GOLD PRICE & PRODUCTION TRENDS |
|
Gold prices increase, 2001 to 2008 |
|
From $362 to $920 an ounce |
|
http://www.nma.org/enumerate/gold/gold.htm |
|
But U.S. gold production declines, 2001 to 2006 |
|
United States: from 335,000 kilograms to 251 kilograms |
|
California: from 13,800 to 1,000 |
|
http://www.nma.org/pdf/g_production.pdf |
|
Because, for example, no proposed mines in California |
|
. Statewide, no large operations are actively mining gold, and regulators say that’s because of restrictions put into place in recent years. |
|
A supervising planner with the Kern County Planning Department, said many companies are not applying for gold mines because of a 2002 state regulation that requires all metallic mines to be backfilled, a process in which material taken from the site to create the mine is returned to the pit. |
|
" That was a substantial change in mining activities in the state of California, and as a result, there really are no mines that are being proposed because of that requirement," he said. |

RECENT VIPR DEVELOPMENTS |
|
> VIPR acquires the highly promising Singida Gold Concessions located in the stable confines of Tanzania, July 28, 2008.
. VIPR acquired the Singida Gold Concession Property as an asset purchase for 5,543,000 restricted shares from Kinti Group Inc., a Toronto, Ontario, and Tanzanian based private company.
. The property is located directly adjacent the Shanta Gold Deposit. Shanta results have thus far indicated a total gold resource in excess of 543,000 ounces, of which 330,000 ounces have been classified as a measured resource and 127,000 ounces as an indicated resource according to Shanta and GeoLogix MRC (Pty) Ltd. (at a 0g/t cutoff).
. Due to the positive Shanta results and its close proximity, VIPR believes a strong potential exists for similar anomalies along its concessions. The Singida Concessions are viewed by VIPR as favorable, based upon the aerial magnetic survey which appear to highlight possible hotzones and drill targets that are expected to yield results similar too those of Shanta, eventually allowing open put mining.
. Shanta has reported an indicated gold resource (an estimated in–place mineral resource for which quantity and/or grade are calculated with a degree of assurance less than that for "proven" (measured) reserves) of more than $500 million.
. The Singida Concessions are classified as mining licenses, not prospecting licenses which will save time and resources as it moves forward. Mike Gerstner, President and CEO of VIPR Industries Inc. commented, "We are pleased to have acquired the assets from Kinti Group, and have high expectations for the Singida Mining Concessions as it moves towards proving an economically feasible gold deposit.
. Management anticipates moving forward with a plan that will quickly allow it to develop a mining plan for the Singida Gold" Concessions ]." Mr. Gerstner further commented, " A budget and strategy is being prepared to describe the steps to be taken to explore and develop the property, for presentation to prospective financing sources. |

> VIPR prepares for the OTCBB, July 23, 2008
. Has diligently complied with all Pink Sheets requirements necessary to change its designation to current issuer status to provide greater corporate transparency and disclosure.
. VIPR has retained the services of accounting firm, Chisholm, Bierwolf, and Nilson to act as its independent auditor of record. The firm has been engaged to perform an audit on its year end for years 2006 and 2007, a review of its most recent quarters, and is now in the final stages of review for completion. The audit is to be used for an anticipated registration statement, expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the coming weeks. |

PROPERTIES |

VIPR's Singida Property |
|
consists of 8 mining claim blocks, covering an area of approximately 73 hectares with an option for further concessions in the region. This prospect is located along strike from the Shanta Gold discovery area, and displays similar characteristics to Shanta’s newly found Gold Tree and The Jem deposits. |
|
Gold Tree, Jem and London 1 Targets |
|
The exploration drilling at Gold Tree and Jem has identified several relatively continuous high grade mineralized shoots along several hundred meters of strike. The Gold Tree mineralization occurs along a 350 meter strike section displaying continuity below 250 meters depth with SD257 intersecting a 4 meter wide zone averaging 6.78 g/t. The gold is hosted by sheared basaltic meta-volcanics and interflow meta-sediments and is associated with quartz veining, biotite, arsenopyrite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite mineralization. |
|
The gold mineralization at The Jem situated 500 meters along strike from Gold Tree extends along a 600 meter strike section with down-dip continuity below 250 meters depth. Borehole 5D401 intersected spectacular mineralization with coarse native gold in quartz veins. |

Itigi / Manyoni Uranium Prospect |
|
Tanzania - 170,000 Hectares |
|
Uranium bearing granites are known to be a source of uranium deposit both in duricrust and in sedimentary sequence. The level of erosion in these granitic rocks may have played a great role in the economic potential of uranium deposit. The deeper the level of erosion and stripping off of any high level granite differentiates; the result is the accumulation of an economical uranium deposit. The radiometric surveys in the area have identified a total of 14 u- zones in qds 141 and assigned priority for a follow-up. Most of the anomalies lie on the superficial comprising of undifferentiated soils (the kilimatinde cement). |
|
The license area lies in a zone which has mean uranium count of 36, mean total count of 2000, high uranium count of 52, u/th ratio of 1.02 and u/k ratio of 1.53. A total four point source which is significantly high fall in the license area. Point source 141/31 of uranium count 52cps, 141/49 of uranium count of 45, 141/44 of uranium count 47 and 141/53 with uranium count of 44. |

VIPR VALUATION METHODOLOGY & MARKET CAP POSSIBILITIES |
|
Assumptions |
|
(1) Reviewed in the context of advanced, new gold exploration technologies, for example
http://www.newmont.com/en/operations/exploration/technology/index.asp
(2) Gold extraction cost averages $238 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold
(3) So the gross margin per ounce at today’s price would be is $920 less $238, or $682 per ounce on the average, assuming the Sales, General & Administrative costs, financing costs and taxes average about $600 an ounce, the bottom line profit could be in the range of $82 an ounce, which is in line with some of the comparables.
(4) VIPR outstanding shares are increased over time form 28 million to 40 million |
|
Discussion |
|
> If VIPR could mine 24,000 ounces per year, and with a 30 p/e multiple (in the range of the smaller comparables above).
> Then the market capitalization would be in the range of $60 million
> With an adjusted 40 million shares outstanding, price per share could approach $1.50 |
