Newmont scheint wohl rigoros, kaltblütig und völlig unverantwortlich über Leichen zu gehen. Leichen pflastern ihren Weg.

Newmont sees copper production up 60 pct in 2009
Thu Feb 26, 2009 3:07am EST

JAKARTA, Feb 26 (Reuters) - The Indonesian unit of Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM.N) expects copper production to increase by 60 percent this year as it start to mine higher grade ore, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara, which operates the Batu Hijau copper and gold mine in Sumbawa island in eastern Indonesia, expects to produce 455 million pounds of copper concentrate this year, up from 284 million pounds in 2008.

"Although copper prices are expected to decline in 2009, higher metal output due to better ore grades will cushion the impact," Martiono Hadianto, director of Newmont Nusa Tenggara, said in a statement read to Indonesia's parliament.

The mine has a copper concentrate grade of between 25-30 percent.

Adamus has option to buy licences in Ghana from Newmont

2008-08-05 03:31 ET - News Release

See News Release (C-ADU) Adamus Resources Ltd

Mr. Mark Bojanjac of Adamus reports

ADAMUS OPTION TO INCREASE LANDHOLDING BY 35%


Adamus Resources Ltd. has secured an opportunity to significantly expand its prospective landholding in Ghana, with the option to acquire nearby tenements from Newmont Ghana Gold Ltd.

The options involve 100 per cent of the Edum Banso and Hotopo prospecting licences from Newmont Ghana Gold, a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corp., for shares in Adamus and an underlying royalty (the option).

Acquisition of the prospective licences will boost the company's landholding in the renowned Ashanti trend in Ghana by 35 per cent. The tenements will complement the company's Southern Ashanti gold project, where Adamus has established a gold mineral resource of 1.63 million ounces at 1.78 grams per tonne (measured and indicated) and 340,000 ounces at 1.64 g/t (inferred), and is progressing mine and plant development.

Prospecting licences

The prospecting licences, which encompass over 162 square kilometres of prospective tenure, are located within a 50 km radius of the company's existing Salman deposit. This would increase the company's existing focussed regional tenure from approximately 464 square kilometres to 626 square kilometres.

Banso

The Banso prospecting licence covers an area of approximately 13 square kilometres, 40 kilometres north east of the proposed plant site for the Southern Ashanti gold project.

Newmont completed two phases of geochemistry. The first was a regional stream sediment sampling program and the results from this warranted a secondary 400 m by 50 m grid-based soil geochemistry program. This program defined two discrete soil anomalous zones: the first in the southern tenement area; and the second in the far north of the tenement.

The southern anomaly, which is the most consistent, contains a broad north-northwest-striking anomaly over an area 1.8 km long and one km wide, with the central portion of the anomaly exceeding 120 parts per billion. The northern anomaly is narrower but shows higher tenor than the southern anomaly.

These results are consistent with having identified economic mineralization in similar, adjacent terrains. As part of its technical assessment of the property, Adamus plans to infill the Newmont geochemistry lines to define the anomaly, undertake detailed surface mapping and then proceed to drill testing.

Hotopo

The Hotopo prospecting licence covers an area of approximately 150 square kilometres, 30 kilometres southeast of the proposed plant site for the Southern Ashanti gold project.

Newmont focused on a 2.5 km wide by five km long area of the Hotopo prospecting licence. That has been the target of detailed soil geochemistry, and resistivity and chargeability geophysics. Several discrete coincident anomalies were obtained from this work, and follow-up drilling was recommended and subsequently undertaken. A total of 47 reverse circulation holes were drilled to test the anomalies down to 100 metres. The drilling results revealed broad, low-grade zones of mineralization with narrow high-grade zones.

Some of the drilling intersected wide zones of anomalous mineralization in the 0.1 g/t to 0.4 g/t range that may suggest the holes were proximal to higher-grade mineralization and this would need to be followed up. The company's technical team believes good potential exists to identify supergene-enriched deposits close to the broad zones identified near the surface. These may be associated with the deeper high-grade zones that may be feeding the supergene horizon.

Terms of option agreement

Newmont has granted Adamus a 180-day option to acquire 100 per cent of Newmont's interest in the prospecting licences, in consideration for:

* Upon receipt of requisite regulatory approvals, the issue of 100,000 fully paid ordinary shares in Adamus (shares) to Newmont;
* In the event that Adamus elects to exercise the option:
*
o The issue of a further 150,000 shares to Newmont;
o The future payment to Newmont of a 1-per-cent gross royalty on any manganese produced from the prospecting licences, capped at a maximum royalty payment of $500,000 (U.S.) per prospecting licence.

The option period will commence upon receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals, including approval of the Ghanaian Minister of Mines.

The directors of Adamus believe the option over the prospecting licences provides an excellent opportunity for the company to add significant regional exploration upside to the broader Southern Ashanti gold project.

Newmont gets extension to sell interest in Batu Hijau

2008-02-25 09:38 ET - News Release

Mr. Richard O'Brien reports

NEWMONT RECEIVES DIVESTITURE DEADLINE EXTENSION FROM INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT


Newmont Mining Corp. of Canada Ltd.'s Newmont Mining Corp. had requested and received an extension of the government-imposed deadline to complete agreements in principle to divest 10 per cent of PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT), owner of the Batu Hijau mine in Indonesia. The government extended the deadline until March 3, 2008. If an agreement to sell shares in PTNNT to the local governments cannot be reached by this date, or a further extension of the deadline is not granted, PTNNT may be forced to protect its interests by resorting to conciliation or arbitration.

"We are pleased that the government granted additional time to try to reach agreement on the initial share divestiture," said Richard O'Brien, president and chief executive officer of Newmont. "We have worked diligently and in good faith to offer and complete the sale of shares and hope to reach agreements in principle within the week. We remain committed to resolving this issue in a fair and transparent manner."

Background

PTNNT entered into a contract of work (COW) with the government of Indonesia on Dec. 2, 1986, which covers the Batu Hijau mine. PTNNT is currently owned by 20 per cent by PT Pukuafu Indah, an Indonesian company controlled by Indonesian nationals, 45 per cent by Newmont Indonesia Ltd. and 35 per cent by Nusa Tenggara Mining Corp., an affiliate of Sumitomo Corp.

Under Article 24 of the COW, PTNNT has an obligation to ensure that the foreign shareholders of PTNNT (currently Newmont Indonesia Ltd. and Nusa Tenggara Mining Corp.) offer the following shares for sale by the following dates.

March 31, 2006: 3 per cent

March 31, 2007: 7 per cent

March 31, 2008: 7 per cent

March 31, 2009: 7 per cent

March 31, 2010: 7 per cent

In accordance with the provisions of the COW, the foreign shareholders offered to sell a 3-per-cent interest in PTNNT to the Indonesian government for $109-million in 2006, and a further 7 per cent to the Indonesian government for $282-million in 2007. The central government chose to decline both offers and the foreign shareholders engaged in efforts to divest shares in PTNNT to the local governments in the region where the Batu Hijau mine is located. On Jan. 28, 2008, the foreign shareholders signed an agreement to transfer a 2-per-cent interest in PTNNT to the Kabupaten Sumbawa government.

Notwithstanding the foreign shareholders continuing efforts to work with local government entities and other Indonesian parties to conclude the sale of the remaining 8-per-cent interest in PTNNT currently on offer, the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources issued a letter of default to PTNNT on Feb. 11, 2008, claiming that PTNNT failed to perform its divestiture obligations under the contract of work.
