Anglo Swiss Drilling Phase One - Finally

Anglo Swiss Resources Inc.
(TSX-V: ASW) (OTCBB: ASWRF) (BERLIN: AMO)
Basic Shares 138.2 million
Fully Diluted 168 million



------------------------------------

Well, it's finally here much to the relief of everyone. The first of 5 drill permits arrived at Anglo's office in the last 48 hours meaning that drilling can start immediately on the company's Gold Hill portion of its Nelson Mining Camp.


Government bureaucracy has caused shareholders much grief over the last couple of months as the B.C. Government was extremely slow and quite behind in issuing the permits. As hard as this delay was on shareholders, management of Anglo have been extremely frustrated as the delay has cost the company substantial time and money.

Approximately 5,000 metres of drilling will take place in phase 1. The first permit allows for 1,050 metres of drilling on the Gold Hill property. Gold Hill was recently identified from an airborne survey and has a strike length of over 4 kilometres.

While Anglo is waiting for the remaining 4 permits, each covering new areas where anomalies have been identified, it will continue surface work and mapping to further refine the other drill targets planned to start this summer.
It's our understanding that the next permit is expected in the latter part of July to be followed by the others in early to mid-August.

Carfinco Bank-rolled For Growth













Carfinco Income Fund (TSX: CFN.UN)
Units issued: 23.9 million
Units fully diluted: 24 million
Current monthly distribution: $0.02
Q1/2010 special distribution: $0.04
Q2/2010 special distribution: $0.10
------------------------------------------------
Carfinco has clear momentum and in order to achieve the fund's planned 20% annual growth over the next two years, it needed to increase its credit facility. The banking syndicate that includes Bank of Montreal, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America have increased the credit facility to $105 million from $85 million.

Fred Westra, analyst at Industrial Alliance summed up what this means for the fund and its investors. Highlights of his updated report released today are below.

Current price: $4.40 Target price: $6.00 Rating: TOP PICK
Analyst: Fred Westra Frederik.westra@iagto.ca (514) 499-7371

$20m of Additional Growth Capital Through Credit Facility Increase

EVENT
CFN announced yesterday after the market closed that they had successfully renegotiated an increase in their credit facility with their lending syndicate. The announcement removes uncertainty as to CFN’s access to low-cost growth capital over the coming few years.

HIGHLIGHTS
- Credit Facility Increase to $105m from $85m
- Rate Remains at prime + 1.75%
- Term Extended from 2 to 3 Years
- Leverage Ratio Reduced to 3.5:1 from 3.75:1

The increase was prorated across syndicate members and is large enough to support CFN’s 20% annual receivables growth targets for the next two years at least. While the facility term is for 3 years, we are confident that CFN could return to the syndicate before then should they require a further increase. The term extension was available without a step-up in the cost of funds so Management opted for the longer term. While a larger increase might have been possible, the standby carry costs become greater for no reason.

The reduced leverage ratio of 3.5:1 is in line with most other lenders with receivables books over $100m. Moreover, CFN has typically always operated with a ratio below this and Management models to target below this level so we do not see this as an impediment to CFN’s growth, but rather just stricter controls and therefore reduced risk to shareholders.

IMPACT - POSITIVE
With the facility now renegotiated, CFN has no secured access to low-cost capital for the foreseeable future and thus any related investor uncertainty should now be removed from stock performance.

RECOMMENDATION
Loan loss performance and operating efficiencies have positive momentum with nothing significantly negative coming down the pipeline on the loss side. We continue to maintain 2010 receivables growth below Management’s 20% target to be conservative. With very strong reserves, capital capacity to grow and excellent opportunities, we think CFN is significantly undervalued. Our $6.00 target is based on 14x 2010E tax-adjusted EPU of $0.42, representing 45.0% potential total return. Our TOP PICK recommendation is maintained.

Pure Nickel - The Drills Are Turning At MAN Alaska

Pure Nickel
(TSX: NIC)(OTCBB: PNCKF)
Basic Shares: 67.8 million
Fully Diluted: 75.5


---------------------------------------
After an enormous amount of preparation and analysis, it's now up to science, Mother nature and a sprinkling of luck that will determine how this season will be assessed with the drills now turning at Pure Nickel's most ambitious project, MAN, Alaska. Today's announcement that up to 8 thousand metres will be drilled over the next several months sets the stage for what hopefully will be attention grabbing assay results later this fall. Two rigs will be working on the big targets; the Alpha and Beta complexes.

Pure Nickel's project partner ITOCHU upped this year's spending at MAN to US$7.5 million from US$4 million based on an encouraging 2009 drill season.
Drilling should wind up in mid to late September.

MAN has grabbed the majority of attention but Pure Nickel has many other properties in its arsenal. The gold bug that is gripping global markets is not lost on Pure Nickel as it will be directing some spending to its Rainbow claims in Nunavut. New claims have been added bringing the company's holdings there to 200 square kilometres.

Past drilling had proven up over 13 grams of gold per tonne from a hole that was originally being drilled for nickel mineralization. Grab samples taken from Rainbow have assayed 26.5 grams per tonne of gold and the company now believes this recently expanded property is worth a much closer look.

Plans for further exploration will be announced in the near future.
