How many junior mining companies are seeing an increase in cash these days? What if it's a NON-DILUTIVE cash infusion? Even better!

Geovic Mining Corp (GMC-TSX) actually increased its cash position by US$7 million to US$73.3 million in Q3 2008, ending September 30.Geovic's quarterly news release read "The increase was principally due to a $15.2 million minority interest contribution from the Cameroonian shareholders, who have contributed approximately $20 million to Geovic Cameroon Plc ("GeoCam") through September 30th."

So that is great news for their shareholders.

Just as wildly implausible – their stock responded! It went up! To reflect the new cash value. You might not think that is a big deal, but it is. There are many companies trading well below their cash value. In this market, every asset is a liability. It's just something that drains cash. Assets that don't produce cash flow have NO value. There is no value for metal in the ground.

VANCOUVER, July 7 /CNW/ - Uracan Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce a National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource
calculation has been completed on the Double S zone, part of Uracan's 100% owned 1,000 Km(2) North Shore Uranium Property in Quebec.

This resource estimation, presented in Table 1 (see below) outlines the initial inferred resource contained in the Double S zone as defined by diamond drilling up to December 2007. 51 diamond drill holes totaling 13,555.7 meters were used to create the model used in the resource calculation.

Based on a cut off of 0.009% U3O8, 74,215,000 tonnes averaging 0.012% U3O8 containing approximately 9 million kilograms (19.97 million pounds) of U3O8 has been outlined. This resource falls into the inferred mineral resource
category under NI 43-101 reporting requirements.

Details of the new resource estimate are as follows:

(TSX:COL) - Shares Outstanding: 92,956,427

Material from Open Pit Added to Leach Pad - Freshly-crushed material on the leach pad currently amounts to approximately 70,000 tonnes, 25,000 tonnes from the Open Pit, 8,000 from the El Pozo prospect, and 37,000 tonnes from the heap proper. Ore continues to be added to the heap from El Pozo. No further tonnage is planned to be trucked from the Open Pit at this time.

Crusher Operations - A large rock fell from the crusher feed hopper on May 23, and landed on one of the travel wheels, breaking the leaf springs on both sides and necessitating the detachment of the entire wheel assembly. Down time was minimal, the spring package will be replaced shortly.

Accessing More Mineable Material - About 15,000 mineable tonnes is estimated to remain at El Pozo to be transported to the crusher. There are about 2,000 tonnes uncrushed on the ground at the crusher. A second lot of samples was delivered to Jacobs' Assay Lab in Tucson on Monday morning, June 2.

May 20, 2008 – Geovic Mining Corp. ("Geovic" or "The Company", TSX:GMC), on behalf of its 60%-owned subsidiary Geovic Cameroon PLC (GeoCam), is pleased to announce three key appointments as it rapidly moves toward construction of its Nkamouna Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese project in Cameroon, Africa.

Johann du Preez has been appointed Construction Manager, and is charged with overseeing all major construction at Nkamouna, currently scheduled to commence in late 2008. Mr. du Preez has more than 30 years experience as a construction manager, principally with African mineral processing plants and infrastructure improvements. He has overseen 18 separate projects totaling U.S. $5.4 billion, last working as resident construction manager at the Kolwezi copper/cobalt project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As Kolwezi is expected to be one of the world's largest copper/cobalt processing plants, Mr. du Preez is uniquely qualified to enhance the engineering and design of Nkamouna, and subsequently lead its construction effort.

Anthony Mills has been appointed Engineering Project Manager to serve as GeoCam's primary liaison and representative to the engineering and design Alliance, consisting of Bateman International Projects BV, Roberts & Schaefer Australia Pty. Ltd., and Group Five Projects Pty. Ltd.. The Alliance is principally based in Brisbane, Australia where Mr. Mills recently located, and is continuing under a Professional Service Agreement that has been extended until negotiations are complete on a comprehensive engineering, procurement and construction management agreement between the Parties. Mr. Mills has more than 40 years of experience in project management, engineering, and construction, including more than 30 years with mining and mineral processing projects. Mr. Mills previously served as Project Manager with engineering and construction companies specializing in the mineral industry, including Fluor, Mineral Resource Development Inc., and Kvaerner.

Andrew Ramcharan has been appointed Manager, Technical Services, based in the Company's home office in Grand Junction, Colorado. His primary responsibility will be optimization of the Cameroon mining plans, and secondarily to assist Geovic in the evaluation of new projects. Mr. Ramcharan has more than 10 years experience as a Mining Engineer/Analyst, specializing in three-dimensional geologic modeling, resource/reserve estimation, and all aspects of project planning/execution. A graduate of and PhD candidate from the Colorado School of Mines, he has already worked on more than 50 projects in five continents.

(Vancouver, BC. May 14, 2008) Ucore Uranium Inc. (TSX-V: UCU) is pleased to provide an update on its 2008 exploration activities at the Bokan Mountain uranium exploration project in southeast Alaska.

Following the receipt of drill permits from the US Forest Service, exploration crews have been mobilized to Bokan Mountain. A floating barge camp for crew accommodations is being set up, with a capacity of 30 personnel. Fuel storage facilities are being installed, and drill pads are being constructed at the I&L zone. Two drills will be moved from Ketchikan to Bokan Mountain later this week by barge.

The exploration work continues to be completed through Ucore’s wholly owned US subsidiary, Landmark Alaska Limited Partnership. The 2008 exploration program is being managed by Aurora Geosciences (Alaska) Ltd. of Juneau, Alaska, under the supervision of Ucore’s senior geological staff. The goals of the work are to (1) verify uranium and REE reported from 2007 and earlier drilling, (2) test Ucore’s geological model for the style of mineralization, (3) explore previously untested portions of the I&L zone, and (4) determine if the I&L zone mineralization persists to depth and/or along strike, especially to the southeast where radiometric data suggest high radioactivity levels for a strike length of 3 km.
