Winston’s Growth Stock Report posted on Oct 08, 10 09:42AM

The market has been so focused on gold lately that investors are missing out on the high potential profits which junior copper stocks offer.

The price of copper has been breaking new highs all year however many junior copper stocks have been trading flat. Today we will revisit Catalyst Copper (CCY, TSXV) which I believe is getting primed for a run-up in 2011 based on three major factors:

· Copper demand is growing stronger amid shrinking supplies

· Mergers and Acquisitions of junior copper mining companies are forecasted to begin

· Catalyst Copper is well on their way to confirming a historic 1.2 billion pound copper resource.

The Copper Market

Copper is currently trading at two year highs based on a mix of economic news from three of the world’s top economic powerhouses.

The biggest single driver behind copper demand is China. With the world’s biggest population and fastest growing economy, there is a middle-class of new consumers who are standing in line to buy refrigerators, stoves and an array of electronic goods. China currently consumes 39% of the world’s copper and just like you’d expect China to do, they are buying up copper assets internationally.

In Japan, their central bank announced that they will pump more Yen into their slow economy and keep interest rates virtually at zero. I guess they mean the square root of zero because it’s as close to free interest rates as you can get. At any rate, this caused the Euro to jump versus the U.S. dollar thus making copper cheaper in U.S. dollars – unless you’re a U.S. buyer that is.

While the U.S. economy may be sagging, it’s still the most powerful economy in the world despite the very obvious downturn. This week more bad news was reported. Non-manufacturing activity dipped to its lowest point since January. As a result, the interest rate gurus in the U.S. are forecasting rates will ease yet again. This will prompt more devaluation of the greenback and thus drive up copper prices as the spot price is denominated in U.S. dollars.

The bottom line is that copper prices are forecasted to take a strong run into 2011. Junior copper exploration companies who can quickly prove up resources will likely be prime takeover candidates as producers scramble to increase production.

Catalyst Copper (CCC, TSXV) Mountains of Copper

The term “mountains of Copper” may sound a little promotional but the fact is, Catalyst has been pulling some fantastically long drill intercepts of copper from their La Verde project in Mexico.

Historic exploration data has identified two large mineralized zones known as the West Hill and East Hill deposits.

Catalyst management believes the two zones may be joined at the base which would make it a monster deposit. Recent drill results are confirming the theory. Hole 21 is a good case in point. There was 634.8 meters of 0.42% copper starting at just 19 meters from the surface. At the bottom of the drill hole the copper grade got higher averaging 0.91% copper for 130 meters. It does beg the question; are these two mountains of copper joined at the bottom? Only further exploration will tell the story.

The Catalyst Exploration Program

Catalyst is in the unusual position of starting their exploration program knowing that they already have enough copper for a 12-year-mine life.

La Verde has a historical, but non-compliant NI 43-101 resource of 96.9 million tonnes @0.63% Copper which gives them 1.224 billion pounds in the ground. An engineering firm has been hired to review the historical data and prepare a compliant NI 43-101 technical report.

If the historical data proves they indeed have a 1.2 billion pound copper resource then they are off to a very good start. However there’s a further big upside to this deal. The management believes that with only a moderate amount of drilling there is significant potential to expand the scale of the mineralization. And better again; this project would be amenable for open pit mining thus keeping the capital costs low.

There are two objectives of the 2010 exploration program:

1.Drill extensions to the known mineralization in order to target the size potential of the porphyry system.
2.Confirmatory drilling over the known mineralization to develop a N.I. 43-101 compliant resource.
The Phase One program includes a deep level IP survey, 5,000 meters of confirmation drilling, block model creation, mineral resource estimation, and the generation of a technical report. Phase Two involves both drill definition of the known zones and step-out drilling to test numerous geophysical and geochemical anomalies immediately adjacent to the La Verde zones. Phase Two includes 25,000 meters of drilling that would culminate in a second mineral resource estimate and technical report.

La Verde Copper Property

The Property, located in the Sierra Madre del Sur is approximately 320 km west of Mexico City, consists of two claims, Capire and Unificacion Santa Maria, comprising approximately 17,000 ha.. Historically, copper porphyry mineralization has been exposed in a 3 km by 1 km system which is part of two main mineralized zones termed East Hill and West Hill. The East and West Hills have been explored with 585 drill holes comprising of nearly 80,000 meters of core. The system is open in all directions. As an added bonus there has been some potential for molybdenum and gold as well which could offset the cash costs of production if developed.

The project is located in an area with a preexisting infrastructure: 150 km to coast with water, power and rail all nearby.

Catalyst has an option on the La Verde copper property which will enable them to get a majority interest of 60% from the original owner, a subsidiary of the blue chip giant Teck Resources. Part of the deal calls for Catalyst to pay $6 million in cash, which has been done, and then spend $10 million on exploration before the end of 2012 which is in progress.

After Catalyst earns its 60% interest, Teck may elect to increase its interest to 60% by incurring aggregate optional expenditures equal to two times the expenditures incurred by Catalyst, to a maximum of US $20 million. Should Teck fail to exercise the option to earn a 60% interest, Catalyst can acquire a 100% interest by paying Teck a further US $20,000,000.

Teck’s involvement in La Verde will depend upon how large of a deposit it becomes. Teck is only interested in mega sized projects. If the deposit is only mid-sized in Teck’s view then Catalyst will likely develop this deal themselves if the numbers make sense.

Conclusion

If the upcoming 43-101 proves out that they in fact have a resource of 1.2 billion pounds of copper then this stock is set for a good run. This represents a low risk exploration play given the exposed 3km by 1km mineralized system within two zones which have had 80,000 meters of historic drilling with mineralization remaining open.

The management team is headed by John Greenslade who has had extensive experience in developing and financing in Mexico and internationally. Greenslade and V.P. of Exploration,Terry Hodson were key members of the team that got the Boleo copper cobalt deposit in Mexico into development.

They are both proven copper men who are comfortable on Mexican soil. They have a reputation for environmental diligence and Greenslade speaks Spanish. His projects are typically devoid of land use disputes because he treats community relations as a key component of macro project development. That’s great news for investors.

Catalyst is our top developing copper pick.

BMO Predicts Tightening Copper Market
Buried in a recent, 84-page BMO Global Mining Research report is a prediction that the global copper supply will tighten over the next decade.

Although there are currently dozens of development projects in progress around the world, BMO cautions that "the majority of this capacity 'potential' is from 2013-2017, implying little short-term copper supply growth."

Copper producers like Freeport-McMoran (NYSE:FCX), new miners like Copper Mountain (TSX:CUM) and exploration companies like Catalyst Copper (TSXV:CCY) should all benefit from this bullish outlook on Copper markets.

According to the BMO report, the risk of oversupply for copper is low. New copper development projects will be offset by mine closures and declining grades.

An annual 3% copper market growth rate combined with the diminishing capacity of existing mines would require dozens of new mid-tier mines to be delivered to satisfy future demand. The BMO analysis highlights the potential for copper supply disruptions, higher prices and increased volatility.

The Australian Resources Super Profit Tax (RSPT) is likely to slow down the development of domestic copper projects in Australia. Many investors are steering clear of Australia until the full economic impact of the new tax is calculated.

Xstrata (LSE:XTA) said it will stop development of its $600 million Ernest Henry underground copper project. Rio Tinto (NYSE:RTP) is also reviewing its Australian projects.

According to the report, "potentially, the global 'tax rush' could impact projects outside of Australia. Any significant changes to taxes in the South America region, which represents a large proportion of global growth, could have a large impact on copper output."

Rising copper prices are not likely to cause significant demand destruction. Everything electrical requires copper. A new car is outfitted with 3 miles of copper wire totalling about 43 lbs. An average new home contains 400 lbs of copper. Alternative energy sources, like wind and solar - all require massive amounts of copper to transmit the generated electricity.

Copper is a globally entrenched product: a 25% reduction in U.S. housing starts will cause only about a 3% shrinkage in the global copper market.

There are many ways to invest in copper.

FCX is a $31 billion mining mammoth with recoverable proven and probable reserves totalling 104.2 billion pounds of copper. They are also diversified into gold, molybdenum, silver and cobalt deposits. Like a tall hybrid fruit tree, their growth rate is likely to be modest.

Copper Mountain (TSX:CUM) is developing an open pit mine in Princeton, British Columbia, to produce a yearly 100 million plus pounds of copper by June 2011. Mitsubishi purchased a 25% interest in Copper Mountain for $28.75 million and have arranged the $250 million required to debt finance the project. CUM soared 300% in the last 12 months, but has recently pulled back 30% to $2.39.

It is estimated that Mexico hosts a quarter of a trillion dollars worth of copper. At the current rate of production it would take 152 years to mine their inferred resources. Mexico has a sophisticated mining culture with a history of creating equitable deals between indigenous groups and foreign exploration companies.

Catalyst Copper (TSXV:CCY) is a Canadian resource company with a big copper asset in Mexico. It is managed by John Greenslade and Terry Hodson who were drivers of the team that developed the Boleo copper-cobalt deposit in Mexico.

Greenslade and Hodson are proven copper men - strong on the geology side - and a reputation for expert stick-handling through environmental regulatory processes and community relations.

In the last couple of weeks, Falcon Drilling has commenced the 2010 CCY exploration program by mobilizing two diamond drill rigs at the La Verde property, located in Michoacan State, Mexico.

Porphyry copper mineralization at La Verde has been explored since the 1970s, resulting in the discovery of two mineralized copper zones: East Hill and West Hill.

Catalyst has optioned the 17,000 hectare La Verde copper porphyry target in Mexico from a subsidiary of Teck Resources (NYSE:TCK). La Verde copper is situated in the Sierra Madre del Sur approximately 320 kilometres west of Mexico City.

The company is also backed by the Endeavour Financial group, who have created some of the top performing junior mining stocks of the last 10 years.

Initial drill targets include confirmation holes across the known mineralization as part of the technical support required to bring the property into NI 43-101 compliance, as well as the commencement of drilling previously untested IP targets.

La Verde has an exposed porphyry system amenable to open pit mining - a cheap way to get metal out of the ground. The project is located in an area with a pre-existing infrastructure: 150 km to coast with water, power and rail all nearby.

Catalyst can earn a 60% interest in the La Verde project by advancing US$6 million (paid) to a subsidiary of Teck Resources and incurring aggregate exploration expenditures of US$10 million by December 31, 2012.

Catalyst is currently trading at $0.11 with average daily volume of around 800,000 and a market cap of $24 million. The La Verde copper property is close to rail and power. And it's sitting in the middle of a politically stable, rich copper-producing region.

At this price and with a drilling program already underway, CCY surely presents an interesting investment opportunity.

CATALYST COPPER DRILL RESULTS REVEAL DEEPER
By Peter Cole November8,2010
The latest drill results from Catalyst Copper (CCY-TSX) confirm that the West Hill mineralization zone extends deeper than the historical data indicates, and that average grades are higher at depth. These facts support the theory that CCY may have two mountains of copper which are joined at the base.

The results for the final six holes in Phase 1 of its 2010 drill program on the La Verde copper porphyry project, Michoacán State, Mexico reveal significant intersections of copper mineralization including 0.55% Cu over 527.6 meters and 0.48% Cu over 440.9 meters.

The six twinned holes on the West Hill (V15-T, V17-T, V19-T, V21-T, V47-T, V74-T) added an additional 1322 meters of depth to the historical 1731 meters of drilling.

"Catalyst is very pleased with these drill results," says Catalyst's VP Exploration Terence Hodson. "They have confirmed the copper mineralisation at La Verde as intersected by historical drill holes and will allow Catalyst to complete a NI 43-101 resource calculation by the end of the year. Also significant is the majority of holes drilled this year have extended the East Hill and West Hill mineralized zones further to depth than originally interpreted."

Catalyst is earning a 60% interest in the La Verde Project by advancing US$6 million to a subsidiary of Teck Resources and incurring aggregate exploration expenditures of US$10 million by December 31, 2012. Teck has shown no signs of washing their hands of this project.

Catalyst CEO John Greenslade and V.P of Exploration Terry Hodson were key members of the team that got the Boleo copper cobalt deposit in Mexico into development. Veterans on Mexican soil, they have a reputation for environmental diligence, strong community relations and savvy deal making.

In fact, the Spanish-speaking Mr Greenslade just raised $823 million for Baja Mining (BAJ-TSX) for the construction and development of the Boleo project in Mexico. The deal involved the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Korea Development Bank, and an assorted group of commercial banks, including Barclay’s.

Copper is a big story that keeps getting bigger.

Used in Transport, Electrical, Construction and Engineering, global copper sales are around $110 billion dollars a year.

A new car is outfitted with 3 miles of copper wire totalling about 43 lbs. An average new home contains 400 lbs of copper. Emerging alternative energy sources, like wind and solar - all require massive amounts of copper to transmit the generated electricity.

The surging price of copper can only improve the bottom line, of open pit porphyry deposits like La Verde.

Catalyst copper is backed by the Endeavour Financial group, who have created some of the top performing junior mining stocks of the last 10 years.

As Catalyst drills deeper, the news gets better.

There was a 23 day gap between the release of the first and second set of drill results.

Look for the completion of an N1 43-101 compliant resource some time before Christmas.

CCY hat m.E. die notwendigen Voraussetzungen für ein Investment:

1. Ein gutes Management mit Erfahrung
2. Ein gutes Projekt mit nachgewiesenen Resourcen - hier stellt sich nur die Frage, ob es sich um ein medium-sized oder um ein Mega-Projekt handelt - bei Mega-Projekt ist die Übernahme des 40/60%- CCY-Anteils durch Teck so gut wie sicher
3. Gute Voraussetzungen für die permits
4. Finanzierung derzeit noch kein Thema
5. Für ein Early-Stage-Unternehmen geringes Risiko

Bei den oben aufgeführten Artikeln muss man immer das "verkaufsfördernde" Motiv im Hinterkopf haben, die Begründungen dafür, dass CCY als early stage eine gute Investition bietet - bei einem vergleichsweise relativ geringem Risiko in einer solchen Phase - erscheint mir aber sehr nachvollziehbar.

[Popeye82]

[ACEGIP]

Aus den historischen Resourcen von 1,2 Mrd. lbs Kupfer sind 2,1 Mrd. lbs zzgl. erweitert um mgl.weise 1,3 Mrd. lbs. geworden. Sollten die beiden bekannten Vorkommen East und West Hill tatsächlich verbunden sein (the deeper you drill the higher the grades) werden diese Resourcenschätzungen sich noch (deutlich) erhöhen - das entsprechende Drill-Programm ist auf dem Weg.

Allerdings würde dann Teck zuschlagen und das Projekt vollständig übernehmen.

Abgeleiteter Wert der CCY-Anteile (in diesem Fall):

Insitu: Geschätzes - nachgewiesenes - Kupfervorkommen: 4,0 Mrd. lbs multipliziert mit $ 0,08/lbs = $ 320 Mio. * 40% = $ 128 Mio. plus die bereits vereinbarten $ 20 Mio. = $ 148 Mio. ==> ein knapper Vervierfacher in 2011.
Der Wert der Catalyst-Anteile hätte eine deutlich bessere Persektive, wenn Teck nicht zuschlagen würde und sie selbst das Projekt entwickeln würden.
Hier zunächst die Meldung zu den NI 43 - 101 Ergebnis vom 17. Dezember 2010:


Catalyst Copper announces resource estimate for La Verde, Mexico


Catalyst Copper Corporation (“Catalyst Copper” or “the Company”) today announced that Micon International Engineering of Vancouver has completed a NI 43-101 compliant independent Resource estimate of the La Verde copper project, Michoacan State, México.



Using a 0.2% copper cut-off grade, the East and West Hill deposits at La Verde contain Measured and Indicated Resources of 210.5 million tonnes averaging 0.46% total copper (TCu) contains 2.1 billion pounds of copper. An Inferred Resource of 130.8 million tonnes grading 0.46% TCu contains 1.3 billion pounds of copper.



The Micon report indicates that there is potential for additional tonnage in both deposits especially at depth. Micon therefore recommends that additional delineation drilling around the perimeter of the deposits and at depth should be initiated.



The Resource has been calculated at various copper cut-off grades and is based on drill results including 596 drill-holes totalling 80,606 meters conducted by previous owners. Results from these historic holes were verified with 11 diamond drill-holes totalling 6,319 meters plus nine definition drill-holes totalling 5,957 meters completed by Catalyst Copper this year.



“We are extremely pleased with the increased size of the deposits utilizing a 0.2% Cu cut-off and the potential to further improve on the size with the 2011 drill program. These two deposits are exposed at surface and amenable to low-cost open-pit mining. This, along with the is excellent infrastructure that exists on site, should reduce future anticipated capital and operating costs for this project,” says Terry Hodson, Catalyst’s VP Exploration.



A summary of Measured and Indicated and Inferred Resources at various cut-off grades is shown in Table 1 below.

1. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Resource as a result of continued exploration.

2. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves because there is insufficient studies to demonstrate economic viability.

3. Mineral Resources are global insitu totals.

4. Mineral Resource numbers have been rounded and may not add up in the above table



A NI 43-101 Technical Report detailing the Mineral Resource estimate will be filed on SEDAR within the next 45 days.



Copper mineralization associated with the deposits is primarily chalcopyrite and to a lesser extent, bornite. Historically gold (Au), silver (Ag) and molybdenite (Mo) values are known to be associated with the deposits; currently the number of assays available for these elements is insufficient to interpolate Au, Ag and Mo grades into the block model.



The project is located in an area with excellent infrastructure. Power, rail and water all cross the property. Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico’s third largest port on the Pacific ocean coast, is 150 km from the site. Significant upside potential remains for the two known zones of porphyry style copper, gold and molybdenum mineralisation as the 2010 drill program has shown both deposits remain open to depth and along strike.



The Resource was prepared by D. Makepeace, P.Eng., senior geologist for Micon who is an independent qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.The Mineral Resource estimate was completed using a 3D computer model. The drill hole database was based on 616 drill holes which totaled 92,881 meters. A composite interval of 5 meters was used and constrained to geological rock types. A single block model (10 x 10 x 10 meters) was created to envelope both mineralized deposits. Block grades were interpolated using the inverse distance squared technique. The estimate did not employ a high grade copper cap. A density (specific gravity) of 2.70 g/cm3was used for the East Hill deposit (porphyry style mineralization) while the West Hill deposit (chalcopyrite vein style mineralization) used 2.75 g/cm3, based on historical density measurements. All QA/QC requirements have been followed including incorporating standards, blanks and duplicates into the assay procedures and independent check analyses by a second laboratory.



La Verde property is subject to an option agreement with a Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (Teck) whereby Catalyst’s 100% Mexican subsiderary, Minera Hill 29, may earn a 60% interest in La Verde by making US$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures (including 30,000 meters of drilling and 200 kilometers of IP) by December 31, 2012. During 2010, Catalyst drilled 12,27 6 meters and completed 150 kilometers of Induced Polarization surveys (IP). Upon Catalyst earning a 60% interest, Teck has the option to increase its interest to 60% by incurring aggregate expenditures equal to two times the amount spent by Catalyst. Should Teck fail to exercise its option to earn a 60% interest, Catalyst can acquire a 100% interest in La Verde by paying to Teck US$20 million. The property is subject to an underlying 0.5% NSR.



Catalyst Copper currently has approximately $3.5 million dollars in working capital, as a result of the addition of $1.4 million from the exercise of warrants to purchase 10 million shares at $0.14 per share. An agressive work program is planned for 2011 including commencement of environmental baseline studies, metallurgical testwork, continued definition drilling at the East and West Hill deposits, plus drill testing of various geophysical anomalies.

In den letzten Tagen sind wieder einige mehr oder weniger gleichlautende Artikel im Investors Guru Small Cap, Gold-Editor und commodityonline erschienen, um die Aktie zu promoten und bekannter zu machen und den Aktienpreis zu erhöhen - in einigen Monaten sind die vorhandenen Mittel aufgebraucht und es werden neue Aktien zur Finanzierung der weiteren Aktivitäten ausgegeben - je höher der Aktienpreis je geringer die Verwässerung.
Als einen neuen Punkt in den Artikeln ist ein Bewertungsvergleich zu anderen Explorern aufgeführt, der die vergleichsweise "krasse" Unterbewertung aufzeigen soll:

..."Enterprise Value / lbs-in-the-ground comparisons with copper companies like Hana Mining (TSXV: HML#, Redhawk Resources #TSXV: RDK) and Far West Mining (TSX: FWM) suggest that CCY has growth potential.
CCY is currently trading at $0.16 and has a market cap of only $35 million.
The surging price of copper and John Greenslade's track record of developing mineable deposits, indicate that Catalyst is a company worth watching. More at CatalystCopper.com."

Hallo ACEGIP,

Naja, mit solchen Vergleichen sollte man IMO bissl vorsichtig sein. Einfach -möglichst hoch bewertete?- Kupferunternehmen raussuchen &eine $/Ib-Bewertung vorzunehmen ist doch vollkommener Quatsch. Ich kann nicht sagen wie es bei den anderen Cu-lern aussieht, aber HMG.V hat auch einen Haufen vorzuweisen, was andere nicht haben(wenngleich m.E.n. einen großen Knackpunkt). Dementsprechend variieren diese Bewertungsansätze auch SEHR stark.

Aber CCY.V sieht für mich erstmal auch sehr interessant aus. Vom 1sten Eindruck her aktuell für mich eines der 3 -5 interessantesten Kupferunternehmen. Wir können hier ja mal n bissl diese ungeliebte "Recherche" -nennt sich glaub ich so?? - machen , bissl was zusammentragen. Du hast ja schon einige Punkte angesprochen, aber gibt auch noch anderes. Die scheinbar schon "extensive" vorhandene Infrastruktur gefällt mir vor allem auch sehr gut. More to come ...

Die Zahlen darf man natürlich nicht in dem oben dargestellten Verhältnis für bare Münze nehmen. Dazu bedarf es die Herstellung einer Vergleichsbasis - Kostenstruktur insb. Infrastrukturkosten, Energie, Qualität der Resource mit ihren Parametern etc ... - dies ist nicht möglich.

Eine Tendenzaussage lassen sie aber m.E. zu.

Catalyst hat derzeit das Problem - wie alle Explorer in diesem frühen Stadium -, dass sie ihren Bekanntheitsgrad steigern müssen und die beauftragen Postillen müssen neben den bereits schon mehrfach verwendeten Textbausteinen auch mal was neues bringen - und das haben sie mit diesem "Vergleich" vollbracht.

Catalyst Copper launches 2011 Exploration Program at La Verde, Mexico

Catalyst Copper Corporation (the “Company” or “Catalyst”) today announced it will commence 20,000 metres of diamond drilling at its La Verde copper-gold project located in Michoacán State, México, by the end of January. A diamond drill rig is currently on site and drilling crews are being mobilized.

The drilling will form part of Catalyst Copper’s 2011 exploration and development program, which will also include: a determination of the gold-silver-molybdenum values for the known deposits; initial metallurgical test work; commencement of baseline environmental studies and updating the resource model.

Following the excellent drill and geophysical results achieved during 2010, Phase 1 of the 2011 program will involve drilling extensions of the known deposits. This work was recommended by Micon International Limited in the technical report released in December 2010 which stated “there is potential for additional tonnage in both deposits especially at depth” and recommended that “additional delineation drilling around the perimeter of the deposits and at depth should be initiated”. Phase 1 is budgeted at a minimum US$2 million.

Phase 2 of the 2011 exploration program will involve the continuation of definition drilling on the known deposits as well as testing geophysical targets identified in the 2010 program. Initial metallurgical test work will be carried out to determine copper-gold-silver-molybdenum recoveries to a sulphide concentrate, as well as updating the resource model with the 2011 drilling results. Phase 2 is budgeted at a minimum US$4 million and (subject to available funding) will commence upon completion of Phase 1. Upon completion of the 2011 program a preliminary economic assessment of the La Verde deposits will be carried out.

The Company currently has approximately $3.2 million dollars in working capital. The 2011 work program will complete the commitments with Teck Resource Limited (Teck) to exercise the Company’s option to earn a 60% interest in the property (see option summary at the end of this release).

In 2010, Catalyst:

•Signed a three-year option agreement with Teck whereby Minera Hill 29, Catalyst’s wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, can earn a 60% interest in the La Verde porphyry copper deposit, subject to a back-in right by Teck.
•Signed a four-year land access agreement with local land owners.
•Completed 12,275 metres of core drilling (Table 2) and 150 kilometres of geophysical surveys.
•Published an initial NI 43-101 compliant independent resource estimate completed by Micon International Engineering of Vancouver (see Table 1).

The 2011 drill program at La Verde has commenced with the first drill hole collared on January 29.

La Verde property is subject to an option agreement with a Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (Teck) whereby Catalyst's 100% Mexican subsidiary, Minera Hill 29, may earn a 60% interest in La Verde by making US$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures (including 30,000 meters of drilling and 200 kilometers of IP) by December 31, 2012. Upon Catalyst earning a 60% interest, Teck has the option to increase its interest to 60% by incurring aggregate expenditures equal to two times the amount spent by Catalyst. Should Teck fail to exercise its option to earn a 60% interest, Catalyst can acquire a 100% interest in La Verde by paying to Teck US$20 million. The property is subject to an underlying 0.5% NSR.

The report was prepared by D. Makepeace, P.Eng., senior geologist for Micon who is an independent qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.The Mineral Resource estimate was completed using a 3D computer model. The drill hole database was based on 616 drill holes which totalled 92,881 meters. A composite interval of 5 meters was used and constrained to geological rock types. A single block model (10 x 10 x 10 meters) was created to envelope both mineralized deposits. Block grades were interpolated using the inverse distance squared technique. The estimate did not employ a high grade copper cap. A density (specific gravity) of 2.70 g/cm3was used for the East Hill deposit (porphyry style mineralization) while the West Hill deposit (chalcopyrite vein style mineralization) used 2.75 g/cm3, based on historical density measurements. All QA/QC requirements have been followed including incorporating standards, blanks and duplicates into the assay procedures and independent check analyses by a second laboratory.

Catalyst Reports Significant Copper Mineralization in First 2011 Drill Holes @La Verde; Intercepts include 0.45% Cu over 158.7 meters, including 0.93% Cu over 25.2 meters - Mar 28, 2011
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Catalyst-Reports-Significant-c…

"VANCOUVER, March 28 /CNW/ - Catalyst Copper Corp. (the "Company" or "Catalyst") today announced it has intersected significant copper mineralization in the first drill holes of the 2011 drill program on the La Verde copper porphyry project in Michoacán state, Mexico.


Significant results include 0.45% Cu over 158.7 meters; including 0.93% Cu over 25.2 meters and 0.38% Cu over 59.7 meters (see Table 1 below for details). Also, visual inspection of the one hole with assay results pending exhibits porphyry style mineralization and alteration suggesting the possibility of an additional porphyry deposit at depth at the West Hill similar to the one seen at the East Hill of the property.

Drilling at La Verde restarted on January 28, 2011, with the first Phase 1 drill holes planned to test projected mineralized extensions associated with the East Hill and West Hill mineral deposits. To date four holes have been completed for a total of 2,851 meters, all on the West Hill. Today's release details results for the first three of these holes. Results for the fourth hole are pending. The drill is currently being moved to the East Hill mineral deposit.

During 2011, Catalyst plans to drill a minimum of 20,000 meters at La Verde. Additional work planned for 2011 includes environmental studies, metallurgical test work and updating the NI43-101 resource estimate incorporating all new drilling results.


Results in detail

Drill hole LV11-013 tested an east-west trending geophysical target located north of the West Hill deposit. Results show the presence of a second mineralized zone located approximately 200 meters north of the West Hill mineral deposit. Further drilling is planned to expand this zone.

Hole LV11-014, drilled south from the same location as LV11-013, was designed to intersect the extension of copper mineralization 100 meters below the West Hill zone. Assay results, 0.45% Cu over 158.7 meters, show copper mineralization continues to depth. As the hole failed to close off the mineralized zone another drill hole will be required down dip of LV11-014.

LV11-015 was a 100-meter step-out east of the West Hill zone towards the East Hill zone. The East Hill and West Hill mineral deposits are separated by approximately 800 meters with little drill testing of the gap between them. Results are encouraging as the intersections listed in the table below show copper mineralization remains present in this step-out hole. Gold values are also seen to be increasing in this direction. Further drilling is planned for this area. Assays are pending for the bottom 120 meters of this hole.

Hole LV11-016, the longest hole drilled on the property, visually exhibits encouraging porphyry style mineralization and alteration. Drilled for 894.45 meters at -50° to the north as an in-fill hole, LV11-016 was designed to better define copper mineralization on Section 810850E that was previously intersected in Catalyst hole LV10-008 (0.33% Cu over 508.7m and 0.55%Cu over 77.4m). Core logging indicates the upper portion of the hole is mineralized similar to the underlying LV10-008 hole with veined and fracture controlled copper mineralization. More significantly this hole was extended to a length of 894.45m as Cu mineralization continued and was increasing in intensity to depth.

Equally important is the presence of bornite and molybdenite previously only observed in the East Hill mineral deposit. The geological model developed by Catalyst has predicted the presence at depth of a porphyry deposit at West Hill similar to that seen at East Hill. The presence of bornite and molybdenite, plus associated alteration seen in LV11-016 are interpreted to be indicators of an East Hill style porphyry system. Detailed assay results for hole LV11-016 are pending. Because this hole ended in copper mineralization plans are being made to bring in a second drill rig with greater depth capabilities in order to deepen it.

A map showing previous and current drill holes is available on the Catalyst website at www.catalystcopper.com.

T.W. Hodson, P.Geo. is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed the technical disclosure contained herein and accepts responsibility for such disclosure.

Catalyst currently has approximately $3.0 million dollars in working capital. It is anticipated the 2011 work program will complete commitments under the option agreement described below to exercise the Company's option to earn a 60% interest in the property.


About La Verde

The La Verde project is located in an area with excellent infrastructure. Power, rail and water all cross the property. Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico's third largest port on the Pacific ocean coast, is 180 km from the site. Significant upside potential remains for the two known zones of porphyry style copper, gold and molybdenum mineralisation as the 2010 drill program has shown both deposits remain open to depth and along strike.

La Verde property is subject to an option agreement with a Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (Teck) whereby Catalyst's 100% Mexican subsidiary, Minera Hill 29, may earn a 60% interest in La Verde by making US$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures (including 30,000 meters of drilling and 200 kilometers of IP) by December 31, 2012.

"Winston’s Growth Stock Report" - May 6, 2011

"Catalyst Copper (CCY, TSXV)
This week Catalyst Copper announced “Catalyst's 2011 Drill Program Continues to Return Significant Copper Mineralization La Verde Hole LV11-016 returns 0.363% Cu over 867.9 meters.”

OK, before your eyes glaze over as you attempt to calculate the significance of what that means, 867.9 meters is one huge length of mineralized core! Consider Grouse Mountain which backdrops my home town of Vancouver, its 1200 meters or around 4,000 feet.

It’s May, and you can still ski up there. It’s a big mountain.

So when you think that Catalyst’s drill hole is around ¾ the size of Grouse Mountain, it really puts the sheer size of the drill core into perspective. And, get this. The drill hole reached the maximum depth capability of the drill rig!!

Catalyst’s management has been speculating all along that they may have two “mountains of copper” which are joined together. Later this year we will have an updated 43-101 estimate which should be very telling.

“Delineation and expansion drill holes in La Verde’s twin copper-gold porphyry deposits are consistently returning copper and precious metal values over significant intervals,” says Catalyst’s VP Exploration Terry Hodson. “These two deposits are located in an area with excellent infrastructure, are separated by 800 meters, both outcrop at surface near the top of a low ridge and are amenable to low cost open pit mining methods. Based on my years of experience as a geologist evaluating mineral deposits, La Verde is one of the most attractive porphyry copper deposits with which I have been associated. ” ..."

2011 La Verde Drill Program returns 0.76% Cu, 0.2 g/t gold over 175 meters
June 6,2011 Trading Symbol: CCY

VANCOUVER, B.C. – Catalyst Copper Corp. (the "Company" or “Catalyst”) today released assay results for a further two drill holes of the current approximate 20,000 meter drill program in progress on the La Verde copper porphyry project in Michoacán state, Mexico.

Holes LV11-018 and LV11-019 were drilled on the East Hill deposit. LV11-019 returned 0.206 g/t gold, 9.1 g/t silver and 0.76% copper over 175.04 meters from 239.0 to 414.34 meters. Hole LV11-018 returned 0.051 g/t gold, 4.2 g/t silver and 0.432% copper over 390.35 meters. Results from these two drill holes; the second and third holes completed this year on the East Hill deposit, continue to confirm the presence of potentially economic copper, gold, silver and molybdenum values associated with the

Eine Bank? Naja. Das wirst Du wissen, wenn sie irgendwann mal (eine Basis für)ein KGV veröffentlichen sollten.


Ich muss zugeben, dass ich hier anfänglich einen Punkt deutlich unterschätzt hatte -wenn man den mittelfristigen Kapitalbedarf hinzuzieht, dann dürfte sich die Bewertung hier schon einiges relativieren. Ich würde mal schätzen kannst Du bestimmt 40 -100%, von hier, draufpacken.

Trotzdem sieht es m.E.n. schon ziemlich interessant aus. So um die 30Mio CAD, +/- ein bissl, wäre es für mich ein spekulativer, langfristiger Kauf. Im SH wird auch einiges spekuliert ob Baja Mining die irgendwann mal vom Markt nimmt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dafür kann ich nicht einschätzen, aber ich würde es auch nicht ausschliessen, könnte schon einigen Sinn machen.

Catalyst Copper Commences Metallurgical Studies @La Verde - Sep 12, 2011
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Catalyst-Copper-Commences-cnw-…

"VANCOUVER , Sept. 12, 2011 /CNW/ - Catalyst Copper Corp. (the "Company" or "Catalyst") today announced it has commenced metallurgical test work as part of the ongoing evaluation of the La Verde copper-gold-silver porphyry deposit located in Michoacán State, Mexico , 320 kilometres west of Mexico City .


Four composite samples from La Verde have been delivered to G&T Metallurgical Services Ltd. (G&T) located in Kamloops, B.C. Two samples from each of the West Hill and East Hill deposits will be tested. Grades of the four composite samples are shown in Table 1.

The purpose of the tests is to provide initial metallurgical recoveries to concentrate for copper gold and silver. These recoveries will then be utilized in a planned economic analysis of La Verde.

Each metallurgical sample weighed about 100 kilograms and was created by compositing drill core intersections taken from multiple drill holes. For both the West and East Hill deposits, one metallurgical sample is from the mixed oxide-sulfide zone located at surface and the second is from the sulfide zone. The sulfide zone is characterized by the presence of copper minerals chalcopyrite plus or minus bornite and forms the majority of the deposits. The narrow mixed oxide-sulfide zone is located at or near surface as indicated by the presence of oxide minerals malachite and limonite.

About La Verde

La Verde is located in an area with excellent infrastructure. Power, rail and water all cross the property. Lazaro Cardenas , Mexico's third largest port on the Pacific Ocean coast is 180 km from the site. Significant upside potential remains for the two known zones of porphyry style copper, gold and molybdenum mineralization as the 2010 drill program has shown both deposits remain open to depth and along strike.

La Verde property is subject to an option agreement with a Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (Teck) whereby Catalyst's 100% Mexican subsidiary, Minera Hill 29, may earn a 60% interest in La Verde by making US$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures (including 30,000 meters of drilling and 200 kilometers of IP) by December 31, 2012 . Upon Catalyst earning a 60% interest, Teck has the option to increase its interest to 60% by incurring aggregate expenditures equal to two times the amount spent by Catalyst. Should Teck fail to exercise its option to earn a 60% interest, Catalyst can acquire a 100% interest in La Verde by paying to Teck US$20 million. The property is subject to an underlying 0.5% NSR.

über kurz- oder lang dürfte hier schätze ich mal ein Split nicht unwahrscheinlich werden:

"... Overall performance

Corporate outlook

Drilling at La Verde for the 2011 exploration program commenced on January 28, 2011. As of the date of this report twenty‐four holes had been completed for a total of 15,918 meters of the year’s planned program of 20,000 meters. Prior to 2011 over 96,000 m of drilling at La Verde had been completed. Drilling is being carried out in two phases:

+ Phase 1: drilling extensions of the known deposits as recommended by the Micon International Ltd.’s (Mineral industry consulting firm “Micon”) Technical Report dated January 31, 2011 which states, “there is potential for additional tonnage in both deposits especially at depth”; and

+ Phase 2: continuation of definition drilling on the known deposits as well as testing geophysical targets identified in the 2010 exploration program.


This drilling formed part of the Catalyst Copper 2011 exploration and development program, which will also include: a determination of the gold‐silver‐molybdenum values for the known deposits; initial metallurgical test work; commencement of baseline studies and updating the resource model.


Catalyst proposed milestones for the 2011 exploration year:

+ Complete metallurgical test work;

+ Continue definition drilling;

+ Produce an updated NI 43‐101 resource estimate; and

+ Drill test IP anomalies.


The ground work for the 2011 exploration program was developed in 2010 when Catalyst was able to achieve key objectives set for the La Verde Project:

+ Micon completed (and filed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com) a National Instrument 43‐101 Property of Merit Report for the project;

+ Completed a land access agreement with local land owners;

+ Expanded the IP coverage into areas covered by gravel deposits to identify additional anomalies;

+ Drilled extensions to the known mineralization in order to target the size potential of the porphyry system;

+ Completed confirmatory drilling over the known mineralization to develop a NI 43‐101 compliant resource


...

Exploration update

In August 2010 the company contracted Micon International in order to complete a National Instrument 43‐101 compliant resource estimate for the La Verde Property.

This resource estimate incorporates all historic drill data as well as results from the 2010 exploration drill program.

Currently Catalyst has completed 28,193 meters of the 30,000 meter Teck commitment. Phase 1 of this drill program (2010) was to twin twelve (12) of the historic drill holes in order to verify historical grades and intercepts. Phase 2 targeted designated extensions of known Cu‐Au mineralized drill intersections. Core samples are being sent to Acme Labs of Vancouver for analysis.

The Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey (geophysical program) was concluded for the exploration year with 154 line kilometres completed to date. Areas which have returned interesting IP responses are being filled in with closer spaced lines where warranted. In particular, the process of investigating a magnetic signature in the southern part of the property led to the discovery of anomalous IP responses on 3 lines, 450 metres apart and still open along strike. This is regarded as very encouraging as previous geological and geophysical programs at La Verde demonstrated a strong association between anomalous IP responses and porphyry copper mineralization.

The Company seeks to better define the resources and has announced that Tetra Tech WEI Inc. has been contracted to produce an updated NI43‐101 resource estimate which is currently in progress. In conjunction with the updated report it is proposed to complete a “Preliminary Economic Estimate” based on the results achieved to date.


Liquidity and capital resources

As at August 31, 2011, the Company had working capital of $2,352,289 (May 31, 2011 ‐ $1,525,474). The Company plans (subject to available funds) to spend an aggregate of $10 million prior to the end of the second quarter of 2012 in exploration at the La Verde project, to complete its’ commitments under its Option Agreement with Teck. In the quarter ended August 31, 2011, the Company undertook a non‐brokered private placement of 20,200,000 shares at a price of Cdn $0.105 per share for gross proceeds of Cdn $2,121,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to continue diamond drilling to expand the current NI 43‐101 compliant resource at the La Verde project and begin an environmental impact survey. During 2011, the Company plans to drill a minimum of 20,000 meters at La Verde. Additional work planned for 2011 includes environmental studies, metallurgical test work and updating the NI 43‐101 resource estimate to incorporate new drill results. Drilling at La Verde for the 2011 exploration program commenced on January 28, 2011. As of the date of this report twenty‐four holes had been completed for a total of 15,918 meters of the planned 20,000 meter program. ..."

"Catalyst Copper (CCY, TSXV)

Societe Generale has recently come out with the massive 92 page report on where they believe copper is headed in 2012. They start off their report by stating “Copper which is ubiquitous in a wide range of capital and consumer goods, not to mention construction, is generally regarded as the ultimate indicator of trends in manufacturing industries.”

Indeed, watching the copper price is typically a good indicator of the world economy.

However this coming year the telltale sign of the copper price could be misleading. The reason being is that the physical copper market is so tight that prices are expected to stay buoyant. This despite the negativity out of Europe suggesting a recession. China on the other hand will have a slower economy with their growth slowing to 8.1%. This is still great growth which is the saving grace for commodity investors.

So looking ahead copper demand will still outstrip supplies. That’s good for copper producers however exploration and development companies will be hard pressed to get any love in the venture capital market.

A key goal for Catalyst Copper for 2011 was to complete a 20,000 meter drill program which would then be used to update their NI 43-101 resource estimate by yearend. This is still in progress.

Though they have reported a few uninspiring holes, they have also had some stellar results with very lengthy mineralized core.

“Drill holes LV11-026 and LV11-027 were drilled on the East Hill deposit. LV11-026 returned 0.23% copper, 0.042 g/t gold and 2.8 g/t silver over 584.2 meters , including 7.0 meters of 1.49% Cu, 0.012 g/t gold and 30.2 g/t silver and 197.1 meters of 0.36% Cu, 0.108 g/t gold and 3.9 g/t silver. Drill hole LV11-027 returned 0.15% copper, 0.111 g/t gold and 1.2 g/t silver over 23.4 meters.”

The big challenge for many junior exploration companies right now is getting financing. And given the lousy market right now, if they can get financing, many companies are forced to severly dilute the value of their shares.

Case in point, this past August Catalyst closed a non-brokered private placement representing 20,200,000 common shares at a price of $0.105 per share for gross proceeds of $2,121,000. The key buyer was the Radcliffe Foundation, a charitable organization controlled by Frank Giustra. They acquired 12,647,619 common shares of the Company, which, together with the 9,323,000 common shares previously held represents an aggregate of 21,970,619 common shares or 9.12% of the current issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

Considering that the initial private placement done for Catalyst about a year ago was 10 cents, they really haven’t been beaten up too badly. It’s also a good sign that Giustra, who is a highly regarded venture capitalist, is supporting the company at this level. Currently the stock is trading about $0.08 to 0.09 cents. This is not where we would have expected it at the beginning of the year but this is the world we live in today.


About La Verde Copper Property

The Property, located in the Sierra Madre del Sur is approximately 320 km west of Mexico City, consists of two claims, Capire and Unificacion Santa Maria, comprising approximately 17,000 ha. Historically, copper porphyry mineralization has been exposed in a 3 km by 1 km system which is amenable to low-cost open pit mining. There are two main mineralized zones termed East Hill and West Hill which were historically explored with 585 drill holes comprising of nearly 80,000 meters of core. The system is open in all directions including depth. As an added bonus there has been some potential for molybdenum and gold credits as well which could offset the cash costs of production. The project is located in an area with a pre-existing infrastructure: with water, power and rail are all nearby.

Catalyst management believes the two zones may be joined at the base which would make it a monster deposit. If this turns out to be true, it’s likely that Teck will buy back in – and possibly take over Catalyst Copper. If the deposit turns out to be smaller, Catalyst could go ahead and build the mine on its own given that they could finance the project. Given today’s market that could be tough to do.

La Verde property is subject to an option agreement with a Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (Teck) whereby Catalyst's 100% Mexican subsidiary, Minera Hill 29, may earn a 60% interest in La Verde by making US$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures (including 30,000 meters of drilling and 200 kilometers of IP) by December 31, 2012. Upon Catalyst earning a 60% interest, Teck has the option to increase its interest to 60% by incurring aggregate expenditures equal to two times the amount spent by Catalyst. Should Teck fail to exercise its option to earn a 60% interest, Catalyst can acquire a 100% interest in La Verde by paying to Teck US$20 million. The property is subject to an underlying 0.5% NSR.

Now down the road the million dollar question is how will Teck view the deposit? On paper, the key question that CCY management wants to discover is what the mineralization is like at depth. If they can prove the East and West Hill deposits are in fact two mountains of copper, then Teck may back into this deal. So far, some of the drill holes are impressively long. Consistency will be the key and we are still too early on to have a clear picture.

My hope is that the results will intrigue Teck enough to commit to the development of the project. In the current market, it may be financially impossible for CCY to raise the necessary capital on their own to move past the mine feasibility stage. "

Catalyst Copper announces a 71% resource increase for La Verde copper porphyry - Jan 20, 2012
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Catalyst-Copper-announces-71-c…

"VANCOUVER, Jan. 20, 2012 /CNW/ - Catalyst Copper Corp. today announced an updated Measured plus Indicated Resource of 354.1 million tonnes grading 0.41% Cu; 0.043 g/t Au; 2.3 g/t Ag at its La Verde copper porphyry deposit in Michoacán State, Mexico. This represents a 71% increase in tonnage and 54% in contained copper over the previous resource released in January, 2011 (Table 1)


The resource, which was calculated using a 0.2% Cu cut-off, was completed by Wardrop, A Tetra Tech Company (Tetra Tech), and incorporates all drilling results from the 15,819 metres in 24 holes completed by the Company during 2011. This resource now includes gold and silver values not previously modeled as sufficient drill results now exist for these elements.

La Verde consists of two proximal deposits referred to as East Hill and West Hill. The deposits are amenable to low cost open pit mining methods and are located in an area of excellent infrastructure; rail, power, water and highways all cross the property.

"We are extremely pleased with the updated resource numbers," says Terry Hodson, V.P. Exploration. "Drill holes released from the 2011 drill program consistently returned encouraging results and the increased deposit size reflects those drill results. We believe there is still room for further expansion of the total deposit resource and our 2012 drill program will target these areas".

Catalyst Copper plans to use the updated resource to prepare a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for La Verde. Tetra Tech has commenced work on the preparation of preliminary open pit models for the deposits to be used in the PEA.

The 2012 resource was prepared by T. Maunula, P.Geo, Chief Geostatistician Tetra Tech who is an independent qualified person as defined by NI 43-101. The Mineral Resource estimate was completed using a 3D computer model. The drill hole database was based on 637 drill holes for a total of 108,800 meters, 46,105 assays. A composite interval of 5 meters was used and constrained to geological rock types. A single block model (10 x 10 x 10 meters) was created to envelope both mineralized deposits. Block grades were interpolated using the kriging technique. The estimate did not employ a high grade copper cap. A density (specific gravity) of 2.70 g/cm3 was used for the deposit (porphyry style mineralization). All QA/QC requirements have been followed including incorporating standards, blanks and duplicates into the assay procedures and independent check analyses by a second laboratory.

T.W. Hodson, P.Geo. is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed the technical disclosure contained herein and accepts responsibility for such disclosure.

La Verde property is subject to a three year option agreement with a Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (Teck), further details available on the Company's website at www.catalystcopper.com.

Zitat von Popeye82: Im SH wird auch einiges spekuliert ob Baja Mining die irgendwann mal vom Markt nimmt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dafür kann ich nicht einschätzen, aber ich würde es auch nicht ausschliessen, könnte schon einigen Sinn machen.

Zitat von I-Ron: Baja has no intention of investing in Catalyst

Baja's top priority and primary focus is bringing the Boleo mine into full production. While Baja's management has considered investing in Catalyst, Baja has no current intention of doing so. If Baja's intention regarding Catalyst were to change it would only be because the disinterested members of the Board believed such an investment was in the best interests of Baja.

Baja's management is responsible for identifying and considering attractive strategic opportunities to grow Baja's business over the long term, including after the completion of the Boleo project. As a result, from time to time Baja has explored strategic investment opportunities and may do so in the future. This is a normal course of business for a growing development-stage company such as Baja.

Baja's Board is fully qualified and capable of making such strategic decisions, notwithstanding Mount Kellett's contrary suggestions. However, in the interest of allaying any possible concerns, Baja commits that if John Greenslade is CEO of both companies Baja will seek the approval of disinterested shareholders prior to making any investment in Catalyst.

Mount Kellett was misleading on the Catalyst financing

Mount Kellett was misleading in its circular by omitting reference to Catalyst's public disclosure about its financing. Catalyst's disclosure stated that the financing totalled $3.5 million and had been completed. To be clear, this disclosure was made on February 3, 2012, three weeks before Mount Kellett issued its circular.

Rather than cite the facts, Mount Kellett chose to publish false, anonymously-sourced conjecture that the investment was still under consideration and entailed "the $38 million spare cash" available to Baja. Mount Kellett was reckless, especially in the middle of a proxy contest, to publish such conjecture.

Had Mount Kellett only asked, Baja would have responded that the investment under consideration was never more than $5.5 million, and that Baja's management decided not to proceed because the investment would not be timely with respect to the current stage of the Boleo project. Shareholders should wonder why Mount Kellett made no attempt to cite facts in the public domain, and made no attempt to verify conjecture.

Mount Kellett never previously raised concerns about Catalyst

Mr. Greenslade many months ago discussed with Mount Kellett his dual role as CEO of both Baja and Catalyst. Mount Kellett never raised a concern while it...

War der Gedanke scheinbar net ganz verkehrt.

Keine aktuellen Absichten -aber sie haben es sich durch den Kopf gehen lassen/"durchgespielt". Mein Lieblingssatz ist aber "Had Mount Kellett only asked, Baja would have responded that the investment under consideration was never more than $5.5 million, and that Baja's management decided not to proceed because the investment would not be timely with respect to the current stage of the Boleo project" -da brennt gerade ziiiemlich sicher der Weihnachtsbaum.

"VANCOUVER , April 30, 2012 /CNW/ - Catalyst Copper Corp. (the "Company" or "Catalyst") is pleased to announce results from the first five (5) diamond drill holes from its 2012 program at the La Verde copper porphyry project in Michoacán state, Mexico .

The 2012 exploration program is intended to complete all requirements (US$10 million in accumulated expenditures, 200 kilometers of Geophysics (IP) and 30,000 metres of diamond drilling) to earn a 60% interest in the La Verde Project, under its option Agreement with the Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited.

The released holes locations are indicated on the attached map (which includes historic and 2011 drill locations) and the significant results for these holes are included below.

The program is focused on upgrading Inferred Resource to Measured and Indicated status and expanding the mineralization associated with the two known open pitable copper deposits. Catalyst has to date completed 33,890 meters of drilling on the La Verde property, 152 kilometres of IP and has now spent approximately $9,000,000 . It is anticipated that Catalyst will have completed all option agreement requirements by late 3rd quarter of 2012 and thereby will earn a 60% interest in the La Verde deposit

Terry Hodson , Vice-President Exploration of Catalyst stated, "Work to date continues to define and expand known resources at the project. Results from the first holes of 2012 continue to grow the deposit."

Terry Hodson , P.Geo. is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed the technical disclosure contained herein and accepts responsibility for such disclosure.


About La Verde

La Verde is located in an area with excellent infrastructure. Power, rail and water all cross the property. Lazaro Cardenas , Mexico's third largest port on the Pacific coast is 180 km from the site. Significant upside potential remains for the two known zones of porphyry style copper, gold and molybdenum mineralization as the drilling program to date shows both deposits remain open to depth and along strike.

La Verde property is subject to an option agreement with a Mexican subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited (Teck) whereby Catalyst's 100% Mexican subsidiary, Minera Hill 29, may earn a 60% interest in La Verde by making US$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures (including 30,000 meters of drilling and 200 kilometers of IP) by December 31, 2012 . Upon Catalyst earning a 60% interest, Teck has the option to increase its interest to 60% by incurring aggregate expenditures equal to two times the amount spent by Catalyst. Should Teck fail to exercise its option to earn a 60% interest, Catalyst can acquire a 100% interest in La Verde by paying Teck US$20 million. The property is subject to an underlying 0.5% NSR.
