Dow is in Bullish Reversal now at the key technical level confirming the third test of the lower band of recent trend. We have a very bullish candle two days ago and yesterday the level was retested by late day selling. Today's action provides another confirmation for Deflation Scare to be subsiding and Euro panic is slowing down with news from China, declining review of SAFE Euro holdings. Fear index below is confirming its Reversal and appetite for Risk assets will be coming back with further improvement in indicators fooled by flood of liquidity provided. Euro bail out with almost 1 Trillion in USD terms and QE on the run have shadowed domestic bills for another 30 billion in Job support program and further requests for capital from bottomless Freddy and Fannie.

Risk appetite is coming back and this Summer can be really Hot in some sectors, we think that Oil starting from 70 USD now after this Second Deflation Scare on sovereign default will provide necessarily catalyst for the move above 90 USD. Our Lithium play will be enjoying next bull leg up with oil passing north of 80 USD.
"Peak Oil and Lithium: Joint Operating Environment 2010
Please pay attention, this report is written by those who knows the Real Price of Oil. If you account all military needed to protect Oil supply lines and cost of wars to get more oil, price will be well above 150 USD/barrel already. Now we all have another problem: there is simply no more oil enough for all. Will future wars for oil be the only answer?"
Another "liberation" operation like Iraq, this time against Iran will break the camel's back with no return point. Competition for Oil is heating up and aggressive move by China into Electric Cars leaves no other options for US than to follow.

Electrification will not only provide Energy Security to China, but will significantly reduce the cost of its transportation element and provide another opportunity to stay among low cost producers. Situation is completely different to U.S. - they have capital to invest in Electric Mobility CAPEX now and rip the rewards of lower cash cost on transportation side later. We will refer you to the Economics of Electric Cars.
Recent Ash Cloud events in Europe brought a very sobering sense of the feeling to be grounded. It is amazing how many things are taking for granted. This time it is Ash Cloud - what will happen with oil above 150?
Electric Cars is the only commercially viable technology today to sustain mobility world wide with rising Oil prices. Lithium is at the heart of Green Mobility revolution - it is an industry adopted standard for batteries and billions of dollars are invested into battery technology and upcoming by the end of this year Electric Cars on a mass market scale.

Mr. Peeyush Varshney reports
CANADA ZINC METALS ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Canada Zinc Metals Corp. has arranged a private placement of five million units at a price of 60 cents per unit for gross proceeds of up to $3-million.
Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant of the company. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of 80 cents for a period of 18 months from closing.
A finder's fee of 7 per cent will be paid on the private placement. The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The proceeds of the private placement are anticipated to be used for further exploration of the Akie Sedex zinc-lead deposit and for working capital purposes.
About the Akie and Kechika regional properties
The Akie zinc-lead property is situated within the southernmost part (Kechika trough) of the regionally extensive Paleozoic Selwyn basin, one of the most prolific sedimentary basins in the world for the occurrence of Sedex zinc-lead-silver and stratiform barite deposits.
Drilling on the Akie property by Inmet Mining Corporation during the period 1994 to 1996 and by Canada Zinc Metals since 2005 has identified a significant body of baritic zinc-lead Sedex mineralization (Cardiac Creek deposit). The deposit is hosted by variably siliceous, fine-grained clastic rocks of the Middle to Late Devonian Gunsteel formation. The company has outlined an NI 43-101-compliant inferred resource of 23.6 million tonnes grading 7.6 per cent zinc, 1.5 per cent lead and 13.0 grams per tonne silver (at a 5-per-cent zinc cut-off grade).
Two similar deposits, Cirque and Cirque South Cirque, located approximately 20 kilometres northwest of Akie and owned under a joint venture by Teck Resources and Korea Zinc, are also hosted by Gunsteel rocks and have a combined geologic inventory in excess of 50 million tonnes (not 43-101-compliant) grading approximately 10 per cent combined zinc and lead.
In addition to the Akie property, Canada Zinc Metals controls a large contiguous group of claims which consist of the Kechika regional project. These claims are underlain by geology identical to that on the Akie property (Cardiac Creek deposit) and Cirque. This project includes the 100-per-cent-owned Mt. Alcock property, which has yielded a historic drill intercept of 8.8 metres grading 9.3 per cent zinc and lead, numerous zinc-lead-barite occurrences, and several regional base metal anomalies.
All of the company's claims (77,889 hectares), with the exception of a small isolated block (2,293 hectares), are in good standing, under the provisions of the Mineral Tenure Act of British Columbia, until Dec. 8, 2018."

Gold in Canada: Goldstone Resources Exploration Update GRC.to, PG.to, GG, ABX, AEM, NEM, GDX, HUI, XAU,
0 comments Posted by andre at 4:10 PMGoldstone Resources Inc. is a major force in gold exploration and development, combining significant historic and newly discovered resources and exploration potential in the Beardmore-Geraldton Camp in Northwestern Ontario.The company benefits from extensive existing infrastructure above and below ground including an upgraded, fully-permitted mill. Goldstone’s Brookbank and Northern Empire Mine properties both have NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates, containing a combined total of indicated and inferred resource in excess of one million ounces of gold. Overall, the ten formerly productive mines on Goldstone lands — including the Leitch Mine, at one time, Canada’s richest — produced in excess of 4 million ounces of gold, remained open at depth, and offer major untapped potential through extensions and parallel occurrences. In addition to gold resources and exploration targets on its 100% owned properties, Goldstone enjoys a 30% carried interest in The Hardrock Project, a joint venture with Premier Gold Mines Limited as operator. The recent Hard Rock Project NI 43-101 Mineral Resource highlights include:- Indicated Resources of 11.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.82 grams per tonne (g/t Au) (2.43 g/t Au uncut) hosting 675,000 ounces Au cut (905,000 ounces Au uncut).- Inferred Resources of 7.3 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.81 g/t Au (3.52 g/t Au uncut) hosting 425,000 ounces Au cut (830,000 ounces Au uncut).
Goldstone is currently planning an aggressive exploration and drilling program for 2010. In addition to extensive data evaluation and surface exploration across the area, Goldstone plans to carry out drilling on targets currently being identified from a review of historic records and correlation of recent drilling with analysis of the 2009 aeromagnetic survey results.
Goldstone Resources Exploration Update
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - 05/13/10) - Goldstone Resources Inc. ("Goldstone" or "the Company") (TSX:GRC - News)(PINK SHEETS:GRSZF - News) is pleased to provide an update on our exploration efforts in the Beardmore-Geraldton area of northern Ontario. Following the merger of Ontex Resources and Roxmark Mines in late 2009 to form Goldstone, a large geological and historical production database has been examined to prioritize exploration targets.
KEY LAKE, GERALDTON
The Key Lake property will be the focus of approximately 15,000m of diamond drilling, scheduled to start on June 1st. Historical drilling by Cyprus Amax and Placer Dome in the 80's and 90's has outlined a 2.5 km long band of gold mineralization that appears to have low grade open pit potential. Goldstone plans to twin some of these historical holes and systematically drill along the 2.5km strike length to explore this potential. This property is located approximately 14km west of the Hardrock Project, where Premier Gold (in joint venture with Goldstone) has announced impressive open pit and underground results.
LEITCH-SAND RIVER MINE, BEARDMORE
In the Beardmore area, compilation and prioritization of targets is ongoing. Several promising areas with limited exploration on strike from the high grade Leitch-Sand River mines will be the focus of diamond drilling later in the fall. Additional programs of ground geophysics, trenching and mapping will be conducted on targets in the area that exhibit structural and geological similarities to the historical high grade deposits.
Mike Kilbourne (P.Geo) is the Qualified Person for the information contained in this press release, and is a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.
About Goldstone
Formed by late 2009 merger of Ontex Resources and Roxmark Mines, Goldstone Resources is a well funded gold exploration and development company operating in the historically significant Geraldton-Beardmore area of Northwestern Ontario and focused on gold exploration and deposit delineation at its Brookbank, Northern Empire, Leitch-Sand River and Key Lake gold properties in the Beardmore Camp. At a 3.4 g/t gold cut-off grade, drilling has established 1.36 million tonnes grading 9.7 g/t gold containing 424,400 ounces of indicated resource and 1.09 million tonnes grading 7.9 g/t gold containing 276,600 ounces of inferred resource at Brookbank. (See National Instrument 43-101 technical report -"Technical Report on the Brookbank Gold Deposit, Beardmore - Geraldton Area, Northern Ontario, Canada" by Scott Wilson RPA Inc. dated May 4, 2009, as filed on SEDAR).
In addition, Goldstone has a 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project in the Geraldton Camp, a joint venture with Premier Gold Limited, with Premier as operator.

Canada Zinc Metals: 2010 AKIE PROPERTY EXPLORATION PROGRAM CZX.v, LUN.to, FCX, RTP, BHP, HBM.to, NG.to
0 comments Posted by andre at 1:04 PM
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange: CZX) (“Canada Zinc Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated January 26, 2009 and March 23, 2009, it has received final approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange and the relevant Chinese authorities with respect to the closing of the non-brokered private placement subscribed to by Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group Holdings Co. Ltd. (“Tongling”).
Pursuant to the private placement, Tongling has purchased 11,500,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.425 per unit for gross proceeds of $4,887,500 and now holds a 13% equity position in Canada Zinc Metals. Each unit consists of one common share and one half of a common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles Tongling to purchase, at any time within 24 months from closing, one common share of the Company at a price of $0.60 during the first year and at a price of $0.80 during the second year. These units are subject to a hold period expiring on September 27, 2009.
“We welcome Tongling as a strategic shareholder of Canada Zinc Metals,” stated Mr. Peeyush Varshney, CEO of Canada Zinc Metals. “Our Company continues to attract the interest of the world’s premier base metal mining companies. The Cardiac Creek deposit is one of the most significant discoveries in Canada in the past several years."
Vancouver, B.C. – May 03, 2010 – Canada Zinc Metals Corp. (TSX Venture: CZX) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that planning is progressing well for the 2010 exploration program on its flagship, 100% owned Akie zinc-lead property, located in northeastern British Columbia, some 260 km north-northwest of the community of Mackenzie.
Rodren Drilling Ltd., of West St. Paul, Manitoba, has been selected as the contractor for the 2010 drill program on the Akie property. Rodren will provide two helicopter portable, modified BBS-56 drill rigs and all of the ancillary equipment necessary to complete a total of up to 5,000 metres of NQ/HQ size core drilling in two areas. During the past three drill seasons on the property, Rodren has acquired considerable knowledge and experience (17.3 km drilling / 36 holes) and has demonstrated a high level of technical and operational competency. Mobilization of equipment to the property is expected to take place in the first part of June.
The objectives of this program on the Akie property are twofold:
To test the permissive Gunsteel Formation – Road River Group stratigraphy present along strike to the northwest of the Cardiac Creek deposit for the continuation of this mineralization and;
To further explore the highly prospective North Lead Anomaly, located some 2.2 km to the northwest of the Cardiac Creek deposit, which is underlain by similar geology. Previous drilling has encountered massive sulphides containing sphalerite and galena (0.8 metres grading 11.60% Zn and 9.05% Pb), sulphide replacement (pyrite, sphalerite, galena) of an underlying footwall debris flow and quartz-carbonate alteration of footwall rocks, all suggestive of proximity to a vent zone.
Further details of the 2010 exploration program and objectives will be provided in due course.
About the Akie and Kechika Regional Properties
The Akie zinc-lead property is situated within the southern-most part (Kechika Trough) of the regionally extensive Paleozoic Selwyn Basin, one of the most prolific sedimentary basins in the world for the occurrence of SEDEX zinc-lead-silver and stratiform barite deposits.
Drilling on the Akie property by Inmet Mining Corporation during the period 1994 to 1996 and by Canada Zinc Metals since 2005 has identified a significant body of baritic zinc-lead SEDEX mineralization (Cardiac Creek deposit). The deposit is hosted by variably siliceous, fine grained clastic rocks of the Middle to Late Devonian ‘Gunsteel’ formation. The Company has outlined a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 23.6 million tonnes grading 7.6% zinc, 1.5% lead and 13.0 g/t silver (at a 5% zinc cut off grade).
Two similar deposits, Cirque and Cirque South Cirque, located some 20 km northwest of Akie and owned under a joint venture by Teck Resources and Korea Zinc, are also hosted by Gunsteel rocks and have a combined geologic inventory in excess of 50 million tonnes (not 43-101 compliant) grading approximately 10% combined zinc + lead.
In addition to the Akie property, Canada Zinc Metals Corp. controls a large contiguous group of claims which comprise the Kechika Regional project. These claims are underlain by geology identical to that on the Akie property (Cardiac Creek deposit) and Cirque. This project includes the 100% owned Mt. Alcock property, which has yielded a historic drill intercept of 8.8 metres grading 9.3% zinc+lead, numerous zinc-lead-barite occurrences, and several regional base metal anomalies.
All of the company’s claims (77,889 Ha), with the exception of a small isolated block (2,293 Ha), are in good standing, under the provisions of the Mineral Tenure Act of British Columbia, until December 8, 2018.
The TSX Venture Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.

Rodren will provide two helicopter portable, modified BBS-56 drill rigs and all of the ancillary equipment necessary to complete a total of up to 5,000 metres of NQ/HQ size core drilling in two areas. During the past three drill seasons on the property, Rodren has acquired considerable knowledge and experience (17.3 km drilling / 36 holes) and has demonstrated a high level of technical and operational competency. Mobilization of equipment to the property is expected to take place in the first part of June.
The objectives of this program on the Akie property are twofold:
To test the permissive Gunsteel Formation – Road River Group stratigraphy present along strike to the northwest of the Cardiac Creek deposit for the continuation of this mineralization and;
To further explore the highly prospective North Lead Anomaly, located some 2.2 km to the northwest of the Cardiac Creek deposit, which is underlain by similar geology. Previous drilling has encountered massive sulphides containing sphalerite and galena (0.8 metres grading 11.60% Zn and 9.05% Pb), sulphide replacement (pyrite, sphalerite, galena) of an underlying footwall debris flow and quartz-carbonate alteration of footwall rocks, all suggestive of proximity to a vent zone.
Further details of the 2010 exploration program and objectives will be provided in due course.
About the Akie and Kechika Regional Properties
The Akie zinc-lead property is situated within the southern-most part (Kechika Trough) of the regionally extensive Paleozoic Selwyn Basin, one of the most prolific sedimentary basins in the world for the occurrence of SEDEX zinc-lead-silver and stratiform barite deposits.
Drilling on the Akie property by Inmet Mining Corporation during the period 1994 to 1996 and by Canada Zinc Metals since 2005 has identified a significant body of baritic zinc-lead SEDEX mineralization (Cardiac Creek deposit). The deposit is hosted by variably siliceous, fine grained clastic rocks of the Middle to Late Devonian ‘Gunsteel’ formation. The Company has outlined a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 23.6 million tonnes grading 7.6% zinc, 1.5% lead and 13.0 g/t silver (at a 5% zinc cut off grade).
Two similar deposits, Cirque and Cirque South Cirque, located some 20 km northwest of Akie and owned under a joint venture by Teck Resources and Korea Zinc, are also hosted by Gunsteel rocks and have a combined geologic inventory in excess of 50 million tonnes (not 43-101 compliant) grading approximately 10% combined zinc + lead.
In addition to the Akie property, Canada Zinc Metals Corp. controls a large contiguous group of claims which comprise the Kechika Regional project. These claims are underlain by geology identical to that on the Akie property (Cardiac Creek deposit) and Cirque. This project includes the 100% owned Mt. Alcock property, which has yielded a historic drill intercept of 8.8 metres grading 9.3% zinc+lead, numerous zinc-lead-barite occurrences, and several regional base metal anomalies.
All of the company’s claims (77,889 Ha), with the exception of a small isolated block (2,293 Ha), are in good standing, under the provisions of the Mineral Tenure Act of British Columbia, until December 8, 2018.
The TSX Venture Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
