Powertech executive accuses opponents of spreading inaccurate information
Canadian complains that Coloradans are "not playing fairly"
Posted February 9, 2008, Updated May 16, 2008
This letter from Greg Burnett, Powertech's Vice President of Administration, was recently found on wallstreet-online.de, a German website for investors:
Dear...
my apologies for the delays in returning your message, but I have been
extremely busy with many deadlines.
We at the company share your concern about the negative development of the
stock price over the past few months. We have been hit by a number of
factors all at the same time which has put downward pressure on the stock
price. Firstly, the overall concern about the global economy and a US
recession and its effects worldwide. Secondly, the sub prime mortgage crisis
in the United States has put a squeeze on liquidity and credit which has
strongly influenced the stock market. Thirdly, the price of uranium has
decreased and the uranium sector stocks in general have corrected quite
strongly. Finally, specific to our company, our
opposition in Colorado to the Centennial project have been very vocal and
have not been playing fairly in that that have distributed much misleading
and flat out inaccurate information about the project internationally. This
has created much uncertainty amongst our shareholders and potential
investors about the future of the Centennial project and has caused
significant additional selling pressure on our stock.
(emphasis added by webmaster)
While I certainly can in no way predict the future with respect to the
development of the stock price, it is our belief that the market has deeply
discounted the value of Centennial and we can not see much more downside.
Our stock price based upon our fundamentals compared to our peers is very
cheap, and sooner or later, we are confident that this will correct. Despite
all of the negative publicity the company is absolutely on schedule with
respect to filing all of its permit applications for both Dewey Burdock and
Centennial by the end of 2008. These projects are proving to be two of the
best ISR uranium projects in the United States that are under development
and we are very confident that we will get both projects to production. As
we proceed with our business plan and achieve milestones towards production,
we have little doubt that the value will be recognized in the stock price.
I am obligated by our Disclosure Policy to advise you that I am making
forward looking statements in this message and I urge you to review all of
the risk factors inherent in our business plan that are disclosed in our
Annual and Quarterly Reports as filed on HYPERLINK http://www.sedar.com.
I sincerely thank you for your support and believe that your loyalty will be
rewarded. Powertech is among only a few strong junior uranium companies that
we believe will get to production and become a long term player in the
sector. In closing, I am attaching a recent update report from one of the
independent analysts that are covering our stock.
Hopefully, this report will also help ease your concerns.
Regards,
Greg Burnett
