Tip by Tom Winnifrith on investment website T1PS.com on 07.10.04 :
"In the mining world, Caledon Resources raced ahead by 0.75p to 5.125p after website t1ps.com upgraded its stance from "hold" to "strong speculative buy." Last time this website tipped Caledon the shares more than trebled in three months before members were advised to sell half their holdings so guaranteeing a three figure return. The website argues that the risk/reward trade-off now looks more attractive than ever and suggests that corporate activity within the subsector (Chinese gold explorers) is about to explode"

On fundamentals ALL exploration companies without resources can be said to be overpriced. The only assets they have which can have a hard-and-fast value assigned to them are their bank balances.
People invest in explorers because they believe that the projects/management/geo team have the potential to develop valuable mineral deposits. The share price usually reflects the market's opinion about this potential.
In the fulness of time, if Caledon discover deposits which can be proved up to contain a couple of million ounces, those that bought at 5p or even 15p will be seen to have been correct (or fortunate!) in their assessment of risk/reward.
Some details below from the recent WHI broker note on Palladex, I am not suggesting for a moment that anyone go buy Palladex this is just for comparative data where you will see the value of a company compared to it's in-situ gold.
Point is where will CDN be once they show one project is as big as they and we hope by giving an estimate by end of 2004 ?

Caledon Overview:
Caledon Resources PLC is a public company listed on the Alternative Investment Market of The London Stock Exchange (trading symbol: "CDN"). Its mission is to become the leading gold exploration company in “The Golden Triangle” of Southern China

Caledon has assembled a multi-talented, technically oriented management team - one of few with in-depth knowledge and experience in China. All members have over 15 years experience in evaluating hundreds of East Asian sediment hosted disseminated gold deposits
Advanced stage gold exploration focussed on under-explored producing gold mines in China - Exploration active on four advanced stage gold projects: Hengxian, Gaolong, Badu and Mojiang
Caledon’s primary focus: Sediment Hosted, Disseminated Gold Deposits (“Carlin-type”). Quoted from the United States Geological Survey (USGS Open-File Report 02–131): “It is likely that many of the Carlin-type Au ore districts in China, when fully developed, could have resource potential comparable to the multi-1,000-tonne Au resource in northernNevada.”

Corporate Summary
Caledon Resources PLC is a public company listed on the Alternative Investment Market of The London Stock Exchange (trading symbol: "CDN") and has been domiciled in the UK since February 2003. The Company’s primary focus is to enhance shareholder value through the opportunistic evaluation of fertile under-explored gold districts, resulting in the exploration, discovery and development of world-class gold ore bodies. The Company is currently focused on project evaluations and exploration for sediment hosted disseminated (“Carlin-type”) gold deposits situated in Southern China, although other styles of mineralisation are being assessed if they have multi-million ounce potential.

Caledon’s principal area of focus is Guangxi Province where it has negotiated joint ventures with The Geological Survey of Guangxi and is in the process of forming additional joint ventures with the Chinese National Gold Corporation.

Caledon has signed a joint venture agreement covering the Longtoushan Gold mine and 350 sq km’s of surrounding tenements in Guangxi Province as well as joint venture agreement covering various exploration areas under the control of The Geological Survey of Guangxi.

In addition, advanced exploration property acquisitions and joint ventures are being evaluated in Guangxi with The Chinese National Guangxi Gold Corporation and other joint ventures are under negotiation in Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces.

In order to exploit this opportunity, Caledon has assembled a team of geologists whose main focus over the past 15 years has been to identify and evaluate gold occurrences and deposits throughout South East Asia on behalf of several major mining companies.

Of the 300 plus gold occurrences and districts identified and screened over the years by Caledon’s team, five distinct gold districts have emerged as top-priority ranked targets, based on their geological similarities with the multi-million ounce gold districts found in the State of Nevada, U.S.A (“Carlin-districts”). The USGS has identified the so called “Golden Triangle”, consisting of the provinces in which the Company is focused (Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunna), as having similar style mineralisation to the Carlin deposits in Nevada.

To date, five highly ranked areas in Guangxi Province have been identified by Caledon’s team. Applications for mineral titles have been submitted on all five districts and joint ventures are being negotiated where applicable.

Recognising the need for foreign mining investment, in parallel with China’s entry into the World Trade Organisation, the country has adopted a number of sweeping changes that have recently been enacted in their mining legislation. In the country’s bid to attract foreign investment and mend the fractured structure of their mining industry, the Chinese government, through powers delegated to the provinces, allows foreign ownership of up to 90% in mineral titles and producing gold assets. In addition, various tax incentives exist to help foreign gold explorers and producers.

Perhaps the most relevant change recently enacted in China, involves the evolution towards complete transparency within the Chinese gold markets. Companies can now buy and sell gold on the Shanghai Gold Exchange, which quotes gold prices in line with the London Gold Fix rates. Additional mechanisms are currently in place to allow for repatriation of profits from Chinese-based, foreign-operated gold mining operations. Further enhancements are expected within the year.

The group now has all of the key primary ingredients in place in order to position the group for maximum returns.

Those key ingredients are:

highly experienced, South East Asia based technical management with proven exploration abilities,
acquisition / title lock on a number of properties hosting potential multi-million ounce disseminated gold deposits, and
an appropriate amount of financing in place allowing the group to conduct a meaningful first-pass exploration program within these districts.
Given the sweeping changes that China’s mining law has recently undergone, Caledon is well positioned to maximise gold exploration opportunities that exist in the country.

It is likely that many of the Carlin-type Au ore districts in China, when fully developed, could have resource potential comparable to the multi-1,000-tonne Au resource in northern Nevada.”

The Projects
Hengxian Gold Mine - The Hengxian project is a classic example of a sediment
hosted disseminated gold system ("Carlin-type"), with considerable exploration
potential. At Hengxian, gold is being mined in a north-east trending zone
measuring up to 3 kilometres long and up to 800 metres wide. Gold occurs in
steeply dipping, high grade feeder structures (> 4.5 g/t gold avg.), feeding
flat-lying moderate grade (1-4 g/t avg.) stratiform zones. To date, at least
four sub parallel feeder structures have been defined. The gold mineralisation
occurs on a major regional structure that can be traced for more than ten
kilometres away from the existing workings. Access and infrastructure in the
area is excellent - Hengxian is a two hours drive from Caledon's office base
situated in the Guangxi Provincial capital, Nanning.

Previous exploration has been almost entirely focused on shallow oxide zones.
Gold resources at Hengxian are reported to be 310,000 ounces (Inferred category)
grading approximately 4.6 g/t gold - with those resources having been defined by
only a limited amount of shallow focused drilling, concentrated on the surface
oxide zones (0-60 m depth). Exploration to date has only been focused on a small
- 2.5 kilometre long - portion of the entire 10 kilometre long structure,
initiated on obvious outcropping oxidised sulphides.

Summary results from drilling conducted on Hengxian Hill by Caledon's minority
partners, Taifu Mining, defining the near surface limits of the deposit, include
the following:

Section Hole Number Depth (m) Intercept (m) Grade g/t Au
44 ZK 14 13 50.6 2.02
435 ZK 4351 25 10.1 8.0
ZK 4351 49 14.5 5.03
43 ZK 432 45 41.4 6.44
ZK 5 49 31.0 8.8
ZK 19 102 27.0 4.0
425 ZK 251 50 42.5 3.91
ZK 4255 103 29.1 6.93
ZK 4252 72 12.8 6.16
ZK 4252 90 18.6 4.02
415 ZK 152 42 20.7 3.0
ZK153 65 13.9 4.68
41 ZK 16 10 11.1 3.79
ZK 411 33 24.6 4.0

Intervals between known areas of higher grade mineralisation carry significant
disseminated gold mineralisation, typical of such gold deposits. For example,
drill hole ZK19 reported a 27 metre wide interval grading 4.0 g/t gold,
occurring within a much wider down-hole interval reporting a width of 133 metres
grading 3.24 g/t Au.

Gaolong Gold Mine - Gold has been actively mined at Gaolong by Caledon's
minority partners, Guangxi Tianlin Gaolong Gold Mine Ltd Co for over 10 years.
At Gaolong, surface and limited underground mining can be traced in a
semi-continuous manner over a strike length in excess of three kilometres, with
mining widths averaging 10 to 30 m, to a maximum of 60 m wide.

The Gaolong mine itself is ranked in the top two gold producers in the province
and has been cited by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as having
distinct similarities to the 15+ million ounce Betze ore body situated in
Northern Nevada, USA (USGS OP 02-131).
Results from past drilling performed at shallow depths immediately adjacent to
zones being mined by the Chinese at Gaolong, are a testament to the bulk minable
nature of the Gaolong ore bodies themselves (i.e. Section #30 - 4.1 g/t over
10.8 m, 3.2 g/t over 33.4 m, 4.7 g/t / 31.3 m). The immediate extensions of
these open-ended zones will form the focus of gold exploration to be undertaken
in 2004.
In the 4th Quarter, 2003, Caledon reported results from a preliminary channel
sampling program at Gaolong, as part of the effort to identify drill targets on
the project. The following is a summary of results from this initiative:

Channel # Sampled Width Gold Grade
Channel 1 44 meters 2.5 g/t
Channel 2 10 meters 3.9 g/t
Channel 3 14 meters 2.4 g/t
Channel 4 28 meters 2.7 g/t
Channel 5 22 meters 2.3 g/t
Channel 6 12 meters 3.3 g/t

Badu Gold Mine - Small scale mining is in progress at the Badu Mine, situated 12
kilometres North East of the Gaolong mine. The Badu mining and exploration
tenements are included within the Gaolong master agreement. The GTGGML's
open-pit mining operations at Badu can be traced in a semi-continuous manner for
over four kilometres along strike, with mining widths averaging 20 to 40 m. Gold
is recovered in the heap leaching of oxide ores, with average head grades of 1
to 2 g/t gold. Caledon is aware of only 1-2 shallow drill holes having being
completed over the entire four kilometre strike length.

Mojiang Gold Mine - A letter of intent has been signed regarding Mojiang Gold
mine. Active mining has been underway at Mojiang since the late 1970s by the
Mojiang Mining Limited Company. The mining at Mojiang was based on reserves of
32 tonnes of gold (>900,000 oz) at a grade of 4-6 g/t Au. At present, the
majority of the gold mining operation is focused on gold production from open
pits and underground mining, with plant head grades consistently reporting above
4 g/t gold. To date, approximately 70% of the initial reserves have been mined.
At Mojiang, individual veins, averaging up to 12 metres wide, have been shown to
host grades in excess of 15 g/t. Individual veins sometimes exhibit bonanza
grades (in-excess of 30 g/t gold), typical of such systems. The veins are hosted
in sediments and acid volcanics, near the contact between thrusted Cambrian
sediments and metamorphosed ultra-mafic volcanics belonging to a regional scale
ophiolite complex, within the Red River Suture Zone.
Examples of diamond drill intercepts at Mojiang highlighted from the earlier
Chinese work include:

Section # Drill Hole Mineralised Intercept
Section 50 DDHZ50-6 41.62m @ 3.34 g/t
Section 51 DDHZ51-16 28.22m @ 4.89g/t
Section 52 DDHZ52-10 53.98m @ 2.72g/t
Section 40 DDHZ93-1 7.93m @ 13.67g/t
Section 40 DDHZ93-1A 8.39m @ 9.00g/t
Section 40 DDHZ94-3 12.35m @ 15.05g/t

Sue - lets hope so, 7p would give me a good week end! :o))

500,000 at 5.25 pence, looks like a buy to me from this morning when the offer was at 5.5 pence. There was nothing else which caused the offer price to go up...

If it's a sell, still good as the MMs paid a premium of 0.25 pence to the bid for that amount of stock.

Strong Buying reported towards close today...good buying volume returning again.

SueHelen I thought as I was driving this afternoon that I should have wished you good luck in your final exam - I hope it went well and wish you every success you deserve and of course pass on your expertise for us to all be 'successful'

The sequence on the bollinger bands is exiciting as we move into an upward trend. They were coming down first, got tight which is very good, straightened and now the lower one has ticked up today...This is a bullish sign of an uptend emerging.

Momentum and MACD still rising and at levels last seen at the beginning of April 2004.

Tick up, 5.25-5.75 pence now.

Hello SUE. Could you please take a look at BGY now!!!!! please, it has broken resistance at 12.20!!! I am very sorry to all for posting this, maybe you all can make some money with BGY too!!

I don't have the time till tomorrow evening Xmortal when I will duly have a look as I have stated before. I am trying to pack all my belongings at university today...it is my last ever day tomorrow until graduation.

Thanks Fonty.

There is practically no downside from these levels which I can assure everyone about which can be observed by looking at the charts and indicators. Our decline ended on May 18 since then the bollinger bands are turning in our favour...
We have room for a rise to 5.75-6.25 pence now...don't want anymore just yet otherwise our uptrend will be spoilt. This is what we want at the moment small increments...0.25 gain yesterday and 0.25 pence today...same will do nicely tomorrow. Then next week we should be looking at bigger gains...

Price closed at 5.25-5.75 pence. Tomorrow should be the last opportunity to buy these under 6 pence. Should get to 6 pence on the offer sometime tomorrow.

Sue Helen
Well done with surviving university - a sad time having to say good bye but no doubt you will be looking forward to Graduation - Congratulations - I am sure you have done really well and look forward to spending the summer over moneyam board with you.

All the best and look forward to watching Caledon bring in the Christmas bonus!

AIM punters get picky
By: Ken Gooding
Posted: '03-JAN-04 22:00' GMT Mineweb 1997-2004


The most spectacular share price performance among the AIM mining/exploration companies last year came from Caledon Resources (LSE:CDN) which did not even exist until March last year. It then raised money at 1p a share before gaining its AIM listing by backing in to a moribund IT company. At the close of trading on December 31 the Caledon shares were up by 1,300 percent to 14p.

Caledon is offering a combination of two presently fashionable factors - gold and China - and a good story that is being well promoted by Stephen Dattels, its executive chairman. Dattels is a Canadian lawyer well known in the mining sector because of his association with Barrick in that group's early days and later with International Gold Resources, sold to Ashanti in 1996.

Caledon is no overnight success story. Dattels raised 1.25m for Caledon last year after bringing together three geologists - Paul Ingram, Bruce Harris and George Salamis - who have been laying the ground work in Southern China for several years. At first they were working together for Cameco, the Canadian group, looking for "Carlin type" gold deposits in east Asia. Cameco eventually became disenchanted, particularly after the Bre-X scandal gave gold exploration a bad image in Canada, but also by the way the Chinese were using bureaucracy to block foreign investment in mining. Now the geologists' perseverance appears to be paying off as Caledon has been able to sign joint ventures with Chinese groups following changes in China's mining laws.

Salamis, 36, who is Caledon's managing director, says that, in simple terms, the field programmes his company has initiated in China will be focused on mine site exploration in and around existing, active gold mines where "open ended" reserves and resources have already been identified by Caledon's Chinese partners. "In our view, this exploration plan constitutes the best and lowest risk strategy to increase shareholder value by paving the way to multi-million ounce gold discoveries."

Dattels says Caledon does not want to get into big gold mining projects on its own account but intends to sell on to companies with mining expertise at the appropriate time. It should also be pointed out that, even after the huge percentage rise in Caledon's share price, its market value is still only 33m

----------------------------------------------------------------------

And now only 11.74m !!!!!!!!!!
If it sounded like a bargain at 33m then it's a TRIPPLE bargain NOW !!!!

Best bit ....

Salamis, 36, who is Caledon's managing director, says that, in simple terms, the field programmes his company has initiated in China will be focused on mine site exploration in and around existing, active gold mines where "open ended" reserves and resources have already been identified by Caledon's Chinese partners. "In our view, this exploration plan constitutes the best and lowest risk strategy to increase shareholder value by paving the way to multi-million ounce gold discoveries."

As mentioned after close yesterday we are here now on 6 pence on the offer, opportunity to buy under 6 pence should not come again....5.25-6.00 pence, up 4.5%.

.

This is in line with what I thought would happen today....next week should be more fun...this has gone up on hardly any buys yet. The upper bollinger band will start motoring up as early as next week.

The second 100,000 trade reported at 5.6 pence is also a BUY. Has appeared in the sell column as trades over 75,000 shares are delayed in reporting by 1 hour.

Signalling 4 BUY signals to 1 SELL.

Best-Charts confirms:

MACD as Bullish
Stochastic Oscillator as Bullish
Commodity Channel Index as Bullish
Directional Movement Index as Bullish
Price Rate of Change as Bullish
Percentage Price Oscillator as Bullish
On Balance Volume as Bullish
Price & Volume Trend as Bullish.

I take it it's 'Bullish then' Sue ;

Yes...all the pieces of the jigsaw are fitting together...

Level 2 : 3 v 1, 3 out of the 4 Market Makers bidding for stock...another tick up should be coming.
