All of the tests run so far have shown that the mine should be prolific in El Dorado Bar/Missouri River sapphires, some of the best sapphires in the world. The mine also appears to be well enriched with gold. In the company’s test run of the virgin soil (never been mined) there was approximately one ounce of gold extracted, possibly more, per 100 yards of dirt, and one half ounce to one and one half ounces of gold per 100 yards of dirt in the tailings (previously mined). This is very meaningful for the company and its shareholders and will potentially be very effective at helping the bottom line. &lt;br /&gt;
Through during the test run of the virgin soil the company was only looking for gold, the manager of the operation (mine) took a small sampling (2 ½ gallons) of the soil that was run through the wash plant to sift through for sapphire content. In sample,(one half of a 5 gallon paint bucket) the manager extracted 239 carats of sapphires and one of those sapphires was 13.3 carats. Missouri/El Dorado Bar sapphires that are large stones range in wholesale cut pricing from $600 per carat to several thousand dollars depending on the 4 Cs (carat, clarity, cut, and color). This is outstanding as the mine has produced multiple sapphires larger than 4 carats. In previous tests of the mines tailings there is an estimated 10 to 20 carats of sapphires to one yard of tailing material. Currently, there is an 484,000 cubic yards of tailings piled on top of the ground ready to mine. This mine is a very significant asset for the company contingent upon the tests and comparatives in the adjacent areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company’s oil wells collectively are producing 6-10 barrels a day. In today’s market this makes them cost effective to run and operate. The well that is being drilled currently is getting ready to go on line. The well appears to have production potential in the range of 20 to 30 barrels a day; however, actual volumes cannot be defined until the well is pumping online. The driller did verify oil in 2-3 pay zones and is optimistic about other new wells on the 400 acre lease. With today’s oil prices this could be a very profitable oil well along with the potential of several offset wells in the future and the possibility of up to 20 wells on this lease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that the above real assets are in place and the equipment purchased, former CEO Larry Wilcox has left the company for personal and health reasons. While new management is being reviewed the Board and Andy Mercer will be overseeing UC Hub Group’s day to day operations.&lt;br /&gt;

UC HUB Shareholders:  &lt;br /&gt;
Gold/Sapphires/Oil&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Succinct Overview/Notes – Gold Mines, Sapphires, and Oil Wells – UCHB.pk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mining – sorting, grading, pre forming - Cutting – Designing - manufacturing of jewelry – marketing and sales&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have now assembled a significant amount of “iron” with excavator; dump truck; front loader, trammels, conveyors, hoppers, trailers, fuel tanks, wash plants, etc.  All of this equipment is the asset of the Company and was paid in Cash.&lt;br /&gt;
The Operations Company has received permitting for mining and has completed surveying, CAD drawings and various other regulatory issues.  Equipment is on site and a water well will have to be drilled soon and we are in line with drilling company now.&lt;br /&gt;
Local Montana Bank Accounts have been set up; Pay Roll Company has been hired, vendors are in place for supplies and staff is in place (3-5 people).&lt;br /&gt;
The Company has bought certain production of sapphires from the Missouri River (El Dorado Bar) area and now has over 10,000 carats as of this date to kick start our efforts so we do not lose time.  We have been given a price list that shows $600 per carat as wholesale pricing of good stones (AA and AAA) one carat or larger. The Company then paid an expert to grade and separate out the non-cuttables and divide these sapphires into various carat divisions from less than one carat up to 12 carats.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We then focused on cutters both domestic and international.  We have had some large stones cut domestically for safety and we have had hundreds of smaller sapphires cut overseas and now have those beautiful gems  are ready for  the insert into a  jewelry piece in the California manufacturing facility.  The precious gems, once set in jewelry, offer us an anticipated order of magnitude of profit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next we began working with a designer and a manufacturer of silver, elite silver and gold jewelry.  We spent many days at various locations and discussed vision of our Montana Sapphires, the All American Appeal of the jewelry with our American gold, our Elite Silver and the packaging.  This has been a long process but is now in full motion.  Designs have been drawn and casts are being made and the gold, elite silver and silver have been ordered.  A Brooks Institute photographer was hired and shots have been made to show the beauty of the faceted Natural Sapphire from the USA.  These digital photographs and logs are being assembled for review and integration for a web and mobile store.&lt;br /&gt;
We are also working with an inventory system for stones that would include and not be limited to carat weight, dimensions, clarity, color and perceived wholesale value, cost, and retail jewelry piece.  This is a time intensive process and warrants measuring, weighing, photographing, grading and such for each stone.&lt;br /&gt;
The Company is now manufacturing a CAST of the various jewelry pieces so that we can insert each of the very individual Montana Sapphires into these unique pieces of jewelry.  Once the CAST is done it will be a proprietary brand and we will own it in full.   We also have set up a combination of precious metals to make these pieces with that are very unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OIL&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The past two weeks the Company has been struggling with the loss of the drill bit and has not been able to recover it.  As of this past week we had decided to abandon future depths and to frac the hole and make it a small producing well hoping for maybe 5 barrels a day.  On Wednesday, June 23, 2010 the driller called and said that he was able to fish out the tools from the bottom of the hole.  He was very excited about this turn in luck and is now ready to complete the hole to the Pennsylvania Pay Zone.  We will report as we all hope for a success in this oil field on the 400 acre site which will determine future wells.  The other oil field is pumping oil daily now.  As you know, we had only ONE working well in the past and we now have 5 working and pumping wells.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our trucking and distribution company sent the division paper work for all checks and so we anticipate revenue shortly from this company.  Paper work has been signed and witnessed.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Coptyright 1999 - 2010 The UC Hub Group  All Rights Reserved&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://uchub.blogspot.com/2010/06/succinct-overviewnotes-gold-mines.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389617588821985465.post-7116585610121298282</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 May 2010 17:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-05-25T10:45:03.748-07:00</atom:updated><title>UC Hub Reports on Progress at Oil and Gold Properties</title><description>Los Angeles, Ca – May 24, 2010 -  UC Hub, Inc. (Pink Sheets: UCHB), a resource company focused on acquiring and developing revenue-producing assets, today released the following progress report on its active projects.  The Company continues to acquire heavy equipment to be used in its gold and sapphire mining activities in Montana, while employees at the mine site continue to upgrade the infrastructure to prepare for the full-scale mining operations.. Through effective networking and good timing, the Company has been able to purchase most of the equipment at significant discounts to market prices.  This is allowing the Company to proceed under budget toward our goal.  We are also completing the required licensing of applicable vehicles through the Montana Department of Transportation as we go, to avoid unnecessary delays later.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With over $100,000 (at cost) worth of heavy equipment and parts already acquired and more under negotiation, we expect this phase of the launch strategy to complete shortly.   Once operational, the Company will lease the equipment to a closely held operations company that will extract the resources exclusively for UC Hub. &lt;br /&gt;Additionally, the Company continues to purchase significant amounts of steel, electrical components, motors, breakers, boxes, hoppers, conveyors, fuel and miscellaneous materials to complete the site upgrade and to comply with all code requirements.  Simultaneously, permits through operating entities have been obtained, and  Mine Safety &amp; Health Administration (MSHA) training is now scheduled as we move forward with property upgrades. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oil Properties&lt;br /&gt;Within this week, the Company will have completed the first set of upgrades to our producing wells and expects to see an anticipated production increase to approximately 5 to 6 barrels a day.  The final increase in anticipated production may be realized as the Company finishes drilling and engages the injection well.  Additionally, our new Henderson drilling project has pushed through the hard rock and continues towards the potential Cypress pay-zone. Based upon the content of the mud recovered from the drilling process, we remain highly optimistic about the potential of this well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UC Hub continues to pursue additional acquisitions and will disclose material progress as it occurs. The Company&#39;s website at www.uchub.net is expected to be updated regularly with photos documenting visible progress at our gold and sapphire sites in Montana and our oil wells in Illinois.&lt;br /&gt;UC HUB GROUP, INC. is an acquisition-oriented company focused on recurring revenue and growth through a portfolio of producing oil and gas leases and proven mineral and gem properties throughout North America.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This news release includes forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(Pink Sheets: UCHB), a resource company focused on acquiring and developing revenue-producing assets, announced today that is has obtained the initial tranche from a $1 million funding agreement toward a launch of production at its gold and sapphire mine near Helena, Montana. The investment was negotiated with a private investor and involves the issuance of 3 million shares of common stock in addition to a 5.25% net royalty generated by the mine. The funds are being used to bring the mining property into regulatory compliance and to acquire the equipment necessary to begin effective extraction of gold and gem-quality sapphires. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UC Hub has agreements pending or in force with certain miners and gem entities to purchase all production from their mines. In recent months, the Company has accumulated over 5,000 carats of sapphires, which are now being cut and prepared for sale through one of several ready markets. Based upon industry wholesale pricing, which grades individual gems according to the size, the carats, cut and clarity, the price of these stones range from $600 to several thousand dollars per carat for Natural Montana Sapphires. The Company also has some placer gold (several ounces) and approximately $25,000 of additional cut sapphires for potential buyers whom are in discussions with the Company. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UC Hub is conducting research on properties in the area and is in the process of acquiring a site known for historic gold and sapphire production. When the purchase is finalized, the property will go through the applicable Montana permitting process. During the next several months, the remaining equipment will have been acquired and moved to the mine site, and our team will commence full-time mining operations. The initial crew has been hired and is on-site working on operational issues, cost analysis and production schedules. The rest of the experienced mining team will arrive when full production on the various properties is set to begin with the appropriate operations entity. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commenting on recent developments, CEO Larry Wilcox said, “Finalizing the funding necessary to launch this mining operation was a critical milestone as UC Hub completes its transition from the ‘development stage’ into its revenue-generating, ‘emerging growth’ phase. We are particularly pleased we have accomplished this capitalization without significant dilution to our shareholders. We felt this was essential while our stock is still relatively unknown by the market.” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wilcox said that he anticipates the Company will extract thousands of carats of sapphires monthly and that he is equally optimistic about the projected yield of gold, to be extracted simultaneously. He indicated that historically mines in the district produced $5 million in gold and 900,000 carats of sapphires annually when gold was $32 an ounce. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Company will consider this project a win when we meet our projections of $1-3 million annually in combined revenues from both sapphires and gold,” added Wilcox. “With spot gold having recently closed over $1,200 and oil at approximately $75 per barrel, we are excited about the potential represented in our several active properties, including our oil property in southern Illinois, all of which are gearing up for meaningful production,” he said. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UC HUB GROUP, INC. is an acquisition-oriented company focused on recurring revenue and growth through a portfolio of producing oil and gas leases and proven mineral and gem properties throughout North America. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Visit the Company’s web site at www.uchub.net.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This news release includes forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Recently, I attended, what is considered one of the major gem shows in the United States for 2010, in Tucson, Arizona. This show featured a &quot;Who&#39;s Who&quot; network of industry experts. The show was a multi-day event and even with the help of a liaison who specializes in Gem marketing, guiding our team 12+ hours a day, we still couldn&#39;t cover all that was featured at this enormous event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our travel at the show allowed us to meet some of the most successful individuals and organizations from all over the world who are involved with precious and semi precious Gems (Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds, Tanzanite, Tsavarite, Tourmaline; Sun Stones, Peridot, Andradite, Demantoid) .). The show allowed us to meet some of the most famous cutters, view the most famous heat treating facilities, visit with famous alloy experts, the, the best wholesalers and designers, magazine editors and publishers, miners of special and unique gems, and the various associations that are key to our project, such as the North American Gem Lab, Gem International Association, and the Jewelers Ethics Association. Additionally, we had the pleasure to see some of the most outstanding gems in the world. The show was everything it was built up to be and allowed us to advance the Company&#39;s goals 10-fold as a result of going to this event. As you may know, our main goal is to offer our extensive inventory of high-end Montana sapphires and other gems to the industry leaders. This show also propelled our ability to have a panel of ethical parties survey our gems for credible tracking and authenticity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UC Hub, of course, remains focused on the mining, marketing and distribution tools for its gems as well as the revenue production of our oil and gas properties. Feedback from these seasoned veterans at the show left us with the belief that we are on the right track and that we should be a huge business success. We were also introduced to new methods to certify, certificate, and track the Montana sapphires using the newest technology which prior to this were nearly impossible or time consuming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are very encouraged with the ROI model on these gems and anticipate a lucrative future with sapphires, garnets, and gold. It is the belief of the international and domestic marketing experts at the Tucson show that commercializing Americans sapphire and our gold product Is the correct path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have included just a few of the photos from several of the shows for your viewing pleasure. Gem Show Pictures can be seen at http://www.uchub.net/Gem&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We remain enthusiastic about the tremendous potential of a televised gem show, and we will provide up-dates as we proceed with this project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry Wilcox&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Coptyright 1999 - 2010 The UC Hub Group  All Rights Reserved&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://uchub.blogspot.com/2010/02/agta-tucson-gem-show.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389617588821985465.post-326659271933661520</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-03T10:13:21.342-08:00</atom:updated><title>UC HUB Group Prepares To Sell Sapphires and Gold on TV</title><description>LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA-- (MARKET WIRE)-February 2, 2009 - UC Hub Group Inc (UCHB.PK-NEWS) announced that it has contracted with Global Gateway Media and Communications Inc., (GGMC) in Los Angeles, California to offer its gems and precious metals for sale on television to a broadcast coverage of 10 million potential viewers. The North American Gem TV Show, on which the Company&#39;s gems will be featured, initially will focus not only the actual North American gems, but also on the various mines and miners of North America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UC Hub&#39;s focus will be its mine in Montana, offering rough and finished product for commercialization. UC Hub believes the unique sapphires native to its Montana mine will be well accepted, as they are natural sapphire stones with unique colors representative of the finest Montana sapphires. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photography of the Company&#39;s spectacular Montana sapphire will begin this week as the Company offers some of the existing Montana sapphires inventory from the mine area of the El Dorado Bar. Filming will also take place at the gem industry&#39;s premier event, the American Gem Show and Trade Association (AGTA) in Tucson, Arizona. Management will attend the AGTA to network with important contacts in the industry, including some who will cooperate in its televised marketing efforts, while reviewing some of the other outstanding gems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to GGMC, the televised gem show will initially be offered via satellite to approximately 10 million potential viewers; however, depending on the order volume, the broadcast may expand to more viewers, utilizing cable and other media distribution partners. Importantly, the TV show will include an ethics and certification group, offering assurance to the consumer of the authenticity of the gems, and ensuring that the gems have not been illegally manipulated with chemicals and other such tools. The show will also discuss credibility factors and regulation of such. The Gem shopping network will have some of the miners&#39; treasure hunting stories coupled with the hard labor of mining, and the faceting of gems to maximize luminosity and the final mounting of gems for sale. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Quality and integrity of the gem itself are of major importance, and we expect that the Montana sapphire will begin to see some elegant branding from this show and the significant exposure it affords,&quot; said Larry Wilcox, president and CEO of UC Hub. &quot;Once again the Company has leveraged Gold, Sapphires, Oil and now, Media.&quot; &quot;Beyond building name ID for both the Montana sapphire and the Company, we believe the show represents a potentially major distribution tool for our Montana gems and other gem properties that the Company intends to develop,&quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;www.uchub.net. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Safe Harbor Provision &lt;br /&gt;This news release includes forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

LLC &lt;br /&gt;TO ASSIST IN INVESTOR AND PUBLIC RELATIONS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOS ANGELES, CALIF. (MARKET WIRE) - December 16, 2009. Larry Wilcox, president and chief executive officer of UC Hub Group Inc. (UCHB. PK) announced today that the Company has engaged the services of Jordan Richard Assoc. LLC (Las Vegas, Nev.) to conduct investor relations and public relations on behalf of the Company. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Jordan Richard Assoc. comes highly recommended, and we believe JRA capable of providing corporate communications guidance and addressing our public and investor relations needs in a manner that is consistent with our conservative approach,&quot; said Wilcox. &quot;We are in this for the long haul, and we are not interested in hyping the stock. Our main concern is in getting our message out to shareholders and potential investors in a way that is truthful, understandable and timely and to maintain an informative and useful dialogue with interested publics,&quot; Wilcox said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founded in 1999, UC Hub Group, Inc. is an acquisition-oriented company focused on recurring revenue and growth through a portfolio of producing oil and gas leases and proven mineral and gem properties throughout North America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highlights of UC HUB GROUP, INC. include the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o UC HUB has a joint venture with Rector Oil Drilling, operating as the JV partner on the 400-acre leased oil and gas property in Crawford County, Illinois. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o The Company has gold and sapphire mining assets located in Montana and with two revenue centers from one property, the Company anticipates major revenue upside potential. The Company has also acquired the mining equipment and has subsequently trucked that equipment to the Montana site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o Earlier this month, the Company struck oil in the first of 5 potential pay zones on its Illinois property, which is part of a 400-acre lease. This southeastern Illinois region has produced over 250 million barrels of oil over the past 100 years, making it one of the largest oil fields in the Illinois Basin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o UC Hub has formed a joint venture with Rector and a new, additional 80-acre lease which has six existing oil wells completed to a 1,000 ft. depth on the Company&#39;s Crawford County property. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o The 80-acre lease and the six wells will produce immediate revenue for the Company. Rector Drilling is very knowledgeable of this property and expects to add some technology and re-work some of these wells. Rector expects that when the re-work is completed these wells will produce 100 barrels a day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o Noted geologist, Rafal Swiecki, estimates that the Montana property has no less than 2,000 oz. of sapphire per acre, with sapphires suitable for the gem trade and for industrial uses. The Company expects to generate gold and sapphire revenue from its Montana property during 2010. The Company is also in discussions with a TV Station to produce a series about exploration and celebrities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o Management of the Company-choosing a conservative acquisition strategy based on minimal debt and dilution-remains focused on bringing genuine and leveraged assets into the Company, predicated on the potential of these assets to generate near-term and long-term revenue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For additional information, please visit the Company&#39;s web site at www.uchub.net.

Thus far, we have been remarkably successful at doing that. The original goal was to merge with a larger and better funded business enterprise; however, the diligence expense, the time, and the obvious fraud became overwhelming. So the choices remained to find a real suitor who had real funding and would be creative with a merger encumbered by debt; to find funding to pay employees and staff to grow the company properly; to find one or two small asset targets and inch your way forward with deals thereby bringing value and revenue to the company notwithstanding capital limitations; or to bankrupt the company. Management having chosen to gradually work our way to value and revenue while avoiding debt and dilution to shareholders and we believe time has honored our goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not unlike many small public companies, we have been repeatedly approached by various predatory groups that claim to be small-cap specialists in capital infusion. Essentially, they want to PROMOTE the company for the sake of promoting it and selling the free-trading shares they would graciously take as their fee into any rally they might create. Wisely, we have declined. We have been approached by groups that want to sell us what might be construed as assets, but it is clear their goal is more about &quot;perception&quot; than the reality of revenue. We have been approached by the hypsters who want to work the fringes and by so-called merger and acquisition specialists who want no more than to rape, pillage and burn. In each case we have recognized the veiled tactics, and we have declined. And, to &quot;major funders&quot; who have asked us to restrict your shares and sign their death spiral documents, we have also said no. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some advisors have said . . . &quot;Hey, take the money!&quot; Still we have said no. Management is not in this for the money if shareholders cannot make money. We recognize that our approach over the past three years-and our now well-practiced ability to say no to the wolf in sheep&#39;s clothing-- has been very painful for all concerned. However, we truly believe that our particular brand of conduct has been in the best interest of the long-term growth of the company. Capital can be replaced; reputation, once lost, is much harder to replace. We are now consistently raising small amounts of funding, so that we will produce revenue, and subsequently will then raise more capital. This is a difficult road, but it is the right choice for the company and its shareholders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please allow me to share with you where we are at this time: As of this date, through a small amount of investment capital ($30K to $50K) we acquired mining equipment and shipped the equipment to Montana so we can review processes and perform trial runs at the Company&#39;s gold and sapphire mine. We are now raising a small amount of capital to begin mining in earnest. If weather permits, we look forward to being able to begin as early as March of 2010. This has taken longer than we expected because of delays in funding and because of other necessary capital resource allocations. We believe that our Montana operations will be successful, and potential strategic partners are standing by to assist with refining, marketing, sales, and distribution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took many steps to get where we are. Notwithstanding the purchase of equipment, the expense of transportation, and leasing and permitting fees, the mining opportunity is unencumbered by debt. We are all very excited about this opportunity and the growth and revenue potential it represents. The obstacles and personal encounters experienced during the endeavor are replete with drama that we hope to share one day, but investors want mostly to know about success and not excuses for lack of it. We have been very successful in accomplishing these acquisitions of equipment thus far and will continue to leverage this as much as we can in the operation. This week we are in discussions about acquiring a few more pieces that would enhance our gold and sapphire efficiencies by using a magnetic separator and other specialized equipment during actual production. I believe we have used our capital and resources in the most efficient manner possible to make these acquisitions and prepare the Company for success. We decided that we needed to hedge our investment in the gold and sapphire mine with an opportunity that may produce revenue in a shorter time frame. With this in mind, we acquired our first oil well and began drilling with a cable tool. We knew we could not afford to do the standard $100K to $1M oil well rig and exploration model, so we chose a small operation. We wanted to create an immediate asset with a lease program, leverage existing equipment through a joint venture with our partner, and produce revenue in January or February of 2010--all with minimal capital investment. With this, too, we are on the brink of revenue production. We are 50-50 JV partners with the driller who owns 100% of the working interest which is usually 80-85% of the total well. We then fund this operation by selling a portion of our working interest to investors so we have no risk or outlay of capital per se. Once again our goal is to leverage immediate revenue and growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe we have been successful in our &quot;inch-by- inch&quot; methodology and this very lean approach. We have the first oil well over half completed and have acquired some small producing wells nearby our existing well in Illinois. These have casing and tubing in place, and pumps and tanks in place and would cost us several hundred thousand dollars to initiate on our own. We should realize revenue from these wells as indicated; as we enhance the wells, we will see even more revenue. Once we create &quot;real gross revenue,&quot; we believe we can parlay our success into greater momentum and additional revenue. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we are conservatively successful with our mining and oil business we expect to have real assets producing several million dollars of revenue a year. If we are only marginally successful, we will still have real revenue and real assets to grow a company. While ours is truly a hard road to follow, we believe it is the honorable way to go. It is, in fact, the only way to avoid additional major debt and dilution to our shareholders. As revenue increases and investment is approved, we will continue to act in a conservative fashion, adding staff and experts to govern and navigate our business endeavors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our next step is to report oil revenue and to acquire similar leveraged leases or assets. While doing this, we will begin asking for investor relations and public relations assistance to help with the two-way dialogue and to address the many shareholder concerns faced by a growing company. This will be yet another inch forward in an area that has remained so long orphaned due to budgetary constraints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone can say we want revenue, forgetting that revenue-production most often requires capital. Or, they can say we want stock price and IR to help make it happen, but they forget that, too, takes capital. Or, they can say we want a better management team, but they forget that takes capital. My own &quot;wants&quot; are fairly basic--revenue in the next 60-90 days, growth, and assets with very &quot;leveraged investment&quot; so we can conservatively create a chart that shows consistent growth. At this stage of the company&#39;s development, any revenue signals growth; that&#39;s the beauty of Phase One. We will then grow that revenue, which is probably also harder than it sounds, but I think we can do that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the CEO of this Company I want you to know that I sincerely want this company to be OUR success story, yours and mine. It would have been easier for me to abandon this company and return to producing TV series. However, I feel a sincere obligation to make this work and to be ready to be transitioned. I do not want this company to be another &quot;promotion&quot; company. If I wanted that I would have issued several hundred million shares this week to many firms who would have promoted your company and diluted the shareholder, leaving the CEO to just reverse-split the shares when appropriate. The investor doesn&#39;t need yet another ugly scenario like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remain focused on providing you a conservative approach to quick revenue with leveraged investment and relationships that will hopefully produce an attractive return on your investment. We now have real assets--with trammels, truck, generator, shakers, screens, tubing, casing, wells, production, leases and expert joint venture partners in the wings--and we are about to begin revenue production, which is a major accomplishment and for which there is no substitute. The naysayers were wrong; ours is not an academic exercise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week I worked on news releases, the books, the audit and the 10-Q; the web site reviews, software issues, oil and gas strategies, expert consultant groups; mining legal work, gem sales and a TV reality show; discussions with IR and PR people in Las Vegas and Beverly Hills; capital infusion for the oil leases and respective legal work and contracts; negotiations on additional assets and mining equipment; legal and economical assessment; and new data base management enhancement tools for prospects. Soon, I expect all that multi-tasking will be rewarded. If I have left something out I apologize, because my intention is in good faith but I am stretched very thin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep the faith . . . we are moving in a positive direction!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry Wilcox&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Coptyright 1999 - 2010 The UC Hub Group  All Rights Reserved&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://uchub.blogspot.com/2009/12/shareholders-update-december-14-2009.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389617588821985465.post-5403838667433477881</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 Dec 2009 03:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-11T19:20:08.428-08:00</atom:updated><title>December 10, 2009 - Press Release</title><description>UC HUB Group Forms Joint Venture on Six Oil Wells&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA-- (MARKET WIRE)-December 10, 2009 - UC Hub Group Inc (UCHB.PK)-NEWS announced that has formed a joint venture with privately held Rector Drilling of Robinson Illinois on six existing wells on UCHB&#39;s 80-acre lease in Crawford County, Illinois. The wells are completed to a 1000-ft. depth with tubing, electricity, pump jacks and storage tanks. An injection well is also completed, and the joint venture expects to drill several new injection wells on the property to enhance existing production. The wells, which were drilled in the 80s, will need some enhancements to take them from present production two barrels per day to a projected 30-40 barrels per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leased property and its completed and installed equipment will position UC HUB with additional oil-production assets and immediate revenue. The Company is negotiating additional leases in the area to compliment a larger lease strategy to enhance revenue through production versus exploration. These additional wells drilled in the 80s produced 70 barrels a day at that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We expect these drilled and completed wells, which will generate immediate revenue for the Company, to result in notable growth based on UC HUB&#39;s present business model and management&#39;s confidential projections,&quot; said Larry Wilcox, president. &quot;Additionally, these newly acquired assets will provide leverage for the acquisition of additional revenue-generating assets and joint ventures,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UC HUB GROUP, INC. is an acquisition-oriented company focused on recurring revenue and growth through a portfolio of producing oil and gas leases and proven mineral and gem properties throughout North America.

Today we listened to the accusations and dramatic stories build because we did not post a &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/span&gt; of a PERMIT. &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot;&gt;UC&lt;/span&gt; HUB does not have a permit, so today for the blogger&#39;s who refuse to come forward with their true identities and instead hide behind the monikers they are referring to themselves as Nelson S, Steve T. and Carl V. . . . I contacted the driller to get his permit number so you could move on in life with a positive. That permit number is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;060237&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and is filed with the State according to the driller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We thank you all for your patience and belief. I hope that I have satisfied you in good faith.&lt;br /&gt;These wells and other current projects are very real and moving forward. We will compose a section on our website for the original photos I took of the well site for you to &quot;review&quot; with your expertise. This week has been extremely hard as to the elements and weather and we hope to be drilling again in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, with any posting having a positive message and real information there are individuals that are amazed that we have actually accomplished so much with such little capital. And there will be the individual that will find fault in the fact that you only got a truck, a rig and a well for your very small capital investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is my goal to produce something that will provide quick revenue and material value to the original stock holders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see things are moving forward in a positive manner.&lt;br /&gt;I thank you for your confidence and faith in the Company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larry Wilcox&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Coptyright 1999 - 2010 The UC Hub Group  All Rights Reserved&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://uchub.blogspot.com/2009/12/shareholder-update.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item></channel></rss>
