Human population studies show that eating garlicregularly reduces the risk of esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer.This is partly due to garlic's ability to reduce the formation ofcarcinogenic compounds. Animal and test tube studies also show thatgarlic, and its sulfur compounds, inhibit the growth of different typesof cancer-especially breast and skin tumors.

Junex gets first coverage as Wellington West weighs in on Utica shale play
Posted: May 29, 2008, 1:31 PMbyDavid Pett

WellingtonWest analyst Kim Page initiated coverage on three junior explorers withexposure to the Utica Shale natural gas play this week, giving GastemInc., Questerre Energy Corp. and Junex Inc. the thumbs up to reflectthe massive resource potential waiting to be unlocked in the St.Lawrence Lowlands of Quebec.

In the case of Junex, Mr. Page becomes the first Canadian analyst to pick up coverage on the company.

"Webelieve the Utica, if proven commercially viable, has the potential tobe one of the largest resource plays in Canada," the analyst said in astrategy report to clients.

He said investors should beencouraged by other noteable shale trends in Western Canada, includingthe Bakken in Saskatchewan and the Doig/Halfway/Montney in NortheastB.C., which have proven highly economic thanks to the evolution ofdrilling and completion technology. 

In total, Mr. Page saidthe most prospective area of the Utica shale play encompasses over 500square kilometres, with recent estimates suggesting the potential forapproximately 25 trillion cubic feet of recoverable resource.

With 1.2 million net acres, Junexis by far thelargest landholder in the St. Lawrence Lowlands, the analyst toldclients, noting the company has three key properties in the heart ofthe play and boastsseveral joint-venture arrangements including one very importantpartnership with Denver-based Forest Oil Corp. 

"Junexhas a 15% working interest in 143 million acres at Becanceour and a 40%working interest in 55 million acres at Contreceour, both to beoperated by Forest Oil," he wrote, and based on his "even tempered"estimates, he believes the company could be sitting on up to 1.25trillion cubic feet of natural gas valued at more than $19 per share. 

Fornow, he rates Junex as a "speculative buy" with a $9.50 price target.His valuation does not include the company's approximately 5 millionacres in the GaspePeninsula.

As for Questerreand Gastem, Mr. Page tagged both  with "speculative buy" ratings andprice targets of $8.75 and $4.25, respectively.  The analyst saidQuesterre is well positioned in both core blocks in the heart of theplay with both majors, Forest Oil and Talisman Energy Inc. Meanwhile, Gastem's diversified portfolio base of  assets in Quebec and Upper New York State "provide more avenues for success in the Utica play.
