.... end quotes ... of course the money has long since been paid here, so posting this news is just a formality ... for those who don't know, Alamos is the placee, the money was at that time necessary to cover the property payment to pdg/Kennecott, and National had been unable to raise it, they'd just had a placement fizzle for lack of interest in the blah times of October last, this is what led directly to the merger [which had been promised a year previously anyway]
National lagging Alamos again this morning, .39 against .50 ... should be .425 when aas is at .50, according to the merger ratio ... Jackjc has shown up now on the new Alamos thread - #board-1446

Did you try clicking on those sedarfiles urls, can you load them [while not logged into stockwatch]? ... i haven't logged out yet, so don't know if that works or not
Yeah, it's immaterial to me where ngt/aas go for the next ninety days really, it's just that this week i had ngt entered in Al's weekly penny race -g- .... i'm loaded up on it pretty much, and no matter what it recovers to before March it will see higher levels a little later imho .... the degree to which new Alamos will be an excellent no-expiry call option on gold is not recognised, i think .... today they were trading in sync, five-to-six ratio more or less, and at this level a person is paying roughly usd11/oz for the 1.2m ounces of high-grade easy mining at Estrella, while getting the other 2.0m ounces of Mulatos and the entire rest of Salamandra for free .... plus Chester Millar, that's a deal and a half .... over the weekend i hope to put together a post on share structure, figure out all the cash coming in on full dilution, that sort of thing .... but, time to drink beer now, friday chores doncha know .... cheers

Ever check out Pennaluna? ... http://www.penntrade.com i think ... quite a bit of discussion on it on various juniors threads, well-regarded as a way for US residents to play canuck shares .... not registered in all US states though, this is a problem for some ... those who are able and who have tried it among alternatives, tend to speak highly of it
Without limit orders you lose percentage on each side of the trade, unless maybe you could watch close for your chosen bid price to be the ask, or chosen ask to be the bid, but that would require constant attention and no small amount of luck ... i think the beauty to the juniors is that you don't have to watch them much, they are plays on fundamentals and seasonality, far too illiquid to trade most days no matter where they go, so caring about intermediate ticks is a waste of effort ... i try to buy almost entirely on the bid when it's slow, and sell on the ask when it's running with volume, using limit orders put in outside of market hours, often in the evening, partly for personal convenience, partly because intra-day additions to the depth attract more attention [my theory anyway, the latter] .... without limit orders though, man what an uphill battle
Borders just generally cause loss through friction, it's more expensive for us here to trade US than domestic ... for a lot i use TDW, it's the biggest house in the country and a good example, they charge the 'same' commission for both sides, only in the US they charge usd instead of loonies, so we're paying about 52% more right there .... almost the only thing for which i use my usd account with them lately, is in changing loonies to pesos, since they give quite a good exchange on cdn-usd, i just get a transfer out of the usd account, to whatever cambio gives the best on usd-peso [and they were not so bad themselves on usd-peso once this spring, next time i'm going to get a quote from them]
There are lots of co-listings down there, but because of this phenomenon they tend to be somewhat less undervalued than they otherwise would be, imho ..... that's just general impression .... one that's co-listed and recently changed down there from the bulletin board to the Amex, is mng.amex, we know it here as mae.to, Miramar .... good outfit, i don't hold any at the moment but am maybe on the verge of putting in a stinker bid .... using a limit order, of course -g- .... yes, if i were you i'd 1. look for a better broker, and 2. spend more energy looking for opportunity in the US, until the better broker comes along
National filed its 20F of course, you will have seen that upthread .... hard to say what CM's intentions are regarding a co-listing, i should ask .... it's a very good idea at some point for every successful canuck outfit, costs money though, and takes management time, so doing it prematurely could detract from building the fundamentals
Quite the ramp in the NazDow efforts eh ..... too steep to last, election- and fed-related, i betcha they end up lower on the week ... and maybe the yellow dog too, but that doesn't matter for now .... imho ... what matters is december to april, roughly from solstice to equinox, give or take a week or three

Ah, that makes it harder when you can't use limit orders, and hang around at second-best or third-best bid, waiting for somebody to whack it ... on that day you should have been able to get ngt for usd.20, maybe a shade less ... same day i bought a few at cdn.30, as my bids below that weren't getting filled .... won't matter much in the end ... at that price a person is paying cdn.705 for the new Alamos, which won't trade much under one loonie, imho, especially as uncertainties get ironed out one by one .... things could go wrong, of course, that's always true, but at least the number of their possibilities is getting reduced
Dislike any of those? - nope .... Goldcorp we know here as g.to, vigourous promotion but also a competent and lucky company behind it, and that US listing helps a lot .... Elisabeth Andrews has some thoughts on it, on the SI Miramar thread, what she says is true imho but also irrelevant to its immediate prospects for shareprice - once you get really good promo going it feeds itself, snowballs
The Kinross, i have some ... did a bunch of stupid short-term trading in it recently, pretty much just a wash, now have a few tucked away, and not watching it much .... i still don't see why they wanted tvx, they must see in it something the rest of the world doesn't .... overall they've been competent though, so i defer to their judgment
Lots of political risk with the Greystar .. Colombia <shiver> ... lots of gold too though, and a professional approach ... you'll be aware of the connections between them and Kinross, eh ... also with tvx i think ... here's a stockwatch bulletin from june you might find of interest -

In the News
Douglas Casey, writing in the June 7 International Speculator, says Greystar Resources is a buy at 31 cents preconsolidation ($1.55 postrollback) because it has excellent upside. This is the first time Mr. Casey has commented on the company since Stockwatch began tracking his recommendations in January, 1994. He notes Greystar is seeking a financing partner for its Angostura asset.
Greystar has a market cap of $15.19-million. Its deposit has, at 0.5 gram per tonne cutoff, an indicated and inferred 96.2 million tonnes at 1.6 g/t along with 5.8 g/t Ag. Mr. Casey says the large, low-grade deposit contains 4.9 million ounces of gold and 17.9 million ounces of silver. In this issue, the inveterate gold bug pulls out all the stops in his enthusiasm for what he calls the inevitable gold-stock bull run. For those who neglected recent urgings to "back up the truck," he says the bull market has just begun. Mr. Casey says he expects the bull to run for several years. Mr. Casey adds, "By the time it's over every cat or dog that has 'mining' or 'resources' or 'gold' in its name will be selling for $5 or $10 or $50 a share -- much the same way anything with a 'dot-com' or 'net' in its name recently did."

http://stockcharts.com/gallery?ngt.v ... not a bad entry around here imho ... still might come some out in the .20s but i wouldn't bet on it .... last year ngt started slowly getting more healthy into november, then early in december began full recovery .... and it won't get ripe till spring imho - my main interest right now is to see it close at .40 or so tomorrow so i can win Al's weekly contest on SI -g-, but really it won't reach sellable maturity for months
September was pretty harsh, insipid bump up from summer trough and then another tankola ... partly uncertainty of the management issues now being resolved, but also the PoG wasn't helping much, most all of the juniors have tanked back considerable ... a blahh time
I did some rough numbers, figured at .30 ngt and .45 aas the combined market caps were 17-18 millions US ... this was fully diluted and of course cash comes in on full dilution, so really net net it's around 15-16 millions, maybe a shade less .. no matter, take usd18m and divide by the 3m ounces of Mulatos, you get a current market value for each ounce of 6 bucks US ... that is pretty cheap imho, especially when in the bargain you get somebody like Chester Millar, who will get financing if anybody can anywhere ...... Placer and Kennecott spent 30 millions US developing this property, now they've got the tax loss and we've got the mine ... sure hope we're the smart ones -g- .... cheers

ALAMOS, NATIONAL GOLD REACH AGREEMENT TO MERGER
Alamos Minerals and National Gold have entered into a letter agreement to merge the two companies by way of a statutory plan of arrangement to create a new company, Alamos Gold Corp. Alamos and National each plan to set a date for meeting of their respective shareholders within the next 30 days.
The merger will combine the party's respective interests to create efficiencies and a more effective approach to advancing the development of the large Mulatos gold deposit in Sonora, Mexico. The merger will yield benefits to the shareholders of the new company by providing a greater asset base and capitalization, facilitating access to capital markets, reducing overhead, eliminating duplication of administrative expenses, and creating a broader trading market with the potential for greater liquidity.
The board of directors of Alamos Gold will consist of five members, three from Alamos and two from National. Nominated to the new board will be Chester Millar, John McCluskey and Steve Stine as nominees of Alamos, and James McDonald and Richard Hughes will be the nominees of National. The senior officers of Alamos Gold will be Chester Millar, chairman and president, John McCluskey, vice-president and chief executive officer, and Steve Stine, vice-president and chief operating officer.
Under the terms of the letter agreement, shareholders of Alamos will receive one common share of Alamos Gold for every two common shares of Alamos held and shareholders of National will receive one common share of Alamos Gold for every 2.352 common shares of National held. The parties have engaged Robert McKnight, an independent valuator, to provide a fairness opinion. All valid rights to acquire common shares of Alamos or National will be replaced by comparable convertible securities of Alamos Gold on an adjusted basis.
The completion of the merger will be subject to the certain conditions including: completion of due diligence reviews before Nov. 22, 2002; acceptance of the merger by the requisite legal and regulatory bodies having jurisdiction; completion of the fairness opinion; and receipt of shareholder approval.
It is expected that the merger will be completed before March 15, 2003.

MERGER DISCUSSIONS UNDERWAY - ALAMOS PROVIDES $675,000 LOAN T ...
Alamos Minerals and National Gold have entered into discussions to merge the two companies. The parties have agreed to retain an independent chartered business evaluator accredited by governing regulatory bodies to conduct an independent evaluation of the merger.
It is expected that a merger will create economic efficiencies for the development of the Salamandra property in Sonora, Mexico, as well as facilitate financing for the project on more favourable terms.
Alamos has provided a $675,000 loan to National Gold by way of a one-year convertible note with interest payable at 1 per cent per month. The note can be converted at any time into common shares of National Gold at a conversion price of 29 cents per share, and is redeemable at National Gold's option on 30 days notice. The purpose of the loan is to meet the terms called for in an agreement wherein National Gold is purchasing the Salamandra property in Mexico. Alamos has the right to appoint three directors to the board of National Gold upon conversion of the loan into shares.
Alamos and National have met the $1,525,000 payment due on the property on Oct. 17, 2001.
Alamos and National Gold have further agreed that Alamos has completed the property development expenditure obligations and the preparticipation program described in their joint venture agreement. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Alamos is earning a 50-per-cent interest in the Salamandra property.

There's always been a plan to eventually list in the US, from my first contact with this outfit over a year ago ... one thing filing the 20F does, is make it no longer necessary to include the boilerplate 'this news release not for dissemination to subjects of the US according to the Gold Diggers of 1933 act', or whatever ... getting listed on the otc-bb is simply a matter of attracting a group of market makers, they file the necessary papers, i think there is little cost to the company involved, if they keep up their filings ... could be wrong on that though, the 'exchange' may levy charges on its own
20Fs can be very useful reference documents, they tend to contain the entire company history up to the point of filing ... i haven't read National's yet, as i know the whole story by heart ... here's edgar's new search page, ngt is easy to find, just search with 'National Gold' - http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm

Got a double on the warrants this morning -ggg- ... paper profits only of course, and no one so far is bringing up the bid, so the gain could vanish in a heartbeat, but it is encouraging ... National and X-Cal remain my favourite juniors, both have metal in the ground for sure, and lots of blue sky left, both have financing pressures holding them back, both give excellent leverage to PoG ... i value a share of each at roughly the same [after considering the ngt/aas deal], and today they are trading neck and neck, how about that
Bought some more Western wtc this morning ... i've been watching it closely since it filled the late June gap-up there ... the other mid-May gap-up is not a big deal, won't be filled soon if ever imho ... i never bought any until after that anyway ... so stupid, in Jan-Feb or so i had wtc very high up on the shortlist at times, never did anything about it then
'be your sidekick', lol .... i'm not that comfortable being so prominent ... more of a freelance guerrilla than a general .... there are some fine minds on SD II, some tender egos at times but overall good reading ... you must be doing something right

marcos... yes, yes... National Gold, two things - one, I hear that the Mulatos properties might even be better than was once thought - and two, National Gold is apparently on the acquisition trail. So holding this one LT might not be such a bad idea - I don't have any yet, I don't particularly care for joint ventures - but the cash flow from a producing mine plus the potential of growth through a little M&A activity might make for an excellent speculation.
...about Strictly Drilling... the thread is still going strong - ticking like a Timex, even after 15,000 posts - I do wonder if it'll take off over here - although I haven't tried real hard. If it dies, c'est la vie... I'll just be your sidekick instead. :)

Boo -g- ... held any ngt since then, Frank? .... i let some traders go, haven't reloaded yet, sort of expect extended weakness here, not so cheap maybe, not too far below this level, still it may be some time before it breaks back well above this, imho .. but that's on the common, which has all the pressure of recent financings coming free-trading ... i sure like those warrants though, niftiest little things going under a dime, i've been picking them up, got another 28k today .... takes two of them and 55 cents to buy one share of common until 21 June of next year .... chances seem to me quite high that National prints the round loonie figure by then, possibly in September if/when the PoG tries 330 again, and if/when Matter and Millar resolve some details ... so at 1.00 for the common, there's an intrinsic value of .225 for each warrant ... thing like that would likely get a speculation premium added to it as well, at certain points of market optimism, maybe eh
Haven't kept up with your Strictly Drilling II thread for weeks, no time in summer ... soon though, it'll be too hot to go outside -g- ... cheers

Post 3 in honour of three days of trading above a million shares a day ... how about that, 3.3m traded this week already ... when i was buying ngt in the fall 40k was a big day, most trades went off at the bid, you could get shares being second or even third bid in line
Clearly there is promo behind it now, helped a lot to give Canaccord that 500k in warrants ... price of doing business, if they can help you get your shareprice up to where you can finance for more development funds with less dilution, you're better off ..... and people seem to like the whole idea of dancin' one more round with Chester Millar ... the Gata folks are hot for National now, it is said ...... last week i sold some to knock back my acb, on Monday i bought them back, just decided it was too early ... there is a lot more risk in it now than there was at lower levels, but i think they'll make it, everything has been rolling well so far anyway, and room for payoff is still quite large if/when they make a mine at Salamandra .... did you buy back in? ... haven't followed your thread on SI lately ... cheers

News Release
Mr. Chester Millar of Alamos Minerals reports
Drilling is under way in the high-grade Estrella pit of the Mulatos deposit, 220 kilometres east of Hermosillo in the state of Sonora, Mexico. The drilling program is intended to accurately define near-surface gold mineralization of higher grade than previously published resources.
The Estrella zone is the higher grade core of the Mulatos deposit, and contains 1.16 million ounces of measured and indicated gold within 11.5 million tonnes grading 3.16 grams per tonne at a two-gram cutoff. The Mulatos deposit hosts a 3.4 million ounce gold resource within 68.8 million tonnes at a 0.8-gram cutoff.
The resource was defined on the basis of 511 drill holes and 994 samples from underground workings.
The current drilling program, targeting two adjoining areas, will comprise up to 126 vertical holes varying in depth from 18 to 40 metres. The holes will be drilled on a grid of 12-metre spacing, and subsequently increased to six-metre spacing as results warrant. A track mounted air percussion drill rig is being used. Samples for assay will be split on site. Half of each split will be shipped to the Bondar Clegg laboratory in Hermosillo for initial preparation. The samples will then be forwarded to the Bondar Clegg laboratory in Vancouver, B.C., for fire assay.
Previous drilling in the Estrella zone identified an area of near-surface ore grade material. Closer spaced drilling in this area is required to accurately estimate the amount of contained gold that will be mined and stacked on a test leach pad. A bulk heap leach test is expected to follow the drilling program as part of a comprehensive feasibility study. Alamos is in the process of filing a permit application to mine, crush and heap leach 50,000 tons of ore.
Mulatos is one of the claim areas within the 15,000-hectare Salamandra property. The claims are owned by National Gold Corporation under an agreement with Tendoramex SA de CV. Alamos can earn a 50-per-cent interest in the property under an agreement reported in Stockwatch on Oct. 17. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
