SIEM REAP, Cambodia -- This is where folks come in droves to see temples -- Angkor Wat and the complex of shrines, chiefly. Lunar New Year means this place -- Cambodia's hottest draw -- rumbles.
Tourist coach buses. motorbikes, tens of thousands. Tractors, earth movers. I swear, for such a holy place, the decibel level challenges all but the most practiced meditating visitors.
I am here for a visit to see children at Thailand-Cambodia border town Poipet, where Thais and others come to bet in smoky casinos. Cambodia kids here are under pressure to produce revenue. Almost any way they can. From their families.
"That means being sold to fishing boats, it means forced labor, it means begging and it means sexual transactions," Andrea Aasen of XP Ministries tells us.
I am here (for a third time in 3 years): to learn a little more about how hospitals in the country can help children when there are not enough beds, physicians or supplies.
I also will teach a little English and accompany a medical team to Angkor Gold's nonprofit foundation, ANK Foundation, which just built a training center for the townspeople of Ban Lung, a booming Ratanakiri Province town and also base camp for the gold prospector, Angkor Gold, one of our TCR 8.
See photos attached: Angkor Children's Hospital visit with Dr. Francis Farraye of Boston Medical Center, who is on the ANK Foundation board, and Long Chinda, grants manager for the hospital; victimized children at Poipet -- aided by XP Ministries and XP Missions of Arizona; list of surgical procedures at children's hospital in Siem Reap.
Finally, I am here to see, for a third time, the gold sites that Angkor Gold (TSX:V.ANK, Stock Forum) is developing for itself, for shareholders and for mining partners. I'll have more on that next week.
There appear to be imminent events that will boost ANK shares in coming days or weeks: partnerships, drill assays, or maybe just the affirmation that Angkor Gold is one of the few legit Asia gold "country speculations" that can survive with no fresh capital from investors for another two years, maybe more.
Leave it said Angkor Gold's principals know every minerals minister and most of the politicians, trades groups, lawmakers and bankers that can make or break any commodities venture in this boomer economy.
The short of it is that I continue to purchase ANK shares. This is year 3 for me. As a shareholder and researcher of ANK. Mike and Delayne Weeks and their team here are full out prospecting and working out revenue-driving pacts with India and (possibly) China gold miners. There might be oil and gas in the mix soon, too. There should be with Mr. Weeks, a former oil contract negotiator whose Alberta fortune ties to his years as a North Africa energy man.
The thesis: If you want to become part of an investment that will benefit from the ASEAN pact (starting 2015) that loosens border controls among 10 nations in the SE Asia region, thus creating a manufacturing and service boom in the poorest of these nations, with Cambodia as the most likely biggest winner, you will take a look at Angkor Gold.
If you want to become part of an investment that already has partner money in the bank (from India's Mesco Steel) and that already has usurped Australia prospectors on a timeline to a producing Cambodia gold mine called Phum Syarung by early 2015, you will want to look at Angkor Gold.
Finally, if you want to become part of an investment that -- better than most any other prospector I know of -- supports its jurisdiction communities with the same fervor as it does its business, you will want to look at Angkor Gold.

Liberty Mining (TSX:V.NSC, Stock Forum) is still supporting heap-leach prospect True Gold Mining. Liberty is an investment unit of Liberty Mutual Insurance in Boston. See: http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/quote/v.tgm/true-gold-mining-inc.
Gold Standard Ventures (TSX:V.GSV, Stock Forum) just said it has consolidated the Railroad Gold project's potential with a purchase, from Scorpio Gold, of Pinion (GSV's spelling) in Nevada. See: http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=7776345640eda80ba1bf3f67c&id=c88edfc9b4&e=41f73896a5
The next three weeks are likely to see the gold price rise sharply from its current $1,255. The price here in Asia is rising $11 as we sit. The safe money is on any prospector that is on record for 2015 production and can lay claim to fewer than 100 million shares outstanding. And no imminent financings. In our world, that includes Angkor Gold and Solvista Gold (TSX:V.SVV, Stock Forum).
History: Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) was founded in 1999 through the efforts of renowned photographer Kenro Izu. His remarkable story began in 1994, when on a photographic expedition to Cambodia, he witnessed a child who was the same age as his daughter die at a local hospital due to lack of basic medical care. Having witnessed both the stunning beauty of the sacred Temples of Angkor and the harsh and brutal realities of daily Cambodian life, Kenro was moved to take action. He began by founding Friends Without a Border (FWAB), an American non-profit organization in 1996 along with a Japanese counterpart organization. Then, with the help of an international board of healthcare professionals, the art community, and more than 6,000 members worldwide, FWAB opened Angkor Hospital for Children in 1999. It was truly a multinational and multicultural effort that has resulted in what today is Cambodia’s most highly-respected pediatric teaching hospital.

Gold Standard Ventures (TSX:V.GSV, Stock Forum) just said it has consolidated the Railroad Gold project's potential with a purchase, from Scorpio Gold, of Pinion (GSV's spelling) in Nevada. See: http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=7776345640eda80ba1bf3f67c&id=c88edfc9b4&e=41f73896a5
The next three weeks are likely to see the gold price rise sharply from its current $1,255. The price here in Asia is rising $11 as we sit. The safe money is on any prospector that is on record for 2015 production and can lay claim to fewer than 100 million shares outstanding. And no imminent financings. In our world, that includes Angkor Gold and Solvista Gold (TSX:V.SVV, Stock Forum).
History: Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) was founded in 1999 through the efforts of renowned photographer Kenro Izu. His remarkable story began in 1994, when on a photographic expedition to Cambodia, he witnessed a child who was the same age as his daughter die at a local hospital due to lack of basic medical care. Having witnessed both the stunning beauty of the sacred Temples of Angkor and the harsh and brutal realities of daily Cambodian life, Kenro was moved to take action. He began by founding Friends Without a Border (FWAB), an American non-profit organization in 1996 along with a Japanese counterpart organization. Then, with the help of an international board of healthcare professionals, the art community, and more than 6,000 members worldwide, FWAB opened Angkor Hospital for Children in 1999. It was truly a multinational and multicultural effort that has resulted in what today is Cambodia’s most highly-respected pediatric teaching hospital.

Tourist coach buses. motorbikes, tens of thousands. Tractors, earth movers. I swear, for such a holy place, the decibel level challenges all but the most practiced meditating visitors.
I am here for a visit to see children at Thailand-Cambodia border town Poipet, where Thais and others come to bet in smoky casinos. Cambodia kids here are under pressure to produce revenue. Almost any way they can. From their families.
"That means being sold to fishing boats, it means forced labor, it means begging and it means sexual transactions," Andrea Aasen of XP Ministries tells us.
I am here (for a third time in 3 years): to learn a little more about how hospitals in the country can help children when there are not enough beds, physicians or supplies.
I also will teach a little English and accompany a medical team to Angkor Gold's nonprofit foundation, ANK Foundation, which just built a training center for the townspeople of Ban Lung, a booming Ratanakiri Province town and also base camp for the gold prospector, Angkor Gold, one of our TCR 8.
See photos attached: Angkor Children's Hospital visit with Dr. Francis Farraye of Boston Medical Center, who is on the ANK Foundation board, and Long Chinda, grants manager for the hospital; victimized children at Poipet -- aided by XP Ministries and XP Missions of Arizona; list of surgical procedures at children's hospital in Siem Reap.
Finally, I am here to see, for a third time, the gold sites that Angkor Gold (TSX:V.ANK, Stock Forum) is developing for itself, for shareholders and for mining partners. I'll have more on that next week.
There appear to be imminent events that will boost ANK shares in coming days or weeks: partnerships, drill assays, or maybe just the affirmation that Angkor Gold is one of the few legit Asia gold "country speculations" that can survive with no fresh capital from investors for another two years, maybe more.
Leave it said Angkor Gold's principals know every minerals minister and most of the politicians, trades groups, lawmakers and bankers that can make or break any commodities venture in this boomer economy.
The short of it is that I continue to purchase ANK shares. This is year 3 for me. As a shareholder and researcher of ANK. Mike and Delayne Weeks and their team here are full out prospecting and working out revenue-driving pacts with India and (possibly) China gold miners. There might be oil and gas in the mix soon, too. There should be with Mr. Weeks, a former oil contract negotiator whose Alberta fortune ties to his years as a North Africa energy man.
The thesis: If you want to become part of an investment that will benefit from the ASEAN pact (starting 2015) that loosens border controls among 10 nations in the SE Asia region, thus creating a manufacturing and service boom in the poorest of these nations, with Cambodia as the most likely biggest winner, you will take a look at Angkor Gold.
If you want to become part of an investment that already has partner money in the bank (from India's Mesco Steel) and that already has usurped Australia prospectors on a timeline to a producing Cambodia gold mine called Phum Syarung by early 2015, you will want to look at Angkor Gold.
Finally, if you want to become part of an investment that -- better than most any other prospector I know of -- supports its jurisdiction communities with the same fervor as it does its business, you will want to look at Angkor Gold.
More later. Below -- a history of the children's hospital here.
