Up until now investors, analysts and newsletter writers have relied on the price performance of the commodities themselves (such as gold, silver, crude oil, etc.), the Reuters CRB Commodity Index or the HUI, XAU, GDM or CDNX indices to determine the health, performance and trends in commodities.

Fortunately, for all concerned, a new index has been introduced that provides a much more all-encompassing mix of companies associated with a wide variety of commodity-related products. It is called the Commodity Companies Index (CCI).

Unlike the large-cap centric HUI, XAU and GDM indices and the nano-cap centric and less commodity-oriented CDNX index, the CCI is broadly diversified across a wide range of commodities and company formats. The index consists of 35 commodity-related companies with associated warrants of at least 24 months duration that trade on the …

Sunergy, Inc. is a production oriented junior mining company focused on the evaluation, acquisition, exploration, planned operation and advancement of gold/silver/diamond development. The company controls 100% of the 150 SQ. Km. Nyinahin mining concession with a full prospecting license. The concession is surrounded by several operating mines and is adjacent to Newmont Mining’s property.

The Ofin River flows through the eastern portion of the concession and there are numerous artisan pits ready for testing and evaluation for near term production. The Ofin River is known for good alluvial gold production. Artisans usually recover about 30% of the available gold through primitive hand methods, leaving 60-70% to be recovered by modern mechanical operations.

A preliminary survey by Geodita Resources LTD, Ghana indicates that the Nyinahin Concession has significant potential for lode gold mineralization and for recovery of alluvial gold. There are 3 major anomalous zones: Owusbukurom anomaly in the center Ntoboroso anomaly

Most people think of warrants as being associated primarily with micro/nano cap i.e. junior gold and silver mining companies but that is not entirely the case. Of the 35 companies offering warrants of 24 or more months duration (of which there are 47 in total) 6 are large-cap commodity based companies (2 gold mining companies; 2 royalty companies; 1 oil and gas company; and 1 molybdenum miner). Below is a description of each of these companies and the performance of their stock and associated warrants week-ending July 10th.

The greatest economic realignment since Genghis Kahn took over Eurasia’s trade routes is continuing apace. The west remains mired in an assets contraction of its own making, and the east is refocused on channeling its growth engines into domestic consumption. The resource sector, which is our focus and which has been governed by those growth engines for a decade and half, is indicating at least the expectation of continuing gains in the east. That does not mean we ignore what is going on the developed west, plus Japan.

Most of the planned bad news on the US banking system is now on the table or at least anticipated, in some form. The stress test requirements for US banks at $75 billion of new capital required are workable, though heavily dilutive. There are legitimate doubts that this will actually be sufficient given …

Extraordinary Times Present Rare Opportunities

The 2008 once-in-a-lifetime general stock market meltdown brought panic and forced liquidation to all market sectors, and in particular pummeled junior mining share prices by 80 – 90% or more, creating once-in-a-lifetime values for discerning investors. During this monumental sell-off, shares of junior miners that had already succeeded in “building” a valuable, commercially viable asset (mineral deposit or even a new mine) were generally decimated to the same extent as shares of juniors that did not have a commercial deposit or even a significant discovery. Companies that had a solid foundation for development, production and growth were unceremoniously “lumped in” with those more numerous mining juniors that had little more than hopes centered on grass roots exploration “prospects”. As a result of this indiscriminate selling, extraordinary opportunities emerged and, slowly but surely, the market …
