Na, jetzt hab ich doch noch was gefunden (wenn die Aktien bereits am 27.08.06 ausgegeben wurden - Aktie schloß 13% tiefer - ist das jetzt schon eingepreist und es kann wieder aufwärts gehen):
Mirabela Nickel Ltd has agreed to place 6 million ordinary shares at $1.25 per share to raise $7.5 million from institutional investors in the UK and Australia, which will be used to advance the company’s Santa Rita Nickel Sulphide Project in Brazil.
Funds will be used to extend the Santa Rita JORC Indicated Resource along strike and down dip, to test new geophysical targets recently identified at Santa Rita and Palestina, and to provide additional working capital for the feasibility study and site infrastructure.
Mirabela’s managing director Nick Poll said that drilling since the announcement of the resource has extended the Santa Rita resource limits further southwards and at depth. “Additional infill drilling to 40m spacing and to a depth of 300m is now required to define this area as Indicated Resource,” he said.
“Mirabela assumed a mining cost of US$1.20/t (ore and waste) for the Santa Rita scoping study, but studies now show that a cost of $0.90/t is achievable. In addition, recent geotechnical studies indicate that the average pit wall angle will be steeper, from 45° to 50°. These improved parameters have driven the economic limits of open pit mining deeper, requiring additional drilling to extend the resource down dip,” said Mr Poll.
Mirabela has identified geophysical targets for disseminated nickel sulphides along strike from Santa Rita in both directions. An RC rig is now on site and will be used to test these targets this month. An IP geophysical survey has been planned to provide additional geophysical coverage over Santa Rita and Palestina (25km to the south).
“The discovery of a new satellite deposit within trucking distance of a mill at Santa Rita would have a significant impact on the project economics,” Mr Poll added.
