Message: Lac Lamalee = Empirical Test for Smith

Lac Lamalee = Empirical Test for Mr. Smith

The good times buying at this low price had to end sometime. A slam dunk double is a given. My question is, assuming FNC begins releasing Lac Lamalee assays equal or greater than Fire Lake North's, can Smith "help" FNC's SP move to the equivalent levels CHM's SP moved up to when they first struck, subtracting the iron market decay of today and dillution.

When I said "help," I actually don't know what Larsen did behind the scenes to get that kind of demand. I know he had some key individuals in place in Europe to increase demand. But surely it wasn't just the assays alone which spoke for themselves that increased the SP. There was CEO management help that sold the assay numbers. Perhaps reviewing CHM’s history may be revealing.

Having just spoke to one of the Champion directors, the sentiment is that of incredulity of their low stock price. He said, "We're a steal right now." When I asked if he felt Fancamp was as well, he said consider that Smith kept Lac Lamalee for a reason, plus they own a part of us. It likely has the equivalent or better of their Fire Lake, plus 17.5% of Champion and NSR. It's nice to have that unofficial confirmation of FNC from someone outside. I ventured that perhaps considering the offer you made to FNC, the offer alone is worth more than the current SP. He wasn't permitted to discuss the offer, except that Smith wants more than they are willing to pay. He said Smith is playing a poker game that he can keep up with FNC's percentage of CHM’s drill costs.. Considering that the 3 Consolidated Thompson guys will assuredly get outtake investments, the deal doesn't necessarily have to include FNC's side -which means FNC would have to find their own investor or meet FNC's part of production outtake costs.

But CHM hopes it won’t get to that. They have a friendly relationship with FNC. They recently agreed that CHM can represent FNC and negotiate with Major for investments in the outtakes for 100% of the company.

I'm pleased Smith doesn't want to sell it cheap. We've criticized him for selling cheap for liquidity too many times. So I'm glad he hasn't accepted a deal from CHM yet. I just hope he knows when to let go of control of a property and make a deal when something favorable to shareholders is proposed. Both companies can benefit with ex-Consolidated Thompson personnel involvement.

In my previous post I showed why FNC can easily be a $3.00 company. Let me propose this, if Smith remained CEO, but he made the three ex-consolidated Thomson guys FNC directors and gave them free reign over Magpie, Lac Lamalee, and 17.5% CHM plus 1.5% NSR, I have no doubt that their connections and local experience would take FNC to a $5 to $7 dollar FNC stock price. Once again demonstrating assays alone do not increase the SP.Obviously in reviewing CHM’s history, director’s connections and experience contribute greatly.

I’ve included CHM’s history at the end. Obviously you can see the amount of energy and work Larsen’s team put in to take CHM to this level where ex-Consolidated Thompson can take them to the next level.If Peter Smith knows he can do it as well, superb. If not, needs to cut a deal with CHM.

But it might not be a matter of energy, it might be a matter of control. Can Peter Smith release control for the greater good of the property. As good as Larsen’s team is, they know they needed the ex-Consolidated Thompson guy’s involvement in CHM to take them to the next level. It is likely that the investing community refers to them and not Larsen when inquiring about Champion’s future. Smith may no longer be the star if he were to involve the personnel that can take a property where it needs to go. Would Smith be comfortable with this loss of control?

However, it's still too soon to be dealing right now. Let's see CHM's November results (they are expecting to release some more assays before then) and let’s see what Lac Lamalee has first.

But make no mistake. This week is more than just Champion’s May 27, 2009. The day they make contact (refer to CHM history recap).Fire Lake North’s first haul was in an environment where CHM’s Fermont was little known. It took 4 months on Nov 19, 2009 when CHM gives an M.R.E. with 500 meters of iron for the SP to triple from the first assay.I believe that this will be the point of entry for Fancamp, due to investor awareness for a unique vicinity play. Many eyes of the investment community are watching this area.

Therefore, this is a real in-your-face test for Smith. If Lac Lamalee has the same or greater ore then Fire Lake North, he has no choice but to prove to all if he has the chops as a CEO to make the SP equivalent to CHM's SP, minus the difference of iron ore prices then and now, and minus the OS then and now. This is as empirical a test as it gets for us to observe Smith as a CEO.It is not only a test for us to observe his ability as CEO, but for himself to honestly judge his performance and face, with integrity, his strengths and weakness in his ability to maximize a property. Does his desire to control outweigh the benefits of allowing someone else maximize a property’s value –as CHM has done? Or perhaps he’s got the energy, skill sets, and contacts.

I have reserved my judgment on Smith, because Fancamp really has yet to have the ore that Champion has demonstrated. Magpie is different because much was reliant on historical data. Chromite doesn't count because everyone figures Cliffs is content with what they've got. So really, this is the first real opportunity Smith has had to do it. One advantage Smith has in this instance is Fire Lake North has already brought attention to Fermont, so can the FNC CEO capitalize this.

Always before Fani and others have criticized Smith for not doing what Larsen did with Fermont properties. Looking back is always 20/20, with the exception of dilution. CHM has the OS we have now, except they got so much more out of it.Perhaps Rago is correct - the fundamentals of Fancamp have changed since then. Now with Lac Lamalee we will have proof positive unbiased evidence of what type of management runs our investment.

In summary, I’ve ridden Fancamp for a long time and have maintained faith in its management despite doubters. I’ve always endured because that crucial assay eluded us.I’ve patiently ignored Magpie’s lack of progress because there has been an aura that titanium reduces the feasibility of the property.I know that this issue is resolved, but I remain outraged that he hasn’t taken steps to dispel this issue.Yet still the greed of multiples remains, because FNC has great property potential.Always it’s been one more month, one more month. Finally, Lac Lamalee will have that one assay where Smith can prove his metal. Can he get the stock price to triple? And then get a Lac Lamalee PEA and NPV to get a 5 to 10 multiple? Then stack on top of this SP a PEA and NPV for Magpie? Stack on top of this our interest in CHM with their new PEA and NPV in Nov. getting us to $3 to $5?

Champion Minerals to Drill the Fermont Iron Property

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 12, 2009) - CHAMPION MINERALS INC. ("Champion" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CHM) is pleased to announce that a 5000 m drill program is being initiated to delineate iron mineral resources on the Fermont Iron Property (the "Property") located in the Fermont Iron Ore District ("FIOD"), 250 km north of the St. Lawrence River port town of Port-Cartier and centered 60 km southwest of Fermont in northeastern Quebec.

The Phase 2 Drilling Campaign

Champion plans to drill a total of 5,000 m on three of the Property's projects (Bellechasse-Midway, Fire Lake North, and Moire Lake East) that contain approximately 233,000,000 tonnes of historical resources that grade 30% iron (Refer to the Property's historical mineral resources table below that also includes the National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 non-compliant statement) which is typical of the iron grades for the FIOD and the Labrador City and Wabush iron mines.

The historical data from these projects were compiled and drill hole and magnetic sections were used to determine potentially large iron formations for drilling. Preferential targets are located within a few kilometres of existing road infrastructure and are those selected by the Company's geologists with the best potential to be validated as NI 43-101 compliant resources with upside potential.

---StockGreed Comment: So CHM started with a small program just like us. Who knew the future?

Champion Minerals Intersects Up to 28.7% Iron on the Fire Lake North Claim Block, Fermont Iron Property, Northeastern Quebec

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 27, 2009) - CHAMPION MINERALS INC. ("Champion" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CHM)(FRANKFURT:P02) is pleased to announce assay results from the winter drill program on the Company's Fire Lake North Claim Block of the Fermont Iron Property (the "Property") located 250 km north of the St. Lawrence River port town of Port-Cartier in the Fermont Iron Ore District ("FIOD") of northeastern Quebec. Champion is currently in the first year of a 5 year option agreement to initially earn a 65% interest in the Property from Fancamp Exploration Ltd. and the Sheridan Platinum Group Ltd.

---StockGreed Comment: No change after the first assay. Please note Larsen’s inexperience at writing Assays with very little juicy tidbits for investors. He will improve with later news releases. The result is the SP lingers with this intersection.

CHM lingers at .30c until 9/28/11 when it reaches .40c following grant of stock options. Then we give it away. Then Champion pays itself, giving directors skin in the game, perhaps giving them incentive to increase the SP.At this point no one had Champion’s Fermont on their radar.

---STOCKGREED COMMENT: It’s that 11/19/09 NR of 503 million tons inferred (not indicated) resource at Fire Lake North which nearly tripled the stock price. Now the following gets me a little worked up. It took only 4 months from503 inferred resource to begin metallurgical testing. What the hell took Magpie so long? Distraction, back on focusing on Fermont.I suspect that has everthing to do with CEO hunger to investigate a property properly.

Champion Minerals Drilling at Harvey-Tuttle and Fire Lake North Claim Blocks on the Fermont Iron Property; Metallurgical Testing In-Progress

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Aug. 24, 2010 (Marketwire) -- CHAMPION MINERALS INC. (TSX VENTURE:CHM)(FRANKFURT:P02) ("Champion" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that initial orientation metallurgical tests from the 2009 Fire Lake North drill core samples are producing excellent recoveries using gravity separation at a standard grind size to produce concentrate grading 65% Iron. Furthermore and significantly, no contaminants report to the iron oxide concentrate outside of market specifications. The Fire Lake North Claims are located within the Fermont Iron Property in the Fermont Iron Ore District of northern Quebec.

Test recoveries range from 83.6% to 89.2% Total Iron at a standard grind size of -20 mesh or 850 microns, typical for the Fermont Iron Ore District.

Champion Minerals Drills 361.5 Metres of Iron Mineralization at Fire Lake North

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Oct. 18, 2010 (Marketwire) -- CHAMPION MINERALS INC. (TSX:CHM)(FRANKFURT:P02) ("Champion" or the "Company") is pleased to update shareholders on the ongoing 15,000 m diamond drill campaign at the Company's Fire Lake North Claim Block from the Fermont Iron Property in northeastern Quebec. Currently there is one drill in operation and the Company plans on having three drills in operation shortly.

Tom Larsen, Champion's President and CEO, states "With BBA's preliminary economic assessment report expected before the end of October, the additional iron mineralization intersected in hole FL10-21 bodes well for increasing Mineral Resources at Fire Lake North notwithstanding what could develop with further deepening of existing holes left in mineralization in Q1 and Q2, 2010, as well as the potential of the newly discovered Northeast Zone. We believe that Champion can reach its goal of 1 billion tonnes of Mineral Resources at economic grades just in the surrounding Fire Lake North area quickly."

Drill hole LM11-12 intersected 503.4 metres grading 31.2% Total Iron ("FeT") on the southeast side of the historic Lac Moire Occurrence(1) . Drill hole, LM11-16, located approximately 400 m northeast and along strike of drill hole LM11-12, intersected 390.1 m grading 27.6% FeT and included an interval of 237.1 m grading 31.5% FeT. Drill hole LM11-09, located approximately 400m northeast of LM11-16, intersected 383.4 m of iron formation grading 30.3% FeT (see Champion's press release dated September 15, 2011). These three drill holes delineate approximately 1 kilometre of iron formation along strike, with down-hole intersections of 383 m to 503 m (core-length), and confirm the continuity of the iron-rich Sokoman Formation around the thickened southeast fold closure.

STOCKGREED COMMENT: In case it’s not obvious, the volume on 10/14/11 indicates a leak for another news release. Now can Smith make this happen with Magpie’s upcoming PEA and NPV and build momentum with Lac Lamalee assays utilizing all the momentum provided by the above NR’s by Larsen and CHM's Nov increased PEA and NPV?
