GALAHAD GOLD - a strong mining Growth share of 2004 ? (GLA)

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.

FINANCIAL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

•The acquisition of Shambhala Gold Limited and shares in Skaergaard
Minerals Corporation was successfully completed.

•As part of this acquisition, Galahad Gold plc acquired a 21.9%
shareholding (33.25% fully diluted) in Northern Dynasty Minerals Limited, a
Canadian quoted company with an option over 100% of the Pebble project in
Alaska.

•Northern Dynasty Minerals Limited recently announced that the Pebble
project contained 26.5m ounces of gold and 16.5 billion pounds of copper,
making it the largest gold deposit in North America in terms of contained
gold and the second largest copper deposit in North America in terms of
contained copper.

•The successful 2003 development programme at the 100%-owned Skaergaard
deposit in Greenland.

Interesting article all the same, Jameel. One would hope that commodities prices have now risen sufficiently to persuade management to come out of its shell. otherwise they might miss the high tide altogether.

PS Interestingly, although the current "Shares" mag's review of miners confirms the long, drawn-out timetable, it also points out the huge size of GLA's resources compared with other miners out there. The potential is huge, IMO, but I wouldn't be prepared to bet the bank on this one just yet.

jameel06 - 22 Apr 2006 18:10 - 66 of 81

Which mag is that? Soultrader.;..... what you mean 'wouldnt be prepared to bet the bank....'

PS I should have taken your line of buying UMN....regretting a little!

cynic - 22 Apr 2006 18:23 - 67 of 81

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?

soul traders - 22 Apr 2006 18:55 - 68 of 81

Jameel, Shares magazine is the mag produced by the people who own this website. Or do you mean which issue - it's the one dated 20-26th April.

By "not betting the bank" I mean not putting a large proportion of my wealth into the one stock.

I haven't bought UMN as I am concerned that it is too expensive right now and will do what most resources companies' shares do after IPO, which is to drop, drop and then drop some more. I may buy if it looks cheap enough one day (because part of my strategy involves trying to pick companies that look to be clearly undervalued), but I tend to think that pure uranium plays are limited because the deposits typically aren't big enough to create billion-pound companies and the ten- or twenty-baggers that I'd like to be investing in. Thus UMN would have to drop significantly to attract my attention. I may be wrong - any disagreements are welcome to be posted on the UMN thread I created yesterday.

jameel06 - 22 Apr 2006 20:00 - 69 of 81

soul trader. I looked at the companies u are in. It seems most of them have had their good times....other than BLR? I mean they sp's seemed to have appreciated over last 12 months

I wonder howmuch is already on the share price after the floatation of UraMIN where GLA had (17%) before the flotation,
a good rise on the 1st day of trading last Friday ...........

Daily Telegraph -- Market report - 22 Apr'06
By Yvette Essen

First day dealings began in UraMin, a mining company based in Namibia which has Sir Sam Jonah
as non-executive chairman. Sir Jonah is also executive chairman of oil and gas explorer Equator Exploration.
Shares were placed at 68p and closed at 92p.

Master RSI - 23 Apr 2006 20:41 - 71 of 81

The other stock with a good % holder NMD had a few good days lately with a rise of 6.9% last Friday and most likely looking for new highs soon by the way metal prices are going

Master

I made another post on the advfn forum (whodaman), in your fantasy portfolio for 2006, regarding GLA

jameel06 - 23 Apr 2006 23:46 - 73 of 81

Master RSI - thanks for the info, especially press..... You have a valid point re. UMN already in GLA's sp. But probably it was....but since umn has done really well at close, maybe there will be more in the tank for gla. see what happens this week! I am a holder of gla! so lets see

soul traders - 25 Apr 2006 20:24 - 74 of 81

FWIW, Nickel news from today's FT.com:

Nickel rose 3.5 per cent to a record $20,000 a tonne as traders said that hedge funds were betting on disruptions to output from Incos Sudbury facility in Canada, where wage negotiations are ongoing and the current labour contract runs out in mid-May. Inco has also forecast a 10,000 tonne global nickel deficit this year compared to an 11,000 tonne surplus in 2005.

Just did a bit of a switch as I think that this is going to take a while to mature - sold half my holding at a modest profit and bought another chunk of RDG, whose price rise over the last few months has been fairly impressive.

soul traders - 22 May 2006 15:11 - 76 of 81

Ouch! Results out today and the news is very mixed to say the least.

I am glad I sold all of my holding in GLA a couple of weeks ago. The Skaergaard write-off in today's results is a bit of a shocker!

I read in the results that "it is unlikely that production will commence at Pebble before 2012."

Malmbjerg (InterMoly) is also at least a couple of years away from the serious groundwork taking place, although the Pre-Feasibility Study is now underway.

I'm asking myself what GLA is planning to do for spending money, since they have little cash at present.

One plus point is that GLA's investments in other companies have appreciated considerably. Against this is the fact that these companies are also at early stages, plus the current uncertainty in the stock market.

As a current non-shareholder, this one is staying on my "watch and wait" list. The SP could get cheaper if we have a quiet summer and/or the current unsettled conditions persist and could alsotake a while to recover.

In the near term I would think that there is better value to be had elsewhere. I apologise for changing my mind, but a lot has changed in this company's prospects.

Still, WDIK, PDYOR, etc.

cynic - 22 May 2006 16:07 - 77 of 81

Strewth! Glad I at least managed to avoid this one! ..... Pal of mine was commending it to me a couple of months back ..... I recollect making and actually taking a small profit ..... What chance for this sort of stock, when quality gold shares like POG, and I am sure a bundle of SA mining stocks, take an absolute hammering.

soul traders - 22 May 2006 16:15 - 78 of 81

Yup - my Ridge Mining is taking a walloping as well, although I'm not convinced it's entirely justified.

GLA will be a bargain one day. IMHO. Maybe.

Cluff Mining got a good comment in recent "Shares" mag - am watching it. SP down 25% in a month . . .

Big Ted - 08 Mar 2007 14:03 - 79 of 81

after last years shake out, this one appears to be bouncing back strongly, is that a golden cross i see two months ago...? seems to have strong momentum behind it...

soul traders - 08 Mar 2007 14:08 - 80 of 81

BT, today's rise could be related to the fact that GLA has a stake in IMY (if memory serves), which has received a takeover bid.

hangon - 08 Mar 2007 17:07 - 81 of 81

Yes it's nearly wholly owned by GLA - odd then that the sp rise today is only 5% whilst IMY rose 50% - this may be the effect of punters buying an illiquid stock - better to buy GLA...glad I did, although I'm not at all sure about our Management - why did they sell-off another investment? Seems GLA is more willing to do Deals, rather than get the shovels out.
