Das Comeback von Mindoro
Bei Mindoro sind es inzwischen 443000ozAu, also beinahe doppelt so viel wie Cadan vorweisen kann.
Mindoro wird aktuell mit 0,1852$/Aktie an der Nasdaq bewertet, irgendwann in der näheren Zukunft wird sich das ändern.
Im Frühstadium. Ist der Widerstand bei 0,145$ genommen, wird der weitere Vortrieb wesentlich unterstützt. Der erste Lichtblick nach dunklen 4 Monaten.
Der MACD signalisiert es schon etwas länger, aber noch mit wenig Nachdruck.
Die Zeit sich zu entscheiden naht und wird kürzer.

IRW-PRESS: MINDORO LTD: Mindoro Resources Ltd.: Infill-Bohrungen bei Agata Nickel abgeschlossen; Höhere Gehalte durchschnitten
Auszug aus der obigen Pressemeldung:
Die endgültigen Ergebnisse der Bohrungen werden nun als Vorbereitung für eine aktualisierte Mineralressourcenerklärung gemäß NI 43-101 modelliert, welche bis Ende August 2010 fällig ist. Das aktualisierte Mineralressourcenmodell wird gemeinsam mit den Informationen der Minenplanung die Vorbereitung einer Mineralreservenerklärung gemäß NI 43-101 ermöglichen. Abnahmegespräche befinden sich in fortgeschrittenem Stadium, werden jedoch nicht abgeschlossen werden, bis anhand der Mineralreserveninformationen ein detaillierter Minenplan erstellt wird. Die Phase-I- (DSO)-Rahmenuntersuchung und Machbarkeitsstudie für das Projekt Agata Nickel werden anschließend finalisiert und beim Philippines Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) für eine endgültige Erschießungsgenehmigung eingereicht.
>>> Erschießungsgenehmigung eingereicht
wer soll da erschossen werden??
Da wird aus einer "Erschließung" eine "Erschießung".
Meinen Respekt für das aufmerksame Lesen an @msn200.
Auch wenn sie eine "Erschießungsgenehmigung" für die Rahmenuntersuchung einreichen, ändert das nichts an den guten Aussichten für Mindoro. :-))

Zitat Beginn:
Ich wollte mich nur kurz von meinem langen Urlaub zurückmelden -- leider mit einer "schlechten" Nachricht: Nämlich der, daß ich nichts neues zu berichten habe (also keine schlechte Nachricht -im eigentlichen Sinne- aber auch keine super "Insider" Meldung... die ich gerne mitgebracht hätte!)
Ich hatte am Ende meines Aufenthaltes einen Termin im Manila-Büro mit Hr. Abrasaldo... der sich aber ganz kurzfristig zerschlagen hatte.
Dies ist aber als (kleine) positive Nachricht zu verstehen, denn Edsel Abrasaldo war kurzfristig nach China (ich glaube Shanghai) abgereist um "Sondierungs-Gespräche" auf informeller Basis mit möglichen Interessenten eines Vor-Ort-Aufarbeitungs JV zu führen.
Jetzt darf man nicht gleich in Euphorie verfallen.... ein JV dieser Art ist momentan auf (lange, lange - ?) Zeit noch nicht in Sicht, aber.... --das Positive ist-- daß man auch in dieser Richtung "am Ball" ist..... und sich zu jeder Zeit *ÜBERRASCHUNGEN* ergeben können!
Also nochmal: Mir wurde gesagt, es stehe nichts an (was für mich -zum jezigen Zeitpunkt- der Wahrheit entspricht) -- aber,... aber, man ist am Ball... und es wird auch in diese Richtung gearbeitet!
Die Vorbereitungen "bürokratischer" Art zum Errichten der "DSO"-Infrastruktur ist komplett(?) - zumindestens größten Teils abgeschlossen und die konkreten Planungs- und Bauarbeiten werden wohl demnächst beginnen....
Die letzten Tage reiste Hr. Abrasaldo zum (field-) camp in Mainit (Surigao del Norte) um von dort aus den Beginn der Bohrungen auf den "northern Surigao Projects" zu leiten bzw. überwachen. Diese Bohrungen sind der erste Schritt um die ca. 50 to 70 million DMT "Exploration Target" der anderen Nickel-Gebiete in "NI 43-101 - Resourcen" umzuwandeln.... um das MIO-Nickel für einen noch zu findenden (Aufarbeitungs-) JV-Partner noch attraktiver zu machen.
Dies alles sind -leider- keine neuen/großartigen Neuigkeiten, aber -- es ist gut zu wissen, daß alles ohne interne oder externe Verzögerungen -im Ramen unserer (MIO) Möglichkeiten- zügig voran schreitet....

Nickel is economically extracted from deposits of nickel-bearing minerals in the Earth's crust, which, over geological time, have concentrated nickel into relatively small areas near to the surface in what are known as orebodies. Ore minerals are combinations of nickel and other elements, such as iron, sulphur, cobalt and oxygen, that can be extracted economically. Nickel ores are found in many countries, but the principal nickel mining areas are Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Cuba, Greece, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Southern Africa and Russia. Important nickel refineries also operate in Norway, Finland, France, Japan and the United Kingdom.
A list of some of the world's major producers of nickel (which are also members of the Nickel Institute) is available here.
Nickel is of considerable economic and strategic importance to many countries, as can be appreciated from the wide diversity of end-use industries which it serves.
The International Nickel Study Group, based in The Hague, Netherlands, is an inter-governmental body which publishes monthly statistics on nickel supply and demand, and acts as a forum for the exchange of information and views on nickel trends. To meet the growing need for nickel-containing alloys and products, world production of nickel grew dramatically during the 20th century and currently stands at around 1 million tonnes per annum. It is also traded on the London Metal Exchange.
The world's producers sell nickel in many forms, as sheets, powders, pellets, ingots, etc., to thousands of buyers. About 85% of this nickel is used in combination with other metals to make what are known as alloys. These substances have their own physical and mechanical properties which are distinct from those of their constituent elements. Alloys that contain nickel include hundreds of different grades of stainless steels, hundreds of different nickel alloys, many alloy steels, and a few copper-nickel alloys. About 65% of nickel is used to make stainless steel, the most common grades of which contain 8% to 12% nickel.
Stainless steels have a total production volume approaching 20 million tonnes per annum. This family of materials now consists of more than 100 separate grades offering a wide range of attractive properties, which, in turn, results in even greater diversity of use. As a result of new technology, the manufacture of stainless steel has become increasingly efficient and economical, rendering it competitive with alternative materials.
The rise in the number of emerging applications of stainless steel, combined with its rapidly improving price-competitiveness, largely accounts for a sustained underlying growth rate of some 5% to 6% per annum for this material.
A list of some of the major nickel alloy and nickel stainless steel producers in the world is available here.
Non-alloy applications for nickel include various types of plating and chemical applications, notably batteries and catalysts.

Mindoro Resources Ltd.: Increased Agata Nickel Resource and Regional Drilling Commenced
Text: EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Aug. 23, 2010) - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MIO); (FRANKFURT:WKN 906167) today announced an increased Mineral Resource estimate for the Agata Nickel Project. This includes a Measured and Indicated resource of 29.8 million tonnes at 1.03 percent nickel, an increase of 2.9 million tonnes compared to the December 2009 estimate with a slight decrease in grade due to a more robust estimation methodology and more detailed information. In addition an Inferred resource of 1.46 million tonnes at 1.01 percent nickel has been estimated.
The mineral resource estimate is tabulated below.

The new resource estimate was carried out by Mark Gifford MSc (Hons), MAusIMM an independent qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, in conjunction with Quantitative Group in Perth, Australia. A total of 593 drill core holes for 10,851m of diamond drill core were used for the estimate. The resource estimation method applied was Ordinary Kriging, a very robust and proven methodology with regards to lateritic nickel deposits. All previous resource estimates were completed by a length-weighted inverse distance squared method to provide an indicative resource appropriate to the drilling density at the time of reporting. Cut-off grades applied to the resource were 0.5 percent within the Limonite zone and 0.8 percent within the Saprolite zone. Mr. Gifford has indicated that the density of drilling and continuity of mineralization is sufficient to classify the estimated resource and has verified and authorized the technical information detailed in this release. . Mr. Mark Gifford has 22 years of experience as a professional geologist including in a geological managerial position at the Murrin Murrin nickel laterite operation in Western Australia and experience on other Nickel Laterite projects around the world. The Ni 43-101 compliant technical report will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days.
A plan available with this release on Mindoro's website illustrates the distribution of nickel laterite drilled from 2006 to date.
Detailed open pit mine design is now in progress based on the new mineral resource model. The objective of this work is to produce a mineral inventory and preliminary production schedule based on the requirements of nickel pig-iron producing offtakers for 0.9% to 1.1% Nickel and greater than 48% Iron Limonitic material and Chinese Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and/or other acid leach or ferronickel processors that require material grading greater than 1.45 percent Nickel at varying iron content.
In addition a scoping study has been initiated through Hatch engineering group in Perth into low-capital cost, thermal upgrading technologies, such as sintering, to produce much higher-value iron and iron-nickel products from the Limonitic ores. These have the potential to quickly phase out the shipping of raw DSO product, and to form an intermediate development stage prior to a major acid-leach processing operation. The major acid-leach project scoping studies, including additional metallurgical testing, are due for completion late September 2010.
Mindoro has also now commenced drilling the regional nickel laterite exploration target in order to convert a significant proportion of the 50 million to 70 million DMT @ 0.9% to 1.2% nickel Exploration Target to NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource. A total of 7,000m to 10,000m are planned to complete this program, over the next 4 to 6 months.
The reader is cautioned that the potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature; it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the Exploration Target being delineated as a mineral resource and there is no guarantee that these resources, if delineated, will be economic or sufficient to support a commercial mining operation. The company's production objectives are intended to provide an indication of management's current expectations and are still conceptual in nature. It is uncertain that it will be established that these resources will be converted into economically viable mining reserves. Until a feasibility study has been completed, there is no certainty that these objectives will be met.
Tony Climie, P.Geol, is the company's Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, who is responsible for monitoring the supervision and quality control of Mindoro's exploration programs and who has reviewed and verified the technical information contained in this news release. Sample preparation and assaying were performed by Intertek Testing Services, Phils., Inc. (ITS). The ITS Phils. facility is among Intertek's global network of mineral testing laboratories. It provides high quality assay analysis of mineral samples for nickel deposit exploration projects. Each sample is analyzed for nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), magnesium(Mg), aluminum (Al), silica (SiO2), CaO, Cr2O3, K2O, MnO, Na2O, P2O5, and TiO2. Whole rock analyses are done using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). The samples are fused using lithium metaborate. XRF analysis determines total element concentrations that are reported as oxides. Intertek mineral testing laboratories implement quality protocols. Normal Quality Control and Quality Assurance procedures are being carried out, using a system of repeat analyses plus split sample analyses and the use of standard reference materials and blanks. Mindoro has also conducted assay verification using standard samples and re-assaying field and pulp duplicates.

Project description
IFC released the original SPI in September 24, 2008. The project was not submitted to the IFC Board as exploration activities ceased due to the global financial crisis. In April 2010, the company restarted exploration and IFC undertook its second review. This SPI updates the version previously disclosed (please see attached) and should be read in conjunction with it.
Mindoro Resources Ltd (“Mindoro”, or the “Company”) objective is to build a successful exploration and mining company in the Philippines with focus on nickel, copper and gold . Mindoro’s primary asset is the 75% interest in the Agata nickel laterite deposit in the Agusan del Norte Region, Northern Mindanao Island. The Agata nickel prospect has the potential to become a sizeable nickel mine with resources possibly in excess of 100 million tons at comparatively attractive nickel grades. Agata has a NI 43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource of 36.5 million wet metric tonnes at 1.11% nickel (dry), containing 657 million pounds of nickel and 24 million pounds of cobalt. Mindoro also owns interests in gold, copper, and copper-gold prospects in the Surigao District, Batangas District on Luzon Island, and on Pan de Azucar Island.
IFC equity investment will support Mindoro’s resource drilling, feasibility and other studies, and exploration activities for its nickel, copper and gold prospects.
