News update from Western Wind Energy

"Western Wind Takes Delivery of US $12 Million of Solar Panels and Secures US Cash Grant"

WND.V signed a Module Supply Agreement ("MSA") for 42MW DC (30MW AC) for its Yabucoa Project located in Puerto Rico which will be repaid by US $12M project finance proceeds led by Rabobank. The Solor panels will be received prior to the Dec.31,2011. This transaction allows for the 30% US Federal Tax Free Cash Grant ~US $45M and qualifies for an addition US $64M of Puerto Rican investment tax credits.

Jeff Ciachurski, President of Western Wind Energy states, "this is a monumental accomplishment to secure the cash grant before the expiry date and together with the Puerto Rican ITC, add another $109 million of direct cash benefit to the Western Wind shareholders. Together with the previous $100 million received and/or about to be received from Kingman and Windstar respectively, this brings the aggregate amount of cash grants, tax credits, and tax shield benefits totaling over a half a billion dollars. It will only be a matter of time before Bay Street analysts realize the full value of Western Wind Energy. This is another gold medal performance by the Western Wind team, to close off 2011. Western Wind Energy wishes all of its stakeholders a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012."

How are coarse gold veins formed? (BCG.V)

Nearly all coarse and fine placer gold originates from the erosion of primary hard rock gold deposits. Some placers are re-concentrated from older placers, but in the past, some time these came from primary deposits. A small amount of coarse gold has probably resulted from secondary enrichment processes, but the majority grew as a primary deposit from circulating hot water solutions under pressure – these are often called hard rock deposits

If water is hot enough, pressure high enough, and the chemistry is right (acids, and other elements like sulfur are present), then gold, quartz and other things can dissolve and go into solutions. The solutions move by natural convection (hot rises). As the solutions rise, the water cools as they move farther from the heat source in the ground and closer to the surface. The sulfides become less soluble and they come out of solution to follow natural fault zones to form veins (long and narrow plane). Veins are also commonly formed at the meeting of two different rock types. Sometimes a zone of broken or fractured rocks can develop a series of small parallel veins.

The small veins were difficult for old time miners to find and mine profitably. Therefore, with the new modern technology, geologists' jobs were made a lot simpler - larger areas can be covered and residual placers can be found quicker.


Some coarse gold veins districts that were found:

Goldfield, Nevada 1903 - the most productive gold vein district in Nevada - 5M oz of gold

Randsburg, South California - over 1M oz of gold

Kofa placers of Yuma county

North Star and King of Arizona

Is this a Santa Claus rally?

A Santa Claus rally is a surge in price of stocks that occurs in the month of December, closer to Christmas but before New Year's Day. The rally is an anticipation of a rise in stock price in January due to an injection of additional funds into the market which is known as the January effect. The rally can also be due to additional trades that must be completed before year end for accounting and tax purposes.

The rally was sparked by the news that the Fed and 5 other Central banks will rescue the system by making it cheaper for banks to borrow money. The holiday season shopping starts off strong with black friday and cyber monday leading with the sales due the deep discounts in products. The rally spreaded overseas causing the Asian markets to soar (Hang Seng +1012.91 - 19002.26; Nikkei 225 +162.77 - 8597.38)
