This
five-day, five-city road show was organised by Omega Investment Research
(Pty) Ltd of South Africa in association with WellStar Capital Ltd of
Canada on behalf of six of WellStar Capital’s junior mining clients: Donner
Minerals Ltd, Golden Peaks Resources Ltd, International Taurus Resources
Inc, Robex Resources Inc, Scorpio Mining Corporation, and Tagish
Lake Gold Corp.
Potential private and institutional investors, mining analysts and
financial advisors were invited to attend a half day of corporate
presentations showcasing this group of very promising Canadian emerging
miners. The participating companies, whether producers or
explorers, have first-class projects with considerable potential that
are likely to take them to the next tier.
Delegates
to the presentations heard about a multi-million ounce silver project in
Mexico
, nickel exploration in Northern Quebec, a gold project down the valley
from Sadiola, a project in
Canada
that expands on an area that has already produced 4.1 million ounces of
gold, an open-pit gold project in
Mali
,
West Africa
and more. Many of the participating companies have already
received funding to a degree that has allowed them to significantly
advance their projects, and many have multi-million ounce potential.
Each
morning of presentations was followed by an intimate luncheon allowing
delegates to meet the company representatives and pursue more specific
discussions.
The
audiences showed great interest in the participating companies and the
presented projects, and a number of the participating companies secured
financing.
Paris
in particular was a highly successful event and although audiences
varied in size by city, but Omega was sufficiently encouraged by the
event and the participation that we will be using the road show model in
the future and similar investor relations road shows will feature
regularly on the Omega schedule.
