Alert re Three New Listings:
1) SGX Resources – SXR – $0.29 – A spin out from San Gold, SGX’s properties consist of all the Timmins properties that were in San Gold. More importantly to TFSA Letter is the 50% interest (San Gold 50%) in the old Black Pearl Tully gold deposit which is now called Timmins North by SGX. There is a 43-101 report out that says about 100,000 ounces gold. However, if you read further, there is a potential for 1 – 2 million ounces of 7 – 8 gm/t Au. The latest drilling results are filling in some of the blanks in the shallow resources. More info to come in next TFSA Letter.
2) NSGold – NSX- $0.58 – has a gold property in Nova Scotia with high gold values over narrow widths that is interesting. But, again more importantly, is the recent acquistion of an intriguing silver deposit that could contain multi-millions of ounces silver. An additional signal on this one is the board of directors with two former high level executives of the George Soros organization. More information to come in next TFSA Letter. (Update – Large cross of over 2 million shares on May 6th and then over 2 million traded on May 9th… would guess that warrants at $0.50 were being exercised)
3) RJK Explorations – RJX.A- $0.16 – one that has been followed in the background for some time now. With the recent takeover bid by New Gold for Richfield Ventures, the Blackwater Gold District will become one of the more interesting area plays this year. RJK has a really good land position contiguous to the Richfield ground and RJK has a tentative exploration budget for their ground of $2 million. All the other juniors in the camp will be active this year as well. More information to come in next TFSA Letter.
This is just an ALERT for now as some of the stocks have already started to move. Next TFSA Letter will be out in a week or so with more details.
RJK Explorations Ltd. (RJX.A) has just created a Presentation on the Blackwater Gold District and an updated Claim Map.

UPDATE – Blackwater Gold District
Multi-million ounce gold deposit
Potential for over 5 million ounces
BACKGROUND: In September of 2009, Richfield Ventures (RVC) ignited a staking rush on the Nechako Plateau, south of Vanderhoof, B.C., when they announced a drill intersection of 207m of 1.06 g/t Au and 5 g/t Ag. Since then, Richfield has continued to announce similar long intersections of better than 1 g.t Au and have expanded the deposit considerably. For further detailed information on Richfield, go to their web site at: http://www.richfieldventures.ca/s/Home.asp
An initial research report by GMP Securities was released which indicated that the Blackwater deposit is a multi-million ounce deposit, could potentially contain over 5 million ounces Au with a grade of better than 1 g/t in an open pit situation. (The GMP Securities does not include any value for the 15 million+ ounces of silver in the deposit)
Seven junior companies managed to acquire large claim groups surrounding the RVC discovery and have been conducting exploration on their properties in preparation for drilling programs this year.
===========================================================
Here is a list of the 7 junior exploration companies:
RJK Explorations Ltd. – RJX.A – $0.15 (listed at $0.125) (website)
RJK acquired two large claim groups contiguous on both the western and eastern boundaries of the Richfield Blackwater claims. RJK has completed a heli-borne survey of both claim groups and will receive the data interpretation the third week of February. RJK recently acquired the Dave2 claim which lies along the western boundary of RVC’s claims and does already have a target area on it which was determined by airborne survey and ground sampling work done in 2010. RJK will use the airborne data to determine drill permit areas and conduct some ground sampling those areas to determine drill locations. RJK will consider drilling the target area in the newly acquired Dave2 claim. RJK may conduct a flow-through private placement shortly as RJK will begin a drill program on its Dempster Lake gold project south-west of Pickle Lake in approximately two weeks.
Troymet Exploration – TYE – $0.235 (listed at $0.24) (website)
TYE had conducted an IP survey in 2010 which identified large anomalies associated with gold and silver in outcrop samples and has now mobilized a drill to the property. TYE also plans to expand the IP survey with geophysical crews mobilizing to the site in early February to begin conducting specialized geochemical surveys in order to identify further drill targets. TYE recently completed a private placement for just over $2 million.
Gold Reach Resources – GRV – $0.64 (listed at $0.46) (website)
GRV collected over 3,000 soil samples and conducted 80 line kilometres of 3-D induced polarization geophysical and geological mapping over the northwest corner of the property. This work has identified multiple drill target areas and drill permits have been submitted for approval. GRV recently completed private placements for approximately $2.7 million.
Parlane Resource – PPP – $0.175 (listed at $0.18) (website)
PPP just completed a private placement for $1 million. PPP just recently acquired their claim group to the north of the Richfield claims and intends to fly an airborne geophysical survey of the property later this spring.
Greencastle Resources – VGN – $0.235 (listed at $0.235) (website)
VGN has conducted a heli-borne survey of their claim block and is currently reviewing the data to determine drill targets for the 2011 season. VGN has current assets of $6 million ($0.13 per share) and receives oil royalties of approximately $110,000 per month.
Geo Minerals – GM – $0.08 (listed at $0.085) (website)
GM completed a phase 1 exploration program comprising geological mapping, prospecting, grids and soil sampling in 2010. The Company is proposing to complete additional prospecting, geophysics and further detailed geochemical surveys in order to define drill targets. GM recently acquired two additional claims, one of which has a large magnetic intrusion found in a previous airborne survey.
Amarc Resources – AHR – $0.41 (website)
Amarc has a large land position far to the southwestern edge of the Blackwater Gold District. AHR has several larger projects they are concentrating on at this time, Newton and Mount Polley. Amarc is part of the Hunter Dickenson group and if this area heats up, they will probably devote more attention to their claim group.

Info from the original listing here in May, 2009
Note – GLG stock was rolled back 1 new for 4 old in November/2009 to facilitate a listing of the stock on NASDAQ
GLG Life Tech Corporation – GLG (TSX) – $1.85
GLG Life Tech Corporation stock is trading around $1.85, so it is not what I would traditionally list in the TFSA Investment Letter as a low-priced stock. However, I believe that GLG could be one of those companies that would become accepted in the stock market as a world leader in their sector and generate substantial capital gains over the next few years.
What is their sector? Sweetener
GLG is a world leader in the production of high quality stevia, a zero-calorie, natural sweetener. Their vertically integrated operations include stevia seed breeding, propagation, growth and harvest, extraction, refining and formulation.
Stevia is a natural, calorie free sugar substitute, derived from the leaves of the stevia plant scientifically known as Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni. Indigenous to Paraguay, stevia has been used to sweeten food and beverages for over 200 years. It includes no additional chemicals and provides a healthy, 100% natural solution for consumers. Stevia is stable at high temperatures (thus safe for cooking purposes) and has been shown in clinical trials to have many health benefits. Stevia is safe for diabetics, has been shown to help prevent tooth decay, and has even been recommended by the World Health Organization for use as a treatment for hypertension. By replacing sugar with stevia, consumers could potentially decrease caloric intake, helping to reduce obesity and other associated health risks.
Currently, stevia is approved as a food additive in many countries such as China, Japan, Paraguay, Korea, Brazil, Israel, Malaysia and Taiwan. In Paraguay, it has been used for over 200 years to sweeten food and beverages. In other parts of the world, stevia is very widely used and even now accounts for over 40% of the sweetener market in Japan.
The most important event in the recent history of stevia as a sweetener came on December 17, 2008 when the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of high quality stevia extract in food and beverages.
Rebiana is a stevia-based sweetener jointly developed by international food and agricultural supplier Cargill and leading beverage giant Coca Cola. GLG is the leading producer of rebiana, an all-natural, zero-calorie stevia extract made with 97-per-cent pure rebaudioside A.
GLG recently announced a $40.5 million order from Cargill for Truvia, a tabletop sweetener. GLG has just announced that it has partnered with Zevia which has recently launched a reformulation of its natural soda lines which now utilize GLG rebiana stevia extract. Zevia has been recognized by SPINS, a division of AC Nielson for retail performance, as the #1 selling diet soda in the all natural food category as well as the #3 best selling product over all carbonated beverages in natural foods.
You should be aware that there is another competitor to GLG, called Pure Circle. I think the potential market for stevia – will allow both companies to rapidly expand for a number of years before they start to crowd each other. Pure Circle is listed on the AIM, under the symbol PURE.
Wellington West Capital Markets analyst Robert Winslow rates the shares “buy.” He targets the stock at $3.50. Extract output is forecast to rise 400 per cent by fiscal 2010. Earnings are forecast at 25 cents a share in 2011. The company lost ten cents a share in fiscal 2008.
There are approximately 78.6 million shares outstanding, with 74.5% held by insiders, associates and institutions:
1. 18.2% Skyland International Investment Management Ltd. (Peoples Republic of China)
2. 12.9% HZ Health Management Company Limited (Marshall Islands)
3. 10.3% Pacific Marketing Consultants Ltd.

This alert is going out because on Friday, January 27th, an initial research report by GMP Securities was released which recommended Richfield and indicated that the Blackwater deposit is a multi-million ounce deposit, could potentially contain over 5 million ounces Au with a grade of better than 1 g/t in an open pit situation and that RVC was a speculative buy with a target price of $11.05. (Note: GMP Securities does not include any value for the 15 million plus ounces of silver in the deposit)
This alert is not to highlight RVC – it is to alert you to the fact that there are six junior companies that managed to acquire large claim groups surrounding the RVC discovery and have been conducting exploration on their properties in preparation for drilling programs this year.
===========================================================

Two stocks… one Silver, the other Gold
For trading period of December 2009 – January 2010
Here are two stocks for the TFSA Letter that are highlighted for the trading period from December to January based on the current strength in precious metals:
RJK Explorations Ltd. – RJX.A – $0.07
RJK just announced that a potential silver mine acquisition is getting closer, depending on the closing of a production financing offer made to the target company. The acquisition target – Holmer Gold Mines Inc. – has a joint-venture with GeoMinera S.A., the Cuban state mining company, on a high grade silver deposit in Cuba containing between 6 – 10 million ounces with the potential to significantly increase that resource. Taken from a news release by Holmer in May, 2009….
“A recently completed independent technical study (N43-101) confirmed that the silver mine is economically robust. The cash flow has been structured to repay any debt financing within 14 months of starting production (30 months total) at a silver price of US$12 per ounce. Holmer’s net cash flow ranges from $12 million @ US$12 per ounce to $22 million @ US $18 per ounce. There is a distinct possibility that there will be a substantial increase in revenue as a result of 30% higher ore grade being realized during the actual mining process as well as the extension of the mine life through development of additional known zones nearby.”
If this funding completes and the acquisition by RJK proceeds, then the stock price will not be anywhere near its current level. Pure speculation with a huge potential reward.
Golden Goose Resources – GGR – $0.40
Golden Goose is currently drilling their Magino gold deposit to increase the resource and to raise the gold grade. Magino has a 43-101 resource of over 1 million ounces gold grading better than 6 gm/ton. Previous drilling from a number of years ago hinted at higher grade intersections off the main deposit. In addition, current drilling will test the volcanics, where sampling has shown a much higher grade. If the volcanics prove to be prospective, current resource numbers would expand considerably.
Golden Goose is trading at a stock price level that values those gold ounces in the ground at only $20 per ounce. Most recent mining reports indicate that gold in the ground is generally valued at $80 per ounce, so GGR is vastly undervalued on that basis.
There are currently three mills in the general area, with Richmont’s operating Island Gold Mine and mill only 1 km from the property.
