Is the 50 gonna hold???

GateHouse Media Goes Mobile With the Help of Spreed Inc.
Gatehouse Media, (USOTC:GHSE)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Monday 31 January 2011


Community newspaper publisher GateHouse Media, Inc. (www.gatehousemedia.com), has announced a partnership with Toronto-based Spreed Inc. (www.spreedinc.com), to launch community-focused smartphone and iPad applications in its local markets.

Beginning in February, GateHouse will start the rollout of apps – in collaboration with Spreed – for the iPhone, Blackberry, Android and iPad devices. The apps enable smartphone users in GateHouse's local markets to read news from their local newspaper, and will allow advertisers to reach users of smartphones in GateHouse markets.

"There has been tremendous growth in the mobile space that we believe will only continue to explode," said GateHouse Media CEO Michael Reed. "We are excited about the future possibilities for growth in our markets that mobile provides. Early adoption and strategic expansion of our local news apps meet the needs of our readers and advertisers in this rapidly developing space and enhance our coverage in the markets we serve."

All applications published by GateHouse will have the same look and feel, but will contain unique branding, stories, images and community events. In addition to the applications, GateHouse will also be licensed for Spreed's CleverAds mobile advertising platform and Mobile Insight, its mobile analytics suite. Access to Mobile Insight will allow GateHouse to include mobile usage statistics as part of their digital circulation numbers, by way of a recent partnership between Spreed and the Audit Bureau of Circulation. It will also allow GateHouse to offer targeted advertising opportunities to their existing clients, enabling local advertisers to display their message to the right user, at the right time, in the right place.

"We are beginning to see a large group of newspaper publishers in North America embrace mobile platforms as a new, innovative and profitable distribution channel, said Spreed CEO Anthony Novac. "Spreed Mobile channels cut distribution costs significantly and also provide the opportunity to create a completely new and untapped revenue source for newspaper organizations. We are excited to be working with a group as innovative and far-reaching as GateHouse Media."

"We are in the midst of an unprecedented evolution in the delivery methods available for reaching existing readers and new audiences," said GateHouse Vice President of News & Interactive Brad Dennison. "We are excited to have a partner as cutting-edge as Spreed in our corner as we push ahead."

According to Morgan Stanley Research, the smartphone market will grow to 1 billion units by 2013. Informa Telecoms 7 Media predicts that mobile advertising revenues will increase eight-fold by 2015 to around $25 billion.

Took a position.

22.75 could very well be the bottom for the day. I'm not playing it though.

The swings today seriously insane IMO. Just watching...

Here we go!!!!!

Crazy volatility today.

Canadian take on lithium

Facebook | Twitter | Email | Instapaper

Barry Critchley, Financial Post
Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2011

Argentina and Chile may be home to some of the largest developments in the lithium industry, but a Canadian company that operates in Quebec is set to get a jump start on some of its better known competitors. Canada Lithium Corp. is rasing $110-million via a bought deal -- one of the largest financings by a company in the lithium industry. The proceeds from the financing, co-led by Scotia Capital and Macquarie Capital Markets, will be used to partially fund the construction of an open-pit mine and processing plant near Val d'Or. The plant is expected to cost about US$202-million.

The issuer sold 73.35 million shares at $1.50 a share. At $1.50 a share, the new shares were being sold at a very healthy 16.66% discount to the closing price Monday. The shares closed Tuesday at $1.63.

But Canada Lithium isn't involved with greenfield developments. The deposit was mined between 1955 and 1965, producing spodumene and lithium carbonate products for sale to the North American market. The operation was mothballed when the U.S. government decided to wind down its strategic reserve of lithium.

The financing comes a few weeks after Canada Lithium completed a so-called 43-101 feasibility study for the development of a mine and lithium carbonate processing facility. Plans call for construction to start by the middle of this year with the plant being commissioned by the end of next year. Plans call for 20,000 tonnes of lithium to be produced a year. The plant will produce battery-grade lithium. (Part of that output will be marketed by the Japanese trading firm, Mitsui and Co. Ltd., to clients in China, Korea and Japan. That agreement was signed in April 2009.) As well, the project has the potential to produce another material that could be saleable to the North American and European glass, foundry and ceramics markets.

Two weeks before that announcement, Canada Lithium garnered $10-million from Blackrock Inc., a large global asset-management firm. That investment was the largest in the company to date.

So given Canada Lithium has raised about half the capital required to fund the construction cost of the open-pit mine and processing plant, attention now turns to where it will find the balance. There are two possible sources: Mitsui, which has a marketing agreement with the company, may step up, as may several private-sector or provincially run funds based in Quebec.

---

Lithium has emerged as a growth sector of late because of the need to produce efficient batteries for electric/hybrid cars. And Canada and Australia have been at the forefront in some of the latest developments. For instance:

- June 2010. Orocbre Ltd., an Australian-based company that six months earlier secured an investment from Toyota Motor to develop a lithium mine in Argentina, applies to list its shares on the TSX in hopes of raising $20-million from local investors.

- August 2010. Privately owned Talison Lithium Ltd. and publicly held Canadian-listed Salares Lithium merged and raised $40-million through a private placement. The proceeds were to be used to expand Talison's operations in Australia and accelerate the exploration of Salares' properties in Quebec.

In general the lithium projects in South America are different from those in other parts of the world given that the raw material is found is salty marshes and reservoirs. As well for some of them lithium is not the core business given that they are mainly chemical and fertilizer companies.

Bill said no more drilling. That could be really dangerous. No 43-101 and don't expect one. Goro is unlike anything out there. Goro will just continue to mine and expand. No more drilling results will be prd

Drill baby drill!

Ready for golden week!

I may be back in long...

Egypt's unrest just starting. As Egypt goes, so does the Arab world. What do middle east tensions do to the price of oil? Makes it rise. Zlus still drilling, right? Drill baby drill!

Besides yesterdays small blunder, great week of trading here. Have a nice weekend all you GORO followers. PR monday IMO.

Lethal combination.

MMTE to the desert!!!!!!

Not gonna get a squeeze w/ this volume...

What I mean is I shoulda bought those 13's/14's. I feel like an idiot. I mean how many lithium sub penny plays are out there. I'm always buying at the ask from now on. I'm soooooo stupid!!!! Errrrrrr. I'll learn.
