NEW
ORLEANS — Tough to remember when last I saw more newsletter writers and
pro-active resource investors in one room.
No, it was
not the free lunch that sent lightning through this group.
The aficionados here included Brien Lundin, Brent Cook, David Tice, Doug
Casey*, the Blanchards, my friend Tommy Humphreys of CEO.ca, and yes, a few
others I won’t name. I was there with a Nevada deep-pockets investor myself.
Thunderstruck Resources (TSXV: AWE)
is the company. It’s knocking around in Fiji. As in, island of. Or better,
Republic of. Fairly high-grade zinc and copper, with silver and gold.
Million-year-old gold mines, geysers. Beaches. Volcano. Grass skirts.
Some 4
percent of Fiji’s minerals properties are in Thunderstruck’s property
portfolio, consulting geologist, 65-year-old Michael Page, tells me.
Dr. Page
has worked on discoveries in Asia and West Africa, Mali for one. He lives near
Denver, USA.
TCR
subscribers might look at this sub-$1 million market-worth explorer like so: 1.
Does not take much to move the shares, which trade in Canada under the symbol
AWE; 2. Brien (as in Lundin of New Orleans Investment Conference and Gold
newsletter) tells a room of 173 investors he was buying shares recently at 15
cents CAD, and they’re 10 cents now. Brien is a director; 3. The properties on
the island are all from Anglo American Plc; 4. Just 13 million shares or so
outstanding, so a New Orleans luncheon (without gumbo, mind you) can move AWE
shares back to 15 cents and maybe a Canadian quarter; and 5. Aside from all the
geology, the high-grade epithermal setting, the volcanics and so on, the only
thing this company lacks is a solid $1 million or so to kick-start some
drill-rigs over there.
And a few
press releases.
CEO Bryce
Bradley, a 40-year old Toronto and Vancouver financier and merchant
banker, has been trying to create a South Pacific Ring of Fire explorer for
years now. She says she is looking to raise cash at “a higher price than
we have now.”
More to
come on that one, folks. It’s like thunder. And lightning. Almost
frightening. I do not own the shares.
On tech:
you can take this one to your bank — Natcore
Technology (TSXV: NXT)
— NXT in Canada; this solar cell developer will triple on research news
and other reports due out soon. As in weeks. I own a fair amount. Look at
the stock chart on NXT; Brien Lundin is a co-founder of Natcore, and I am here
with CEO Chuck Provini, with David Levy and others from the Rochester, NY,
research team.
Finally, Stellar Biotechnologies (TSXV: KLH)
released paragraphs about its limpets and the clinical testing supply contract
on non-H lymphoma and the stock is kicking in — KLH in Canada; I just ran into
a big owner of the stock who gave me the heads-up. I own this one, and I expect
the $1.50 CAD shares to return to $2.10 shortly.
* Sorry,
did not get a chance to pop Casey, as in Doug, for some color about his
research outfit’s gloom-struck material, zapped to Casey subscribers the other
day: “The Crash Of 2014.” But I will. Robert Prechter in his annual
New Orleans talk broad brushed deflation across the globe.
