Tri-Star Gold, a subsidiary of Tri-Star Holdings, Inc. (TSHL.PK), is focused on acquiring and developing properties to produce platinum, gold, silver, and copper. Tri-Star has a number of properties located in Nevada, Arizona, and Idaho. Three of their claims contain a copper and precious metal vein system that measures about 100 feet wide and 4200 feet long. This vein system has previously produced high-grade copper, gold, and silver ore. The company’s estimates on the potential recoverable metals at its Blue Jay claims are quite substantial.

A portion of the Blue Jay claims have a long mining history. Starting in the 1800s, mining at the Blue Jay Copper Mine began. Consisting of a six stamp mill, several underground adits, shafts, and open pits, the site was periodically mined up until the 1930s. A significant find occurred in 1950 when Consolidated Mining and Smelting (CM&S) of

US Geothermal is an energy company currently engaged in the development of geothermal power plants in Raft River, Idaho, and San Emidio, Nevada. The company uses geothermal energy to produce electricity. The Raft River project was recently awarded a $9 million energy grant from the United States Department of Energy.

Geothermal energy is a prolific source of clean, renewable energy, and the plants that harness it can be run emission-free 24 hours a day. It is for this reason, that it is a rapidly expanding sector of energy, valued as a $1.5 billion industry. Demand for sustainable, environmentally-friendly energy sources is on the rise, as the people everywhere become increasingly conscious of the long-term problems associated with fossil-fuel consumption.

Today, US Geothermal announced that it would be holding a public conference call to discuss its second quarter financial results, which are scheduled for filing on November 10th,

Tri-Star Gold is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and development of both precious and noble metals. Through its resource properties in the states of Nevada, Arizona, and Idaho, the company has produced platinum, gold, silver, and copper. In addition to its existing claims, Tri-Star has plans for further acquisitions that will strengthen its portfolio.

The first, and perhaps most prominent of Tri-Star’s properties is known as the “Lucky Linda claim”, a 160 acre gold mine located in Lincoln County, Nevada. Said to contain deposits of gold, silver, and platinum, the Lucky Linda claim is currently under analysis for the purpose of locating the highest concentrations of mineral-rich ore. While still in the permitting process, under state law, the company is allowed to extract and process 900 tons of material, which will provide a clearer picture of expected production levels.

Tri-Star’s five other properties are split between Salome Valley, Arizona,

The wild instability in current markets has me thinking...

"Washington Mutual Becomes the Biggest Bank to Fail in U.S. History," blares a headline.

"Bailout Talks Implode During Day of Chaos," screams another.

That can't possibly be good for the markets, right?  You'd have to think that the Dow and the Select Sector SPDRS Financials ETF (XLF) will be taking another nosedive today unless the government gets it together. In a major league show of brinksmanship, Paulson et al announced the big bailout assuming (correctly) that if you don't follow through and actually fund the plan, that it could exacerbate the situation.  I mean if you make the announcement, at that point, you can hardly NOT fund the bailout, right?

Crazy times.

And our job is to tell you what it means for you as an index and ETF investor.  Does it mean get ready to
