Gold and Copper: NGEx Announces Updates on South American and Eritrean Drill Programs NGQ.to, TNR.v, NSU.to, AUY, ABX, LUN.to, BVN, GG, SSRI, SLW,
0 comments Posted by andre at 8:04 AM"Lukas Lundin looks like missing from our Lithium and REE fever: we can hardly call it an "exposure" via his holdings in Canada Zinc Metals CZX.v after investing in TNR Gold TNR.v"
"We expect Lukas Lundin to storm the junior space back with his troops. He was out of the picture for a while and put his exploration ambitions on hold consolidating Canadian Gold Hunters CGH.to, Suramina Resources and Sanu Resources. He has grown up fast first in size of the controlled assets and status of Major League by Lundin Mining and then was hit with problems followed - he was busy saving them after the crash. But now we have a few signs of his team coming back into the junior M&A market space and we would like to speculate whether it could lead to any catalyst in juniors we are following."

With this Global Exploration vehicle of Lukas Lundin group it is easier to tell where they do not have projects than where they have. NGEx Resources presented in South and North Americas and in Africa.
In Argentina Company has a few J/V deals and properties with TNR Gold TNR.v. Results from Jose Maria will be important for Batidero property under option from TNR Gold.
NGEx has recently raised capital and the most important news is that Lukas Lundin has increased his position in the company via his family investment vehicle Zebra Holdings. We are always following smart money and companies where insiders are holding a significant stake and are increasing their positions.
"TNR Gold investor acquires five million more units
2009-12-23 18:44 ET - News Release
Mr. Kirill Klip reports
TNR EARLY WARNING REPORT
Kirill Klip has acquired through a private placement, directly or indirectly, five million units at a price of 30 cents per unit of TNR Gold Corp. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles Mr. Klip to purchase an additional common share at a price of 40 cents, up to and including Dec. 17, 2011. The common shares of TNR are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Assuming full exercise of the warrants, Mr. Klip would hold a 22.46-per-cent interest in TNR.
As stated in Stockwatch on Feb 25, 2009, Mr. Klip owned, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of 14,250,500 common shares, 975,000 warrants and 950,000 stock options, and a $150,000 principal amount debenture and associated warrants. Assuming conversion of the $150,000 principal amount debenture and exercise of the associated warrants, together with Mr. Klip's warrants and stock options, TNR had 85,486,983 common shares outstanding of which Mr. Klip would exercise control or direction of a 25.94-per-cent interest."

Now with recent news in Lithium sector Argentina promise the hot Summer in that part of the world, but do not discount solid Gold and Copper and we are looking for the results from announced exploration programs.

NGEx Announces Updates on South American and Eritrean Drill Programs
Press Release Source: NGEx Resources Inc. On Tuesday January 19, 2010, 3:35 pm EST
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 19, 2010) - NGEx Resources Inc. (TSX:NGQ - News; 'NGEx' or the 'Company') is pleased to report on its drill programs currently underway in Chile and Eritrea. The Company's 2010 drill program at its Los Helados project located in Region III, Chile started on January 14, 2010 at site I (to see photo please click on: http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AswKZuVE5V_pYRj3k5PxmUqtcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTE2YTJoZXNrBHBvcwMzBHNlYwNuZXdzYXJzdGFydARzbGsDaHR0cG1lZGlhM21h/SIG=11ipio592/**http%3A//media3.marketwire.com/docs/ngq119a.jpg). The planned program will consist of approximately 3,800 meters in 6 or 7 holes. Drilling is planned to follow up on encouraging results obtained in DDH 04 drilled in 2009 which intersected 762 meters of 0.43% copper and 0.22 g/t gold, including 343 meters of 0.58% copper and 0.21 g/t gold. The drilling will target a 1 kilometre long chargeability anomaly that lies to the north of previous drilling. Outcrops above the anomaly contain potassic alteration, stockwork veining and local copper sulphides. The drill program is expected to take approximately two months. Los Helados is part of the Company's joint venture with the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC). JOGMEC holds a 40% participating interest in Los Helados.
Drilling at the Company's nearby Josemaria project concluded in mid-December, 2009. Seven diamond drill holes totalling 2,253 meters tested possible extensions of the Josemaria resource. Results are expected toward the end of January, 2010.
The Company also has a drill program underway in western Eritrea that is targeting volcanogenic massive sulphide targets on its Mogoraib and Kerkebeit licenses. Drilling will test additional targets at the Koken Prospect where initial drilling in 2008 intersected encouraging results; possible extensions to the Hambok deposit identified by a gradient IP survey conducted in November, 2009 (to see map please click on: http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=ApC35xY5MGLkxqdeh1rIoUGtcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTE2OWh2ZWsxBHBvcwMxBHNlYwNuZXdzYXJ0Ym9keQRzbGsDaHR0cG1lZGlhM21h/SIG=11idv5u0k/**http%3A//media3.marketwire.com/docs/ngq119b.jpg).
Drilling is also underway to test a new mineralized gossan known as the Aradaib prospect that was identified by prospecting (to see photo please click on: http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Ai1af2wHCCu6h2wvpT.s5watcq9_;_ylu=X3oDMTE2M2xsajZuBHBvcwMyBHNlYwNuZXdzYXJ0Ym9keQRzbGsDaHR0cG1lZGlhM21h/SIG=11idniojr/**http%3A//media3.marketwire.com/docs/ngq119c.jpg). Initial work identified 350m of discontinuous strike exposure of the gossan. Of twelve rock chip samples taken, ten returned anomalous gold values (100 to 350ppb) with two assaying 4.1 and 8.9gpt, five had Cu values greater than 1000ppm, and two had Pb greater than 1000ppm. Zn is moderately anomalous in all of them.

Lukas Lundin Global exploration play: Canadian Gold Hunter to buy Sanu Resources. CGH.to, SNU.v, LUN.to, TNR.v, MAI.v, HUI, XAU, CDNX
0 comments Posted by andre at 9:00 AMFollow the money: we always add - Smart Money. Lukas Lundin is building his global Exploration Play. We have our Junior Mining Economics in action. We have wrote before about our expectations of Sanu Resources SNU.v to be taken out by Canadian Gold Hunters CGH.to - our list of Juniors Top Picks 2009 is getting smaller! It is time to buy assets at still distressed valuations, later with Gold over 1000 USD/oz, Silver above 15 USD/oz and Copper solidly above USD 2.0/lb will be the time to strike J/V deals and sell in the Seller's market, when everybody will be thinking: how on earth we can get this kind of valuations before. But it is the future and it is not for certain - that is why Lukas Lundin is buying again at cents per dollar in our second chance of Junior Mining Investment cycle. We follow his touch and legacy. Our other juniors from the Top Picks 2009 are in the game with bold moves into Gold, Lithium and REE.

Please see the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Hambok Deposit, dated January 23, 2009 and filed at www.sedar.com for details. Hambok is located 15 kilometres from the Bisha deposit being developed by Nevsun Resources and the Eritrean Government. Additional projects include carbonate-hosted copper/lead/zinc exploration in the Republic of Congo; greenstone-hosted gold exploration in Burkina Faso; as well as volcanogenic massive sulphide copper/zinc exploration in Eritrea.
- Canadian Gold Hunter holds a large, diversified portfolio of exploration projects in Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru. Projects range from grass roots to advanced resource definition stage, including the Josemaria copper/gold porphyry project with a 43-101 inferred resource of 460 million tonnes grading 0.39% copper and 0.30 g/t gold at a 0.3% TCu cut-off, containing 3.9 billion pounds of copper and 4.4 million ounces of gold. (Please see news release dated December 5, 2007 for complete information). Canadian Gold Hunter's local South American exploration team has a strong track record of success including the discovery of the Veladero gold deposit, now owned by Barrick Gold, as well as the initial recognition and development of the Bajo de la Alumbrera gold mine, now owned by Gold Corp., Xstrata and Yamana.
- Combining the two companies will create one of the strongest exploration vehicles in the industry; worldwide exploration with the backing of the Lundin Group.
In connection with the proposed business combination, Dundee Securities Corporation provided financial advice and a fairness opinion to the special committee of the board of directors of Sanu.
