(PINKS:ONMC) Cashing in on China's Demand for Clean Water


Dear readers,
I have come across a company involved in a china water play. The company is Pink ONMC and the new name of the company is AQUA GOLD INTERNATIONAL INC.
although very speculative at 2.4 cents a share my reasons for profiling are as follows.

Clean water is scarce in China. Economic expansion has led to water sources being squeezed at both ends: Not only is demand rocketing from agriculture, industry, and an increasingly wealthy population, but supplies are shrinking because of unchecked pollution.

A study by the Asian Development Bank found that 60% of China's 669 cities suffer water shortages, and nearly half of the country's 800 million farmers have no access to safe drinking water.

"Water is going to be a major problem for China in the coming years," David Arthur, Shanghai regional manager of environmental consultancy ERM, told China Economic Review in October.

As if on cue, massive outbreaks of algae erupted across China's major freshwater lakes this summer. Lake Tai, which borders the city of Wuxi near Shanghai, was covered in bright green algae sludge that thrived on the pollutants being dumped into the water by chemicals factories. The situation got so bad that the city had to cut off water supplies for days.

The government has long realized the scale of the problem. It started a major policy push, under the 11th Five-Year Plan, released in 2005, to increase the country's supply of clean water. This includes boosting efficiency and raising wastewater treatment standards.

Please find the attached profile for Aqua Gold international. There is a large float of approximately 250 million shares so liquidity is not a problem, however expect heavy trading along with extreme price volatility. Get ready for lots of action.

AQUA GOLD INTERNATIONAL INC. is a Canadian Corporation distributing and exporting its proprietary brand of premium natural spring water. Since the company’s inception, the South-Pacific region has been the focus of our operations. The area’s extremely fast growing demands and the creation of Aqua gold Asia a Chinese corporation, have allowed Aqua gold International to establish a prominent position in the Chinese market.

As a result, Aqua gold International is poised to respond to the world’s fastest growing market in bottled water industry over the next five years. Currently, Aqua gold International is delivering its largest orders to date. In order to fulfill the growing demand in a responsible fashion, implementation of elements to increase production capabilities and expand the supply network through its current acquisitions is well underway. Recent nominations of high profile elements to Aquagold International’s board of directors and marketing team have followed both in Canada and in China.


ABOUT OUR WATER

Aqua Gold’s proprietary brand of spring water called "AQUA GOLD" is bottled on a Native Reserve, the Mohawk Nation Territory of Akwesasne in Canada by Iroquois Water Ltd.. The production facility is 56,000 square feet with an adjoining 72,000 square foot warehouse. The manufacturing facility is equipped with the most technically advanced, fully integrated Krones high-speed bottling line easily expandable to multiple bottling lines. The bottling process is fully automated thereby preserving the integrity and quality of the finished product.

Aqua Gold International’s manufacturer, Iroquois Water Ltd., has been recognized by Wal-Mart, the Canadian Bottled Water Association (CBWA), the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA), and the National Sanitation Foundation as a superior quality producer, notably receiving a very high score on the Wal-Mart plant inspection and receiving awards for quality and excellence in manufacturing from the CBWA. The water is described as being of premium quality and it is extracted from two sources: Rouge River in Calumet, Quebec being the primary and Adirondack conservation area surrounded by 1000 acres of mature forest in Chateauguay, New York. The spring water is sodium free and has a very low fluoride content of only 0.05 ppm for both sources. Its pH value is perfectly balanced at 7.2 pH, which is equivalent to that of the human body.

The water is considered to be very responsive to current taste trends and meets all government quality standards, including those of the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA’s standard for Total Dissolved Solids for spring water is 500 mg/L, however, the ideal level for the most acceptable taste to the consumer is between 100-200 mg/L. The spring water has a TDS of 170 mg/L for the Chateauguay source and 160 mg/L for the Bell Falls, Quebec source. Both sources of the water are confirmed to be reliable to produce natural spring water with consistency for a virtually indefinite period of time.





Aqua Gold International, Inc. has completed a two-year distribution contract via the delivery of 5 million cases of its premium bottled water in the Asia-Pacific region. http://www.aquagoldinternational.com/asiancontract.html

For the past two years Aqua Gold has developed a solid and trustworthy relationship with its Chinese distributor, which has a well-established distribution network and is very familiar with the bottled water industry in China.

The Company has spent the last four days negotiating a second distribution agreement with its Asian-based partners and anticipates closing the contract this week. The contract involves the distribution of a significant number of cases over the next five years that will capitalize on the huge demand in the Asia-Pacific bottled water market. Management will inform its shareholders of the agreement's terms and conditions as soon as the final documents are completed.

As stated in the Market Overview provided by The Ministry of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the lack of clean, potable water in China has created a desperate need to generate alternative water sources. The Overview also states: "Approximately two-thirds of Chinese cities face water supply shortages. Sixty percent of the rivers flowing through urban areas are polluted. These realities have created an enormous and growing demand for bottled water. Sales have increased, and will continue to increase to meet consumer demand. It is projected that China will be one if not the world's fastest growing markets over the next five years."

In addition, the 2008 Olympics in Beijing will create an even greater demand for bottled water. In Beijing Review, China's National English Weekly, the city has received negative publicity for its shortage of water resources and chronically water-short Beijing is said to seek out elaborate plans to accommodate an extra 2.5 million temporary residents and to guarantee their water supply.
