Josh Levine MicroCap Blog Update : Confidence at Three-Year High for Small Firms

New York - December 16, 2010 - The headline looks good yet underlying the relative optimism are the hard realities of tepid job creation, weak customer activity, and mild deflationary pressures. The confidence index for small companies is trending higher, though it's still below pre-recession levels.
Here are the key numbers from The National Federation of Independent Business: NFIB's optimism index increased to 93.2, the highest since December 2007, from an October reading of 91.7. Seven of the index's 10 components rose and three declined. The measure averaged 100.7 during the previous expansion.
The graph gives us a historical perspective, showing a deeply depressed small business community since the start of 2008. Even the latest reading only just reached the three previously lowest points of the past 25 years -- in 1991, 1993, and 2003.
If the U.S. economy is going to accelerate job growth, it requires a big contribution from small companies. Small businesses with up to 500 employees represent more than 99% of all U.S. employers and have created 65% of all new jobs in the past 17 years, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The good news is that small firms are moving in the right direction and there are positive signs for growth. "Plans to hire, make capital outlays and invest in inventories all rose, albeit from historically low levels," said William Dunkelberg, NFIB's chief economist.
The increasing optimism is reflected in rising share prices for small companies. The Russell Microcap Index has risen 30% since Aug. 31, compared with an 18% gain in the S&P 500 Index. And with January approaching, momentum in the broad U.S. economy should spur further activity in smaller stocks.

Energy Stocks News; TAG Oil (TSX-V: TAO) Acquires Offshore Exploration Acreage, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Vancouver, B.C. � December 16, 2010 (Investorideas.com Energy Stocks Newswire) � Canadian listed, New Zealand oil and gas producer TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX-V: TAO), announced today that the Company has completed the acquisition of a 20% interest in offshore exploration Permit PEP 52181, which covers a 42,379-acre area in the main Taranaki oil and gas discovery fairway.

PEP 52181, operated by a subsidiary of Australian-based Roc Oil Limited, is located just 8 km from shore and is in close proximity to existing infrastructure, making commercialization in the event of discovery efficient and cost effective.

The attractive Kaheru Prospect is situated in a successful discovery fairway and in close proximity to production infrastructure.

The Permit, which contains the Kaheru Prospect and numerous other leads, has extensive 2-D and 3-D seismic coverage, and has been identified to have high-impact exploration potential with a good chance for success. Kaheru is a Miocene-aged prospect on the same successful thrust belt play fairway as many significant Taranaki oil and gas fields, including: Rimu, Kauri, Manutahi immediately north, and the Tariki, Ahuroa, Waihapa and Ngaere (�TAWN�) fields further north. Immediately to the west, the large Kupe Gas-Condensate field is now also in full production.
Please link to our site for further information on TAG's Taranaki Basin oil and gas fields.
TAG Oil CEO Garth Johnson commented, �This new acquisition is an excellent addition to our Taranaki Basin prospect portfolio. The Kaheru Prospect brings TAG a significant amount of resource potential, and an opportunity to enter a new permit with a proven international offshore operator. We look forward to working with Roc Oil Limited and the other joint venture partners with a view to advancing Kaheru to the drilling phase.�
TAG is also pleased to report that production testing of the Cheal-BH-1 horizontal well continues, with the well now flowing oil, gas and fracture fluids. The Company anticipates that once all fracture fluids and excess fracture sand have been recovered, a reliable stabilized flow rate will be achieved. �TAG is very encouraged by the testing of the horizontal well thus far, as well as all of the results from workover operations on existing Cheal wells. This has resulted in TAG recently achieving the highest daily oil and gas production volume in Cheal's history.� continued Mr. Johnson.
More information on TAG's oil and gas production can be found on our website.
The Company will recommence drilling at Cheal and Sidewinder in February 2011. The program includes development and step-out drilling, as well as exploration drilling targeting high-impact prospects defined on 3-D seismic, all within the Company's 100%-controlled Taranaki Basin portfolio.
TAG Oil Ltd.
TAG Oil Ltd. is a Canadian-listed company (TSX-V: TAO) with operations in New Zealand. With 100% control over all its core assets, including production infrastructure, TAG is anticipating production growth through development of multiple oil and gas discoveries in the Taranaki Basin and through high-impact exploration drilling on prospects identified over 3,500 sections of land.
In the East Coast Basin, TAG is pursuing the major unconventional resource potential that has been demonstrated in the Waipawa Black Shale and Whangai Shale source-rock formations that are widespread across the Company's acreage. The geological characteristics of these oil-rich, naturally fractured, thermally mature formations compare favorably to fractured shale formations such as the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin and Liassic Shale in the Paris Basin.

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) DRILLS 11.50 m OF 2.09 g/t GOLD AND 382.7 g/t SILVER AT GUADALUPE

December 15, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL and Frankfurt: YAB) is pleased to report the discovery of a new gold/silver zone at the Guadalupe Property located in Zacatecas State, Mexico. Holes 6 and 7 of the recently completed drill program successfully intersected multiple targets. Drilling at Guadalupe was performed by Yale on behalf of its partner Silver American Mining who is currently funding all work on the property.
Drill hole 7 discovered a previously unknown mineralized multiphase breccia with a weighted average of 1.31 g/t gold and 254.1 g/t silver over 18.6 metres including 11.50 metres with a weighted average of 2.09 g/t gold and 382.7 g/t silver. The highest silver and gold grades were returned from separate intervals of 1.3m with 3.26 g/t gold and 1.2m grading 920.0 g/t silver. The new mineralized zone is located approximately 50 metres north of the Santa Rosa Vein and is open in all directions.
Photos of the breccia can be viewed on the Yale Resources website at http://www.yaleresources.com/s/Guadalupe_Photos.asp
Drill hole 6 was located approximately 200 metres east of hole 7 and intersected the Santa Rosa mine workings. A wide zone in the footwall below the workings returned 14.95 metres with a weighted average grade of 0.19 g/t gold and 63.8 g/t silver.
Seven holes were drilled at Guadalupe totaling a combined 2,502.05 metres. Results from holes 1 and 2 were previously released in a news release dated Nov. 16, 2010. Holes 3, 4 and 5, located in the north end of the property, targeted a series of veins with numerous workings. Assays from outcrop and dumps in the area returned several assays grading greater than 200 g/t silver but the holes did not intersect any significant values.
About the Guadalupe Property:

The Guadalupe property contains two historically significant mines - the Santa Rita and San Antonio mines - and is located in one of Mexico�s oldest mining districts, roughly 9 kilometres north of the Fresnillo (Proa�o) Mine, the world's richest underground silver mine, operated by Fresnillo plc. Roughly 11 kilometres to the southwest of the Guadalupe Property is the Juanicipio Joint Venture between MAG Silver Corp. and Fresnillo plc.
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.
To earn a 90% interest Silver America is required to pay Yale US $ 900,000, spend US $ 2,000,000 on exploration expenditures and issue 1,000,000 shares to Yale over four years. Cash payments will be due every six months and will increase to a final payment of US $355,000. Should the earn-in be completed Yale will retain a 10% participating interest in the property as well as a 2% NSR, which can be bought out in entirety for US $ 2,000,000. Yale will act as the operator for the project. The next payment due to Yale is on Dec. 30, 2010.
About Yale Resources:
Yale Resources is an exploration and development company concentrating in northwestern Mexico that is building value through project generation. Yale has three of its seven properties optioned out to value added partners. These agreements combine for minimum commitments of approximately US $1,100,000 of exploration expenditures over the next 12 months. Yale continues to work on its non-optioned properties as well as reviewing new projects with a focus on gold.

Samples from the Guadalupe property were prepared and analyzed by Stewart Labs in their facilities in Mexico and Kamloops, respectively. Samples generally consisted of 1-3 kg of material. Gold and silver analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Samples with greater than 1% copper, lead and/or zinc are re-analyzed using their ore grade analysis. Samples with greater than 100 g/t silver were re-assayed using gravimetric methods.
Ian Foreman, P.Geo., is Yale Resources� Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, for the Guadalupe property. The Guadalupe property is an early stage project with no reported resources that requires additional sampling and geological mapping to fully determine the project�s potential.

On behalf of the Board,
"Ian Foreman"
Ian Foreman, P.Geo.
President

Biotech/Pharma Stocks News; UV Flu Technologies (OTCBB: UVFT) to Finalize Acquisition of Leading Industrial Grade Air Purification Manufacturer

CENTERVILLE, MA � December 15, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - UV Flu Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it is moving forward with plans to acquire a renowned US manufacturer of high quality air purification equipment designed for industrial applications including specialization in the medical and hospitality marketplace.

The final milestone prior to the close of the agreement was the completion of a financial audit, which was successfully concluded last week. A tentative closing date has been targeted for on or around December 30, 2010.
The agreement includes a patented, trademarked product line, with dozens of national distributors and representatives, an extensive customer list, inventory, and all associated manufacturing equipment. The company's sales include an installed base of several thousand units in over 1000 unique facilities nationwide, including over 400 hospitals.
"We are thrilled that the acquisition could close by year-end," said Jack Lennon, President of UV Flu Technologies. "With the acquisition of this Company, our product line will be complemented at the industrial level, while the introduction of our residential product will round-out the consumer end of the retail spectrum. Our current flagship product, the UV-400, can protect indoor spaces of up to 600-900 sq. ft., while the product line we will offer as a result of the new acquisition protects environments regularly ranging from 1000-5000 sq. ft. Additionally, our soon-to-be-introduced residential product will easily protect spaces under 600 sq. ft., providing us with full coverage for most every indoor scenario. We have extensively studied the test results and are satisfied that the HEPA based technology we are acquiring captures in excess of 99.97% of the particulates passing through it, is the finest in the industry, and an excellent fit to our long term goals," said Mr. Lennon.
"Our new acquisition will be operated as a subsidiary of UV Flu Technologies, and will provide a US manufacturing base to aid in the pursuit of government and DoD contract opportunities. We anticipate this added market segment will also lead to additional jobs and overall growth for the Company," said Mr. Lennon. "The enhanced product line will make us increasingly attractive to large US distributors, and increase our visibility within the hospital, hotel and casino marketplace. Upon the close of the transaction we will immediately reveal the identity of the acquisition and introduce our distributors to the entire product line, both domestically, as well as internationally.

Woodford Shale a "world class oil and gas target "- Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH)
Point Roberts WA- December 9, 2010 .www.Investorideas.com, an investor research portal that specializes in sector research including energy stocks, reports on the Woodford Shale play as interest in energy stocks heats up.
The Woodford Shale formation has attracted some of the largest independent oil and gas companies including Devon Energy, XTO Energy, Petrohawk Energy, Southwestern Energy, Marathon Oil, Newfield Exploration and Continental Resources. Chesapeake Energy sold its Woodford position to BP in 2008.
Robert McIntosh, President & C.E.O.of American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB: AAPH) reports, "We are in the Woodford Shale Play, as it is becoming a major oil and gas producing reservoir across the Anadarko Basin, the Cherokee Platform and the Arkoma basin which trend east west across the State. Between 2003 and 2010, over 1,000 vertical and 300 horizontal wells have been drilled in the Woodford. Of these, 1,200 wells have produced 1.4 million barrels of oil and 560 billion cubic feet (Bcf) gas since 2004. The Woodford Shale has first generated the oil that filled many of the old, conventional reservoirs and now it's being exploited as a reservoir in its own right. It is truly becoming a "world class oil and gas target". All the majors are there. Devon is especially active and has just updated its 2010 Cana Project drilling plans where it now expects to drill 100 wells, up from the previously announced 80.
Oklahoma is one of the nation's premier oil-producing states and the Woodford is a unique reservoir that offers tremendous potential for both oil and gas. The key is identifying the oil bearing parts and engineering the horizontal wells to drill along the shale which will, after fracking the oil shale, produce oil in very profitable economic rates. These wells are not inexpensive as we estimate $1.75 to $2.2 million to drill and complete a 1,500 foot lateral. But the reward is huge-as a well may potentially deliver 500 to 1,000 barrels per day which would pay back the capital investment in rapid fashion and allow excellent cash flow for the growth of the Company's future. We feel we have a tremendous lease package that holds many locations for both horizontal and vertical wells and have implemented and planned an active 2011 drilling program."

IP-Oh!�Shifting Tide of Public Offerings

Functional Inspiration: Money and Innovation in the Microsphere

(Investorideas.com newswire) New York, NY - The US IPO market of today bears only a faint resemblance to the roaring 90s, which culminated in the dot-com craze and bursting of the tech bubble in 2000. In recent years the biggest splashes in IPOs were made by such familiar names as Visa (V) and General Motors (GM).

In fact the party moved off-shore this past decade to Asia, where Chinese stock exchanges, including Hong Kong , have raised almost triple the amount of money secured by IPOs across the US in 2010.
Hong Kong reigns as the center for new listings, raising $53 billion in IPOs this year, compared with $42 billion in the US. Mainland exchanges raised $67 billion, according to Dealogic.
Still, the US IPO market should not be written off too quickly. In a Barron's piece this week, Renaissance Capital's chief investment officer points out that this calendar year's releases were up 21% through the end of November.
Renaissance's own float-weighted index tracks new issues for two years following their debut. The index had risen 15.9%, versus 12.1% for the S&P 500—excluding first-day gains.
This year's IPO market is expected to end on a strong note as eight more deals are scheduled for launch this week. If all eight companies manage to successfully go public, the IPO count for the month of December will hit 19 (compared with eight for December 2009) and 153 for the year (compared with 63 in 2009).
Comeback for Microcap IPOs?
Following the dot-com implosion, the US IPO market became quickly dominated by big-bucks institutional players and small companies were forced to go public mostly via reverse mergers—a far less prestigious avenue. The traditional IPO route has been closed off to nearly all microcap-sized companies.
Now a US House of Representatives panel is considering easing rules on small company IPOs, which would enable smaller companies to go public with fewer costs.
Federal law allows companies to conduct securities offerings of $5 million or less without filing a full registration statement with the SEC. The proposal, which hasn't been introduced yet as legislation, would raise the dollar limit under the exemption, known as 'Reg A', to $30 million.
The venture capital industry rightly argues the current exemption isn't useful to small companies because the current dollar limit is too low to justify the costs of going public. Naturally, VCs wants to see the change because venture capital funds are dying for liquidity. There are only so many opportunities to sell a venture-level company to a larger suitor; a pick-up in small IPOs would provide VCs additional ways to cash out.
Importantly, by raising the cap to $30 million, it would entice small private firms to seriously consider a 'Reg A' IPO as an alternative to a reverse merger or some form of venture funding. It will also spur new interest in the microsphere and act as a much-needed catalyst for investments in innovation and job creation.
I'll be watching develops closely next year when Congress may weigh this legislation, which will give a shot to the microcap segment if it makes it through the sausage machine.

Defense Stocks; Security Threat from Counterfeit Documents

Point Roberts, WA - December 14 , 2010 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal covering multiple stock sectors including defense and security stocks, presents CFA commentary, Security Threat from Counterfeit Documents, featuring Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB:VSUL) and other key players.

Security Threat from Counterfeit Documents
Lisa Springer, CFA, Equity research analyst
Defense and Security Stocks in this Article; L3 Communications (NYSE:LLL), L1 Identity Solutions (NYSE:ID) , FLIR Systems (NASDAQ:FLIR) , American Science & Engineering (NASDAQ:ASEI) ,OSI Systems (NASDAQ:OSIS), Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB:VSUL)
Counterfeit IDs and currencies can pose as grave a threat to US border security as drug runners and terrorists. When setting up operations in the US, these criminals need to appear legitimate. The way they do this is with counterfeit documents.
Counterfeit IDs are usually created from stolen identities. Identity theft is now the Number 1 concern of US consumers, according to the Federal Trade Commission. . Recent statistics indicate a new victim of this crime every 79 seconds. An independent Gartner study estimated 15 million victims of identity theft and set odds of becoming a victim at 1 in 20.
The costs of identity theft are staggering - estimated at $50 billion annually for US businesses and consumers. Consumers spend more than $5 billion each year trying to undo the damage. The average victim of identity theft spends 40 hours cleaning up the financial mess and suffers $1,200 in unreimbursed financial losses.
Approximately 50% of world trade in illegal identities occurs in the US. An identitystolenfrom a US citizen can be purchased for under $20. Millions of illegal immigrants acquire identities this way, including some criminals. Mexican drug gangs regularly use fake documents to cross borders. A worst case scenario detailed in a PBS Frontline story found terrorists being specifically trained to use counterfeit documents to cross borders. The use of counterfeit documents has become a routine part of the training of Al Qaeda operatives .
A closely related threat comes from counterfeit currency. Most counterfeiting is done by sophisticated criminal gangs, but there is also a considerable body of evidence linking the most dangerous counterfeits, called "supernotes" to hostile foreign governments. Highly accurate $100 and $50 supernotes first appeared on the scene in the late 1980s. During the Bush administration, the US formally charged North Korea with counterfeiting the dollar, a claim since echoed by the Obama administration. The economic threat from supernotes was so pervasive that it triggered the first major redesign of US paper currency in decades.
Fraud detection has evolved into a $76 billion worldwide market attracting both large companies like L3 Communications (NYSE:LLL), L1 Identity Solutions (NYSE:ID) and FLIR Systems (NASDAQ:FLIR) and smaller niche players like American Science & Engineering (NASDAQ:ASEI) and OSI Systems (NASDAQ:OSIS). Most authentication technologies rely on sensor cameras, key cards and scanners to collect and verify data.
An emerging player in this space, Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL) , has developed and begun commercializing a patent-pending technology that provides fast, accurate authentication and has low production costs. Spectral Pattern Matching (SPM) technology begins with the premise that all dyes, chemicals and natural pigments possess a unique spectral signature invisible to the human eye but as absolutely unique as DNA or fingerprints. The technology uses a proprietary micro-miniature sensor to illuminate a subject multiple times with changing combinations of colored light. It detects the object’s unique spectral pattern and then matches it against existing databases. SPM can be easily integrated into hand-held or fixed devices and used to instantly authenticate access documents such as passports, driver’s licenses and facility badges as well as financial instruments such as currencies and checks. The technology can even be used to identify illicit substances and authenticate branded products like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors.
To help roll out SPM technology, Visualant recently acquired TransTech, an established national distributor of authentication products serving security and law enforcement markets. TransTech has a 15 year history, a national reputation and a distributor base of over 500 dealers, resellers and integrators. Since acquiring TransTech in June, Visualant has made considerable progress prepping for the market launch of its technology. The company completed its first demonstration unit, which was used to showcase SPM technology at industry trade shows in Atlanta and New York and at meetings in Japan. In addition, Visualant renewed a maintenance contract for staff ID cards with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in October and won a contract with a major North American defense contractor in November. The contract is to provide upgrades to the employee badge printing system of this Fortune 50 Company and is valued at $450,000.
Through TransTech, the company has already identified a number of lucrative launch opportunities for its technology. One such opportunity is the $4.1 billion law enforcement market for detecting illegal drugs such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. An immense $11.4 billion market opportunity is found in authenticating branded products. Verifying IDs is already a $4.2 billion market and annual sales of systems that detect counterfeit currencies and checks currently exceed $3.5 billion.
In addition to its authentication capabilities, the Visualant SPM technology provides a tool for diagnostics. There is a shift in color that we perceive as humans in medical, agricultural and environmental diagnostics. Visualant intends to license its SPM technology for applications in these non-core areas. With its low cost and form factor flexibility, the SPM technology could provide significant advantages and utility as a diagnostic tool.
Over the next 18 to 24 months, Visualant (OTCBB: VSUL) plans to grow combined revenues from $10 million to a range of $35 million to $50 million by acquiring other high quality authentication product companies complimentary to TransTech. Visualant anticipates building critical mass and a footprint quickly by closing 1-2 such acquisitions per year.

IP-Oh!–Shifting Tide of Public Offerings
By Josh Levine -- December 10, 2010

The US IPO market of today bears only a faint resemblance to the roaring 90s, which culminated in the dot-com craze and bursting of the tech bubble in 2000. In recent years the biggest splashes in IPOs were made by such familiar names as Visa (V) and General Motors (GM).

In fact the party moved off-shore this past decade to Asia, where Chinese stock exchanges, including Hong Kong , have raised almost triple the amount of money secured by IPOs across the US in 2010.

Hong Kong reigns as the center for new listings, raising $53 billion in IPOs this year, compared with $42 billion in the US. Mainland exchanges raised $67 billion, according to Dealogic.

This year's IPO market is expected to end on a strong note as eight more deals are scheduled for launch this week. If all eight companies manage to successfully go public, the IPO count for the month of December will hit 19 (compared with eight for December 2009) and 153 for the year (compared with 63 in 2009).

Comeback for Microcap IPOs?

Following the dot-com implosion, the US IPO market became quickly dominated by big-bucks institutional players and small companies were forced to go public mostly via reverse mergers—a far less prestigious avenue. The traditional IPO route has been closed off to nearly all microcap-sized companies.

Now a US House of Representatives panel is considering easing rules on small company IPOs, which would enable smaller companies to go public with fewer costs.

Federal law allows companies to conduct securities offerings of $5 million or less without filing a full registration statement with the SEC. The proposal, which hasn't been introduced yet as legislation, would raise the dollar limit under the exemption, known as 'Reg A', to $30 million.

The venture capital industry rightly argues the current exemption isn't useful to small companies because the current dollar limit is too low to justify the costs of going public. Naturally, VCs wants to see the change because venture capital funds are dying for liquidity. There are only so many opportunities to sell a venture-level company to a larger suitor; a pick-up in small IPOs would provide VCs additional ways to cash out.

Importantly, by raising the cap to $30 million, it would entice small private firms to seriously consider a 'Reg A' IPO as an alternative to a reverse merger or some form of venture funding. It will also spur new interest in the microsphere and act as a much-needed catalyst for investments in innovation and job creation.

I'll be watching develops closely next year when Congress may weigh this legislation, which will give a shot to the microcap segment if it makes it through the sausage machine.

About the Changyun Coal Project
Located within the Bijie coal fields, Guizhou Province, the Changyun coal mine covers an area of 2.0954 sq. km with valid mining permits for a 150,000 MTPY coal mining operation, which may be expanded to 300,000 - 500,000 MTPY. Local historical reports (non-compliant with NI 43-101) state that coal seams within the mine area are highly altered and would produce a low ash, low to medium sulphur (average 0.23%), and low-volatile (7-8% volatile matter) product, with high gross calorific value that ranges from 6400 to 7200 Kcal/kg. The thermal grade coal is suitable for power plant use. A ready market for production exists with the nearby power plants and other end users within Guizhou province.
In addition to the mine, Changyun has recently been provided with preferential rights to explore and develop a 20 sq. km of highly prospective exploration land surrounding the mine.
About Lucky Strike:
Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. is a Canada-based exploration stage company. The Company is engaged in the process of exploring and/or developing coal properties in Guizhou province in China. The Company also has property in Yreka, British Columbia, Canada. The Changyun coal project is a former past producing mine and is located some 25 km northeast of Bijie City in Guizhou province, approximately two hours north by air from Hong Kong. The permitted mine covers a total area of 2.0954 sq. km and is surrounded by approximately 20 sq. km of highly prospective exploration area, where available geological data supports the potential presence of significant coal resources of high quality Anthracite coal within the area. The local area has well established infrastructure for the Changyun project to resume production and coal buyers to pick up coal FOB at the mine site.

About Yale Resources:
Yale Resources is an exploration and development company concentrating in northwestern Mexico that is building value through project generation. Yale has three of its seven properties optioned out to value added partners. These agreements combine for minimum commitments of approximately US $1,100,000 of exploration expenditures over the next 12 months. Yale continues to work on its non-optioned properties as well as reviewing new projects with a focus on gold.

Ian Foreman, P.Geo., is Yale Resources' Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Tenoriba property is an early stage project with no reported resources that requires additional sampling and geological mapping to fully determine the project's potential.
All of the samples mentioned in this release were prepared and analyzed by Inspectorate at their labs in Hermosillo and Vancouver and generally consisted of 2-4 kg of material. Gold analyses were performed by 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Silver and base metals were analyzed as part of a multi-element ICP package using an aqua regia digestion; samples with more than 100 g/t silver, 1% copper, 1% lead and/or 1% zinc (over limit) were re-analyzed using Inspectorate's 'ore grade' detection limits.
