Notice that many press releases like to trumpet about "revenues", but in actual fact the more important measure(s) are profits and cash flows.....

The Think Environmental Co Ltd announces MOA to acquire gold mines in Mali, Western Africa

http://info.sgx.com/webcoranncatth.nsf/V...1003B9596/$file/Pressreleasemaligold6Dec2010.pdf?openelement

Don't think any SGX listed company deals with gold mining. Could be an interesting acquisition.

it is said in the announcement :

The Kolassokoro licence covers a surface area of 250 km2. Based on a report prepared by Societe Emas
Mali S.A., the mine covered by the Kolassokoro license has a geological reserve of over 50 tons of gold.

50 tons = 50,000 kilograms = 50,000,000 grams.
1 gram of gold is about 45 USD.
50,000,000 x 45 USD = 2,250,000,000 USD.

Wow. Unbelievable. Too good to be true.

For those still interested.

The Think Environmental Co. (TTEC) released it's FY2011 results yesterday. (link here)

I think it's interesting to note that TTEC has divested/looking to divest all of its Environmental-related ('Green') business interests in order to go into Gold mining.

Call me skeptical but when a company isn't doing well in its core line (office furniture manufacturing) and chooses to diversify by going into flavours of the season (Eco-friendly business then subsequently Gold) and worse still, shows that it's not quite savvy enough to create new areas of growth (as evidenced by its exit from the Eco-friendly business), can an investor still trust management? Is there Value in such a company or is it just tikum-tikum and hope for the best?

My personal verdict is: Investors beware.

Btw, check out this statement from TTEC regarding their exit from the Eco-friendly business. How did they overlook the fact that Power Generation Plants are a capital intensive affair and financing would be a key concern?

The primary reason for the disposals was that the gestation period for the projects that the two companies are involved in is taking longer than expected. The same applies to the Company’s investments in Industrial Power Technology Pte Ltd (“IPT”), Think Environmental Ltd (“TE”) and Think Greenergy Ltd (“TGE”).

IPT continues to face challenges in securing additional EPC (engineering procurement and construction) contracts for
biomass power generation projects as a result of project owners facing difficulties in obtaining financing while TGE
has difficulties securing financing to complete the waste to energy power generation plants.

Gold mining is also capital intensive....

The name says it all, this company is all about thinking, not about doing.
Should we invest...I dont THINK so.
