| Comment | 2.160 | Jeff Parent B. Eng. FCSI | Looks very good technically. There was a big, big rally in early 2011 followed by a pull back. Tested its low and is now finding a bottom again. Looks like it is getting ready to take off, possibly up to a $3 level. Put a Stop in at around $1.95. | 2012-04-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.230 | James Hodgins | Very, very speculative. Effectively extracting alumina from clay. If their technology ramps up and scales and is commercial, the stock could be a home run. He feels these types of situations are very dangerous. He still has a small short position. | 2012-04-09 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 2.230 | Alice Tsang | (A Top Pick April 20/11. Down 50%.) Still likes. Stock was halted when their PA did not meet the 43101 requirements and they have to refile. Issue has to do with the rare earth component so it doesn't really impact the story. Recently signed a deal with the worlds largest aluminum producer. | 2012-03-30 | |
| HOLD | 2.230 | Michael Smedley | Been through a stormy period. Picture got a bit stormy so he sold it from his funds but he holds it himself. Thinks it will start trading again. It is going to be stormy when it resumes. | 2012-03-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.820 | James Hodgins | Producing alumina out of clay. Has a small Short position in this company. He is still not convinced that the process is economic at this point. Some analysts have pointed out that it may not be as positive as originally thought. | 2012-01-27 | |
| BUY | 3.050 | James West | Most disturbing technology to come along in the aluminum sector. In discussion with aluminum producers to license technology. They have sufficient supply and an advanced process upon which they are delivering. Upside is tremendous. | 2012-01-17 | |
| WAIT | 2.870 | Michael Smedley | He is waiting to see if certain things happen. If they sign contracts to supply. The process works but can you really apply it I the real world. You only wait so long, a month or two. | 2012-01-10 | |
| WEAK BUY | 2.360 | Peter Imhof | They are trying to create alumina from clay. Still in a “show me” stage. Going into production in the 3rd quarter next year. He still considers it a concept stock as there are no revenues or earnings presently. If you have a long-term perspective, and if it works, it will be a multiple bagger. Otherwise it could go down dramatically. | 2011-12-29 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 2.210 | Alice Tsang | (A Top Pick June 24/11. Down 37.53%.) Everything is going accordingly. Have hired key people and the project is developing well. Expecting to produce the high-grade alumina in 2012. Expecting contracts any time./ | 2011-12-16 | |
| Comment | 2.280 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | There is a little bit of support at the current price and you could buy now. It had better hold or you might see $1.70 followed by $1.40. | 2011-12-15 | |
| Comment | 2.600 | Michael Smedley | (Market Call Minute.) Alumina processes is tricky and this one is very clever. Seems to be proven but has to win contracts. | 2011-12-13 | |
| BUY | 2.530 | James West | Has technology that creates pure aluminum directly from alumina clay. Have already delivered 70 tons to a smelter. This is one that a major must own and someone has to take it out. | 2011-11-23 | |
| WEAK BUY | 2.750 | Michael Smedley | Clever process for extracting alumina from clays in Québec. Have put out 70 tons of samples and now has to wait and see. Critical that in a couple of months aluminum companies will cooperate and use this instead of bauxite. Feels the process is working. Don't put too much into it. High risk but very interesting. | 2011-10-31 | |
| BUY | 2.380 | James West | Follows it enthusiastically. You get aluminum out of clay. This is going to disappear for a great price. | 2011-10-25 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.660 | James Hodgins | Have a new process for processing alumina. When entering a bear market, these types of companies with a bit of a science aspect and unproven in terms of commercial technology, do very poorly. He is Shorting the stock. | 2011-10-20 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 1.470 | Alice Tsang | (A Top Pick June 24/11. Down 53.69%.) Producing aluminum from Clay. Progressing very well. In the process of converting their pilot plant into a commercial plant, which should generate about $100 million in cash flow. Trying to find out why the stock is dropping. | 2011-09-29 | |
| BUY | 1.960 | Allan Jacobs | Have a patented process to make high-grade alumina from clays in Québec. There is huge demand for alumina both from aluminum producers and for high purity alumina.. Has its risks. No sales or earnings yet. They keep moving forward and it is an interesting company. | 2011-09-27 | |
| BUY | 2.630 | Peter Imhof | Want to turn clay into alumina. Have been able to do it in small batches and have been increasing the size of the batches. Good story long-term. There could be some hiccups getting into full-scale production. Execution risk. Still a concept stock. | 2011-08-29 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.380 | Jim Huang | New technology for cheaply extracting aluminum. Successful on a small pilot scale and the next critical step is to do it on an industrial scale. Almost too good to be true. Too risky for him at this time. | 2011-07-13 | |

| TOP PICK | 3.490 | Alice Tsang | (A Top Pick Apr 29/11. Down 18.16%.) New way of producing aluminum from clay. Located in Quebec. Norwegian company has done some more testing on their technology with good results. Will be able to produce aluminum in a very cost-effective way. At a full run, the plant can produce about $70 million. | 2011-06-24 | |
| WAIT | 3.290 | Michael Smedley | Startlingly exciting process for getting aluminum out of clay in Quebec. It is always difficult to know that a process fully works. Another challenge is that they have to get people to convert to this aluminum. | 2011-06-14 | |
| TOP PICK | 4.470 | Alice Tsang | Patented technology lets them produce alumina out of clay deposits. At different PH levels, different elements precipitate. Testing the technology to produce dysprosium and other metals. Still a lot more upside. Will result in cost savings for Cdn smelters. Currently Cdn smelters are importing metalurgical alumina;buying from Orbite can save up to $150/ton transportaion. Metalurgical alumina costs about $400/ton currently. Looking to expand pure alumina plant (pure alumina sells for about $400 thousand a ton) from 1 ton per day to 5. | 2011-04-29 | |
| TOP PICK | 4.360 | Michael Smedley | Have clays in Quebec, which is not their main focus where they have just announced rare earths and Scandium. Have a revolutionary production of alumina, which is normally taken from bauxite. Potentially very exciting. | 2011-04-18 | |
| STRONG BUY | 3.240 | Peter Imhof | Found a proprietary way to extract alumina from clay stone, which they patented. This will reduce costs by about 50%. Will also be able to produce high purity alumina with margins at about 90%. | 2011-03-28 |
