Aurora Gold Removes Illegal Miners in Indonesia
PERTH, June 13 Asia Pulse - Aurora Gold Ltd, a Perth-based miner, today said all illegal miners had been removed from the mining areas at its Mt Muro gold operation in Indonesia.
Aurora`s chief operating officer for Indonesia, Joe Ariti, said that government authorities, helped by a task force of local villages, had re-established access to the Permata-Batu Badinding-Hulubai (PBH) mining area at Mt Muro on June 9 and mining activities began on Sunday, June 11.

The clearance of the PBH mining area follows the resumption of mining in March at the Kerikil and Serujan East pits.

Mr Ariti said the government`s actions confirmed the commitment by President Wahid`s government and local authorities to control widespread illegal mining and would also allow the company to resume multi-pit operations throughout the Mt Muro contract of work (CoW).

Aurora also confirmed that the Director General of Mines in Indonesia has authorised the relinquishment of one third of the Mt Muro CoW area.

Although this area contains mineralisation, Aurora said it is not in the current mine plan.

The relinquished land allows Aurora`s Indonesian operator of the Mt Muro mine, PT Indo Muro Kencana`s (PT IMK), to meet its commitment to allow the establishment of people`s mining areas for traditional Dayak miners within the Mt Muro CoW.

Aurora shares were steady at 16 cents at 11.43 AEST.

Response to Proposed Takeover Offer

RESPONSE TO PROPOSED TAKEOVER OFFER

Aurora Gold Ltd has been advised that a subsidiary of Tomorrow
Limited, a company backed by Sir Ron Brierley`s Guinness Peat Group
plc, intends to make an unsolicited and conditional takeover offer
for all the shares in Aurora at a price of 10 cents per share.

Aurora believes that the proposed offer price is demonstrably
inadequate as it does not reflect the underlying value of Aurora
shares.

The Chairman of Aurora, Mr Rory Argyle, said today:

"Aurora has a cash asset backing per share of 16.5 cents, a producing
gold mine at Mt Muro in Indonesia and the Morobe Gold Project in PNG,
which is in the final stages of feasibility assessment. We have also
recently announced an exciting and prospective new find at Lake Carey
here in Australia."

"For some time now, Aurora`s share price has been suffering from a
substantial overhang in the market because Rio has been known to be
looking for an exit for its 35% shareholding which it acquired as an
indirect result of the Ashton Mining takeover."

"The conditional sale of part of its shareholding by Rio at 10 cents
and the proposed 10 cent cash offer do not reflect the underlying
value of Aurora. It would appear, given the size of Rio, that the
objective of exiting from Aurora has outweighed the need to secure a
price that reflects underlying value."

Aurora shareholders are advised not to sell their shares or to take
any action pending receipt of further advice from the directors of
Aurora. Shareholders should note that they will have a considerable
period of time to consider the offer and any alternative offers which
may emerge.

Gresham Advisory Partners Limited and Freehills have been retained as
advisors to Aurora in relation to the proposed offer and any other
proposals that may be put to Shareholders.

Hallo, nur zum nachdenken,
Auroro Gold heute zwischen 15-40% an den einzelen
Borsen gestiegen.

[alterhaase]

in letzter Zeit kam mir ein Barabfindungsangebot für meine aurora auf den tisch,

da läuft was !

[fuj]

Wie Hoch!!
Unter 1Euro läuft nichts, würde ich sagen.

Gruß fuj

[schloss]

ein paar facts.

Aurora schließt seine einzig laufende Mine (Mt. Muro) voraussichtlich im Juni 2002. (wenigstens profitabel)
Das Morobe Projekt in Papua wird verkauft.
Lake Carey in AUS (Gold Kupfer und Basismetalle) ist noch vor Abschluss von Wirtschaftlichkeitsstudien.

Positiv sind die geringen Schulden, das aufgelöste Hedgebook, beträchtlicher Cash.

Ansonsten passt Aurora genau ins Bild der anderen australischen Goldwerte...mau!

[Shunga]

Macht es AURORA wie Kidston?

Oder werden die wieder aktiv?

Hallo,
ich habe leider keinen Plan was ich mit diesen

Kann mir mal jemand einen guten Tip geben?

HOMEX - Perth

+++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Directors of Abelle Limited ("Abelle") and Aurora Gold Ltd
("Aurora") are pleased to announce that agreement has been reached to
merge the two companies.

The proposed Abelle-Aurora merger will be implemented by way of a
Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme"). Under the terms of the proposed
Scheme, Aurora shareholders will receive five Abelle shares and one
30 June 2007 Abelle option exercisable at $0.30 for every ten Aurora
shares. The proposed merger will result in Aurora shareholders
holding an approximate 50% interest in the expanded issued share
capital of Abelle comprising approximately 160 million shares and 76
million 2007 options.

The merged entity will be debt free with in excess of $22 million in
cash.

The proposed merger is supported by both Boards and by the major
shareholders of Aurora and Abelle.

THE MERGED GROUP

The proposed merger will create a substantial Australian listed gold
producer.

The merged entity will have Australian gold production of
approximately 70,000oz pa from the Gidgee Mine, a 50% interest and
management in the large Morobe gold project, and a 100% interest in
the Wafi gold and Wafi porphyry copper deposits near Lae in eastern
Papua New Guinea.

The merged entity will have an identified Mineral Resource containing
8.1 million ounces of gold, 71 million ounces of silver and 1.3
million tonnes of copper metal.

MOROBE

The Morobe project (50% Aurora) has an identified global Mineral
Resource (100%) of 5.23 million ounces of gold and 71 million ounces
of silver.* A feasibility study is near completion and the project
(100%) is expected to be capable of producing 300,000 ounces of gold
and 4.5 million ounces of silver per annum at a cash operating cost
from US$165 to US$175 per gold equivalent ounce for approximately 10
years. Morobe ore is free milling and significant potential to
increase the size and term of the project exists within the titles.

WAFI GOLD RESOURCE

The Wafi project (100% Aurora), which is in the advanced exploration
phase, has an identified Mineral Resource of 3 million ounces of
gold.** The primary gold ore at Wafi is refractory in nature and
significant potential for additional discoveries is considered to
exist. The 1997 drilling programme within the epithermal gold
resource at Wafi drilled between Zone A and Zone B to test continuity
and discovered the high grade Link Zone. Results from this drill
programme included 70 metres at 11 g/t gold and 86 metres at 5.7 g/t
gold in adjacent holes.

WAFI COPPER/GOLD RESOURCES

In addition to the gold resource at Wafi, the diatreme structure
hosts a substantial porphyry copper-gold resource from which drilling
has determined an identified Mineral Resource of 100 million tonnes
at 1.3% copper and 0.6 g/t Au for a contained 1.3 million tonnes of
copper metal and 1.9 million ounces of gold.

The Abelle management team believes that exploration within this
highly mineralised epithermal diatreme is in its infancy and that
further gold and copper-gold discoveries are likely. Further, a
limited amount of exploration work can add to the value of this
already significant project and may, in due course, lead to a
development proposal allowing sequential extraction of the gold and
copper/gold resources.

GIDGEE

The Gidgee Gold Project at Sandstone is currently producing at
approximately 70,000oz per annum. The merged group will continue with
its present strategy of developing the underground mining operations
with the objective of establishing an operation which produces
100,000 ounces of gold per year.

The Gidgee Gold Project has a total Mineral Resource of approximately
600,000 ounces of gold.***

*** Refer Abelle Prospectus dated 15 March 2002

BOARD AND MANAGEMENT

Abelle will be the parent company of the merged group. The Board of
Abelle will invite two members of the Aurora Board to become
directors of Abelle.

Mr Peter Cook will also be appointed a director of Abelle following
the merger. Mr Cook was the Managing Director of Hill 50 Ltd. His
agreement to join the Board will see the former Hill 50 management
team join with Aurora and take over the operational and corporate
management of the merged entity.

BENEFITS OF THE MERGER

The directors of Abelle and Aurora believe the merger will add value
to the interests of shareholders of both companies. Key benefits of
the merger are:

* Creation of a group with a market capitalisation approximating $100
million;

* Likely increase in institutional investor interest due to market
relevance;

* Attractive blend of existing gold production, a development project
and advanced exploration interests which have the potential to turn
the group into a significant gold producer;

* Sound financial resources;

* No debt;

* Substantial unhedged gold resources; and

* Growth oriented management with a track record of delivering
outstanding results for shareholders.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MERGER

Abelle and Aurora have today signed an Implementation Agreement which
proposes the companies merge by Scheme of Arrangement.

Key conditions of the Implementation Agreement (some of which may be
waived) are as follows:

* approval of Aurora shareholders in accordance with the Corporations
Act;

* receipt of all necessary regulatory and third party approvals,
including approval of the Court under the Corporations Act;

* no material adverse change (as defined in the Agreement) affecting
the assets or financial position of Aurora or Abelle occurring prior
to the meeting at which Aurora shareholders` approval will be
sought;

* no "prescribed occurrences" (being broadly the events set out in
section 652(C)(1) and (2) of the Corporations Act) affecting Aurora
or Abelle, arising prior to the date Court approval is sought;

* no superior competing proposals (as defined in the Agreement) for
Aurora or Abelle are made or announced.

The Implementation Agreement also contains restrictions on the
ability to solicit competing proposals from other parties.

Break fees of less than 1% of the transaction value may be payable to
either party if the Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances.

ADVICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

In the coming weeks, Aurora shareholders can expect to receive full
details of the Scheme in advance of a shareholder meeting to approve
the Scheme, which is likely to be held in October or November.

Shareholders of Aurora do not need to take any action at this stage
in relation to the proposed merger.

Aurora Gold merges with Abelle

A merger of Aurora Gold Ltd and Abelle Ltd will create a $60 million company with

about 3,500 shareholders.

The two gold miners announced their intention to merge in August by way of a scheme of arrangement under which Aurora shareholders would receive five Abelle shares and one option for every 10 Aurora shares held.

The proposed deal would result in Aurora becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Abelle and being delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

Former shareholders will end up with about 50 per cent of the expanded issued share capital of Abelle and about 21 per cent of the Abelle options.

In an explanatory statement released on Friday, Aurora said the merger would create a debt-free company with a cash balance of about $19 million.

It would also have greater market relevance with a market capitalisation of more than $60 million, about double what Aurora was worth when the deal was announced.

"With the mix of assets at various states of development, geographic diversification and an increased shareholder base and market capitalisation, an investment in the merged group is expected to have broader market appeal to a wider range of investors and may attract further institutional interest due to its improved relevance," Aurora said.

An expanded Abelle, to be headed by former Hill 50 boss Peter Cook, will hold a suite of gold assets, including Abelle`s Gidgee underground mine in WA, Aurora`s Morobe and Wafi projects in Papua New Guinea and Aurora`s Australian projects.

Aurora said given the closure of its Mt Muro gold mine in Indonesia in July, it had no producing operations and therefore no cash flow.

"Abelle`s Gidgee project is expected to provide this cash flow," it said.

Abelle produced 14,239 ounce in the September quarter, resulting in a cash operating surplus of $2.25 million.

Aurora attempted to sell its Morobe project earlier this year as part of a plan to refocus on its Australian assets.

However the company was unsuccessful and terminated the sale process in July.

It said that if its merger with Abelle did not go ahead, it would consider pursuing the development Morobe, which contained 5.23 million ounces of gold and 71 million ounces of silver, and exploration of Wafi in a stand-alone entity.

Shareholders will vote on the proposed merger on January 9.

Aurora shares closed on Friday one cent softer at 19 cents. Abelle was steady at 42 cents.

Nu hab ich es schriftlich von meiner Bank:

Für jeweils 1 Aktie WKN 889 151 erhalten Sie 5 Aktien WKN 632 933 und 1 Option (WKN 622 457) der Abelle Ltd.
zum Preis von AUD 0,30.

Aber der Abelle-Kurs liegt doppelt so hoch, wie bei
Aurora. Und dann noch 5X mehr Aktien??
Hört sich ja richtig prima an

@ Br00ker,

...wer will nochmal - wer hat noch nicht?

heute ist der letzte tag, wo aurora gehandelt wird.
dank gewinnmitnahmen in australien ging der kurs auch bei uns um 1 cent nach unten.
kauft, leute, kauft!

übrigens, die neue wkn von abelle lautet 632 933
und die der os 622 457
beides ist hier in good ol germany noch nicht gelistet.

adios, aurora !

[josieR]

übrigens gibt es für 10 auroras 5 abelle und 1 Option, nicht das da ein falscher Eindruck entsteht

Josie

[Tsuba]

was ist draus geworden?

Aurora ist heute Abelle WN 632933.

Harmony hat 87% an Abelle erworben

mit Abfindungsangebot 0,75 A$.

Die komplette Marktkapitalisierung ABELLE

dürfte so circa 200 Mio A$ sein.



Es sind also noch ca. 26 Mio A$ im Freefloat.

Gleich nach der "Übernahme" zu 0,75 A$

stieg der restliche Freeflaot auf zur Zeit 0,86 A$.

M. E. starten der Freefloat-Rest jetzt erst richtig.

Ob das so kommen wird, muß sich erst zeigen.



Die gründe liegen natürlich hauptsächlich in

der fundamentalen Qualität von Abelle,

aber auch daran, wofür Harmony dieses Engagement

einging. Anscheinend ist für Harmony nicht die

zuvor übernommene Hill50 sondern Abelle das neue

Standbein außerhalb Südafrika. Hedgefree und schuldenfrei.

Wie lange werden die 13% Aktien noch gehandelt ???
oder wieviel % muss Harmony noch erwerben.
