Mercator Gold upbeat for 2010, plans name change to Electrum Minerals: Mercator Gold PLC (AIM:MCR; OTC: MTGDY) said it expects to enter the second quarter of 2010 with metal prices at levels that will allow mining companies to fund projects and to make profits, as it reported results for the 15 months to end-September 2009. The group reported revenue for the period of £4.06 million, against nil in the year to June 30 2008. Pretax loss narrowed to £4.4 million against £31.9 million in the comparative period when Mercator booked a £30 million impairment charge after it was forced to close down its Meekatharra gold mining operation due to spiralling costs. During the period under review Mercator acquired interests in two mineral development projects, one in Papua Province, Indonesia and another in New Mexico, US. The first of these was the acquisition of an interest in an alluvial deposit in Papua that is known to have produced more than 100,000 ounces of gold at very high grades. The second was the acquisition of an exclusive option over the Copper Flat project in New Mexico, at a time when copper prices were much lower than those which currently prevail. “We see Copper Flat as an attractive option on the copper price through a technically straightforward open pit mining project. The deposit contains over US$2 billion worth of metal at today’s prices and we believe that Mercator will be able to add considerable value to the project with some innovative development,” it said. Mercator’s balance sheet has been significantly strengthened as a result of the acquisition of the cash generative Thai manufacturing business ACS Asia, in October 2008 and as a result of the partial divestment of the company’s interest in Silver Swan. Earlier this month, it announced entering into a binding agreement to acquire an interest of up to 70% in all of Uranio AG’s (XETRA: UAI) exploration and mining licences in Argentina. A four-month due diligence period is underway. The group said it has now re-established itself with a range of assets beyond those that were envisaged at the time of the AIM flotation in October 2004. “In moving forward to a new future it is proposed by the board that the company be renamed Electrum Minerals PLC and a special resolution to this effect will be put to shareholders at the AGM."

FTSE 100 and Dow Jones flat on mixed US data, S&P 500 and NASDAQ fall: Overview: the FTSE added just 0.1%, failing to fully recover from Thursday’s decline as today’s US economic data was mixed. US retail sales turned out to be better than expected, showing a 0.3% improvement in February, however, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index dropped from 73.6 to 72.5 during the month. Royal Bank of Scotland (LSE: RBS) led the blue chips with a 5% advance, while base metal miner Eurasian Natural Resources (LSE: ENRC) and satellite telecommunications company Inmarsat (LSE: ISAT) followed with gains of 4.5% and 4% respectively. Other notable risers included broadcaster BSkyB (LSE: BSY) and tour operator Thomas Cook (LSE: TCG), which were up 4% and 3%, as well as airline British Airways (LSE: BAY), hedge fund manager Man Group (LSE: EMG) and plumbing and heating materials manufacturer Wolseley (LSE: WOS), which all tacked on 2.8%. Just five FTSE 100 constituents lost more than 1%. Bank HSBC (LSE: HSBA) was down 1.6%, while insurance focused investor Resolution (LSE: RSL), insurer Standard Life (LSE: SL), Imperial Tobacco Group (LSE: IMT) and Scottish & Southern Energy (LSE: SSE) all lost slightly more than 1%. In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average started flat, the broader S&P 500 index was down 0.15% and the technology heavy NASDAQ composite lost 0.25%. Commodities Crude advanced today, nearly reaching US$83/barrel after recent demand growth projection from OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) was supported by international energy watchdog International Energy Agency (IEA), which today said it expected global oil demand to rise by 1.6 mmbbls/d to 86.6 mmbbls/d this year. The IEA also revised its global demand estimate for 2009 to 85 mmbbls/d. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) said that higher oil demand could drive the prices to US$92-97/barrel within the next three to six months. Oil also benefitted from this week’s inventory update from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), which reported a surprisingly low increase of 1.4 mmbbls (million barrels) in oil inventories a day after API (American Petroleum Institute) said crude stockpiles in the US added 6.5 million barrels, while a smaller increase was expected. Oil got further support in late afternoon after the US Commerce Department said that retail sales unexpectedly increased 0.3% in February, while a decline was expected, improving the outlook for crude demand. Brent Crude for May advanced to US%81.57/barrel, while US light, sweet crude climbed to US$82.79/barrel. Shell (LSE: RDSB) gained 1%, while fellow supermajor BP (LSE: BP) posted a small loss. BG Group (LSE: BG) and Tullow Oil (LSE: TLW) rose marginally, while Cairn Energy (LSE: CNE) outperformed fellow blue chips, advancing 1.3%. Oil and gas engineering firms Petrofac (LSE: PFC) and Amec (LSE: AMEC) added 2% and 1.2% respectively. Salamander Energy (LSE: SMDR) led the midcaps with a 3.5% gain. JKX Oil & Gas (LSE: JKX) rose 2.8%, while Soco International (LSE: SIA) was up 1.5%.

Dragon Oil (LSE: DGO) was flat and Premier Oil (LSE: PMO) lost just less than 1%. Services companies Wood Group (LSE: WG) and Wellstream Holdings (LSE: WSM) added 1.6% and 1%. Mongolia-focused Petro Matad Ltd (AIM: MATD) led the juniors with a 7% advance. Africa focused energy company Dominion Petroleum (AIM: DPL) and North America focused oil & gas junior Pantheon Resources (AIM: PANR) advanced 4.3%. Miners climb as gold and silver rise Gold prices improved today after the US dollar showed weakness ahead of key economic data, including the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index and US retail sales update. Gold is seen as a riskier alternative to the safe-haven US dollar and usually moves inversely to the greenback. The American currency rose this week amid uncertainly in global stock markets and due to weakness in the euro, which was under pressure from renewed worries over the Greek debt crisis and Fitch’s comments on another European debt laden country Portugal early in the week. The rating agency said it would cut Portugal’s AA rating if the ongoing fiscal consolidation keeps progressing at a slow pace. Jitters eased on Wednesday, when Portugal conducted a successful bond issue to raise US$1.34 billion to improve the outlook for its debt situation. Gold was under pressure from yesterday’s update from China, whose consumer price index increased to an annualised rate of 2.7% in February to spark speculation about further monetary policy tightening in the country. The yellow metal climbed to US$1,115/oz, while silver and platinum advanced to US$17.28/oz and US$1,620/oz respectively. Blue chip mining stocks were on the rise today. Silver and gold producer Fresnillo (SLE: FRES) climbed 1.6% to take the lead, while platinum miner Lonmin (LSE: LMI) added 1.4% and Randgold Resources (LSE: RRS) was up 1.4%. Specialty chemicals firm Johnson Matthey (LSE JMAT) advanced 1.8%. Midcaps were mixed as while Aquarius Platinum (LSE: AQP) and gold producer Petropavlovsk (LSE: POG) gained 1.2% and 2.3% respectively, silver producer Hochschild Mining (LSE: HOC) posted a small loss. Africa focused gold miner Pan African Resources (AIM: PAF) led the juniors with a 7% rally. Western Australia operating Norseman Gold (AIM: NGL) and Turkey and Ethiopia operating gold miner Stratex International (AIM: STI) followed with gains of nearly 4%. Turkey and Saudi Arabia operating gold explorer KEFI Minerals (AIM: KEF) slipped 7.5%. Miners advance as nickel rallies, copper steady Base metals were mixed. Copper held steady at US$3.36/lb, while nickel rallied to US$9.80/lb and zinc declined to US$1.05/lb. All major miners posted gains with the exception of BHP Billiton (LSE: BLT) and Xstrata (LSE: XTA), which were flat. Eurasian Natural Resources (LSE: ENRC) was in the lead with a 4% gain, while Vedata Resources (LSE: VED) followed, climbing 1.6%. Kazakhmys (LSE: KAZ) and Anglo American (LSE: AAL) moved up 1.5% and 1% respectively, while Antofagasta (LSE: ANTO) rose marginally. London's only listed pure iron ore producer and FTSE 250 constituent, Ferrexpo (LSE: FXPO) climbed 1.6%. Russia focused copper and nickel miner Amur Minerals (AIM: AMC) and iron ore focused investor Red Rock Resources (AIM: RRR) were the top performers among the juniors, rallying 8.5% and 7% respectively. Australia focused coking coal producer Caledon Resources (AIM: CDN) also did well, tacking on 4%. Tunisia focused metal miner Maghreb Minerals (AIM: MMS) and Kazakhstan operating gold producer and copper developer Frontier Mining (AIM: FML) headed in the opposite direction, shedding more than 6%. Banks, insurance, private equity Banking stocks were in demand today with the exception of HSBC (LSE: HSBA), which slid 1.4%. Part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland (LSE: RBS) and Lloyds (LSE: LLOY) were the top performers with gains of 4.9% and 3.2%. Barclays (LSE: BARC) added 2.2% and Standard Chartered (LSE: STAN) rose marginally. Old Mutual (LSE: OML) and Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) led the pack with gains of 2% and 1.6% respectively. RSA Insurance Group (LSE: RSA) added 1.1%, while Aviva (LSE: AV) and Prudential (LSE: PRU) rose marginally. Admiral Group (LSE: ADM) posted a small loss, while Standard Life (LSE: SL) slid 1.5%. Private equity group 3i (LSE: III) added 1.3%. Small Cap Movers Other notable movers among the small caps included vision based human machine interfaces focused technology company Seeing Machines (LSE: SEE) and mobile email and data synchronisation group Synchronica PLC (AIM: SYNC), which rallied 16% and 10.5% respectively.

African focused investment company Lonrho (AIM: LONR) has been promoted into the FTSE AIM UK 50 Index and the FTSE AIM 100 Index, effective from the 22 March 2010. The company’s inclusion into the key indices reflects Lonrho’s growth and its position in London’s junior market, then group said in a statement.

Jitters eased on Wednesday, when Portugal conducted a successful bond issue to raise US$1.34 billion to improve the outlook for its debt situation.

Shell, Tullow Oil, Bg Goup, Cairn Energy, Petrofac and Amec as Brent Crude climbs: Crude advanced today, nearly reaching US$83/barrel after recent demand growth projection from OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) was supported by international energy watchdog International Energy Agency (IEA), which today said it expected global oil demand to rise by 1.6 mmbbls/d to 86.6 mmbbls/d this year. The IEA also revised its global demand estimate for 2009 to 85 mmbbls/d. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) said that higher oil demand could drive the prices to US$92-97/barrel within the next three to six months. Oil also benefitted from this week’s inventory update from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), which reported a surprisingly low increase of 1.4 mmbbls (million barrels) in oil inventories a day after API (American Petroleum Institute) said crude stockpiles in the US added 6.5 million barrels, while a smaller increase was expected. Oil got further support in late afternoon after the US Commerce Department said that retail sales unexpectedly increased 0.3% in February, while a decline was expected, improving the outlook for crude demand. Brent Crude for May advanced to US%81.57/barrel, while US light, sweet crude climbed to US$82.79/barrel. Shell (LSE: RDSB) gained 1%, while fellow supermajor BP (LSE: BP) posted a small loss.

1pm raises £1.15 million to support lease portfolio growth: Specialist provider of lease asset finance to the SME sector 1pm PLC (AIM: OPM) has raised £1.15 million via a placing to help the company grow its lease portfolio further and enhance receivables and cash generation.The company said that the funds will also allow it to increase margins on lending by reducing the gearing on its lease portfolio through the proportion of company funding of new leases.A previous trading statement from 1pm said that levels of new business were disappointing and there was a requirement for an unexpectedly high level of bad debt write-offs. However, in today’s update, the company stated that trading and new business levels have been ahead of management’s revised expectations since the previous statement and it now expected a “significantly stronger” performance in the second half of the current financial year, while the lease portfolio was growing after losing part of its value earlier this year.The expected improvement in performance is due to an anticipated increase in demand for alternative funding providers such as 1pm as traditional bank lending to SMEs remains restricted in the aftermath of the economic downturn.“During what has been a difficult period for the financial services sector we have demonstrated that 1pm has shown great resilience. We are delighted with the interest shown in the placing and believe that the significant level of funds raised will strengthen the company considerably. There are signs that business levels are now increasing and the proceeds of the placing will allow us to write more business, improve lending margins and accelerate our return to profitability,” said chairman of 1pm Michael Johnson.

Randgold Resources, Petropavlovsk and Fresnillo climb as gold and silver firm on weaker US dollar: Gold prices improved today after the US dollar showed weakness ahead of key economic data, including the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index and US retail sales update, which is expected to show a decline in spending. The American currency hit three week lows against the euro and the Swiss franc, which climbed after the Swiss National Bank left its interest rates unchanged, but upped projections for growth. Gold is seen as a riskier alternative to the safe-haven US dollar and usually moves inversely to the greenback. The American currency rose this week amid uncertainly in global stock markets and due to weakness in the euro, which was under pressure from renewed worries over the Greek debt crisis and Fitch’s comments on another European debt laden country Portugal early in the week. The rating agency said it would cut Portugal’s AA rating if the ongoing fiscal consolidation keeps progressing at a slow pace. Jitters eased on Wednesday, when Portugal conducted a successful bond issue to raise US$1.34 billion to improve the outlook for its debt situation. Gold was under pressure from yesterday’s update from China, whose consumer price index increased to an annualised rate of 2.7% in February to spark speculation about further monetary policy tightening in the country.

Climate Exchange 2009 profits rise 2.4x as volumes and membership grow: Emissions trading exchange owner and operator Climate Exchange (AIM: CLE) reported a better than expected 2.4x increase in pre-tax profits to £6.8 million in the full year 2009 as revenues from core businesses soared 48% to £33.6 million. In the year to end-December 2009 two of its three operated exchanges posted better performance with improved volumes and membership figures.Annual volume at the European Climate Exchange (ECX) rose 82% to 5.1 Bt (billion tonnes), while the average daily volume at the Chicago Climate Futures Exchange (CCFE) soared 183% to 5,406 contracts in 2009 from 1,907 contracts in the previous year. ECX open interest finished the year at 5.4 Mt (million tonnes), marking a 53% improvement over the previous year, while ECX membership increased to 102 members from 95 in 2008.The company said the significant improvement in performance was despite a lack of progress in US emissions legislation and the economic downturn. ECX benefited from an increase in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) beyond the Kyoto timeframe, while the CCFE continued its growth in existing products and its innovation of new products with the company saying that there are several opportunities to build attractive markets in the US even if a Federal emissions cap and trade system is delayed.However, the ongoing legislative uncertainly pushed down the volumes at the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX).The company offered a cautiously positive outlook for 2010, which it said has begun with modest improvements in European volumes, while US markets continued lagging compared to the first half of 2009.Shares in the company were up 5.5% in early afternoon deals.
