Wall Street News Alert: HMSO, Wednesday's Hot Stock to Watch! May 30, 2007
Market Wire, May, 2007
Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: Hemis Corporation (OTCBB: HMSO), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE: IAG), Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC) and Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM).
There is more exciting news out of Hemis Corporation (OTCBB: HMSO) for investors. The company, an international resource company with several advanced stage exploration properties in Mexico and a project in Cook Inlet, Alaska, has issued a press release announcing that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Aspen Exploration Corporation's Anchor Point gold project in the Cook Inlet area of Alaska, which includes all of Aspen's interests in maps, aeromagnetic surveys and geological information developed by Aspen in the Cook Inlet as well as rights to Offshore Prospecting Permit (OPP) applications.
This could be great news! Under the terms of the agreement, Aspen was paid $50,000 at signing and will be paid this amount on each anniversary of the agreement in order to maintain Hemis' interest in the project. Aspen is entitled to a 5% production royalty, which may be taken in kind or in cash as Aspen prefers.
Aspen geologists, led by R. V. Bailey, Chairman of Aspen's board, carried out exploration for gold in Alaska in the 1980s. Activities at Anchor Point included flying an aeromagnetic survey, beach sampling and the filing of OPPs with the State of Alaska. Uncertainties in the permitting process and a declining price of gold resulted in Aspen putting the project on hold.
Wall Street News Alert first initiated coverage of the company on March 29th, when it announced that it has signed an Earn-In agreement with Goldcorp Inc. through its Mexican subsidiary Glamis Exploration S.A. de C.V ("Goldcorp") and Corex Gold Corp. Goldcorp is the world's second largest gold company.
Wall Street News Alert is continuing to place Aggressive Investors on alert to monitor the progress of Hemis Corp! Dr. Douglas Oliver, Chief Geologist for Hemis, explains the rationale for exploration at Anchor Point: 'Gold has been known from the beaches around Cook Inlet for over a century. The gold is often associated with the mineral magnetite, which can be identified by geophysical surveys. Our review of the existing aeromag data suggests that the potential exists for off-shore gold deposits in the Anchor Point area.'
Dr. Oliver acknowledges that working in Cook Inlet, which has some of Earth's highest tides, will present some logistical challenges. However, he states that it also has some advantages: 'In Alaska you are always fighting the lack of infrastructure. However, Cook Inlet is located close to the main population center and the offshore nature of this project eliminates the need to build roads. The accessibility of this project was a key factor in our decision to pursue this.'
The stock closed Tuesday at Ninety-Five cents a share.
