LONDON (ShareCast) - Half-year profit soared at Clyde Process Solutions, allowing the material handling solutions provider to propose a maiden interim dividend. Profit before tax for the six months ended 31 August leapt to £2m from just £387,000 a year ago on revenue up 39% to £36.2m. Gross profit was up 49% at £8.9m. The group’s order book stood at £34.5m at the end of August, near record levels and 65% ahead of the same period last year. Most of this is expected to convert to revenue by the end of the financial year. “The short term outlook for the group is underpinned by a strong order book, which the group expects will deliver a record year of revenue,” said the firm. “We enter the second half of the current financial year with a strong order book and are confident in our long-term growth prospects which are underpinned by energy and environmental factors,” added chairman Jim McColl. Clyde, which this year announced a maiden final dividend of 1.05p, is paying a first interim dividend of 0.75p a share.

Hi Sandhopper, I trust you are well. Well, I believe there's more good news on the Horizon during the next few weeks., I hope so and I know there are many that are waiting too. We're off to a good start this week and I don't understand why some are selling their stock, there's more to come and and it will cost more to Buy. Nice to be in with the Stars eh!

Hold for the longer term. As mentioned, bargain basement SP here, and as Unglove states just a sign of the present Market conditions.

On AIM, a few of the mining and oil stocks managed to shake off the woes dogging their larger peers on the top tier. Cambridge Mineral announced gold production had started at its mine in Quintana, Colombia, which sent the shares soaring 50 per cent to 1.625p. The oil exploration group Afren enjoyed solid gains after it farmed out a 20 per cent stake of an exploration area in waters off Ghana to Mitsui. It rose 7.63 per cent to 35.25p.

Shares in Cambridge Mineral Resources (CMR) soared 0.5p to 1.625p after first gold was poured at its Quintana gold mine yesterday, 10 days after the miner started production at the Colombian site. Quintana is expected to produce around 15,200 ounces of gold and 6,000 ounces of silver each year over a minimum mine life of five years. The plant is now becoming fully operational and has begun commercial production at a nominal 75 tonnes per day, more than the 50 tonnes initially forecast. The company has a sales contract in place with Colombian gold refiner CIIGSA, and prices are based on the London pm gold price fix on the day of delivery to the refinery. "With cash operating costs estimated to be approximately 131 dollars per oz gold over the life of mine, we expect Quintana to be a low-cost producer demonstrating good profit margins," explained managing director Colin Andrew. Quintana is estimated to have a net present value of 10.8 million dollars, based on a 50 tonnes per day operation over five years at a gold price of 600 dollars an ounce.

I know not when but it won't be much into 2009 at the latest - the forced sellers will dry up. It is they who are holding gold down and it cannot last. It is thus my belief that one of the features of 2009 will be gold rising sharply - well past $1000 is my considered target. To that end the t1ps SF Fund which I manage has been buying more gold stocks (most notably Centamin and Metals Exploration) because any gold stock with a proven commercial resource and - as a bonus which is funded into production - will surely benefit as 2009 drags on.

I was at a lunch last week organised by our new colleagues at minesite.com with the CEOs of 11 mining companies. The confidence of a year ago has gone and a newer sense of grim realism has replaced it. But there is also some astonishment at how far valuations have reversed. I share some of this astonishment. The case for base metals is arguably not clear cut. But the case for gold is - to me and others in the industry- just a nil brainer. It is self-evident that if global base rates trend towards zero and Western Governments deficit finance their way out of recession gold must go up yet it is falling. But have you tried to buy a gold coin recently? In Australia there is now a waiting list at the Central bank. Try it here and you will pay a significant premium to the metal price so short is supply. From this I can only conclude that either there is a global surplus of supply over demand or that the spot price is somehow wrong. To the former first. At $750 gold some older, low grade mines are not running profitably. Already some have shut and others will follow. Meanwhile the majors are producing more than they are finding - their reserves are thus falling. So in fact in terms of physical production there is actually a shortage. Now to the latter. It is clear that there are still forced sellers of gold, notably certain hedge funds and also some ETFs. These bull market creations are unwinding at a rate of knots and at some stage -

VERY NICE DAY, AND THIS IS JUST THE START.

Nasty Spread here.

The current demand for physical gold has left numerous mints unable to fabricate enough gold coins and bars fast enough. "The question is whether this surge in broad based interest is the retail market buying at the end of the bull market, or are they the ones with cash who want to protect their wealth and are therefore a harbinger of where gold is heading? Generally we favour the latter view as we feel the legacy of the U.S. government's bailouts will undermine the value of the dollar and confidence in the financial system."

In its September quarterly update, coal miner Energybuild (EBG) was able to report solid progress at both its underground and surface coal mines in South Wales and stated that it remains on track to reach its annual production targets. 35,000 tonnes were produced from underground as the scheduled development work continued. 33,000 tonnes were sold at an average price of 85 pounds per tonne, whilst average operating costs stood at 79 pounds per tonne. As planned, the second half will bring an increase in production once the current development phase is completed and the company is confident of achieving its 265,000 tonnes per year end target and lower cash costs. "The company remains confident of performing 'in line with expectations despite the turbulent economic climate'," commented broker Seymour Pierce. "Based on our current numbers this means a pre-tax profit around 3.5 million pounds," it added, keeping its 'BUY' stance. Energybuild shares finished flat at 16p.
