I'll be sending out a report on Monday profiling 5 Moly Jr's who will be the benefactors of China's decision on Friday to restrict production of Moly. This news will provide the same spark for the Moly Jr's as it did for the REE Jr's when the Chinese announced they were restricting REE production. The report will profile one producer, one pure exploration play and three companies with substantial moly deposits already delineated. Make sure you're on the distribution list.

Covenant sets 2010-2011 exploration budget at $3-million

NI 51-101 TECHNICAL REVIEW OF OIL AND GAS LEASES IN MONTANA
Covenant Resources Ltd. has publicly released a technical review for its recently acquired oil and gas leases in the Sweetgrass Arch area of Montana, consisting of 41,500 net acres in Toole and Pondera counties.
The report, prepared by MHA Petroleum Consultants LLC, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, meets National Instrument 51-101 disclosure standards and is available on SEDAR.
The Sweetgrass Arch of northwest Montana is part of an active oil and gas district (Alberta basin). The area surrounding the company's leases has produced economic oil and gas pools, as well as a series of new discoveries, and is presently being actively explored by Texas-based Quicksilver Resources, Newfield Exploration Co. and Rosetta Resources, among others. Recent activity in the region reflects continued strong interest in those parts of Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan that cover the Bakken shale oil field. The Bakken formation hosts one of the largest contiguous deposits of oil and natural gas in the United States, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The company anticipates a 2010-2011 work program with an estimated budget of $2.5-million to $3-million to explore its leases. The proposed program would include a minimum eight-well drill program, to be based on newly acquired seismic data and directed at depths considered mostly favourable to host oil resources. The company will continue to seek and evaluate additional North American oil and gas properties with production potential in order to achieve its goal of becoming a mid-tier oil and gas company.
We seek Safe Harbor.

The "Father" of the Bakken joins Covenant
Covenant Resources names Findley executive director
2010-10-19 10:09 ET - News Release
Mr. Frank Port reports
BAKKEN DISCOVERY PIONEER JOINS COVENANT AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Covenant Resources Ltd. has appointed Richard (Dick) Findley, a geologist with more than 35 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, as executive director. Mr. Findley is credited with the discovery of Elm Coulee field in Richland county, Montana, which led to intense exploration interest in the Bakken formation (part of the Williston Basin), now considered one of the largest contiguous deposits of oil and natural gas in the U.S.
Mr. Findley is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and in 2006 received the Outstanding Explorer Award for his efforts in discovering Elm Coulee field. The same year he was also awarded the Michel Halbouty Medal by Texas A&M University, where he earned his BSc (1973) and MSc (1975) degrees.
Mr. Findley is president of Prospector Oil Inc. and American Eagle Energy Inc. and has held board and advisory positions with various other companies. In 1983, he formed Prospector Oil to build an independent company focused on the Williston Basin and Northern Rockies. He also served as chairman of Ryland Oil Company, a pioneer in Bakken formation exploitation in Saskatchewan and North Dakota, prior to its recent acquisition by oil and gas producer Crescent Point Energy Inc.
"As we commence an exploration program on our Alberta basin, Sweetgrass Arch prospect, having Dick join our team at this time is very significant," said Frank Port, president. "Dick's level of expertise and track record of success will benefit all shareholders as we continue to expand our footprint into the Williston Basin."
