John Embry Franconia Minerals Corp. FRA-T(dead) TOP PICK Sep 19, 2006

Huge poly metallic potential ore body in Minnesota. Very low grade, but has an asset value of about 5 or 6 times what the stock is trading for. Also drilling a big copper play in Arizona. Very cheap.

(A Top Pick Feb 8/07. Down 2%.) Has been disappointing. Extraordinarily cheap. As a massive deposit in Minnesota. Still a Buy.

Has a project in Minnesota where you typically find large low grade, poly-metallic minerals. Which means a mixture of copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, gold etc. This increases the recovery costs. Buy when metal prices are down, (which gives more potential for up side).
