COMMERCE RESOURCES CP
Weekly Commentary

Our system posted BUY-IF . The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 11.21.2008 (14) days ago, when the stock price was 0.2000 . Since then CCE has fallen -15.00% .

The BUY-IF alert is still valid. A confirmation was denied, but the pattern is not rejected yet since the past week was not a long black candlestick one. The market is currently testing your patience. Continue to do your homework by digesting all available information around.

The final judgment about the evolving pattern waits for the second week. Either the alert will be confirmed by one of the valid confirmation criteria or the bullish alert will be void and null.

We are posting daily the current confirmation status, but It is still your duty to check the confirmation criteria. Reminding briefly; a white candlestick with an upward gap, a white candlestick closing above previous week's close or a long white candlestick with a big downward gap is sufficient to confirm the BUY-IF alert though with a one week delay. Go long in any of these cases by respecting the benchmarks. In any other case, simply ignore the BUY-IF alert. This second week is the last chance we allow for confirmation. A confirmation failure renders the assumed bullish pattern totally invalid and starts the process of searching for a new pattern.

We do not yet suggest any new short positions given the bullish alert. The short sellers should consider covering their positions if the market confirms the BUY-IF signal. Otherwise, existing short positions should be carried.

"Blood Tantalum" Profiteers in Congo Set to Capitalize on Dramatic 2009 Price Spike for Australian Tantalum

The bloody civil war that is creating another humanitarian crisis in the central African nation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is set to get far worse because of events a world away in Australia.

That promises to be the case if the world’s leading tantalum supplier in Australia acts on a threat to almost double the metal’s price, beginning in January, 2009. Apparently, Perth-based Talison Minerals means business.

To underscore its resolve, Talison will cease mining tantalum altogether in early December – at least for the foreseeable future. This leaves only its existing stockpiles, which surely won’t compensate for the fact that the company’s two major mines accounted for no less than 50% of the world’s annual supply.

What’s the connection between the endless bloodshed in the DRC and the closing of a mine thousands of miles away due to the global recession? The tantalum in the DRC is far more inexpensively produced compared to mining operations in the Western world. And some of it can be extracted dirt cheap because of the brutal enslavement of civilian workforces -- including young children -- by armed factions.

Located in war-torn eastern Congo, these primitive open pit quarries are controlled by various militias, rebel groups and renegade elements of the Congolese army. These lawless thugs have profited for the past few years from the tantalum, which is known as “coltan” in Africa, by terrorizing rural communities and forcing locals to dig for this rare mineral by hand.

By the way, if you own a mobile phone or a laptop or any other portable electronic device, then there is a good likelihood that one or more of your devices contains “blood tantalum.” And the odds are about to increase that more of this illicit tantalum will find its way into your hands. That is if the price of tantalum jumps as much as the 80-85% increase recently demanded by Talison. This, in turn, will make cheaply produced black market Congolese tantalum all the more attractive to some unscrupulous processors of the metal -- even ones that are so desperate for ore that they are willing to turn a blind eye.  

With the stakes so high, much of this blood-tainted mineral is already smuggled overseas by warlords or corrupt senior army officers for lucrative cash rewards. Or it is mixed with ore from legitimate Congolese mines, which are run by foreign and domestic companies in trouble-free parts of the country.

Human rights organizations claim that some processors are willing to buy tainted tantalum on the black market at bargain prices in China and Russia. Significantly, an estimated $750 million worth of profits from this illicit activity financed the war chests of the DRC’s feuding forces between 2000 and 2004, according to the United Nations.  

About four to five million mostly civilian Congolese have died, primarily from disease and starvation, as a result of the civil war and the related collapse of the nation’s economy. Currently, an estimated 1,000 people are dying every day. Millions more have been displaced from their homes.

Talison Minerals claims they are being forced to dramatically raise prices for the type of high purity tantalum that is used in electronics because it represents only a small and largely unprofitable segment of their business. And one that is slackening due to the slowdown in the miniature electronics consumer market.

Furthermore, mining companies are now demanding long-term contracts with buyers to ensure steady supplies, according to Dan Lane, marketing director of AVX Corp., a major capacitor manufacturer.

Western politicians and tantalum industry experts, alike, argue that the ultimate solution to the DRC’s escalating humanitarian crisis is two-fold: outlaw blood tantalum and stabilize the world’s legitimate tantalum supplies.

There is considerable encouragement on one front: the future introduction of an internationally-sanctioned certification of origin protocol for tantalum may eventually choke off much of the black market for blood tantalum. Yet, the need to find new tantalum supplies in conflict-free, politically stable nations is proving to be a more problematic challenge. Especially since most of the world’s remaining tantalum supplies are located in other sometimes turbulent African nations.

Very few new sources of tantalum have emerged in recent years, even though the mining industry has spent billions of dollars on mineral exploration. There have been some reports of potential new deposits in South America, Egypt and the Middle East, however, there is far more interest in the discovery of new tantalum supplies in Western nations with low political and currency risk.

The suspension of tantalum operations at both of Talison’s Australian Wodgina and Greenbushes mines due to escalating production costs and the global recession will make it all the more difficult for end-users to source out conflict-free tantalum.

The economic and political repercussions of this scenario are not lost on Talison’s CEO, Peter Robinson, whose words have chilling implications for the DRC’s already traumatized population.

“Our goal is to bring Wodgina back into production as soon as the global situation improves and demand and prices are stronger…Without Talison’s supply, the majority of the world’s tantalum will come from irregular and unreliable suppliers from politically unstable regions, with much of it coming from the Democratic Republic of the Congo,” he says.

The advent of a sudden tantalum supply/demand imbalance could precipitate yet another dramatic price spike, like so many others that have plagued the tantalum market over the past several decades. All of which have been caused by a combination of strong demand and fears about supply shortages.

Any new supply problems could be exacerbated by the fact that there are new 21st Century markets for this high-tech metal -- not the least of which is the exponential growth in the use of tantalum capacitors in automobiles.

So the race is on to develop strong reserves of reliable and legitimate tantalum ore. Otherwise the temptation to profit from “blood tantalum” may too great and will continue to heap misery on the people of the DRC.

Your shiny new 3G iPhone may be helping fuel the deadliest conflict since World War II
Blood cell phones’ worsen crisis in the Congo

Saturday 19 July 2008 by Robin Browne
Lots of people know about "blood diamonds" such as those highlighted in the 2006 hit movie of the same name starring Leonardo DiCaprio. These are diamonds that help fuel wars in the countries they come from as warring parties fight over control of the diamond mines.

Very few people, however, know that their cell phones may be doing the very same thing. That’s because almost all electronic equipment, including cell phones, contain an element called tantalum that has properties that make it an important part of things like capacitors in electronic devices. Tantalum capacitors are used in laptop computers, pagers, mobile phones and game consoles like Sony’s Playstation.

Tantalum comes from two minerals, columbite or tantalite, which collectively are known as coltan. Eighty per cent of the world’s coltan comes from the African country the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it has been blamed for helping fuel vicious civil wars since 1996.

In its latest Congo mortality report, the International Rescue Committee found that 5.4 million war-related deaths have occurred in the Congo since 1998. In other words, as Amy Goodman from Democracy Now said in her January story, "Congo: The Invisible War," a loss of life greater than September 11 occurring every two days. The vast majority of these have been from preventable, non-violent causes such as disease and malnutrition – easily treatable conditions.

Tantalum ores are found primarily in Australia, Canada, Brazil, and central Africa, with some additional quantities originating in Southeast Asia.

One of the major global coltan buyers is the Australian mining company Sons of Gwalia. Sons turns the coltan to tantalum ore which it sells to companies including Germany’s Bayer subsidiary H.C. Starck and the American company Cabot Corp. Those companies refine it for sale to the electronics industry for use in capacitors.

Cabot Corporation is a Boston-based global chemicals and materials company. This is according to the biography of former Cabot CEO, Sam Bodman – now George Bush’s Energy Secretary. According to a 2006 Cabot press release, the company entered into a new three-year tantalum ore supply agreement with Sons of Gwalia that year. In 2004, Australia’s Sidney Morning Herald reported that Cabot was Sons’ largest tantalum concentrate customer.

That same year, Sons of Gwalia announced an agreement with H.C. Starck on a new 800,000 pound per year tantalum supply contract for the calendar years 2006 to 2008. Sons said this represented approximately 25 per cent of mined tantalum required by the global tantalum industry at the existing demand levels.

Two former Canadian prime ministers also have links to mining in the Congo. Brian Mulroney sits on the board of Barrick Gold that, according to a 2005 Human Rights Watch report, operated a gold mine in the Congo’s Haut Uélé District until 1998. In the mid 1990s Joe Clark was both leader of the Progressive Conservative Party and a special advisor on Africa for the mining company First Quantum Mineral, according to a 2007 report by The Dominion. First Quantum’s website indicates the company is still doing business in the Congo.

However, while former prime ministers have been active in the Congo, Canadian governments have been almost completely silent on the issue. This is despite the fact that the United Nations has issued several reports that are highly critical of illegal corporate exploitation of the country’s minerals. Maurice Carney of Washington-based Friends of the Congo agrees with the reports, "Eighty percent of the population live on 30 cents a day or less, with billions of dollars going out the back door and into the pockets of mining companies."

So, it is against this backdrop that today Apple releases its eagerly awaited 3G iphone that, like the first iPhone, is already creating huge demand. In 2001, the New York Times reported that a year earlier, exploding demand for tantalum powder created a temporary worldwide shortage, contributing to Sony’s difficulties in getting its new PlayStation 2 into American stores, as well as to a tenfold price increase on the world tantalum market.

So the obvious question is does the new iPhone use Congo coltan? Several calls to Apple’s corporate office – as both a journalist and a concerned customer - failed to get an answer to that question.

So what can people do who don’t want to be indirectly fueling a war but aren’t ready to stop using their phones? Carney suggests three things:

1) Call their cell phone manufacturer and ask if their phones contain Congolese coltan.

2) Do what they can to make sure their personal savings or pension money is not invested in companies doing business in the Congo.

3) Support the Congolese people by raising awareness of the war.

He also says that recycling cell phones can help by reducing overall demand. Cell phone recycling services are available in some Canadian cities. Switching phones less often also helps lessen demand. When asked what manufactures can do if they want to make sure their products don’t contain Congo coltan, Carney said it’s not about them getting Congo coltan out of their products.

Instead he said, "They can use their enormous power to pressure their governments to take action on the Congo."

However, considering the deafening silence on the Congo from all sides, including the Canadian government, if companies don’t feel pressure from consumers they won’t be very motivated to upset the very profitable status quo.

Commerce Resources Ltd.

Commerce Resources hat in 2008 für viele schmerzhaft vorexerziert, was es bedeutet, institutionelle Aktionäre zu besitzen. Diese Institutionen waren gezwungen, sich ohne Rücksicht auf Preise und Liquidität von ihren Aktienpaketen zu trennen, die sie im Zuge der Privatplatzierung Mitte 2007 erworben hatten. Die Leidtragenden dieses Ausverkaufs sind vielfach Privataktionäre, die ihre Papiere behalten haben. Allerdings muss man sie daran erinnern, dass nur realisierte Verluste wirkliche Verluste sind. Commerce selbst hat im Prinzip alles unternommen, was Anleger sich von einem Tantal-Explorationsunternehmen erwarten können. Auf dem Blue-River-Projekt in British Columbia wurde soviel gearbeitet wie noch nie. Mehr als 27 Kilometer Bohrungen wurden 2008 niedergebracht – mit durchweg guten Ergebnissen. Die Ressourcen dürften nochmals enorm wachsen. Für 2009 ist das Unternehmen gut aufgestellt. Einige Pflichtaufgaben stehen an, darunter die Scoping Studie zur Ermittlung zuverlässiger wirtschaftlicher Eckdaten. Die Studie gründet auf definitiven metallurgischen Ergebnissen und soll Entscheidungsgrundlagen für die beste Abbaumethode sowie selbstverständlich eine erste Minenplanung liefern. Das Wichtigste für Commerce (und für den Chairman Axel Hoppe) wird sein, dass 2009 erstmals nennenswerte Mengen Konzentrat zur Verfügung stehen, die potenziellen Kunden zu Testzwecken zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. Der Markt entwickelt sich, trotz der allgemeinen Rezession, eher günstig für Commerce. Mit Talison Minerals hat sich soeben der dominierende Anbieter von Tantal vorübergehend aus dem Markt verabschiedet – zum Ärger seiner Kunden. Talison möchte durch seinen demonstrativen Produktionsstopp höhere Preise durchsetzen. Außerdem hat Talison auf politischer Ebene ein Verfahren in Gang gebracht, das die Ächtung von „Blut-Tantal“ aus den Kriegsgebieten des Kongo zum Ziel hat. Es bestehen sehr gute Chancen, dass sich für Tantal ebenfalls ein „Kimberly Prozess“ herausbildet, wie seinerzeit für „Blut-Diamanten“ aus Sierra Leone. Diese Bestrebungen kommen einem künftigen Produzenten aus Kanada selbstverständlich entgegen. Commerce kann, nicht zuletzt wegen seiner beträchtlichen Kapitalreserven, zuversichtlich ins neue Jahr gehen.

CANADA VENTURE: Big Tantalum Plans For Commerce Re
martinishaker2
1/7/2009 1:59:31 PM |  | 2 reads  | Post #25728963

VANCOUVER (Dow Jones)--Global machinations could end up being beneficial to Commerce Resources Corp. (CCE.V), a late-stage tantalum and nobium explorer, with its flagship property, Upper Fir, near Kamloops in British Columbia.

Open-pit mining could start as soon as 2010, pushing supply into a global market that's losing suppliers and being hit by black-market production in war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, which, by some estimates, is supplying the world with some 30% of required supply.

What's more, the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency stopped selling into the market during the past year because its inventory had been sold down.

And Australia's Talison, the world's leading supplier of tantalum, has ceased production indefinitely, citing the adverse effect of the black market as well as intense pricing pressure.

Tantalum has, by the way, the greatest capacity to hold electricity per gram of any material, meaning it has become the darling of the electronics market. It's used to make capacitors found in everything from digital cameras to pacemakers.

The hope now is that the governments-based Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, which imposes extensive requirements on members to enable them to certify shipments of rough diamonds as "conflict-free," will be extended to other minerals such as tantalum.

And this brings us to Commerce Resources.

"Ultimately, we could potentially end up being one of the largest suppliers of tantalum in the market," said Chris Grove, the company's corporate communications director. "We did our most expansive (exploration) program of all time during 2008."

The company completed 131 drill holes on three key sites, with 118 infill and step-out holes carried out on its Upper Fir property. All of that amounted to some 26,281 meters of drilling.

There was also a bulk sample of about 2,000 metric tons collected from the Upper Fir deposit and prepared for processing in a pilot plant.

Assays from the 2008 program are expected within the next couple of months, Grove said.

Indicated Category Expected To Grow In Coming Months

At the moment, Upper Fir has 14.6 million tons in the indicated category and 19.8 million tons in the inferred category.

"We understood that when we undertook this year's drilling program, so, with Upper Fir, about half of the holes were infill and half were step-out holes," Grove said. "Going forward, I would suggest that the 19.8 million tons in the inferred category will move to indicated and that we should also add a significant chunk to the resource itself."

He said three years of environmental studies coupled with the metallurgical studies to be done on that bulk sample will lead to the completion of a pre-feasibility study.

"At this point, there is no other tantalum project that is well-financed. We have access to over C$22 million in capital right now and it will likely only take us a couple of million dollars to take us through prefeasibility in the next six months. And by that time, we should be entering the regulatory process," Grove said. "Commerce Resources is basically the only potential new source of tantalum in the world."

While a number of Venture-based exploration companies look to establish an asset and then sell it to a mid-tier or senior operator, Commerce Resources intends to convert to an operator, he said.

"Part and parcel of this plan is to also to set up a hydro-metallurgical facility," he said.

In the beginning, the company only plans to ask the B.C. government for a mining permit. Metallurgical processing will be carried out off-site, likely by the services of two main processors - Cabot and H.C. Stark.

"Essentially, we will be shipping by rail the tantalum/niobium concentrate produced on-site to a lab off-site for a few years," he said. "After a few years and once we have the cash flow, we will underwrite our own hydro-metallurgical facility."

Currently, global contracts are signed at US$60 a pound for tantalum concentrate and US$140 a pound for tantalum oxide.

"It's our intention to be sellers of oxide," he said.

Viele Augen schauen auf Commerce, da Talison die Mine immer noch geschlossen hat, wird der Markt auch auf andere mögliche Produzenten ausschau halten. somit scheint die position klar definiert zu sein, Commerce wird einer der Gewinner sein! wenn wie erwartet der Rohpreis für Tantal wieder steigt und Cce immer näher an die Produktion kommt, dann sehen wir den wahren wert von Commerce Res.

Ich bin dabei und halt einen recht guten Einstiegskurs.

für die Zukunft sehe Ich wieder steigende Kurse!!
