The company’s adjusted profit beat analyst expectations.

Wednesday, the company also raised its annual dividend by 10% to 22 cents a share. The company increased its payouts twice in 2011.

The Canadian mining company has posted stronger revenue and adjusted profits over the past year, though foreign-exchange losses weighed on the company’s bottom line in the third quarter. Yamana has benefited–along with its peers– from higher prices over the past few years. Investment demand for precious metals stems from their ability to retain value despite higher inflation and times of crisis. The company’s operations are concentrated in South America.

In the latest quarter, Yamana posted a profit of $89.6 million, or 12 cents a share, down from $125.6 million, or 17 cents a share, a year earlier. The most recent period included an after-tax $81 million impairment charge. Excluding items, earnings rose to 25 cents from 23 cents. Revenue jumped 6.3% to $568.8 million, mainly due to higher gold and silver prices and increased sales of copper pounds.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a per-share profit of 24 cents on revenue of $601 million.

Production reached 276,918 gold-equivalent ounces, down 3.4% from a year ago. Averaged realized gold price per ounce rose 22%, while the average realized silver price per ounce rose 11%. Average realized copper price fell 12%.

Shares were up by 5 cents to $17.43 in after-hours trading in New York. The stock is up 42% in the past 12 months.

New samples returned up to 26.2 g/t gold mineralization findings over small lengths, reaching up to 2.5 meters. Earlier essay results from driving of the 398N Lode show a 13.08g/t average mineralization of gold. The company is yet to announce a full scale assay results of further samplings.

Share price struggled to keep the upward momentum today. Roughly 3% loss was recorded shortly into trading session, partly as a result of profit taking from the previous day. The trading volume was comparatively light, neither bears nor bulls were clearly dominant.

The bouncing share price has established a noticeable support level at 54 cents, providing short sellers a clear short term price target.

The company’s update on mine exploration can only be regarded as a short term catalyst.The fact that Cadan owns a promising gold mine has been known for a while and thus the announcements stating that the gold veins were proved to be slightly larger than though, don’t make that much of a difference.

As most development stage companies, Cadan raises most of the working capital through stock issuance and dilutes shareholders. The effect is clearly seen on the stock price chart which was dominated by downtrends and consolidation periods over the past year.

Things got exciting when Boxxer claimed to have expanded their gold-silver zone at Crescent Peak. The sampling program run on the property helped to identify significant precious metals mineralization along the 1.7 kilometer strike zone which the testing concentrated on.

Boxxer also stated to have nearly completed the survey on their other, Boss, project and the results should be anticipated in couple weeks time frame.

Sudden share price rally had some signs of short squeezes to it – moving up fast shortly after the announcement, but failing to sustain the trading volume throughout the day. Follow-up is not happening, even thought the price gaped up to open higher on Tuesday.

Following the rally, a new support area can be identified at 23-24 cents per share. Trading volume is still significantly above average, but if the rally ultimately fails the short sellers could come back with somewhat 5 cents per share (or 17%) before this support kicks in.

The reasons behind a possible rally fade lie in the interpretation of the mining results as well as the historic layout of the share price chart. While the company successfully confirmed the continuous precious metals mineralization, the news just proved earlier assumptions.

One can also notice that this is the fourth time the share price had gone up significantly since late 2009. Each time a slow depreciation followed the spike, but never went bellow the support levels established by previous price movements. This provides a basic heads-up on what can be expected if no more striking news come out.

An old English saying reads ‘Not all that glitters is gold’. Yet, yesterday’s trading session proved just the opposite for Talisman Holdings (PINK:TMHO). Its stock went up 38% to close at $0.04 per share on a record-breaking turnover of 18.9 million, head and shoulders above the minuscule daily average trading volume of 89 thousand.

For a sub-penny stock company, this performance was nothing short of stellar, especially considering that TMHO is a caveat emptor, occupying the very lowest OTC market tier. Moreover, the surge was not backed up by any promotional activities either. Prior to the session that took place yesterday, however, the company issued a corporate update of strategic importance.

On Apr. 10, 2011 TMHO informed investors it was about to place emphasis on the gold and precious metals industry from now on. In this respect, the company revealed to the general public that it had already acquired as many as 66 concessions in Guyana, stretching out on more than 77 thousand acres. In addition, the area has been reported to be rich in gold deposits. [BANNER]

According to CEO David Long, the Guyana gold project has the potential to provide ‘unlimited’ business prospects for the company not only in the immediate future, but also in the long run. The fairy tale would seem close to perfect, had it not been for the shady reputation TMHO has become notorious for. After all, any relegation to the ‘Challenger deep’ of the OTC market happens for a reason. At first sight, TMHO is a regular financial reporter and occasional press releases pop up every now and then.

Even if TMHO were to be upgraded to a higher market tier, its negative annual financial results for the period ended Dec. 31, 2010 would hardly provide traders with a lower degree of risk. However, if TMHO does strike gold with its current undertaking, its long-term liabilities of $1.4 million and net loss of $100K will vanish into thin air faster than the speed of light.

Top 15 Richest Fictional Character: 1-5

Blue Gold Beverages Inc (PINK:BGBV) came out of oblivion these days and delivered two intoxicating gains on a much higher than usual volume.

The first spike of BGBV followed immediately after the company was given clearance by FINRA, making it fully trading on the pink sheets quotation platform. The same day BGBV declared that would even make an effort to get listed as an OTCQB level company. Apparently, this event had produced a lot of excitement on the market as the stock surged 244% on a volume of 500 thousand.[BANNER]

Although the stock crashed the next day on a weak volume, it managed to regain its value yesterday by making another 233% jump in value. The volume was even higher than before with nearly 800 thousand shares traded. This time, however, 42% of the volume was shorted.

This time the surge was caused not only by the released news, but also by a trade alert which spread before the opening bell. The promotional helping hand was provided by Penny Stock Finder. Unfortunately, it was impossible to determine whether the promoter had received compensation for the e-mails.

BGBV is a company that produces private label water and specialty beverages. Since the company is just newly fledged on the pink sheets it is still early to estimate where BGBV is headed. At least, it seems that the company has grasped the tricks of the trade very early by incorporating the power of promotions in its first steps on the pink sheets market.
