Congo 2010 Copper Output Seen Hitting 400,000 Tons - Ministry

5-10-10 7:02 AM EDT  

Congo's 2010 copper output is expected to hit 400,000 metric tons as output rises at several new mining projects, the ministry of mines said Monday.

In a report, the ministry projects that annual copper output will exceed 800, 000 tons by 2012 due to increased production from mines operated by U.S.-based Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX), Toronto-listed Katanga Mining Ltd. ( KAT.T) and the state-mining company Gecamines.

Freeport operates Congo's largest copper/cobalt mine Tenke Fungurume, which began commercial production last year. The project is believed to hold the world's largest unexploited copper and cobalt reserves.

Congo last produced more than 400,000 tons of copper in a year in the 1980s before years of political mismanagement and civil war led to the near collapse of the sector.

The ministry said cobalt production is expected to exceed 90,000 tons by 2012 compared with this year's forecast of 30,000 tons. Congo holds at least a third of the global cobalt reserves.

The government projects that by 2012 the mining sector will create up to 50, 000 direct jobs and about 300,000 indirect jobs.

The ministry also forecast significant output increases for other minerals, including gold, diamonds and cassiterite, or tin ores.

Congo produces between 5% and 7% of the global tin output, despite the chaotic nature of the country's tin mining sector in the lawless Kivu provinces.

Xstrata stops Australia copper exploration due to tax
Mon May 10, 2010 3:29am BST

SYDNEY, May 10 (Reuters) - Global miner Xstrata (XTA.L) has suspended copper exploration work in Australia's Queensland state until it better understands the implications of a new tax set to be imposed on mining companies, it said on Monday.

Market Movers

"Exploration is the lifeblood of the mining industry but it is not possible to justify Xstrata Copper's ongoing funding of additional exploration activities when the fundamental economics of the industry in Australia are being challenged," it said in a statement.

......und auf 1-Jahressicht (!!!) exzellente Aussichten der Produktionssteigerung. So kann man dem Anspruch eines "Weltmarktführers" gerecht werden......KAT wird uns noch viel Freude bereiten :-)

nochmal die Chance nachzulegen, da der Kurs nachgibt !! IMO

Also auf ein Neues und allen investierten viel Glück!

wird den Ansprüchen eines Weltmarktführers leider in keiner Weise gerecht:

Gerade mal 0,13% der freien Aktien bisher gehandelt...

ist m.E. in erster Linie dem steigenden Markt geschuldet.
http://www.ariva.de/chart/images/...&boerse_id=37&secu=300210
Rückschläge wird es weiterhin geben, und wie herbe die bei dieser Aktie ausfallen können, haben die meisten hier bereits zu spüren bekommen...

Das nicht "weltmarktführergerechte" Volumen wird m.E. auch wieder anziehen und ich denke der heutige Anstieg ist nicht dem steigendem Markt geschuldet, wohl eher den guten Zahlen.

Da bin ich anderer Meinung:
Viele Anleger werden noch positivere Zahlen erwartet haben; die "besser Informierten" haben gestern suzusagen "im Vorfeld" verkauft ("Sell on good news"), daher sackte der Kurs ab, obwohl der Gesamtmarkt besser lief.
Die guten Zahlen sind m.E. im Anstieg des Aktienwertes um etwa 60% im Verlauf der letzten Wochen bereits eingepreist.

mal die Zahlen auf der Zunge zergehen lassen:

Wenn die Zahlen 2.Quartal/2011 raus kommen wird sich der Erlös aus Kupferverkäufen fast verdreifachen und der Erlös aus Kobalverkäufen etwas mehr als verdoppeln. Im Ergebnis ein Quartals-Erlös von etwa 380 Mio Dollar im Vergleich zu den jetzigen 140 Mio Dollar.......

(überschlägige Rechnung bei angenommener Preiskonstelation dieses Quartals)

Für Deine Meinung spricht, dass Katanga fast 10% im Plus schliesst, obwohl der Gesamtmarkt alle Gewinne wieder abgegeben hat.

Hoffen wir für die Zukunft das Beste.
Zweifellos ist Katanga zur Zeit eines der spannendsten Investments überhaupt...
