VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 24, 2010) - Prophecy Resource Corp. ("Prophecy" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PCY)(OTCQX:PRPCF)(FRANKFURT:1P2)
Dear All,
I am pleased to provide this "Letter from the Chairman" of Prophecy Resource Corp. and to share with you my optimism for 2011 and beyond.
2010 was highlighted by several accomplishments including 5 successful mergers and acquisitions, namely:
Additionally we:
When I began Prophecy in October of 2009 we had $500,000 in market capitalization; today our market capitalization exceeds $170 million and we are well-funded for our 2011 business plan. In 2010 Prophecy traded over 130 million shares on the TSX Venture Exchange. (Not included are trading of Red Hill and Northern Platinum shares during the acquisition periods, which represents 20 million additional shares of trading.)
Prophecy's objectives for 2011 include the following:
We conclude the year with 35% to 40% ownership by institutions and insiders, including major Mongolian shareholders. In 2011 I will continue to direct Prophecy's transformation from a Canadian junior company to a profitable coal producer with a fast developing asset base and an internationally recognized management team. In 2011 I intend to attract additional cornerstone investors to raise our international profile.
I want to thank our team, and particularly our shareholders for your un-wavered support and patience. I also want to particularly extend my foremost gratitude to Mr. G. Arnold Armstrong, the founder of Red Hill Energy, for his faith in me to head the post Prophecy-Red Hill merger entity.
I met recently with Mr. Rob McEwen and was reminded that he began as an investor with no public company management experience before heading Goldcorp, where he transformed that company from $50million in market capitalization to over $8 billion.
GoldCorp's share price achieved a compounded annual growth rate of 32% under his tenure. Peter Munk ,was in the hotel business before founding Barrick, which is now the world's largest gold producer.
I am deeply inspired by Rob, and believe investor confidence and trust are earned by our hard work, integrity, and determination to build Asia's next major energy company. If we put our heads down and execute our well defined plan, with shareholder value in mind, the share price and everything else will take care of itself.
I invite you to be part of Prophecy and share with us an exciting future.
Happy Holidays.
Sincerely,
John Lee
Chairman and CEO
