No tops!!!
I wish.
They are out. Hit 17 here today.
Well it is pure bull.
The canadian dollar is backed by the Us dollar
Where did you hear that from?
Don't know if I can handle this.
We don't expect any precipitation from Monday evening to Tuesday evening
I wasn't sure. Thanks.
yeah, i don't think a lop would help in any way. all it would do is allow iraqis to carry less cash around, but they have 50k notes, so carrying large amounts of cash isn't a burden even now with the dinar so low in value. And if it does lop, iraqis are still right where they are now. nothing changes. they're still very poor for the most part. The best course of action in my opinion, is to leave it the way it is and allow it to increase slowly as it has been doing, or revalue it higher so ordinary iraqis can lead more fulfilling lives.
Where did you find a 50K note?
What is happening here now?
Big News Out Today!
Thank you for your interest in Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: MENV) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: NDDA) ("Micron" or the "Company") at a time that appears to be potentially Micron's most explosive period of growth. The Company is currently focused on one of the single largest oil and gas producing regions in the world; the massive OIL SANDS OF ALBERTA. Micron is one of, if not the smallest, market capitalized company with multiple leases (eight) and it now has operations underway in this world-class oil and gas producing region. This is quite an enviable position for a company of Micron's modest market capitalization, and therefore Micron offers tremendous leverage to one of the world's largest oil resources with the shares currently trading under $0.10. As you can see by the recent activities within the Company, Micron appears to be moving steadfastly towards its goal of becoming a presence in the Alberta oil Sands and ultimately becoming a mid-range oil and gas producer. Micron has increased its net Oil Sands acreage significantly in 2007 and management is optimistic regarding additional acquisitions in the future.
Acquires 100% of Four New Contiguous Alberta Oil Sands Section near Shell
March 23, 2007
Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: MENV) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: NDDA --- WKN:A0J3PY---ISIN: US59510E2072) ("Micron" or the "Company") is extremely pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in 1,024 contiguous hectares (2,530 acres) of prime Athabasca Oil Sands land, which is the largest oil producing region in the world. This new significant acquisition is in very close proximity to existing leases held by Micron, and also close to where Royal Dutch Shell recently acquired leases for $450,000,000. This new lease was purchased at the recent land sales and paid for out of money that was in the bank. This new acquisition constitutes an additional approximate 50% increase in Micron's net Alberta Oil Sands acreage now under lease which had already increased by approximately 4,500% in 2007.
Bernard McDougall, Micron's president stated, "This is a significant acquisition for Micron. To pick up 100% interest in this Oil Sands parcel displays managements continuing commitment to acquiring quality land in one of the largest know fields in the world. Our goal it to continue to acquire land in the Alberta Oil Sands as we feel the stock prices for all oil sands companies have not reflected the reality of the real investment dollars coming to the Alberta Oil Sands by the largest oil companies. We feel that since the biggest companies such as Exxon, Shell and Total are making massive investments into the Alberta Oil Sands, then that is where we want to be as well. Management is confident that when the market for the Oil Sands stocks comes back into focus, Micron will be one of the first to garner market share being one of the most leveraged and most active in acquisitions. Our current and potential shareholders need to understand that our perspective to grow the Company is a short as well as a long term one, but if we execute on our plan like we anticipate we will, Micron may present one of the best potential situations in the Alberta Oil Sands. As Micron continues to acquire land and develop current oil sands projects, management cannot see how that could be taken as anything but positive to Micron's future shareholder value."
Micron is an emerging oil and gas company that now has exposure to eight separate leases consisting of interests in 24.5 gross sections (15,500 acres) in the Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada, which is one of the largest oil producing regions in the world. Micron also has minor production from multiple conventional oil and gas wells throughout North America. Micron's goal is to become a junior oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace. Micron continues to look for additional projects that would contribute to building Micron's market capitalization, including additional Oil Sands projects. At this time, Micron is one of, if not the smallest, market capitalized company with multiple leases (eight) and now has positive operations underway in this world-class oil and gas producing region. This is quite an enviable position for a company of Micron's modest market capitalization, and therefore Micron offers tremendous leverage to one of the world's largest oil resources.

Weekly Update March 25, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New research this week on Motapa (diamonds and uranium) but first a quick update on Orko Silver (OK.V $0.84) which we featured here Feb 5th at $0.57. With Friday's close the stock is now up 47% but we'll continue to follow the company into April and see what develops. They are attracting strong buying from Europe right now and should be reporting new silver assays soon as 2 drill rigs have been running steady this past month. Silver resource to date is close to 40 million ounces but we'll wait to see what the drill turns up in April before deciding on coverage through Q2.
Motapa (MTP.V $0.56)
www.motapadiamonds.com
We've only covered one other diamond stock this past year (HUD.V $1.20) and it was first presented to free subscribers April 2006 near $0.70. It took longer than expected but last month traded to $2.30 and pushed the 10 month gain to 230% before we dropped coverage. Our next entry into this sector is Motapa, not only for its strong exposure to diamonds, but diversification of risk through uranium and their joint venture with Cameco in Africa. A rare combination and one that could pay off in spades if any of their projects hit over the next year.
Hambro Bullish on Diamonds
Evy Hambro of London is one of the world's smartest resource investors. He manages one of the largest mining funds in the world and his insight is invaluable. Back in August he had the following to say about diamonds and its one of the reasons we want a strong diamond exploration company in our portfolio.
"For the first time in 25 years, diamond production is declining and that may make the world’s most coveted stones a better investment than copper, nickel and zinc, this year’s top- performing commodities. Diamonds have "the best fundamentals," said Evy Hambro, who manages the $6.6 billion World Mining Fund in London for Merrill Lynch. "The gap between supply and demand is much bigger relative to other commodities."
Motapa's Little Known JV Partners - DeBeers & Cameco
The makings of a great exploration play need world class management (or the technical team of geologists), large land positions, and historically proven properties or joint ventures with major mining companies that see strong potential. Motapa not only has this, but the added (abnormal) benefit of high impact diamond exploration with uranium. The uranium property helps spread the risk at a time when uranium prices could test $100/lb this year - currently at $90 which many thought we would never see.
The uranium side to Motapa is something few (besides existing shareholders) realize exists. For the past 6 months uranium stocks have done exceptionally well and likely will continue to outperform for the remainder of 2007. Motapa's diamond properties provide us with high impact potential but the uranium is an intriguing bonus partnered with the world's largest uranium miner - Cameco. The large property position in Africa was secured years ago (well before uranium was in vogue) and the joint venture with Cameco was announced a year ago - well before the sector took off and few ever noticed it.
I met with these fellows in Toronto recently and it was evident they have several high impact projects in the pipeline over the next year. This is exploration so every single one could be a bust. But you need to spread risk and Motapa is excellent for this. A hit on even one (let alone a couple) would push the market cap dramatically higher.
Overview & Property Pipeline
Motapa is among the leading diamond explorers in Africa and has 100% interests in approx. 10 million hectares (over 20 million acres) of diamond prospective properties located in Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Gabon and Mozambique. In Gabon, they own uranium, manganese and gold exploration rights in the central portion of their land holdings. Properties are joint ventured with DeBeers, Government of Namibia, and Cameco. These joint ventures are all very active in 2007 and we will see drilling on various fronts. The majors carry the exploration costs and leave significant ownership rights should something be hit.
Key Senior Management and Directors
John Gurney (Chairman) is widely recognized as being the single most influential person on how diamond exploration has evolved in the past 20 years through his research at the University of Cape Town.
Larry Ott (CEO) is a PhD geologist who ran the feasability on Ekati (Canada's first diamond mine) for BHP between 1993 and 1998.
Jim Rothwell (Director) is the former President of BHP Diamonds, former Chairman of Dia Met (became Ekati), and current chairman of Shore Gold (likely Canada's next commercial diamond mine)
Bob Bishop (Director) publishes a widely followed resource advisory in the U.S. called the Gold Mining Stock Report (annual cost is $1000). He was one of the first to spot Dia Met (went from $0.40 to over $40) and Diamond Fields in Voisey Bay which was bought out by Inco and performed equally well.
Property Pipeline
Africa is the world's most prolific diamond producing continent with large areas under-explored. John Gurney's industry connections will likely lead to continued property acquisitions and joint ventures.
1) Mothae in Lesotho is an 8.8 hectare proven diamondiferous kimberlite that has never been properly tested. A few kilometres away is Gem Diamond's Letseng diamond mine where they are recovering some of the most valuable diamonds in the world (averaging $1500 per carat with gem quality diamonds 2 carats to 200 carats). All Motapa's work to date says that geologically, Mothae "should" be very similar to Letseng and their plan is to bring in a processing plant and take a 50,000 to 100,000 tonne bulk sample. Over the next month they are raising a few million dollars to finance this. If bulk sampling hits and proves the economics of this project, it becomes highly valuable. The company worked for a long time on securing this project and was finally successful last year and this will be the first time the property has been commercially tested. They know it hosts diamonds but recoveries have been sporadic. Bulk testing will attempt to prove up their theory. This would likely start in Q4/07 and take several months with the plant on site.
Gem Diamonds (www.gemdiamonds.com) owns Letseng and four development projects in Africa. The company was formed in July 2005 and started trading on London last month. The market cap is over a billion dollars after raising several hundred million dollars recently. If Motapa proves similar geology to Letseng next door, it will do exceptionally well given the fact Motapa's market cap is less than $20 million Cdn. Its an elephant style play and their other exploration properties are similar to Gem's if you remove Letseng from the equation.
Info on Letseng (6.5km SE of Mothae) - www.gemdiamonds.com/lesotho.asp
2) In Gabon, Motapa has rights to 3.3 million hectares of diamond exploration. Strong indicator minerals and aeromag surveys have helped them identify numerous high quality targets. Cameco jumped on the opportunity last spring to fund and explore their rights to uranium over a large section of land in the Northwest.
This basin of Gabon is geologically similar to the Athabasca basin of Saskatchewan. Deposits in the neighboring Oklo-Mounana district have produced in the order of 100 million pounds of uranium ranking it one of the world's most significant uranium districts. Production by a Cogema-controlled consortium began in 1960 and continued until 1999. Motapa and Cameco feel that the extensive land position is underexplored and offers excellent potential for significant uranium discoveries. An exploration program, which is anticipated to commence this spring and summer is being finalized.
If a junior just announced a huge land package in Africa and a subsequent joint venture with Cameco, the stock would do dramatically well. Right now, few even know this exists. Even with full dilution by Cameco on a discovery, Motapa would be left holding 20% of a major African uranium property. Its the blue sky scenario we also gamble on with the diamonds.
3) Kavango Project in Namibia is something junior diamond miners dream about but is also dramatically under the radar. Motapa has a 100% interest in 1.6 million hectares and has joint ventured under excellent terms with Namdeb Diamond Corp - a partnership between the Namibian government and DeBeers. Namdeb is financing all exploration and drilling (which should start this spring) and most important, DeBeers should be using their proprietary Zeppelin Airship - it uses the most advanced geoscience equipment in the world to discover diamonds.
4) In addition, the company has exploration underway on several other projects that host excellent potential. These include 500,000 hectares in Mozambique, 2.4 million hectares in Zambia, and 900,000 hectares in Botswana.
Given the share price and market capitalization, this is an excellent way to play the diamond sector given the risk/reward scenario. Diamond plays are high risk but very high impact. With so many irons in the fire to spread the risk and the uranium play for a bonus, this makes a great mid to long term resource speculation.

.He added, the Sudanese press statements today, Sunday, in Riyadh that Iraq has taken a series of significant economic measures concerned the adoption of a free economy and openness, controlled and applied by the State as well as the issuance of the most important strategic decisions Investment Law, which was approved by the Parliament and took effect today. مضيفاً.Iraq, adding that the projects to ensure the Arab brothers to denounce the terrorist operations that target Iraqi economy and claim support for Arab support to confront this terrorism, which seeks to destroy the infrastructure of the Iraqi economy, was welcomed by the brothers of this proposal, which would be one of the projects issued by the summit of Arab leaders and the leaders of the Saudi capital.
وأشار .He pointed out that the Sudanese Riyadh Economic Conference was an opportunity to exchange views with the Ministers of Arabs and clarify the policy in Iraq, economic openness and flexibility to increase the volume of trade with all Arab countries, and to achieve Arab integration, pointing out that paragraphs and recommendations discussed by the Board was concerned with the task of developing the economy Arab and the removal of obstacles relating to the establishment of the Arab free market to support projects related to tourism, transport and the electricity grid and the general structure of the monetary union of the Arab Customs and proactive mechanisms and programs for the application of this structure.

Foreign Investment in Iraq: Now you see it now you don’t, March 25 2007
,
Efforts to inject life into the small Iraqi bourse, the Iraq Stock Exchange, ISX, seem to have stalled again. According to informed sources, recently announced plans to open the exchange to foreigners will not take place in the near future despite the enacted foreign investment law. The small manually operated stock exchange which was opened June 2004 has been trying since to allow foreign investors to bye and sell sock of some 80 listed small companies in the exchange.
Despite recent proclamations by the chief executive officer of the exchange to the effect that procedures have been agreed upon to regulate the process, our sources say that many unresolved difficulties are more then likely to delay the much awaited opening up plan for quite some time.
Informed opinion say that the circulated procedures are crafted in such a way to make foreign investment in the ISX highly difficult and if adopted these procedures will repel foreign investors rather then encourage them. Venturing into the ISX is already a very risky proposition because the infant capital market of Iraq is highly unstable due to the ongoing war and the uncertainty of the future of the whole country itself. Non Iraqi investors are to provide a long list of documentary evidence of their status before they can enter the market, according to the circulated procedures. The procedures, according to one broker, are cumbersome, expensive and time consuming.
Moreover there are other more serious caveats. Careful reading of the Investment Law which was passed by parliament late 2006 shows that most articles of the law speak about regulation of direct foreign investment, that is investment in factories, agriculture etc. Such investments will be fully protected by the state of Iraq against nationalization and will be afforded tax perks for up to 10 years. Foreign investors are guaranteed the ability to take their profits out of the country at free will. But to benefit from such privileges and to be able to enter Iraq in the first place, the investor needs a license from a newly created Commission which oversees the process.
In only one odd article does the foreign investment law allude to investment in the financial markets of Iraq where it says foreign investors are allowed to buy and sell shares in the Iraq Stock Exchange. It does not say however, whether those wanting to invest in the ISX need or do not need, the prior license of the Investment Commission. It makes one wonder whether those who do invest in the capital market can freely take their money in and out of Iraq via the banking the system? Regulations of the Central Bank of Iraq are very cumbersome when it comes to taking out of Iraq any some of money in excess of $10,000.
Brokers who met the chairman of the Iraqi Securities Commission, the regulatory body that overseas the work of the ISX, last Thursday, say they went out of the meeting with the distinct impression that opening up the exchange to foreign investment will not happen any time in the near future. Among the many floating ideas in the meeting, one suggested that without automation and a central depository system, it was futile to make a hasty move of opening the exchanger for foreign traders. Concerns about money laundering were also raised, in addition to concerns about the security of the brokers who handle foreign traders. Foreign investment is seen suspiciously by many in Iraq, especially those who grew up in a closed culture of the old regime. Some say that foreign investment is tantamount to selling the assets of Iraq on the cheap. Similar concerns have strongly been raised about the yet to be enacted oil law which for the first time removes the monopoly of the state over oil exploration and development projects.
