This was sent to lefmike12 on the above link.
Email I got from Mr. Tait. The very last paragraph is very important...
Thank you for your note and your investment in First Uranium.
I will answer your questions using disclosure from our Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) documents for our quarters ending June 2009, September 2009 and December 2009..
In our disclosure for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as shown in the following paragraph, I agree with you that we did write that we believed that our expected cash flow and cash on hand would be sufficient to complete the current capital projects at both operations. Our cash resources, however, we're only $123 million, not $180 million as you indicated in your e-mail. We also cautioned readers that changes may be required in the coming twelve months.
Management believes that cash resources of $123.0 million available at June 30, 2009 and the cash forecasted to be generated from the sale of gold and uranium at both of its operations, together with the Facility from Simmer & Jack, will provide sufficient funding to complete the current capital projects at the two operations. Economic and industry conditions over the past twelve months have required several adjustments to the Corporation's capital expenditure programs and changes may be required in the coming year.
Three months later, in our disclosure for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we disclosed an update on the 'To be spent' capital comparing where we were in our capital program on September 30 with June 30. The current Capital Projects amount 'to be spent' at the Ezulwini Mine did not change much during that quarter (from $26 million to $23 million
NEXT
In our disclosure for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, at MWS the reduction in the 'To be spent' was only $46 million ($240 million less $194 million), where the spent amount increased by $66 million ($233 million less $$167 million). The reason for this was explained underneath the table of 'Cash flows for the six months..' where we wrote 'The higher cash consumption from operating activities in 2010 YTD was primarily attributable to the increased mine activities, but as yet limited production at the Ezulwini Mine'. In other words, although production was improving at the Ezulwini Mine it was below expectations and not contributing as much to cash flow as planned.
NEXT
Financial Condition
The Corporation's financial condition has been severely impacted by the following recent events.
The Ezulwini Mine became fully operational early in calendar year 2009. As the year progressed, it became apparent that the mine was not building up gold and uranium production from underground nearly as fast as planned. The Corporation's requirement to raise capital to fund both the Ezulwini Mine's operating losses and the remaining capital expenditure program at Mine Waste Solutions ("MWS") became increasingly critical during the latter part of Q3 2010 and into Q4 2010. The Corporation was actively engaged in exploring additional financing options and in January 2010 management was preparing to recommend one of several well-advanced financing options to the Board for their approval
NEXT ---
Outlook
Liquidity
In an effort to limit its funding requirements, the Corporation has revised the Ezulwini Mine plan and the production schedule at MWS and also curtailed future development expenditures as part of a company-wide program to conserve capital. Management's key priorities now are to resolve the permitting issue as quickly as possible, consider strategic alternatives for financing and the immediate restructuring of the operations. The Corporation has been actively engaged in discussions with respect to alternative financing arrangements and is assessing various financing alternatives, however, the terms of these alternatives are likely to be more onerous than the previous financing options.
VERY IMPORTANT>>>>>
Also in the disclosure for the quarter ended December 30, 2009, we wrote what we were doing estimate that we need either $50 million on the 'go slow' plan or $100 million if we choose an accelerated plan to complete our third gold plant module and tailing deposition site. So we do not need $150 million as you assumed. The Corporation has been actively assessing various financing alternatives, however, as of yet we not provide any assurance that a transaction will be consummated within the short time frame required to fund the Corporation's immediate cash requirements, which is why there is a substantial discount of the share price.

The last time there were 20 new highs to one new low was October 2007.
No one needs to remind us what happened next!
Opportunities are made up easier than losses.

Rogoff Says China Crisis May Trigger Regional Slump
By Aki Ito and Patrick Rial
Feb. 24 (Bloomberg) -- China's economic growth will plunge to as low as 2 percent following the collapse of a "debt- fueled bubble" within 10 years, sparking a regional recession, according to Harvard University Professor Kenneth Rogoff.
"You're not going to go a decade without having a bump in the business cycle," Rogoff, former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, said in an interview in Tokyo yesterday. "We would learn just how important China is when that happens. It would cause a recession everywhere surrounding" the country, including Japan and South Korea, and be "horrible" for Latin American commodity exporters, he said.
China, set to surpass Japan as the second-largest economy this year, has helped pull the world out of its deepest postwar slump. Record lending, soaring property values and accelerating economic growth prompted the government to begin retracting stimulus measures implemented during the global recession.
"Their response to the latest financial crisis clearly raised the risk that they have a debt-fueled bubble in the economy," said Rogoff, who in 2008 predicted the failure of big American banks.
In 2008, China cut interest rates, started rolling out a 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) spending package and scrapped quotas limiting lending by banks to counter slumping exports.
'Best Bet'
While Rogoff said he isn't sure what will cause China's bubble to pop, he said land is "the best bet" as it is "the most common source" of crises. Real estate values in Shanghai and Beijing have "taken a departure from reality," said the economist, co-author of "This Time is Different," a 2009 book that charts the history of financial calamities in 66 countries.
A collapse would depress output gains to 2 to 3 percent, a "very painful" period which would persist for about a year and a half, Rogoff said. The slowdown won't lead to a Japan- like "lost decade," he added. In a speech earlier yesterday, he said China will do "very well this century."
China, the world's fastest-growing major economy, expanded 10.7 percent from a year earlier last quarter. The World Bank forecasts a 9 percent expansion in 2010.
China may provide more than a third of global growth in this year, according to Nomura Holdings Inc., Japan's biggest broker. The country's policy makers aim for a minimum of 8 percent growth annually to create jobs and avoid social unrest.
Migrant Laborers
The global financial crisis left 20 million Chinese migrant laborers unemployed and more than 7 million college graduates seeking work by March last year. In February 2009, a clash between police and about 1,000 protesting workers from a textile factory in Sichuan province injured six demonstrators, rights group Chinese Human Rights Defenders reported.
World exporters are increasingly relying on China as consumers in the U.S. and Europe retrench.
Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. are adding capacity in China, which last year overtook the U.S. as the biggest car market. Rio Tinto Group's sales to China overtook those to North America and Europe in 2009, reaching 24.3 percent of the total from 18.8 percent a year earlier, the mining company said this month.
Chinese policy makers are trying to cool lending that helped property prices in 70 cities climb at the fastest pace in 21 months in January. The government aims to reduce new loans to 7.5 trillion yuan this year from a record 9.59 trillion yuan in 2009. The People's Bank of China raised the proportion of deposits that lenders must set aside as reserves twice this year to cool the economy.
"If there's a this-time-is-different story in the world right now, it's China," Rogoff said in the speech at a forum hosted by CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, a unit of Credit Agricole SA, France's largest retail bank.
People say China "won't have a financial crisis because there's central planning, because there's a high savings rate, because there's a large pool of labor, blah blah," he added. "I say of course China will have a financial crisis one day."

Afternoon all,
It's been a while since my last post, hope all's well in good ol SA.
What is the general consensus on Afgri?
They came out with a very decent trading statement and we should see EPS of 45c per share for the first 6 months.
I tucked into a few shares at the 590c level yesterday.
They have an interesting chart with some heavy resistance at 600c. Using the lows of June 2009, they are in a rising channel that looks to either cause an upward/downward breakout within the next week or so. Results are out next week and we could see a 20c interim dividend. Could this be the catalyst to push the price firmly over the 600c mark?
Be interested to know what are the thoughts on this one?

Todays SENS statement says HEPS for the 6 months ending 31 January 2010 is expected to be up 20-30%.
Can anyone tell us more about this company(other than the info on its website etc.)and why it is so successful?
Opportunities are made up easier than losses.

Once there was a fisherman, each day he went to the sea, caught his batch went home, fed his family and prospered in life.
Just living a normal life
He tought other small fisherman his trade and they followed quickly learning and they all fished for a day , ate for a lifetime..
Then there was his neighbour, he went BIG, bought a brandnew boat, new gear and very proud made off to sea to launch
He quickly got into deep water, rough seas and didn't know how to manage, he died a slow death with water overpowering his luxurious boat....and his rich mates who jumped aboard for a quick fishing spree making them rich..
Moral of the story - don't think too big, as the BIG stockmarket sea will quickly overpower you
No matter how rich, or how experienced u are u should trust your gutfeel and knowledge (this guy with the boat didn't, he though his wealth and his ego would prove him a better man than the small fisherman)ooh and being rich don't make you knowledgable..u might have just been lucky in your life.
Now let this be a lesson to all traders, identify yourself as one of the fisherman and you will identify your destiny....go big without experience/knowledge go bust, go small and learn while u go along and be fed for a lifetime..as your Capital/profit won't dry up, my 2/3 Cash margin will feed me when things get nasty...freeze them for later usage as they say as it can even be used as bait when new rally starts (in fish season)
Stope being greedy and making off other's systems, if yours don't work..
Just a thought

CBH announced that their selling of their shares in SOV is now completed.
Clearly their selling was done off market. Targeting fund managers it kept the big buyers away from the market.
That explains why there was so little market interest in SOV.
Watch these chickens fly.

Can anyone comment on what the best way would be to increase your trading knowledge? There seems to be quite a few people/organisations there offering various sorts of courses etc.
Has anyone done any courses that was valuable to them?

Footprints in South Africa
This is a film about South Africa and the community of South Africa. The film is filmed in eight communities of South Africa, includes eight business advertising, provides "blockbuster entertainment" and tells the story of success of our beloved nation.
The film "Footprints in South Africa," is filmed over a period of eight months and begins Pre Production in February 2010 with closing of the film by end September 2010. Two months will be allocated to editing and marketing of the film for the launch of the first premier in November 2010 with other preimiers being launched in January 2011, March 2011 and May 2011.
The film enscapulates the struggles, the challenges, the ambitions and the "local" stories of everyday South Africans. The film includes eight ACTS ( and thirty two (32) scenes.
The film "Fooprints in South Africa," is filmed in year 2010 but is shot for the year 2025. The year 2025 will perhaps tell a "new story" of South African's as well as their perceptions about local communities, local people, local "ideas" and local "Ubuntu teachings."
This document is open to participants, fans, ministers, community leaders, celebrities, "pioneers", teenagers and billionaires. The film is 150 minutes and tells a "short" story of the role South Africa plays in the global diasopra of the world. The estimated distribution of the film "Footprints in South Africa," is one billion people-post production plus five years marketing and distribution. (Shelf life.)
The film includes stories of the rich, the poor, the intermediate class and the "super rich." The film includes interviews, advertising, "dreamy moments" of our nation and stories from our forefathers.
It would probably be impossible to produce a feature length film to flow as if a story was being told from the year 2025. "Back to the future" a film that jumps time frames to show the discovies and destruction of man was a comedy that can be used as a simple example of how we choose the story to be told.
Footprints Filmworks is an investment company that invests in internet media, print media, text media, film and distribution. The company was originally created by Omar Abdulla to become a leading film production company that PROMOTES INDO-ASIANS of South Africa to the world.
Since the company has a combined experience of 81 years in the finance, media, entertainment and teaching fields we choose to "mix and match" our qualities to tell a true story of the South African republic. This document is broken into four parts-Basic synosis of the film, Income and Expenditure, Notes to Staff and future developments.The goal of Footprints Filmworks and the associate companies we advertise with, is to bridge gaps to create blockbuster films, create "dreamy" website channels, to be market makers and to be "the best" at providing our people "the best" customer service. Footprints Filmworks chooses to be the fastest growing company in South Africa in 2010.
