UNITED
DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (UDI RESOURCES - PINK
SHEETS: UDVE) |
 |
Dear Reader,
What do Carol Channing and King Midas have in common? Very little
other than their individual and professed passions for two of
the most sought after commodities in the world- Diamonds and
Gold.
Today’s StockUpTick’s feature has a business plan uniquely built
on both these treasures. UDI Resources (pink sheets: UDVE)
operates mines in Guyana that are producing gold AND diamonds
and because of that unique fact, we have chosen as we rarely do,
to feature a pink sheet company.
Generally, we train our sites on small NASDAQ or OTC deals but
every now and then we’re introduced to a pink sheet deal that
warrants our attention. Most investors maintain a small high-risk
element to their portfolio and we will occasionally try and bring
deals to your attention that may meet your criteria.
Today’s feature is intriguing in so far that it is founded in
the most coveted resource of all time- gold. In the history of
mankind, gold has been the prevailing form of currency and even
today amid a digital world and technological advances, gold remains
prized and revered in a variety of ways. Remember, dear readers,
nobody wears a stock certificate.
So, we’re pleased today to bring to your attention a bold mining
company which has found more than gold in them ‘thar hills. They’ve
also reportedly located a wealth of diamonds among their bounty.
Perhaps, our portfolios can be so fortunate!

ABOUT
UDI RESOURCES |
 |
 |
United Development International Corp., ("UDI RESOURCES"
"UDI") operates a resource operation in the country of Guyana,
and another in Canada. UDI currently has offices, or affiliate
offices, in South America and Canada. The corporate and
legal office for the company is located in the state of
Nevada.
As a resource producer, UDI benefits from the properties
and contract relationships under its management that primarily
mine gold and natural minerals. UDI has a strong market
presence in the countries that it operates, including
alliances with local companies.
The ongoing gold exploration and initial gold extraction
and production business that is at the core of UDI's business
model is concentrated on developing two very distinct
gold properties in the Western Hemisphere.
|
 |
THE
TWO UDI PROPERTIES |
 |
UDI has a property in Canada and a property in Guyana in South
America. The company is initially concentrating on most of its
resources on the Guyana property because of the immediate revenues
that are available. The Canadian property is being brought
online to produce at a consistant pace, however the Guyana property
is 'up and running' and currently ready to begin producing
revenues.
Property One
The La Ronge property in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada is currently
the focus of strategic planning at UDI for an extensive exploration
program. The work will include a six hole initial drill program
and ground sampling. This program is designed to better evaluate
previously discovered gold intersections in soils over a wide
spread area.
 |
The property is located just 15 kilometers north of LaRonge
Saskatchewan, and lies on the LaRonge gold belt, which has
hosted many mines in the area. One of the most recent was
the Contact Lake Gold Mine which is approximately 15 kilometers
northeast.
A few years earlier there was the Anglo Rouyn Copper
/ Gold Mine which was only 25 kilometers northeast. There
are also many other properties in the region currently
under development.
A current work program consisting of magnetic, VLF-EM
surveys and diamond drilling lead to discovery of gold
near the southern boundary of the claims in late 1997.
From 1997 to 2001, 35 holes were drilled, with anomalous
gold being intersected in 19 out of a 35 holes, with the
best intersection averaging 1.05 ounces per ton over eight
feet.
|
Property Two
Potaru Mining District of Guyana, South America, The Konawaruk
River property is a very unique property for UDI in that it is
already producing small amounts of gold from alluvial deposits,
in addition to the possibility of extensive gold discoveries over
the 25 square miles covering the claim. Gold grades up to 5 ounces
per ton have been uncovered in the area within the same geologic
setting as the UDI claim.
Prior to 1922 this property produced 91,000 ounces of gold using
outdated extraction methods. Historical data compiled in 1935
and 1953 outline a delineated resource of 60 million cubic yards
of material with a grade of 3.43 grains per cubic yard. This equates
to a current resource 431,494 ounces of gold on the property.
This data has been confirmed in a geological report submitted
October 2001.
Furthermore this area is considered "under explored" and
has not been the subject of sophisticated modern exploration techniques
or methods at all. UDI Resources views this property as having
excellent potential to produce a sizable, if not world class,
gold resource and intends to initiate appropriate, aggressive
work programs to determine its true value.

Where is Guyana?
Guyana is located in South America bordering Venezuela to
the north and Suriname and Brazil to the south
What is the current
climate for mining in South America and Guyana?
The government of Guyana is friendly
to outside mining and exploration companies and
recognizes the economic value of opening up more of the
country to exploration activities.
Is Guyana politically
and economically stable?
Formerly British Guiana, the country has
been independent since 1966 and is now a republic.
Supervised elections in late 1992, the first since independence,
displaced the PNC party which oversaw economic ruin during
the 1970's and 1980's.
How important
is mining to Guyana?
The economy of Guyana is dominated by resource
exports: gold, bauxite, diamonds, rice, sugar, timber,
with little other industry.
|
The economy of Guyana is growing at 6% annually after contracting
during the 1970's and 1980's; opening of the Omai gold mine in
1993 increased the GDP by about 25%. Guyana is a member of CARICOM
(Caribbean common market) and compared to some other South American
countries, Guyana is considered stable and represents a significant
opportunity for mineral resource exploration.

United Development
International Completes Dredge Financing;
Will Begin
Production from 300,000+ Ounce Gold Resource Immediately While
Continuing Exploration Efforts
LAS VEGAS, May 6, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- United Development
International (Pink Sheets:UDVE) management is pleased to
announce that the company has concluded financing on the purchase
of an initial suction dredge in Guyana. The dredge was purchased
from North American Resources, which has been exploring and working
in the property claim area for many years. This purchase is the
catalyst for United Development International (UDI) to initiate
gold production from the joint venture property and realize cash
flow from operations. The property is comprised of 25 square miles
along the Konawaruk River and past production from limited operation
by North American has proven to be in excess of 150 ounces of
gold per month.
The dredge is being refitted for increased production capabilities
and will begin gold production shortly. In addition to this purchase,
management is also pleased to announce it is negotiating the purchase
of a second dredge that will allow the company to double production
and cover more area along the river.
According to Director Robert Doherty, "We are extremely pleased
with our development to date and are now in a position to benefit
from the dredging operation from a cash flow position. We know
the gold is there from previous work and geological reports and
from day to day operations. All you have to do at the end of the
day is look in the recovery box and you can see it."
