Geovic Mining die Kobaltaktie

Geovic schleicht nur noch dahin, nix mit Explosion

Leute sobald die Studie da ist und halbwegs brauchbar ist (soll jetzt April wohl passieren) geht hier die Post ab, das Ding iss total unterbewertet..solange kann se ruhig schleichen..

neue Feasibility Study, die sehr bald kommen wird, wohl positiv ausfallen würde. Ich gehe auch davon aus das sie mehr als nur gut ausfällt.

-- Total free cash flow (before debt service) of $2.14 billion over the
Project life.

"We are pleased with the results of the Nkamouna Feasibility Study, and will aggressively move forward with financing and off-take arrangements as quickly as possible," stated Mike Mason, Geovic's CEO. "We are confident the capital and operating costs have been well vetted, and that the overall economics are solid and defensible. Our ability to finance Nkamouna has been significantly enhanced, and we are now in a position to advance ongoing discussions with various parties."

The end products to be produced include a high-quality cobalt-nickel mixed sulfide precipitate ("MSP") product and a manganese carbonate product. Due to the strong off-take demand observed for MSP, it was determined that building a refinery to manufacture high-purity finished products was neither necessary nor cost efficient at this time. "Producing a high-quality intermediate MSP represents a much lower process risk in terms of our ability to get the metallurgical plant up-and-running, as well as to produce a more marketable and consistently high quality product sooner," Mr. Mason commented.

Financial Sensitivity to Product Prices

The Feasibility Study includes the financial sensitivity of the Project to changes in underlying commodity prices, calculating estimated operating results from 15% increases and decreases in cobalt, nickel, and manganese prices from the base case assumptions as follows:


Price Assumptions: Base - 15% Base + 15% Base Case
Cobalt, US$/lb $22.27 $30.13 $26.20
Nickel, US$/lb $7.41 $10.02 $8.71
Manganese, US$/lb $0.46 $0.63 $0.54
100% Equity - After Tax:
IRR, % 16% 27% 22%
NPV 8%, US$M 316 1,021 670
NPV 8%, US$M (Geovic Mining 60.5% Share) 191 618 405
Payback, Production Years 4.7 2.8 3.4

Feasibility Study Changes Compared to Previous Studies


-- A 24.5% increase in reserves based on the 54,900 meter drilling program
completed in 2009, yielding an updated mine plan that delivers higher
grade ore in the critical early years of production;
-- A simpler and highly flexible mining method better suited for all-
weather operation that enables concurrent mining and reclamation of
multiple ore zones;
-- An improved physical upgrading circuit that significantly improves the
economics by efficiently delivering higher grades to the process plant,
while removing the non economic material, deemed as waste;
-- A simplified and more robust metallurgical process, utilizing powdered
pyrite and sulfuric acid to leach the ore concentrate at atmospheric
pressure, which has been validated by significant additional
metallurgical test work, including a continuous pilot testing program in
2010;
-- A more environmentally protective water management and tailings disposal
system, including water treatment;
-- A detailed Project-wide energy balance enabling the economic use of
imported fuels replacing a dedicated biomass power plant that was
dependent on other local industries to supply fuel material; and
-- A modular design that allows the Project to produce cobalt-nickel MSP
and manganese carbonate as the marketable products, while retaining the
ability to add a refining facility at a future date.

Independent Advisors

The Geovic Cameroon Board of Directors is advised by its independent financial advisor Standard Chartered Bank of London, while the Geovic Board is advised by Canaccord Genuity of Vancouver.

Mr. John Marsden of Phoenix, Arizona advised Geovic Cameroon and Geovic as a technical advisor and a member of the Technical Advisory Panel, an independent panel of industry experts, for metallurgical aspects of the Project. Based on the review and opinions of the technical advisors, the results of the Feasibility Study have been based on sound feasibility-level design engineering and costing principles. The hydrometallurgy has been demonstrated through continuous pilot plant testing and the Technical Advisory Panel members are generally satisfied that the plant will be able to produce MSP and manganese carbonate if designed, constructed and operated according to the proposed plan.

2011 Plans

Geovic Cameroon and the Company, with the assistance of their financial advisors, now plan to secure the required Project financing later in 2011. Preliminary discussions have been held with prospective lenders, and completion of the Feasibility Study allows this process to be accelerated.

Discussions with numerous potential off-take partners have been ongoing for the past 18 months, and will accelerate in light of the completion of the Feasibility Study and near-term financing and construction targets. The Company is very encouraged by the level of off-take interest thus far, principally from China, Korea, and Japan, but also from other regions, including both trading companies and product end users. Moreover, discussions with such firms have also included the potential for strategic equity partnerships in Geovic Cameroon, as well as related Project financing arrangements.

Assuming Project financial arrangements are completed later in 2011, major site construction is scheduled to commence in early 2012. Under the base case scenario, it is anticipated that mining operations would commence in 2013, with commercial production before the end of 2014.

Geovic Cameroon Chairman and Geovic Mining Chief Financial Officer Greg Hill commented, "We are excited with the results of the Nkamouna Feasibility Study, which bear out the confidence we have always had in this unique Project, despite recent financial market turbulence. Nkamouna comprises only about 20% of the mineralized area within Geovic Cameroon's Mine Permit area boundary, and as such, this Project has the potential to produce cobalt, nickel, and manganese for many decades to come. We are now ready to move forward with Project financing and ally with parties looking to secure long-term strategic supplies of cobalt, nickel and manganese." William A. Buckovic, Company founder, who conducted the early exploration of the deposits and formed Geovic Cameroon in 1995 to exploit the deposits, stated, "This Feasibility Study validates the last 15 years of efforts and the investment of over $100 million by the shareholders of Geovic Cameroon in defining this Project and developing and proving the specialized production scheme that is required to operate this unique world class resource."

Phillip Mason, General Manager of Geovic Cameroon, added, "This Feasibility Study will no doubt enable significant long-term value creation for our stakeholders, and especially for the people of Cameroon."

Nun ist die Feasibility Study da und ich habe mir folgende gedanken dazu gemacht.

Ich habe bisher bei solchen angeheneden Minen wie es Geovic nunmal ist  wenn die Feasibility Study vorhanden war, mit 5% Marktkapitalisierung aus dem gesamten Vorkommen gerechnet und bin dabei immer gut gefahren. Wenn dann die Mine in Betrieb war mit 10% und wenn der der Cashfow fließt dann KGV 6 aus dem gesamten Cashfow geteilt durch Lebenslaufzeit.

Dabei komme ich hier auf einen Minen wert von ca. 100 Mio. CHN Dollar zu heutigen Tag, bei Produktionstart von ca. 200 Mio. Dollar und wenn die Minen laufen sollte von 0,5 Mrd. Dollar.

Also gehe ich hier von einer Kursverdoppelung aus in naher Zukunft. Ob die weitere Werte erreicht werden hängt vom Managment ab wie gut sie für die Zukunft geplant haben und es auch umgesetzt werden kann.

So sehe ich die Mine und meine Investition bei Geovic

sowie

Ich lese das so:

es herrscht akuter Geldmangel und man sucht nun nach einem Senior Partner, dem man a) das Flaggschiff-Projekt verkaufen kann um sich auf die Exploration des Restes zu konzentrieren oder b) der einen Mehrheitsanteil am Projekt übernimmt & dafür die Kosten trägt.

wie seht ihr das...? Positiv oder negativ?

...hier geht nicht mehr viel glaub ich...

Super 1,5k versenkt, scheiß Oxford-Club EilDepesche!

.....hoffe es geht auch wieder ein bisschen bergauf ;) macht zumindestens den Anschein:

ein Projekt soll in die Realität umgesetzt werden.....

Hier scheint ja echt noch was zu gehen. Hoffentlich nicht nur ein kurzes Strohfeuer, sondern etwas nachhaltiges. Wenn die Chinesen tatsächlich investieren und in näher Zukunft produziert wird, dann sieht es rosig aus.
Ich hatte meine 3,5k, ähnlich wie Heimo, eigentlich auch schon abgeschrieben, jetzt sieht es so aus, als könnte ich noch mit einem blauen Auge davon kommen.
Mein Einstiegskurs war 0,35.

Guten Morgen;

nach dem explosionsartigen Kurssprung, wurden gestern sicherlich einige Gewinne realisiert;

aber trotzdem hat der Kurs keine "riesen" Rückgänge wie erwartet vollzogen;

daher schätze Ich, dass langfristig ein Kurs Richtung Norden möglich sein wird.

Schönes Wochenende an alle Investierten!

Hier noch ein Link zu einer anderen Seite; zu der Meldung vom 23.07.13 (Abbau in Kamerun)

Hier einer aktueller Link zu den Beteiligungen von Geovic:

http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/news/business/...poration/index.html

Da haben wir uns letztes Jahr wohl zu früh gefreut. In solche Explorerklitschen investiere ich keinen Cent mehr. Die Hoffnung auf gigantische Gewinne wird zu 99% nicht erfüllt, da kann man auch gleich Lotto spielen. Die freuen sich nur über das "stupid German Money", das sie einsacken können.
Allen, die ebenfalls hier investiert sind, mein Beileid.

Ich hatte diese Aktie hier eigentlich schon abgeschrieben (pleite). Aber nun kamen ja doch nochmal news. Evtl. geht ja noch was hier.

Tatsache ist aber, dass uns die ganzen Börsendienste ordentlich verarscht haben.

Die Oxford Club EilDepesche hat damals von 650% Kurspotential gesprochen... X(

So, habe heute zu 0,024 EUR verkauft.

Allen die noch drinne sind viel Glück, aber ich habe es satt hier der kommenden Insolvenz zuzusehen. knapp 70 Euro habe ich noch erlöst.
