Cleantech Stocks Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor Newsletter 


In Environment of Rising Oil Prices, Levine Sees Major Investment Opportunities in Cleantech   
New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, March 2, 2011 – Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector investing including cleantech presents a Q&A with Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter, discussing why cleantech's outlook is excellent for both the short and longer term. Josh discusses his research model for identifying the best pure plays within the sector.    
Investorideas.com Interview:   
Q: Investorideas.com  
Josh, with oil prices surging above $100, cleantech is getting a lot more attention again from Wall Street and independent investors. I know you look at the long term investment picture, so what do you think is driving cleantech and what is your outlook for opportunities in this sector?  
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
Let's first qualify what is meant by the term cleantech. Cleantech is often used interchangeably with green technologies and alternative energy, but it seems to be the one that's emerged to encompass all these things. Cleantech essentially covers technologies that are more energy-efficient than conventional technologies and offer more environmentally-friendly alternatives to fossil-fuel-driven energy applications.  
Broadly speaking, the world is always moving towards more efficient use of resources. Year after year and decade after decade, we manage to get more out of a given amount of resources. The first industrial revolution was powered by coal and though it provided tremendous gains in production, the pollution negatively impacted the quality of life and health of millions of people. 
In the past century, while coal continued to have a prominent role, oil reigned as the fuel of choice because its energy density is so high, it was incredibly abundant, and it's easy to transport. The downside is that the oil supply is finite and that the burning of it leaves an undesirable byproduct. Today, it's becoming increasingly more costly to find and produce new oil -- and that's critical in the energy equation. 
This brings us to cleantech opportunities, which are only just emerging after very long periods of incubation in research and development. What's happening today is a huge shift in the consciousness of governments, corporations and consumers. Of course lots of people are talking about energy efficiency, but there are also many now taking action on all levels.  
Several things are driving this shift toward cleantech including climate change, the fear of running out of global oil supplies, rising world population and the limits of natural resources, higher energy costs, and environmental concerns. And then there's the surging demand from China. That's a pretty powerful mix. And when we combine these forces with the progress being made in new energy technologies, investors have a remarkable opportunity for profits. 
The first electric cars are hitting the road this year after several years of hybrids, and the prospects for broad adoption over the next several years are very promising. With this comes the need for infrastructure to support car charging and that will spawn huge investments in the electric grid and networks to support these new vehicles around the U.S. and all over the world. 
Of course solar and wind will continue to grow as their costs approach parity with conventional energy and they address important niches in the energy sphere. Additionally, there are so many other technologies that are part of the cleantech ecosystem and critical to the development of these markets, including batteries, fuel cells, inverters, demand response and energy management systems, ultracapacitors, superconductor cables and so much more.

To succeed in cleantech, investors really need to stay focused on the bigger picture and to be patient. The energy space moves far slower than, for example, the IT world, so developments unfold at a different rate. But once these technologies start gaining market traction, the valuations of the leading small innovative cleantech companies will generate fantastic returns for investors who got an early start. 
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
You recently just added a new cleantech stock to your portfolio. Can you give us some insight as to what qualified this particular stock based on your investing model?  
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
My latest recommendation in unusual company which has developed and commercialized environmentally safe alternatives to plastics used for food containers, utensils, product wraps, as well as a wide range of parts in autos and many other things. Importantly, it meets all of my most important criteria for a great microcap investment. 
As a cleantech play, this company's biodegradeable and completely safe products can replace petroleum-based polypropylene packaging. The result is less use of oil and a better outcome for the environment. It's a strong proposition. 
It's a classic microcap story with all of the fundamentals in place for soaring growth -- a unique technology platform that's been validated by major customers worldwide, an experienced and proven management team, and powerful market drivers bolstered by increasing demand. 
This company is addressing markets representing annual sales in the tens of billions of dollars, it has proven technology and products that are being rapidly adopted by large corporate customers, it has manufacturing capacity to scale several times current production, and its products are already on parity with polypropylene now that oil prices are north of $100.  
In 2010, sales revenue for this company was $6.3 million, a 133% increase versus 2009, and projected revenue for the 2011 full year is between $24 million and $32 million -- a whopping 300% to 400% increase over 2010! 
With all this going for it, this company is still valued well below $100 million. That's the kind of microcap opportunity I absolutely love!
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
With all the government incentives and funding from this administration, how much of a role does government play for you when you look at a sector or an individual stock?    
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
First, it's important to point out that the oil and nuclear industries have enjoyed massive government subsidies forever. So it's totally ridiculous when some folks get all bent out of shape and complain about the unfair advantages for renewable energy.  
Now, as for the role government plays, I would say that it is a factor on the sector level, especially as it concerns solar subsidies in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. But as we've seen, it's tough to bet on companies when from year to year you don't know what's going to happen regarding tax credits and other such things.  
On the other hand, government R&D grants serve a great purpose for small companies since these funds essentially cover the costs for specific projects and enable firms with limited resources to explore technologies that they may otherwise have to put on the back burner. 
There is one cleantech company in the MicroCap Investor portfolio that has benefitted considerably from government grants and the nice thing for shareholders is that any value created by these projects stays with the company. 
On a final note, the government's role in basic scientific research has always been very fundamental for U.S. economic growth and that's one area that the Feds should continue to focus on. This is especially vital for energy technologies since venture capitalists and other investors don't have the patience or staying power required to take these technologies from lab to market.
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
Within cleantech there are a lot of sub-sectors from smart grid to solar to wind to energy efficiency and others; what are you focusing on and why?     
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor  
All of the above, but I'm especially looking at companies that solve big problems with elegant and cost-efficient solutions. There's got to be a powerful value proposition, adoption by key customers, multi-billion dollar markets, and fast-growing demand on a global scale. 
There are wonderful opportunities in every segment of cleantech, but at the small company level an investor really needs to understand the dynamics of technologies and markets, not to mention to be able to evaluate management teams. 
In the MicroCap Investor portfolio the cleantech companies are involved in energy storage, LED and other advanced lighting, equipment for large-scale solar projects, bioplastics, technologies for increasing the efficiency of the energy grid, and more. 
I'm focusing on these companies because they could deliver profits of 100% to 1,000% over the next several years. In fact, in 2009 I sold our position in demand response company EnerNOC (ENOC) for a 256% profit after only 13 months in the stock. And I recently sold half of our position in a current cleantech holding to capture a 138% profit -- and that's just a small taste of what's ahead.
 
Q: Investorideas.com  
What percentage of your portfolio is in the cleantech space currently and are you looking to add more companies in the space over this year?    
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor 
About one-third of the MicroCap Investor portfolio is devoted to cleantech companies, and I've got several top prospects in my sights. It's tough to predict, but I suspect I'll be adding at least a couple of more cleantech plays to our portfolio this year.  
It's really a matter of quality, not quantity, and I am extremely bullish on the current group we have today. Still, cleantech is a ripe sector and it will yield tremendous opportunities year after year for a very long time. Every growth-oriented investor should make sure a healthy portion of his or her equities portfolio is allocated to cleantech.

Nanotechnology Stocks; mPhase (OTC.BB:XDSL) Smart NanoBattery Published in IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems

LITTLE FALLS, NJ - March 2, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL), a leader in the development of Smart Surfaces and advanced battery technologies announced today that an article describing some of the technical aspects of the Smart NanoBattery architecture is published in the IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems.
The title of the paper, "Robust Si-Based Membranes for Fluid Control in Microbatteries Using Superlyophobic Nanostructures," is published in the IEEE/ASME Journal of icroelectromechanical Systems, a peer review technical journal describing leading edge research and development in areas involving Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) designs.
IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems was the number nine most-cited journal in electrical and electronics engineering in 2004, according to the annual Journal Citation Report (2004 edition) published by the Institute for Scientific Information. Read more at http://www.ieee.org/products/citations.html.
The article describes technical details of how the silicon honeycomb membrane used in the Smart NanoBattery was prepared using MEMS-type processing and the evolution of the unique "nanonail" design features that enable superlyophobic (also called omniphobic, superolephobic) behavior on the surface of the silicon membrane. The article goes on to describe how a variety of low and high-surface-tension liquids were repelled by the porous membranes, without liquid penetrating into the pores of the membrane, and how this design has been applied in the development of a reserve battery using electrowetting for control of cell activation and triggering. The superlyophobic membrane designed and implemented by the mPhase team is the key element of mPhase’s Smart NanoBattery technology.

"Oil and natural gas will continue to meet the majority of the world's growing energy needs for decades to come."1

Point Roberts WA - March 2, 2011 - www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specialized in sector research including energy stocks, releases the following CFA commentary from Patrick J. Murphy, featuring American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH).
Patrick J. Murphy is the owner of Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on smallcap stocks.
"Oil and natural gas will continue to meet the majority of the world's growing energy needs for decades to come."2
Continuing the argument presented in the Company's "Outlook for Energy – A View to 2030"3 , ExxonMobil's assertion delivered at the recent Goldman Sachs Global Energy Conference is based on the expectation that shifts in energy usage and technology will continue to evolve gradually, over decades rather than years, as has been the case historically. While it is undoubtedly true that ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) has a vested interest in the continued dominance of oil and gas as power sources, it's also true that this forecast is difficult to refute.
The macro-economic trends in support of ExxonMobil's assertion are easily identified and the far-reaching impact of the BRIC and other developing nations has been discussed ad nauseam, but it is illuminating nevertheless to attempt to think about these trends in terms of specific data points. As one example, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") estimates4 that there were approximately 840 motor vehicles per 1,000 U.S. citizens in 2008. While the DOE estimate is 140 vehicles per 1,000 citizens for Brazil, the estimate for India is 13 and the estimate for China is 36 vehicles per 1,000 citizens as of 2008. In terms of the aggregate growth in this ratio for the decade ended 2008, the DOE estimates the U.S. fleet grew by 8% compared to 31% for Brazil, 74% for India, and 300% for China - in 1998, there were approximately 9 vehicles per 1,000 Chinese citizens, and this grew to 36 vehicles by 2008.
Investorideas.com Newswire Utilizing the population estimates provided by the CIA Factbook, and assuming no change in the vehicle ratio from 2008 to today, it is likely there are 370 million vehicles in Brazil, India, China, and the United States, which collectively represent about 45% of the world's 6.8 billion population. If it seems unlikely that the developing world will ever require the same level of motor vehicle dependence that has evolved in the U.S., it is worth noting that Canada's ratio as of 2008 was 623, with 563 for the Pacific, and 593 for Western Europe. Outside of these regions, in generally lesser developed countries, the ratios fall significantly, likely implying substantial future demand in these areas well: 300 vehicles per 1,000 citizens for Eastern Europe, 132 for Central and South America, 103 for the Middle East, 54 for the Far East and 27 for Africa.
While predicting additions to the global fleet cannot be accomplished with precision, the general trend is clear – there will be hundreds of millions and likely billions of motor vehicles added over the coming decades. Even ignoring all the other ways in which we devour energy, including the increasingly prominent role of natural gas in power generation, it's hard to imagine the demand for oil and gas decreasing for any meaningful amount of time in the foreseeable future. It's significantly easier to find data that support the argument that the demand for oil will continue climbing over the long-term, and that developing alternative fuels in quantities sufficient enough to meet growing demand in a manner that competes with oil economically is likely to take decades, not years. This is the view taken not only by ExxonMobil, but also by the DOE, which forecasts that despite the rapid growth of renewable energy sources over the coming years and decades, fossil fuels will still provide 78% of U.S. energy use in 2035.
There are a number of ways to invest in this long-term trend including direct investment, commodity futures, and in the stocks of oil services firms or majors such as ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), BP (NYSE: BP) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX). There is also potential opportunity with independent producers like Chesapeake (NYSE: CHK), Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN), and Southwestern (NYSE: SWN).
For those interested in the potential upside of a junior oil and gas exploration and production company, American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) recently announced increased production and an expectation of net revenue proceeds in February from production at the NOJ26 well located in the Company's Woodford Shale acreage in northern Oklahoma. The projected initial projection rate is 40-50 barrels per day currently, with an increase to 100 barrels per day anticipated. AAPH has reported that the southern part of the Company's lease block has room to drill up to 5 horizontal wells, and although these wells can be expensive, as much as $1.75 million per well, the return on investment may be very rapid if production of 500 barrels or more per day is achieved. AAPH also expects there is the potential for up to 25 less expensive vertical wells on this area of the lease block. While continuing to exploit these opportunities throughout 2011, AAPH anticipates a frenzy of activity both in the near and longer term across the Woodford Shale.
Both here in the U.S. and elsewhere, while there may be significant short-term price fluctuations, the likely continued increase in energy demand seems to mandate that fossil fuels will continue to dominate global energy consumption for a long time, and the easiest case to argue is that long-term oil and gas prices must rise. This trend presents opportunity for investment not only in major and independent producers but also among junior exploration and production companies like American Petro-Hunter, which is delivering promising early results from its Woodford Shale acreage.
More info: American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH
The Company is a goal-oriented exploration and production (E&P) Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months. The Company is in production at the Poston Project in Trego County Kansas with new drilling activity and production underway at the North Oklahoma Oil Project. With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer as our goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the hunt for domestic petroleum assets. www.americanpetrohunter.com

Wind Stocks; Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET) Unveils Green Renewable Energy Solution At NIBA Conference


Visit this company: http://www.cleanwindenergytower.com/

Annapolis, Maryland - March 2, 2011 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) - Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET) announced that they would be presenting the Company at National Investment Banking Association (NIBA) Conference to be held on March 2-4, 2011 at the Westin Beach Resort & Spa in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The NIBA Conference will give Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. access to a large audience at one time, NIBA’s membership is vast and multinational, and representing over 8,800 registered reps with an estimated $78BB in assets under management.



The highlight of the Company's presentation given by Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO will be the formal unveiling of their Downdraft Tower featuring Green Dual Renewable Energy Solutions.



Mr. Pickett stated: "Reliable alternative energy is very different from just providing green solutions. The Tower produces energy 24/7. The Tower creates wind using natural solar energy and water. The Tower is actually a power plant with a predictable production of electricity. Knowing its cost of producing electricity for a long term separates the Tower from other alternative sources."



The Downdraft Tower is a hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. Pumps deliver water to the top of the Downdraft Tower to spray a fine mist across the entire opening. The water evaporates and cools the hot dry air at the top. The cooled air is more dense and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to 50 mph, driving the turbines located at the base of the structure. The turbines power generators to produce electricity. The Downdraft Tower has the capability of being operated with virtually no carbon footprint, fuel consumption, or waste production and this technology has the potential to generate clean, cost effective and efficient electrical power without the damaging effects caused by using fossil or nuclear fuels, and other conventional power sources.



Mr. Pickett also stated: "The exterior of the Downdraft Tower is constructed with vertical "wind vanes" that run the entire length of the structure. The Downdraft Tower's vanes capture the prevailing wind and channel it through a separate system of tunnels to turn turbines attached to generators that produce additional electrical power. This "Dual" Renewable Energy feature increases the Tower's production by approximately 30% while stabilizing the structure and actually reducing the construction cost."



The Company also believes that increasing emphasis on green technologies and governmental incentives in the energy industry should have a positive long-term effect on the Company's planned business and the wind energy industry in general.



About Clean Wind Energy, Inc. OTCBB: CWET
Clean Wind Energy, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc, is designing and preparing to develop, and construct large "Downdraft Towers" that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies.

“Oil and natural gas will continue to meet the majority of the world’s growing energy needs for decades to come.”


Point Roberts WA- March 2, 2011– www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specialized in sector research including energy stocks, releases the following CFA commentary from Patrick J. Murphy, featuring American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH).

Patrick J. Murphy is the owner of Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on smallcap stocks.

“Oil and natural gas will continue to meet the majority of the world’s growing energy needs for decades to come.”



Continuing the argument presented in the Company’s “Outlook for Energy – A View to 2030” , ExxonMobil’s assertion delivered at the recent Goldman Sachs Global Energy Conference is based on the expectation that shifts in energy usage and technology will continue to evolve gradually, over decades rather than years, as has been the case historically. While it is undoubtedly true that ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) has a vested interest in the continued dominance of oil and gas as power sources, it’s also true that this forecast is difficult to refute.



The macro-economic trends in support of ExxonMobil’s assertion are easily identified and the far-reaching impact of the BRIC and other developing nations has been discussed ad nauseam, but it is illuminating nevertheless to attempt to think about these trends in terms of specific data points. As one example, the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) estimates that there were approximately 840 motor vehicles per 1,000 U.S. citizens in 2008. While the DOE estimate is 140 vehicles per 1,000 citizens for Brazil, the estimate for India is 13 and the estimate for China is 36 vehicles per 1,000 citizens as of 2008. In terms of the aggregate growth in this ratio for the decade ended 2008, the DOE estimates the U.S. fleet grew by 8% compared to 31% for Brazil, 74% for India, and 300% for China - in 1998, there were approximately 9 vehicles per 1,000 Chinese citizens, and this grew to 36 vehicles by 2008.



Country Vehicles per 1,000 Citizens (2008) Approximate Population Approximate # of Vehicles (2008) Theoretical # of Vehicles Applying U.S. Ratio

Brazil 140 201,000,000 28,140,000 169,041,000

India 13 1,173,000,000 15,249,000 986,493,000

China 36 1,330,000,000 47,880,000 1,118,530,000

United States 841 310,000,000 260,710,000 260,710,000

Total 3,050,000,000 368,085,000 2,534,774,000

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/facts/2010_fotw617.html

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/

Actual vehicle approximations represent the author's estimates





Utilizing the population estimates provided by the CIA Factbook, and assuming no change in the vehicle ratio from 2008 to today, it is likely there are 370 million vehicles in Brazil, India, China, and the United States, which collectively represent about 45% of the world’s 6.8 billion population. If it seems unlikely that the developing world will ever require the same level of motor vehicle dependence that has evolved in the U.S., it is worth noting that Canada’s ratio as of 2008 was 623, with 563 for the Pacific, and 593 for Western Europe. Outside of these regions, in generally lesser developed countries, the ratios fall significantly, likely implying substantial future demand in these areas well: 300 vehicles per 1,000 citizens for Eastern Europe, 132 for Central and South America, 103 for the Middle East, 54 for the Far East and 27 for Africa.



While predicting additions to the global fleet cannot be accomplished with precision, the general trend is clear – there will be hundreds of millions and likely billions of motor vehicles added over the coming decades. Even ignoring all the other ways in which we devour energy, including the increasingly prominent role of natural gas in power generation, it’s hard to imagine the demand for oil and gas decreasing for any meaningful amount of time in the foreseeable future. It’s significantly easier to find data that support the argument that the demand for oil will continue climbing over the long-term, and that developing alternative fuels in quantities sufficient enough to meet growing demand in a manner that competes with oil economically is likely to take decades, not years. This is the view taken not only by ExxonMobil, but also by the DOE, which forecasts that despite the rapid growth of renewable energy sources over the coming years and decades, fossil fuels will still provide 78% of U.S. energy use in 2035.



There are a number of ways to invest in this long-term trend including direct investment, commodity futures, and in the stocks of oil services firms or majors such as ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), BP (NYSE: BP) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX). There is also potential opportunity with independent producers like Chesapeake (NYSE: CHK), Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN), and Southwestern (NYSE: SWN).



For those interested in the potential upside of a junior oil and gas exploration and production company, American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) recently announced increased production and an expectation of net revenue proceeds in February from production at the NOJ26 well located in the Company’s Woodford Shale acreage in northern Oklahoma. The projected initial projection rate is 40-50 barrels per day currently, with an increase to 100 barrels per day anticipated. AAPH has reported that the southern part of the Company’s lease block has room to drill up to 5 horizontal wells, and although these wells can be expensive, as much as $1.75 million per well, the return on investment may be very rapid if production of 500 barrels or more per day is achieved. AAPH also expects there is the potential for up to 25 less expensive vertical wells on this area of the lease block. While continuing to exploit these opportunities throughout 2011, AAPH anticipates a frenzy of activity both in the near and longer term across the Woodford Shale.



Both here in the U.S. and elsewhere, while there may be significant short-term price fluctuations, the likely continued increase in energy demand seems to mandate that fossil fuels will continue to dominate global energy consumption for a long time, and the easiest case to argue is that long-term oil and gas prices must rise. This trend presents opportunity for investment not only in major and independent producers but also among junior exploration and production companies like American Petro-Hunter, which is delivering promising early results from its Woodford Shale acreage.





More info: American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH

The Company is a goal-oriented exploration and production (E&P) Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months. The Company is in production at the Poston Project in Trego County Kansas with new drilling activity and production underway at the North Oklahoma Oil Project. With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer as our goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the hunt for domestic petroleum assets. www.americanpetrohunter.com

Gold Stocks; GOLD BULLION (TSX-V: GBB) INITIATES DRILL PROGRAM ON CASTLE SILVER MINE, GOWGANDA

Vancouver, British Columbia - March 1, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Mr. Frank J. Basa reports: Gold Bullion Development Corp. (CDNX:GBB.V) (Other OTC:GBBFF.PK) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") announces that it has initiated a drill program on its Castle Silver Mine property.
The Company's Castle Silver Mine property, located 85 kilometres northwest of the historic silver camp in Cobalt, Ontario consists of 34 leased mining claims and two licenses of occupation located in Haultain and Nicol Townships, covering approximately 564.4 hectares. The mine has been in operation at various times from 1917 to 1989 and produced a total of 763,127,010 grams of silver from the No. 3 shaft. This included Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd.'s production from 1979 to 1989 which came to 101,024 tonnes milled; 91,421,294 grams silver; 34,597 kilograms cobalt and 10,180 kilograms copper. Operations shut down in 1989 due to low silver prices.
The Company has initiated an orientation IP geophysical grid across the property in order to test its application in identifying silver-cobalt veins, potentially identifying Archean base metal sulphide mineralization which is known to control silver mineralization in certain mines, mapping the stratigraphy of the Nipissing diabase and identifying and mapping location of low-angle faults which are possible significant mineralization indicators.
Additionally, a drill program begun mid-February, 2011 is underway. The program is planned to reach a total of 6000m and is intended to test for continuation of known structures as well as test horizons within and adjacent to the Nipissing diabase sill previously unexplored in the Gowganda area. Historically, exploration in the Gowganda - Elk Lake area has focused on the upper 1/3 of the Nipissing diabase sill and most of the resulting historic production from the Gowganda area has been mined from this horizon. However, an estimated 75% or more of the silver mined from all the silver mines between Gowganda and Silver Centre in South Lorrain south of Cobalt, Ontario - has been mined from outside this horizon.
Compilation of all existing and available information on the property is well underway and will be digitized in 2011 to allow a more thorough analysis of the geology and known mineralization. A great deal of information and historic underground geological information has recently been acquired and is currently being added to the existing database.
Gold Bullion has recently contracted an engineering firm for the development of a limited scope closure plan to allow for the opening of the first level from an adit entrance for sampling and mapping purposes. This will be two-stage process allowing initial access while continuing the permitting for dewatering the mine to allow a re-analysis of the existing workings below the first level.

Gold Bullion Development Corp. is a TSX Venture listed junior natural resource company focusing on the exploration and development of its Granada Gold Property near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and its high grade Castle Silver Mine in Gowganda, Ontario.

Mining news; Adroit Hits 185 Meters Massive Sulphide and Increases Drill Programme on Adroit Resources Inc.'s (TSX-V:ADT) Red Vein Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - March 1, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) - Adroit Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ADT; FRANKFURT:A7V; BERLIN:A7V) - Adroit Hits 185 Meters Massive Sulphide and Increases Drill Programme. Management is pleased to announce that the seventh 617 meter hole, GL 004, of an initial 3,000 meter diamond drill programme has intersected 185 meters of Massive Sulphide in Graphitic Schist on Zone B.
This intersection, together with the drilling programme to date, confirms the exploration approach giving data supporting the model of a cluster of VMS deposits. The massive sulphide intersection does not represent a true deposit width, which is unknown at this time. The first assay results are from samples taken from the first 450 meters of GL 004 and give anomalous values for Copper and Zinc in the Halo area around this massive sulphide intersection and in the first 34 meters of the massive sulphide. A second batch of 114 samples have been taken from the massive sulphide and sent for assaying to the AGAT Laborities, Mississauga, Ontario. These assay results will be published once received and evaluated by the Company's technical team.
In the light of drilling success, the ongoing drill programme has been increased from 3,000 meters to 5,000 meters to test some more of the numerous targets to further extend the understanding of this VMS cluster of deposits.
The massive sulphide mineralization consists essentially of pyrite and is hosted by a graphitic shale interlayered with felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks. The VMS corresponds to a combined EM, MAG, IP and MMI anomaly of which a) only a small portion has been tested by the current programme and b) and of which there are many more untested on the property. Staff will now review/evaluate the results with a view to assess the possibilities to hit an economic deposit within the area. The Company cautions that VMS systems normally contain large quantities of barren or nearly barren pyrite.
The Company plans to continuing to drill Zones A, B and F (with multiple holes in each), within its increased 5,000m drill programme, and, potentially, zones C, D and E following completion of drilling on Zones A, B and F.
The Red Vein 5,936 Ha property is located within the southern part of the Abitibi greenstone belt in the Shining Tree area of northern Ontario and is highly prospective for Copper, Zinc and Gold. The Company's news releases dated December 6 and 20, 2010 refer.
The area has long been an area of intense interest, located in the heart of the exploration triangle of the three large Ontario mining camps of Timmins, (80 km due North), Sudbury, (150 km due South), and Kirkland Lake (75 km Northeast). There are 30 VMS deposits over 200,000 tonnes of massive sulphides within 200Km of the Red Vein property including Kidd Creek in Timmins of 147,880,000 tonnes grading at 2.31% copper, 6.18% zinc and 87 g/t silver and the Horne, H&G Orebodies in Noranda of 53,700,000 tonnes grading at 2.2% copper and 6.10 g/t gold. There are numerous historical copper showings on the property and gold showings abound in the surrounding area. The property is located approximately 10 km north-west of the former Tyranite Gold Mine and 8 km south of the Sothman nickel deposit (see News Release of October 6, 2008).
Doctor Mehmet Taner, Eng., Ph.D. has verified and approved the geological information contained within this news release. Dr. Taner satisfies the requirements of a Qualified Person as defined in the National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).
President's comments: 'As the geological evidence increases, my belief that we have a potential discovery on our hands increases. We are drilling a cluster of VMS deposits and the GL 004 drill hole further confirms this.

Oil and Gas Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Commences Drilling Operations at NOS227 Well, North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ � March 1, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that drilling operations have commenced at the NOS227 Well at the North Oklahoma Project, Payne County Oklahoma.
The well has been designated NOS227 and will be drilled to a planned depth of 4,000 feet. NOS227 will be a vertical well that is a direct offset to the recently completed commercial oil well at the NOJ26 location. The new well location is taking advantage of a favorable oil producing geological trend, and is up dip and to the west offsetting the existing production.
The productive Woodford and Mississippi formations are the primary objectives of the well with secondary potential in the Miesner and Skinner Sands. It is anticipated to take 10 days to reach the total depth (T.D.) after which any prospective oil shows will be tested. A successful Mississippian-Woodford well with comingled production from both formations is estimated to have a 150-250 BPD potential. American Petro-Hunter has a 50% interest in the well.
The NOS227 Well is scheduled to be the last vertical test the Company is planning, as our 2011 development plan calls for horizontal wells in the future. Recent horizontal successes in the Mississippian and Woodford by other E&P companies active in Payne County have provided valuable information regarding the potential of these two prolific formations for horizontal oil and gas potential. The Company will be providing regular updates as data comes in from ongoing field and development operations.
Company President Robert McIntosh states, "We are pleased to be moving forward with our next well in Oklahoma and have embarked on an aggressive 2011 drilling schedule. Delays in commencement at NOS227 were due to almost unprecedented snowfall and related weather issues on the leases throughout the month of February. Now that spring conditions are upon us, we are returning to our scheduled activities and plan on having NOS227 in production, assuming a commercial success, later this month."
About American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH)
The Company is a goal-oriented exploration and production (E&P) Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months. The Company is in production at the Poston Project in Trego County Kansas with new drilling activity and production underway at the North Oklahoma Oil Project. With the achievable target of becoming a 1000 BOE producer as our goal, American Petro-Hunter is actively on the "hunt" for domestic petroleum assets. Visit us at: www.americanpetrohunter.com
