Accordingly, SmallCapMedia believes that Petaquilla is unquestionably one of the most undervalued investment opportunities in the natural resources sector. Indeed, there is already considerable intrinsic value built into the Company's share price that has been largely overlooked by the investment community. But that is about to change for a number... of compelling reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that a dynamic new management team is breathing new life into the Company. Moreover, the advent of a recently revitalized market for precious and base metals, alike, is dramatically improving the overall economic picture for Petaquilla's joint ventured flagship copper deposit, which is part of the Minera Petaquilla S.A. Project. (The project languished for several years during a drawn-out slump in the mining industry that only ended in early 2003). The burgeoning global demand for metals, especially copper, warrants taking the last few steps towards bringing this world-class deposit into production. Likewise for Petaquilla's adjacent Molejon gold-silver deposit though a production decision for this much smaller and more manageable project could come much sooner, probably within 9-12 months. Let's first consider the one "company maker" project that is the greatest catalyst to much higher share price multiples for Petaquilla. This is the jewel in the crown of a richly mineralized mining camp that hosts at least four gold-silver-copper-molybdenum porphyry deposits, as well as three gold-silver deposits. Significantly, all of these discoveries are closely clustered together on the Company's core jointly held land concession in north-central Panama. Located no more than 15 kilometres from the Caribbean Sea, they are in fact strategically situated within 100 kilometres of the Panama Canal. Petaquilla also wholly-owns exploration rights to hundreds of square kilometers of concessions that surround the joint-ventured main project area. They too are in comparably close proximity to the Panama Canal. By way of ...Read More
