soviel ich weiß sind Antrazit-Kohlevorkommen sehr selten u. deren Kohle bekommt einen markanten Preisaufschlag.
Also Kohle ist nicht gleich Kohle.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 43.509.094 von ernestokg am 19.08.12 08:13:01Mit Kohle läßt sich beim richtigen Einstieg gut "Kohle" verdienen. Allerdings ist das "NICO gold-cobalt-bismuth-copper Projekt" bei FT im Moment interessanter...

The lack of excitement haunting the precious metals and mining shares markets over the past year is expected to change in the next few months, according to Michael Fowler, senior mining analyst with Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon Ltd. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he explains why he expects gold to finally break through the $2,000/ounce barrier in 2013 and how this should affect the mining stocks that he covers. While share prices are generally low across the board now, Fowler tells us about a few of the ones that he expects to shine bright when the market turns.

..."MF: I like Fortune Minerals Ltd. (FT:TSX). It has a large metallurgical coal deposit, Mt. Klappan, in British Columbia. The other property, NICO, is a cobalt-gold-bismuth deposit in the Northwest Territories. It has a mixture of commodities. There is also some copper in there. Both projects need quite a lot of money to get going. The company has been aggressively looking for a strategic investor mining company in Asia. It already has an Asian partner, POSCO (PKX:NYSE) for the Mount Klappan coal deposit and is looking for another Asian partner for the NICO deposit. Despite money being very scarce now, there is a lot of money in Asia. I think Fortune is doing a very good job of trying to find Asian investors for its projects. It's trading for a song right now, around $0.60, with about a $70M market cap. These two projects have four feasibility studies, and the total net present values of those studies translate into over $5/share. So it's trading at a big valuation discount.

TGR: What is your target on that one?

MF: Our official target is $2.65."...

Fortune Minerals Announces NICO Permitting Update

Information Request Stage Completed - Advancing to Technical Meeting Stage

Issued Capital: 116,076,976

LONDON, ON, Dec. 16, 2011 /CNW/ - Fortune Minerals Limited (TSX-FT) ("Fortune" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Environmental Assessment ("EA") process currently underway in the Northwest Territories ("NT") to permit the mine and mill for the Company's NICO gold-cobalt-bismuth-copper deposit. The NICO project, which was referred to EA in February 2009, has completed an additional milestone by progressing to the Technical Meetings Stage.

The Developers Assessment Report ("DAR") for the NICO project, submitted in May 2011 to The Mackenzie Valley Review Board ("MVRB"), passed the conformity check in August with no deficiencies. The EA progressed to the Information Request Stage where interested parties that have reviewed the DAR submitted questions to the Company through the MVRB. Fortune received these requests, which consisted of 425 questions from 10 separate interested parties, in mid-October. Fortune completed its responses to these requests and has now advanced to the Technical Meetings Stage of the EA process. These meetings are scheduled for January 17-19, 2012 in Yellowknife.

Dr. Richard Schryer, Fortune's Director of Regulatory and Environmental Affairs, commented that, "we are proud of our team's comprehensive and timely response to the information requests, and with our continued progression through the EA process."

Fortune is concurrently working to secure a strategic partner to help finance the NICO project and has engaged Deloitte & Touche Corporate Finance Canada Inc. ("Deloitte") as the Company's financial advisor. Deloitte was re-engaged after successfully helping Fortune secure POSCO Canada Ltd. as its first stage joint venture partner for the Mount Klappan anthracite coal project in British Columbia. Deloitte will assist Fortune in identifying additional potential strategic partners and in evaluating potential transactions.

The Company is also pleased to report that an aggregate of 6,383,277 of its publicly traded warrants that expired on December 5, 2011 were exercised at a price of $0.80 per share resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.1 million.

Fortune aims to secure funding partners by mid-2012

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – The CEO of Fortune Minerals, who has just returned from a trip to Asia speaking to potential funding partners, said on Wednesday there was “extreme” interest in its Mount Klappan coal project in Northern British Columbia, despite the current economic fears.

The company aims to finalise financing from strategic partners for both Mount Klappan and its Nico gold-cobalt-bismuth project in the Northwest Territories by the middle of next year, Robin Goad said in an interview.

“Metallurgical coal is in short supply. Strategic buyers are looking at backward integration transactions to guarantee sources of supply,” he commented.

Mount Klappan has one of the world’s biggest undeveloped resources of metallurgical coal, in the form of anthracite, which is used in steelmaking.

On his trip, Goad visited prospective partners in Japan, Korea and China, where he met with steel companies, trading firms and coal producers.

London, Ontario-based Fortune already struck a deal with Korean steel giant Posco in July, where the world’s third-biggest steelmaker bought a 20% stake in the company for $30-million, also agreeing to pay for its share of development at Mount Klappan and pay Fortune another $17.2-million based on future project milestones.

Fortune is seeking to raise additional funding through a second deal at the project, estimated to cost around $800-million to build.

“We’re looking for a minority project-level partner, [which will provide] debt guarantees tied to offtake,” Goad told Mining Weekly Online.

The company said earlier this month it had hired Deloitte to assist in finding partners for Mount Klappan and Nico. The consultancy had helped put the Posco transaction together.

A feasibility study at Mount Klappan, which was updated a year ago, foresaw a $614-million capital cost, and Goad said he did not believe this would have risen dramatically since.

The mining industry has experienced massive cost inflation over the past couple of years as wages and other inputs have all surged in price.

Goad pointed out that the recent volatility had caused some materials, such as steel, to pull back.

Fortune aims to start producing at Nico in 2014, and at Mount Klappan the following year.

The feasibility study at the anthracite project outlined a three-million-ton-a-year operation, and Goad said there was the potential to double this five years after first output, which Fortune would seek to fund through cash flows.

The company has a C$85-million market capitalisation and its projects have a $1.3-billion combined base case net present value, according to their feasibility studies, implying the company trades at a steep discount.

One of the solutions to this Fortune was considering would be to split into two separate entities – one to focus on Nico and the other Mount Klappan, which Goad said the company is frequently asked about.

“It would certainly make the story simpler,” he said.

However, the topsy turvy markets made such a move unattractive in the current environment, so the focus remained on finding partners for the projects.

Changing Fortune’s corporate structure was “something that might make sense in the future”, commented Goad.

Fortune Minerals the Ontario Company behind a huge anthracite coal project in BC has signed a cooperation agreement with a native group for its NICO gold bismuth copper project in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

Mr Robin Goad president of Fortune Minerals said that "The signing of this agreement expands on our existing long term relationship with the Tlicho Government and the Tlicho people. The agreement lays the foundation for discussions on fundamental topics of interest such as the possible environmental and cultural impacts of the NICO Project on Tlicho owned lands."

Under the agreement which is similar to an MOU, the company agrees to pay for a study that will examine the project's potential impacts on the environment and the Tlicho people. Stock in Fortune Minerals was down 4.35% near the end of trading on Wednesday. The NICO project is located 160 km northwest of Yellowknife, NWT. The 31 million-tonne deposit would be a combination open pit and underground mine.

Ore would be processed at 4,650 tonnes per day over an 18 year mine life. The mine still needs to have a road built to extract the ore. A road was allowed under a previous environmental assessment by the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Review Board but the Tlicho disagreed saying the inclusion of the road did not respect the band's moratorium on development.

The third largest steelmaker whereby POSCO will pay 20% of the capital costs in developing Fortune’s Mount Klappan anthracite coal deposit, located in northwest British Columbia. In exchange, POSCO will receive 20% of the mine’s production. Mount Klappan is Canada’s only known deposit of anthracite a high carbon coal used in steelmaking and as a blended coal for coke production and one of the world’s largest undeveloped deposits of metallurgical coal. There are 2.8 billion tonnes of coal spread over four areas, including 231 million tonnes in the measured and indicated category.

Fortune Minerals &Tlicho Government Sign Co-operative Relationship Agreement - Nov 8, 2011
www.fortuneminerals.com/News/Press-Releases/Press-Release-De…

"LONDON, ON, Nov. 8, 2011 /CNW/ - Fortune Minerals Limited (TSX-FT) ("Fortune Minerals" or the "Company") and the Tlicho Government have signed a Co-operative Relationship Agreement for the NICO gold-cobalt-bismuth-copper project in the Northwest Territories ("NT"). This agreement, which is similar to a Memorandum of Understanding, establishes the framework and path forward for further negotiations, defines primary liaison officials, and sets the communication protocol for the two parties. The agreement states that the Tlicho Government and Fortune Minerals "wish to develop a co-operative relationship through which they will attempt to reach mutually beneficial agreement on matters affecting their respective interests."


"The signing of this agreement expands on our existing long-term relationship with the Tlicho Government and the Tlicho people", said Fortune Minerals President, Robin Goad. "The agreement lays the foundation for discussions on fundamental topics of interest such as the possible environmental and cultural impacts of the NICO Project on Tlicho owned lands."

Grand Chief Eddie Erasmus stated "This agreement provides the resources for the Tlicho Government to collect knowledge critical to understanding the impacts of this project. It also provides resources to ensure the robust engagement of the Tlicho Government in the regulatory process."

In the spirit of the Co-operative Relationship Agreement, Fortune Minerals has agreed to fund a Traditional Knowledge ("TK") Study that will focus on providing traditional knowledge and land use practice information for the environmental review of the NICO project. This study, which will be carried out by the Tlicho Government, will contribute to the environmental assessment process that Fortune Minerals is currently undertaking. The objectives, scope and financial terms of the TK study were detailed in a separate agreement that was signed as part of the Co-operative Relationship Agreement. "The information provided in this TK study will be of great value, not only in the assessment of potential impacts and mitigation strategies for NICO, but also in the development of management plans that take into consideration the knowledge and concerns of the Tlicho people", stated Fortune Minerals Director of Regulatory and Environmental Affairs, Dr. Rick Schryer.

The Tlicho Government and Fortune Minerals have also signed an Environmental Assessment Funding Agreement to support the Tlicho Government with their review of the NICO Project's Developers Assessment Report ("DAR"). The environmental assessment is currently at the Information Request stage where stakeholders, including the Tlicho Government, submit questions on the DAR. Fortune Minerals has received the first set of information requests from the Tlicho Government for which responses are currently being prepared. The Tlicho Government has also formed the Kwe Beh Working Group which manages the Tlicho Government's involvement in the regulatory process of environmental assessment for the NICO project, among other tasks. Representatives of Fortune Minerals will be meeting with this working group later next month to address questions that have been identified after their review of the DAR.


Project Background:

The NICO project is located 160 km northwest of the City of Yellowknife and 50 km north of the Tlicho community of Whati. The 31 million tonne deposit would be developed using a combination of open pit and underground mining methods with ores projected to be processed at the rate of 4,650 tonnes per day in a mill at the site over an 18-year mine life. Other facilities that are proposed at the site include a camp to accommodate employees working on a rotation basis, ancillary buildings and a 27 km all-season access road. The mill is proposed to produce approximately 180 tonnes of bulk concentrate per day for shipment south to the Company's proposed hydrometallurgical refinery near Saskatoon for further processing. Fortune Minerals plans to be a significant, reliable North American-based supplier of high purity cobalt cathode, bismuth ingot, gold doré, and by-product copper cathode and nickel precipitates.
