HEMP, CBIS, GGSM & Extended Watchlists

We are back to focusing on marijuana-related stocks this morning, as Washington state’s legalization measures took effect at midnight last night. Tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of happy smokers gathered at locations throughout the state, in a New Year’s Eve-style countdown-to-cannabis! We observed positive moves from several “pot stocks” yesterday, and we expect to see the trends continue as the nation gets used to the idea that the beginning of the end for marijuana prohibition is underway out West.

___

Hemp, Inc. HEMP

When we initially began covering HEMP, the stock was as low as .027. It made a solid run all the way up to .09 before consolidating to bounce off of .037, at which point we saw another jump to .065. Consolidation occurred yet again, until late last week the stock found support at .035. It has been bumping into the 50DMA, and yesterday it finally got above it, with the next patch of resistance to come at the 20DMA of a nickel.

We’ve seen what HEMP can do when momentum flows into the stock, and we wouldn’t be at all surprised to catch another breakout in coming weeks, on into next year, especially with all the hype and positive attention that the medical marijuana industry has been getting.

___

Cannabis Science, Inc. CBIS

We notice a lot of similarities in the HEMP and CBIS charts. Both stocks had serious runs, only to consolidate and find a higher support level, and are now gearing up for further gains, breaching the 50DMA’s.

The next patch of resistance for CBIS figures to come at the 20DMA (.068) and 200DMA (.072). As you can see below, chart indicators appear to be turning toward the bullish side, so we definitely want to keep CBIS on our scanners.

Gold and GemStone Mining Inc. GGSM

We wanted to relay this morning’s PR from GGSM as well:

Gold and GemStone Mining Inc. and Blue Orange Mining Ltd Sign a Joint Venture Agreement
DRAPER, UT, Dec 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Gold and GemStone Mining Inc. (OTCQB: GGSM), an alluvial gold and diamond exploration and development stage mining company, announced today a joint venture agreement with Blue Orange Mining Limited.

Charmaine King, CEO of Gold and Gemstone Mining Inc., has announced the signing of a joint venture with Blue Orange Mining Ltd, based in Ghana offering 15 gold concessions, in a 50/50 JV.

Each concession measures between eighteen (18) to twenty-five (25) acres thus producing a total area of about forty-eight (48) acres in Dunkwa-Offin, fifty(50) acres in Pokukrom, and a total of two hundred and seventy-one (271) acres in Bibiani.

Six concessions were chosen for extensive testing, to evaluate the reserves. Results from this program would dictate the safe projection of resource to cover the thirteen mineable concessions for this project.

The concessions were evaluated by conventional polygonal methods to define the potential resources of minerals. Prospected data for the concessions was proven by a close drilling program undertaken by Dunkwa Goldfields Limited, a dredging company that held rights to extensive alluvial terrains along the Offin, Oda and Ancobra Rivers. When the company was declared bankrupt, its concessions were assigned by government for small scale operations. Records from this evaluation reveal an average reserve of approximately 11,083,696 tonnes at a grade of 0.75g/t for the six concessions. This projected over all thirteen concessions confirming a total resource of approximately 258,556 ounces and concluding a net average cost of production $721.45 per ounce for the life span of the project.

Mrs. King goes on to comment on the findings of the geological report, “GGSM is extremely pleased to announce to our shareholders and the public the geological report on our newest JV project with Blue Orange Mining shows over 250,000 ounces of easily extractable gold from the 13 mineable concessions. Even if gold was to drop to $1,500.00 per ounce, this concession would be worth over $380,000,000.00 to GGSM and our JV partners Blue Orange. With an average production cost for GGSM of $721.45 per ounce we are looking at over $200,000,000.00 in gross operating revenue for GGSM and Blue Orange Mining. Furthermore, GGSM is starting negotiations with Blue Orange to locate and finance the heavy equipment needed to begin moving forward.”

Gold and GemStone Mining Inc. GGSM

We wanted to send out an update to outline the news released today by GGSM. We are currently monitoring closely for more bounce opportunities like the one that presented itself this morning as the stock dipped to .11 before trading as high as .135, for a possible 23% intraday jump.

The stock had already doubled the volume of yesterday’s session by lunch today. We’d like to see the support continue to hold off of the 20DMA, currently sitting around .105.

Today’s News:

DRAPER, UT, Dec 05, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Gold and GemStone Mining Inc. (OTCQB: GGSM), a gold and diamond exploration and development stage mining company focused on Sierra Leone, West Africa, has commented today on the growing economic opportunity within the mining industry of the Country in which it plans for full scale alluvial mining operations to begin in Q2 2013.

Sierra Leone has emerged as one of the most stable countries on the African continent. Its democracy is thriving, the economy is growing and the climate for investment is being transformed. With its verdant land, stunning beaches, fertile seas, vast mineral resources and innovative people — Sierra Leone is truly a land of opportunity.

In a recent report issued by the Standard Chartered Bank forecasts show Sierra Leone is set for rapid growth; with forecasts at 30% growth in real GDP in 2012 Government forecasts from the Ministry of Finance and the IMF go beyond this and estimate a potential one time surge in real GDP growth of 51% y/y in 2012 owing to new iron-ore production from the Tonkolili mine which would still put Sierra Leone among the fastest-growing African countries.

GGSM | Gold and GemStone Mining, Inc. | Special Report

Gold and GemStone Mining Inc. GGSM

Allow us to introduce GGSM this morning. We are pretty pumped about the upside potential of this stock. The main focus of the company currently lays in the alluvial diamond and gold-producing area of Sierra Leone known as the Kono District.

One of things that makes it so exciting is the history of the region, being known as the site of many large finds in the past, including most recently in 2002, a diamondweighing 1440ct was found and sold for 75 million dollars in Belgium.

GGSM has worked very hard to receive the clearance (or concession) from local authorities to go ahead with mining operations, so that gold and diamonds can begin to be extracted from their three current claims which are sprawled over three separate chiefdoms.

The company’s near term focus is on the full funding, development and production of its first mining concessions, from which several instances of sampling have produced promising results.

The results show an average  56 carats per hundred-ton of high quality diamonds, slightly above the average grade of stones coming out of the region.

Equally impressive data is found, in relation to the incidence of gold with sampling taken from a total of 270 tonnes of gravel showing 62 grams /hundred ton at a purity rate of 96.4%.

Through the addition of a managing partner with experience in African diplomacy, we feel that the company will eventually be able to expand operations into surrounding chiefdoms. This addition is outlined in the PR from yesterday, that we’ve included here:

DRAPER, UT, Dec 04, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Gold and GemStone Mining Inc. (OTCQB: GGSM), an alluvial gold and diamond exploration and development stage mining company has announced Martin Hall as Chairman of the Board of directors.

 Mr. Hall is working closely with numerous African governments in an effort to transform the mining industry on the Continent and to provide them with related technologies that will revolutionize the manner in which mining had been conducted in the past.

___In addition to a promising back-story, the GGSM Chart has been building steadily over the past few weeks, running 100% from a low of .07 on Oct.17th, to .14, reached on Monday.

As you can see below, the stock broke above all of its moving averages midway through November. It has been on a steady uptrend since then, with only a few instances in which it dipped, to find support at the 100DMA.

We have a diverging MACD following the recent bullish cross, and the histogram is ramping up to that effect. The Slow STO is in the power zone and appears ready for another bullish cross. While not pictured below, the RSI is in the power zone as well. GGSM traded 3.5X its 3mo. average volume yesterday. As we all know, volume increases often precede PPS increases, so we are looking for GGSM to attain even further gains, and continue the current uptrend. The 52-week high is .20- a jump back to those levels from the current price, we could be looking at an additional 43% gain.
