      ONA Energy Announces Commercial Startup of its Yongxing Power Plant in the Hunan Province of China

      ONA Energy Inc. is pleased to announce that the Company has now completed all the necessary plant inspections, upgrades and modifications at the Company's 60% owned, 60 MW coal-fired power plant in Yongxing County, in the Hunan Province of China. The boiler startup procedure is now underway, with the plant expected to begin commercial production within the next 24 to 48 hours.

      Commercial production was originally anticipated to begin in the middle of August, but was delayed with the discovery of defective rear bearings in the generator. This repair is now complete, along with inspection of all other bearings in the generator. This delay in production has allowed the Company to stock pile the plant's fuel supply. There is now close to a full month's fuel surplus on hand, prior to the beginning of commercial operation.

      The Yongxing Power Plant Corporation is ONA Energy's 60% owned Sino-Foreign joint venture company constructing an environmentally friendly desulfurization power plant in the Yongxing County, Hunan province of China. The power plant will be classified as a comprehensive utilization of waste-to-energy power plant that will consume up to 75% of coal tailings (a coal mining waste residue) as its main fuel. The power plant will also comply with the latest National Development and Reform Committee guidelines of achieving very low NOx, SO2 and particulate matter (fly-ash) emissions and produces clean coal energy.

      Die Preisentwicklung wird für Vanadium bis 2011 positiv gesehen - danach kommt mehr Material auf den Markt, was zu sinkenden Preisen führen könnte ... (Anm: Das Maracas-Projekt von Largo Resources in Brasilien kommt Anf. 2010 in Produktion und würde dann noch von hohen Vanadium-Preisen profitieren)

      Vanadium Industry, 2008 Outlook
      By CPM Group - 25 Aug 2008

      Just released, the report provides in-depth analysis of: global vanadium mine, slag, and secondary production; demand fundamentals, with an outlook for each application; inventory estimates; and prices. Both vanadium pentoxide and ferro-vanadium prices are forecast through 2018. Added need for vanadium-bearing steels and super alloys, coupled with shifting supply dynamics, also are detailed.

      Vanadium production is increasingly controlled by integrated steel conglomerates and diversified mining companies. However, several new primary mine projects are forecast to contribute to the supply picture in the coming years. These companies are developing properties in countries traditionally overlooked by the vanadium market. Meanwhile, South Africa, China, and Russia are expected to expand their vanadium production capacities over the projected period.

      China is slated to become the top producing country as medium-term concerns about electricity supply impact South Africa, currently the largest vanadium-producing country. The bulk of new primary and slag supplies are expected to come online after 2011, which should relieve the deficit experienced in the vanadium market since 2003.

      Over the past five years, vanadium demand has increased at a robust rate. CPM Group projects this growth continuing, as the steel quality standards in emerging economies increase. The majority of demand for vanadium comes from the steel industry, where ferro-vanadium is alloyed with other elements to create multifunctional steels. Vanadium is critical in imparting strength, toughness, and wear resistance.

      These properties are especially important in high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels, which are growing in usage as the energy, transport, and construction industries seek to maximize the strength while minimizing the weight of their products. The growth potential in vanadium’s other end-use industries is present as well. Aerospace applications are rapidly expanding in tandem with the introduction of next generation commercial aircraft. In fact, vanadium-bearing titanium alloys used in aircraft have very limited substitutability.

      The outlook for vanadium prices going forward is positive. They are anticipated to remain above historical averages, though should fall moderately as supply issues are rectified. A narrower deficit in the next few years will help correct prices from the record levels seen in the last three years.

      Prices are forecast to experience a rather steep decline in 2011 as the market transitions to a surplus, according to the detailed mine by mine breakdown in the report. Thereafter, vanadium prices could decrease steadily. Nonetheless, a high price environment is expected to be sustained.

      Eisensand (da denke ich auch an Cardero Resource) ...

      Cheung Kong buys Taharoa Irons Sands for $204m
      26.08.08

      BLUESCOPE Steel will sell its New Zealand iron sands mining and export operation to Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings for $204 million.

      The sale is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of calendar 2008.

      “The sale generates a strong financial return for BlueScope Steel (ASX: BSL) and reflects the current high world demand for iron ore,” managing director and chief executive Paul O'Mally said.

      “We are pleased with the financial outcome from this transaction.”

      BlueScope’s New Zealand steel business operates two iron sands mining operations, Taharoa and Waikato North Head, through its subsidiary, New Zealand Steel Mining.

      The Taharoa mining operation is a purely export focused business, whilst Waikato North Head is integral to New Zealand Steel's steel making operations at Glenbrook, and will remain with the company.

      BlueScope said it remains committed to the ongoing development of its New Zealand business.

      “The Waikato North Head mine supplies New Zealand Steels steelmaking operations and is a strategic component of the overall New Zealand platform,” it said.

      Japanese steel majors may join hands for buying iron ore mines

      Jiji Press reported that major Japanese steelmakers are considering joining forces to purchase overseas iron ore mining rights to cope with the raw material's soaring prices. The move is intended to share massive purchasing costs and secure stable supply of iron ore.

      The report named following Japanese majors
      1. Nippon Steel Corp
      2. JFE Steel Corp
      3. Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd
      4. Kobe Steel Ltd
      5. Itochu Corp

      The report added that the Japanese government plans to support the effort by having the government affiliated Japan Bank for International Cooperation offer low interest loans.

      To start with, the consortium is considering participating in competitive bidding for Brazilian steelmaker CSN's Namisa iron ore unit. Other mines in Brazil and on the west coast of Africa are being considered as targets.

      Arafura, Incitec Pivot consider new plant
      25th August 2008, 9:45 WST

      Minerals explorer Arafura Resources and fertiliser maker Incitec Pivot are studying the possibility of constructing integrated chemical facilities to supply chemicals to Arafura’s proposed rare earth phosphate processing facility.

      The pair have signed an agreement to conduct the study, which will include a review of potential plant sites in South Australia and the Northern Territory for both a chemical plant and the rare earth processing facility, and is expected to take six months.

      “The parties will consider the feasibility of the chemical facility supplying the majority of Arafura's chemical needs for its rare-earth facility, including hydrochloric and sulphuric acid and caustic soda,” Arafura said in a statement.

      They will also consider marketing opportunities for the chemical outputs of phosphoric acid and calcium chloride from the facility.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.784.803 von XIO am 20.08.08 21:58:36Hab was gefunden zu Anvil Mining auf http://goldinvest.de/public/story_detail.asp?l=1&c=10,20020&… vom 7.11.07.

      37 Unternehmen fallen laut dem Bericht unter die Kategorie B, darunter auch Großunternehmen wie Freeport McMoRan und BHP Billiton, 24 Unternehmen soll, laut Empfehlung der Kommission, die Lizenz entzogen werden. Der spektakulärste Fall eines (empfohlenen) Lizenzentzugs dürfte Anvil Mining Ltd betreffen. Anvil soll das Dikulushi Kupfer/Kobalt Projekt verlieren, das seit sieben Jahren in Produktion ist. Kein einziges Unternehmen wurde von der Kommission mit Kategorie A bewertet.

      Vielleicht hat sich ja seit 7.11.07 die Situation bei Anvil geändert und sie haben in der Zwischenzeit "positive Signale" von Regierung oder Minenministerium bekommen? Ich werd mal im Anvil Thread nachfragen ...

      Auszug aus dem Eisenerz-Report vom 19.08.08:

      Industry Research and Investment Analysis Report on China’s: Iron Ore Mining Industry for 2008
      August 19th, 2008

      Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “China Industry Research and Investment Analysis: Iron Ore Mining Industry, 2008” report to their offering.

      The unprecedented growth seen in China, India and Russia has created strong demand for iron ore. China itself consumes over 50% of the world’s iron ore production. The shortage of iron ore will continue until 2011.

      With China’s ongoing construction of infrastructures such as power stations, ports, highways, and railways, China needs more iron ores in the coming years. The rapid increase in Chinese steel consumption and production has created extra demand for iron ore, a key ingredient in the making of steel.

      China’s crude steel output this year is forecast to rise about 10% to 550 million tons. Chinese steel-makers have bought stakes in Australian iron ore miners, as they are anxious to secure supplies of an essential raw material that is in short supply. The supply growth is slower than expected.

      Iron ore prices are booming, driven by the global appetite for steel in developing countries. Increased Chinese demand for iron ores and continuous rise of international sea freight pushed up the iron ore price sharply by 86 percent in 2007, and have raised prices fivefold since 2001 to a record, spurring Vale, Rio and BHP Billiton Ltd. to expand mines.

      The price of iron ore import will increase by 96.5 percent in 2008, by 20 percent in 2009, and could jump further should there be delays in output.

      China’s domestic iron ore producers have not been able to meet demand, which has led to China’s import of iron ore doubling between 2003 and 2006, increasing by 70 million metric tons from a year ago, and will doubling imports in the next six years, making China the largest importer of iron ore.

      By 2010, China’s import of iron ores will increase from 275 million tons in 2005 to 540 million tons, and its dependence on imported iron ores will also be raised from 52.5 percent to 62.9 percent in the same period.

      Kaum schreib ich hier, dass mich das Thema "Ölsand" interessiert, geht auch Warren Buffett auf Tour ... :eek:

      Buffett tours Canada's oil sands
      News wires - 22.08.08

      US billionaire investor Warren Buffett toured Canada's oil sands with friend Bill Gates this week to understand how the resources are developed, but said he had no plan to buy into the sector.

      In an interview on CNBC television, Buffett said he and the Microsoft co-founder discussed their interest in the oil sands a few months ago, and agreed they would get a better education with a first-hand look than just reading about it.

      The visit on Monday led some in the Canadian oil and investment industries to speculate that Buffett, chairman of conglomerate Berkshire, and Gates could be readying to invest in the oil sands.

      But Buffett said he has no "buy order" out, said Reuters.

      The oil sands of northern Alberta represent the largest deposits of crude outside the Middle East and are seen as a major source of secure oil supplies for the US.

      Buffett and Gates toured Canadian Natural Resources C$9.3 billion (US$8.9 billion) Horizon oil sands mining and synthetic crude processing operation, which is due to start production later this year.

      It will be the fourth major oil sands mining venture, following those run by Syncrude Canada, Suncor Energy and Shell.

      The tycoons also visited an in situ oil sands project. Buffett did not say which such operation he toured.

      No matter how efficient oil sands operations are, oil prices -- and the ability to make long-term price forecasts -- will be the biggest factor in their profitability, he said.

      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 34.813.944 von stupidgame am 22.08.08 16:48:48indicated resource total more than 94 million tonnes of magnetite iron ore.

      Würde man mal davon ausgehen, das das alles förderbare Reserven werden...
      Konservativ mit 100USD/t gerechnet macht 9,4 Mrd.$. Hälfte London Mining, Hälfte Wits Basin macht für jeden 4,7 Mrd. Firmenbewertung mit 10% davon wäre 470m$ Marketcap.
      WITM wird sicher noch was finanzieren müssen. Die abschliessende Anzahl der ausstehenden Aktien ist hier die Unbekannte. einiges an dilutivem Material ist auch noch ausstehend. Bringt zwar teilweise etwas Bargeld in die Kasse, erhöht aber auch die Aktienanzahl.
      Wenn man mal ganz vorsichtig mit 300m Aktien rechnet, dann würde sich ein Kursziel von 1,56$ ergeben.
      Wäre quasi ein Tenbagger vom jetzigen Kurs aus gerechnet.
      Sind natürlich noch etliche Risiken. Der Deal kann auch noch platzen.
      Kann aber evtl. eine lohnende Spekulation sein...
