Investor Conference in Fort Lauderdale to Spotlight Emerging Energy and Mining Sectors
Investor Conference in Fort Lauderdale to Spotlight Emerging Energy and Mining Sectors
A dozen oil, gas and mining companies
will be featured among more than 30 presenters at The Growth & Value
Investor Conference "Spring Break for Wall Street," a free, two-day event
beginning February 27 at the Westin Fort Lauderdale.
These national and international companies will offer a rare, inside look
into the core of their strategies, strength of management and the potential
for profit.
At each session, attendees will hear informative presentations from each
company's Chief Executive Officer and senior executive management, followed
by question and answer sessions. Further,
one-on-one opportunities are available with the CEOs and executives.
"Today's stock markets offer true investment opportunities for equity
investors -- particularly in the growth and value sectors," said financial
advisor, James DePelisi, who is sponsoring the event. "The Growth & Value
Investor Conference has carefully designated a cross-section of specific
firms representing these sectors."
One Houston-based company, Evolution Petroleum Corporation (AMEX: EPM),
announced an increase in operating revenue and interest income sources
25.1% to $3.8 million in Fiscal 2007, from $3.0 million in Fiscal 2006.
4,594 net acres and twelve proved drilling locations were acquired for
development projects during the period. At June 30, 2007, EPM had about $28
million in cash and no funded debt.
Another Texas company, Midland-based United Fuel & Energy Corp.
(OTCBB: UFEN), recently announced it has expanded its board of
directors from six

The
Canadian-based gold producer, exploration and development company recently
announced gold production forecasts for 2008, estimating that its Casa
Berardi mine will produce between 160,000 -- 170,000 ounces of gold in 2008
at an average grade of 8.6 grams of gold per tonne. Average daily mine
production is estimated at 1,800 tonnes per day, an increase of 20% over
2007.
Denver's Golden Star Resources (AMEX: GSS), another gold miner featured at
the conference, announced last month that fourth quarter gold production in
2007 was 56% higher than the gold production in the fourth quarter of 2006
