3 Small Caps with 9%-Plus Yields

Are you an income investor or a growth investor? It's pretty much been accepted as common knowledge that a stock either offers great dividends, or great potential for price appreciation, but not both. If you look hard enough though -- and far enough down the market cap scale -- every now and then you'll find a double-barreled name that serves up the best of both worlds.
In fact, there are three such ideas I've found worth considering today.

Small cap yield # 1: 9%
Though categorized as a credit services stock, that's not actually what Fifth Street Finance Corp. (NYSE: FSC) is. It's mostly a business development company, or BDC, offering conventional and bridge financing to smaller but established business. Many of the loans, however, include an equity component… which is where the growth opportunity is packed in for Fifth Street's shareholders.
Whether you define it as a fund, a BDC, or just a conglomerate, one thing is undisputable -- Fifth Street Finance knows how to drive consistent income, the bulk of which is passed along to shareholders.
While 2010 was a bit of an off year, with the company only earning $0.95 a share, 2011's earnings are expected to reach $1.17 a share.
Astute investors will notice that the trailing dividend yield of about 10% is slightly greater than the recently-projected earnings yield of 9.3%... a scenario that seemingly can't last indefinitely. Don't sweat it. The financier closed more than $270 million worth of new loans in the yet-to-be reported quarter ending at the end of December. That was by leaps and bounds the busiest quarter the company had seen all year, pointing to one key theme: business is picking up. The dividend rate should be easy to cover by mid-year at the current pace of business.

Small cap yield #2: 10%
With a dividend yield around 10% and a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about 9, Israeli telecom Partner Communications Co. (Nasdaq: PTNR) may well be one of the market's best-kept secrets.
In fact, Partner Communications is on pace to turn in its best year ever on the revenue and income fronts: analysts are looking for $6.5 billion in revenue and earnings per share (EPS) of $7.97. That's 6.9% and 8.1% higher than 2009's respective numbers, a feat underscored by five straight annual EPS increases and revenue increases in four out of the past five years. Yet, the market continues to overlook the stock. Big mistake.
Partner Communications has not only upped its bottom line in the past few years, but it's also increased its dividend payout accordingly. For perspective, shareholders received a total of $1.33 a share in dividends in 2006, but owners took in $2.09 a share in regular dividends in 2010.
The point is, the dividend is well protected, and growing with the company.

Small cap yield #3: 9%
And finally, Triangle Capital Corp. (NYSE: TCAP) is another one of those off-the-radar ways to score some nice income on your investments while waiting for capital appreciation.
Like Fifth Street Finance, Triangle Capital is predominantly a business development company. And, like Fifth Street, Triangle Capital has gotten strangely good at driving consistent income. Like Partner Communications, however, Triangle Capital has clearly paired bigger bottom lines with better dividend payouts.
As of the last tally, the forecasted earnings per share for 2011 is $1.67. That's actually a little more than enough to cover the $1.65 worth of dividends -- a yield of about 9% -- paid out in 2010. Considering we're starting to see more earnings beats than misses from Triangle, however, don't be surprised if both figures inch higher this year.

Things to consider
But two small cap business development companies in the same portfolio -- each of which specializes in small company financing? Isn't that a tad concentrated, like owning two mutual funds from the same style box?
In some regards yes, but in most regards, no.
One of the advantages a BDC has that investors can't find anywhere else is a BDC's ability and willingness to invest in small, growing companies that are investment-worthy, but not always publicly-traded. These are the stocks that are most like the Amgens and Microsofts from 20 and 30 years ago, when each was a great idea practically nobody had heard of at the time (even if they were publicly traded then). But, each BDC has very unique investment opportunities presented to it that rarely make their way in front of other business development companies.
So, the industry actually offers a lot of built-in diversity, and more importantly, it offers the one-two punch of income as well as growth.

Action to Take --> It's tough to find the best of both worlds, but not impossible. Clearly though, you have to look at the smaller end of the stock size scale to find a decent selection of names with both good growth and income potential. And, you generally have to move quickly when you see such an opportunity, simply because other investors are looking for the same assets and can bid them up before you step in. Any of these three names mentioned are good options for investors.

10 American Companies That Will Disappear in 2011



Companies disappear all the time. Sure, it may be news when large corporations with well-known brands go belly-up. But think about it: Businesses like Circuit City, Northwest Airlines and Countrywide are gone now.

24/7 Wall St. recently looked at a number of large American companies, some of which are owned by foreign companies, to see which will disappear in 2011. A vanishing firm may go bankrupt and its assets sold off, it may be closed after being bought by another company or it may cease to exist due to a merger.

The website looked at a variety of companies: those that are in deep trouble, the merger and acquisitions targets, firms in industries that have too many competitors for any to become highly profitable or corporations that Wall Street believes are worth more in parts than as a whole. The 19 companies below were picked from this universe, because odds they are they won't exist a year from now:

Saab USA
Saab has tried to create a renaissance of sorts. The company was sold to Netherlands specialty carmaker Spyker last year. Spyker took an awful risk, particularly in the U.S. -- because Saab is one of the few car firms that did recover when the U.S. car market expanded last year. The total number of cars and light vehicles sold in America in 2010 was up 11% to 11.6 million.

Sales of some niche brands surged. Porsche sales in the U.S. were up 29% to over 29,000. Audi sales rose 22% to over 101,000. But Saab sales collapsed -- falling 37% to 5,445. American car companies have also created new lines of vehicles that have begun to sell well, particularly in the middle market where Saab operates. The Japanese still control the lower-price, high-quality portion of the market. And Korea's Hyundai took share from nearly everyone else last year, as its sales rose over 24% to just above 538,000. There's no room in the American market for tiny operator like Saab.

Office Depot
The company is running third in a three-horse race with Office Max and Staples. Office Depot also has to compete with small business centers in Sam's Clubs and Costcos. The firm operates on razor-thin margins, while managing 1,150 locations -- which are very costly due to employee and real estate expenses. Office Depot is a strong candidate to be taken over by one of its rivals or a broader retail chain like Target.

The market is too competitive for Office Depot to stand on its own. A consolidation in the sector would allow a merged operation to cut thousands of people and close hundreds of locations. Operating margins, then, would not be so modest.

Dean Foods
The maker of dairy products like Land O'Lakes and Silk has struggled as much as any other large public company this year. The costs of raw milk, butterfat, soybeans and sugar have risen sharply. Dean Foods has also been crippled by debt. The firm's shares were down as much as 60% at one point during the last 12 months.

Despite all the bad news, hedge fund investor David Tepper bought a 7.35% stake in the company. Dean Foods shares rose 9% after the announcement. Dean has already sold its yogurt business to Schreiber Foods. And Tepper, one of the cleverest investors on Wall Street, has probably bet the balance of Dean Foods will be sold off in parts. Probably the Fresh Dairy Direct-Morningstar and WhiteWave/Alpro business units would draw the most bidders. Watch for Dean to be broken up, to satisfy debtholders and arge investors.

Frontier Airlines
The carrier is owned by Republic Airways Holdings and was bankrupt when Republic bought it in 2009. Republic recently merged another of its holdings, Midwest Air, into Frontier. Denver-based Frontier is simply too small to compete in the domestic carrier market -- which has become increasingly dominated by large airlines that are growing due to mergers.

Wall Street has also become increasingly worried about Republic's future. Its shares are down 13% over the last quarter, while shares in rival JetBlue are up 9% during the same time frame. Frontier's Milwaukee hub, which serves the East and Midwest, and its Denver hub, which serves the West, the South, and Mexico, would be valuable to a larger carrier. Airline mergers and buyouts like the Continental/United deal and Delta's takeover of Northwest are popular in the industry because they allow for personnel reductions and route cuts -- as well as trimming the number of aircraft that have to be maintained. Two airlines together can have a better margin than separately. Frontier is a buyout target; its brand is not.

Sara Lee
The company that makes Ball Park hot dogs and Jimmy Dean breakfast foods is already being circled by corporations in similar businesses and by private equity firms -- groups interested in breaking Sara Lee up. Apollo Global Management has recently considered a bid. JBS, the Brazilian meat processor, made an offer that was turned down.

Media reports say Sara Lee is in the midst of a plan to separate its coffee and meat businesses. If that happens, the new companies may be named Hillshire Farm and Pickwick Tea. A deal to sell off pieces of the firm will probably happen before midyear.

Borders
The large bookstore chain is almost gone already. The only question remaining is whether it will be dissolved or sold to a related retailer like Barnes & Noble. It appears Borders has little choice other than to go bankrupt, given its debt and cash-flow situation. Two ominous signs for the bookseller: It says it's unable to pay some of its largest publishers for their books.

Border's stock also dropped under $1 a share, a warning sign that the shares could eventually be delisted -- that is, if Borders lasts long enough. The company's 500 locations may have value to a buyer, but its name does not, being associated with little more than failure.

Gateway
Gateway was bought by Taiwanese PC giant Acer in 2007. Acer is currently the No. 3 PC company in the world after Dell and Hewlett-Packard. The buyout was not unlike the one that China-based Lenovo made of the IBM PC division. Lenovo found the IBM brand was useful for marketing in the U.S., but dropped the name in favor of its own. Lenovo saw no reason to support two brands any longer and wanted to be recognized by its corporate name in the U.S. market.

Acer, meanwhile, has become an established brand in the U.S. over the last two years, particularly for its netbooks and notebooks -- while the Gateway brand has faded. Gateway is still a stand-alone corporation but will likely disappear this year.

DollarThrifty
Dollar Thrifty has a tentative deal to be bought by Avis Budget -- but the FTC has not given the transaction final approval. If the buyout closes, then the Avis, Budget, Dollar and Thrifty car rental businesses will all be under one roof. Dollar Thrifty has lost any momentum in its efforts to expand. The company said in December that it would add 31 new franchises in the U.S. It has 1,550 locations in 81 countries worldwide.

Ironically, Dollar Thrifty is itself the result of a merger of two companies. Thrifty was owned by Chrysler and combined with Dollar in 1990. Avis should close its takeover by mid-2011

Answers Corp.
The online search firm's stock is down 40% in five years. Google, in comparison was up nearly 40% during that period. The smaller company had third-quarter revenue of only $4.5 million, which means it barely has a reason to be a public company. Operating income for the quarter was only $379,000, and its total average page views daily are about 14 million.

Answers will likely be sold to a company that could use its technology platform and unique visitor traffic. This might include one of the portals or large online content companies like News Corp. The company's market value is only $65 million, which is pocket change for a really large Web company.

E*Trade
There are too many big discount brokers in the U.S. There have been persistent rumors that E*Trade will be bought by one of its larger competitors --Charles Schwab or TDAmeritrade. The rumors even caused a large move in E*Trade's options early last month. Broker Collins Stewart downgraded E*Trade shares recently, pointing to problems with loan portfolio growth on the banking side of the online brokerage's business.

Wall Street's view of the other two discounters is much more positive. The brokerage business has been ideal for consolidation for years. Full-service brokers went through a large number of mergers and acquisitions in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. The reason for the rollups were compelling then as they are now for E*Trade. There are a number of expensive duplicate functions among these companies -- which include marketing costs, trading platforms and administration. Either Schwab or TDAmeritrade will use those economies of scale to buy E*Trade, the weakest member of the sector.


Nine Tax Deductions You Shouldn't Even Think About Claiming

If you opt to itemize your deductions on your federal income tax return, you'll see a lot of emphasis on saving taxes by not overlooking common deductions. This makes sense because, as a taxpayer, you absolutely have the right to reduce your taxable income by using your available deductions. However, be smart. Make sure you claim those deductions for which you're entitled and steer clear of bogus deductions. To help you out, following is a list of nine deductions that you shouldn't even think about claiming on your tax return:

1.) Reimbursed Job Expenses. It's true that you can deduct business expenses on your federal income tax return so long as they are paid or incurred during your tax year; used for carrying on your trade or business of being an employee; and ordinary and necessary. However, the expenses must also be unreimbursed -- to the extent that your employer pays you back for any of those costs, those portions of the expenses are not deductible.

2.) Diets and Health Club Dues. Most diets and health club dues aren't deductible even if your doctor has recommended that you lose some weight in order to improve your health. While you can deduct medical expenses for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease, including the costs of doctors and medications, you cannot deduct the cost of expenses that are merely beneficial to your health -- this includes most diets and health club dues. To be deductible, the diet or exercise plan must be specifically prescribed by a doctor for a diagnosed medical condition, not as preventative care and not just so that you look and feel better. Some limited exceptions apply.

3.) Primary Telephone Landlines. The IRS will allow you to deduct the cost of a second telephone landline or a cell phone to be used in business but you may not deduct the cost of your home telephone line -- even if you use it for business. The IRS considers a primary telephone line routinely personal and thus, not deductible. You may not pro rate the cost of the phone even if you can prove non-personal use. You can, however, deduct long distance and other related charges if you can prove business use.

4.) Home Improvements. At some point, almost every homeowner spends money for some kind of improvements to their home. For the most part, while those improvements may make your home more comfortable (and may increase the cost basis and fair market value of your home), they are generally not deductible. You may still be entitled to a tax break, however: Under current law, you can get a tax credit for the purchase and installation of certain energy-efficient improvements.

5.) Campaign Expenses. Thinking of running for office? To the extent that you have to pay for campaign expenses out of pocket, you're going to have to chalk that up to the cost of public service. Expenses incurred as part of your election campaign aren't deductible on your federal income tax return.

6.) Commuting Costs. While it's true that you can deduct certain travel expenses related to your job (such as traveling from one workplace to another in the course of your job or business; visiting clients, vendors or customers; and going to a business meeting away from your workplace), you can't deduct the costs of commuting to and from work. This is true even if you travel long distances to work (say, from Philadelphia to New York City every day) or if the method of getting to work is expensive (for example, you take a cab).

7.) Charitable Services. While you can deduct the cost of goods and cash that you donate to qualified organizations, you may not deduct the cost of services that you donate to charity, even if you can easily measure the value of those services. You can, however, deduct out of pocket costs that you incur while performing those services.

8.) Pet Care. If you're like me, you may consider your pet a member of your family. However, as much as you may adore your furry (or scaly) addition to the family, he or she does not count as a dependent. You may not deduct the cost of taking care of your pet even if your pet incurs significant medical expenses. An exception applies with respect to guide dogs and service animals -- you can include the costs of buying, training and maintaining those animals as part of your deductible medical expenses.

9.) Attorney's Fees. Attorney's fees may be deductible for businesses, but as a general rule, individual taxpayers cannot deduct most legal fees. This includes attorney's fees related to divorces, disputes over property boundaries and personal injury cases. Those legal disputes are considered personal in nature, which means the IRS won't allow you to take a deduction for them. However, you can deduct personal legal fees that you paid to determine, contest, pay or claim a refund of any tax (including tax advice) as well as those legal fees related to producing or collecting taxable income.

Hope this helps some of you out on your taxes!

Proximity Marketing - The next wave of the future for technology

Proximity marketing has two major components. Traditional proximity marketing is marketing to the radius of your particular store or service. However, over time it has come to mean distribution of localized wireless advertising content associated with your business or product. Consumers pick up the transmission with their cell phones, Internet-abled devices or Bluetooth or Wi-Fi devices. Follow the steps to learn how to do proximity marketing.
Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

    • 1
      Install proximity broadcast stations at malls and specialty stores, wherever your product is sold. Location based marketing should reach your target audience. Make sure to show signs telling to customers to turn Bluetooth devices on to receive free messages.
    • 2
      Broadcast coupons to phones and devices, giving instant savings or free items. For example, if you have an ice cream shop outside a high-traffic walking path, giving a buy-one-get-one-free coupon may slow customers enough to stop and act on that impulse.
    • 3
      Use contextual advertising--ads appearing as content on the consumers' cell phone, selected based on the user's displayed content. If the consumer walks through a mall, he/she may welcome a free advertisement to hear about sales and promotions as well as new products or services.
    • 4
      Give localized information, such as maps and information related to your area. For example, a theater could give movie listings and show times for that particular location.
    • 5
      Display gaming and music content. Consumers who love these forms of entertainment would also love receiving free screenshots of a new game or song from a new album. This is especially important for electronics and music stores, as it could bring interested consumers, impressed at your level of technology and knowledge, into your store.
    • 6
      Show content on demand. Give access to ads, information and discounts as the consumer wants it, allowing them choice.

Gold American Mining Corp. Guadalupe Drilling Update



RENO, NV, Nov 10, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Gold American Mining Corp. /quotes/comstock/11k!sila (SILA 0.69, -0.03, -3.52%) ("Gold American" and/or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on its drilling campaign at its Guadalupe Property located in Zacatecas State, Mexico.
As of November 8, 2010, five drill holes had been completed and a total of 1,767.1 meters had been drilled. The rig was mobilized to the location for drill hole No. 6 on November 9, 2010 and drilling is expected to resume this morning. The planned target depth for drill hole No. 6 is 350 meters and we expect to reach it within the next 10 days. The company is still waiting for the first set of assay results to come back from Steward Labs in Canada.

"I am very satisfied with the progress of the drilling campaign to date. We have successfully drilled the first five drill holes at an average drilling rate of approximately 55 meters per day and without any incidents," commented Mr. Johannes Petersen, Gold American's CEO. "I look forward with anticipation to the assay results, which I understand have been delayed because of the industry's higher level of drilling activity and higher laboratory services' demand," added Mr. Petersen.
As previously announced, the primary goal of this 2,500-meters drill program is to test the down dip extensions of the at least 6 veins that have been identified to date on the property. We will continue to provide regular updates on our drilling operations as new information becomes available. Please refer to Projects Section on our website at www.gold-american.com for further information on our drilling program and for recent photographs of the operations.

THE GUADALUPE PROPERTY The Guadalupe property contains two historically significant mines and is located in one of Mexico's oldest mining districts, roughly 5 miles north of the Fresnillo (Proano) Mine, the world's richest underground silver mine, operated by Fresnillo plc. Roughly 6.8 miles to the southwest of Silver America's Guadalupe Property is the Juanicipio Joint Venture (JV) between MAG Silver Corp. (MAG) and Fresnillo plc, which is known as one of the world's highest grade undeveloped silver resources.
The Property contains greater than 20 known workings as well as two historic mines - Santa Rita and San Antonio. Historic records containing references to the Santa Rita and San Antonio mines suggest that both mines were important and reached their height of production between 1910 and 1920 but were last in production in the 1980s. The property is completely surrounded by land controlled by Penoles (either through Fresnillo or other subsidiaries and partners).

Highlight results from previous results include:
--  1.00 g/t Au and 946.9 g/t Ag over 1.1m (including 1.83 g/t Au and
    1,800.0 g/t Ag over 0.5 m)
--  0.30 g/t Au and 622.0 g/t Ag from a mineralized dump
--  0.59 g/t Au and 330.0 g/t Ag over 0.7 m
--  5.35 g/t Au and 1,189.0 g/t Ag from a mineralized dump

Spectrum Announces Possibility of High Grade Gold Deposits



AUSTIN, Texas, Oct 13, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Spectrum Acquisition Holdings, Inc. /quotes/comstock/11i!spah (SPAH 0.00, +0.00, +17.65%) , a growing mining exploration, technology and services organization, announces the possibility of high grade gold deposits on its Graham Gulch Gold Mines.
Spectrum Acquisition Holdings' subsidiary Avalon Perspectives LTD, LCC recently purchased The Graham Gulch Gold Mines in Siskiyou County, California. Since the purchase various evaluations of the land have been made and will continue to be made. The land looks very promising and there seems to be a good possibility of potential high grade deposits.
Spectrum Acquisition Holdings CEO Dale Henry comments, "The Salmon River is one of the richest river systems in America. Quite a bit of mining has been done in this region and still is being done, with enormous success. Lode veins have been mined here till 1940, and have been known to have high grade pockets. World War II put a financial damper on the world, and they stopped mining this region shortly there after. Luckily for us this means little prospecting has been done since the 1940s, leaving untapped veins for us to explore."

About Spectrum Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (SPAH.PK)

Spectrum Acquisition Holdings is executing a three-pronged strategy for growth. The Company is acquiring interests in high quality, low-risk gold projects with past production and sizeable resources. Spectrum is developing technology solutions to enable more sustainable, smaller footprint mineral exploration, production and processing.

CPMCF estimates property to hold +1billion in minerals‏

CPMCF is clearly our best pick ever as it has run from 0.03 to 0.50 producing gains of nearly 2000% for our members who got it early.
 
Many folks claim to have made $100,000+ so far and we wouldn't be surprised if some members even became millionaires thanks to CPMCF. 
 
Now who's next?
 
CPMCF just announced for the first time estimates of what could really be hidden underneath the Santa Rita property...
 
CPMCF estimates Silver, Lead and Zinc reserves in Santa Rita to be worth at least 1billion dollars!
 
Everyone figured that there was much more than the 350 million the report showed as proven. Even the 43-101 report itself mentioned that it is a MINIMUM of 350million and that there is a much larger vein that could possibly contain much more minerals.
 
by CPMCF's estimates it's at least close to 3 times more!
 
The street has been buying CPMCF with a mind set on 350million, but this 1billion estimate could change everthing!
 
CPMCF has MAJOR short positions in play. We believe they will cover this week which could catapult share price into new heights!
CPMCF rose 2000% this past week. If it adjusts tomorrow to the breaking news of the 1billion mineral estimate it could TRIPLE tomorrow.
 
CPMCF is set to profit from the rising price of Gold and Silver. Experts say Gold will be hitting $5,000 an ounce in the coming 24 months while Silver could reach $100. Buying stock in a publicly traded company is one of the preferred methods of getting into a ‘rush’ such a ‘minerals rush’. You don’t have to own physical bullion, and you can buy as small or as big of portfolio as you want. It is also very liquid and the profit is bigger as when a company excavates Gold for example it could cost say $300 but the price of gold is $1400 so there is a $1100 profit right off the bat for shareholders. Whereas if you buy gold at $1400 your only upside is when it goes up from there.

CPMCF has caught the attention of wall street. It is the most traded company today on OTC with nearly 10,000 individual trades!
 
 
The current PPS of 50 cents if adjusted for the newest estimate could possibly mean that we are looking at 1.50 a share tomorrow!
 
 
As you probably all know Barrick Gold is one of the biggest companies in the world in its field with a market cap of nearly 50 billion.
Now, something that is exciting us a lot is that Barrick Gold Corp has a mine in Ontario, Canada with proven Gold reserves of nearly 2billion dollars.
Barrick Gold’s Hemlo Property is located only a few miles away from CPMCF’s Hotstone property.
 
We have yet to see a 43-101 report from CPMCF regarding the Hotstone project but everyone knows that the area where the property is has already yielded over 200billion worth of gold in the past few decades. All the big players have mines there, and we are lead to believe by default that there could be a significant amount of gold deposits in HotStone.
We think CPMCF is very well positioned on the Gold front with its amazing property’s location.

We still think CPMCF is trading at bargain levels! 
 
 
We strongly believe there is no reason why it couldn’t run past two bucks in the coming days and almost 8000% since our initial alert!

Up 50% today on discovery of 350million worth of silver‏







CPMCF is up 50% today on insane volume
CPMCF could be headed to tremendous highs of over 5000%
CPMCF is positioned to profit in a monster fashion from the all-time high prices of gold and silver.
CPMCF is a homerun literaly worth its weight in silver. Enough with the jokes, we were expecting an announcement at some point regarding proven reserves of Gold in Coastal's Canada property, however
it seems like that is being overshadowed right now by today's announcement of the 43101 report that shows at least 350million worth of silver in the Peru property.
Now that's some BIG numbers. This is the kind of stuff we like to see!
When we alerted CPMCF to our members at 0.03 we were alerting it is based on the genuine potential their properties had, and we really thought that it was possibly worth 0.25 a share at the time.
But now it's a whole different ball game. With just the 43-101 technical report on the silver we believe this company could actually be worth 10 bucks a share.
CPMCF is already up 300% but that is insignificant compared to 5000% + we think it should be experiencing in the coming weeks. The value is definitely there and it seems like Wallstreet hasn't quite yet figured out the meaning of the report that came out this morning.
CPMCF released detailed news regarding the property in Peru, and we'll be 'translating' that for our subscribers here today.
CPMCF essentially announced that a 43-101 technical report was done on the property which shows an excess of 1.3million tons of mineralization with possibly a value that would amount to more than 350million based on $500 per ton head grade. Moreover there is potential for a MUCH larger manto underlying the one at the surface (but this one has not been proven yet).
In our opinion and in the opinion of several accomplished geologists there is quite possibly much more silver in there, but we'll stick to the current announcement for now.
The important part here is the 43-101 technical report which many don't seem to understand
This is why the 43-101 is so important:
It is a national instrument to ensure that misleading, erroneous or fraudulent information relating to mineral properties is not published and promoted to investors.
It basically means that with the fact that this announcement is based on a 43-101 report. It guarantees that the report is accurate and truthful. Meaning that the data showing potentially AT LEAST 350million worth of silver IS RELIABLE and CORRECT.
Based on that alone. We think this could seriously be trading at 10 bucks.
Moreover, CPMCF announced information regarding its Canada Hotstone gold property. The area has already yielded over 208 Billion worth of gold since companies began mining there.
We believe that there could possibly be something big about to happen as well related to the Hotstone gold property.
CPMCF has a website that can be found at CostalPacificMiningCorp . com
The management is solid, the announcements are solid, the locations are breathtaking and the gains the PPS is experiencing is phenomenal.
We invite EVERYONE to keep a very very close eye on CPMCF in the coming days and weeks.
You can still buy it for around 7 cents now, but we don't know how long it will remain this low for
Could CPMCF be our highest gainer of the year? At 5000% it sure as hell WOULD BE!
