Morila Limited is jointly owned by AngloGold Ashanti and us. Randgold derives the majority of its income from the sale of gold produced by Morila and Loulo in the form of dore, which we sell under agreement to a refinery. The Company has only one customer with whom it has an agreement to sell all of its gold production. The 'customer' is chosen annually on a tender basis from a selected pool of accredited refineries and international banks to ensure competitive refining and freight costs.

By Kate Stalter Posted 05/28/2009 02:13 PM ET Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP), which mines and markets coal to U.S.-based customers, was among stocks moving up in heavy volume Wednesday. It’s from the No. 26-ranked Energy-Other industry group. Earnings grew 70% in the most recent quarter. That followed a series of year-over-year earnings declines. You’d like to sales grow at a better rate. Most recently, revenue was up 16%. Alliance is a small cap that trades only 95,000 shares per day. That’s extremely thin. Such thin trade increases the risk of volatility. Return on equity is good, at 44%. Alliance has an Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5, indicating heavy demand recently. It has a strong Composite Rating, 95. Chart Analysis The stock rallied out of a cup-with-handle pattern (Point 1). It rallied less than 20% from its buy point before pulling into a new correction (Point 2). Currently, it may be shaping a flat base. That formation takes shape over at least five weeks, and corrects less than 15% within itself. Stock Checkup Alliance Resource Partners has a Composite Rating of 95. There’s a lot of strength in the 75-member Energy-Other group, so Alliance only notches the 12th-best Composite Rating. Its SMR Rating, which measures sales, profit margins and return on equity, is the group’s eighth highest.
