Palladon Ventures Ltd. Closes Purchase of Utah Iron Mine
09:40 EDT Thursday, April 14, 2005

BROOMFIELD, COLORADO--(CCNMatthews - April 14, 2005) - Palladon Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PLL) ("Palladon" or, the "Company") is pleased to announce that it completed the purchase of the Comstock/Mountain Lion Iron Project in Utah (the "Iron Project") on April 13, 2005. The purchase was made possible through an interim secured loan in the net amount of US$9.3 million from Luxor Capital Group, LP and affiliates ("Luxor"). The parties will move toward finalizing the previously announced financing arrangements subject to applicable shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange approvals. Permanent financing will also provide for the completion of the purchase of the interest of Western Utah Copper Company. Title to the Iron Project is now held by the newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Palladon Iron Corporation.

Palladon will continue its work in revising its scoping study and feasibility studies covering the Iron Project to evaluate the most appropriate development and operating scenarios. The Company continues its discussions with potential customers for the purchase of direct shipping ore from the Iron Project, which could be in the form of run-of-mine high-grade material or ore processed through a magnetic separator. The Company will also commence discussions with potential contract mine operators to develop a mine plan under the current mine permit, which remains in force and will be transferred to Palladon now that the acquisition is finalized.

Palladon president George Young said "We are excited to proceed with the development of the project now that the acquisition is completed. We will proceed in a deliberate, logical manner, but the previous work and the overall readiness of the project enhance our ability to move the project forward. We expect to be quite busy in the next few weeks preparing many facets of predevelopment."

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PALLADON VENTURES LTD.

George S. Young, President, Director

jetzt werden die schreiberlinge auf diese noch relativ unbekannte aktie aufmerksam werden

der gutte alte bob moriarty hat schon den anfang gemacht


Excerpts from A Steel of a Deal by: Bob Moriarty
321gold.com/

The New Palladon JV now is the owner of a giant iron project with past production in the district of 80 million tons and a measured resource of about 114 million tons plus a precrushed stockpile of 12 million tons of ore ready to be shipped measuring 42% iron. Estimates made by the previous owner are that the project may contain 300 million to 500 million tons of ore.

Major mine and facilities here for cents on the dollar.

There are three options Palladon can take to make money out of this operation and I fully expect them to use all three at one time or another.

1. There is 12 million tons of easily loaded, already crushed iron ore grading an average 42% Fe. With iron running $75 a ton, I expect George to get the Mountain Lion Mine into shipping the stockpiled ore within a few months of closing. My guess is that the ore will be worth $20 to $30 FOB railhead. George threw out the figure of $1 a ton to move it into railcars but I`d use a figure of $1.50 to $2 a ton to load it. That gives around a 90-95% margin, which sure beats a red-hot stick in the left eyeball. His cost of getting the crusher and loader back into operation would be well under $500,000 US.

With a train holding up to 100 cars and limited to 180,000 pounds per car, Palladon could be filling and shipping a full trainload of iron ore every three days at 9000 tons per train to achieve the 1 million ton per year goal. I know they will do this because it generates cash and all the other alternatives generate more profit total but require both time to plan and money to create.

2. An alternative to shipping what is relatively low-grade ore is to build a processing plant to upgrade the material to produce iron nuggets. When you ship 42% Fe, you also ship 58% waste rock. And shipping is a giant component of the price of steel. Ocean Freight rates were as low as $10-$15 a ton up until 2002 when increased Chinese demand for all raw commodities caused rates to increase up to 400%. Freight was often the biggest cost in both grains and iron shipments.

By building a facility to process pelletized ore through the " Mesabi Nugget ITmk3" process (sorta rolls off your tongue, doesn`t it?) Palladon could create a 96% Fe nugget suitable for shipping directly to steel mills anywhere within economic shipping distance. The plant would add a lot to capital costs but would cut shipping costs 50% and add great value to the ore. The " nuggets" would be suitable for direct feed into other steel mills across the country.

3. The third alternative probably makes the most sense but costs the most money. That is to build a modern state-of-the-art steel mill next to the rail loading facility and go into production of cold rolled steel with a value of $700 a ton and produce 1 million tons of steel a year.

George estimates a cost of slightly over $1 billion to build but the ROI would be incredible. Palladon would have a giant-sized competitive advantage due to the central location with cheap rail cost to the West Coast markets.

George`s Power Point presentation where he briefed the Governor of Utah and his staff on February 4th and a brilliant report.

It`s a pretty easy concept to understand if you have all the written materials. But nothing beats a physical visit to the site. Dr Wray`s report compared the Net Present Value (NPV) of the mine/1 million ton mill to both a copper mine/mill and a gold mine/mill. If you compared it to the copper producer, the copper mill would ship 220,000 mt/yr and have a NPV of $35.2 billion over the 50 year life of mine and the gold company would produce 1.6 million ounces a year over its 50 year life with a NPV of the same $35 billion. Clearly the iron project involves some giant numbers. The biggest difference is that banks will easily finance steel projects over gold projects.

You can see the dumps from quite a distance but don`t get a feel for the size of the operation until you get closer. By the time we got within range of the crushing and loading facility, I realized it was really a big operation.

I`m not a mining engineer but I`d guess there is some $2-$5 million in loading equipment and three sets of tracks in the railroading siding. All that costs money to buy and time to build. The day Palladon closes on this deal, it all belongs to them.

We looked over the conveyor system and rail loading facility and then went up the hill to look at the mine. It really is an impressive operation. There is a giant stockpile of ore right next to the conveyor system and it`s easy to see how they could have ore shipping in a matter of a few months.

It`s easy to see the high-grade iron ore in the stripped areas. This is a mine with a mine plan, a permit and it`s ready to rock and roll

Group lands loan for Geneva mine
Palladon: Plans to build a $1B mill near Cedar City

By Steven Oberbeck
The Salt Lake Tribune

Palladon Ventures Ltd. said it has closed on its nearly $10 million acquisition of an idle iron mine near Cedar City from the bankrupt Geneva Steel.
Broomfield, Colo.-based Palladon said it secured an interim loan from Luxor Capital Group, a $700 million private equity fund based in New York that will now be its partner in the iron ore mining operation.
The company is in contact with potential customers interested in purchasing ore from the mine, Palladon President George Young said. In addition, the company intends to begin discussions with outside mining companies that may be interested in operating the mine under contract.
Young earlier this year indicated that Palladon, a company whose shares closed Thursday at 71 cents on the Toronto Venture Exchange, hopes eventually to build a $1 billion steel mill adjacent to the mine site.
"We believe we can put a mill near the site and that with the close proximity of the iron ore deposits, operate a modern facility with significantly lower costs than the industry standard," he said.
Geneva Steel Chief Executive Ken Johnsen confirmed that Palladon met the deadline to finance the property.
Geneva Steel, through its Iron Ore Mines subsidiary, last operated the property in 1995.
Geneva had a problem with the ore. It was expensive to use because it contained high amounts of alkalies and phosphates and had to be blended with other components before it could be used in the company`s blast furnaces, Johnsen said.
"I don`t know anything about what its [Palladon`s] business plan entails, but there are new technologies out that that may change that [cost] equation."
Young said the company now can proceed toward finalizing the financing with Luxor and arranging to secure the necessary approvals for the acquisition from its shareholders and the Toronto Venture Exchange.

Palladon Ventures Ltd. Announces Contract to Sell One Million Metric Tons of Iron Ore
BROOMFIELD, COLORADO--(CCNMatthews - Aug. 2, 2005) - Palladon Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PLL) (the " Company" ) announced that it has entered into a contract to sell one million metric tons of iron ore over the twelve month period commencing September, 2005 to a Chinese purchaser. Ore will be mined, crushed and magnetically treated from the Comstock/Mountain Lion Iron Project in Utah, transported by rail over the Union Pacific railroad running adjacent to the mine, and loaded on the customer`s ships at the port in Richmond, California for shipment to Chinese ports. Palladon is making final arrangements with its mining contractor, Gilbert Engineering, to commence mining and treatment of ores in August, and with the railroad and port, to commence shipment as soon as possible thereafter.

The contract provides for standard commercial terms including the posting of a letter of credit by the customer, and pricing is in line with the current strong market for iron ores in China. Specific pricing terms of the contract have not been disclosed at this time, pending additional negotiations on other supply contracts being discussed. Based on mining and treatment costs and the quoted costs for shipping and handling, Palladon expects to generate substantial cash flow from the contract.

Palladon President George Young said, " The sales contract represents a significant step for the Company. Revenues from this contract will help strengthen our balance sheet, and in turn will enable us to advance with feasibility work on the iron project in evaluating other avenues of development. We will also be better enabled to continue with our exploration and development work at the Western Utah Copper District and on our gold projects in Nevada and Argentina."

1 mio tonnen sind locker 25 mio us dollar wert , und , weil das zeug da schon auf stockpiles rumliegt halten sich sogar die kosten in grenzen !
das gebiet ist eine ehemalig mine und verfügt über eine hervorragende infrastruktur !

das heisst der gewinn dürfte allein für diese erste mio tonnen schon bei 15 mio dollar liegen !

PLL IST MOMENTAN ABER NUR MIT RUND 18 MIO DOLLAR BEWERTET !!

das enstspricht einem KGV von ca 1,8 !!
in dieser branche ist ein KGV von 10-15 nicht unüblich !
