I haven't posted here before, but here is a microcap (DLOV) with deposits of Zeolite, Kaolin, CaCarb, and to a lesser degree oil and forest products. Charlie Maxwell announcement last week increasing company visibility. biz.yahoo.com Initial coring samples funded by Tecumseh completed, and will probably match historical corings, which were very favorable. Management is focused on moneterizing assets and making moves that reflect progress IMO. Opinions appreciated. charts: stockcharts.com[l,a]waclyyay[pb50,200!b13!f][vc60][iUa12,26,9!Ll14]&pref=G stockcharts.com[l,a]waclyyay[pb50,200!b13!f][vc60][iUa12,26,9!Lp14,3,3]&pref=G From the annual report: The Company intends to expand its oil and gas production base during the coming fiscal year. This expansion will be "controlled" in nature in that the Company intends to apply specific screening guidelines to all prospective drilling and / or acquisition projects it evaluates. By so doing, the Company believes that it will be able to control the risks associated with its goal of expanding its operations in a high price environment. During the fiscal year the Company was able to shift the majority of the required capital outlays required for its mineral properties to its operating partners. These outlays include but are not limited to lease and mining claim fees as well as operational and development costs. Overall these costs exceeded $400,000 for the period. The Company's three (3) billion ton industrial mineral holdings represent a significant but yet untapped revenue source. The Company entered into agreements with Tecumseh Professional Associates (TPA) that call for TPA to assume the roll of mine site operator for both its calcium carbonate and kaolin deposits located in New Mexico. Because of its economic potential, TPA has focused its efforts on the Kaolin property. In preparation of the commercialization of the kaolin, TPA funded a confirmation core drilling program on the deposit. The results available to date from these efforts have confirmed the presence of sufficient quantities of commercial quality kaolin to proceed with the next steps leading to the construction of, or otherwise securing access to a processing facility. Plant construction feasibility evaluations as well as other required efforts are currently underway to put the Kaolin deposit into production. The plans are initially to develop the kaolin to service the needs of the paint and paper markets. These products will be marketed under the trademark "Sierra Kaolin(TM)". With respect to the Company's calcium carbonate deposit, efforts have been limited to extracting and preparing product to service the local road base and ground cover markets. Residential construction plans in the area indicate that there will be an increased demand for these products over the next several years. The Company has been able to establish itself as a supplier of quality stone for these purposes and markets its products under the trade name "Ore Grande Gold (TM)". In addition to these markets, the domestic cement market has renewed interest in the Company's calcium carbonate holdings due to the tight supply of available product. During the coming fiscal year the Company and TPA plan to continue expanding product deliveries to primary stone markets and seeking supply arrangements with regional cement producers. The Company has continued its efforts to introduce its zeolite based products to various emerging markets. During fiscal year 2005, the Company continued to market its "ReNugen(TM) " zeolite based product to the wastewater treatment industry. Initial test markets include states located in the Mid-Atlantic and Upper Mid-West regions. The sales to the test application sites are designed to develop a solid record of the product's performance characteristics prior to undertaking an expanded marketing program. In addition to the efforts in the above segment, the Company has supplied zeolitic material for certain government sponsored tests to address the mitigation of various pollutants from the emissions of coal-fired power plants. The results of this testing have not yet been reported. However, should the test prove successful this application will represent a major potential for the Company's zeolite mineral. In an effort to open various potential markets, the Company has utilized the services of third party consultants. As these markets develop it is anticipated that these consultants will play a significant role in the early deployment of the Company's mineral based products.
