Any idea what company this is referencing?
From Tobin Smith, ChangeWave
Since July 2004, the company's main mine has produced pulverized coal injection (PCI) and coking coal products -- both key components in the steel manufacturing process.
And fiscal 2006 is off to a promising start. Its Q1 fiscal 2006 results (ending June 30) described progress on several fronts, including a boost in coal production and the more favorable restructuring of its current financial arrangements.
Some Q1 Financial and Operating Highlights (all dollar amounts are Canadian):
* Revenues from coal sales were $13.47 million, representing 180,307 tons of PCI metallurgical coal product at an average price of $74.73 per ton.
* Produced 206,267 tons of PCI product at a cash cost of $61.74 per ton. Cost of operations increased as a result of additional fuel surcharges and higher-than-anticipated strip ratios for mining activities in May.
* Operating profit for the quarter was $450,000 and positive cash flows of $980,000 were realized from mining activities.
Notably, after the end of Q1 (July 2005), it completed a private placement for 1.25 million common shares at $4 per share, netting $5 million. These funds will allow the company to restructure its current debt and to provide working capital for ongoing capital projects.
But most importantly, they just inked a contract to sell 665,000 tons, ending in 2006 -- and this is just part of a 2 million-ton deal with its major Chinese customer.
Overall, we're looking at sales of 1.2 million tons in 2005 and approximately 3.5 million tons in 2006. But here's the big difference: The stuff in 2005 is going for $50 a ton; and the stuff in 2006 is going for $110-$120 a ton!
The world's energy scene is currently very favorable for a coal company like this one. You gotta love it when the supply/demand equation gets out of whack, my friend. It means big gains for their bottom line and big investing profits for us!
Today, this stock is sold over-the-counter. Soon they'll apply for listing on one of the regular exchanges -- likely the AMEX. That'll give a big boost to the stock's exposure and share price. Plus, this company is gearing up to play the China card in a really big way.
We've got it pegged as a $12 stock in 12 to 14 months. Right now, you can load up on the stock around $4. It's a microcap -- it's not some sure thing. But the odds are squarely in our favor for a 200%+ gain from here.
