most can be viewed on website. Click on "investor relations" and then click onthe"shareholder Documentation " link on the website at www.ad-investments.com.

Anyone seen the news in MEN, same could happen here, there is still a big demand for investors to pump money into shell companies, maybe Paul Johnson knows a few investors, shells are back in the trend, and this is as good as any, we might get a bounce on the back of MEN's news.

ken you say planwise is dead . but no one has found a link that shows planwise is an on-going business as such .
I always thought planwise was a mirage ( holding company ) that was a way of getting cash into ADI.
I would love to see a link connecting Rourke and planwise.
as said before the amount of shares issued to planwise was enough to stupper any plans PJ had regarding EGM voting and no matter what happens it would be in ADI's best interests to keep PJ onside and by crossing the 10% again it shows investors that he is still interested.
maybe PJ could have a pharma deal up his sleeve that way the tax losses could be utilised

I think Regen loan is going to be called in which will mean good bye Regen as they don't have funds to repay . then there will be the ADI RTO by a pharm

Rovi, still dosen't take away from the fact that ADI are:


Debt free,
Cash in bank - lets say circa £100k
Access to a drawdown - approx £200k
Potentially has tax losses to utilise either via ADI or RGT - circa £20m
Pending an admission document
Mkt Cap circa £600k
Only 550k shares in issue - Majority tightly held by 20-30 investors?
ADI has been cleaned up and no skeletons left in the cupboard

Shells and micro resource companies have been exploding as of late, a good deal here will see handsome returns for those have been patient..

As always DYOR

Gauno/potash/fertilizer.



Not ADI but one can see the value of potash( if it is a derivative of Gauno) and of the possibilty of the NZ connection(if there is one).





Potash Minerals secures US Federal permit for Utah potash project April 29, 2013

Potash Minerals Ltd. (ASX:POK) has announced that the United States of America (USA) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has approved the Company's 90% owned K2O Utah LLC's Hatch Point Potash Exploration Project.



The Company is delighted to report this development to shareholders, and views this as achieving the most significant milestone since acquiring the K2O Utah Potash Project.

The US BLM Federal Potash Exploration Permit awarded to K2O Utah is the first one to be granted in Utah for more than 25 years according to company research. K2O Utah is also the only applicant to receive a "Non-Known Potash Leasing Area (Non-KPLA) Designation" in Utah during this time.

Mr Ben Binninger, Director, Potash Minerals, said "The timing of the approval and the expansion of exploration activity at the project could not come at a better time."

"Currently the US market is primarily supplied from imports. New sources of domestic potash will help the USA become more self-sufficient in this critical agricultural commodity. As a result, in addition to being good news for shareholders, any success at K20 Utah will be watched with anticipation by the local US market and by prospective investors," Mr Binninger said.

18 months old but first time I have seen anything on USOP talking about listing on AIM..



Importantly the new funding adds more than just cash, with it has come a number of new institutional investors. McDonnell emphasised that he was very satisfied that these institutions have come on-board.

Another important corporate development is also on the horizon. McDonnell told us that USOP is planning a step-up to the AIM market – a move that will broaden its appeal to new investors, particularly overseas investors.

"We're actively working to put a plan together to move onto AIM, which is the right thing to do. It's important because a lot of our investors and potential investors are based in the United States." McDonnell added: "The shares are being followed by a number of institutional investors in the states."

He hopes to have arranged the AIM listing by the end of the summer.

From Phil Oakley, across the river from the City


Dear Reader,

Gold has had a quiet year.

Despite the prospect of more money printing by the world's central banks, and minuscule interest rates, it seems that not many people see inflation as a big threat at the moment.

But things can change quickly in the financial world. Often the best time to buy things is when nobody really wants them. It's interesting that renowned investors George Soros and John Paulson have been buying gold recently.

It looks a smart move to us. Gold is worth holding, if only as a form of insurance against paper money going bad – which it eventually will – if all the printing continues. We certainly see no reason to hold low-yielding government bonds.

But what about gold mining stocks? If you believe that you should own gold and that it will go up in price, surely gold stocks are a good investment?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boost your dividends

Most investors don't know this, but there's a simple way you could double, triple or even quadruple your dividends.

So whilst everyone else collects a 3% payout... you could pocket 12% or more.

It gets better: these dividends are just as frequent as "regular" dividends – they're just much bigger.

Start boosting your dividends right away by clicking here.

Large gold miners have been disappointing investments

The logic behind owning the shares of gold mining companies seems quite sensible. By having a slice of the company's gold in the ground you should benefit from leverage.

By this, I mean that a rise in the gold price – other things being equal – should lead to a bigger proportional rise in the profits of the gold miner. Of course, the same leverage works in reverse when gold prices fall, which makes owning gold stocks a riskier proposition for an investor than owning the metal itself.



But the relationship between gold prices and the price of gold stocks has broken down sharply this year. Have a look at the chart above. It tracks the spot price of gold (yellow line) with the HUI index of gold mining stocks (white line) during the last year. It contains a lot of the major players such as Goldcorp Inc and Barrick Gold.

The HUI index includes gold mining companies that do not hedge the price of their gold production beyond 18 months. This means that these companies should see their revenues closely correlated to changes in the price of gold.

Yet, as you can see during the last six months, gold stocks have significantly underperformed against the price of gold bullion. But even over a longer period of time, a broad index of gold stocks like the HUI has done worse than bullion.

It's been better to own physical gold

During the last ten years, the HUI index has gone from 120.8 to 424.3 – an increase of just over 250%. Now that's pretty good, and a lot better than having your money in most stock market funds.

But the price of gold has risen from $308 to $1,604 per troy ounce – an increase of 420%. There have been brief periods when gold stocks have performed better than gold but it doesn't look like the leverage theory has worked out in practice. Why?

There are several reasons. One is the fact that gold mining companies used to hedge their production by getting another party – typically a bank – to buy their output at a guaranteed price. Scarred by years of low and lacklustre gold prices, they wanted some security for their efforts. As the price of gold surged many companies lost out on big profits because they had already agreed to sell their output for much lower prices.

Now, of course, hedging is virtually non-existent among most major gold mining companies. But the other big problem they've now encountered is cost. It's costing a lot more money for mining companies to get their gold out of the ground. Cash costs have soared due to high energy prices and the cost of specialised workers.

This has meant that profits have actually been going down at a lot of gold mining companies. It's quite ironic that gold companies that have been seen as beneficiaries of inflation have now become victims of it.

Then there's the growth in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have made it a lot easier for investors to own physical gold. Some investors have also bought gold royalty companies such as Royal Gold (Nasdaq: RGLD) or Franco Nevada Corp (NYSE: FNV). These companies finance gold mining companies and get a share of their production revenues (a royalty) in return. This means their profits are linked to the price of gold but are not dragged down by cost inflation. As a result their shares have done well, leaving them trading on punchy multiples of expected profits.

So when will gold miners live up to their promise?

You could say that if gold stocks haven't done what they should have done, then why bother with them?

Well, some interesting changes are afoot in the sector. And when gold sees a renewed surge of interest – as we expect it will – neglected gold stocks could benefit.

Looking at the table below, the big companies don't look screamingly cheap on traditional measures such as price/earnings multiples (although Petropavlovsk's valuation looks intriguing). However, dividend levels at companies such as Newmont Mining are getting towards a reasonable level as miners realise they need to give investors an incentive to buy the stocks rather than an ETF.

With the rest of the mining sector being hit by the slowdown in demand for industrial metals, you also have to wonder how much longer rampant cost inflation will be hurting gold miners. If other big players are cutting back on projects, then the pressure driving up the costs of staff and machinery will ease off.

But there's one other major driver that could ignite the sector – and that's takeover activity. The big question is: if the gold assets of these companies are genuinely cheap, then why haven't they been bought by corporate buyers?

Well, now it looks as though they might be. Yesterday, Barrick Gold, which owns 74% of African Barrick Gold announced that it might consider selling its interest. This morning it has said it's in 'preliminary' talks with China Gold. I took a look at African Barrick in detail earlier this month in MoneyWeek magazine: Shares in focus: Africa's largest gold producer, (if you're not already a subscriber, get your first three issues free here.)

My colleague Simon Popple looked at some other promising gold miners in his recent cover story for MoneyWeek – you can read the piece here: Gold still looks good – but miners look even better. If you're interested in precious metals miners, you won't want to miss Simon's new newsletter, launching shortly. Look out for it.
