News for 'TGIC' - (Triad Guaranty Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results)


WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Triad Guaranty
Inc. (OTCBB: TGIC) today reported a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2012
of $31.3 million compared to a net loss of $37.7 million for the f! irst quarter
of 2012 and a net loss of $4.4 million during the second quarter of 2011. The
2012 second quarter diluted loss per share was $2.05 compared to a diluted loss
per share of $2.47 for the 2012 first quarter and $0.29 for the second quarter
of 2011.

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $69.0 million compared
to a net loss of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The
diluted loss per share was $4.52 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared
to a diluted loss per share of $0.61 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Ken Jones, President and CEO, said, "During the second quarter, we continued to
see a drop in the number of new defaults as well as the total risk in default.
Primary risk in default declined by 8.2% during the second quarter of 2012
compared to a sequential decline of 7.4% in the first quarter of 2012 and 6.9%
in the second quarter of 2011. Net losses and loss adjustm! ent expenses for the
second quarter amounted to $68.2 million compa red to $67.9 million in the first
quarter of 2012, and up substantially from the $41.3 million reported in the
second quarter of 2011. Comparisons to the second quarter of 2011 is difficult
due to the positive impact of reserve adjustments during that period. Settled
claims were $108.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $97.1
million during the 2012 first quarter and $111.6 million in the second quarter
of 2011. Persistency, the key driver of our earned premiums, remained at
elevated levels compared to historical norms as many borrowers are finding it
difficult to sell or refinance their homes."

Mr. Jones continued, "As a company in run-off, our primary focus remains on the
efficient and effective servicing of our insured portfolio, particularly with
respect to loss management, in order to maximize our claims-paying ability. Our
deficit in assets remains substantial and was $771.4 million at June 30, 2012.
We believe ! that, absent significant positive changes in the economy and the
residential real estate market, our existing assets and future premiums likely
will not be sufficient to meet our current and future policyholder obligations."

We have updated the quarterly statistical and supplemental information for the
2012 second quarter results on our web site at www.triadguaranty.com. The
supplemental information can be found under "Investors" and then under "Webcasts
and Presentations" by the title "Supplemental Information - Second Quarter

News for 'LGBS' - (Legends Executes Agreement for Multi-Function Charger Controller Legends Business Group, Inc. Announced Exclusive Rights to Manufacture and Distribute Proprietary Multi-Function Charger Controller (MFCC))


MIAMI, Jul 31, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Legends Business Group(LGBS:PK) today announced it has completed an agreement under which Legends has
the exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute the Multi-Function Charge
Controller (MFCC).

Under the terms of the agreement, Legends Business Group will have the rights to
beta test, manufacture and distribute the MFCC in exchange for ten million
shares of restricted common stock and a small percentage of gross revenue per
unit. In addition to exercising its new rights, Legends has also agreed that it
will make its' best efforts to become a fully reporting Bulletin Board company
by the end of the fourth reporting quarter of 2012.

"Since discovering the existence of the MFCC, Legends has been working along
side of its creator to ensure this product became a reality," said Rudy Sablon,
LGBS's President and CEO. "I'm proud to finally announce this long awaited
unveiling."

"Described as a state-of-the-art multi-function charging controller, th! e MFCC is
powered by either an AC or Solar input and will automatic ally detect and charge
lead acid or sealed lead acid batteries. The device will automatically adjust
for the following voltages, 12, 24, 36, and 48VDC. This unit will also provide
real time charging information to a terminal session established on computer via
a standard onboard serial port. The MFCC utilizes complex charging algorithms in
association with bi-directional feedback to attain the optimal charging sequence
for each charging sessions. Unlike conventional chargers, which tend to use only
one method and one direction, the MFCC digitally and thermally continuously
adjusts throughout the charging cycle. The net result is more energy stored
along with higher resting voltage and longer battery life," said its creator,
whose name will be announced pending closure of ongoing endeavors with Legends.

lizzy - our 2012 list is looking preety sad...

morning lizzy,

that one shot up for a double!

News for 'RCKE' - (Rock Energy Resources Provides June Month-End Update For Gold Mining Operations In Colorado)


HOUSTON, July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Rock Energy Resources, Inc.
(OTCQB: RCKE) today provided its monthly update on mining and related matters to
the Company for the mon! th of June 2012.

Mining: 232 tons of ore were mined in June, of which 65 tons were shipped to our
demonstration mill. Approximately 260 additional tons of ore are stockpiled to
date in underground ore chutes. Stope development and ore production are
underway. Westward drift extension will begin in August.

Milling and Refining: 70 tons of ore were milled in June, 5 tons being taken
from previous stockpiles. Our larger demonstration mill facility has been on
line now for the past month with improvements being made daily for higher
recovery rates.

Refining options for gold sales and platinum group metals resulted in the
purchase of a concentrating table used to upgrade gravity concentrates. The
table was installed June 22 and has been used to upgrade concentrates while
waiting for additional equipment to be delivered in the coming weeks.

Sales and Inventory: Approximately 30 ounces of gold concentrates were produced
whi! ch are being processed on a table used specifically for upgrading grav ity
concentrates to a salable product. To date we have accumulated in excess of
1,000 lbs. of high grade concentrate. We will begin an aggressive refining and
sales process of these valuable concentrates when ordered equipment installation
is complete.

Coring and 43-101 Activity: In furtherance of our priority to produce SEC Guide
7 compliant resources and reserves, over the past month we have completed 5 core
holes. Hole depths have ranged from 416 to 485 feet. Based on considerable
encouragement from these first five holes, a sixth core hole has been taken
substantially deeper and is planned to extend to a depth of 3,500 feet. As of
this date that sixth core hole is at a depth of 2,130 feet and continues to
drill ahead based on highly encouraging results. Significant sulphide
mineralization has been encountered and has been shipped to a certified lab for
assays. Core logging, examination, splitting and assay work is underway. This!
early analysis leads us to believe that our estimates of potential reserves will
be substantiated with this work and with additional planned deeper drilling.
Geology and engineering reports will be forthcoming.

Ore grades are based on historical production records and have been averaged
throughout the mine. The Red Arrow Mine has a history of high grade ore pockets
in the vein structure. Eleven samples were taken at 10 ft. intervals along the
strike of the current work area in the Gold Run stope with the ore averaging
well over 1 ounce gold per ton. At least 1 ounce silver is also present. One of
the 11 control assays was 26.5 ounces gold per ton along with 7.47 ounces silver
per ton. Assays were performed by a highly reputable Colorado assay firm.
Duplicate samples are being prepared for shipment to a certified assay lab and
will include platinum group metal results.

Land Activities: As previously noted, we expanded our land ! activities based upon
aero-magnetic surveys and now hold approximat ely 2,500 acres of claims and fee
lands. We believe these holdings sufficiently cover our areas of interest at
both our existing mine portal levels as well as the potentially much larger
deeper horizons. At the time of acquisition in December of last year our land
position was 690 acres.

Purchase of Remaining 51% of Red Arrow Gold Corporation: Rock Energy Resources,
Inc. and Red Arrow Gold Corporation are continuing to work on finalizing the
purchase of the remaining 51% of the Red Arrow Corporation. Based on our current
agreement, Rock Energy has provided all capital for the Red Arrow project and
owns 100% of the revenues. All claims and equipment are currently in American
Patriot Gold until 100% of the Rock Energy investment is returned. At that time
the revenue split will revert to 51%-49%. We are diligently working with Red
Arrow on acquiring several notes from current note holders of Red Arrow Gold
Corporation, as part of the p! urchase

Guidance: We continue to project positive cash flows for our third quarter of
2012.

News for 'LGBS' - (Legends Seeks Rights to New Battery Charging Technology and Begins Process to Become Fully Reporting)


MIAMI, Jul 10, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Legends Business Group (Pink
Sheets:LGBS) announced today it is in negotiations to become the exclusive
manufacturer and de! aler for a new type of battery charging technology. As part
of these negotiations, Legends will become a fully-reporting company under the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Although quiet over
the last couple of months, the company has been very busy preparing its future
direction in the sustainable energy market.

"We here at Legends think the evolution of the battery charger can be a game
changer in the green energy marketplace," said Rudy Sablon, President and CEO of
Legends. In our opinion, current battery charging technology is inadequate,
inefficient, and one directional. These issues tend to lead to higher costs,
lower performance, and decreased longevity. With these restrictions we cannot
move from fossil fuels to clean energy economically and successfully. "The need
for new efficient energy storage technology is now, and Legends thinks it has
found it!"

The company is currently in the process of! obtaining the exclusive rights to a
new type of battery charger th at can help eliminate the restrictions of current
battery technology. Sablon predicts that Legends should be able to conclude
negotiations in the next couple of weeks adding, "After months of research and
testing we believe the company is on the verge of a major breakthrough in highly
efficient battery charging technology and can not wait to bring it to the

News for 'RCKE' - (Rock Energy Resources Provides April Month-End Update for Gold Mining Operations in Colorado)


HOUSTON, Jun 01, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rock Energy Resources, Inc.
(OTCQB:RCKE) today provided its monthly update on mining and related matters to
the Company.

Mining: Init! ial mining began on April 30 with an initial rate of 3 tons per day.
As of May 31, 2012 we were mining at a rate of 7 tons per day and continuing to
increase monthly.

Milling Operations: We are currently running approximately 7 tons per day of
high grade ore. The concentrates are then shipped for final processing.

Refining: At the end of May, we successfully tested our green refining process
that was implemented after a push back on the delivery of previously ordered
equipment. We are pleased with the results from the sample that was sold as .999
gold. We will continue to ship high grade concentrates for assays and
processing.

Core Analysis: Core analysis has begun on cores previously drilled. Core logging
from current core drilling has also begun.

Drilling: As of May 31, 2012, 485 feet of core has been produced. This is the
first of up to 6 holes in the fan drilling program previously announced.

43-101: Now that! the core drilling and analysis have begun, we are initiating
the 4 3-101 process. Management felt that this phase of the business plan should
begin once we had revenues. It was critical in our opinion to have revenues
first followed by a core drilling program.

Guidance: Our guidance for the second quarter financial results remains
unchanged.

contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (i) estimates of future

News for 'TGIC' - (Triad Guaranty Inc. Reports First Quarter Results)


WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., May 11, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Triad Guaranty
Inc. (OTCBB: TGIC) today reported a net loss for the quarter ended March 31,
2012 of $37.7 million compared to a net loss of $60.9 million for the fo! urth
quarter of 2011 and a net loss of $4.9 million during the first quarter of 2011.
The 2012 first quarter diluted loss per share was $2.47 compared to a diluted
loss per share of $3.99 for the 2011 fourth quarter and $0.32 for the first
quarter of 2011.

Ken Jones, President and CEO, said, "During the 2012 first quarter, we
experienced the anticipated positive seasonal impact of lower first notices of
defaults and increased cure rates normally attributed to income tax refunds and,
to a lesser extent, year-end bonuses. As a result, primary risk in default
declined by 7.4% sequentially compared to a sequential decline of 4.7% in the
fourth quarter of 2011. Net losses and loss adjustment expenses for the first
quarter were $67.9 million, down from the $107.4 million reported in the fourth
quarter of 2011 which reflected an increase in the frequency factors utilized in
our reserve calculation. Settled claims were $99.4 million during! the 2012 first
quarter compared to $118.3 million in the 2011 four th quarter and $111.9 million
in the first quarter of 2011. Persistency, the key driver of our earned
premiums, remained at elevated levels compared to historical norms as many
borrowers are finding it difficult to sell or refinance their homes."

Mr. Jones continued, "As a company in run-off, our primary focus remains on the
efficient and effective servicing of our insured portfolio, particularly with
respect to loss management, in order to maximize our claims-paying ability. Our
deficit in assets remains substantial and was $737.8 million at March 31, 2012.
We believe that, absent significant positive changes in the economy and the
residential real estate market, our existing assets and future premiums likely
will not be sufficient to meet our current and future policyholder obligations."

We have updated the quarterly statistical and supplemental information for the
2012 first quarter results on our web site at www.triadguaranty.c! om. The
supplemental information can be found under "Investors" and then under "Webcasts
and Presentations" by the title "Supplemental Information - First Quarter 2012".

News for 'PCFG' - (Pacific Gold Corp.-Pilot Mountain Resources Update)


TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 03, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Pacific Gold Corp.
(OTCQB: PCFG)(PINKSHEETS: PCFG), is pleased to provide a progress update for
Project W.

Pilot Metals holds a purchase option on Project W fr! om PCFG's subsidiary Pilot
Mountain Resources until September 2013. Pilot Metals plans for 2012 include a
drilling program, resource calculation, metallurgy study and a scoping study.

PCFG management believes that Project W results received by Pilot Metals, to
date, have been equal to or exceeding historical reports prepared regarding
Project W resources.

From Pilot Metals on March 19, 2012;

HIGHLIGHTS





-- "Drilling has recently been completed with the last two holes of the

program intersecting substantial, scheelite bearing skarn mineralisation

up to 150m to the east outside of the Union Carbide Feasibility Study

area. Assays for these holes are pending.

-- Significant tungsten skarn mineralisation has now been confirmed over

650m of strike and a vertical extent of 33! 0m with mineralisation

remaining open i n all directions.

-- Activities now moving to data compilation and the construction of a new

geological and resource model with the aim of delivering a maiden JORC

compliant resource calculation for Desert Scheelite by the end of June

2012.

-- Scoping Study planned to commence in the 3rd Quarter, 2012.

-- Based on the available historic Union Carbide data, Black Fire's initial

Exploration Target for Desert Scheelite is 4 - 5Mt @ 0.30 - 0.34%

WO3(i). The total Exploration Target across the three advanced prospects

(Desert Scheelite, Gunmetal & Garnet) is 7-9Mt @ 0.30 - 0.37% WO3(i)

with good potential for copper and silver credits. A total of 11 other

prospect areas are curren! tly known within the licence area providing

excellent exploration upside."



"The drilling program has recently been completed with 15 holes being drilled.
The aim of this program was to twin and infill selected historic vertical
diamond drill holes that were drilled predominantly on 33m x 33m centres (Figure
1) to provide confirmatory assay and geological information so that the
extensive historic database may be brought into a maiden JORC compliant resource
calculation for Desert Scheelite, scheduled for completion by the end of June
2012. Black Fire's drill program comprised both "twins" to historical vertical
holes and angled holes drilled to provide better geological control and confirm
true width intersections.

The Desert Scheelite resource drillin! g program has been completed on schedule.
Independent resource cons ultants, Golder & Associates, have been appointed to
undertake the resource calculation and their background database work has
commenced. A Golder's consultant geologist also completed a site visit to the
project during late February for standard auditing purposes."
