VAL D’OR, QUEBEC–(Dec. 9, 2011) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to announce that it has staked 44 additional mineral titles northwest of the recently acquired Mozart property (HMI Press Release – November 29, 2011) located 50 kilometres northeast of Val d’Or, Quebec. The new claims expand the property to 64 claims covering an approximate area of 2,731 hectares. More importantly the new staking secures the northwestern projection, as determined by regional geophysical data, of two parallel northwest-trending zones exposed on the Mozart property at several locations in surface trenches, and effectively extends the strike length prospective for similar gold mineralization up to a total of eight kilometres.

“The Mozart acquisition and subsequent expansion are in line with our renewed focus on the Abitibi gold province,” comments Mark Fekete, President and CEO and “qualified person” as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, who reviewed the technical content of this release.

VAL D’OR, QUEBEC–(Nov. 29, 2011) - Stakeholder Gold Corp. (“Stakeholder”)(TSX VENTURE:SRC) is pleased to announce the results of a 1,768 deep auger-type soil geochemical survey that was completed on the Culvert property in late July and early August 2011. The 75-claim (1,553 hectare) Culvert property is located in the Little Hyland River valley some 200 kilometres north of Watson Lake, Yukon. The sampling was done over the entire property at 50m sample intervals on lines spaced 100m apart. Parts of the property, the lower elevations in particular, are covered by glacial drift deposits. These areas were not sampled such that soil sample results are generally representative of the underlying bedrock.

The sampling has defined a strong, southeast-trending gold anomaly located in the southeastern part of the property. The gold zone extends over a distance of 1.7km and is in places up to 250m wide with gold values up to a maximum of 0.79 grams per tonne (gpt Au). The zone lines up with the main Culvert showing where gold values up to 22.8gpt Au have been returned from grab samples. The showing consists of quartz veins and breccias within sheared meta-sedimentary rocks belonging to the Vampire Formation. Similar mineralization has been traced by the property vendors in float and scattered outcrops on surface northwest of the showing. However, the soil geochemical results are stronger southeast of the showing indicating that there is better gold potential in this direction.

“The 2011 soil geochemical results clearly outline a gold-bearing structure that is exposed at and extends in both directions from the main Culvert showing” explains Mark Fekete, President and CEO.

All soil samples were collected by Breakaway Exploration Management Inc. All analytical work was completed at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. (“Acme”) in Vancouver, British Columbia. Acme is accredited under ISO 9001. Soil samples were prepared by drying and sieving 100g to -80 mesh, and then analyzed for 36 elements (including gold) by 15 gram Aqua Regia digestion, ICP-MS finish.

VAL D’OR, QUEBEC–(Nov. 29, 2011) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with a locally based prospecting syndicate whereby Hinterland may earn a 100% interest in the 20-claim (692-hectare) Mozart property located 50 kilometres northeast of Val d’Or, Quebec. Gold mineralization related to sulphide-bearing quartz veins has been identified on the Mozart property at several locations exposed by hand trenching. The mineralization appears to be associated to two parallel northwest-trending zones. Assay values up to 10.4 grams tonne gold (gpt Au) have been obtained from grab samples taken at the more easterly zone whereas values up to 1.2 gpt Au have been returned from grab samples taken at the more westerly zone.

Under the terms of the option agreement, Hinterland may earn a 100% interest in the Mozart property by paying $36,000 cash, issuing 650,000 shares and doing $350,000 of exploration work over a three year period. The property will be subject to a 2.5% royalty interest. Hinterland will have the right to purchase 1.5% of the royalty interest for $1 million and will have a right of first refusal on the remaining 1%. The agreement is subject to approval by regulatory authorities in compliance with applicable securities legislation. Hinterland intends to start exploration work immediately with line cutting and geophysical surveys followed by diamond drilling.

The analytical results referred to in this release were determined at Bourlamaque Assay Laboratories (“Bourlamaque”) in Val d’Or, Quebec by fire assay, atomic absorption technique for gold. Bourlamaque is not accredited but it is independent of Hinterland, maintains an internal quality control program and participates annually in CANMET round-robin proficiency testing. Mark Fekete, P.Geo., a “qualified person” as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, reviewed the technical content of this release.

VAL D’OR, QUEBEC–(Nov. 9, 2011) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to release Rare Earth Element (“REE”) results from a detailed soil geochemistry survey completed on the 306-claim (17,826-hectare) Kipawa property located 20km northeast of Temiscaming, Quebec and 90km north-east of North Bay, Ontario. The Kipawa area has long been known for its REE-zircon-yttrium potential generally related to the Kipawa Syenite Complex (“KSC”). The KSC occurs as a 100 to 300m thick, sheet-like body which can be traced around an arc-like structure for almost 100km.

The goal of the program was to obtain detailed REE-in-soil data from a number of locations known through a compilation of government stream sediment data to have anomalously high, coincident yttrium, samarium, europium, and cerium values. This type of soil sampling has been proven by Hinterland to be an effective method for identifying prospective REE targets. In late 2009 Hinterland completed a preliminary soil geochemical survey that returned combined REE values up to 1835ppm (Hinterland News Release — April 20, 2010).

In 2011 a total of 3,458 soil samples were collected on nine individual grids at 50m sampling intervals on lines spaced 100m apart. A total of 18 targets prospective for REE mineralization were identified including nine linear trends and nine spot anomalies. The most notable linear anomaly (Zone B) is continuous over roughly 900m in an east to west direction, covers an area of roughly 7ha and shows a maximum value of 1154ppm REE. The strongest spot anomaly (Zone N) covers an area of roughly 3ha and shows a maximum value of 2474ppm REE.

The average depth of the samples taken in 2011 was deeper than those taken in 2009 such that in general they tested the deeper, more prospective C horizon. The area of the property is largely covered by a thin layer of locally derived colluvium rather than glacially derived, transported soils. This means that chances are good to locate a bedrock source of REE close to each of the 18 anomalous REE in soil zones found in 2011.

The soil geochemical results referred to in this press release were determined by ISO 17025 certified Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Ancaster, Ontario by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (“INAA”). This method returns total results for eight of the 17 REE including lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, samarium, europium, terbium, ytterbium and lutetium. Therefore the soil geochemical results represent partial REE values. Accordingly, INAA is considered by Hinterland to be a provisional, cost-effective, pathfinder analytical method to generate prospecting, trenching and bedrock sampling targets. Mark Fekete, P.Geo is the designated “qualified person” as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the preparation of this release.

DAWSON CITY, YUKON–(Aug. 17, 2011) - Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SRC) is pleased to announce that exploration has commenced on a number of properties in Yukon. Soil sampling is underway on the 75-claim (1,553-hectare) Culvert gold property located about 200km north of Watson Lake, Yukon. The property lies approximately 16km north of the 3Ace property where Northern Tiger Resources Inc. announced a new discovery in November 2010. Previous work by the property vendors returned up to 22.8gpt Au in grab samples from the Culvert showing. The showing consists of quartz veins and breccias within sheared meta-sedimentary rocks. Similar mineralization has been traced in float and scattered outcrops for a distance of 2,000m northwest from the showing. Limited geophysical work and soil geochemical sampling also indicates a district gold trend along this 2,000m distance. The current program involves the collection of up to 2000 soil samples with the goal of better defining the gold trend.

A second soil sampling program is underway in the White Gold district of Yukon. This program will include sampling on the Ballarat, Thistle Mountain, Divide, Tak, Coffee, VO and Marion properties. The White Gold area lies within an underexplored part of the Tintina Gold Belt. This metallogical province has past production of 29.9 million ounces and 39.3 million ounces of resources for total gold resources of 69.2 million ounces. Notable gold deposits are Donlin Creek, Ft. Knox, Pogo and Brewery Creek. The White Gold area overlaps with the Klondike Gold camp where over 20 million ounces of placer gold have been produced to date. The hard rock potential of this area had not been recognized until 2009 when Underworld Resources Inc. announced the Golden Saddle discovery. This led to a massive staking rush that was followed in 2009 by a second major discovery by Kaminak Gold Corp. on its Coffee Project. The White Gold area is currently one of the busiest exploration districts in Canada. Stakeholder holds a total of 17,046 hectares in the area. The current program involves the collection of up to 6,500 soil samples with the goal of identifying trenching and or drilling targets prospective for gold mineralization.

“Now that the spin-out of Hinterland’s Yukon assets into Stakeholder is completed, we are glad to have the crews out on the projects and back to doing what we do best,” comments Mark Fekete, President and CEO and designated “qualified person” as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the technical content of this release.

DAWSON CITY, YUKON–(Aug. 15, 2011) - Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SRC) is pleased to announce that it has acquired the 396-claim (8,002-hectare) Marion property by staking. The property is located in the Ten Mile Creek area of the White Gold district approximately 80km southwest of Dawson City, Yukon. The Ten Mile area is very active with properties held by Ryan Gold (Flume property), Solomon Resources (10-Mile property) and Stina Resources (Dime property). Previous work in the area by Teck and Phelps Dodge identified a number of gold showings spatially related to contacts between intrusive rocks with high grade metamorphic rocks of various affinities. More recent work indicates gold-in-soil geochemical zones related to southeast to northwest and east to west structural trends.

The White Gold area lies within an underexplored part of the Tintina Gold Belt. This metallogical province has past production of 29.9 million ounces and 39.3 million ounces of resources for total gold resources of 69.2 million ounces. Notable gold deposits are Donlin Creek, Ft.

DAWSON CITY, YUKON–(July 7, 2011) - Stakeholder Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SRC) (“Stakeholder”) is pleased to announce that it has negotiated options to acquire a 100% interest in three new properties in the White Gold district of Yukon. The CC and TAK properties are adjacent to Stakeholder’s flagship Ballarat property approximately 15km due south of Kinross’s Golden Saddle deposit and 20km northeast of Kaminak’s Coffee project. The VO property is located on the west side of the Yukon River approximately 15km northwest of the Golden Saddle deposit.

Stakeholder can earn a 100% interest in the 32-claim (665ha) CC property by paying $40,000 cash and issuing 400,000 shares in stages over a three-year period ($10,000 and 100,000 shares upon regulatory approval) subject only to a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on any mineral production from the property. Stakeholder will have the right to purchase 1.5% of the royalty for $1.5 million and a right of first refusal on the remaining 1% royalty. The property covers the ridge between Kirkman and Thistle creeks where placer mining is ongoing and documented historical production is estimated in excess of 63,000 ounces of gold. CC is strategically located between Kinross’s Thistle and Black Fox properties and contiguous to Arcus’ Touleary property.

Stakeholder can earn a 100% interest in the 82-claim (1,710ha) TAK property by paying $40,000 cash and issuing 400,000 shares in stages over a three-year period ($10,000 and 100,000 shares upon regulatory approval) subject only to a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on any mineral production from the property. Stakeholder will have the right to purchase 1.5% of the royalty for $1.5 million and a right of first refusal on the remaining 1% royalty. The property was acquired based on the placer and hard rock knowledge and experience of one of the vendors. A silt sample taken by the vendor returned 70ppb gold and is considered strongly anomalous for gold.

Stakeholder can earn a 100% interest in the 36-claim (750ha) VO property by paying $40,000 cash and issuing 400,000 shares in stages over a three-year period ($10,000 and 100,000 shares upon regulatory approval) subject only to a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on any mineral production from the property. Stakeholder will have the right to purchase 1.5% of the royalty for $1.5 million and a right of first refusal on the remaining 1% royalty. The property is interpreted to be underlain by the same geology as the White Gold property consisting of stacked thrust sheets of Yukon-Tanana schist and gneiss. Potential exists for intrusion related or orogenic gold mineralization.

Each property acquisition is subject to the execution of a formal option agreement, final Stakeholder board approval and regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Hinterland Metals Inc. holds a 25% interest in each of the CC and TAK properties. Stakeholder and Hinterland have certain directors in common. Accordingly, the CC and TAK acquisitions will be reviewed and approved by those directors of Stakeholder that do not sit on both boards. In addition, a director of Stakeholder holds a 25% interest in the VO property and accordingly he will abstain from voting on the VO acquisition.

VAL D’OR, QUEBEC–(June 20, 2011) - NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES

Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) (“Hinterland”) and Stakeholder Gold Corp. (“Stakeholder”) are pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced arrangement (the “Arrangement”) (see press releases of Hinterland dated January 20, April 4 and June 8, 2011).

On June 13, 2011, following the approval of the Arrangement by Hinterland’s shareholders at its annual and special meeting held on June 7, 2011, Hinterland obtained the final order from the Superior Court of Québec (the “Final Order”) to complete the Arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act. Concurrently with the issuance of the Final Order, Stakeholder completed its private placement of subscription receipts (the “Private Placement”) for gross proceeds of $825,000. For more information on the Arrangement, Stakeholder and the Private Placement, see Hinterland’s information circular dated May 4, 2011 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

On June 20, 2011, the TSX Venture Exchange issued its final bulletin relating to the listing of Stakeholder. Therefore, the common shares of Stakeholder will commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange at 9:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) on June 21, 2011, under the symbol “SRC”. As a result of the Arrangement, the common shares of Hinterland (on a consolidated basis) will also commence trading on the same day and continue to trade under the symbol “HMI”.

Stakeholder’s main asset is the 200-claim (4140ha) Ballarat property located approximately 100km due south of Dawson City in the White Gold district of Yukon. Approximately 15km due north of Ballarat is Kinross’s White Gold deposit and Kaminak’s Coffe project is located about 20km southwest of Ballarat. In 2009 and 2010 Hinterland completed detailed deep auger-type soil sampling, prospecting and mechanical trenching. Two very strong gold-in-soil anomalies were outlined. Each anomaly appears to trend east-west for a minimum distance of 1000m on the property (Hinterland Press Release – October 28, 2010).

Hinterland will be primarily focused on the 306-claim (17,826ha) Kipawa rare earth element (“REE”) property located 140km south of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec and 90km north-east of North Bay, Ontario. The Kipawa area has long been known for its REE-zircon-yttrium potential. The Kipawa property is situated approximately 30km due west of the Zeus REE-zircon-yttrium deposit held by Matamec Explorations Inc. In 2010 Hinterland identified significant REE-in-soil anomalies on its Atwater and Lachine claim blocks (Hinterland News Release – April 20, 2010).

“By spinning out the Yukon gold assets into Stakeholder, Hinterland will be able to concentrate on Quebec and Ontario. We now have two well structured, well focused, prospective exploration companies,” commented Mark Fekete, President and CEO.

VAL D’OR, QUEBEC–(May 17, 2011) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) is pleased to announce that exploration work is well underway at the 306-claim (17,826ha) Kipawa Rare Earth Element (“REE”) project. The Kipawa area, located 140km south of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec and 90km north-east of North Bay, Ontario, has long been known for its REE-zircon-yttrium potential generally related to the Kipawa Syenite Complex (“KSC”). The KSC occurs as a 100 to 300m thick, sheet-like body which can be traced around an arc-like structure for almost 100km.

The present Kipawa property is situated approximately 30km due west of the Zeus REE-zircon-yttrium deposit held by Matamec Explorations Inc. In June 2010 Matamec announced that an independent resource estimation has defined an indicated resource of 3.35 million tonnes at a grade of 0.58% total rare earth oxides (“TREO”) with 0.89% zirconium and an inferred resource of 6.48 million tonnes at a grade of 0.60% TREO with 0.99% zirconium (Matamec News Release – June 3, 2010).

Hinterland’s current exploration program will involve extensive, detailed, deep auger-type soil geochemical sampling at a number of locations identified through a compilation of government stream sediment data to have anomalously high, coincident yttrium, samarium, europium, and cerium values. This type of soil sampling has proven by Hinterland to be an effective method for identifying prospective REE targets. On the Lachine block, one strong, circular anomaly was detected with combined REE values up to 1835ppm as well as five other spot anomalies (Hinterland News Release – April 20, 2010). On the Atwater block, three linear anomalies were detected with combined REE values up to 1091ppm.

“Our initial sampling work was very wide spaced. We intend to nail down the REE mineralization with this tighter sampling pattern,” explains Mark Fekete, P.Geo: President, CEO and designated “qualified person” as defined in Section 1.2 in and for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the technical content of this release.

Loyal readers will recall that on April 5, 2011 I advised my readers that I was buying the Yukon gold rush.  If you are really loyal you will have noticed the companies I currently own shares in that are currently exploring in the Yukon are listed on the left margin.  I made particular mention of Hinterland Metals Inc.

First and foremost I want to fully disclose that I am long the stock at an average entry price of .175 cents a share. I have completed my report and want to add some clarity to those that have been emailing me about it.

On January 20, Hinterland announced that they will spin off their Yukon gold assets into a new public company. The purpose of this spin off is clearly defined in the linked press release.

The spin off of the Yukon gold assets into a new company is an effort by Hinterland to realize the true value of these assets and Hinterland’s remaining assets in Quebec and Ontario by providing a specific geographic focus for Newco and Hinterland respectively. By unlocking the value of these disparate assets, Hinterland endeavors to grow existing shareholder value and attract new investment at both the retail and institutional level.

All Quebec exploration and non-Yukon assets will be held in Hinterland and all Yukon properties will remain in the new company.

We learned on February 1, 2011 that the new company will be named Stakeholder Gold Corp.

Val d’Or, Quebec – Hinterland Metals Inc. (HMI: TSX-Venture) wishes to provide, further to the January 20, 2010 news release, details of the intended spin off its Yukon gold assets by a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) that will involve the incorporation of a new company called Stakeholder Gold Corp. (“Stakeholder”) and the distribution of Stakeholder shares pro rata to existing Hinterland shareholders. Included in the assets to be spun off are the Ballarat, Culvert, Erin, Divide and Coffee gold properties. Hinterland will retain 7.5 per cent of the Stakeholder shares and a 1.0 per cent net smelter return royalty on any future mineral production from certain of the transferred assets. The Arrangement will also involve a consolidation of Hinterland’s share capital on a one for four basis. The net effect of the Arrangement will be that existing shareholders of Hinterland will receive one post-consolidation share of Hinterland and 0.925 shares of Stakeholder for each four pre-consolidation Hinterland shares held. Shareholders will then have an interest in two distinct, well structured public companies each with a clearly defined exploration focus.

Let me break this down for you.  I will use nice easy round numbers.

A 1 million share ownership of HMI at a cost of .19 cents per share is my example.  This represents a $190,000.00 investment. Currently the outstanding shares of HMI are lofty on a fully diluted basis but this is why the rollback is required. Following the rollback, HMI investors will be left with a nice tight float and shares in the new venture focussing exploration efforts on the most prolific gold rushes Canada has seen in decades.

After the transaction is finalized, said investor using the above example will be left with 250,000 shares of HMI.  HOWEVER, they will also receive 231,250 (250,000 times .925) shares of the new venture, Stakeholder Gold.   Consider the hypothetical $190,000 investment into HMI.

According to HMI’s disclosed share structure there are 86,773,317 shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.  Add to that the 3.3 million stock options granted to insiders at .16 cents in February and the 9 million shares and warrants from the December private placement and you have a float of roughly 100,000,000 shares outstanding.  At 18 cents this works out to be a 18 million dollar market capitalization.  Following the roll back HMI will be left with 25,000,000 million shares out. Using today’s close of .19 cents, this gives us a market capitalization of roughly $16,479,330.23 and assuming all warrants and options are exercised, $19,000,000.00.

When we compare market capitalizations for Abitibi-Greenstone explorers (with emphasis on rare earth/gold explorers), we find that well-positioned players command on average $5m-15m of market cap.  Assuming $10m for HMI (ex-Yukon), that would translate to approximately $.40 per new HMI share ($100,000 of value based on today’s 1m share purchase in the said example).  However, as I do the math, it is with Stakeholder that you get your valuation lift.  Premium Yukon (White Gold Region) properties gain their valuation based upon four criteria: 1. Location 2, how and When acquired 3. Soils analysis (geochemistry) and 4. Management. I will briefly touch on all points.

1. Stakeholder’s showcase property is the Ballarat Property covering a four by six kilometer block sandwiched between Kaminak’s Coffee property and Kinross’ (see Underworld’s) Golden Saddle property. It straddles the noteworthy Ballarat Creek, one of the most prolific gold-bearing creeks from the historic Klondike Gold Rush of 1903. It is also located in the highlands due east of the Yukon River and east of the famous Klondike placer deposits.
2. This property was one of the first properties staked by HMI during the same staking rush that saw famous Timmins prospector Sean Ryan assemble the Golden Saddle and Coffee claim blocks. In fact, those that I have interviewed tell me that the HMI crew beat the Ryan crew by twenty minutes in securing the claim.
3. Soils and trenching were completed in the summer-fall 2010 work season with soil analysis returning a highly-impressive 800 ppb. Au as reported last October. This is significant when compared to the early soils done on the Golden Saddle by Ryan’s Ground Truth Explorations where the range of values were between 65-87 ppb. and resulted in the discovery. Also noteworthy is that early soils on Kaminak’s Coffee property, specifically the Latte and Supremo Zones where soils averaged around 90 and 200 ppb. respectively.
4. 4. Management is extremely competent and has been active in the Yukon since the very early days. CEO Mark Fekete hails originally from Whitehorse , YT and is familiar with a great many claimholders and prospectors in the White Gold region.

The other property of interest is the Culvert, located in the SE area of the Yukon and in the vicinity of a 2010 discovery by Northern Tiger.

Back to the property that intrigued me the most in my research. Ballarat.  The Ballarat gold property located approximately 100km due south of Dawson City in the White Gold District of Yukon. Ballarat covers the south-eastern slopes of Thistle Mountain. Historical cumulative placer gold production from creeks draining Thistle Mountain including Ballarat, Thistle, Kirkman, Sparkling and Barker is reported to be 104,604 ounces in the period 1913 to 2006 (Compiled from Yukon Placer Mining Industry volumes published by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada).  Approximately 15km due north of Ballarat is Kinross’s White Gold deposit with a current resource estimation at the Golden Saddle zone of 1,004,570 indicated ounces at 3.2gpt Au and 407,413 inferred ounces at 2.5gpt Au; and at the Arc Zone of 170,470 inferred ounces at 1.2gpt Au (Underworld Press Release – January 19, 2010). Kaminak’s discovery hole of 15.5m over 17.1gpt Au at the Supremo zone (Kaminak Press Release – May 26, 2010) is located about 20km southwest of Ballarat.

• The company’s Ballarat Brochure can be viewed here.
• The company’s slideshow presentation can be viewed here.

Summary: Four-star ratings in all four categories places (soon to be rolled out) Stakeholder Gold at the top of the heap in terms of potential but most significant is the THE MARKET CAPITALIZATION.   HMI’s current market cap of $19m is what I would assign to Ballarat alone using the comparables noted above.  So, in effect, HMI investors (as I see it) are getting the rest of the assets essentially “for free”. I see the Yukon assets commanding a market cap of $25m post rollback and post spinout. With approximately 25m shares issued, that would imply a fair price of around $1.00. Your hypothetical one million HMI today would spin you out 231,250 shares at $1.00 or $231,250 against your 1,000,000 purchase today. Add the $.40 per share for HMI’s Abitibi assets ($100,000 of value) and you should net $331,250 of value against your $190,000 outlay. And that’s before they even drill a hole! Divide that return by the actual amount of shares you purchase.  Not everyone is in a position to buy 1 million shares.  For example a $19,000 investment (100,000 shares) should net you $33,1250 using this valuation calculation.

As you will note from my past research I look for value.  I bought and held Explor Resources for 3 years because I felt it had not achieved true valuation by the market.  I bought Tinka Resources because it was not given a proper valuation.  I am doing the same with Hinterland.   I am not implying that Ballarat will produce a massive gold discovery however I urge you to look at the soil samples and then compare them to the soil samples present in the two aforementioned discoveries.  (my core positions remain in tact on those two mentioned examples) What we have is a company with a better than average SHOT at the big one which, as of now, is UNDERVALUED relative to its peers in consideration of the above information.

Please join the discussion below if you have any comments to make or if you have any other observations.

DISCLOSURE: I AM LONG HMI STOCK AT AN AVERAGE PURCHASE PRICE OF .175 CENTS.  I will make no predictions as to stock price as it is all contingent on exploration results, gold prices and market currents. I have given you my thoughts on valuation.
