So wie ich meine zu verstehen, geht es im Wesentlichen um Formulierungen, die unklar sind und nicht hinlänglich zwischen Vermutung und realen Ergebnissen unterscheiden. Also keine "bad" news, aber rechtmäßig sauberer Dämpfer für die Stimmung. Vielleicht kann jemand besser ... Hier die letzte Firmenerklärung (aus news in TMX Money siehe #17 ): Alabama Graphite to Clarify Technical Disclosure
(via Thenewswire.ca)
Vancouver, Canada - February 18, 2013 - Alabama Graphite Corp. ("Alabama Graphite" or the "Company") (CNSX: ALP) is issuing this news release to clarify disclosure relating to the Coosa Graphite Project in Alabama, USA (the "Coosa Project") as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission. The Company specifically refers to statements made in its corporate presentation titled "Alabama Graphite Company - A New Beginning for Graphite Production in the US" (the "Corporate Presentation") (which was previously posted on the Company's website) and also a Research Initiation Report dated January 24, 2013 published by Ubika Research (the "Ubika Report") and the accompanying Ubika Research news release dated January 24, 2013 (the "Ubika News Release"). Disclosure in the Company's Corporate Presentation that the Coosa Project has an "extremely large, potentially a multi-decade resource" was restricted by Canadian regulations known as National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") because no resource classification was determined, and non-compliant with NI 43-101 because no tonnes and grade were estimated at this time for any resource. The Company retracts prior disclosure implying that it has a resource estimate at the Coosa Project and advises readers not to rely on such statements as they may continue to be found in the public domain. The Company retained Ubika Research to provide research and marketing support services to the Company, and Ubika prepared on its own initiative the Ubika Report, which was disseminated without the final authorization of the Company. Both the Ubika Report and Ubika News Release (collectively, the "Ubika Disclosure") contained disclosure which was not compliant with, or otherwise may have triggered the filing of a technical report under, NI 43-101 and were not authored by a "qualified person" in accordance with NI 43-101. The Ubika Disclosure referred to tonnage and grade estimates at the Coosa Project without providing a resource classification and further disclosed a net asset valuation for the Coosa Project which includes assumptions about recovery rate, commodity price, taxes, capital costs and operating costs, which disclosure was non-compliant with NI 43-101 because it omitted certain mandatory cautionary language. The Ubika Disclosure also estimated the Company's value on a per share basis, which is not permitted under the Securities Act (British Columbia). The Company regrets that the aforementioned disclosure was made by Ubika and it disassociates itself from the Ubika Disclosure. The Company has not yet had a qualified person complete a resource estimate for the Coosa Project. As previously disclosed, the Company has commissioned Metal Mining Consultants, Inc. (formerly, Scott E. Wilson Consulting) ("MMC") of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, to prepare a mineral resource estimate for the Coosa Project. The Company has to date received assay results on 27 of the 54 holes drilled in the grid. The first assay results from the sonic drill program were recently received by the Company (which results will be announced shortly). The Company is awaiting receipt of additional assay results and is to submit further samples for assay, and the Company anticipates MMC to be able to begin preparing the resource estimate within the next couple of months once all assay results are available. The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Dana C. Durgin, a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. For further information, please contact:
