Extracts From Chairmans statement in last finals of 10th FEB 04
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Group was formed on completion of a transaction in which the assets of
Shambhala Gold Limited and shares in Skaergaard Minerals Corporation were
acquired by Galahad Capital plc, a company quoted on the AIM market of the
London Stock Exchange. This transaction was announced on 29 October 2003 and
completed on 23 December 2003. The name was changed to Galahad Gold plc on
completion.
Galahad is now a sizeable mining and development company which has the potential
to benefit from opportunities in the precious metals resource sector. It remains
Galahad's aim to own properties with resources containing a total of at least
50m ounces of precious metals gold equivalent. To date Galahad has acquired two
mining projects:
•A 21.9% shareholding (33.25% on a fully diluted basis) in Northern
Dynasty Minerals Limited which has the right to acquire 100% of the Pebble
project in Alaska USA; and
•A 100% shareholding in Skaergaard Minerals Corporation, which owns the
Skaergaard project in Greenland.
Your board believes that the Skaergaard project provides a highly-leveraged
exposure to any increase in the price of gold, platinum and palladium and the
Pebble project provides similar exposure to any increase in the price of gold
and copper.

rightly or wrongly, and time will tell, i have just taken my profits here and will now sit back and watch ..... while it is possible that sp will soar on Monday with the start of dealings in Uramin, I have my doubts ...... The Uramin news is already well broadcast, and therefore imo already discounted (and more?) in GLA's sp.
no one ever went broke realising a profit, and it would not surprise me in the least to see GLA falling on Monday as the T10/20 and similar traders get out ..... if they start getting out in any numbers, woe betide trying to cash in your own holdings, for MMs may well not want to know.

soultrader.....wat u mean about 2008....so u plan to hold gla!!!! Ten bagger is abit optimistic? I wonder what CYNIC has to say to that? But I guess if it happens I wont be complaining? UMN not yet... GLA is better bet - as u beenfit indirectly from UMN appreciation.. risk is diversified!

UMN may have started trading today, but no trades reported at all.
GLA is (a) not an oil company and JKX is, and I afraid to say (b) is not rermotely in the same quality league as JKX.
As far as I can see reading the history, GLA has a lot of bridges to mend before the market will raise them from penny-stock levels

soul trader, which other ones are u in for long term? If you dont mind me asking. I was in SEY but left in March, for issues not related to the sp at all. Even thought I bought at 19p and saw it rise, rise, rise!
View welcomed

soul trader, ,,,,,, have u seen UMN!!!! BOy GLA will increase next week for sure.. the incresae will higher proportionately then what we saw with UMT. i mean more than 30% in the short term!

confess I am very happy to have taken a respectable profit out of GLA today after only a few days holding ..... If I was premature, so be it, but I was concerned/conscious that sp had not moved all day and therefore may indicate that T10/20 trades and similar are likely to sell shortly, taking the sp sharply lower

What Price Befits Galahad Gold?
By Stephen Clayson
28 Apr 2005 at 10:23 PM EDT
LONDON (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Galahad Gold [AIM:GLA], has embarked upon something of a public relations offensive this week, contending that its stock is significantly undervalued by the market. But how well does this claim stand up to scrutiny?
The companys primary asset is its stake in Northern Dynasty Minerals [TSX-V: NDM, AMEX: NAK], which stands at 23.4% fully diluted. In turn, NDMs claim to prominence is its right to purchase 100% of the Pebble Project, a potentially very large copper-gold-molybdenum deposit in Alaska that is slated to reach the bankable feasibility stage this year.
In addition, Galahad holds 100% of the Skaergaard palladium and the Malmjberg molybdenum deposits in Greenland. Both the palladium and the molybdenum resources are thought to be sizable, and the deposits both contain quantities of other valuable metals. To boot, company is considering the acquisition of further resources in politically stable locations.
Galahads Chairman Ian Watson and its Finance Director Jim Slater profess to be puzzled as to Galahads current market capitalisation of 76m, but there are multifarious reasons to suggest that the market may have valued Galahad fairly.
First of all, the three current projects are still far from certain to reach production and realise any actual profit. NDMs Pebble is generally thought to offer the greatest likelihood, but even this is not definite in technical terms, and the project may face a number of obstacles to its development, including the objections of both environmentalists and indigenous Alaskans. Some of the latter are behind the project, but some, rather ominously, are not. In addition, the projects gargantuan capital cost and logistical challenges may ultimately prove stumbling blocks. The former and its portent of likely significant dilution may also be weighing on the shares that are presently traded.
The two projects in Greenland, while promising, are still relatively early stage, and Galahad is not being particularly expeditious in progressing them further, particularly with regard to Skaergaard. The management claims that it is in no rush to develop the projects, preferring instead to wait for the commodities super cycle, in which they are fervent believers, to proceed further and improve the margins on molybdenum and palladium.
The company designates part of the rationale for its formation as providing a way to play the Chinese growth story indirectly, and its management feel that the market is not according sufficient value to the extent of Galahads leverage to this trend.
But what they fail to justify is why Galahad is more leveraged to China than many other putative and current miners of industrial & precious metals, particularly given the conjectural nature of the properties in Greenland and to a lesser extent the one in Alaska.
The management assert that analysts and the market in general have failed to take account of the effect that the industrialisation China is and will continue to have on commodities markets, but while there may be isolated pockets of ignorance, this view generally seems rather implausible.
While the existence of a sustainable strong market in many commodities is probable given the likely demand growth that will be derived from the Chinese economy over the coming decades, it is doubtful that Galahads lack of developmental urgency, for which there is scant compelling rationale, will win the company many fans in the market. Even if the projects do eventually live up to their billing, the eschewal of a rapid asset development strategy leaves tempted investors able to wait and buy into the company once its potential becomes clearer, and to do so without significant penalty.
What generally gets investors most excited is the prospect of production and consequent tangible cash flow, more so than untested potential. Though companies with little more than untested potential to their name abound in todays market, those of them with more focus and alacrity about them might just make more attractive investments than Galahad.
While biding ones time developmentally can pay dividends, unless fully justified it merely injects uncertainty into a company, and can also be read as dissimulation. In addition, the size of the deposits in which Galahad is involved makes for a very long lead time, translating to a long period before profits are realised and within which things can go awry. The Malmjberg project is the most proximate to tangible output, slated at 2.5 years away under a preliminary proposed development plan. But there are other companies in the market today that offer better prospects of timely real cash flow.
Furthermore, Galahads management say that the company would prefer to involve a proven operator in any projects reaching that stage rather than managing them internally, and while this can be a sound idea in some cases it can also add extra complications.
Galahad is likely to spin off its International Molybdenum subsidiary, which holds the Malmjberg project and a second exploration licence in Greenland that is awaiting ratification, into a separate listed vehicle that would fund a bankable feasibility study on Malmjberg. The exact nature of the deal and the stake that Galahad will retain has yet to be finalised, but a dedicated management team might allow the molybdenum business to progress more rapidly, and the funds that would accrue to Galahad from the divestment could make it more likely to make progress with its other assets, though they will also reduce the exposure of the company to any upside in the molybdenum assets.
All that said, the three projects in which Galahad is currently involved may have the potential for practicable, truly large scale exploitation. In addition, influential mining fund managers RAB Capital have a substantial stake in the company, as do the Rothschild family, and Galahad boasts Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein as its house broker. But these endorsements are largely meaningless without the concurrence of a greater portion of the wider market, which Galahad believes it is lacking.
There may well be more Galahad bulls out there than merely the companys own management, aforementioned notable shareholders and its house broker, the latter of which rates Galahad as a buy at anything up to 25p. Given that the share is currently trading at only 10.75p, then now may be the time for the bulls to act on the basis of their optimism.

jameel, that article is a year old now. Since then the Greenland project has hit problems, there may still be opposition to Pebble but you now have Uramin.
Difficult to judge what market cap should be with various ups and downs.
On my watchlist though.

and though commodity prices have rocketed, i find it very hard to belive that at best there will not be a sharp correction, though the timing is now impossible to judge .... certainly prices cannot continue to go up and up ...... remember the dotcom bubble?
