Kann bloß gut für unsere Aquila sein....

das eine Mine von Rio Tinto ,in der Nähe von Aquila, schon fast die Genehmigung zum Bau in der Tasche hat.

dafür das Gestern Ergebnisse kamen, hat sie sich bis jetzt ja gut gehalten...

Zu früh gefreut

Immer schön weiter Richtung Allzeittief....

für ein Trauerspiel!

Habe alle meine Aquila verkauft, bevor es in einem Totalverlust endet :-(

das jetzt noch bringt??? Noch weiter runter kann´s doch bald nicht gehen? Oder???

Hatte mir bei 60 Cent auch gedacht, dass es nicht weiter runter geht - Vielleicht habe ich auch Pech und Aquila macht nächste Woche 70% plus. Ich weiß allerdings nicht worauf ich bei der Aktie noch warten soll. Wenn Ergebnisse kommen, sinkt die Aktie, kommen keine Ergebnisse, sinkt sie auch....

.......über die Zukunft dieses Papieres.

Die melden in regelmäßigen Abständen über Ihre Bohrergebnisse aber haben wohl
bisher nix zustande gebracht was einem Abbau der Rohstoffe auch nur im entferntesten nahekommt.

Haben die evtl. Schwierigkeiten mit den Genehmigungen?

Haben die evtl. überhaupt schon mal Genehmigungen bei den zuständigen
Behördern eingereicht, oder spielen die nur mit dem schönen neuen Baggererspielzeug wie Klein-Sohnemann im Sandkasten.
(Tschuldigung: Ein bischen Sarkasmus oder Galgenhumor muß auch mal sein)

Da war doch schon etwas im Gange mit dem "Nachbar-Abbaugebiet" und einer evtl.
in Kürze anstehenden Genehmigung.

Wie ist denn hier der Stand der Dinge....

Gruß

 

Aquila
kommt nicht in Schwung weil viele Investoren glauben, Aquila würde
keine Minengenehmigung in Michigan bekommen. Wie ein bb aus bekannten
Kreisen hört, soll schon in Kürze eine Genehmigung
zum Bau einer neuen Mine in der Nähe von Aquila für Rio
Tinto erteilt werden.
Die Projektqualität steht wohl außer
Zweifel. (Was ich auch denke)

Frägt sich halt wie lang "in kürze" heißt?
Mittlerweile ist sie aber auch nicht mehr im Musterdepot des BB ,obwohl sie Privat an ihren Beständen festhalten.

Mehr weiß ich auch nicht.Wer weiß mehr?

warum ist die denn heute so abgegangen? Bei relativ hohen Umsätzen - gab´s da was Neues?

Warum ging´s denn da so ab heute? Bei relativ hohen Umsätzen? Gab es Neuigkeiten?

werden meine Beiträge hier nicht eingefügt?

passiert halt manchmal?

Was meint Ihr, sollte man nachkaufen?

 

"The public needs to have absolute confidence in the process, and to the extent this matter has become a distraction from reaching a fair decision in the case at hand, the distraction needs to be removed, and I need to take myself out of the equation," Davis said in a statement. "I categorically deny any wrongdoing in this matter."

Davis' recusal comes in the wake of a letter sent earlier in the day from Attorney General Jay Nixon to the Office of the Public Counsel. Nixon's letter asked the public counsel to seek Davis' recusal.

On Monday, the commission agreed to release e-mails between Green and Aquila's board. In the e-mails, Green explained that he had contacted Davis, as well as regulators with the Kansas Corporate Commission, to discuss the proposed merger.

"We do courtesy things like that all the time," Aquila spokesman Al Butkus said. "He made the same courtesy call to (Commission Chairman Brian) Moline in Kansas."

As part of that phone call, Butkus said, Green noted a case in New Jersey in which a proposed merger between two utilities lingered for two years. The delay ultimately killed the merger.

In one e-mail, Green wrote: "Chairman Davis said that he wants to see a strong utility in the western part of the state and is willing to move quickly to get the transaction approved. It is clear he wants to demonstrate to a wide audience that he can push deals through in Missouri. He specifically said that he wants to show that Missouri is not like New Jersey."

Since Aquila (NYSE: ILA) and Great Plains Energy (NYSE: GXP) first announced the transaction on Feb. 11, 2006, federal regulators and state regulatory commissions in Nebraska and Iowa have approved the deal. Missouri and Colorado officials are considering it, and Kansas is expected to start hearings early next year. Aquila officials had hoped to have the deal finalized in the first quarter of 2008.

PSC spokesman Kevin Kelly said commissioners would vote on the deal after hearings conclude and after they determine whether a "briefing schedule" is necessary. Unlike rate cases, he said, the regulators are not required to act on the proposed sale within a specific time.

Hat glaub nix mit dieser Aquila zu tun. Aber ich würde kaufen, billiger wird´s nimmer!

Charttechnisch einfach Sahne ,wenn der Kurs auch dahin wieder zurückfindet ,wo er hergekommen ist.

!!???

und warum hängt es da?

fast der gleiche Abwärtstrend! Ca. die Hälfte an Wert verloren! Bei MOLY MINES LTD ganz ähnlich, nur nicht so krass!!! Warum würde ich auch gerne wissen!! Vielleicht haben sich einige grosse Fonds aus dem Bereich Minen verabschiedet!? Nach dem TSI Muster des Aktionärs im Bereich der zehn stärksten Branchen, rutschten die Minengesellschaften im Herbst auf Platz 10 ab. Mittlerweile wieder auf die 4.
Noch jemand eine Idee???

Kennecott Eagle Minerals Company Receives Principal Permits Needed for U.P. Mine Project

          §

   MARQUETTE, Mich., Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Kennecott Eagle Minerals
Company today received state regulatory approval of the three principal
environmental permits needed to launch construction of the Eagle nickel and
copper mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) issued mine, air, and groundwater discharge
permits, following an extensive application review process that began in
February 2006.

   "This is good news not only for Kennecott, but also for job creation,
building a stronger economy, and providing additional opportunities for
area businesses to grow," said Eagle project general manager Jon Cherry.
"We are very pleased that our efforts over the last several years to work
with regulators and many parties in the community to develop a good,
environmentally responsible project have been realized. We look forward to
getting the project underway."

   Eagle's mine permit is the first issued by Michigan under its
2004-enacted nonferrous metallic mine law, considered among the most
protective in the U.S. The three permits issued today contain extensive and
specific compliance conditions consistent with requirements for ensuring
safeguard of the environment and ecosystems.

   Kennecott has designed Eagle for the smallest environmental footprint
possible. The mine will be completely underground, accessed through a
tunnel opening located in the same area where a water treatment plant, ore
loading equipment and other facilities will be contained to less than 100
acres. All above ground facilities will be removed once mining ends to
restore the area to its current conditions. The mine itself will be
backfilled as mining occurs to protect workers inside, and the earth's
surface. Ore will be processed off site.

   Construction and operation of the project will mean the making of more
than 500 new local jobs, including those directly connected with Eagle, and
others created as a result of the project's presence. The two-year mine
construction phase will get underway in 2008. Construction will trigger the
start of tax payments to local communities.

   The permit review process has included several series of public
hearings and comment periods. Cherry said the company would continue its
efforts to engage with residents as the project moves forward. "It's
important to us that we listen to and address people's concerns - that
responsibility continues."

   Separately, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources on December 6,
2007 recommended the State Natural Resources Commission approve two
additional project authorizations - Kennecott's plan for reclaiming the
site once mining ends, and a land surface use lease agreement for the area
where above-ground operations will take place.

   Kennecott Eagle Minerals Company is a member of Rio Tinto, one of the
world's leading mining companies, located in London. All Rio Tinto
subsidiary companies are committed to becoming ISO 14001:2004 certified.
The U.P. Eagle Project received its ISO 14001:2004 certification in 2005.

...Info kam ein bisschen spaet am Freitag, aber am Montag wird's wohl hier richtig abgehen...

zur Info:
Kennecott ist die Mine von Rio Tinto in Michigan, die nun diese Minengenehmigung erhalten hat.
Die Annahme, dass es in Michigan keine Minen genehmigt werden, hat Aquila (m.M.n.) so stark nachgeben
lassen, nun ist der Weg frei...

Schoenes WE

Mal schauen was RSR heut machen? Wollten sie ja bei guten News wieder ins Depot nehmen.
Bin mal gespannt....

So, hab noch mal nachgelegt...........

.....mal sehen ob´s bald losgeht.......

.....mal sehen ob´s überhaupt losgeht........

.....aber was soll dagegen sprechen wenn beim´ Nachbarn eine Genehmigung zum
     Abbau bzw. Minenbau erteilt wird, wieso sollte dann Aquila keine Genehmigung
     erhalten.

Kennt jemand evtl. Grpnde/Hintergründe für oder gegen eine Genehmigung?

Aquila Resources Inc.: Michigan Grants Mine Permit

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 17, 2007) - AQUILA RESOURCES INC. (TSX:AQA)(FRANKFURT:JM4A) ("Aquila" or the "Company") today commented on the favorable impact of a mine permit issued to Kennecott Eagle Minerals Company (Rio Tinto) for its Eagle Project located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The decision by the State of Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is the first issued under the new Part 632 legislation which governs the regulation and permitting of surface and underground non-ferrous metallic mines in the state. Part 632 legislation was unanimously passed by the Michigan legislature in 2004. Aquila's Back Forty Project is also located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Aquila's President, Tom Quigley, stated, "Aquila applauds the MDEQ for its comprehensive review and scientific analysis of the Eagle Project mine plan, including addressing public comments. This process, as required by Part 632 as well as other laws, enabled the State to reach technically and legally appropriate decisions to grant the mine permit. The process and decision issued last week, demonstrate the state's ability and sets precedence that would be used to evaluate future mine plans such as for Aquila's Back Forty Project."

Back Forty Baseline Studies

Part 632 provides a modern framework for environmentally sound development of a mineral resource such as the Back Forty Project, and Aquila Resources, in conjunction with its qualified consultants, have initiated baseline environmental monitoring of water, wetlands, air, plants, animals, and fisheries in the Back Forty Project area as a precedent to applying for a mining permit under the statute. Through its baseline environmental work Aquila continues to strive to achieve the high levels of scientific standards required by Part 632.

About Aquila

Aquila Resources Inc. is actively advancing the Back Forty Project located in Menominee County, Michigan. The Back Forty Project is focused on a volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit containing significant quantities of zinc, copper, gold and silver with a measured and indicated resource of 6.6 million tonnes and an inferred resource of an additional 1.75 million tonnes. Since this resource was calculated in April of 2007, an additional 107 holes totalling more than 20,000 meters have been drilled, and these results will be incorporated into an updated 43-101 compliant resource to be completed in 2008. SRK Consulting has been selected to perform the resource update, and preliminary modelling and other evaluations of the new Back Forty resource, including metallurgical studies and preliminary mine designing, have begun.

The updated resource, along with metallurgical test results and mine design, will form the basis for a preliminary economic assessment - also anticipated to be completed in 2008. In anticipation of these advanced studies, Aquila is increasing its interaction with the local community with stepped up public relations and outreach. It is the company's goal to inform and educate the local community about potential developments at the project, and to listen and consider community concerns and questions.

Additional information about Aquila and the Back Forty Project are available on the company's website at www.aquilaresources.com.

Rio Tinto investiert weitere 300 Mio. USD in das Kennecott Eagle Project, die Mine,
die am Freitag die Minengenehmigung in Michigan erhalten hat.

Zitat:
Rio Tinto to invest $300 million to develop Michigan Ni-Cu Mine

Rio Tinto said it's going to invest $300 million in the development of Eagle, a high-grade nickel and copper mine in Michigan.

Das sollte selbst die letzten Zweifler ueberzeugen, dass die Minengenehmigung
auch fuer Aquila nun kein (Kurs-UP-)Hindernis mehr ist.

Da bin ich ja mal gespannt ob es für die die teurer eingekauft haben und den Kursverlauf durchgehalten haben noch ein kleines Weihnachtsgeschenk im Kursverlauf gibt?

Fieldex Mining (WKN A0HND3) -60 % in 10 Wochen!


Die Liste würde sich fast ewig fortsetzen lassen und es gibt nur wenige Unternehmen, die nicht diese Prozentsätze verloren haben, oder gar zulegen konnten.

Was sind aber die Ursachen für diese Ausverkäufe – ist es wirklich nur das Tax-Selling, oder hat sich das fundamentale Umfeld massiv geändert???

Nun, diese Frage können wir seriöser Weise eigentlich nicht beantworten, aber viel wichtiger für uns ist doch, ob die Rahmendaten noch in Ordnung sind. Also wie schaut es mit den Rohstoffpreisen im Allgemeinen aus??


Da wäre einmal Gold!

Das Edelmetall notiert mit rund 800 US$ pro Unze, nur gut 5 % unter seinem Jahreshoch und „Allzeithoch“ von 845 /850 US$ – und die Aussichten sind weiterhin hervorragend. Kann dieser 5 %ige Rückgang für solchen Verluste ausreichen?? – Wir glauben sicher nicht, vor allem da Gold rund 60 % höher notiert als vor 2 Jahren!



Silber!
Silberpreis notiert bei rund 14 US$ pro Unze und damit gute 10 % unter seinem Jahreshoch von 15,50/16 US$ - Da Silber einen größeren Hebel als Gold besitzt, ist auch die Korrektur absolut normal. Das Edelmetall notiert aber um gut 70 % über den Preisen von vor 2 Jahren



Kupfer!

Bei den Basismetallen wie Kupfer, gab es sehr wohl eine Korrektur. Kupfer notiert derzeit bei rund 2,85 US$ pro Pfund. Den Höchststand notiert das Metall bei rund 3,80 / 3,90 US$. Aber auch Kupfer notiert noch immer am oberen Preisband und deutlich über den Preisen von vor 2 Jahren.



Nickel & Zink!

Beide Metalle haben am deutlichsten konsolidiert, sind aber auch in der Spitze am stärksten gelaufen (Nickel rund 400 % Preisanstieg und Zink rund 300 %). Aber auch diese Metalle notieren noch deutlich über dem Niveau von vor 2/2,5 Jahre.



Uran!
Uran ist eigentlich die interessanteste Story – hier notiert das Metall zwar gut 35 % unter dem Höchststand vom Juli, jedoch noch immer auf demselben Niveau wie im März/April, was damals der stärkste Kursanstieg bei den Uranexplorern war. Jetzt, wo wir auf demselben Niveau sind, notieren die meisten Uranexplorer, aber auch Produzenten, deutlich tiefer. Mache Explorer haben 50, 60 oder mehr Prozente verloren. Da der Markt aber so eingeschränkt ist, bestehen hier die interessantesten Chancen!



Also nach meiner Einschätzung, kommt dieser Rückgang der Explorer und Rohstoffaktien nicht vom Kursrückgang bei den Rohstoffpreisen und schon gar nicht bei Gold oder Silber, die nahe ihrer Jahreshochstände notieren. Alle Metalle notieren auf einem Niveau, das den Unternehmen ermöglicht, einen erfolgreichen Minenbetrieb zu errichten bzw. bankfähige Studien zu erarbeiten, um die Projekte zu finanzieren bzw. zu verkaufen.



Das zweite wichtige Thema ist die Finanzierung!

Ist es dem Unternehmen nicht mehr möglich, sich rechtzeitig über ein Privat Placement zu finanzieren, dann besteht akute Gefahr, dass die Projekte nicht mehr vorangetrieben werden können und das würde gleichzeitig den Stillstand des Unternehmens bedeuten.


Derzeit können wir aber auch auf dieser Front Entwarnung geben. Uns ist von keinem Unternehmen bekannt, dass es akute Schwierigkeiten hat, sich zu finanzieren. Keiner der Firmen ist mit dem Ausgabepreis der Aktien zufrieden, aber jeder könnte sich, wenn er will finanzieren. Hier könnte auch eine mögliche Ursache des Kursrückganges liegen.


Was könnten nun aber Gründe für einen so dramatischen Kursrückgang sein??



Konjunkturschwäche?

Ein Grund könnte darin liegen, dass viele Investoren gerade im aktuellen Umfeld mit einer Rezession in den USA usw. rechnen. Dies könnte zu einem massiven Nachfragerückgang bei den Metallen führen und damit würde es natürlich auch logisch sein, dass die Investoren. Explorations- und Rohstoffproduzenten jetzt verkaufen.



Dieses Argument ist sicher nachvollziehbar, jedoch darf man auch nicht vergessen, dass die FED und alle anderen Notenbanken alles tun werden um dies zu verhindern. Sie überschütten den Markt derzeit gerade mit Geld und das führt wiederum zu steigender Inflation, die vor allem den Edelmetallen hilft!



Auch Uran steht hier außen vor, denn durch die bestehenden Kernkraftwerke wird bereits jetzt pro Jahr deutlich mehr verbraucht, als produziert und daher sind weitere Minen in den nächsten Jahren zwingend notwendig. Überhaupt im Hinblick darauf, dass man die Abhängigkeit von Öl reduzieren möchte.



Die restlichen Metalle wie Kupfer, Zink, Blei usw. haben korrigiert, jedoch notieren alle noch auf Preisen, die es einem Unternehmen ermöglicht vernünftige bis teilweise sehr gute Margin im Bergbau zu erwirtschaften.



Risiko Finanzierung!

Hier sprechen wir von einem anderen Risiko, als oben erwähnt. Viele institutionelle Marktteilnehmer haben sich auf Privat Placements spezialisiert. Dazu muss man wissen, dass PP (Privat Placements) in der Regel unter dem aktuellen Aktienkurs durchgeführt werden. Wenn nun Investoren merken, dass ein Unternehmen kurz vor einer weiteren Finanzierung steht, drücken diese den Kurs im Vorfeld, um noch billiger an die Aktie zu kommen. Das Positive daran ist für sie, dass sie die Aktien bereits im Vorfeld zu einem besseren Preis verkauft haben, also eigentlich Short sind und sich dann beim PP nur mehr rück decken. Dass diese Methode nicht neu ist, konnten wir bei vielen PP´s in diesem Jahr verfolgen!



Short-Händler!

Auch in Deutschland wird Shorttrading, also Aktieverkauf ohne dass man die Aktie besitzt, mit der Spekulationsabsicht, dass man sie später wieder billiger zurückkaufen kann, immer beliebter. Dieses Geschäft funktioniert vor allem in Märkten wie diesem, also bei fallenden Kursen, wo quasi derzeit ein „Käuferstreik“ stattfindet. Dieses „böse“ Spiel wird vor allem in Deutschland und Nordamerika praktiziert!



Tax-Selling!

Vom Tax-Selling haben wir in den letzten Wochen schon mehrmals berichtet. Diese Anomalie tritt jedes Jahr auf, jedoch heuer ist diese durch das extrem gute erste Halbjahr besonders ausgeprägt. Doch diesen Feiertag laufen die Tax-Selling Verkäufe endgültig aus. 30 Tage später können dann dieselben Aktien wieder zurückgekauft werden. Aber bei den billigen Kursen kann ich mir vorstellen, dass viele nordamerikanische Investoren bei anderen billigeren Aktien zuschlagen werden.



Tax-Selling ist auch ein Grund warum die Shortverkäufer so stark am Markt tätig sind, das heißt ab nächster Woche werden die Shorthändler wieder deutlich vorsichtiger agieren, da die regelmäßigen Verkäufe von den Tax-Sellern beendet sind.



Wenige Unternehmensmeldungen – die besten werden derzeit zurückgehalten!



Viele Unternehmen, gerade aus der Explorationsbranche, sehen dass sich der Markt derzeit in einer Art „Käuferstreik“ befindet, daher versuchen viele ihre besten Unternehmensmeldungen nach hinten zu verschieben, denn sie wissen, dass auch die besten Meldungen im günstigsten Fall, nur kurzfristig eine positive Reaktion bringen. Natürlich kann man dies nicht endlos nach hinten verschieben, daher erwarte ich vor allem im Jänner, vor der Vancouver Rohstoffkonferenz (20. -21. Jänner) einen massiven Anstieg der Pressemeldungen.



Denn: Aktienkurse können nur durch positive Unternehmensmeldungen angetrieben werden.



Fazit: Was heißt das für uns???



Im Allgemeinen kann gesagt werden, dass das Umfeld für Rohstoff- und Explorationsunternehmen nach wie vor voll intakt ist. Sowohl die Rohstoffpreise sind hoch genug um eine erfolgreiche Exploration zu gewährleisten, als auch die Finanzierung ist gesichert!



Das Umfeld wird derzeit von schlechter Stimmung, Tax-Selling, Shorties usw. bestimmt. Dieses Umfeld könnte sich aber bald drehen, denn langfristig kann es durch die guten Ergebnisse eigentlich nur nach oben gehen.



Eigentlich ist es schon ein Wahnsinn, dass trotz guter Meldungen manche Explorer 60, 70 ja viele sogar 80 % oder mehr unter ihren Höchstkursen liegen. Sie finden jetzt viele Werte auf Schnäppchenniveau – teilweise notieren sie auf ihrem Cashniveau und die Projekte werden eigentlich überhaupt nicht mehr bewertet.



Viele erwarten jetzt vielleicht Einzelempfehlungen, jedoch ist das aufgrund der Vielzahl der billigen Aktien gar nicht mehr möglich. Die einzige Alternative die ich Ihnen mit ruhigem Gewissen empfehlen kann, ist das First Junior Zertifikat (WKN LS1JEX), bei dem ich selber Berater bin. Derzeit sind wir in über 40 Titel investiert, die auch teilweise massiv Land unter sind. Wir werden unsere Cashposition nützen um verschieden Positionen aufzustocken oder neu aufzubauen, denn ich glaube nach wie vor, dass die Rohstoffwerte im nächsten Jahr vor einem großen Comeback stehen!!!


Wir haben mit diesem First Junior Zertifikat (WKN LS1JEX) fast die gleiche Entwicklung wie der TSX-V Index – Wer also an den Rohstoffzyklus glaubt, der findet hier eine interessante Investmentmöglichkeit!



Kurs auf!



Ihr

uebertrieben. Die Minengegner sind beleidigt, dass das Department die Genehmigung
erteilt hat und nun suchen sie halt in den Krümeln...voellig normal.
Selbst wenn an den Vorwürfen was dran sein sollte, dann heisst das doch nur, dass
die Auflagen seitens Kenencott nicht erfüllt wurden/würden.

Das wichtige für Aquila ist doch m.M.n., dass es unter Einhaltung aller Auflagen
GRUNDSÄTZLICH möglich ist, die Genehmigung für eine Mine in Michigan zu erhalten,
was ja hier lange Zeit bezweifelt wurde.

Michigan DEQ Sued for Issuing Illegal Permits

December 26 2007 Comments Print Friendly Page
photo of yellow dog plains

Last week, opponents of a proposed sulfide mine near Marquette in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula announced that they are suing the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for issuing an illegal permit. The National Wildlife Federation, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, Huron Mountain Club, and Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve filed a contested case petition and a lawsuit against MDEQ on Friday. In a press release, National Wildlife Federation attorney Michelle Halley stated:

   “The opponents of the mine have presented MDEQ with over 1000 pages of unequivocal evidence that Kennecott’s proposed sulfide mine does not meet the state’s legal requirements and would result in profound pollution, impairment, and destruction of air, water and other natural resources… The MDEQ has issued permits that are based upon defective, inadequate and incomplete applications and are therefore illegal.”

The case will give opponents another opportunity to argue that the mine’s construction will result in pollution and environmental harm due both to the inherent dangers of sulfide mining as well as specific flaws in the design of the mine.

Since approval was granted for the mine on the 14th, the mining corporation Rio Tinto has announced that it intends to open an additional six mines in the Upper Peninsula. Consequently, opponents of the Eagle Project mine are warning that it is absolutely essential that the first permit set a precedent for strict adherence to the law. Halley asserted that “Setting a precedent that starts with defective, incomplete, inaccurate applications and ends with a dangerous new mine is not in the best interest of the people of Michigan, nor its environment.”

- Update resource calculation. An updated resource will be completed during the second or third quarter of 2008. The resource will incorporate drill holes completed since May, 2007 (115 to date) as well as drill holes planned for early 2008. Significant expansion of the existing resource has occurred in several key areas including the Pinwheel, South Limb, and 90 Gold Zone. SRK Consulting has been retained to complete the NI 43-101 updated resource calculation.

- Completion of a NI 43-101 compliant preliminary assessment (scoping study). In order to evaluate the economic potential of the updated resource, Aquila intends to engage independent third party consulting engineers to complete preliminary mine and processing plans in order to assess the preliminary economic parameters of the project.

- Advancement of metallurgical test work program. Metallurgical test work is well underway for massive sulfide ore types as well as oxide (gossan), 90 Gold Zone and PM Zone gold ores. The Company anticipates that preliminary results will be ready for release during the first quarter of 2008.

- Progression of environmental baseline studies. Studies monitoring baseline water, air, flora, fauna, and cultural resources are currently being completed by independent consulting firms and will continue through 2008.

- Community outreach. The Company will continue its community outreach program with the normal regularly scheduled meetings in the local township, as well as an expanded meeting venue throughout broader Menominee County.

 These drill results are from two fans of holes oriented nearly east west, designed to intercept the westerly dipping Pinwheel and related stratigraphy at 20 to 30 meter spacing between holes, with individual fans spaced 30 meters apart, representing approximately 90 meters of expansion of the Pinwheel Zone along strike and greater than 125 meters down dip.

The extension of Pinwheel hole LK-206PE to depth encountered massive sulfide mineralization at 306 meters - an apparent up dip extension of the Main Zone South Limb. Five follow up holes have been drilled to date with results pending, to further define this area of potential South Limb expansion. Significant gold values (2.68 g/t) as well as zinc (10%) are associated with this developing horizon.

Hoffentlich bringen die restlichen Bohrlöcher genauso gute Ergebnisse wie die jetzigen.
Wird bestimmt noch ein sehr interessanter Januar.:-))

.....wäre die Sache noch viel interessanter..... :-(

Aquila ist doch AFAIK noch gar nicht soweit, dass Genehmigungen faellig werden, oder?
Die Frage war doch, ob es ueberhaupt Genehmigungen in Michigan fuer neue Minen
gibt bzw. geben wird. Kennecott hat eine gekriegt, auch wenn die Minengegner
derzeit dort Kennecott und der Behörde die Hölle heiss machen (wollen).
Die Minengegner sind offenbar der Ansicht, dass die Umweltverschmutzung durch
die Behördenauflagen nicht genug ausgeschlossen werden.

OK, ueber Umweltauflagen zu diskutieren macht hier wenig Sinn, weil lediglich
der Umstand zaehlt, dass

BEI EINHALTUNG DER UMWELTAUFLAGEN MINENGENEHMIGUNGEN IN MICHIGAN ERTEILT werden!

Hab ich was vergessen?

 90 Gold Zone

The 90 Gold Zone is associated with the shallow updip portion of tuffaceous sediments and chloritic tuffs, also associated with the Tuff Zone massive sulfide. Further drilling is planned to expand the extent of these zones along strike and to depth. This sequence of sediments is also associated with the Tuff Zone massive sulfide, and deeper drilling along this horizon will be required to test for the presence of this zone.

PM Zone

Drilling at the PM Zone continues to intercept significant mineralization associated with the central porphyry intrusion. Significant silver values continue to be intersected in the PM Zone. More drilling is planned to continue definition of this precious metal rich horizon.

East Zone

The massive sulfide intercepts in LK-214 and LK-217 represent the first known extension of the East Zone massive sulfide south of the porphyry, and although follow up drilling to the east failed to intercept extensions, it remains open to the west. Expansion in this direction could result in eventual continuity with the South Limb massive sulfide.

Asenjo Energy appoints Geosearch Botswana as drilling contractor
By: Olivia Spadavecchia
Published: 24 Jan 08 - 9:50
Asenjo Energy, the joint venture (JV) between Aquila Resources, Jonah Capital and Sentula Mining, said on Wednesday that it had awarded the drilling contract on its Botswana tenements to Geosearch Botswana.  

Drilling at the Dukwe prospect began on January 15, while the drilling at the Mmamabula West project was expected to start as soon as access to the site was cleared.

The contract was for over 300 boreholes, totaling about 3 0000 m of drilling, and would take place in the Mmamabula West, Dukwe, and Lechana/Tshimoyapula areas in Botswana. The three areas cover a nearly 5 000 km2.

"The competitive tender was sent out to a number of major drilling contractors at the end of 2007. We believe that with over twenty five years of drilling experience in Africa, Geosearch International is best placed to help us speed up the evaluation process of our coal resources," Asenjo COO Malcolm Campbell commented.

This southern African energy JV was formed in September to accelerate the evaluation and development of significant coal resources in Botswana and to progress plans to construct related power generation facilities in the region.

New Near Surface Gold Mineralization

LK-220 targeted an undrilled region of the main fold hinge south of the Pinwheel massive sulfide and intersected a shallow massive sulfide interpreted to be an outlier of the Pinwheel Zone, underlain by gold bearing altered and oxidized rhyolite tuff representing another new, near surface gold occurrence at the project. Follow up drilling to assess the relationship of this intercept with the nearby Pinwheel gossan and massive sulfide is underway. "New intercepts like this are expected to add significantly to the growing gold and silver inventory at the Back Forty Project," stated Tom Quigley, Aquila's President.

Main Zone South Limb Expansion

Three drill holes (LK-210, -212, -215) targeted the South Limb of the Main Zone massive sulfide along section 435050E, extending and further defining massive sulfide in this area. Significant gold and silver mineralization was also encountered in these holes in overlying chloritic tuffs, siliceous sediments and along the central porphyry margin (PM Zone).

Drill holes LK-222, -227, -232, -237, and -241 were step outs from two previously reported intercepts (LK-202PE - 13 meters of 8.7% zinc and LK-206PE - 7.7 meters of 10% zinc) in a new area of South Limb massive sulfide mineralization. These step out holes successfully intercepted base and precious metal mineralization related to the South Limb and peripheral host rocks and significantly expand the South Limb and related gold mineralization into this area.

Main Zone Hinge

At the western extent of the Hinge zone, where it appears to be thinning, LK-203 extended the Hinge zone to the north by an additional 25 meters beyond previous intercepts. LK-204, drilled to the north of LK-203, returned no significant values, closing off the north limb of the Hinge on this section.

Ongoing Drilling

Drilling at the Back Forty project continues to intersect widespread zinc, copper, gold and sliver mineralization, and the focus of ongoing drilling in 2008 will be directed at providing information required for computing an updated 43-101 mineral resource estimate, which will include not only the expanded massive sulfide and stringer mineralization, but will also include a distinct gold and silver component.

DNR recommends approving Kennecott mine

LANSING -- A company that wants to operate a nickel and copper mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula may soon get a final answer from a state agency.

Department of Natural Resources Director Rebecca Humphries is expected to announce Feb. 7 whether she will approve Kennecott Minerals Co.'s plan for the mine in western Marquette County.

The DNR is considering whether to lease public land for the mine's aboveground operations and whether its plans meet state standards.

After Humphries postponed a decision last month, the company has provided more information and made some changes. DNR staffers are recommending approval.

The Department of Environmental Quality has already granted permits for the mine. Opponents have filed a lawsuit to block them.

The land surface use agreement covers a 120-acre area of state-owned land where aboveground facilities and equipment will be built to service mine operations, along with the portal to the underground deposit. Approval of the reclamation plan provides additional regulatory agency oversight of Kennecott's activities related to removing facilities and returning the land to pre-mining conditions once mining operations have concluded. The MDEQ also has oversight of post-mining activities at the site.

The Eagle project will provide a significant boost to the region's economy over the next decade. Kennecott officials have said the company has additional exploration activities underway that could potentially extend the role mining plays in the economy for many years to come. Kennecott's production of minerals from the underground ore body at Eagle could generate a royalty of up to $50 million to the state's Natural Resources Trust Fund, based on commodity prices for nickel and copper. The NRTF secures revenues and royalties from nonrenewable resource development -- oil, gas, and minerals -- and is used by the state to purchase new recreational lands for public use. At the local level, area school districts will be among the primary beneficiaries of the project's economic infusion, with property tax payments based on the fair market value of the mine.

DNR says yes to Kennecott
The controversial mine gets the go-ahead.
KennecottMinerals

Posted: Thursday, February 07, 2008 at 6:43 p.m.

LANSING -- Kennecott Minerals has cleared another hurdle in its efforts to build a controversial nickel and copper mine on the Yellow Dog Plains of Marquette County.

Rebecca Humphries, the director of Michigan's Department of Natural Resources, late Thursday approved using 120 acres of state land for the surface facilities of the mine.

She also signed off on the mine's reclamation plan at Thursday's Natural Resources Commission.

The mine still needs a permit approved by the federal Environmental Protection Agency, but Kennecott officials don't expect that to be a problem.

What could be more problematic for Kennecott is an attempt in court by opponents of the mine to stop the construction. Opponents claim the mine could damage the fragile environment of the Yellow Dog Plains.

"It is unfortunate that the DNR has forgotten the premise for which it was formed--to protect and conserve our natrual resources for use by the public," said Cynthia Pryor of the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve. "This decision turns state forest lands into an industrial outlot and our region into a paradise lost."

Kennecott has said it plans to invest about 300 million dollars in the development of the mine. It's hoping to start to construction early this year, and begin production in 2009.

 PINWHEEL MASSIVE SULFIDE EXPANSION

These latest drill results have successfully extended the southwest trending Pinwheel massive sulfides 115 meters from the last set of Pinwheel holes released on January 8, 2008. Large copper-rich massive sulfide intercepts, such as 103 meters of 0.72% copper in LK-230PE, significantly expand previously defined Pinwheel mineralization. Along with expanding copper mineralization, intercepts such as that encountered in LK-231PE with 9 meters of 7.72% zinc and 3.2 meters of 6.75% zinc in LK-240PE should increase the overall zinc grade of the Pinwheel Zone. Five more drill holes testing further southwest extension of this zone have been completed and are expected later in February. A map showing the latest drill holes, zone expansions and general information about Aquila and the exciting Back Forty Project are available on the company's website at www.aquilaresources.com.

Continued drilling at the project is directed at defining mineralization for inclusion in a new NI 43-101 resource later in 2008, and is focusing on delineation of gold and silver mineralization not included in the last resource, as well as expansion of the existing sulfide zones.

 90 GOLD ZONE EXPANSION

A total of 52 holes have now intersected the 90 Gold Zone at 10 to 25 meter spacing to define an envelope of mineralization partially overlapping the Tuff Zone massive sulfide and extending outward from it to the surface. "We are hopeful that this gold and silver mineralization can be included in the upcoming NI 43-101 resource estimate expected later this year," stated Tom Quigley, Aquila's president. "The continuity and grade of this precious metal zone is quite impressive, and these latest results highlight the widespread gold and silver mineralization associated with the Back Forty mineralized system."

PREPARATION FOR RESOURCE UPDATE

An additional seven holes are pending from the 90 Gold Zone, and approximately 16 holes are pending from the Pinwheel extension and South Limb massive sulfides, and a newly discovered near surface gold zone located between the 90 Gold Zone and the Pinwheel massive sulfide zone. Three drills continue to operate at the project focused on resource definition and expansion.

Metallurgical test work is also progressing, and a preliminary description of these results is expected in the near future. Ongoing test work includes both open circuit and locked cycle flotation tests on sulfide ores, leach and gravity tests on gold and silver ores, and characterization of concentrates and tailings.

A NI 43-101 preliminary assessment (scoping study) is planned following completion of the updated resource calculation.

A plan view map of the 90 Gold Zone drill holes is posted on the company's website at www.aquilaresources.com.

Sample preparation and analyses for this release were conducted by Accurassay Labs in Thunder Bay, Ontario on split drill core supplied by Aquila.

 Intercepts tabulated above include down dip extensions of South Limb mineralization, extensions of the South Limb towards the fold hinge (New South Limb), as well as westward, down plunge extensions of the Hinge area of the Main zone. Gold mineralization associated with the central porphyry - the PM Gold zone - was also encountered in LK-255. A map showing locations of the drill holes and extensions of the mineralized zones is available on the Company's website listed below.

Pending Drill Hole Results

The South Limb massive sulfide remains open down plunge and drilling is continuing to explore this direction with results from seven holes pending. An additional 16 holes are pending from expansion of the Pinwheel to the southwest and northeast, and five holes are pending from step outs of the Tuff Zone massive sulfide.

Results from an additional five holes remain to be reported from the 90 Gold Zone, and a series of five holes was also recently completed on the East Zone to fully define this important near surface gold rich gossan and massive sulfide.

Fourteen holes have also been drilled to follow up on near surface gold mineralization previously reported (Press Release January 29, 2008), which included 11.24 meters of 5.67 g/t gold, thought to be a potential new zone of precious metal mineral mineralization located between the Pinwheel massive sulfide and gossan and the 90 Gold Zone.

So ein Trauerspiel , da kann man wirklich bloß noch verkaufen und sein Geld auf´s Festgeldkonto tun

Carbon steel resources producer and developer Aquila Resources Ltd said it can deliver a 25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) iron ore operation at its West Pilbara project.

Aquila's pre-feasibility study for the first stage of the project has examined port options, infrastructure at proposed mine areas and development of mine-to-port transport corridors.

The study confirms the technical and financial viability of 160 kilometres of new railway to a new open-access, deep-water port facility at Cape Preston, subject to commercial agreement with other parties with interests in the port, Aquila said.

About $US1.7 billion ($A1.79 billion) of the estimated capital expenditure will be incurred on the railway, ore wharf and channel.

The company said the project is capable of producing 30Mtpa in its first stage with a marginal increase in capital expenditure.

Construction of the first stage could commence in early 2010 with first shipments in 2012.

A definitive feasibility study is due to be completed in the second quarter of 2009.

hast du vielleicht auch die quelle zu diesen posting?
bin auch drinn würde mich gern mal durchlesen aber auf der homepage hab ich noch nichts neues gesehen.

Danke im vorraus

news.smh.com.au/...udy-for-aquila-resources/20080506-2bb1.html

hört sich doch erstmal interessant an. mal schauen wie es weiter geht.

danke für die info Memory1931

es vielleicht sein das ihr von einer anderen Aquila redet  ...A0DLB2???

hast wohl recht, hab mich auch schon gewundert. da es ja mit pfs erst april 2008 losgehen sollte. dachte wären erste infos, wobei man eigentlich keine vor der fertig stellung der pfs bekommt :-( egal kann nur besser werden

w w w finanznachrichten d e folgende Nummer in die Suchfunktion
eingegeben: ISIN CA03841G1019 das ist von unserer Aquila die WKN: A0JMCL

Gruß

Andreas

will ich gar nicht in frage stellen, doch die pfs wird erst in angriff genommen.

erstmal kommt die Scoping Study, wie man in den news vom 3 Jan. 2008 zu

entnehmen ist. Das deckt sich auch ungefähr mit den zeitplan den ich bei w:o gesehen

habe.

falls es ein interessiert hier ist der link:

www.wallstreet-online.de/diskussion/...y-ehemals-jml-resources

wie es aussieht abeiten sie bei aquila genau nach zeitplan, das schafft auf jedenfall

vertrauen. wie es aussieht geht es wohl bald in die heiße fasse bei aquila.

The new NS Gold Zone has now been encountered in a total of 7 holes over a strike length of greater than 200 meters. It lies between the Pinwheel gossan and the 90 Gold Zone in sheared and altered rhyolites and may represent an extension of Porphyry margin gold mineralization to the surface, although further drilling will be required to confirm this.

"We are hoping the continuity of this new zone of gold and silver mineralization holds together and will constitute yet another style of precious metal mineralization to potentially add to the resource," stated Aquila's senior geologist Bob Mahin. "The proximity of this zone to the 90 Gold Zone and the Pinwheel gossan makes it a very attractive target from a mining perspective."

Several holes also encountered porphyry margin gold mineralization (PM Gold Zone) massive sulfides associated with the Main Zone (hinge) as well as several zones of semi massive sulfides of unknown affinity. A map showing the location of the holes in this press release as well as the principle mineralized zones is available on the Company's website at www.aquilaresources.com.

Other Project Activities

Preparations for a new resource estimate expected later this summer are progressing on schedule, and metallurgical test work on sulfide ores as well as gold and silver mineralization is nearing completion, as is a preliminary processing flowsheet for Back Forty ores. As the new resource takes shape, preliminary mine design, environmental baseline studies, and other engineering activities will be undertaken as a part of scoping/prefeasibility studies planned for later in 2008 and 2009.

"Our goal is to stay on track advancing the project towards permitting in late 2009 or 2010", stated Tom Quigley Aquila's president. "We are expanding our team of environmental and engineering professionals to assist the Aquila geological staff to work towards project feasibility, including permit applications."

Additional information about the Company's Back Forty Project is available on the Company's website at www.aquilaresources.com.

Hier noch der aktuelle Bericht von RsR:

Sehr geehrte Leser!


Nachdem heute unser ehemaliger Depotwert Aquila Resources (WKN A0JMCL) wieder einmal mit sehr ordentlichen Bohrresultaten auf seinem Back Forty-Projekt aufhorchen lies, wollen wir Ihnen diese nicht vorenthalten. Aquila meldete die Entdeckung einer neuen Goldzone, die man NS Gold Zone nennt (NS für „Near Surface“). Diese Zone liegt zwischen den etablierten Ressourcenzonen PM Gold und 90 Gold Zone.

Noch in diesem Sommer werden die heute gemeldeten Ergebnisse, sowie insgesamt 170 Bohrlöcher in eine neue, NI 43-101-konforme Ressourcenschätzung einfließen.

Heute wurden unter anderem 6,9 Meter mit 7,11 g/t Gold, 16,5 Meter mit 6,6 g/t Gold und 21 Meter mit 2,2 g/t Gold in dieser neuen Goldzone veröffentlicht.

Die Aktie von Aquila ist leider rückwirkend betrachtet ein Trauerspiel, da Investoren zwar durchaus die Qualität des Projektes schätzen, aber wohl nicht recht an eine Minengenehmigung glauben.

Genau dies will man jedoch bei Aquila jetzt angehen, wie Präsident Tom Quigley heute auch in der unten angefügte Pressemitteilung den Investoren mitteilt. Wer in diesem „gefallenen Engel“ noch investiert ist, sollte es bleiben!

.....wenn die endlich mal Nägel mit Köpfen machen..........

...denn so langsam nervt dieses große rote Minus............ 

 

geht´s ja hier ab? Weiß jemand was?

- 0.71 meters of 5.93 g/t gold and 3,072.0 g/t silver

METALLURGICAL RESULTS FROM BACK FORTY PROJECT
AQUILA RESOURCES INC. (TSX:AQA – Frankfurt:JM4A) (“Aquila” or the “Company”) today
announced positive results from an extensive metallurgical testing program for all major mineralized
zones at its Back Forty project in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The results show the viability of
standard beneficiation processes and production of quality concentrates, as well as significant recovery of
precious metals. The evaluation work summarized below has been performed by G&T Metallurgical
Services of Kamloops BC and the Company’s metallurgical consultant Alfredo Vargas.
Results demonstrate that flotation testwork produces marketable concentrates of copper, zinc, and lead,
with associated gold and silver reporting to the copper and lead circuits. Precious metal ores with
negligible copper, lead and zinc show excellent gold, and variable silver recovery through a combination
of gravity and hydrometallurgical extraction.
Average metal recoveries and concentrate grades for different ore zones are shown below.

für alle die sich beim warten die zeit mit lesen vertreiben möchten, hat aquila ein update der presantation fertig geamacht. alles einzusehen unter: aquilaresources.com oder hier unter: www.aquilaresources.com/AQAJul08.pdf

viel spaß beim lesen und nur geduld;-)

0,275 = neues Allzeit-Tief. Was sollen also diese nichtssagenden Presseverlautbarungen? Was ist deren Bedeutung?

Vielleicht finde ich mehr Mineralstoffe als die wenn ich meinen Garten umgrabe!

merkt denn hier niemand, dass die Explorerblase - nicht nur bei Aquila - am Platzen ist?

Woanders schrieb ich heute, dass offenbar z.Zt. alle Zittrigen rausgehen, und zwar im Scharen.
Das hat seinen Grund!

jetzt wo alles unten ist, wissen wir das selber.

auch so ein Tip von RSR ...

Aber schaut Euch den Explorer-Markt und überhaupt die Minen mal an,
alle dick im Minus...die Zittrigen steigen aus, die Dummschwätzer hier
im Forum, jeder weiss wohl, wer gemeint ist, posaunen den Totalausfall!
Schaut Euch die Unternehmen an,die Ihr gekauft habt+prüft die News,
ob sie fundamental wirklich eine Änderung erfahren haben...zum Grossteil: NEIN! Es hat sich nix geändert,lediglich wurde Risiko=Explorer gemieden.
Wie sagte W.Buffet: Kauft Aktien,wenn sich niemand für diese interessiert!
Und der beste Spruch war: Der dümmste Grund,eine Aktie zu kaufen,
ist,wenn sie steigt! Schönes WE!

an dem Unternehmen hat sich nix geändert. Bohrergebnisse könnten auch fast nicht besser sein. Bloß an dem Preis mit dem du dich beteiligen kannst, hat sich was geändert.Ob die  die bei 1 Euro oder höher eingestiegen sind auch noch so positiv denken wie du bezweifle ich. Auch das wir so schnell wieder 1,00€ sehen, und da können noch so viel Analysten ihre Prognosen von 2,85 CAD abgeben. Aber kannst Sie ja mal fragen ob sie deine Anteile für 2,85 abkaufen.;-)

 Holes listed above include a 125 meter down dip step out of the South Limb in LK-291, as well as a 30 meter up-dip step out in LK-307. The holes also included intercepts of the NS Gold Zone, the PM Gold Zone, as well as other peripheral zones of precious metal and zinc mineralization.

As of March 2007 the South Limb and Hinge massive sulfides had a measured and indicated resource of 4 million tonnes grading 1.83 g/t gold, 18.59 g/t silver, 6.58% zinc, 0.25% copper, and these intercepts represent an important extension of those zones.

Drilling at the Back Forty Project currently consists of one drill rig focusing on the Deep Zone massive sulfide, and assay results from several holes targeting the East Zone massive sulfide, near surface definition of the Porphyry Margin Gold Zone, as well as strike extensions of the Pinwheel Zone are still pending.

Although the resource remains open to expansion and numerous other targets remain to be tested, the Company is temporarily slowing down its drill program at the Back Forty Project in order to focus on establishing a new NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource to form the basis for mine planning and scoping work required for a preliminary economic assessment. "We feel that our drilling over the past year and a half has resulted in significant expansion of the March 2007 resource zones, as well as definition of previously undefined gold zones, and that it is important to quantify these expansions and incorporate them into an economic framework," stated Tom Quigley, Aquila's President. Work continues to advance the updated 43-101 compliant resource estimate expected later this summer, and initial engineering studies related to mine planning and plant design have been implemented.

....hab jetzt noch mal ne Kauf-Order bei 0,25 € abgegeben.......

....mal sehen wann´s / ob´s passiert......  :-)

meine steht bei 0,198, vorausgestzt das Volumen zieht an!

Wie was 0,198?

abwarten! die sehen wir bestimmt!

....heute wurde meine Order bei 0,25 ausgeführt......

auf die Minengenehmigung..... :-)

 

ich rechne die kommt erst im Herbst! bis dann vergeht noch viel Zeit! Wobei wenn man bedenkt hier sind noch Leute ober 1€ invistiert! Dank RsR!
Man wird hier noch einen sehr langen Atem brauchen, aber natürlich ist Aquilia immer für einen Zock gut!  

....denen die einen langen Atem brauchen (1,04 €), aber für´n Zock ist mein Durchschnittskurs auch noch nix...... :-(

Gruß

 

ich war in Aquilia auch invistiert (glücklicherweise beim Hype) habe dafür aber auch 2 Depotleichen (Vg Gold und Commerce Ressource) bei Commerce und Aquillia braucht man einfach unmenge von Geduld 2-3 Jahre noch bis zur Produktion, aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sie produzieren ist groß.
Darum beobachte ich den Wert immer noch! und wünsche Dir natürlich auch, dass Du deinen Durchschnittkurs von oben wieder siehst!

....noch mein geringstes Problem.......der Sache sehe ich "noch" positiv gegenüber......

Sagt Dir UPDA und Northern Rock etwas.......... :-(

 

Ihr tut mir leid...
Wer außer Dummköpfen (Zitat Kostolanyi) kauft in einem derartigen Abwärtstrend?
Ich habe Aquila auf der Watchlist, aber wir gesagt nur dort. Denn solang der Abwärtstrend intakt ist, lass ich die Finger weg.

Er sagte aber auch, dass es der dümmste Grund ist eine Aktie zu kaufen, weil sie steigt!

Ich habe sie und behalte sie. Am Grund sie zu kaufen hat sich nichts geändert.  

aktueller Kurs 0,190 immer noch abwarten ist angesagt!

...das es mal so weit runter geht........

(i) Drilled thickness, true thickness unknown
(ii) PM equals Porphyry Margin Gold Zone, NS equals NS Gold Zone

 The PM Gold Zone is a significant gold and silver enrichment along a late quartz-feldspar intrusive dike, and remains open to expansion in all directions. The newly discovered NS Gold Zone is hosted in strongly altered and sheared rhyolites at the surface.

Results reported above include important, near surface extensions of previously defined porphyry margin gold mineralization. LK-324, 325, and 326 are a series of overcuts of a previously released PM intercept in LK-149, which assayed 11.8m of 10.9 g/t gold. LK-326, the largest of these step outs returned 12m of 2.3 g/t gold as well as 1.5m 7.7 g/t silver and is an approximate 100m overcut of LK-149. LK-329 and LK-332 are 25m and 75m, respectively, east step outs from this series of holes all targeting near surface extensions of previously reported PM Zone gold mineralization. A schematic diagram showing some of these intercepts, as well as a plan map showing drill hole locations is available on the company's website.

As well as important porphyry margin intercepts, these drill holes also intersected near surface gold and zinc mineralization in altered rhyolites, sulfide stringers, and massive sulfides adjacent to the PM zone. Infill sampling in LK-145P of strongly altered and sheared rhyolites, typical of the host rock to the near surface (NS) gold zone, returned impressive gold values of 8.4m of 6.9 g/t gold including 2.5m of 15.2 g/t gold.

Sample preparation and analyses for this release were conducted by Accurassay Labs in Thunder Bay, Ontario or ACT Labs in Thunder Bay, Ontario on split drill core supplied by Aquila. Standards were inserted in the sample sequences with check assays and re-run's routinely conducted.

 Aquila Extends Gold, Silver, Copper, Zinc Zone 540 Meters and Moves to Conserve Cash
Highlights include 3.5 meters 9.4 grams/tonne gold and 79.8 grams/tonne silver
  TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 14, 2008) - AQUILA RESOURCES INC. (TSX:AQA)(FRANKFURT:JM4A) ("Aquila" or the "Company") is pleased to release assays from the final 13 drill holes targeting the Pinwheel Zone expansion at the Back Forty Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This drilling has successfully extended this zone 540 meters along strike.

Significant intercepts include:

- 3.5 meters (m) 9.4 grams/tonne (g/t) gold and 79.8 g/t silver in LK-312PE

- 1.8 m 2.1 g/t gold, 1,308.7 g/t silver and 1.3% copper in LK-314PE

- 1.1 m 1.4% copper and 478.6 g/t silver in LK-311PE

Detailed results from the 13 holes summarized above are available on the Company's website at www.aquilaresources.com.

Aquila's extensive exploration drill program of 44,000 meters in 203 new drill holes since completion of NI 43-101 compliant resource in April 2007 is now complete with results of the remaining 37 holes still pending. A new 43-101 resource estimate is expected before the end of 2008. Aquila anticipates that the newly released results from the Pinwheel Zone expansion announced today, which is a poly-metallic lens of massive to semi-massive sulfide containing predominantly copper and zinc with local enrichments of gold and silver, will significantly expand this multi metal resource.

With the suspension of drilling, the Company has begun geotechnical and mine planning work necessary to complete a 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment expected to be completed in 2009. "We are eagerly awaiting the new resource numbers and results of the Preliminary Assessment, and hope to establish the Back Forty as a major, poly-metallic deposit with continued potential for expansion," stated Tom Quigley, Aquila's President.

While Aquila is financially well positioned to continue to advance the Back Forty towards a development decision, management and the Board of Directors have developed plans to curtail expenditures and extend the existing budget through 2010 in the event capital markets fail to improve. Concurrently with this, the Company is evaluating a variety of financing options and partnerships to enable the Back Forty Project to proceed on schedule with advancement toward feasibility and permitting. "It is our intention to continue towards development at the project, and our current cash position and projected expenditures for 2009 will allow us to maintain our projected time lines," stated Mr. Quigley.
