“I feel good that we had a good hearing,” he said. “This was one of the best fact-finding meetings we’ve had in a long time.”
Carlson acknowledged that environmental advocates are disappointed with his decision. But, he added, his bill would have done less to restrict a proposed copper and nickel mine than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s draft environmental impact statement that some say could not stand up in court.
Das hört sich doch gut!
das nenne ich mal eine Rakete, ABER WAS WISSEN ANDERE WAS WIR NICHT WISSEN?
Könnte die Produktion losgehen? Dann sollen über 29 Jahre rund 28 Prozent des Vorkommens gefördert werden. Der abgezinste Wert von Polymet erreicht bereits unter sehr niedrig geschätzten langjährigen Metallpreisen mehr als 200 Millionen Euro. Blieben die Metallpreise auf heutigem hohem Niveau, wäre Polymet mehr als 700 Millionen Euro wert. Der aktuelle Börsenwert beträgt ? Millionen.. Eine Verdreifachung des Aktienkurses wäre durchaus möglich denke ich.
Unternehmensboss William Murray sitzt nicht nur auf riesigen Metallvorkommen.
Er konnte Mitte November 2005 mit einem besonderen Coup überraschen. Polymet kaufte dem Eisenerzproduzenten Cleveland-Cliffs im Tausch gegen 6,2 Millionen Polymet-Aktien die aufgelassene Eisenerzverarbeitungsanlage der ehemaligen LTV
Steel Mining ab. „Die Akquisition stattet Polymet mit 80 bis 85 Prozent der nötigen Infrastruktur aus“, freut sich Murray. „Mehr noch, wir sparen uns zirka 200 Millionen Dollar Entwicklungskosten“, so der Vorstandschef weiter.
Wie Schröder schon sagte alles wird gut, hol mir mal ne Flasche Bier.....

Hi, also bei Polymet wirken sich die Kongresswahlen vom 02.11.2010 positiv aus. Jetzt sind die Republikaner am Drücker und sind sicher daran interessiert die Arbeitslosigkeit abzubauen. Voraussetzung dafür ist die Erteilung der längst fälligen Umweltgenehmigung. Der Prozess der Genehmigung sollte sich nun beschleunigen:
"In Minnesota, the newly Republican legislature might be able to speed up the approval process for what could turn out to be the richest copper and nickel mine in the world, according to David Olson, president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. PolyMet Mining (PLM) has spent close to $27 million in its quest for permits from state and federal environmental officials, he says.
PolyMet says that it began the environmental review process in 2004 and has completed 100 technical studies totaling approximately 14,000 pages. But the EPA has questioned the adequacy of those studies. PolyMet's stock trades for under $2, reflecting investor nervousness."

Polymet drops copper metal production plan
PolyMet Mining Corp. announced Wednesday that it no longer plans to produce finished copper metal at its planned processing plant near Hoyt Lakes, a move that will reduce startup costs by a fifth and the number of long-term jobs by a tenth.
“It’s the best decision to make at this time; it has the best overall economic return and also reduces the overall environment impact,” company spokeswoman LaTisha Gietzen said Thursday.
The revised project will create about 360 long-term jobs, compared to the original estimate of 400.
Although the revised plan would create fewer jobs, Hoyt Lakes Mayor Marlene Pospeck sees a silver lining in the announcement. The construction savings and lower operating costs probably would mean the operation would be more viable and stable.
“I’m pretty much encouraged by this,” she said.
PolyMet had planned to produce copper metal, nickel-cobalt hydroxide and precious metal precipitate products. Under the change it still will produce the last two but not copper metal, instead producing high-grade copper concentrate.
The change means the company will have to buy and install less equipment. According to the company’s 2008 cost estimate, the equipment it will no longer buy accounted for about $127 million of the project’s $602 million price tag. The change also will lower energy consumption and reduce waste disposal and emissions at site.
PolyMet plans to create Minnesota’s first copper mine. Its proposed open-pit mine near Babbitt would produce copper, nickel, platinum and other metals. The company would process the ore at the former LTV Steel taconite plant near Hoyt Lakes.
The project is still in the Environmental Impact Statement phase. The company hopes to receive needed permits in 2012.
If built, the operation would create 360 or more jobs for about
20 years. The project has been praised by Iron Range leaders as a critical step toward diversifying the region’s dependence on iron ore mining.
Critics say the company and government regulators can’t be sure the mine won’t cause long-term environmental problems years after mining operations cease.
Friday, July 15 2011
Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota, July 15, 2011 - PolyMet Mining Corp. (TSX: POM; NYSE AMEX: PLM) (“PolyMet” or the “Company”) has closed the second tranche of its previously announced private placement (the “Offering”) with Glencore AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glencore International plc (“Glencore”), issuing 5 million common shares of the Company (the “Tranche 2 Shares”) at US$2.00 per Share for gross proceeds of US$10 million.
Separately, Glencore has acquired pursuant to a private transaction 9,200,547 common shares (the "Cliffs Shares") of PolyMet at a price of US$1.4233 per share, from Cliffs Erie L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. ("Cliffs") (NYSE: CLF) (Paris: CLF).
Between 2004 and 2006, PolyMet issued an aggregate of 9,200,547 of its common shares to Cliffs in partial payment for the Erie Plant facilities in northeastern Minnesota. PolyMet retained the right to purchase or arrange for the purchase of these shares by a third party, at a specified price, if Cliffs decided to sell some or all of its position.
(On July 14, 2011, US$2.00 and US$1.4233 equaled Cdn$1.92 and Cdn$1.3642, respectively, at the Bank of Canada noon exchange rate of US$1 = Cdn$0.9585).
Glencore Financing
With completion of the second tranche of the Offering, Glencore has purchased common shares of PolyMet in the aggregate amount of US$45.0 million and holds debentures of PolyMet in the aggregate principal amount of US$28.2 million (including capitalized interest as of June 30, 2011).
Including the Cliffs Shares and the Tranche 2 Shares, Glencore currently owns an aggregate of 28,634,509 common shares of PolyMet, representing 17.89% of the 160,045,791 common shares outstanding. In addition, Glencore has the right to exchange US$28.2 million in debentures into an additional 7,053,445 common shares of PolyMet, to exercise outstanding warrants for an additional 3 million common shares of PolyMet at US$2.00 per share, and to acquire an additional 5 million common shares of PolyMet pursuant to the Offering. On a partially diluted basis, assuming that all such common shares are acquired by Glencore under the existing agreements, but excluding issuance of shares committed under existing share compensation agreements, Glencore would hold a total of 43,687,954 common shares representing approximately 24.95% of PolyMet’s partially diluted common shares.
Glencore acquired the Cliffs Shares and the Tranche 2 Shares in the ordinary course of Glencore's business and may from time to time acquire additional securities of PolyMet and/or its subsidiaries, dispose of some or all of the existing or additional securities it holds or will hold, or may continue to hold its then current position. Persons who wish to obtain a copy of the early warning report to be filed by Glencore in connection with this transaction may obtain a copy of such report from www.sedar.com or by contacting PolyMet's representative listed below.
The Tranche 2 Shares have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption under the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
This notice is issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

19.09.2011
eine unternehmensberatung wird beauftragt eine Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement SDEIS anzufertigen (aufbauend auf die von 2009). soll bis ende januar 2012 fertig sein..
die SDEIS enthält u.a. den austausch von waldgebieten, die polymet gehören, im austausch gegen rechte für das gebiet um die NorthMet mine site, die derzeit der U.S. Forest Service ("USFS") gehören.
die fertige SDEIS wird dann bis ende april 2012 geprüft von einer Koordinationsbehörde, die verkürzt gesagt 'neu aufgesetzt' wird, damit sich solche dinge in zukunft nicht mehr elend lange hinziehen:
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources ("DNR"), U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers ("USACE") and the USFS are the Lead Agencies responsible for preparation of the SDEIS, while the EPA is a Cooperating Agency and actively involved in review of the SDEIS.
das ganze soll dann bis ende Q2/2012 über die bühne sein...und hoffentlich in eine genehmigung münden ;-)
wenn das klappt solltest du ende 2012 wieder im plus ein (genau wie ich)...
natürlich hat der laden mächtig potential. kommt nur auf den anlagehorizont an. - glencore hat ihn...
mußte hier mit kleinem minus die notbremse ziehen. - das hol ich mir noch zurück.
falls die krise(n) sich nicht bis 2013 fortsetzt, ist das delay am ende evtl. ein vorteil
wann auch immer die wirtschaft global wieder zündet ist polymet vorne
@kalle
die übersetzung war für dich, da du mich aufmerksam gemacht hast
trotzdem schimpfe ich nicht über die grünen. ist schon richtig so. die erde ist eine kleine kugel..
"I am excited to have joined the PolyMet team," Mr. Cherry said. "The team is making excellent progress working with State and Federal regulators. In the coming weeks and months, we expect to report successful achievement of significant milestones on the path to completion of the NorthMet environmental review and subsequent permitting."
