20LSTG_chart.pngEven though the hype around the previous promotions of Lone Star Gold, Inc. (OTC:LSTG) proved to be largely based on fiction, there are yet new promotional efforts.

Yesterday the company issued a press release claiming the first stage drilling on the La Candelaria gold-silver project would commence that very day. At the end of the session LSTG closed up 10.61% at $0.99 with a volume of 1.3 million shares.[BANNER]

The results from this first stage drilling are expected by mid-December, so for now the objective view remains that LSTG has no proven or probable reserves on the property.

Another fact is that Goldcorp denied the claims of a possible buyout, put forward by previous promoters. Still, in the new promotions such a scenario is mentioned once again.

While long term investments in LSTG at this time could prove a very unsound decision, the liquidity of the stock offers opportunities for short term profits for those who stay objective and know how to play.

768LSTG_logo.jpgTraders should be very careful with their due diligence. The current price of LSTG gives it a market cap of approximately $114 million. Such valuation will be very questionable until LSTG provides some information about the actual reserves on its properties.
