NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Reporter analysts recently interviewed CEOs of three booming gold and minerals companies. Michael Richings, Chairman and CEO of Vista Gold Corporation, Inc. (AMEX:VGZ), Bruce Winfield, President and CEO of Portal Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:PDO), and Alan Branham, President, CEO, and Director of Midway Gold Corp. (TSX-V:MDW) are featured in these exclusive video interviews, recorded at the Hard Assets Investment Conference in San Francisco, which can be viewed at www.wallstreetreporter.com.
Started in 2004, Portal Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:PDO) is currently exploring four property packages. President and CEO Bruce Winfield discusses how the company raised money before the liquidity crisis, telling us, "We're cashed up and we have excellent management."
Highlights Include:
-- Portal Resources' diverse property portfolio, with plays in gold,
copper, and uranium.
-- Argentinean uranium projects, one of which surrounds the largest
uranium play in the nation.
-- The experienced management team's large position in the stock.
Alan Branham, President, CEO, and Director of another promising explorer and developer, Midway Gold Corp. (TSX.V:MDW), also spoke with Wall Street Reporter. Mr. Branham discusses the company's recent growth, adding, "If you want an aggressive Junior Explorer that's finding three new gold deposits in a politically stable area, you should consider Midway Gold."
Highlights Include:
-- How Midway has built a resource base of 1.3 Million ounces of gold
in the past three years.
-- The company's drilling of over 250 holes this year, which is more
than any other Junior in the Nevada gold sector.
-- Current plans to list on the AMEX for better exposure to
American markets.
Also making big gains in the gold sector is Vista Gold Corp. (AMEX:VGZ), whose unique strategy of acquiring gold at market lows and waiting for the price to rise is paying off. "You should see a considerable re-rating of the company," Chairman and CEO Michael Richings tells us. "It could be several times its share price in the next three to six months."
Highlights Include:
-- Vista's seven projects, which represent 13.5 Million ounces
of gold resources.
-- The company's Mt. Todd project in Australia, which totals 3 Million
ounces of resources and 1.6 Million ounces of reserves.
-- How the company's 2001 financing at $1.50 is now valued at
approximately $13.50.
