    Make a Lifetime Income by Using Multiple Streams of Income
    There is one major secret that you need to know in order to make a lifetime of income online. You can literally make an unlimited income with this secret. This secret is, of course, using multiple streams of income to generate a lifetime of unlimited wealth.The secret is residual income. Yes, that is it, residual income. Now I know you are thinking how in the world can I make a lasting income with residual income? I am about to show you a strategy that will give you an inside look at how I do it.I use programs that give me the opportunity to make money over and over again off of customers that I refer one time. These customers do not just make one purchase that I make a one time commission off of. These customers sign up for memberships or investments every month and give me commissions every time they buy something or renew their membership.With this method you can use residual income to create a lasting income. Imagine 100’s of your referrals renewing their membership each month guaranteeing you thousands of dollars. You will be able to get paid over and over from one amount of work, and personally that is my favorite way to make money.That is how residual income works. It is actually pretty simple.

    Idaho General Mines

    According to the company’s website, Idaho General Mines Inc. (GMO) “plans to become a major world molybdenum producer with the beginning of mining of Mount Hope in 2009. Idaho General holds the Mount Hope Project in central Nevada which contains one of the largest molybdenum-porphyry deposits in the world, a nearly one-billion ton ore body that will produce approximately 1.3 billion pounds of recoverable molybdenum during its 53-year lifetime. A feasibility study has been completed and the project is now currently being permitted for operations in Nevada.”

    This is probably the largest molybdenum property on our radar. We have wondered over the course of various email exchanges with the army of Idaho General Mines proponents (and possibly promoters) whether this property is too big. So far, it has held up to scrutiny. In an email exchange with David Michaud,

    Beware This Email Scam!
    I think most of us would not say no to thousands of Pounds (or Dollars) and a lot of us, myself included, amuse ourselves by entering various competitions. In the hopes that we may, one day, win something.But I've become aware of a scam, and I think the people who create the scam, target people who enter the online competitions, because they hope we won't remember which ones we actually went in for.Here's how it works... An email comes to your inbox. One email I received, said I had won ?5,000,000 in an online draw. Because I had gone in for several contests, all of them draws, I couldn't be completely sure I hadn't won. They asked for several details, name, address, occupation, etc. In short, nothing sinister like bank details or Insurance Numbers. I sent what they said to send, and one day later I had another email saying I had been cleared for the prize and I was supposed to contact a corrier company who would deliver my winnings to my bank... Could they please have the details? I emailed back and said I would not supply my bank details, and that if they were genuine, they could deliver the cheque to my home... I did not hear from them again.A couple of days later I had another email. This time from 'Euro Millions', or so
    Overview of Potential Primary Molybdenum Producers

    A few junior molybdenum developers were brought to our attention during our research in the molybdenum market over the past six months. Not all were included in this overview. We reviewed each and are reporting them alphabetically, not according to their merits.

    Adanac

    The principal project of the Adanac Molybdenum Corporation (AUAYF) is a low grade bulk molybdenum deposit located less than 100 miles southeast of Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Since the early 1970s, the Ruby Creek property has shown promise of, but only of an historical (Non 43-101 compliant) resource of more than 100 million tons with an average grade of 0.16 percent MoS2. The Adanac website boasts of 220 million pounds of Molybdenum, but no mining has taken place since a 1971 feasibility report was submitted on the property.

    Various mining companies have proposed mining and milling operations on the property, including Kerr Adison, Climax Molybdenum of BC, Placer Development Ltd and the original Adanac Mining and Exploration company. In a May 2005 NI 43-101 report, using a cut-off grade of greater than 0.10 percent moly, the company reported a measured and indicated resource of 24.2 million pounds of moly.

    Adanac Chairman Larry Reaugh optimistically reported in an interview on January 17th, “I would estimate that somewhere between 12 and 15 million pounds of moly a year would be produced from that mine for the first five years. The company is hoping for a partner to put up about $400 million to bring this project into production. Adanac offers a copy of its bankable feasibilities on the company website.

    In an email from Ken Reser, a highly respected molybdenum commentator, we were told Larry Reaugh has discussed the company’s Ruby Creek project with at least five major corporations, which Reser reported have approached Reaugh about bringing the project online. Several newsletters have praised this company’s efforts. Reser also consults for Adanac. He also told us the Ruby Creek project is a short while away from permitting.

    Blue Pearl Mining

    The Blue Pearl Mining (BLEFF) company bills itself as “The World’s Largest Publicly Traded Pure Molybdenum Producer” on its website. No surprise there. In December, the company was chosen by Standard & Poor’s/Toronto Stock Exchange Composit Index to join its list of market benchmark companies. The Index accounts for about 70 percent of the market capitalization for companies listed on the TSX.

    This past Wednesday, Blue Pearl increased its production estimates over the next three years. By 2009, the company hopes to produce 29 million pounds of molybdenum. Late last year, Blue Pearl bought Idaho’s Thompson Creek moly mine, a 75-percent interest in British Columbia’s Endako mine and the Langeloth Metallurgical Complex in Pennsylvania. This supplemented the company’s Davidson molybdenum deposit, which it also hopes to develop before the decade ends.

    Idaho’s Thompson Creek mine is expected to produce more 148 million pounds of molybdenum over its ten-year mine life at an average operating cost of US$3.68/pound. Of particular interest to us is the company’s roasting capacity of 35 million pounds at the metallurgical complex in Pennsylvania, which converts the concentrates to molybdenum oxide. It houses six multiple-hearth roasters required for the conversion process. As the company approaches the 29 million-pound production level, other near-term molybdenum producers may need to look elsewhere to convert their concentrates.

    In a recent interview, the company’s executive chairman Ian McDonald said, “We think the price of moly looks good here for the next year or two at least - probably longer - because there's been an under-investment in the moly business for the last 20 years.” We couldn’t agree more with Mr. McDonald, who is nobody’s fool.

    Stress at Work and Satisfaction
    There appears little doubt that one of the major adverse influences on job satisfaction, work performance, absenteeism, turnover and productivity, is the incidence of stress at work. Stress is a source of tension and frustration that may arise through a number of interrelated influences on behavior, including the individual, group, organizational and environmental factors. In a recent survey into attitudes to work, when a random sample of 1,000 workers was asked to specify the biggest problem at work, the second most common response (after poor pay - 18%) was stress at 17%. This would seem to support the contention that stress is a problem of the nineties.The causes of stress are complex. Stress is also a very personal experience, as is the response of each individual to it and their beliefs about how best to cope with the causes and the effects of stressful situations. Although considered as having a negative impact, a certain amount of stress may be seen as positive and even as a good thing, which helps and promotes a high level of performance. Keeping the balance is the challenging task of management.The five situations that are most commonly considered as stressful are the following:- Responsibility for the work of others - confl

    Stand Out At Work
    Career development is not always about moving up in the organization. It’s more about constantly improving yourself and getting the most out of your job and work life. Regardless of whether or not you are interested in promotion right now, you are interested in standing out at work. To stand out in a good way, you need to be aware of the consequences of what you think, say, and do.WHAT TO THINK, OR NOTThink you can (and will) succeed:People have confidence in us when we have confidence in ourselves, and few things lead to success like self-confidence. We gain confidence as our skill and knowledge grows. The trick is to have confidence to try new things, when immediate success isn’t as likely as when we do things we’ve already mastered. To do this, go slow. Create self-development plans that ease you into a new task. It is easier to overcome small mistakes, and small wins keep you motivated and moving forward.Think good thoughts about performance feedback:Performance feedback — particularly in review meetings — are our chance to talk to our manager about where we are, where we want to be, and how we might get there, in our job and in our career.

    Innovative Internet Marketing On a Budget
    When it comes to Internet marketing, you will find that any marketing is better than no marketing at all. Despite this, you may want to focus most of your time on innovative Internet marketing ideas. Innovative Internet marketing ideas are ideas that are fairly new.One of the few downsides to using innovative Internet marketing ideas is that since most have yet to be proven, because they are relatively new, you may not know if they are really worth or your time or your money. That is why there are a number of important factors that you should take into consideration, especially if you are planning on marketing your business while on a budget.If you are interested in marketing your business, but while on a budget, you can still do so. The only difference is that you will have a little bit more research to do than most others, namely business owners who have an unlimited marketing or advertising budget. As previously mentioned, innovative Internet email marketing ideas are ideas that are relatively new. That means that they have likely not been proved effective yet. Despite wanting to wait until they are effective, you shouldn’t. The good thing about using innovative Internet marketing strategies is that because they are new, the chances of y

    Idaho General Mines

Idaho General holds the Mount Hope Project in central Nevada which contains one of the largest molybdenum-porphyry deposits in the world, a nearly one-billion ton ore body that will produce approximately 1.3 billion pounds of recoverable molybdenum during its 53-year lifetime. A feasibility study has been completed and the project is now currently being permitted for operations in Nevada.”

    This is probably the largest molybdenum property on our radar. We have wondered over the course of various email exchanges with the army of Idaho General Mines proponents (and possibly promoters) whether this property is too big. So far, it has held up to scrutiny. In an email exchange with David Michaud, a metallurgical engineer with whom we routinely consult (and who is also a technical advisor for United Bolero, a smaller molybdenum exploration company), we played devil’s advocate.

    Michaud, who is intimately familiar with United Bolero’s property, explained the metallurgy for their Bald Butte moly property in Montana, “At a flotation feed sizing of about 135µm K80, the liberation of the molybdenite, when assessed in two dimensions, was 56 percent. When compared to similar ores now being processed worldwide, this level of liberation is sufficient to allow successful flotation recovery of most of the molybdenite bearing particles into a rougher concentrate. There is some evidence from mineral fragmentation studies, which suggests that still coarser flotation feed sizings could be used to achieve much the same molybdenite liberation levels; and hence, very similar metallurgical performances.”

    He added, “Liberated grains of molybdenite were 91 percent captured into the final concentrate. Approximately 11 percent of the molybdenite bearing binary composites were captured – predictably these composites contained significant amounts of molybdenite, probably accounting for their enhanced floatability.”

    When we questioned him about Idaho General’s property, Michaud gave the tentative thumbs up, stating, “I don’t think GMO (company’s ticker symbol on the American Stock Exchange) will be much different.” He explained the closeology between Montana, where Bald Butte is located, and Idaho would likely carry over, metallurgically speaking. The one question Michaud had concerned the ‘grind size,” which was not found on the company’s website and in our preliminary research. Further investigation would require studying the drill cores. He said, “No drill samples, no DNA.” Which is fair. In a recent email from someone knowledgeable about the property and its chemistry, he brought up was a conversion plant. He wrote to us, “Other operations have insurmountable logistics and environmental hoops to overcome, Mt. Hope is located 65 miles to a rail head and proposes to have its own conversion plant, hence – its concentrate is not held hostage by outsourced conversion.”

    This is the sticky point for us with respect to Idaho General. By the time the ambitious Mt. Hope project comes online, the Climax molybdenum mine may also be coming back online. If Idaho General proposes to annually mine along the lines of 35 million pounds, and Climax mines 20 to 30 million pounds annually, where will Idaho General roast the moly concentrates and convert these to molybdenum oxide. Permitting a roaster in the United States, we have been told, could be a fool’s errand. As one wag put it, “Hell will freeze over first.” Mt. Hope is big, and the company has begun the permitting process. It would be interesting to fast forward to 2009 or 2010 and find out how the project has been advanced.

    Roca Mines Inc.

    Quietly, Roca Mines (ROCAF) is moving forward toward becoming a small-scale molybdenum producer. A hiccup in their plans to mill the moly ore at British Columbia’s MAX deposit and begin selling it, as had previously been announced, was delayed by a few months. The company cited weather-related problems during the construction of their tailings facility. On a positive note, the company plans expanding mill capacity to 1,000 tpd.

    In crunching the numbers to determine the value of the rock for the MAX deposit, Michaud concluded, “It’s rich.” Depending upon how the numbers were calculated, this deposit could be worth between US$561/tonne to US$660/tonne. Cost of operations could be as low as $71/tonne to a higher level. Estimated recovery could run between 85 and 90 percent depending on how this start-up mine plays out. On a milling level of 1000 tpd, this equates to about 35,000 pounds per day of moly sulfid
