Investment Idea: 270% Gains in 8 Months

How a $30,000 Start-Up Investment Turned Into $2.17 Million
Robert Schmidt isn't your typical millionaire.
Although he's often found sipping margaritas on the beach at Key Largo, Rob is no corporate CEO. He's not the heir to an industrial fortune and never set foot in an Ivy League classroom.
In fact, two years ago, Rob was a small-town high school English teacher. A family man, he had a three-bedroom Victorian outside Boulder, CO. And his mortgage was endless.
That was before a friend of a friend introduced him to an investment that changed his life forever.
In the time it took for him to drink his morning coffee, he learned about a special, time-sensitive investment that packed the kind of profit potential even the most seasoned investors rarely dream of.
At the time, Rob was only looking to make his payments a little easier. To him, a 20% return was like winning the Powerball.
He only had $30,000 to play with. But it turned out to be more than enough.
Within two years, that $30,000 stake in this special investment would explode into more than $2.175 million.
And aside from a small portion that he withdrew to pay off the rest of his house in full, Rob isn't moving a dime from this gem - yet.
That's because this same investment that's already gained more than 11,066% is only one signature away from tripling again! I'll show you how you can take advantage of it in just one second.
But more importantly, if you wish you had gotten a piece of that blockbuster from the ground floor, don't worry.
The same opportunity is unfolding all over again for a brand new company that just went public in 2006 to take advantage of Lake Superior's $550 billion secret. Only this time, the gains could be twice the size - and come twice as fast.
The company already controls 2,648 acres in the region, or about 4.14 square miles.

To get you up to speed, I just put the finishing touches on my newest research report that spells out all the details of these two explosive opportunities. It's called Precious Metals Investing in the New Millennium, Volume II. Inside you'll find all of the details behind the play, how much you should invest at what price, and most importantly, how much you stand to make.
And I want you to have it . . . for NOTHING!
I urge you take advantage of this limited-time offer that's already making in-the-know investors a fortune. But you have to hurry. The stock has more than tripled since November.
So let me quickly tell you what it's all about.
After 1.1 Billion Years, a Geological Monster is Hotwired for Explosive Gains
855 million years before the first dinosaurs - before there were trees, fresh water and clear skies - when the earth boiled with volcanic activity and algae ruled the oceans, a massive area surrounding what would become Lake Superior was busy collecting the bulk of the world's copper, nickel, and platinum group metals.
All together, it's the largest known multi-metallic deposit in the world. And as you can see below, it's absolutely massive.
The Lake Superior Treasure Chest

One particular part of this region (the part colored purple) holds metal in such abundance, it's estimated to exceed $550 billion in value.
But it doesn't come without a hitch. The freakish formation locks up the precious metals through its unique mix of ores in the ground.
Even so, that didn't stop the first U.S. Steel iron miners who discovered the deposit from trying to extract the valuable metal.
As early as the 1950s, people with gold-rush fever ditched their jobs and flocked to the area with dreams of a quick fortune.
Every attempt failed.
Copper Crisis
To prevent a shortage of coins and illegal melting, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago suggested in its February 2007 letter gradually taking the penny out of circulation.
One time after another, money was lost. Companies went broke.
Adding insult to injury, the entire area was test drilled to determine the actual amount of metals under the ground.
The 1,900 test results only confirmed that the deposit was bigger than previously imagined.
At today's metal prices, the deposit is valued at $550 billion.
An Extraction Technique on Steroids
It wasn't until 1999 that a tiny company - a company I got my readers into at $0.05 a share in January 2002 with a market cap then of just $5 million-developed an extraction technique that was perfect for the job.
After more than 50 years of companies going broke and a decade of hard work by this company, it finally paid off when it proved the metals could be mined.
And it's all thanks to a special hydrometallurgical process.
I know it sounds like a bunch of jargon. And if you're not a chemist, the specifics behind how it works are nearly impossible to understand.
I won't bore you with complicated equations. There's no time for that.
All you need to know is that a hydrometallurgical procedure (HP) uses a liquid to separate metal from ores and ore concentrates.
It's far from a new concept. Regular HPs such as in-situ and heap leaching are responsible for a great deal of mineral extraction throughout the world.
Zaldivar, the world's largest active copper mine, requires heap leaching to extract its 2.8 million tons of copper from the soil.
Witwatersrand in South Africa, by far the world's largest gold deposit, has been using a hydrometallurgical process for decades.
But what I'm telling you about is no ordinary process. This one's on steroids. And quite frankly, nothing else on earth comes close.
You see, a normal process can extract only one metal at a time - and only from certain types of deposits. Conventional processes didn't work well for any metals in Minnesota's soil. On top of that, they're extremely costly.
That's why this process is so successful.
It doesn't just extract the metal from the soil with ease. It extracts all of the metals - at the same time.
Not only will it extract the massive metal deposits, but it's going to save countless millions of dollars in the process.
All this company needed to start stockpiling metal was a facility for extracting the massive loads from the earth.
Unfortunately, constructing one would cost about $250 million. But luckily . . .
They would never have to spend a single dollar building a plant
The final piece to this billion-dollar puzzle sat rusting just eight miles to the south - a shut-down iron mill.
Easily renovated into their extraction facility, the iron mill was huge. Without breaking a sweat it could chomp through 100,000 tons per day.
That's enough to handle the loads of four companies in the area.
It was owned by a company eager for it to get some use.
To top it off, it came complete with rail lines, roads and electricity.
Negotiations to acquire the mill started almost immediately.
Test drilling and extraction feasibility studies began to show how much metal this company's property contained.
Mining permit papers were put in the works.
And with every hint of good news, investors experienced gains that turned into fortunes.
The Makings of a 33,300% Return
Here's the thing I love about getting in on the ground floor of companies in this area (especially now that there's a process and a facility for extracting the metals):
Because of past test drilling, we already know how much metal is in these spots. But since new rules make the old results "unofficial," tiny companies can sneak in and acquire land while it's still cheap. Then, as the "official" drilling and feasibility results come in, the value of the companies skyrockets - and so do their stock prices.
They don't even need to go all the way into the production phase for investors to make a killing.
Just take a look at the gains churned out so far by the company I've been telling you about:

This chart is an early-stage investor's dream.
And the biggest gains are just around the corner.
The 11,066% winner that's only one signature away from tripling again

So far, people who invested in this company from the ground floor have been able to turn every $5,000 invested into more than $558,333.
But here's the thing: This company still doesn't have all the permits needed to begin mining. Since it's still waiting for full permission, the true value of the company can't be realized - yet.
That's all about to change. Within the next couple of months, this $3 company is going to be producing. In fact, it's so close, there's just one final thing that needs to be issued - the environmental permit. And when that happens, investors just like you are going to see the stock price triple.
In the meantime, the rally in anticipation of the news has already started.
And as much as I want you to rapidly triple your money with that play . . .
I'm also going to show you how to get in on the ground floor of another opportunity like the one that's already gained 11,066%.
Imagine knowing that you could travel back in time and invest in this company when it was on the ground floor.
Nickel Crisis
"World nickel production was at an all time high in 2006, but could barely keep up with demand . . . . The U.S. hasn't produced nickel since 1999"
- 2007 U.S. Geological Survey
The only difference now is that:
There's no time and money wasted developing an extraction process - it's already been done.
No need to build or find a processing facility - the first company already took care of that, with room to lease.
The property is much bigger.
The concentration of metals under the soil is twice that of the first company.
There's a media frenzy around the area as the first company goes into production and other investors rush to get an early piece of the action.
It boils down to much more rapid gains than what the first company has already experienced.
But you have to hurry. Investors who have been with us since November are already sitting on more than 250%.
Check it out:

Now, this is just getting started. They've only turned in a few drill results. And there's many more to come before they're ready to go into production. But people are beginning to catch on . . . that's why time is so important here.
Secrets of a Mining Speculator
Hi. I'm Greg McCoach, editor of The Mining Speculator.
For the past six years, while other investors played stale blue chips, I've been showing home-run investments to people just like you.
In fact, of the 35 stocks that are currently in the Mining Speculator portfolio, only five are down. And of the 30 stocks that are up, thirteen are up over 500% apiece... eight of which have gain more than 1,000%.
Last year, while a lot of commodity investors got hurt during the correction, we posted a year-end return of +144%.
This year's not going to be any different.
Now, other analysts might call my stocks "speculative." But the thing is, I don't just pick up any old low-priced stock.
No, no, no. There's a reason why we're sitting on these consistent, massive gains - and luck has a lot less to do with it than you might think.
The thing is, over the past two decades, my experience has shown that there are three critical elements to raking in eye-popping returns.

Number One: The Advantage of Junior Mining Companies
Why invest in juniors?
That's easy - money and unparalleled leverage.
You see, it's not uncommon for junior mining companies to experience huge gains (tenfold or more) very quickly as news of a discovery leaks out.
"When I first met you, you told me I could use the profits I would make in the mining stocks to pay off my house. I didn't really believe you. Two and a half years later I recently wrote a check to do just that. I never thought this would be possible. Thank you so much for your wise guidance."- Robert, Illinois.
On top of that, the exploding bull market in precious metals not only focuses more attention on the sector, but also causes even more money to be spent on exploration. And the payback on a new find increases dramatically.
It works like this:
Say, for example, we find a million-ounce deposit of gold. And an engineering study suggests it could be mined over ten years at a cost of $250 an ounce, including capital. Now, let's assume gold sells for only $350 an ounce.
That deposit's worth roughly $100 million.
But check this out:
If gold shot to $400 an ounce (a 15% increase), the value of the same gold deposit launches to $150 million (a 50% gain). That's over 300% leverage to the gold price (50/15).
Right now, with today's gold price of $685, that deposit's worth $378 million. And if gold hits $1,000 an ounce, like many analysts are predicting, that same deposit would be worth $750 million!
Now that's leverage!
And that's why I love these two companies working right now in northern Minnesota. With commodity prices where they are today, it's a no-brainer.
But there's more.
You see, in the mining world, it's no secret that most mineral deposits are found by junior mining companies and individual prospectors.
There are several reasons for this:
Junior explorers are not slow-moving bureaucracies like many senior companies. Juniors make fast decisions both in the boardroom and in the field.
Senior resource companies generally have a different role to play, namely, to fund and put into production deposits discovered and developed by juniors.
But it's the talent, motivation and dedication of their management teams that is the secret to most juniors' success.
When I invest in a junior mining company, I'm investing in its management team as much as I am in its promising projects.
Number Two: Know the Management Team Inside and Out
Listen: When I'm looking at a company, I spend hours, days, and weeks with CEOs and geologists - even with companies I would NEVER recommend.
It's the only way you can truly get a feel for their expertise.
After all, in the mining business, if an exploration geologist finds a mine, it's likely that he'll find others.
It's a fact that far fewer than 5% of all exploration geologists will ever be credited with a discovery leading to a producing mine. What's more, less than one out of every 1,000 exploration sites will ever turn into a mine.
Copper History
Copper was the first metal to be used by humans. Copper weapons have been found dating as far back as 7,000 years ago.
But those select, gifted explorers who find numerous mines seem to have a sixth sense that helps them to succeed.
Finding these geologists isn't the easiest task in the world.
I'll admit that it took quite a few failures before I started finding the perfect traits in an exploration company.
But they're all drawn to it for the same reason . . . money.

It's the huge potential that comes when a discovery is made.
You see, as part of a junior mining company, the geologist who makes the discovery might get $10 million, $20 million or $100 million in capital gains for his efforts.
After all, in the life cycle of a mining stock, it's the exploration phase that provides the biggest move in share price (leverage). Just like we've already witnessed with the first company.
The best and brightest mine finders know it. And they'll search the world over to make a new discovery. When they do, the monetary rewards are tremendous, for both the management team and for investors.
In your free report, Precious Metals Investing in the New Millennium, Volume II, you'll learn all about the dedicated management teams behind my top plays for 2007.

Number Three: The Simplest and Most Overlooked Part of Making a Fortune in Investing
It's best summed up by J. Paul Getty, one of the most successful investors of modern times. What did Getty know about building wealth and investing for spectacular gains that his contemporaries didn't?
Several years before he died, Getty shared his "secret." In his autobiography, he explained that whenever he made an investment, he tried to apply this simple principle:
"If you want to make money, really big money, do what nobody else is doing."
In Getty's own words, "Buy when everyone else is selling and hold until everyone else is buying." This isn't merely a catchy slogan. It's the very essence of successful investing.
But as simple as it sounds, too many people do just the opposite. They buy high and sell low. They're trend followers or, to put it more bluntly, they follow the crowd.
The successful investor is a trendsetter, not a trend follower. He gets in - and out - ahead of the crowd.
Copper Facts
Silver is the only metal that conducts electricity better than copper.
The ones who do, especially during a precious metals bull market, are rewarded with explosive gains.
How much?
Well, the last super bull market in precious metals, from 1975 to 1980, saw many mining stocks go from under $2.00 a share in 1975 to hundreds of dollars a share by 1980.
A $5,000 investment in Lion Mines in 1975 turned into $27.14 million. That's right. Over $27 million from just $5,000.
In 1986, a $5,000 investment in Barick gold would have turned into $329,787!
That's what J. P. Getty was talking about when he said, "If you want to make big money, really bigmoney . . . !"
Guess what?
We're entering another phase in the bull market for precious metals. Just take a look at their run over the past five years.

If you had invested just $5,000 in Denison Mines in 2003, you would have made more than $395,000.
A $5,000 investment in Aurelian Resources in early 2006 would have turned into $390,000!
And mark my words: The second phase of the commodity bull market is just getting started. The moment I realized how explosive these gains were going to be, I had to seize the opportunity.
Welcome to The Mining Speculator
In January of 2000, I set out to create the most profitable mining investment advisory service the world's ever seen - The Mining Speculator.
We don't waste time with stocks that dawdle on their way up the ladder. We're investing for one reason - to become filthy rich.
Since 2000, we've found some of the most undervalued and explosive stocks on the planet.
We scour the earth for these opportunities as protection against the financial uncertainties that currently engulf U.S. and world markets. As the saying goes: "Periods of great crisis also offer great opportunity."
Right now - without question - the best opportunities for investors to protect themselves against the coming financial reckoning are with precious metals and mining stocks.
"I have never made this kind of money at investing. I am addicted to profits!" - Jim, Utah
In addition to our picks in the mining sector, we dish out the most accurate and truthful economic commentary to help investors just like you sift through the massive amount of disinformation put out by the mainstream media and the government.
And we're seeing some explosive gains.
Check it out:
Mining Speculator'sPortfolio Performance
That's a 212% average gain for the past five years - year after year!
Some of what we have to say is hard to swallow. And some people just don't have the stomach for index-busting gains. If you think The Mining Speculator isn't for you, don't worry. It's really not for everyone.
But if you think you can handle it, keep reading.
How a small stake of $10,000 became $2.4 MILLION within five years!
Had you been with us since 2001 and started with $10,000, after reinvesting the gains and the original capital at the beginning of each year, you'd be sitting on $2.4 million. Now that's the magic of compounding!
And I'm not talking about a few picks, either. Right now, we're loaded up with 22 open positions, only five of which are negative. And, winners and losers included, we're still up 144% since January 1, 2006!
To make triple-digit returns, you need triple-digit plays.
Right now, with 17 winning positions open, seven have already hit triple-digit gains.
We've even had nine positions bring back more than ten times the original investment since 2000!

And like I said, we're just getting started in this new commodities bull market. I fully expect to see more of these winners before the run is over.
That's why I've just finished a new report called "Precious Metals Investing in the New Millennium, Volume II" that details these two tiny companies sitting on the world's largest deposit of copper, nickel, gold, platinum and palladium. And I want you to have it . . . for NOTHING!
