Iofina is the holding company of a group of companies involved in the exploration and production of iodine and natural gas which have been discovered on acreages which the Group acquired, or is currently acquiring, in the state of Montana, USA. The Company has named its discovery the Atlantis Prospect. The natural gas co-exists with formation water containing relatively high levels of dissolved iodide. Iodine is a rare element, which the US currently imports to meet growing domestic demand from pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturers. The leases held by the Group give it the right to explore, drill and produce both iodine and natural gas. The Directors believe that the dual revenue streams of iodine and gas, together with the relatively low cost extraction process, will create an attractive business model with substantial strategic value.

Iofina was incorporated on 15 March 2005 in the UK and registered in England and Wales. In January 2006 the Group acquired the entire issued share capital of Iofina Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Iofina Natural Gas Inc., each of which is a Colorado corporation, with the objective of becoming a low cost producer of iodine and natural gas. Iofina Chemical Inc., a Colorado corporation, was created as the specialty chemical division of Iofina Inc. in May 2006. The Groups Atlantis Prospect is located between two of the most significant biogenic gas fields in North America, which have so far produced a total of 6.5 Tcf, valued at over US$50 billion at current prices. Since its incorporation the Group has steadily acquired over 30,000 net acre land position in northern Montana, on which a major aquifer containing natural gas has been discovered in the Eagle and Virgelle formations, sedimentary formations of Cretaceous age lying at depths of 1,000 to 1,500 ft below the surface. This unconventional, shallow natural gas resource can only be produced in conjunction with large volumes of formation water, and consequently the industry has previously struggled to commercialise gas discoveries in the area. The formation water is an unusual sodium chloride brine with high concentrations of iodide but relatively low levels of dissolved salts (approximately 6,500 mg/L), and has no contaminants or hydrocarbons other than methane, thereby reducing processing costs. Iofina intends to produce gas along with water, but to also extract the high levels of iodine which the formation water contains.

In addition to its acreage position, the Group currently owns four pilot wells, an iodine processing facility building and the Iofina Express #1 pipeline which ultimately connects into the TransCanada Pipeline, a major transcontinental gas pipeline serving markets in the north-eastern United States.

Iofina celebrates second deal

By Neil Hume and Bryce Elder

Published: April 15 2010 03:00 | Last updated: April 15 2010 03:00

Iofina rose 27.5 per cent to 42p yesterday on news of a second iodine deal.

The Aim-listed company has developed low-cost drilling technology that extracts iodine, which is used in medicine and the chemicals industry, from brine at the wellhead.

Its latest contract is with Nasdaq-listed Warren Resources in California and, according to broker Mirabaud Securities, should produce 120 tonnes of raw iodine per year. "Iofina's second third-party brine deal provides evidence of repeatability, and as new deals are added, the stock should gradually migrate into an earnings and cash-flow story," the broker said, reiterating its "buy" rating and 85p target price.

Iofina (LSE:IOF)31/08/2010 Fourth third party contract signed

Iofina has signed its fourth and largest third party iodine collection agreement since March this year that is expected to increase potential brine streams from 41,500bpd to 62,500bpd. Current production on line stands at 12,000bpd yielding 33-38mt of raw iodine annually.
The agreement has the potential to more than double the production base with a staged development process of up to four WET Pod units each capable of handling 6,500bpd delivering iodine of 123-143tonnes.
The new site currently disposes of around 21,000bpd of brine water containing 140ppm of iodine, significantly more than Atlantis at circa 65ppm. Initially a single pod will be deployed follwed up by a second after 30 days and the final two 30 days later. The first two units could together yield 76-88tonnes and bringing in the other two could add a further 47-54tonnes annually.

Conclusion: This latest deal should boost the companys production base substantially and could help give it further momentum to broaden its production base and allow it to further evolve and grow. Significant contracts like this are major successes for the company and should others follow the step change in earnings and revenue can add substantial value. The company continues to push on a number of fronts to secure more brine stream treatment opportunities that it has identified.

Been ticking up gently for a few weeks and now threatening to breakout. Great potential. I'm in this one for the long term, but dyor etc.

Starting to motor again following today's news.

Some big news brewing here, broke through the 46p resistance yesterday and full steam ahead again today.

Heading towards the 60s now - still time to get on board before 17th September re. RNS out this morning.

Investec raised target price from 64p tp 70p following the RNS this morning.

Shares in short supply now - next stop 70p imo,dyor etc.

Up another 5p this morning. Presentations tomorrow - and then this could get really interesting. Investec's target of 70p beginning to look very modest.

Healthy retrace this morning, small tree shake, but not many sellers around - despite the best efforts of a shorter nutter on another bulletin board. Ended the day a very small plus after a steady stream of buys from around 10.30am. Which suggests that existing holders are not going to sell and some, like myself, are going to top-up on any small dips. A lot of mileage in this. Ride the winners, dump the losers, as they say in the share business.

Having another go at breaking through 70p again.

Investec's target of 70p didn't take long to reach and predictions of this reaching 90p by the end of the year are now looking distinctly feasible. Long term hold imo.
