Red Rock ar epresenting in London this week!
The directors of Hambledon Mining (AIM: HMB), Forte Energy (AIM / ASX: FTE) and Red Rock Resources (AIM: RRR) will be presenting:
Thursday the 7th July 2011, Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel, 35 Charles Street, Mayfair, W1J 5EB (Charles Suite)
FREE registration - http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/register/event_details/117
This weeks forum is one with a twist as we hand over the lectern to one of the mining industrys leading opinion formers. Fairfaxs John Meyer was voted top small-cap mining analyst four years in a row in the late noughties, so it is fair to say he is one of the few gurus of the sector. When he speaks others listen - and so should you. He will be at the Chesterfield Mayfair Hotel on Thursday to impart his wisdon on just what makes a great mining investment and of course hell tell us how to spot the duds. For us at Fairfax, there are a series of dos and don'ts in the mining sector, he told the Daily Mail recently. We don't finance people with gold Rolex watches, leather jackets or shiny suits. We don't finance shoes with tassels or men with man bags. These are the golden rules for mining analysts and woe betide anyone who breaks them.
The presentations will start at 6:00pm and finish at approx 8:00pm. After the presentations are complete the directors will also be available to take questions during a free canapand wine reception. Details on the presenting companies can be found below.
This event is suitable for the following:
Sophisticated & private investors, private client brokers, fund managers, financial institutions, hedge funds, buy & sell side analysts and journalists.
The event is not suitable for people pursuing commercial opportunities.
If you have any problems registering or queries please email events@proactiveinvestors.com.

Late RNS:-
RED ROCK RESOURCES PLC
Update - Columbia and Greenland
Dated: 7 July 2011
Red Rock Resources plc ("Red Rock" or the "Company"), the gold mining and exploration company with projects in Kenya, and Colombia, exploration in Greenland, and interests in steel feed, uranium, and rare earths reports on developments in Columbia and Greenland.
Colombia
At the El Limon mine in Colombia, the improvement in production noted in the first half of June has been broadly maintained. Preliminary figures, subject to revision, show average daily output from the mine for the month of June of 52.9 tons per day, with mill output for the month averaging 46.7 tons per day. The grade of material delivered to the plant was, subject to revision, 9.9 grams per ton.
The mill operated 28 days during the month, and the mine 26 days. Gold sales for the month of June 2011 were 8.485 kg (273 oz).
The Company expects steady improvement at both the mine and the plant as new equipment is brought into use, new technical staff recruited, and working practices improved.
Greenland
Exploration has begun in Greenland with 3 teams of geologists traversing along lines 800m apart within the licenses. From the base at Camp 1, the crew has collected and tested samples using a portable Niton SL3 Gold XRF analyser over an extensive area of float material. These have yielded encouraging grades of 30% to 40% Fe in course-grained magnetite. An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey is due to begin imminently which will last between 8 to 14 days (depending on weather conditions) which, when combined with field observations, will aid in target generation for drilling in 2012.
The teams have now moved to Camp 2, as illustrated in the Company's announcement of 22 June 2011.

I think the point is its a staging post cynic, not the final destination. And its twice as much as last month. They are supposed to be installing partial mechanisation which they have not done yet. When they do this you should see bigger jumps. Same goes for the improved working practices.

Greenland news is promising, no doubt about that. They only started there last week.

Dear Shareholders and Colleagues,
You may have seen that we have announced some medium-term borrowings:
The provider is Cornhill. As we understand their business model, they look for high net worth individuals or other entities that may be interested in combining the safety and limited downside of secured lending, with a better return than those currently available from banks, gilts, or traded corporate bonds.
They do the due diligence, and offer the possibility of participation in a portfolio of corporate notes, so diversifying and potentially reducing risk to their clients. In some cases, the instruments offer convertibility or partial convertibility to enhance upside potential.
The interest rate on this loan is quite high at 14%. However, there are advantages for us in this instrument. First, we have further diversified our funding sources, which we regard as useful in itself. Also we have established our ability for the first time to access debt as well as equity, which may open the door to further diversification of funding sources on more competitive terms in future. We have also been able to provide for more than short term funding for our projects, which aids planning. And the structure is open-ended, enabling us to make further drawdowns under the existing documentation. And we have avoided issuing shares or selling shares at what we regard as unfavourable prices.
Most important however is the consideration that our stock is volatile. If the share price were not volatile, a medium-term high interest bullet loan with the possibility of early redemption might not be an attractive instrument.
But see the one year volatility on our stock price:
Quite apart from our subjective belief that the price of Red Rock is depressed and will rise, so that it is better that if we have to issue shares we do so at some future date, there is the objective fact that the volatility of our stock price is high. There is no compelling reason to expect this to change in the near future. The loan instrument, if looked at as a two year option for us to issue stock to repay it, is significantly undervalued as an option.
If our stock price volatility were low, this would not be so.
That is not to say that we are committed to repay the debt by issue of new Red Rock shares. We might do so by sale of assets (and if by sale of Jupiter shares, the same logic current undervaluation, and/or high volatility would apply and would be a further justification of our approach). Or we might do so from other revenues. But the prudent base case is that we may have to repay by share issuance.
I hope that this background will answer any questions you may have.
Andrew

Switch your money to Cornhill then, if they can manage to lend out at 14%!!! In today's market, that is a bad deal for RRR, imo, with lots of 'ifs & buts' attached to RRR's future financial strategy.

haven't really read it as i don't like or hold RRR any more, but 12 over base and then saying it's not that bad sounds like a bad snow job to me and i see no reason at all why any of you should want to hold let alone buy

Its quite a high rate (as AB himself states in the email above), but preferable to more dilution at this price.
cynic, if you don't read RRR rns's then how are you in a position to make a statement about whether people should buy/hold or not? I suggest you start reading a few if you want to offer a credible opinion on this stock.

so when are you guessing lazarus will rise from the grave, as at the moment, he looks to be snuggling down ever deeper?
