Car Charging Group, Inc. (CCGI) Announces the Completed Installations of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in West Palm Beach, Florida

Car Charging Group, Inc., a developmental stage company that focuses on owning, providing, and servicing electric charging service facilities for the electric vehicle (EV) automobile market, recently announced that it has completed the installation of seven EV changing station in West Palm Beach, Florida.

“We’re thrilled to be working with the city of West Palm Beach,” said Car Charging Group CEO Michael D. Farkas. “As one of the first municipalities installing EV charging stations in the state of Florida, they clearly share our passion and understand the importance of installing a national infrastructure of EV charging stations.”

Car Charging Group will install seven Level II, 240 volt, ChargePoint(R) Networked Charging stations for electric cars, manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, a leader in the electric vehicle charging solution market.

The charging stations will be located in the downtown West Palm Beach Clematis Street Garage, at 500 Banyan Blvd. Five of the seven stations will be assigned for West Palm Beach official use, including the Parking Administration and Code Enforcement departments, providing for the charging support for five new 100 percent electric Nissan LEAF automobiles purchased by the city, which are expected to arrive in December of this year. Two stations, which are located at the Clematis Street Garage, will be available for public use, free of charge.

Both EV and Nissan LEAF charging stations are funded through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program, which is designed to assist cities in carrying out strategies to reduce fossil fuel emissions and decrease energy use in the building, transportation, and other sectors.

“We’re very excited about installing these EV charging stations,” said Penni Redford, the sustainability manager for the city of West Palm Beach. “By installing charging stations, we are positioning West Palm Beach as a green leader, while simultaneously bolstering our mission to promote West Palm Beach’s thriving downtown business district.”

The city plans to analyze the data recorded on the public changing stations’ usage patterns. Data collection is enabled through the management applications of the ChargePoint(R) Network, which allows the station owners to track and report energy usage and greenhouse gas savings. With their analysis, the city will be able to decide if and when to install any additional charging stations.

Goldrich Mining Company (GRMC) Closes Final Placement for Roughly $667k Net, Plans to Expand Gold Exploration and Production at Massive Alaskan...

Goldrich Mining Company (GRMC) Closes Final Placement for Roughly $667k Net, Plans to Expand Gold Exploration and Production at Massive Alaskan Chandalar Property

Goldrich Mining, the junior mineral development company which owns the entire 27 sq miles of the Chandalar gold district near Fairbanks Alaska (190 miles north), a world-class resource with high-grade gold veins and alluvial deposits, reported closure today of a private placement of the Company’s common stock/warrants. The company intends to use the capital infusion for exploration and development at Chandalar, as well as some general purpose expenses.

Everything went smoothly, with the placement being oversubscribed and terms being set in relation to the 20-day weighted volume average price of $0.23/share. The Company sold some 4.17M shares at $0.18 per unit, where each unit is comprised of a share of common stock and a warrant to purchase a share at $0.36 within 24 months from the day of issuance.

Thus GRMC has raked in some $750k, netting around $677k that the Company can use to address the massive amount of gold contained throughout the some 17.1k acres of mineral rights 100% owned by GRMC at the Chandalar site (23 patented Federal mining claims and 164 unpatented claims from the State of Alaska).

This is precisely the kind of jump start GRMC requires in order to aggressively pursue development at Chandalar, which has multiple promising targets, including a massive stratabound, sediment-hosted gold target (8 km by 550 m). The Company developed one of seven alluvial deposits, completing a test mine in 2009 that saw 1,500 oz Au in its first season of production in 2010.

Also among the terms of today’s reported private placement deal is a call option for GRMC whereby, in the event that the weighted volume average price of common shares exceeds $0.72 for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its sole discretion, issue written notice to warrant holders within ten business days, effectively accelerating warrant expiration date to within 20 business days after the issuance of notice. The Company has granted full resale registration rights to such investors.

Inquiring investors are encouraged to contact President, Director and CEO of GRMC, Mr. William Schara, directly via email at wschara@goldrichmining.com or, via the Company’s website at www.goldrichmining.com

Tivus, Inc. (TIVU) Commences Phase II Development in Hospitality IPTV Environment

As part of its ongoing penetration of the hospitality industry’s entertainment market, Tivus, Inc. announced recently that it has begun Phase II in its deployment of high-definition internet protocol television (HD-IPTV). The company follows a novel business model for hotel entertainment systems providers.

In March of this year, Tivus had announced what appeared to be a test installation in 300 rooms of a luxury Host Hotels & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: HST) hotel. With that deployment having gone well, the company has now placed its systems in 900 rooms.

Commented CEO and president Shiva Prakash on releasing the news, “We successfully completed testing of our ad-insertion technology in our lab — the core of our proprietary revenue sharing model… With nearly 900 rooms now live, Tivus’ inaugural installation has continued to satisfy hotel guests by creating a home-like experience; frankly, the response has exceeded our expectations.”

The company is focused on supplying hotels with entertainment profit centers beyond the staid, traditional areas of movies-on-demand as supplied by other companies. For example, one competitor, ETVi, a subsidiary of Ibahn Corporation of South Jordan, UT, offers hotels “revenue opportunity from: subscription TV channels; video & music on demand; Internet, Email & Radio on TV; business centre solutions and in-room, meeting room and public area high-speed Internet services,” according to its website. Though that description has been the prevailing business model, Tivus is torqueing up the game with a new approach.

“Another Tivus first, ad-supported IPTV allows hotels to migrate away from legacy video-on-demand systems,” said Prakash recently. “[Our] ad-supported, revenue-sharing business model capitalizes on new, fully interactive IPTV technology offering a completely interactive experience for the guest, such as ordering room or spa services, while turning the hotel’s entertainment system into a significant revenue center.”

The expanded development is a strong move for Tivus, since Host is partnered with a virtual Who’s Who list of luxury hotels worldwide and commands 62,000 rooms under its own name alone. For Tivus, which is already in a Doubletree hotel, the news is quickly generating fresh leads for the company.

CEO Prakash noted, “News of Tivus’ revenue sharing business model has traveled fast, as I have spent the last two weeks visiting certain hotel chains and properties that requested demonstrations. We are committed to our goal of providing hotel entertainment as a profit center to the world’s hospitality and gaming industries.”

The company also benefits from the quality of staff at the top. Prakash, formerly of International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) and a veteran programmer himself, is joined by Chief Technology Officer Randall Francis. CTO Francis handled the first roll-out of on-demand video for a major supplier to Hyatt (NYSE: H), Sheraton, Regent, and other hotels in Pacific Rim countries, and is also widely experienced in other aspects of hotel servicing.

An important part of Tivus’ strategy, says its website, is its system’s ability to specifically target hotel guests with appropriate advertising. “Tivus protects, maintains, and anonymously remembers each guest’s unique settings and preferences and are securely available at any hotel property in the world with Tivus IPTV,” the site tells visitors.

As a special incentive to prospective clients, Tivus provides its HD flat-screen televisions at no cost. The Tivus IPTV system can also handle such guest benefits as scheduling shuttles, room and valet service, and even express checkout. Through the service, which is described as “fully customizable”, hotels are also able to present to guests their own marketing, such as discounts and travel packages.

With no apparent direct competition for such novel HD-IPTV service to luxury hoteliers, Tivus is well positioned for further growth.

Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (XING) Reports Fiscal 2010 Financial Review

Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc., a leading company in the molybdenum mining business with substantial assets in the resources industry, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. All figures were converted from RMB into U.S. dollar amounts.

In fiscal 2010, the company reported solid results driven by its mining business with revenues of $45.5 million, compared to approximately $29.7 million reported for fiscal 2009, and net income in fiscal 2010 of $13.7 million compared to approximately $9.7 million in fiscal 2009.

The company’s 56 percent owned subsidiary, Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co. Ltd. (QXM), responded to unfavorable competition by strategically contracting its mobile phone business, thereby limiting its operating losses. These operating losses contributed to Qiao Xing’s net loss of $8.7 million compared to a consolidated net loss of approximately $40 million in 2009.

As of December 31, 2010, Qiao Xing reported cash and equivalents of $481.5 million.

Ruilin Wu, the company’s chairman and CEO, said the company’s mining operations had a positive impact on its financial position, as evidenced through its net income for the fiscal year.

“Our mining operations grew significantly in 2010 as our mining operations began to contribute significantly to our financial results. Furthermore, we completed two additional mine acquisitions at the end of 2010 and these two operational and producing mines will contribute substantially in 2011,” Wu stated in the press release. “As seen by the impressive rise in revenue and net income in 2010, we are continuing to implement our strategy of becoming a pure-play resources company even as we work to finalize our options as relates to our remaining telecommunications business.”

In fiscal 2010, the company completed the acquisition of a 100 percent equity interest in Balinzuo Banner Xinyuan Mining Co. Ltd., which owns a mine with estimated ore reserves of 9.7 million tons which primarily contains lead, zinc and copper; and the acquisition of a 34.53 percent equity interest in Chifeng Aolunhua Mining Co. Ltd.

Moving forward, the company’s stated strategic plan is to optimize its mining assets, acquire future high potential mining assets, and to become a pure resources company.

Simulated Environment Concepts, Inc. (SMEV) Takes On New Challengers

SpaCapsule, the flagship hydro massage and sensory stimulation system from Simulated Environment Concepts, has moved well beyond being marketed as a feel-good automated massage device. As a product designed by doctors, SpaCapsule is increasing in popularity based upon its health benefits. At first the focus was primarily the reduction of aches and pains, together with its anti-stress qualities. Later, results from an independent study by Dermscan showed that SpaCapsule is effective as a tool for weight and cellulite reduction. SE Concepts is even considering formal FDA recognition for SpaCapsule regarding its therapeutic benefits.

By targeting the health market, SE Concepts takes on a new set of competitors, though competitors that approach the market from an admittedly different direction, two of which are shown below.

• Syneron Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELOS) – Syneron and its subsidiaries develop and sell aesthetic medical products for things like hair removal, wrinkle reduction, and skin rejuvenation and treatment. Its products are based upon the combination of radiofrequency energy and light or laser-based energy, and have also been used for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite and thigh circumference, and for various other treatments. The products are sold primarily to physicians and other medical practitioners.
• Cynosure (NASDAQ: CYNO) – Cynosure develops and sells a range of aesthetic treatment systems to the dermatology, plastic surgery, and general medical markets. Its products are based upon light-based energy sources, such as diode lasers and intense pulsed light. The various products are used for hair removal and the treatment of facial pigmentations and leg veins, as well as for LaserBodySculpting for the removal of unwanted fat, and also for wrinkles and skin appearance.

If SE Concepts ever decides to create a franchise network based upon SpaCapsule, they would also be in the same arena as a number of well-known massage franchises as well, including:

• Hand & Stone
• Massage Spa LaVida Massage
• Massage Greenelements therapeutic massage
• WoodHouse Day SpaMassaggiano
• Massage HeightsKeep in Touch
• Massage EnvyZen Massage Center
• One2One BodyScapes

The key difference between all of these potential competitors and SE Concepts is, of course, SpaCapsule.

Fibrocell Science, Inc. (FCSC) Targeting Anti-Aging Market with Stem Cell Therapy

When you look in a mirror, do you see saggy cheek wrinkles running down at an angle from each side of your nose? If so, you’re on your way to understanding the significance of a Michigan biotech company called Fibrocell Science, Inc. (FCSC). Those wrinkles are called nasolabial fold wrinkles, and are considered the single most revealing indicator of your real age. Try it yourself. Use your hands to stretch your face back so that those sag wrinkles go away, and notice how much younger your face looks.

Developing an effective and affordable non-invasive anti-wrinkle treatment is cosmetic’s Holy Grail, and Fibrocell Science may have discovered the answer. The company has made major breakthroughs in developing a way to remove, regenerate, and reintroduce a person’s own fibroblasts, cells that contribute to the formation of connective tissue fibers that are critical to skin elasticity and tissue repair.

The patented process is called Fibrocell Therapy, and involves the generation and injection of azficel-T, a personalized treatment based upon the person’s own cells.

• The process begins by removing a small sample of cells from behind a patient’s ear, and sending it to the company’s advanced production facility in Pennsylvania, controlled by FDA defined Current Good Manufacturing Practices – cGMP.
• There the cells go through a process that expands fibroblasts into hundreds of millions of new cells, which are then formulated into an autologous cellular therapy.
• Cells are frozen and used for multiple treatment sessions.
• The formulated therapy is then reintroduced into the patient’s own skin by injection, with the goal of increasing the local population of fibroblasts and collagen formation.

In controlled clinical studies, a significant improvement in the appearance of nasolabial fold wrinkles was observed after injecting azficel-T. Fibrocell even has a proposed brand name for the eventual product – laViv®. Given that the global anti-aging market could approach $275 billion by 2013, it’s a name worth remembering.

But Fibrocell’s future is based upon more than the golden nugget of wrinkle removal. Fibroblasts are important for things like wound healing. The company is focused on the development of personalized autologous (derived or transferred from the same individual’s body) cell therapies for aesthetic, medical, and scientific applications. Fibrocell’s future scientific focus will be on regenerative medicine that leverages the direct and indirect therapeutic benefit of fibroblasts, and they are working with UCLA in a research collaboration involving autologous stem cell research.

Energizer Resources, Inc. (ENZR) is “One to Watch”

It has been called the plastic of the 21st century, a strategic rare metallic element with remarkable properties that are especially important for today’s rising technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries. But it’s an element that is almost exclusively (98%) mined in South Africa, China, and Russia, typically from vanadium-bearing magnetite that requires considerable processing.

That’s why a discovery in Madagascar has brought Energizer Resources, Inc. (ENZR), a Canadian based minerals exploration company, to the attention of investors. The company has 100% interest in what is called the Green Giant project, a 225 square kilometer property in south central Madagascar. Little if any modern exploration for mineral deposits has been completed in this part of Madagascar, and the Green Giant property drillings have now shown it to be one of the largest vanadium deposits in the world. Moreover, the deposit is unique from other known vanadium deposits, because it is sediment-hosted, not magnetite hosted. Sediment-hosted vanadium requires less processing, and is expected to produce high-purity battery grade vanadium pentoxide (V2O5).

Although the project will require the upgrading of the area’s transportation and power infrastructure, Energizer Resources is working with Asia-Thai Mining, one of the owners of a nearby coal project, on a transportation upgrade sharing program. A National Instrument 43-101 compliant preliminary economic assessment (PEA) has been initiated with DRA Mineral Projects.

Vanadium is considered a strategic metal, both for performance and cost. Its primary quality is its ability to enhance the properties of things with which it is mixed. It can make things stronger, lighter, more efficient, or more powerful. For example, only a small amount of vanadium is required to dramatically increase the tensile strength of steel, making vanadium essential in construction applications. In addition, it is important in aerospace and other industries for things like vanadium-titanium alloys, offering the best strength-to-weight ratio of any engineered material. But vanadium has also become critical to battery technology, increasing the energy density and voltage of lithium-ion batteries, important for improving the performance of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Energizer, the only company actively working to produce a battery grade vanadium pentoxide as a primary product, is targeting Green Giant production for the end of 2014.

iBio, Inc. (IBIO) Announced iBioLaunch Platform’s Successful Production of Hookworm Vaccine Antigen

iBio, Inc., a biotechnology company that engages in the development of vaccines and therapeutic proteins, recently announced that its iBioLaunch™ Platform has successfully produced the hookworm-derived molecule, known as NaAPR1M-75. The Antigen will be evaluated as a potential vaccine candidate to be used for the human hookworm disease.

The success has been derived from the collaboration between iBio’s research partner, the Fraunhofer Center for Molecular Biotechnology (FCMB) and the Sabin Vaccine Institute. Production for the initial quantities of partially purified NaAPR1M-74 was completed last week at FCMB’s pilot manufacturing facility that utilizes the iBioLaunch Technology. The product was then transferred to Walter Reed Army Institute for Research (WRAIR) for the last stage of purification to create enough material to start Phase 1 clinical trials.

“We are very pleased with the success in expressing a pilot batch of this antigen in collaboration with iBio and FCMB,” said Dr. Peter Hotez, President of Sabin Vaccine Institute. “It has been extremely difficult to produce this protein effectively, as evidenced by multiple prior unsuccessful attempts using traditional production systems.”

“The expression of this complex protein with the iBioLaunch™ Platform not only moves us closer to a solution for hundreds of millions of people who suffer from hookworm, but also bodes well for other complex protein expression challenges,” said Dr. Philip Russell, a member of the Board of Trustees of Sabin Vaccine Institute and member of the Board of Directors of iBio.

Clinical trials will be administered by the Sabin Vaccine Institute’s Human Hookworm Initiative (HHVI). The HHVI, which was established in 2000 with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and with the additional support from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Brazilian Ministry of Health, is the first and the only program that strives to reduce the prevalence of the human hookworm infection with the aid of research and development, timely result announcements, advocacy, and innovation.

Auric Mining Corp. (AUMY) is “One to Watch”

Auric Mining Corp. is an investment and management company focused on mining and natural resources projects. Auric Mining has searched through numerous databases of private and public natural resources companies that have substantial findings already proven and intends to either purchase, joint venture or invest in the companies or projects that meet its criteria.

Auric Mining CEO and President Michael Burke leads the company with expertise in technological integration, mining and geophysical exploration, finance, project and corporate development as well as a successful track record of extracting shareholder value. He has founded and served as the president of numerous companies, most notably building World Star Holdings Inc. into a multi-million dollar enterprise.

The Dolly Gold Showing lies in a major known gold resource area with a history of gold mining over the past 50 years. In 1984, assays from 0.13 oz. over 2.4 meters to 1.28 oz. over 0.3 meters were recorded. The best gold assay recorded was 2.48 oz. with no recorded width. Using current technology and the latest geology expertise, Auric Mining will focus on trends and process information that were previously missed.

The area near Auric Mining’s Dog Lake Project has shown promising signs of concentrated kimberlite indicators, a favorable geological formation for diamond exploration, as well as numerous deposits of small diamonds within metamorphosed Archean basement rocks. Now that the unusual rocks that host these occurrences have been fairly well-characterized and ongoing overburden stripping is exposing new bedrock, finding diamonds in the area is becoming an almost everyday occurrence.

Sonora Resources Corp. (SURE) Announces Completion of Geophysics Program at Los Amoles Silver Prospect

Sonora Resources, a mineral exploration and production company focused on international silver and gold targets in geopolitically stable regions, reported completion today of the sweeping geophysics program at its Los Amoles Property in Sonora State, Mexico. The geophysical data will be married with extant historical data, as well as work results to hone in on areas indicated to be highly prospective for epithermal silver and gold deposits.

While still in early stages of development, the 16.3 sq km Los Amoles Property is just some 10 km away from one of Mexico’s largest mining and processing facilities, the La Caridad Mine run by Grupo Mexico and has seen extensive artisan workings that kicked up targets on over 20 gold/silver veins running throughout the option lands. Needless to say SURE is eager to complete a full and rigorous analysis of the geophysical data, which was derived via both IP and magnetic susceptibility covering a nine sq km zone (28 line km of grid) of the property.

A rock sampling program was also run in parallel to the recent data collection, culling 124 samples from historic workings, mineralized dumps and key outcrops tagged for observed mineralization. Samples have been sent to nearby (150 km) Hermosillo, where an Inspectorate Labs facility will be handling the testing, results of which are anticipated by SURE within three weeks.

Initial results appear to check with extant data, leading to a very positive outlook for SURE, which expects full results and the final, detailed reported within the next two weeks. The previous analytical efforts produced a relatively complete mapping of a surface vein system roughly 800m along strike which has previously yielded very promising assay/sampling results:

2m grading 0.63 g/t Au and 698.6 g/t Ag
6m grading 0.33 g/t Au and 226.6 g/t Ag (included 2m at 0.63 g/t Au and 497.3 g/t Ag)
1m grading 0.33 g/t Au and 496.8 g/t Ag
Dump material grading 0.24 g/t Au and 1,027.5 Ag (note the high silver content)

With an option to earn a 70% interest in Los Amoles, SURE has been shrewdly measuring forward momentum; as all efforts to date have been essentially focused on the large magnetic anomaly (4 x 2.5 sq km in size) on the southern edge of the property and analysis thus far indicates this targeted anomaly represents veins of silver-lead with gold that are distal to a larger, buried porphyry system. While this scenario has yet to be thoroughly tested, the geological indices are strong and sampling data alone is cause to proceed, especially when one consider the regional geological make up, as most of the entire region’s top porphyry deposits occur within some 70 km of Los Amoles.

These are promising results for Sonora Resources and shareholders can look forward to reports/analysis coming out soon on Los Amoles.

Shiloh Industries (SHLO) Posts Balance Sheet Improvements for Fiscal 2011 Q2

Shiloh Industries Inc., a leading manufacturer of various blanks, stampings and modular assemblies for the automotive and truck industry, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended April 30, 2011, posting increases across the board.

Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were $137.0 million, an increase of 16.3 percent from $117.8 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Shiloh reported second-quarter net income of $3.4 million, or $0.20 per share diluted, compared to second quarter 2010 net income of $3.1 million, or $0.19 per share diluted.

Theodore K. Zampetis, president and CEO, attributes the quarterly increases to improved vehicle build levels in North America. He also noted that the earthquake and tsunami in Japan affected the production plans of several of the company’s customers, who subsequently had to pull-back on vehicle assembly operations.

Zampetis said the company stayed on track, focusing on its plans to improve quality and productivity; the launch of its new Bowling, Green, Kentucky, facility; and preparing for new program launches.

“Moving forward we are continuing our sharp focus on growing our top and bottom lines through our emphasis on innovative product leadership, customer loyalty, and our passion for operating excellence,” Zampetis stated in the press release.

Stratus Media Group Inc. (SMDI) Closes $14M Financing, Details Corporate Realignment

Stratus Media Group Inc. is a global owner and operator of live entertainment events and owner of the Stratus Rewards Visa White Card, a premium lifestyle membership club. The company today announced it has successfully closed a round of financing that delivered gross proceeds of $14.1 million. Maxim Group LLC served as a placement agent for $8 million; Fusao Assets S.A. served as a placement agent for $3 million.

“Since Stratus was founded, we have made significant progress in building a large portfolio of assets and preparing to monetize those assets into revenues,” Paul Feller, president and CEO stated in the press release. “This financing will allow us to implement business plans for multiple verticals, produce live entertainment events, and initiate the Stratus Rewards Visa White Card program.”

To execute its plans to grow both domestically and internationally, Straus has realigned its properties into five vertical divisions: film, music, motorsports, action sports, and Stratus Rewards.

“All divisions within Stratus are aligned with a common set of objectives,” Feller stated, “and this financing will allow our management team to implement the business plan that we believe will provide for growth in global revenues and ‘top of mind’ awareness of the Stratus brands.”

By refocusing its efforts, paired with the necessary funding and placement of key personnel, Stratus expects to advance its business plan and position itself as a leading global provider of live entertainment and lifestyle branding opportunities.

Feller said the company will continue to offer its lifestyle events while it reaches out to saturate other emerging global entertainment markets such as digital entertainment and commerce.

Stratus anticipates it will receive an additional $2 million in gross proceeds through the sale of preferred stock and warrants over the next several months.

Sen Yu International Holdings, Inc. (CSWG) Anticipates Gains from Increased Hog Prices

Sen Yu international Holdings, Inc., a leader in breeding, raising, and distributing commercial hogs and piglets to the slaughter facilities and distributors in the People’s Republic of China, announced that it expects increasing hog prices to help increase breeders’ profits and expects long-term demand for its commercial breeding hogs based upon increased consumption by Chinese consumers.

Dow Jones Newswires reported a week prior that higher hog prices are supporting U.S. pork exports to China and a swift expansion of the domestic herds for this year, with Chinese piglet prices increasing by 50% thus far to three-year highs, in accordance with a note that was released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on May 19, 2011. Weaker domestic prices for the first half of 2010 and diseases reduced Chinese herds sharply, which caused a pork shortage in the country that is potentially more severe than was initially expected, according to the USDA’s Beijing-based Foreign Agriculture Services.

The increases in pork prices nationwide took off last month when certain farms in one of the country’s major pig breeding areas were reported to have given the pigs an illegal drug in their food to produce more lean meat. China’s biggest meat processor learned that certain pigs in Henan and other farms have been affected by the lean-meat producing drugs and the facilities were shut down as a result. This added to the supply shortage and helped push prices higher. In accordance to a recent report in the Want China Times, increased feed and labor costs, along with supplies that fall short of the demands in the market, are more likely to keep pig and pork prices at higher levels during the second quarter for this year, and even reach a new high later.

“Though higher prices for pork will likely encourage more hog farmers to enter the industry, Sen Yu has a well-established brand and is the leading commercial hog breeder and supplier in Heilongjiang Province,” commented Mr. Zhenyu (Jack) Shang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Sen Yu International Holdings, Inc. “In our most recent fiscal third quarter, we experienced higher revenue and gross profit and very significant increases in gross margins due to strong increases in average market prices for commercial hogs. As a result, gross margin in the fiscal third quarter increased 27.2% versus 17.9% for the same period last year, and net margin rose to 19.3% versus 9.7% a year ago. While prices may fluctuate over time, we believe that strong demand from Chinese consumers for high quality pork coupled with rising domestic incomes and economic expansion will stimulate even greater demand for our superior breeding and commercial hogs.”

VIASPACE, Inc. (VSPC) and the Grassoline Revolution

For many, the growing move away from fossil fuels brings to mind the replacement of large coal, gas, or oil burning power plants with any one of several alternative energy solutions. What is too often forgotten is that fossil fuels, especially oil, are also used for other things. Most of the oil used by the U.S. (the biggest oil consumer) is not used to generate electricity. 44% of the oil used by the U.S. goes to gasoline production, while a substantial 18% goes to the production of plastics, asphalt, and other materials.

While there are many renewable resources proposed for the generation of electricity, the problem of how best to replace gasoline and plastics and all of the other fossil-based chemicals is not as easily addressed. The use of electric cars plugged into green power plants may sound attractive, but will require major long-term changes at both ends of the link. And all of those electric cars would depend upon, among other things, lightweight plastics which green power plants cannot produce.

But there is a technology that offers an answer. Biomass technology, unlike other green technologies, can be applied to both the large scale generation of electricity and the production of mobile fuels, as well as the growing number of complex chemicals that we’ve all learned to depend upon.

Although many of the technical issues involving the use of biomass have already been solved, the biomass industry has until recently faced the same roadblock hindering other green industries, the cost challenge. The use of waste agricultural materials as a biomass source has been problematic, with costs and supplies hard to predict. The use of dedicated crops is more reliable, but the length of time required for growth, replanting, and harvesting has proved costly.

Viaspace, Inc., developers of Giant King Grass (GKG), an ultra-fast growing proprietary hybrid grass, have cleared that last hurdle. GKG grows so fast, requiring no replanting, that it can be harvested continuously throughout the year, resulting in 4 times the yield of switchgrass in terms of tons per acre, and 10 times the yield of corn stover. In addition to being a cost-effective and zero-carbon footprint replacement for coal in power plants, zero-carbon due to the carbon absorbed during the growth cycle, GKG can also be converted into mobile fuels such as ethanol, methanol, diesel and gasoline (collectively known as “grassoline”). And it can be used as a feedstock for the production of bio plastics and other materials now being actively researched by many energy and chemical companies.

America West Resources, Inc. (AWSR) Completes Development of Horizon Coal Mine in Utah, Increased Production and Reduced Overhead Improves...

America West Resources, Inc. (AWSR) Completes Development of Horizon Coal Mine in Utah, Increased Production and Reduced Overhead Improves Profitability

America West Resources, an established company positioned to make huge moves in domestic coal production, with a firm production base already established in Utah, reported initiation of full production at the Horizon Coal Mine in Carbon County (roughly 120 miles outside Salt Lake City) today.

Mine development has been completed on schedule via room and pillar, with today marking the end of a three-year process that has networked a five tunnel (20 feet wide) system extending up to three miles. Shuttle car and conveyor belt systems have been installed, as well as the electrical and water supply necessary to conduct full production at optimal levels.

With an estimated 16M recoverable tons of high quality thermal coal reserves now accessible for production within the 1,640 acre mining leasehold, the Horizon Coal Mine is an extremely well appointed and carved out front end capable of supporting in excess of 60k ton per month output rates with two continuous miners. Having already produced some 1.6M tons, the Horizon Coal Mine activity should place AWSR in positive cash flow this quarter, leading to a plan by the Company for expanding output at Horizon to 90k tons per month (over 1M tons per year) via the addition of another continuous miner in the second part of 2011.

With roughly 39% of the world’s electricity coming from coal and some 135 new coal plants under construction worldwide, the export market for domestically produced coal is really starting to heat up. America West is adroitly exploiting this key opportunity to expand on its existing strengths in the mining of high BTU compliant (low-sulfur) coal and subsequent sale to utilities/industry in the western US, positioning the Company for significant growth as a strong global supplier as well.

Between emergent technologies like coal gasification, which is an extremely versatile, highly efficient and environmentally sound processing technology, and coal to diesel conversion technology, America’s vast coal reserves are becoming increasingly attractive. With more than half of the US power supply projected to be coming from coal in 2025, AWSR is able to carve out a nice chunk of the domestic market, where 97% of all coal consumed comes from domestic production.

President and CEO of AWSR, Dan Baker, commented on the transitioning to mobile roof supports or MRSs to replace the remaining pillars of material in preparation for maximum production and explained how this process reduces the maintenance overhead substantially throughout the mine.

Baker pointed to future developments at Horizon planned by AWSR, like the implementation of a longwall mining system, which would increase output capacity to somewhere in the three to six million tons per year range. Baker concluded that implementation of a longwall system would require additional financing and thanked the rock steady support of John Thomas Financial in helping to finance Horizon to its current full production status.

Baker called this milestone achievement for AWSR an “inflexion point” for the Company and expressed great confidence that the “future has never looked brighter” for America West Resources.
