Newmont Mining sells 5% stake in Paladin for $24 mln in cash

Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM) has sold its 5.4% stake in Paladin Energy (TSE:PDN) (ASX:PDN) through a book-build process, to a broad range of institutional investors. 

The sale was underwritten by an investment bank at a fixed price of 52.5 cents per share, which will generate more than $24 million in cash for Newmont, reflecting its strategy to divest non-core assets, some of which are included in the mining giant's marketable securities portfolio. 

"Newmont will continue to evaluate its holdings and may, from time to time, divest other equity positions and assets under favorable conditions and terms," said executive VP of strategic development at Newmont, Randy Engel, in a release Tuesday.

Newmont acquired the shareholding through its acquisition of Fronteer Gold in 2011, which had previously sold the Aurora uranium assets to Paladin. 

Last month, Paladin said it was suspending production at its Kayelekera uranium mine in Malawi, calling the operation a substantial drain on its cash resources over the last three years. The company told investors at the time that the suspension would involve placing the operation on care and maintenance status until the price of uranium recovers. The move is expected to preserve the remaining ore body until this time, when Paladin decides that production can resume on a profitable basis.

The price of uranium oxide has been depressed ever since March 2011, when the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami hit in Japan. 

Paladin said in a statement this morning that it understands the sale is consistent with Newmont's strategy of divesting non-core assets to align its investment interests with its global gold production business.

"We are pleased with the result of the successful sale by Newmont and the additional stability it brings to the Paladin shareholder register," said CEO of Paladin, John Borshoff. 

"We are happy to welcome a number of new, high quality Australian and international investors to Paladin as a result of the transaction." Reported by Proactive Investors 6 hours ago.

Estrella Morente's flamenco singing inspired by many styles

The daughter of famed flamenco singer Enrique Morente and the dancer Aurora Carbonell, she has been electrifying audiences since the age of 7 with a voice filled with fire in one moment and rich like raw honey in the next. Like her late father, who produced several of her recordings and was himself known for incorporating unconventional elements to his own singing, Morente's style is a blend of traditional and contemporary. Jazz, blues, Caribbean and Cuban son, rancheras, Colombian song, Portuguese fado, and classical music have been great sources of inspiration. The 15 songs bring Estrella's own lucid singing together with an unusual coterie of artists, including Pat Metheny, Michael Nyman and the late flamenco guitar master Paco de Lucia. 'Autorretrato' makes me fall in love with the ancient cantes, with the history of the purest flamenco all over again, in order to set it free, she says, and also to free myself of those reservations that certain people with fairly extreme standards use to corset the art form. [...] in this recording, as I see it, Enrique Morente offers me the chance to portray myself and to have a frank conversation with myself and everyone. Reported by SFGate 1 hour ago.

Bremont Homes (http://www.BremontHomes.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s finest home building company, is pleased to announce that detached model homes at Forest Edge, minutes from Lake Simcoe at Innisfil Beach, are now open.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) March 13, 2014

Bremont Homes (http://www.BremontHomes.com), the Greater Toronto Area’s finest home building company, is pleased to announce that detached model homes at Forest Edge, minutes from Lake Simcoe at Innisfil Beach, are now open.

“On the edge of Toronto and cottage country, with the forest at your back and the beach just a stone’s throw away, Forest Edge is set on an exclusive cul-de-sac that backs onto forest and provincially protected wetlands in an established neighbourhood,” says Gary Breda, president of Bremont Homes. “Forest Edge by Bremont Homes is walking distance from schools, shopping, restaurants, banks, and other great local amenities. Forest Edge is also a short walk to the crystal clear waters of Lake Simcoe, a boat launch, and a waterfront park.”

With construction slated to begin this spring, Breda says the custom-designed homes that make up Forest Edge in Innisfil Beach are inspired by colonial country architecture and feature porticos, large picture windows, bay/bow windows, transom windows, high-pitched roofs, gables, dormers, ornamental trim details, and decorative columns. In addition, all elevations are under strict architectural and colour control guidelines to ensure a truly harmonious and integrated streetscape in the Forest Edge community.

According to Breda, the manors at Forest Edge also include captivating open-concept-inspired interiors with innovative features, including dropped or cathedral ceilings, dramatic 14’ front sunken foyers with nine-foot ceilings on the first floor and eight-foot ceilings on the second floor.

“The Hickory, one of five unique homes at Forest Edge, is a 2,207-square-foot, two-story brick urban style design that has a two-car garage with lookout or a walk-out basement,” he adds. “The three-bedroom design comes with an optional fourth bedroom, beautiful multi-level design, a gorgeous gourmet kitchen with a centre island, elegant bathrooms, and a media room that has a balcony for a quick escape outdoors.”

The Hickory, Breda continues, is designed with an open-concept main floor dining room and spacious layout and a grand room with a gas fireplace. The well-appointed laundry room is on the second floor, in close proximity to the huge master bedroom with a full ensuite that includes a free-standing tub and separate shower and vanity with double sinks. The Hickory also offers up to $20,000 in extras included in the purchase price.

“There really is nothing quite like The Hickory and the entire Forest Edge development in all of Innisfil Beach, which explains why the development is almost sold out, save for a few choice lots overlooking the ravine,” Breda concludes. “Those interested in viewing The Hickory or learning about any of the five homes designed by Bremont Homes’ award-winning design team should come and see us in Innisfil or call 705-294-0934 and talk with one of our sales representatives.”

Recognised as one of the Greater Toronto Area’s finest home building companies, Bremont Homes is founded on a vision of quality design and workmanship, innovative style, and exceptional customer service. Over the years, Bremont Homes has developed a number of new communities and thousands of homes in Aurora, Burlington, Courtice, Georgetown, Maple, Pickering, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, and other prime locations in the Greater Toronto Area. Bremont Homes currently has a number of upscale communities with custom manors and luxury townhouses under development in Brampton and Wasaga Beach and on Lake Simcoe.

"At JJ Kane, we care about our buyers and sellers as we provide the services that are important to both in a way that is most convenient for them.

Hackers seek to disrupt electric grid through 'smart' devices

$

Every day, hackers ranging from high school kids to Iranian Revolutionary Guards search for ways to control or disrupt the flow of power in the United States or steal consumer information, according to regulators and security experts. Government regulators have recently focused on the physical security of the grid, following a possible terrorist attack last year on a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. substation in San Jose. Efforts to make the electrical grid "smarter" by using sensors, automation and communications technology have created new potential pathways for hackers to explore, experts say. In 2007, government researchers staged an experimental cyberattack, dubbed "Aurora," on an electric generator within a U.S. Department of Energy lab in Idaho, causing the generator to self-destruct. Working groupThe utility industry and several federal agencies have formed a working group of top-level executives and government officials who meet regularly on the subject. Utilities are also deploying a government-funded system called Cybersecurity Risk Information Sharing Program that monitors their networks for signs of hacker activity, using both unclassified and classified information to identify potential threats. Details of new malware can be shared among government agencies and utilities almost immediately, said Scott Aaronson, senior director for national security policy at the Edison Electric Institute, a utility trade association.
