Mighty Beaut Minerals (VSE/NI -- formerly Kismet Ventures)
is a nickel/cobalt mining company with extensive holdings in the
Philippines. It recently received a positive pre-feasibility study
placing the company well within the lower 25% of current & forecasted
nickel producers worldwide. This geological survey estimates the
total resource of its property at 77,156,500 DMT (Dry Metric Tons)
of nickel laterite ore with an average content of 1.29% nickel &
0.09% cobalt.
NI plans a full feasibility study for the proposed construction
of a High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) refinery using the licensed
technolo-gy of Dynatec Corporation's Metallurgi-cal Technologies
Division to extract the nickel & cobalt. The nickel industry is
divided on the success of the HPAL process, but it has been in use
for forty years by the Dynatec division. This refinery would produce
up to 40,000 tones of nickel & 3,130 tons of cobalt a year -- generating
revenues of $288,000,000.
With the price of nickel at a 12 year low, heavy pressure is on
the industry to reduce production costs -- currently around $1.60/lb
-- or face significant losses. NI is a major player in the HPAL
extraction method which promises to reduce production costs to less
than $0.60/lb, thereby providing some breathing room -- & potential
profits -- for the producer. Additional testing is underway in Australia
& its results will have a dramatic impact on the industry as a whole.
NI is well posi-tioned to benefit from its efforts in the Philippines.

Saf-T-Hammer Corp. (NASDAQ/SAFH) has developed a product
which could save hundreds of lives; especially the population most
vulnerable to accidental gun deaths; children between the ages of
14 & 19. That product is Saf-T-Hammer, a patent-pending, detachable
hammer which replaces the existing external hammer on firearms.
Since it is the hammer which actual fires the bullet, storing the
handgun without a hammer renders it completely safe; even if fully
loaded. External hammers are present in the majority of the 65 million
handguns currently owned in the U.S. Saf-T-Hammer is custom designed
to exactly fit each gun model.
For about $50, the gun owner would have a qualified gunsmith replace
the permanent hammer with Saf-T-Hammer in about 30 minutes. The
authorized owner can remove or replace the Saf-T-Hammer, even in
the dark, in just about one second. This device is a better solution
than gun locks which require the use of keys or codes, both of which
are time-consuming or require committing a code to memory. Congress
is considering a variety of legislation aimed at safeguarding guns
stored at home from children or thieves. Saf-T-Hammer, available
early in 1999, appears to offer a fairly simple, but effective solution
which has the support of many law enforcement agencies. Call Exec.
