be either up or down, depending on the direction of the 500 signal.
Remeber this is a theory put forth by a lot of penny stock traders. This is not a guaranteed trading method so please use common sense and purchase stocks only after researching your investment thoroughly.

Spooz Completes SWARM Beta Testing and Reports Results
Thursday July 19, 12:05 pm ET
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spooz, Inc. (OTC: SPZI - News) is excited to announce the end of successful beta testing for SWARM and announce live trading results from Spooz Trading Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spooz, Inc.
Under development since January 2007, SWARM is a high-frequency, light-touch trading model developed by Spooz employees Jame' Groves, Erik Long and Dr. Peng He. Executed on Spooz's signature SpoozToolz(TM) software, SWARM is a combination of proprietary arbitrage models that exploit local and spatial price discovery. Its unique weighted components allow for "dynamic" co-integration balancing between multiple correlated markets. Because its success is based on the automation of quantitative strategies, SWARM's trading performance is not dependent on any specific market direction, but rather on precise micro-second calculations to identify opportunities as they arise.
"The live trading test resulted in surprisingly good numbers. Although it represented a small number of actual trades, when considered together with simulated trades conducted in June, we believe the results to be statistically significant enough to enter into the production phase," stated Jame' Groves, Director of Financial Engineering for Spooz. "It is time to build a proprietary trading division capable of becoming an important profit center for the company."
All trading occurred in a third party account. The beta test period began July 2, 2007 and continued through July 18, 2007. For the beta period, only two spreads in the energy complex were traded. The following unaudited results were generated from account statements:
Trading Days: 12
Number of Trades: 244
Average Trades per Day: 20.3
Number of Winners: 234
Number of Losers: 5
Number of Scratches(a): 5
Winning Percentage: 95.9 %
Losing Percentage: 2.05 %
Scratch Percentage: 2.05%
Average Winning Trade: (b) $30
Average Losing Trade: (b) $16
(a) A scratch is a trade initiated and offset at the same price.
Transaction fees apply.
(b) Based upon one contract; excluding commissions and fees.
"While Spooz does not offer direct public participation in proprietary SWARM trading, it is our goal to teach traders how to utilize SpoozToolz to create sophisticated models based upon modern trading methodologies," said Paul Strickland, the Spooz CEO. "We believe that SpoozToolz will change the way smaller traders approach the market as they come armed with technology unavailable to them from any other source."
ABOUT SPOOZ

Its flagship product, SpoozToolz(TM) and its modules, add built-in trading capabilities to the popular Microsoft® Excel software application, combining a customizable interface, streaming quotes, charts, technical analysis, a comprehensive historical database, and electronic trade execution into a simple add-in that becomes part of the Excel tool bar.

Palm v. Hop-on, Palm Loses Legal Trademark Infringement; "Graffiti Wireless" Awarded to Hop-on by U.S. District Court
Wednesday July 18, 11:55 am ET
IRVINE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 18, 2007 -- HOP-ON, INC. (Other OTC:HPNN.PK - News) announced today the Company prevailed on the motion against Palmsource, Inc in the long awaited decision for infringement on the "Graffiti Wireless" trademark in the Central District Court of California. Today, Hop-on has been legally permitted to continue the use of their "Graffiti Wireless" trademark, following the U.S District Court, Central District of California decision that Palm Source, aka Access Systems America, Inc., has in fact appeared to have violated both state and federal law. The failure to comply with the rules required by the jurisdiction has shown a direct violation by a major corporation against the small Irvine Company, which has finally been vindicated by the courts as being victimized by simple violation of basic court processes. Palm Source, aka Access America, Inc., was not available for comment in response to the decision that enables the Irvine-based company to begin calculating their losses caused by the defectively filed lawsuit.
Christopher Clark, Trial Attorney from Fingal, Fahrney & Clark, is known by the industry to challenge large corporations that believe they can prevail on market share alone. "The requirements for service of any federal lawsuit were not appropriately met by the plaintiff and I am satisfied that the injunction has been lifted so my client can proceed in this matter. The basic fact is now Hop-on can complete all, outstanding contracts with the trademark, which was previously ordered by the court as illegal."
Peter Michaels, President of Hop-on, stated, "I anticipated the court's ruling and I am unable to disclose our future litigation plans at this time, but am grateful that the court's decision has opened this path for our company and our loyal shareholders."
Terra Nostra Resources Joint Venture Operations Achieve Substantial Fourth Quarter Revenue Growth
Thursday July 12, 9:11 am ET
LOS ANGELES, July 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Terra Nostra Resources Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: TNRO - News), majority owner of two China joint venture companies in the strategic copper and stainless steel industries, announced today that preliminary revenue figures for the fourth quarter joint venture operations are significantly increased over the prior quarter.
For the three months ending May 31, 2007, the Shandong Quanxin Stainless Steel joint venture operations generated revenues of $88.8 million, with a total 28.3 metric tons (MT) of billets and hot roll coil sold. This substantial increase over prior quarter revenues of $1.6 million is attributed to the successful ramp-up of production at the casting mill.

This represents a 12.3% increase over the third quarter copper operations revenues of $39.6 million.
For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2007, the Copper and Stainless Steel joint venture operations generated combined preliminary revenues of over $280 million, compared to prior year joint venture revenues of $106.7 million.
Terra Nostra expects to release fully consolidated results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year (audited) ending May 31, 2007 representing its joint venture ownership interests within the next 45 days.
Mr. Sun Liu James Po, CEO of Terra Nostra, comments, "The ramp-up of stainless steel operations in the fourth quarter were accelerated due to strong customer demand, and our congratulations go out to the management and operational teams in Zibo, China for bringing the mill to over 70% operating levels through April and May, ahead of schedule."
