Galway Resources Ltd. , which dropped 10 per cent yesterday, today announced complete assay results from three diamond drill holes and partial results from another four holes at its Vetas gold-silver project, host of the El Volcan gold-silver mine that has been in operation over 400 years and is the largest mine in the California-Vetas-Surata gold region. The company also announced that a third diamond drill rig is scheduled to arrive at Vetas later this week, which will target extensions on Galway's side of the common border to CB Gold's discovery of 7.57 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 114.98 meters in what appears to be the same stockwork zone that Galway initially discovered through extensive sampling and geophysical exploration programs in late 2010 and early 2011.



Wallbridge Mining Company Limited moved closer to a year low of 15.5 cents on Monday in losing 8 per cent and closing at 17.5 cents. But it might find some support around these levels based on a 50 day and 200 day SMA of 18 cents and 17 cents respectively. Today, the company announced that it has received the metal balance results of its Broken Hammer bulk sample program. It currently holds a 98.5 per cent interest in the Broken Hammer Property while Xstrata Nickel retains a 1.5 per cent carried interest with some buy back provisions.



Canadian forest products maker Tembec Inc fell 4 per cent and touched a day low $2.50 yesterday, taking it closer to a year low $2.12 after it said late in the trading day that it will sell some of its non-core assets to a private company for $13-million. Around 260,000 TMB shares changed hands yesterday, double the average volume for the previous 30 days. However, the stock might find some buyers at current levels as its 50 day and 200 day SMA stand at $2.55 and $2.54 respectively.
