Oly, remember Abra mining, Golden West and Herald Resources and your HNC theory of a compass takeover? These are called PEBBLE STOCKS it seems and CMR is another one of these pebbles waiting to be swallowed.


Well, it looks like others share this point of view and it may well be happening now given the share price is obviously been forced down in the midst of a copper and broad based share rally. It is even more obvious when the amount of shares on issue is as small as CMR has.

Others can thank me later. I am on fire today adding value to this thread!! See below.

URGENT news for investors looking to capitalise on market crisis...

'Pebble Stocks' that Could Each
Return 30% to 118% Gains
in the Next 2 Months

Amidst global market chaos, a new class of junior miner could to hand investors explosive double-digit profits, literally overnight...

Discover how 'Pebble Stock' gains like 63% in one week, 118% in 3 days and 29% in 24 hours could be pouring into your portfolio... even while many investors flee to cash!


Dear Reader,

You're witnessing market history in the making right now.

And boy, it's ugly watching!

Pretty much every sector, including the traditional safe havens of gold and commodities, is being sold off as hedge funds and banks scramble to raise cash.

Many people think this isn't a good time to invest in any stock.

For the most part, they're right.

It could take a lot longer before this mess is cleaned up and it's business-as-usual for stock investors.

But here's the thing...

There is ONE SPECIAL TYPE OF AUSTRALIAN STOCK we believe will soar in the weeks ahead - even as the smart money moves to cash and bonds.

Over the next 7 minutes, I'm going to introduce you to a special breed of Australian mining junior that's perfectly poised to thrive in the next two months.

And the massive, super-quick share price-hikes you can expect are not just happening despite the meltdown in the financial markets... they're happening because of it.

I call them 'Pebble Stocks', for reasons that will be clear shortly.

In the warzone that has been the financial markets of late, they have gifted investors gains of 30% to 118% in weeks... sometimes hours.

As things deteriorate over the next two months, even more 'Pebble Stock' gains will be made by savvy resource investors.

You can learn more about one 'Pebble Stock' pick we believe has to potential to explode 30% minimum in the weeks to come - plus two more that are on our radar in just a second.

First, I'll quickly give you the background...

China-Driven 'Pebble-Stock Payouts'

Have you heard about Abra Mining? Or Golden West Resources? How about Herald Resources?

Most people haven't.

These are all tiny Aussie miners. And they're examples of the new breed we call 'Pebble Stocks'.

Why?

All three have been targeted by Chinese companies in the last year.

And here's the 'money-point'...

On average, each of the three 'Pebbles' above gained 63% in the week following their offers.

Abra was the most exciting. It exploded for 118% in three days. The others were no less impressive. Golden West slammed on 29% literally overnight.

Not bad returns in the midst of a downturn, right?

Well get ready, because the next two months could see an avalanche of pebble winners just like these.

Let me explain why...

The key factor setting these extraordinary pebble profits in motion is almost always a foreign takeover.

You probably already know Asian companies need Australia's raw materials. Rocks and energy, basically.

But the thing is these cashed-up giants can't just buy the big miners like BHP or Rio Tinto. The Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) wouldn't let them.

So instead of going after the 'boulders' of the resource industry, China is collecting lots and lots of 'pebbles'.

They're acquiring small, quality resource juniors that are trading at much lower prices than this time last year.

By collecting lots of pebbles China gets the same amount of rock in the end. It's easier work though. The pebbles take less lifting than boulders - there's less capital involved. No regulators complain either. So long as China doesn't try to snatch anything too substantial.

And there has NEVER been a better time for 'pebble-snatching' than right now...

Falling Aussie Dollar Gives Green
Light to 'Pebble-Snatchers'

To any foreign invader, the Australian dollar has been one of the biggest barriers.

It was the high price blocking buyers who wanted in on the Aussie resource boom.

Not anymore...

In just one month our currency has fallen from US98.5 cents to US80 cents.

That's a 17% plunge!

It stands out in history as one of the most violent ever.

In other words...

The greatest barrier to mining takeovers from non-Australian companies has fallen.

The real price of Australian companies has tumbled.

This may well unblock the dam of eager investors looking for a way into small, quality Australian resource assets.

And it's not just China looking for pebbles...

International diversified miners are also on the prowl.

Firms like Vale and Xstrata have accumulated massive reserves of uninvested cash. The last two years have been especially profitable in mining. The spare cash those firms have on hand has nearly doubled since 2006.

Just take a look at the chart below...

Big Mining Cash Reserves are Bullish for Pebble Stocks

That's a lot of cash to spend.

The life-blood of a resource firm is its reserves of raw material in the ground.

To stay profitable, those bigger diggers have to keep growing reserves. Grabbing pebbles is an easy way to add cheap reserves to their portfolios.

And if YOU can own these 'Pebbles' before they do, it's a great way to boost YOUR OWN portfolio!

Sinosteel's bid for iron miner Midwest this year sent shares 31% higher.

And a stake from Russian steel-maker Evraz sent Cape Lambert Iron 29% higher in a few days.

You're witnessing the beginning of a long-term foreign invasion of capital into the Australian market.

And the current market turmoil means that pebble-hunters have more incentive than usual to go hunting right here in Australia.

I'll show you why... and introduce you to one stock I believe is the hottest target... in just a second.

If you prefer to keep a cool head while the wider market scares itself witless...

And if you're aware market upheaval often throws up the once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunities...

Then you'll want to add this stock to your portfolio immediately.

First, I Better Introduce Myself...

My name is Al Robinson.

I'm the Investment Director of the resource stock newsletter, Diggers and Drillers.

I'm a born-and-bred Aussie with a degree in commerce and specialisation in finance.

But my passion is 'rock kicking'. I spend every hour of every working day looking for the best resource shares in Australia.

The goal of Diggers & Drillers is simple: to give you the best available research in the world into smaller Aussie metals, mining, and energy shares.

If you already hold positions in energy and commodities, chances are you've seen them slide recently.

We still believe, due to basic supply and demand factors, that a recovery in these sectors is more than likely. I'm also convinced that many good resource companies - sitting on great projects - have had their stock prices unfairly dragged down by the financial crisis.

That means you can pick up some stellar bargains, if you're forward-thinking and picky.

Of course, finding the right stocks to back is hard.

That's why you have to do your homework. You have to read financial statements, call the company directors, and understand the mining business from top to bottom.

Frankly, though, most investors don't have time for this.

But I do. In fact, it's all I do. And it gives my readers a huge advantage when it comes to locating the next wave of winners in the Aussie resource market...

Uncovering Resource Plays the
'Mainstream' Overlooks

Sure, the big banks and brokers may have never heard of some of my share tips...

But if you're willing to do the hard work... and analyse stocks that are often too small to show up on the radar of big money managers... you can unveil some great gems... like the three 'Pebble Stock' beauties I'll tell you more about in a second.

The list of our current share tips includes oversold gold companies, fast-growing mining service companies, and a variety of other base metals and energy shares leveraged to higher resource prices.

I can't promise you we always get it right with our share tips and market calls.

But I can promise you this... you will not find a more thoroughly researched resource share-tipping publication in Australia.

Our work is not compromised by any conflicts of interest or other agendas. We publish our best investment ideas and we don't get paid a cent by any company to promote it.

And there's never been a better time for you to get hold of this kind of investment intelligence.

Why?

Australia - and the small resource stocks based here - play a key role in the third great Industrial Revolution in human history... the emergence of India and China's 2.3 billion people in the global market place.

The mining insiders know this. As Rio Tinto's Sam Walsh told an Australian newspaper: "The word 'boom' is a misnomer... I don't know what the right word is - maybe it's a paradigm shift. This growth is going to be around for awhile."

Boom or not - this is a trend worth being on the right side of.

Even more so now that, due to the 'credit crunch', genuine profit opportunities are so thin-on-the-ground elsewhere.

That's why I've dedicated myself to researching out the very best ways that Australian investors can profit from the gigantic resources boom right on your doorstep...

Stake Your Claim in the $70.5
BILLION "Big Australian Dig"

You'd be forgiven for thinking the crisis in central banking is the only investment story on the planet.

Sure, it's big news. The stock market as a whole hasn't been this shaky since the Great Depression.

But this is largely an American and Western problem.

Amid all the busts and bailouts, the China-driven commodities boom continues unabated.

And Australian resource companies are playing a central role...

Coal from the vast opencut mines of Tawonga and Kogan Creek, to fuel the power plants of China and Japan... huge amounts of high-priced gold churning out of the new Telfer mine in Western Australia...

A $4.3 billion expansion of the Dampier-Bambury gas pipeline... a new $7 billion uranium and copper mine at Olympic Dam near Roxby that will create a hole "big enough to swallow Adelaide's city centre", according to The Australian.

You get the picture.

As you can see to the right, spending on these projects is going through the roof.

But you know what?

Australia is STILL not producing enough resources to meet demand!

That's why over $6.1 billion was spent on further minerals and energy exploration in 2007-2008 - in real terms, the highest level of spending on record.

And that's nothing.

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) says that mining and energy companies plan to spend a further $32.3 billion this financial year... and $36.5 billion in 2008-2009!

In other words:

Despite the Turmoil, the Cash is Still
Flooding into Aussie Resources

A long overdue deflation of the credit bubble is taking place.

But, at the same time, you're also witnessing an absolutely unprecedented $70 billion TIDAL WAVE of cash flooding through the Australian minerals and energy sectors over the next 24 months.

This is a powerful, long-term trend. As far as making money on the global markets goes for the next twelve months, this is the best show in town.

And, as an Australian investor, YOU have front row seats!

Feast your eyes on the map below...



As you can see, the scale of what's about to happen is simply staggering...

According to official statistics, there are 97 projects underway right now.

To get you up to speed fast on the one 'Pebble Stock' project that could deliver an overnight 30%+ gain in the next few weeks... even as the wider market tanks... I've just put the finishing touches on a new research report prepared specifically for Australian investors.

It's called How 'Pebble Stocks' Can Give You Gains Amid Market Panic. It outlines one prime takeover targets with the potential to do what almost no other identifiable class of stocks on the ASX can do: jump 30% or 118% in a matter of hours over the next two turbulent months.

This stock is an URGENT buy right now.

You'll also hear about two more great 'Pebbles' which I'm tracking closely.

As you'll see in a moment, I'd like to rush you this report, FREE OF CHARGE.

But it's vital that you get your hands on it immediately...

Aussie 'Pebbles' Trading
at 17% Discount!

Big miners have lost billions in market cap since things got really nasty in May.

In percentage terms, the smaller miners have lost more.

There are now a lot of cheap metal reserves out there in the form of pebble companies.

The Australian dollar has lost 17% against the greenback since mid-July. So have Australian assets on a global scale.

Take a look below...

The High Currency Cost Facing Pebble-Hunters Has Tumbled



Listen...

If you've looked at your favourite Aussie mining share and thought 'that looks cheap' at any stage in the last few weeks, consider the big miners and foreign invaders.

To them the same stocks are 17% cheaper again!

We don't think this currency devaluation will become a lasting trend. Australia's currency is backed by natural resources. It has stronger long-term economic fundamentals than the US dollar. When commodity popularity returns, it's likely the Aussie's will turn around.

That might what causes invaders to act sooner rather than later.

Right now, pebble-grabbers have an opportunity to get into the market.

And I've uncovered one cheap, gleaming 'Pebble' that I believe is already catching the eye of invaders...

A Potential 30% from the One Pebble
That Trumps Them All

This pebble has everything.

If it doesn't get some serious bites taken out of it while the market is down, I'll be astounded.

It currently has a reserve of 1.7 million tonnes of base metals, 11% is zinc, 3% is copper, and 0.7% is lead. It also contains 115 grams of silver per tonne.

When you add up all that metal in dollars, it comes to a bit over AU$937 million at today's prices.

Yet this company is current trading at a market cap of AU$132 million. It's only AU$0.28 per share.

Of course, the whole AU$937 million won't make to the bottom line. Far less. But at very modest long-term zinc price of around US$1.00 per pound, this project alone is worth AU$230 million to this 'Pebble'... and to the pebble-hunter that snaps it up.

But there's more value in the stock.

This pebble also owns a growing base metal resource project in Victoria. It's completing a scoping study that should result in a new JORC-compliant resource in 2009.

Considering the deposit's history, it should add significantly to this pebble stock's value.

How much could you make from this?

It's difficult to value this kind takeover play without insider knowledge.

But if this pebble gets picked up by a hunter in the weeks ahead, based on similar premiums in the pebble sector, we would expect the stock to add a minimum of 30%.

Probably more. Based on previous takeover gains.

You can get all my research on this company in your free report, 'Pebble Stocks' That Could Give You Gains Amid Market Panic.

I'll show you why I believe each this stock has the potential to receive a firm offer within the next six months... and, most importantly, how much you stand to make.

But that's not all.

You'll also learn about to more Pebbles that are shaping up to be big winners in the weeks to come, including...

A potential overnight gain from these 'Aussies-in-Asia'. This is a tiny pebble, at just AU$77 million in market cap. But the company's major project is a decent-sized asset... a gold mine in Northeast China that has a resource of over one million ounces.

China is officially the largest gold miner in the world as of this year. This Aussie company is one of only a few foreign-listed gold miners operating there.

There's one big pebble-hunter already in this stock. Newmont Mining holds just under a 4% stake.

More hunters could be grabbing a piece soon.

A 'tin pebble' that trades under 30 cents. This company has spent the last few years consolidating historically productive Australian tin deposits.

The major industrial use of tin is in soldering. The tin price has boomed in recent years, as developing nations like China increase their consumption of electronic goods. That means little outfits like this one are now in hot demand.

A Chinese partner has already increased its holdings in this pebble by 18% in June. To a tin investor, this is one of the best stocks in the world. And you can still get in at under 30 cents.

These are two great stocks. But they've not quite ticked all the boxes to make our buy list yet. They could within days, and we're monitoring them closely.

You'll get our latest research on both in your free report, 'Pebble Stocks' That Could Give You Gains Amid Market Panic.

These kinds of pebble companies have already fallen a long way. Our view is that the fall has exhausted a lot of the downside risk inherent in small-caps.

But not all of it.

Understand that you shouldn't build a portfolio around pebbles. This is the kind of thing you allocate a small amount of money to. If the stock is a big, short-term gain, it'll add some serious spice to your investing year. If it continues to fall, it'll be a minor loss overall.

If you're up for the risk and ready to play the pebble game - even while most investors are freaking out - then here's all you need to do.
