Only 20Million Outstanding for this Canadian Lithium Project

Posted on August 30th, 2010 by  |  Comments Off

Shareholders could be forgiven for thinking the sky’s the limit for Petro Horizon Energy(TSX: V.PHE, Stock Forum). After all, its stock has popped 306% so far in 2010 to its current price of 34.5 cents a share. The question is, will the sun keep rising or set on this penny explorer?

Petro Horizon’s sole concern is its Brazil Lake Lithium Rare Metals Project, a 3,160 acre property located about 30 kilometres north of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and 12 kilometres west of the Avalon Rare Metals (TSX: T.AVL, Stock Forum) East Kemptville Project. Although the property has yet to be diligently explored by the company, drilling to date has revealed two lithium-bearing pegmatite dikes. In addition to lithium, the dikes host several other rare metals such as tantalum, niobium, beryllium, tungsten tin and rubidium. Metallurgical bench testing to date has also revealed other potential economic targets, including cosmetic grade mica, silica chloride, aluminum chloride and rubidium enriched potassium feldspar.

“(Our deposit) is classic hard-rock pegmatite. What’s attractive about this project is that it’s accessibly is really good compared with a lot of other projects in the world. We’re within walking length of power, (it is in) southern Nova Scotia, which is within 15 miles of a saltwater port and it has year-round access, including road access,” says Petro HorizonPresident Ron Bourgeois.

Bourgeois was quick to point out that it’s not a grass roots property – it has been drilled up by the private company that has held the claims for a number of years and has 29 holes in it. “ Proving up a profitable resource is the challenge 

Bourgeois went on to explain that lithium-hosted pegmatite dikes tend to occur in clusters. Petro Horizon has two (dikes) that have been drilled and a third on the property that the company is going to do some mining this summer. Its goal this summer, then, is to expand the drilling on both of these dikes – “they have not yet hit bottom.” The company has about 500,000 tonnes measured up (non-43-101 compliant). Bourgeois said he hopes to get the two dikes up to two million tonnes, which he believes will get the company to the commerciality stage. In addition, he plans to do some work on the third dike, which would encourage the company to do further drilling on it.

The company currently has $150,000 in cash and 10.6 million shares (basic) outstanding, not including 4.6 million convertible warrants and about 1.8 million share options. This figure also doesn’t include its announcement on March 31, 2010, that it is proceeding with a non-brokered private placement of up to 2,977,000 units in the capital stock for total gross proceeds of up to $1,000,200.

Bourgeois says at this stage there are no plans to bring in partners. “Our joint venturewith a private company called Champlain Mineral Ventures is that we will earn 75% through a phase work program.” He added that once they get to that level they may consider partners because to build a mill there would probably cost between $40 million and $50 million.

“Unlike the salares (salt lakes containing lithium brine), 8% cosmetic mica is a great by-product to have in such high quality  .” He said it has been sent to a number of cosmetics producers in the United States and they like it because it doesn’t have any iron in it. “Cosmetic mica is non-allergenic so it’s used as a base in a lot of cosmetics,” Bourgeois claims.

Petro Horizon boasts that it has one of the purist lithium discoveries in North America at 7.7%. To put that in perspective, Bourgeois asserts that the salares tend to average 1% to 2%. He explained that the mineral that hosts the lithium element is called spodumene . The granite intrusion that comes the surface is called a pegmatite and within the pegmatite there is spodumene. Bourgeois told Stockhouse that the company has been run 14% to 20% spodumene in the pegmatite and the spodumene itself has been running 7% to 7.7% lithium. What you end up doing if successful, he said, is having an open pit mine where you follow the spodumene – you mine the pegmatite where you’ve identified the spodumene.

Petro Horizon Energy shareholders carry the risk of investing in a junior with just one project, but could take in from its, so far, relatively low number of shares outstanding. The company could also be an attractive takeover or joint venture candidate, possibly involving its neighbour Avalon. Regardless, Petro Horizon must continue to drill to justify a higher share price.

“We’re looking at other projects. Right now we’ve got an application from the TSX on this project. Until such time we get this project approved by the TSX we really can’t commit to anything else but we are looking at other projects and we do have our eye on a few others mutual to this one,” according to Bourgeois. He added that once Petro Horizon gets confirmation from its drilling program that it has proved up the resource to a higher level, at that stage it plans to go into a bulk sampling and a pilot project, hopefully within the year.

If you have a nice big landscaped garden, you can either choose to buy a large stainless steel BBQ or you could even have a go at building your own.

These are an first-class idea if you have the skills to do it yourself, with just a few bricks or nice stone you can soon build a very impressive BBQ.

Just make sure you find the appropriate spot to build your brick or stone BBQ as once it’s finished, you can’t really move it. One advantage of building your own BBQ is that it’s going to be able to withstand all types of weather condition.

If you build your own BBQ, there are other advantages too because you can add to it each year by adding on a small section to put your beer fridge in, or add a small roof over it to keep off the bright sunlight.

Herb Garden Kits: The Benefits Of Having Your Own Plant Encyclopedia

Posted on August 28th, 2010 by  |  Comments Off

As an herbalist, you should know that there’s more to the custody of your plants than merely simply pruning and watering them. Investing in a plant encyclopedia as an addition to your herb garden kits will give you quite a useful resource that is’s going to offer you all of the data you are going to need to keep your plants alive. A good plant encyclopedia has various information on each kind of plant that it focuses on. One of the ordinarily overlooked aspects is the factor of how plants are named. Changing from region to region, a plant may have several distinct names. A good encyclopedia have the most common references for each plant, so that you can make use of it in purchasing your plants as seeds via the web, and this would be in a position to ensure you have purchased the appropriate kind of plant.

A plant encyclopedia also have good care info for each sort of plant. For example, it decides whether or not a plant is okay for outdoor or indoor growth. As a good reference, it encompasses a legend which shows the grow areas of your plants, how they react to weather changes, and the ranges of temperature that they live in. Other valuable information that are involved are the necessary exposure to sunlight, scale of hardiness, tolerance, the problem of taking carer of the plant and the watering information.

Nonetheless, making a plant encyclopedia as your reference is just not enough to promise your plant’s survival.

Plenty of people use the encyclopedias after buying the plant, but the fact of the case is that their correct usage is in paraphrasing first before purchasing. Some plants are only appropriate for people that are very patient in inclining to temperamental plants that are prone to shriveling.

Other vital information that you can get from a plant encyclopedia is the history and breeding characteristics of the plants.

If you’d love to cross-breed your plants, you should also know what sorts of plants can be bred against your plant, as well as the breeding method.

As an addition to your herb garden kits, your plant encyclopedia should include info on how your plants or herbs should be used, their safe use and the risks associated with the wrong usage of the herbs. If there are any poisonous plants listed in the book, the data regarding the toxicity of the plant should be utilized, as this is something that you may not need to overlook for your own safety as you make your herb garden.
