=DJ CANADA VENTURE: Mexivada Assets Could Be Spun Off --
By Brian Truscott
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
VANCOUVER (Dow Jones)--Mexivada Mining Corp. (MNV.V) might want to
consider
changing its corporate name, now that one of its more prominent
projects is in
Africa - not Mexico or Nevada.
In fact, Mexivada's latest project is in the Republic of Congo
(Brazzaville),
where its subsidiary, Compagnie Miniere du Chaillu, has just been
awarded three
new concessions for raw diamonds in the Chaillu Massif, which is in
and around
the Mayoko greenstone belt. The company now has four concessions
for gold and
diamonds as well as four additional prospecting permits in the
region.
"There's never been any work in this Mayoko greenstone belt so this
thing has
huge potential," said Richard Redfern, Mexivada's chief executive
and president.
The bottom line here is that the property has a
Witwatersrand-type
gold-diamond mineralization - that's a good thing,
historically.
"Witswatersrand (mineralization) has some of the world's largest
gold deposits
(and there are diamonds in them also)...and we could have
gold-bearing
conglomerates that have been enriched by gold-bearing vein systems,
which opens
the possibilty for open-pit mining," he said. "If there's any
indication that
it's the size we think it is, the majors will come running in."
Sounds great, but as always with a junior mining company, highly
speculative.
However, the prospect looks tempting and Redfern - a geologist who
has worked
with majors and juniors, including Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX), since
1975 - has
been sitting on the Congo property since the mid-1990s.
Congo, Yes, But Don't Forget Numerous N.A. Assets
While the Congo property looks enticing, Mexivada still has its
share of
Americas-based assets, including the Jefferson property in Nevada -
in an area
that's historically been associated with mining and one that's
attracted some of
the more major rivals, including Barrick, Newmont Mining Corp.
(NEM) and Kinross
Gold Corp. (KGC). Mexivada awaits forest service permits but has
already
identified seven or eight targets for open-pit or underground mines
in the area.
"We'll get that (permitting) done within six to 12 months," Redfern
said.
In Mexico, Mexivada continues to work its gold-silver (and lead and
zinc)
Yecora property, which is near the state of Chihuahua.
However, a more pressing problem for Redfern - and the company's
board - is
that Mexivada is now sitting on a number of assets that are growing
in value as
exploration gradually moves toward development.
"We have to figure out some way to do deals on individual entities
so that
some bigger, cash-rich company doesn't just take us out, lock,
stock and
barrel," he said. "We might spin (the African property) off into a
Barbados
corporate Congo diamond corporation - and then we can spin off the
Mexico
(assets) into something else as well as putting the U.S. assets
into another
(entity)."
The Congo-based asset spin-off would create immediate shareholder
value - as
well as for Redfern, given that he owns 2 million of the 23.4
million
outstanding shares in Mexivada.
Ultimately, the next year looks to be a make-or-break period for
the junior
explorer.
"Within a year, we'll have things explored well enough" to create
some
interest in the company, Redfern said.
"We're not miners," he said. "We want to attract some major and
mid-sized
companies; when we find enough to get them interested, they'll come
in and buy
us, basically."
