Nicht abzustreiten ist, dass maik die kursentwicklung (mindestens die richtung) richtig vorhergesagt hat. Oder?

Maik, würdest Du uns an Deinen Kenntnissen/ Deinem Wissen teilhaben lassen? Ich würde sehr gerne erfahren, wie Du zu Deiner Einschätzung gekommen bist. Hast Du Kenntnisse über Marenica, die hier im Forum bisher noch nicht bekannt sind? Oder gründet sich Deine Bewertung auf "allgemeinen Erfahrungen" mit Junior Explorern? Gibt es einen Weg, mehr als das Ergebnis Deiner Überlegungen zu erfahren?

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 40.018.506 von Thomasbk am 20.08.10 09:42:05Quatsch - ich lese, daß im September begonnen wird und Untersuchungen über mehrere Monate geplant sind. Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass es dann doch länger dauert, bis Ergebnisse kommen, oder liege ich da so falsch?

kann das bitte jemand hier reinstellen - kann das leider nicht öffnen!

vielen dank

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 40.018.614 von Harry0978 am 20.08.10 09:55:31NEW DIRECTOR APPOINTED FOR MARENICA
International uranium company Marenica Energy Limited (ASX: MEY) is pleased to
announce the appointment of Mr Gavin Becker, ARSM, BSc(Eng) (London), MBA (Bond),
FAusIMM, CP (Met) as a non‐executive director.
Mr Becker is a metallurgist with over 35 years industry experience, during that time he has
worked in senior operational, R&D, feasibility study and consulting roles on lead / zinc, gold,
uranium, copper and nickel mines and / or projects. Earlier in his career he lived and
worked in Southern Africa (Zambia 2 years, South Africa 4 years).
Mr Becker is currently an executive in a Services Company in the mining sector.
Mr Becker has had a successful track record in capital raisings and completion of a number
of significant feasibility studies. Also of direct relevance to Marenica Energy Limited , Mr
Becker has uranium experience from his time in South Africa (including Mintek) as well as in
Australia (Yeelirrie Project). He also managed WMC Resources' initial heap leach projects at
St.Ives near Kambalda in WA, followed by Dominion Mining's Cosmo Howley operations in
the Northern Territory, which produced Dominion's first gold using heap leach methods.


MARENICA PROJECT UPDATE
The Marenica Uranium project comprises the Marenica Deposit and surrounding exploration area
totalling 527 square kilomteres. The Marenica deposits mineral resource estimate totals 227 million
tonnes at 170ppm U3O8 U3O8comprising an Indicated Mineral Resource of 31Mt grading 175ppm
U3O8 and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 196Mt grading 169ppm U3O8 for a combined total of 85
million pounds (39,000 tonnes) of contained U3O8.
The Marenica deposit is a large low grade secondary uranium deposit (carnotite) that is made up of
two significant ore types, paleo‐channel sedimentary and oxidised bedrock. Testwork has been
completed on these types of ore to determine mineralogy and beneficiation by radiometric sorting
or srubbing through to final product recovery. The scope of work by ANSTO focused the preferred
process route of agitated slurry leaching on upgraded ore. The uranium was readily leached from
the ores using alkaline leach solution, in both bottle roll tests and slurry leaches recoveries ranged
from 75 to 90%.
Significantly the metallurgical testwork showed that the material was easily broken down requiring
little crushing. As a consequence of this beneficiation by screening and scrubbing indicated that the
uranium is concentrated in the fine material and that 90% of the U3O8 concentrated in 30% to 37%
of the material in the minus 150 micron fraction while in the minus 38 micron fraction 83% of the
U3O8 concentrated in 15% to 23% of the mass.
The results from Preliminary scoping work conducted by SRK Consulting (UK) during the first half of
2010, clearly demonstrated that a large heap leach operation shows positive economics. The
beneficiation process is the key driver in the next round of testwork, beneficiation prior to
agglomeration and leaching will significantly enhance the project economics.
This change in the preferred process route will involve additional metallurgical test work across a
broad selection of samples to confirm the use of the heap leach technology. The metallurgical work
will involve a series of upgrade, agglomeration and column leach tests that will take several months;
these tests are planned to commence in early September 2010.
This work is to be supervised Kappes‐Cassiday & Associates, who are specialists in the development,
engineering and implementation of extractive metallurgical processes for the mining industry and
have particular expertise in heap leaching.
A sample matrix for selection of ore types has been generated and samples have been collected for
shipment for testwork at AMMTEC in Perth. The initial part of the study will involve 10 subcomposites,
made up from a combination of basement and palaeo‐channel ores, and classified
according to depth and grade.
Portions of sub‐composite will be subject to a series of screening and scrubbing tests, and resulting
re‐combining screened and scrubbed material into an upgraded, blended product. The blended
materials will be split and employed in agglomeration testing as well as a 30‐day intermittent bottleroll
testwork.
Two master composites will be made by combining basement material into a single composite and
channel material into a second composite. Each master composite will be treated separately and
screen / crush sizes will depend on the results of the sub‐composite screening / scrubbing work.
The aim is to produce an upgraded dry (screened) product that is combined with upgraded
(scrubbed) slurry that will be agglomerated as preparation for column leaching.
Results from this work will be fed back into a technical economic model and are expected to
significantly enhance the project economics.
