"Legend Oil & Gas snaps up prized Canadian reserves at just $5.88 a barrel" - Don McShane - The McShane Letter

Legend Oil & Gas Ltd. (OTCBB: LOGL) is an oil and gas producer who just announced intent to acquire all Canadian production and reserves of a Calgary-based oil and gas producer that shifted its focus to other properties. According to the public record, this deal will send Legend Oil & Gas revenues rising more than ten-fold, literally overnight.

Company management locked in over $400 million in "proved and probable" reserves in the ground for a little more than 4 cents on the dollar.  This deal comes on top of existing Bakken Shale play and growing Kansas production.

What is more, the acquisition adds a quarter-million dollars in monthly oil and gas production to Legend Oil & Gas books and adds huge production upside in new development potential.

These are prime oil-producing assets with enormous development potential. Property locations include Peace River and Medicine River formations in Alberta... and every drop is light sweet crude! No oil sands in this deal.

In what can be considered a huge affirmation of the quality of the Company and the assets, the National Bank of Canada approved $6 million in financing for Legend Oil & Gas.  Buoyed in part by that institutional commitment to Legend Oil & Gas, private investors have moved in with an additional $4.4 million in funding.

Five reasons to take a closer look at Legend Oil & Gas:

1. Money is pouring in from private investors and top tier banking.

2. Proven reserves and production is soaring.

3. Management team has earned high marks from seasoned pros.

4. Cash flow projects to 20-fold growth near-term.

5. Key oil and gas properties now located in Eastern Kansas, Williston Bakken, Alberta Bakken, as well as Northern Alberta.

"Lone Star Gold is aggressively acquiring properties next to some of the world's most productive mining operations - including Goldcorp's El Sauzal Mine" - John Myers - The Myers' Letter

Lone Star Gold Inc. (OTCBB: LSTG) has an estimated $18.14 billion worth of untouched gold resources.  According to a 2009 geological survey and report, Lone Star Gold's La Candelaria property showed gold samples grading as high as 0.35 grams/ton and silver samples grading as high as 89 g/t, indicating potential reserves of 7,210,000 ounces of gold and 150,000,000 ounces of silver.

According to Goldcorp's most recent report, its El Sauzal gold mine is now approaching the end of its very profitable run. The expected decline in production is finally occurring. Gold production in 2010 was down to 152,100 ounces, off some 25%, or 51,700 ounces, from its 2009 total of 203,800 ounces. At that rate, production will dry up completely in just a few years. Goldcorp is running out of gold at its El Sauzal mine.

Lone Star Gold's La Candelaria project is right next door to Goldcorp's petering El Sauzal mine. Goldcorp would have an easy, inexpensive and fast start up if it takes over the La Candelaria project because it already has all the necessary infrastructure and machinery practically on site at its El Sauzal mine. It is a perfect match.

Now, Lone Star Gold recently has acquired 2 more projects:

1. The Tailings Project - this acquisition represents a resource of 1.2 million tons of mine tailings, which shows potential for silver recovery and additional by-products including gold, zinc and lead. Lone Star Gold is currently undertaking due diligence sampling and testing on this project.

2. The Ocampo Project - this 1,409 acres has great potential as LSTG intends to develop an exploration plan to further evaluate the project's potential mineral resource. Note that in 1996 a 1-ton shipment from here proved out favorable results for silver and gold deposits. This project is an ideal fit for Lone Star Gold's goal of rapidly becoming a mid-tier producer in the short term.

Lone Star Gold's acquisitions are contiguous with several of Goldcorp's projects including the El Sauzal Mine - the property that ignited Mexico's gold frenzy.

The Information is Only as Good as Its Source

Have you heard of the movie "The Boiler Room", or possibly seen it? While it may not be the greatest piece of cinema, it does serve one valuable purpose. It is a realistic look at the tactics of a fraudulent operation, which may occur in the realm of MicroCap stocks.

How realistic is it? The writer/director actually interviewed at a "boiler room" firm and the movie has been praised by SEC regulators. The warning to be found in this movie is be sure of where you get your investment information from, particularly when dealing with unregulated MicroCap and SmallCap companies.

Many small companies are exempt from filing reports with the SEC. This lack of reliable, readily available information can open the door to fraud. Allowing for the manipulation of stock prices to the detriment of investors.

Here are some methods of disseminating false information:

• Questionable Press Releases - Releasing "news" containing lies about a company's sales, acquisitions, revenue projections, or new products and services.

• Internet Fraud - Distribution of junk e-mail or "spam" over the Internet, or the use of bulletin boards and chat rooms, to tout a company and/or provide "inside" information. A common method is to have the recipient believe they were not intended to receive the information and therefore are in possession of some "exclusive tip".

• Boiler Rooms and Cold Calling - Dishonest brokers set up "boiler rooms" where they use a small army of high-pressure salespeople to make cold calls to as many potential investors as possible. They are sometime selling stock in "shell" or non-existent companies or performing a "Pump & Dump" (see below).

• Paid Promoters - Many MicroCap and SmallCap companies pay stock promoters to assist in their companies promotion via investment newsletters, research reports, or radio and television shows. This is an acceptable practice and when properly done, the investors get the benefit of the research done by the promoter. Reputable promoters only place their recommendation on companies they believe in, as their value to the investor is only as good as the companies they promote.

The federal securities laws require promoters to disclose who paid them, the amount, and the type of payment. But, many fraudsters fail to do so and mislead investors into believing they are receiving independent and unbiased advice. Usually this advice is fraudulent, meaning to deceive the investor, and only benefit the promoter and the promoted company. 

The people behind this misinformation are running fraud schemes. Two of the most popular are: Read more....
