Orbite - Diskussion zum Rohstoffwert - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[muenchenguru]

Mich hat es überrascht dass Orbite noch keinen Thread hat. Gut, WKN hat sich geändert, habe aber weder bei der alten noch bei der neuen WKN ein Thema entdeckt.
Meine kurze Synopsis, Orbite hat 3 Standbeine, einmal das Tonerde Projekt , mit dem sie den regionalen Aluminium-Markt versorgen wollen. Ggü. Bauxit hat es Kostenvorteile , die sich v.a. auch durch den schnelleren u. günstigeren Transportwege bemerkbar machen. Denn die lokalen Alu-Schmelzen in Quebec haben einen Marktanteil v. 12 % weltweit ! u. sie müssen bisher das Bauxit aus Übersee beziehen (Brasilien, AUS).
Möglich wird dies durch ein eigens entwickeltes Verfahren (Patent besteht), das die gesamte Alu-Bauxit-Welt ziemlich aufmischen könnte bzw. wird.
Ein ganz wichtiger Grund ist auch die Umweltverträglichkeit, bei dem Verfahren fallen keine giftigen Metallstäube an (siehe Unfall in Ungarn letztes Jahr. Man nennt ihn "roter Staub" , er enthält giftige Schwermetalle u. fällt aber bei Orbite gar nicht an.

Als 3.Standbein wäre zu nennen, dass Orbite in den hochlukrativen Markt v. Rein-Alu (High-Purity Alu) eindringt , das u.a. bei soviel ich weiß allen Arten v. Leuchtdioden gebraucht wird.
Auch Gallium u. Scandium kann Orbite in signifikaten MEngen produzieren.

Ich habe das jetzt aus dem Gedächtnis wiedergegeben, sollten FEhler enthalten sein, so möchte ich mich vorab entschuldigen u. bitten diese rückzumelden.

“Game-changing” technologies

Orbite owns a proprietary and potentially “game-changing” process to extract alumina from aluminous clay deposits that is significantly more economical compared to conventional methods. Separate processes also extract high-purity alumina and a range of high-value elements, including rare earths. The company’s intellectual property is well protected for 20 years in Canada, the United States and around the world by a robust portfolio of patents and patents pending. As “game changers,” these technologies also offer significant licensing potential internationally. Orbite’s alumina extraction technology has been proven in the lab and pilot plant, and is now ready for commercial roll-out.

Strategic resource

An independent geologist, Jean-Guy Levaque, B.Sc.A., P.Eng., has surveyed Orbite’s Grande-Vallée property in Gaspé, Québec. A conservative estimate based on his findings indicates 1 billion tonnes of “indicated mineral resources” in the first 100 metres depth of one sector of the property alone. The property is strategically located near a road and close to a year-round deepwater seaport, giving access to domestic and export markets. The wealth stored on this property could provide much-needed jobs and investment to the economically depressed Gaspé region, and aligns well with the Québec government’s priorities for job creation and value-added processing in the strategic aluminum sector.

Growing markets

Orbite’s key products—metallurgical grade alumina, high-purity alumina and various high-value elements, including rare earths—are in growing demand around the world.

Experienced management

The Orbite executive team and Board of Directors are primarily made up of achievers with a known capacity to deliver. They are repeat entrepreneurs who have long track records of success in bringing new technologies to market, launching start-ups, and managing large and complex enterprises. They also have hands-on, long-standing experience in the mining, environment, government and community relations, and aluminum sectors.

Orbite Releases Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for Its Planned Metallurgical Grade Alumina Plant With the Capacity to Extract Value-Added Oxides, Rare Metals and Rare Earth Oxides
http://at.marketwire.com/accesstracking/AccessTrackingLogSer…

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/11 -- Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT) ("Orbite") is pleased to announce the results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") prepared by Genivar Inc. on its planned commercial metallurgical grade alumina (SGA) production plant (the "Plant"). Orbite plans to produce an estimated 539,700 tonnes per year of alumina, 189,000 tonnes of pure hematite, 1.2 million tonnes of high purity silica, 28,000 tonnes of magnesium oxides, 104,000 tonnes of other value-added oxides, and 820 tonnes of rare metal and rare earth oxides, including, among others, dysprosium, erbium, europium, yttrium, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium, and terbium, and rare metals such as gallium and scandium.

All figures are in Canadian dollars except where noted.

Highlights

-- Indicated resource of approximately 1 billion metric tonnes of
homogeneous aluminous clay (23.13% average concentration alumina) as per
NI 43-101.
-- Based on conservative metal oxides selling prices (August 2011) and a 5%
discount rate, the PEA reveals a pre-tax net present value (NPV) of $7.7
billion, generating an internal rate of return ("IRR") of 114% and a
payback of under one year.
-- Average production cost:
-- $44.53 / tonne of clay for all foreseen products;
-- $42.71 / tonne of clay for alumina and hematite alone.
-- Feasibility Study underway with contract awarded to Genivar Inc. and
expected to be completed during the first half of 2012, with planned
commissioning in late 2013.


"The operations outlined in this PEA for Orbite's metallurgical grade alumina plant forecasted for initial production through the end of 2013 confirms the potential for high-value, low net production cost alumina and other value-added products. The projected high NPV, net cash flows, and relatively low unit cost compared to standard existing alumina processes provide strategic positioning for Orbite and its planned SGA production plant," said Richard Boudreault, Orbite's President and CEO. "Aluminum is the second most used metal after iron. We are therefore establishing the basis of our unique alumina extraction process and paving the way for the production of metallurgical alumina to meet growing demand from the global aluminium industry. This PEA also explains the net advantages of using an eco-friendly process while extracting high purity value-added products.

"We are pleased with the level of expertise and rigor of all of the parties involved in the Preliminary Economic Assessment of the planned metallurgical alumina production plant," continued Mr. Boudreault. "The exercise has also provided us with considerable insight into potential opportunities for further improvement of the already attractive economics. These include adapting existing technologies (i.e. calcination and acid recovery) and finding new ways to extract high purity products in addition to the alumina, while gaining considerable energy efficiency and thus greatly simplifying the process flow sheet. These opportunities will be validated during the Feasibility Study phase, which is ongoing at Genivar. The relatively low operating unit cost of production coupled with a much lower capital cost requirement than standard alumina greenfield projects using existing processes mean that this operation has the potential to be highly profitable in rapid time due to our unique alumina extraction process."

The table below summarizes the highlights of the PEA (all currency is CAN$, pre-tax):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
NPV at 5% discount rate $7.7 billion
------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRR 114%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Estimated CAPEX $498.5 million
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenues to be generated by 2013-2014
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payback 11.0 months
------------------------------------------------------------------------


"We are impressed by Orbite's visionary process, which is capable of refining alumina while at the same time extracting other high purity oxides, silica and hematite as well as certain high-value rare elements and metals from a local Gaspesian source of clay," said Andre-Martin Bouchard, Eng., Vice President at Genivar. "In addition, the process deploys technologies that will ensure that the local environment will be preserved, compared to current alumina refining processes, thus ensuring the sustainable development of the Gaspe region. We have also looked at the economics of producing and marketing only alumina and hematite, to validate the robustness of the project. In this case, the IRR was 33%, with an NPV of 1.7 B$ and a payback of 3.1 years at a 5% discount rate, demonstrating a strong business case."

Patented technology

Orbite owns the intellectual property rights to a unique Canada and U.S. patented process, a radical innovation aimed at extracting alumina from aluminous ores and for which international patents are also pending in many other countries, such as Brazil, Russia, Australia and Japan as well as in Europe. The patented Orbite process has the potential to become a viable alternative to the industry standard Bayer and other alumina processes, resulting in significant revenues when the technology is licensed to qualified alumina producers. Orbite is planning on marketing smelter grade alumina (SGA), high purity hematite, magnesium oxide, and silica, as well as producing rare earths oxides. Orbite also has several other patents pending related to various processes for producing such products.

Based on the chemical and metallurgical work completed at Orbite's production pilot plant facility and taking advantage of adaptable technologies for the acid recovery systems, the PEA estimated that the process is expected to yield an average of 93% weight recovery of Al2O3, higher than 90% on hematite, magnesium oxides, and high purity silica, and a conservative 75% for the extraction of rare earths, namely dysprosium, erbium, europium, yttrium, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium, and terbium, and rare metals such as gallium and scandium.

Details and assumptions

Total initial capital expenditures (including contingency) are estimated at $498.5 million to produce alumina and other value-added products. The initial capital cost estimate excludes mine closure costs and sustaining capital. Costs for mining equipment and all required infrastructures are included in the capital expenditure costs. The initial assessment of the preferred port facility suggests that sufficient capacity currently exists for the planned initial production. Energy supply represents one of the key elements of the Orbite project, as with all mining, chemical and hydrometallurgical projects. For the purpose of this study, electrical power and natural gas, which is known to be present but not readily available in the mining site vicinity, have been used as the reference energy source. The Henry Hub Index (September 2011) is used as the reference for natural gas prices. A $4.00/GJ has been used for the PEA evaluation.

CAPEX preliminary evaluation:

Summary of estimated initial capital costs Million $
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mining, environmental, tailings 33.8
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major buildings and process equipment 335.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plant infrastructure 24.2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other infrastructures 45.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contingency 60.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 498.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Consistent with industry practices, this PEA has been prepared with an accuracy of +/-30%. As the project progresses through the ongoing feasibility stage, advancement in the basic engineering will improve the accuracy to approximately +/-15%.

The Feasibility Study scope of work involves a comprehensive review of all project characteristics-from process validation to capital costs, operational costs, and basic engineering leading to the detailed engineering, marketing, environmental, health & safety, and other considerations-in order to further validate and integrate the various technical aspects of the project. The Feasibility Study report is expected to be published during the first half of 2012.

Resumption: At Open

[rolleg]

Oh - jetzt wollte ich auch mal einen Thread eröffnen und dann gibts den schon. ORT wurde vor Monaten (Februar oder März) schon mal intensiv im Thread von TimLuca vorgstellt, hat aber niemanden interessiert (ausser mir)

Leider hatte ich da zu früh zugegriffen und war zwischenzeitlich schon 70% im roten Bereich...

So wollte ich den Thread eigentlich eröffnen:

Ich habe vor ein paar Tagen einen Beitrag zur Aluminium-Erzeugung auf Kabel1 oder N24 gesehen (weiß es nicht mehr genau).

Was Euch natürlich schon bekannt ist - Aluminium wird aus Bauxit gewonnen. Der größte Teil wird im Moment (so weit mir bekannt) in China gefördert. In Form von Alumnina (sieht wie grauer "Puderzucker" aus) wird es dann nach Island verschifft (da war es dann 2 Wochen auf der "Reise"), weil die Erzeugung von Aluminum mit einem sehr hohem Energieaufwand einhergeht. In Island dagegen gibt es durch die vielen natürlichen Resourcen (Wasser, Geothermie) "billige" Energie. Hier wird dann recht aufwändig Aluminium produziert (konnte mir leider den Firmannamen nicht merken).

Kurzer Excess:
Bauxit wird in Druckbehältern bei 150 bis 200 °C in Natronlauge erhitzt, wobei Aluminium als Aluminat in Lösung geht und vom eisenreichen Rückstand (Rotschlamm) abfiltriert wird (Bayer-Verfahren). Aus der Aluminatlauge scheidet sich beim Abkühlen und Zufügung von feinem Aluminiumhydroxid als Kristallisationskeim reiner Gibbsit ab, der durch Glühen in Aluminiumoxid Al2O3 umgewandelt wird. Das Aluminiumoxid wird unter Zusatz von Kryolith als Schmelzmittel bei etwa 1000 °C geschmolzen und in Elektrolyse-Zellen bei hohem Energieeinsatz zu metallischem Aluminium reduziert (Hall-Héroult-Prozess, Schmelzflusselektrolyse).
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauxit

Der Nebeneffekt beim Abbau von Bauxit soll der so genannte rote Schlamm (red mud) sein, welcher hoch giftig sein soll! Orbite hat....
... den Rest kann ich mir ja jetzt sparen...

Hi Rolleg,

willkommen hier an Board.
Ich halte Orbite für eine der aussichtsreichsten Werte im Rohstoffsektor, die ich zumindest kenne.

Aus dem neuesten Jennings Report (bitte googeln) :

Rare Earths Drive Exceptional Economics: The rare
metal and rare earth oxides include dysprosium, erbium,
europium, yttrium, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium, and
terbium, as well as rare metals such as gallium and
scandium, and account for approximately 55.9% of the
projected average annual revenues derived from a
539,700 tonne alumina plant. These byproducts can be
produced at minimal incremental cost.

Orbite Awards Alumina Calcination and Its Acid Recovery Basic Engineering Contract to Outotec

Alumina production combined with hydrochloric acid recovery integration will also enable Orbite to recover important quantities of other value added elements from the process

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/orbite-awards-alumin…
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Dec. 7, 2011) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT) ("Orbite") announces that it has awarded Outotec, a leading global provider of sustainable process solutions, technologies and services for the minerals and metals industries, a contract to perform the basic engineering of its metallurgical grade alumina calcination process and its associated hydrochloric acid recovery.

Basic engineering will ensure a high level of hydrochloric acid recovery to produce suitable high-quality alumina for aluminum smelters. Additionally, Outotec will provide key elements needed to incorporate the calcination process into the ongoing Feasibility Study (FS) previously announced. The basic engineering report is expected to be completed in the first half of 2012.

"Orbite's unique extraction process is truly revolutionary in that it has the potential to become an economically and ecologically viable substitute to the Bayer process, which has been the main industrial method of refining bauxite for the production of alumina for more than 100 years," said Michael Missalla, Outotec vice-president light metals / fluidized beds. "Outotec has the expertise, experience and cost-effective technologies to perform calcination and acid recovery of alumina from Orbite's process."

"Outotec's proven expertise on calcination processes with demonstrated efficient energy consumption and high heat recovery, combined with the hydrochloric acid recovery, constitutes an excellent asset for Orbite. Outotec is a world leader in calcination processes and has proven its capability to successfully process Orbite's raw material with their circulating fluid bed system," said Richard Boudreault, Orbite president and CEO.

Combined with SMS-Siemag's proven hydrothermal technology for both hematite production and low temperature hydrochloric acid recovery, the calcination of alumina will close the important and essential acid recovery portion of Orbite's process. An ongoing feasibility study will integrate all sub-systems together while further optimization of process parameters is underway in different locations in Europe.

"Outotec's expertise has proven successful worldwide and will allow Orbite to produce high-quality alumina. Outotec's experience will facilitate the integration of circulating fluid bed operational units within Orbite's process on a commercial scale", said Richard Boudreault.

Jennings Top Pick for 2012

Orbite Aluminae is a Québec-based resource / chemical / technology company whose two flagship

assets consist of: (1) patented and patent pending processes to extract metallurgical and high-purity

alumina, as well as other valuable byproducts from aluminous clays, and (2) a 6,441-hectare Grande-

Vallée property situated in Québec’s Gaspe Peninsula, which contains a sizable aluminous clay deposit

(1 Bln tonnes).

We believe that Orbite is poised to revolutionize the aluminum industry with its alumina process patented

technology. The Company has produced both high-purity and metallurgical grade alumina using its

proprietary technology at its 100%-owned industry-scale Cap-Chat facility since February 2011.

Metallurgical Grade Alumina

Metallurgical alumina or smelter grade alumina (SGA) is an essential ingredient in the production of

aluminum; approximately two tonnes of metallurgical alumina is required to produce one tonne of

aluminum. Orbite’s aluminous clay deposit and the planned site location for its first SGA plant are

situated within 20 km of a ship loading facility situated on tidal waters and within a 70 km radius of

10 aluminum smelters in Québec (plus two more in New York State), representing an alumina market of

approximately 5.5 million tonnes, or 12% of global aluminum consumption. These smelters currently

import alumina from such distant countries as Australia, Jamaica and Brazil.

According to a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) prepared by Genivar Inc. and based on the

production of alumina and hematite alone, a single Orbite planned alumina plant is estimated to have an

NPV(5%) of C$1.7 billion (versus capex of C$498.5 million), an IRR of 33%, and a payback of 3.1 years.

This is based on an annual plant capacity of 539,700 tonnes of alumina and an average cash cost of

approximately C$210 per tonne (this would put Orbite’s cash cost in the lowest quartile for global alumina

producers). Furthermore, Orbite’s process appears to be much more environmentally friendly relative to

the Bayer process, which produces a toxic red mud (for example, the failure of a tailings damn at Magyar

Aluminum in Hungary in October 2010 resulted in deaths and considerable damage to surrounding

communities). Orbite’s process does not produce red mud and it is expected that better than 90% of the

acid used in the leaching process will be recovered.

To date, two independent organizations (Norwegian-based leading independent international research

organization SINTEF and the Institute of Scientific Research - Energy, Materials and Communications)

have successfully produced aluminum from Orbite’s alumina, confirming the quality of Orbite’s

metallurgical alumina. Orbite anticipates commencing construction of its first metallurgical plant in 2012

and commencing production in late 2013.

High-Purity Grade Alumina

High-purity alumina is used in applications requiring high ductility or conductivity. These properties are

why high-purity alumina is a key ingredient in sapphire wafers and liquid-crystal polymer, which are key

components used in the production of LEDs. According to the Company, the high-purity alumina

produced from its clay at its pilot plant meets industry standards for LEDs.

Orbite expects to have initial production of high-purity alumina of 1 tonne/day in Q3/12, increasing to

3 tonnes/day in Q4/12 – this equates to 350 tonnes of high-purity alumina in 2012. Using a price of

US$250/kg and a production cost of C$1,250/tonne, this production represents revenue of C$87.5 MM

and EBITDA of C$83.1 MM.

In 2010, the global market for LEDs was more than US$10 billion, and it is expected to increase by at

least a 20% CAGR between 2011 and 2015. The high-purity alumina required for the sapphire wafers is

available from only a handful of producers, and it is extremely expensive to produce using

conventional/existing technologies.

More Blue-Sky Potential

According to the PEA, a single Orbite metallurgical plant with the same annual alumina capacity, but

including the recovery of other byproducts including rare earths, is estimated to have an NPV(5%) of

$7.7 billion, an IRR of 114%, and a payback period of 11 months. The incremental cost to produce these

byproducts is estimated to be C$8.43/tonne, which yields an additional C$677/tonne in revenue.

Orbite is also conducting laboratory tests using its proprietary technology to process bauxite, and

according to the Company, the alumina extraction rate compares favourably with that of its Grande-Vallée

aluminous clay. This indicates that Orbite’s process could be used to extract alumina from bauxite and

could possibly be a viable substitute for the 124-year old Bayer process, with significant ecological

advantages.

Our 12-month target price for Orbite of C$11.50 per share is based on a blend of: (1) Our NAV(10%)

estimate of C$46.00 per fully diluted share for high-purity and metallurgical alumina, as well as all other

byproducts used in the PEA, which is risked at 30%; and (2) A 7.5x multiple applied to our FY2013 CFPS

estimate for high-purity alumina alone, which is C$1.25.

Analysten-Bewertung - 20.12.11
Orbite Alumniae Vervielfachungspotenzial

Endingen (aktiencheck.de AG) - Nach Ansicht der Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" sollen Anleger sich erste Startpositionen der Aktie von Orbite Alumniae (<CA68558C1068>/ WKN A0JMP6) ins Depot legen. Das Unternehmen sei in der Lage, mittels eigens entwickelter und einzigartiger Technologie Aluminiumoxid aus aluminiumreichen Lehmböden zu gewinnen. Mit dem Grand-Vallé-Property, das über eine Ressource von 1 Mrd. Tonnen aluminiumreicher Lehmböden verfüge, könnte das Unternehmen den aktuellen Bedarf sämtlicher in Quebec beheimateten Aluminiumhütten für einen Zeitraum von fünfzig Jahren abdecken. Diese müssten derzeit unter Inkaufnahme hoher Transportkosten ihren Rohstoff in Brasilien und Jamaica einkaufen. Orbite Alumniaes Technologie falle zudem auch dadurch auf, dass keine toxischen Abfälle produziert würden. Die Produktion werde in der zweiten Hälfte 2012 anlaufen und nach Ansicht des Researchhauses Jacob Securities knapp 38 Mio. CAD Umsatz bringen. Für 2013 sei eine Umsatzsteigerung auf 398 Mio. CAD bei einer Gewinnsteigerung von 0,09 CAD auf 0,77 CAD je Aktie Bestandteil der Jacob Securities-Schätzungen. Auch andere Analystenteams hätten Kaufempfehlungen ausgesprochen und würden mit einer Gewinnentwicklung von bis zu 3,93 CAD je Aktie per 2015 kalkulieren. Bei den Kaufempfehlungen seien Kursziele zwischen 8 CAD und 13,50 CAD genannt worden. Nach Ansicht der Experten von "Hot Stocks Investor" kann es vor diesem Hintergrund wirklich nicht falsch sein, sich eine strategische Position in der Orbite Alumniae-Aktie ins Depot zu holen.

CFO Jacques Bédard said in an interview the issue AMF took up with the company was regarding the rare earths contained in the deposit at Grand-Vallée, and that the regulator simply wanted more information.

"We are providing more information within their required timeframe," he said, stressing that the rare earths were not the core business of Orbite in any case.

"It’s going to be no big deal at the end of the day."

Orbite Aluminae Disclosure Update
http://at.marketwire.com/accesstracking/AccessTrackingLogSer…
MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 02/13/12 -- Orbite Aluminae Inc. (the "Company")(TSX:ORT) would like to provide an update with respect to the press release issued on Friday, February 10, 2012 relating to the Preliminary Economic Assessment on Metallurgical Grade Alumina Project (filed on Sedar - http://www.sedar.com) dated January 10, 2012 and its alleged non-compliance with Regulation 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("Regulation 43-101") (the "Technical Report").

The Company has since received a written communication from the Autorite des marches financiers ("AMF") setting forth its comments and observations with respect to the Technical Report.

The AMF is of the view that sections 7 to 14 of the Technical Report as they pertain to rare earth elements is deficient. The AMF also noted that the mineral resource estimates, as set forth in the Technical Report, did not comply with the form requirements under Regulation 43-101 to the effect that the Qualified Person must provide sufficient technical discussion of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to estimate the mineral resources.

The AMF has also indicated that the Technical Report should be revised to include information relating to operational and investment costs relating to the use of electricity as an alternate source of energy taking into account that electricity is one of the sources of energy currently available in the Gaspe region of Quebec.

Finally, the AMF requested that, at a minimum, an additional geologist co-sign, as a Qualified Person, the revised Technical Report to be submitted to the AMF.

The Company has obtained the assistance of other geologists and experts to review the comments and observations made by the AMF and will pursue its exchanges with the representatives of the AMF.

The Company will provide further updates as required.

About Orbite

Orbite owns 100% of the mining rights on a Grande-Vallee property of approximately 6 441 hectares, the site of an aluminous clay deposit located 23 km south of Grande-Vallee, and a 2 600 square metre full scale pilot plant in Cap Chat, in the Gaspe region. An NI 43-101 report issued in August 2011 identified an Indicated Resource of about one billion tonnes of aluminous clay in part of the deposit. The Company also owns the intellectual property rights to a unique Canada- and U.S.-patented process for extracting alumina from aluminous ores and for which patents are also pending in other countries. www.orbitealuminae.com

ORBITE ALUMINAE - DISCLOSURE UPDATE

Further to its press releases issued Feb. 9 and 12, 2012, Orbite Aluminae Inc. intends to amend and clarify its preliminary economic assessment (PEA) technical report issued on Jan. 12, 2012, by filing a revised technical report, expected to be released no later than Feb. 24, 2012. The revised technical report will be co-authored by newly appointed qualified persons. The company is consulting with the Autorite des marches financiers (AMF) in regard to the selection of the new qualified persons. It will provide additional information and analyses in respect of the geology aspects of the rare earth resources and the energy scenarios associated with the Grande-Vallee project, thus addressing comments and observations recently received from the AMF.

As proposed by the company, the AMF has issued a temporary management cease trade order (MCTO) under Policy Statement 12-203, which prohibits trading in securities of the company by certain insiders of the company. The MCTO will remain in force until the release of a compliant revised technical report. An MCTO does not generally affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of the company to trade securities of the company. The company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as set out in the Policy Statement 12-203 for as long as the MCTO is in force, including the issuance of biweekly default status reports to be issued in the form of a press release. The AMF has also advised the company of its intention to commence proceedings for the issuance of a CTO on the company's securities should the newly appointed qualified persons not be satisfactory or should a revised compliant technical report not be issued by Feb. 24, 2012.

Ist mir mit FMS passiert ! Keine Zeit !

Erstmal Rolleg grosses Kompliment und Respekt für deine ganzen Recherchen und die Zusammenstellung deiner News. Ich lese deine Threats immer mit grossem Genuss !

Aber die Zeit und wie muenchenguru schrieb - mein Terminplan -
machen gute Ergebnisse an der Boerse zur Zeit nicht einfach.

Ich glaube es hat nichts zu tun ob man im 1/3 seines Berufslebens ist oder im letzten Drittel - die letzten drei Jahre ist mein empfinden, hat sich die Arbeitswelt sehr stark verändert hinsichtlich Dynamik, Komplexität, Anspruch und Zeit. Abartig ! Wo führt das hin !

Nichtdestotrotz würde ich es sehr begrüssen eure Einschätzung zu
Orbite Aluminae - was wird passieren nach der Korrektur PEA ?
Siehe Stockhouse es zeigt sich dort kein klarers Bild ab ?

Meine Schwerpunkte sind wie muenchenguru Graphit Explorer, wenige Silberminenwerte Z.B. Aurcana, sowie strategische Metalle z.B. Vanadium usw..

Freue mich auf euer Feedback und wünsche euch eine erfolgreiche Restwoche.

Zimtu ist mir ebenfalls zu schnell gelaufen.
Was die im Moment an Nachrichten raus hauen ist unglaublich.
Die heutige Nachricht mit AUS fand ich gleich mehrfach überraschend.

Zu Orbite kann ich im Moment nichts beitragen, ich habe es nur am Rande verfolgt. Trotzdem bleibt es bei mir ganz oben auf der Watchlist.
Kleine Kernposition habe ich. Heute +17 % in Kanada....

Hi zusammen,

was mich bei Orbite nervt, ist, dass sie jetzt schon wieder "nachbessern" bzw. die infos korrigieren müssen. War ja auch schon bzgl. der infos auf der Website schon so - wenn ich mich recht erinnere, gabs damals auch ein TH. Haben die daraus nichts gelernt?

Wie es hier weiter geht? Schwer zu sagen... War hier schon mal leicht im Plus, dann mal schnelle 70% rot. Rauf und runter, aber fett!
Geschäftsmodell klingt überzeugend. Inzwischen haben sich ja auch weitere (habs paar Seiten vorher schon mal hier gepostet) in der Region Liegnschaften gesichert.

2 Nachrichten (gestern und heute) gabs z.B. von Habanero:

Orbite Launches Conversion of its Cap-Chat Pilot Plant to a High-Purity Alumina Production Facility
http://app.quotemedia.com/quotetools/newsStoryPopup.go?story…

Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) ("Orbite" or the "Company") has announced the successful conclusion of its Cap-Chat pilot phase and has thus ended pilot operations in order to launch the plant's conversion to commercial-scale production of high-purity alumina (HPA). The Company plans on producing one tonne of high-purity alumina per day when production begins in 2012, increasing to up to five tonnes per day in 2013.

The basic engineering phase for the high-purity alumina plant has been finalized with the assistance of large national and international engineering firms, while the detailed engineering phase is progressing according to the set timetable. Orbite expects to commission the Cap-Chat high-purity alumina plant by the end of 2012 and is targeting a gradual ramp-up of capacity.

"Basic engineering, an important milestone that includes the high-purity alumina concept design and equipment specifications, has been successfully completed," stated Denis Primeau, Chief Engineer for Orbite. "Detailed engineering involving the final sizing of all equipment and the completion of project details related to construction (including permits) is progressing rapidly and on schedule. The Orbite engineering team, along with national and international partners, is working diligently to meet the set milestones for commissioning."

The Orbite Cap-Chat pilot plant was successfully completed on time and on budget and has enabled the Company to produce alumina and other value added oxides through its proprietary process for extracting alumina from aluminous clays.

In order to complete the conversion and ensure a safe transition, the Company today proceeded with the temporary layoff of 14 workers, while maintaining a staff of 17 permanent employees on site. As the operations of the new high-purity alumina plant get underway, the Company will reassess its personnel needs and hire accordingly.

High demand for high-purity alumina (99.99%+)

High-purity alumina (99.99%+), a specialty alumina with superior quality compared to metallurgical alumina, is widely used in several high-tech and industrial applications. It is estimated that half of the world's annual production of high-purity alumina is used in the manufacture of synthetic sapphire used in fiber optics as well as in LED lighting for the home and the automotive industry. It is also used in the production of high-pressure sodium vapour lamp tubes, the manufacture of video and computer equipment, and for metallographic polishing and the polishing of optic and electronic materials.

Orbite Aluminae Announces Three Major Achievements

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - March 15, 2012) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has reached three important milestones in its development. It has recently opened a new laboratory facility in Laval, Quebec, which will serve as the Company's principal laboratory. It is also proud to have secured the support of the Micmac Nation of Gespeg in regards to the Company's alumina plant project in the Gaspésie region. And finally, Orbite has been issued a new Canadian patent for its technologies and has filed for two new patents in the U.S.

The MOU, ratified during Rusal's delegation visit in Quebec, outlines terms of financial, technological and know-how contribution of the parties into the SGA plant with the aim to establish a highly efficient industrial operation using the Orbite process. The JV will also conduct tests in respect of RUSAL's raw materials in the SGA Plant.

RUSAL is the first major player to team up with Orbite with respect to the SGA Plant. The MOU includes, among other things, the following terms:

1. The first SGA Plant is expected to be deployed into 3 distinct
incremental phases of production capacity and RUSAL's possible
investment into the first phase of the project will be 25 million
Canadian dollars over time with the right to participate in the
following phases;


2. To supplement Orbite's personnel and local workforce, RUSAL will provide
specialists and know-how in connection with the design, construction and
operation of the JV SGA Plant;


3. Both Orbite and RUSAL will license their pre-existing technologies to
the JV;


4. Orbite and RUSAL will cross-license their pre-existing technologies on a
non-exclusive basis such that they will be entitled to use the other
party's pre-existing alumina extraction technologies in Canada (in the
case of Orbite) and in Russia (in the case of RUSAL) free of charge, and
both Orbite and RUSAL will be granted certain licensing rights in
connection with the technology that will be developed jointly in the
course of the joint-venture;


5. RUSAL and Orbite will discuss licensing rare earth elements and rare
metals extraction technologies at a later time;

6. Orbite will supply the raw material to the SGA Plant. The JV will also
undertake necessary tests of RUSAL raw materials at the SGA plant and
the required adaptation of technology to said raw materials.


The MOU is a non-binding letter of intent for the time being and is subject to Orbite and RUSAL negotiating and entering into definitive agreements.

Hi Oberkassler,

hier dazu ergänzend noch ein Bbeitrag aus dem Stockhouse:

I think Friday was a desperate attempt from the "short selling conglomerate" to initiate huge orchestrated drop in combination with TSX downward trend in order to trigger sustained selloff to be able to cover more later with their millions of short shares more and more in danger /exposed as time goes and good news and truth is straightening the records. Lies, rumours, biaised questions, "good advice" for your money, saying it is risky, raising doubts & concerns, etc. by those interests are now being seen from 100 miles (I'm not telling it is not good to question and analyse but we see it when it is done in good way Vs with some hidden agenda...)

But there's been no huge volume / selloff afterwards and the SP stayed in relatively good shape (at one trade of finishing neutral...) considering the overall market. This tells us that their little game is close to be over, very close to be GAME OVER for them. The only risk is for them now. Don't accept to take any of their risk!

I'm expecting a huge news on Monday that will be the final hit. And, hopefully this debate will highlight the obvious conflict of interests of the Naysayers; positively recommending penny stocks while bashing a company that has Resources, patented technology to produce at lower costs, ready to produce HPA this year, that will produce tons of REE and RM as by-products of SGA, allied with the biggest ones to also become a Major Player in REE&RM, HPA, SGA...wolrdwide... everything on hand to succeed.

Orbite Confirms the Association of Rare Earths and Rare Metals With Alumina at its Grande-Vallee Aluminous Clay Deposit

http://app.quotemedia.com/quotetools/newsStoryPopup.go?story…

[rolleg]

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - April 24, 2012) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. ("Orbite" or the "Company") (TSX: ORT) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 952 new claims covering a total of 543.2 km2 on a territory extending over 170 km ranging from Quebec city East to Cap-Chat, Quebec, the location site of Orbite's high-purity alumina production facility. This strategic new acquisition covers a substantial portion of the aluminous shale-bearing Orignal Formation, and reaches out to the Company's existing property of Grande-Vallée, the site of which currently comprises of 110 claims, totalling 66.7 km2 of land.

Further to the completion of this acquisition, and in the perspective of moving forward with the search of opportunities for new asset resources, the Company initiated an acquisition program to develop aluminous shale-bearing claims in Southwestern Quebec. This initiative resulted in adding new claims, also from the area of Saint-Apolinaire, West of Quebec city - where natural gas is readily available - to its current set of properties.

Orbite plans on initiating field work as early as the beginning of the summer 2012 on all of its new claims in order to successfully achieve exploration, and move towards the establishment of new aluminous shale resources for the Company.

For those of us who only speak Fractured French


Google translate is getting better. This news is really impressive!

I talked to a person familiar with the file of ORT and here are some answers.

For Ultra-Pure Alumina, net $ per ton is about $ 300,000. They will begin production in late 2012 and / or early 2013. Expected production for the first day a ton time (3-4 months). Production increases to 3 tons day mid 2012 and reached a rate 5 tons day in late 2013. Subsequently in 2014 and more; ORT going from 5 to 15 tons daily. Abstract 150 million to $ 200 million net for 2013. In 2014, revenues will double and +, is between 400 to $ 500 million annually. That's about $ 2 per share / year. The court earnings should be between 15 times and 20 times, ie the title should range between 30 and $ 40 only incomes of Ultra-pure alumina. Currently the project going to cost 25 Ultra Pure has $ 30 million and has already paid out of the 75 million already in liquidity.The company Amalgamet London Metal has already signed an agreement with Orbit distribution for the entire production. With the proposed Ultra-Pure; ORT does not need to go on the public market (open for the new capital share) for the proposed smelter.The cash flow from revenues of Ultra-Pure is sufficient as down payment for other projects and / or production units planned in their strategic plan, the rest will come from $ regular funding. Note that the production of ultra-pure alumina does not require the implementation of the recovery process of hydrochloric acid.

They are in talks with Mitsubishi to supply alumina: possible second partner.

Discussion with Avalon Rare Earth. Yellowknife project. (Joint venture and / or license)

In the lagoons of red mud, accumulated residuals by the Bayer process for over 150 years we find an average alumina concentration between 19% and 23%. The filing of Orbit in the Gaspé, the content is about 24%. In other words, aluminum plants on the planet have the equivalent of a mine in the backyard of their factory. More rare earths, manganese, hematite, etc. ... Bonus. This represents hundreds of billions. In addition, sum of 120 million tonnes of red mud / year currently occurring in the industry and will not cease to grow if we do not use another technology.

Full Jacobs Report:

Luisa Moreno, Ph.D, Analyst [e-mail] [phone]

Bear-s no Weight!

We were recently asked to participate in BNN’s Bear/Bull debate show to offer our Bull view on Orbite Aluminae. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties with the audio and resulting delays, several of our key positions could not be properly conveyed during the telecast. Therefore, we take this opportunity to clearly and more thoroughly present our bull arguments in the contexts of the topics raised during the show and to demonstrate why we believe the opposing Bear view is not backed by sound due diligence.

Key Bull Points

- Near Term Revenue – Orbite is set to become the world’s lowest cost producer of high purity alumina (HPA). Production is expected to start by 4Q12/1Q13 and cash from the HPA sales could partially fund the smelter alumina grade plant (SGA).

- Low Cost Producer of Alumina – The SGA plant is also expected to become one of the lowest-cost alumina refineries in the world. The by-products will certainly make the refinery even more competitive.

- Rusal UC Partnership – Rusal - the world’s largest producer of aluminum and a major alumina producer - spent several months performing due diligence and decided to enter in an agreement with Orbite. That is a strong validation of the Orbite technology and business model. We anticipate that once other industry partners are identified, Orbite will sign the definitive agreement with Rusal.

- Renowned Technical Team – Orbite has built an international team of renowned chemical process engineers that are confident that they will be able to build the most economic red-mud-free alumina refinery in the world. Metallurgical Annouce

As part of our due diligence, we visited Orbite facilities multiple times and we have spent countless hours talking to Orbite’s technical team, independent engineering contractors, chemical processing engineers and alumina refinery experts in various countries (e.g. Jamaica and Australia). Additional comments in the next page.

Recommendation

We maintain our Speculative Buy recommendation and target price of $11.20

One of the Bear points raised in the debate was that the Hydrothermal Acid Regeneration Process (H-ARP), one of the technologies being considered by Orbite to regenerate a fraction of the waste acid, may not be viable and the one at the ThyssenKrupp Steel (TKS) plant in the U.S. may be replaced. SMS Siemag (Siemag) built the H-ARP for TKS and may use it to test Orbite’s spent acid ahead of the SGA plant construction. We have contacted Siemag directly for an update and Siemag made it absolutely clear that there are no plans to decommission or replace the H- ARP. Additionally, we have found no supporting documents that indicate that there are currently any environmental or emission issues with the H-ARP at TKS plant.


Paper Trail Sequence

According to documents submitted to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) on May 23rd and 24th of 2011, TKS conducted “an initial performance test” on the Hydrothermal HCl Acid Regeneration Scrubber (code S10) to demonstrate compliance with the emission regulations. Particle matter and Cl2 emissions were found to be normal but HCl emissions were higher than permitted (>12 parts per million by volume [ppmv]).

It should be noted that these kinds of systems are not exactly “plug and go”. It seems that the first emission tests for the H-ARP occurred in May 2011, during which, “mechanical issues” were identified. As per regulatory documents a corrective plan was promptly implemented. Setbacks are not unusual even in the commissioning of well-established technologies. In this case it seems the air-scrubber (Exhibit 1), a commoditized item, that is not built by Siemag but by a third party and is not part of H-ARP, had to be optimized.

One document submitted by TKS and dated June 24, 2011, mentions that there is “limited information” about H-ARP and the system had limited “operating hours”. The hydrothermal acid regeneration system at the TKS plant is first of its kind at a commercial scale, and it was purposely adapted and designed for TKS, thus the limited information. Our understanding is that tests on H-ARP didn’t start until spring of 2011 due to limited availability of spent acid, possibly because the TKS plant was not operating at full capacity. From May 2011 onwards as the hydrothermal process was being optimized, the excess acid that was not being processed by H- ARP may have been outsourced to a third party acid regeneration firm, a common practice in the steel industry.

The exact sequence of events for the rest of the year 2011 is best captured in a document dated January 10th, 2012 that TKS submitted to ADEM: “On July 26, 2011 TKS submitted an air permit modification application to permit certain physical modifications to the Acid Regeneration Plant” “On July 29, 2011 ADEM issued a modified air permit that allowed TKS to make certain enhancements to the emissions control systems installed on the ARP which helped ensure future compliance with the HCl emission limit of 12 ppmv during ARP operation. TKS determined that augmentation of the control systems installed on the ARP beyond the modifications approved in the July 29, 2011 modified air permit were necessary to assure that HCL emissions meet the requirements...As such, TKS proposed to reduce the HCl content of the stream before entering the scrubber via modifications to the venting system to the scrubber in the modified air permit application submitted to ADEM on November 15, 2011...Based on a review of the potential emissions from the addition of a condenser to the emission control system associated with the APR, it was determined that no state or federal emission standards were expected to be exceeded. Therefore, on November 21, 2011 ADEM issued a “no permit determination” letter to TKS.” This suggests that there was no need to issue a new permit, actually a positive point instead of negative, as suggested somewhere else.

It seems that during the optimization process that started in May 2011, the system may have been stopped two times to allow for improvements (requests were received July 26th and November 15th).

On March 9, 2012, the TKS received an extension permit to operate the hydrothermal acid regeneration plant until September 6, 2012. This extended period of operation “is to allow for emission testing, plant adjustments and for an inspector from the Air Division to inspect the unit while in operation”. Thus, it seems that the hydrothermal process is not being replaced but instead it continues to be optimized to offer higher efficiency. As per the regulations, TKS will continue to request temporary authorization to operate (TAO) every 6 months, until TKS (and Siemag) decide that no additional modifications related to the H-ARP are required or desired. TAO requests during plant commissioning or optimization are also a common practice in Canada.

What does it all mean?

Not much actually! What we described above is a standard bureaucratic communication between a steel company and a regulative body during commissioning of an industrial facility with a potential environmental impact; specifically, the documents show the steps that TKS went through to ensure that all changes/improvements associated with the H-ARP were disclosed. Not all the changes had an impact on emissions but it seems that they still had to be reported and assessed by the ADEM given the type of system.

There are hundreds of documents in the ADEM data base associated with TKS plant commissioning, some are related to the hydrothermal acid regeneration plant but as far as we could tell none indicated that the H-ARP is not environmentally friendly or that it is in non- compliance with any permit. Furthermore, none of the documents indicate whether the H-ARP plant has indeed "very low atmosphere emissions" or not; they deal with substantially different matters related to the assumed effects of mechanical modifications on exhaust gas quality (in terms of pollutant concentrations per unit of volume), which is mostly a bureaucratic regulatory measure.

Misinterpretation!

As we pointed out earlier, it is common for large complex industrial plants such as that of TKS, to undergo optimization and fine-tuning during commissioning. Any system change that may affect emissions always requires regulatory checks/reviews followed by temporary permitting. In our opinion, none of the documents that we consulted indicate that TKS is in violation of emission regulations or that the H-ARP is not working or will be replaced. Suggesting otherwise is poorly interpreted or simply inaccurate. This sequence of events seems to suggest that TKS and Siemag continue to be committed to the development of H-ARP.

Heads up!

We anticipate that there will likely be more requests by TKS to the ADEM for corrections, adjustments or improvements to the H-ARP plant; it is after all the first of its kind. Furthermore, it is important to note that, if Siemag decides to test Orbite spent acid at the TKS plant, the system may be subjected to changes and therefore TKS would have to submit in writing all the planned alterations. The ADEM in turn will review them in their own time and respond accordingly. We anticipate more correspondences between TKS and ADEM in the future but that is just the norm.

Role of the Additional Acid Regeneration System at TKS Plant

We are not sure about the role of the additional acid regeneration system that may be built by International Steel Services (ISSI) at the TKS plant. As we have suggested before, it’s possible that ISSI’s acid regeneration services may have been used by TKS during H-ARP optimization work. We believe that an additional acid regeneration system will open the opportunity for Siemag to test Orbite’s and other non-ferrous industries spent acid using the hydrothermal process. If that is the case we see it as a positive development for Orbite and other non-ferrous industries.

H-ARP Design: Orbite vs TKS

The hydrothermal acid regeneration process is an evolutionary version of the PORI process developed in the early 70’s when the lack of advanced materials limited its viability. Currently there are numerous research and development groups at universities and industries focusing on the development of the hydrothermal process. We have learned that Orbite actually identified the H-ARP technology early in the design of SGA. As they were designing it they realized that Siemag had built a full-scale plant and then decided instead to mandate Siemag to build a simpler version, based on their specifications. The Orbite team actually believes that the H-ARP does not present a major technical challenge for their project.

The hydrothermal acid regenerating system that is being designed for Orbite is not identical to that of TKS.

First, Orbite’s waste acid feed reaching the hydrothermal acid regeneration plant is expected to be much cleaner than that of a steel mill pickling operation. Orbite’s waste acid feed to the H-ARP is expected to contain mainly water (H2O), hydrochloric acid (HCl), iron chloride (FeCl3) and rare earth elements. Everything else would be diverted (e.g. aluminum chloride is calcined and the magnesium oxide is spray roasted). The point here is that a cleaner spent acid means less process risk.

Also, according to Siemag, the design of Orbite’s H-ARP is expected to be simpler than that of TKS’s. The spent pickle liquor from the steel industry usually contains mixed irons and it requires autoclave oxidation before hydrolysis; however, Orbite can skip this technically complex step as its feed contains only trivalent iron that is directly hydrolysable. As no high pressure autoclaves are necessary there is less operational risk for Orbite’s future H-ARP.

Orbite’s tests have been performed by Siemag at their pilot plants in Europe over the last 7 months. The plants implement the whole process: crystallization of aluminum chloride preconcentrator, hydrolyser, filtration, heat recuperation and exhaust gas treatment. We have learned that according to reports from Siemag to Orbite, so far the chemistry, the utility and energy consumptions, product qualities and acid recoveries have been proven.

Technology Risk

There is always a number of technology risks associated with companies developing new technologies. It is not our intention to suggest that Orbite Aluminae has no technology risks, that would be naïve and incorrect, to say the least. In fact, in our initiation report we pointed out some of the same issues raised in the Bear/Bull debate.

As with all technologies there is always a chance of failure; however, Orbite aluminae and their international team of experienced experts are confident, based on the results so far, that they will be able to deliver the first economic Orbite process refinery for the production of red-mud free alumina.

As far as the TKS’s hydrothermal acid regeneration system is concerned, the industrial large scale implementation has neither been proven successful nor been proven a failure as the plant is still undergoing completion of commissioning. However, Orbite engineers who had access to process data during their due diligence at TKS’s H-ARP were satisfied with the overall process operation given that the energy requirements and product quality have been met.

It should be noted that even the 50 years old pyro-hydrolysis based acid regeneration system, has its own challenges. For instance, as publicly available information in the U.S. courts attest, ISSI's plants have repeatedly triggered action by regulatory bodies in the U.S., which in no way indicates that ISSI (and its subsidiary AMROX) is incapable or that their pyro-hydrolysis plants does not work. It simply shows that even a well-established technology can at certain points in time be out of compliance with applicable permits. Spray roaster systems, although more established, are not perfect or immune to technical misfortunes and some have even failed.

We do not expect TKS’s H-ARP system to be decommissioned; however the H-RPA technology is not immune to fatal unforeseen future difficulties or accidents either. So, when will we know for sure if the hydrothermal acid regeneration system is a viable technology? As per any newly introduced technology, the viability and feasibility of the H-ARP will only be established after a few years of operation, when enough records on operation and maintenance cost are available.

There are a number of other risks associated with Orbite Aluminae and are listed below.

Price Assumptions

Orbite preliminary economic assessment (PEA) included sensitivity analysis with different price scenarios with and without by-products which show that the SGA plant could be economic without the sale of by-products. We have performed a detailed estimate of the costs of the smelter grade alumina as part of our due diligence. From our analysis and assuming our cost assumptions are correct, it seems that Orbite does not need by-product (e.g. rare earths) revenue to be competitive or economic.

Energy

We still believe that the best option for Orbite to have access to clean fossil fuel is to have the plant built near existing natural gas or equivalent fossil fuel infrastructure. In fact, Orbite just announced the acquisition of new claims that cover a substantial portion of the aluminous shale- bearing Orignal Formation in Quebec and includes the area of Saint-Apolinaire, West of Quebec city where natural gas is readily available. Orbite will initiate an exploration program this summer.

Justification of Target Price

We use the enterprise value DCF approach, which is an adequate valuation methodology for industrial companies with cash flow potential in the near term. The weighted average cost of capital of 12.5% was determined assuming a risk free rate for Canada of 3%, a beta of 1.92 and a market premium of 5%. We estimate that in the long term the company capital structure will comprise of very low levels of debt.

Key Risks to Target Price

It should be noted that a definitive feasibility study for the Orbite process has not yet been completed and there are various risks associated with Orbite Aluminae, including:

Technology Risk; Cost Risk; Patent Protection Risk; Financing Risk; Geopolitical Risk Price Risk; Currency Risk; Takeover Risk; Management Risk.

A detailed description of these risks can be found in our initiation report published in November, 2011.

Investment Summary

Our Bull points for Orbite include the potential (i) for near term revenue, (ii) to become a low-cost producer of high purity and smelter alumina, (iii) partnership with the world’s largest producers of alumina, and (iv) an international team of renowned and experienced chemical process engineers who have built, commissioned and optimized large scale plants.

In our opinion it seems unusual to conclude that the TKS’s hydrothermal acid regeneration plant will be replaced, just because – as per ADEM documents - an auxiliary system (scrubber) of well proven nature is still undergoing optimization, and then associate that with the certainty of Orbite’s preliminary economic assessment (PEA). With the risk of stating the obvious, it must be noted that a PEA is not the same as a definitive feasibility study.

It is important to note as well that the H-ARP for the Orbite process is expected to be simpler than the one at the TKS plant, and although Siemag has been contracted to design Orbite’s H-ARP, the engineering principles are well known and according to Orbite engineers is not actually that complex (for Orbite’s specific application). We anticipate that Orbite will offer more specific details about the SGA plant design and the viability of the auxiliary technologies as it completes its definitive feasibility study and it receives more specific details from its contractors.

This exhausting exercise of paper trailing for problems with Orbite’s related technology was yet another opportunity to better understand the different parts of the Orbite process and the associated risks. There have been unprecedented attacks and so far unfounded attempts to discredit Orbite’s project. We will continue to monitor the sentiment towards the stock. For now we maintain our Speculative Buy recommendation and target price of $11.20

noch bevor ich mir Deine Infos zu Gemüte führe, möchte ich erstmal danke sagen, rolleg.
Für diese Mühe u. überhaupt dass Du hier die Stellung hälst.
Wäre ja mein Job , schließlich habe ich den Thread angefangen.:-)

Orbite ist weiterhin eine Ankerinvestition bei mir u. ich muss schauen wann der richtige Zeitpunkt zum Aufstocken ist.

Und sie steht auch in Konkurrenz mit MHM u. Titanium Corp., was hälst Du von den beiden ?
Geht in eine ähnliche Richtung, find zumindest ich....

[tpnl]

Auch von mir ein herzliches und großes Dankeschön für das beständige Weiterverbreiten von Informationen und Meinungen an rolleg!
Eure Arbeit hat mir vor einigen Monaten sehr geholfen, mich für dieses Invest zu entscheiden.
Sehr interessant finde ich die Konkurrenz zu MHM. Genau zwischen diesen beiden Aktien galt es damals für mich, eine Entscheidung zu treffen. Bei beiden ist es mir schwer gefallen, wirklich nachzuvollziehen, wie sie technischen/ chemisch vorgehen und ob ihre Ziele realistisch umsetzbar sind (komme halt doch aus einem ganz anderen Berufsfeld und auf englisch wird das Ganze auch nicht einfacher). Letztendlich war es eine Bauchentscheidung, eventuell noch beeinflusst von den 20 Mio ausstehenden Optionen bei MHM.

[rolleg]

Keine Ursache! Und danke für die Blumen

MHM und TIC gefallen mir auf den ersten Blick auch gut! Wobei mich bei MHM die ausstehenden Optionen auch etwas stören...

Grüße

[muenchenguru]

bei MHM scheint es auch einige Kommunikationsfehler zu geben, zusätzlich zu Verzögerungen.
Das Silicium-Gebiet bekommen die auch nicht an den Mann (im Moment kein Wunder) .
Entweder die kommen ernsthaft ins Straucheln oder aber es ergeben sich in nä. Wochen einige interessante Kaufgelegenheiten....

[rolleg]

The Rare Earths Industry Is Only Just Beginning: Jon Hykawy

Source: Brian Sylvester of The Critical Metals Report (5/15/12)
http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/13348
Auszug bzgl. ORT:

TCMR: The other company that you have a Sell rating on is Orbite Aluminae Inc. (ORT:TSX). It's created quite a stir, as there were some questions raised around its preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and its ability to extract REEs from its alumina clays. You looked at it more closely and decided that the numbers didn't add up.

JH: Every company has risk associated with it. The issue that we saw with Orbite is that the perception of risk within the broader market was far more optimistic than we believe the actual situation to be. The PEA noted that natural gas would be the primary source of energy for the project, yet even the PEA quite plainly stated that there is no natural gas available in the area. There is no development available to provide natural gas to that project site—and there may not be for a substantial period of time.

We believe that the pricing of alumina as well as the REEs and rare metals in the PEA were optimistic. Using higher-than-rational pricing for these materials inflates a company's net present value. We felt that needed to be addressed.

There was also technical risk. The process is not a slam dunk. There is a substantial amount of work to be done. Even some of the developers of some of the technology that's required to execute the plan in the PEA acknowledge that. Combining all of those things, we questioned whether a value of about $3/share was justified. A price of $0.90/share would make us more comfortable.

Orbite Files Revised Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report (PEA) Confirming Economic Results

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - May 31, 2012) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the issuance of a Revised Preliminary Economic Assessment ("Revised PEA") Technical Report which clarifies disclosure provided in the Company's initial PEA issued on January 12, 2012 ("January PEA") and confirms the favorable preliminary economic assessment of the Company's projected Smelter Grade Alumina (SGA) production plant.

The Revised PEA, which is fully compliant with NI 43-101 Respecting standards of Disclosure for mineral projects ("NI-43-101"), is based on the work and expertise of eight expert independent Qualified Persons and is consistent with the conclusions reached by the audit report (the Audit) (see Press Release dated March 30, 2012), carried out by the engineering firm Roche Ltd and by consulting geologist Alex W. Knox, M. Sc., a rare earth specialist.

The Revised PEA reclassifies the rare earth and rare metal grades of the Company's alumina resources from the Inferred to the Indicated category and provides alternative pricing scenarios regarding market prices of alumina, hematite, silica and magnesium oxides as well as rare earths, which prices were subject to significant variations in the last year. The Revised PEA also provides alternative energy sources and pricing scenarios in light of the uncertain availability of natural gas in the vicinity of the projected SGA plant location, which is used as a reference benchmark for energy purposes. The overall preliminary economic assessment of the project is not materially altered as a consequence of the revisions brought to the Revised PEA.

Summary of revised disclosure

Changes made to chapters dealing with History, Geological Setting, Mineralisation, Deposit Types, Exploration Work, Drilling, Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security, and Data Verification, are mostly comprised of added historical and geological information available in previously published geological and technical reports. These chapters also incorporate all available drilling and geological information from the 2011 field campaign which was only partially incorporated in the January PEA, thus providing a more comprehensive description of the geological origins of the aluminous clay deposit and the presence of rare earth elements and metals.

In relation to the mineral resources classification, grade predictability was easily achieved, as it generally is with industrial mineral deposits. The geometry of the geology is also relatively simple providing volume consistency regardless of method used. Given the relatively well defined volumes of claystone and mudstone within the chosen envelop of the block model, combined with the density of drilling, it was possible to classify all the main oxides, including aluminum, silica, iron, magnesium and rare earths into the Indicated Category.

The following table shows the grades within the 1,040 million tonnes of Indicated Resources for the Marin Sector of the Company's Grande-Vallée Project. The average grade takes into account a cut-off grade of 18% AlΓééOΓéâ, and a density of 2.6g/cm3. The effective date of this mineral resource estimate is November 23, 2011

.......

Summary of preliminary economic assessment

The Revised PEA does not alter the two (2) Preliminary Economic Assessment scenarios provided in the January PEA. Under scenario 1, which considers revenues generated from alumina and hematite only, the Revised PEA concludes that the Company's projected SGA plant, assuming a 25-year operation requiring a $473 M initial investment, would generate a steady annual EBITDA of $154 M, while the internal rate of return (IRR) would be 33%, and the pre-tax net present value (NPV) at a 10% discount rate for the first SGA plant would be $949 M, with a payback period of 3.1 years. A detailed sensitivity analysis was performed with varying alumina prices from $325/t to $425/t and with hematite prices following the same trends ($125/t to $200/t), making the IRR vary from 19% to 33%, and the NPV from $338 M to $949M, or from $1.65/share to $4.64/share on a fully diluted basis, for each plant considered, when using a 10% discount rate. Market alumina prices have varied between $325 and $425 over the last 12 months.

Under scenario 2, which considers revenues generated from all potential marketable products and is the Company's preferred scenario, the Revised PEA concludes that the Company's projected SGA plant, assuming a 25-year operation requiring a $500 M initial investment, would generate a steady annual EBITDA of $572 M, while the internal rate of return (IRR) would be 114%, and the net present value (NPV) at 10% discount rate would be $4.8 B, with a payback period of less than one year. Preliminary marketability analysis information tends to confirm the potential market for these products, although further detailed market analysis will have to be carried out in the Feasibility study. A sensitivity analysis was performed, using the same hypothesis as Scenario 1 for alumina and hematite pricing ranges, and varying the silica market price from $10 to $25/tonne, revenues from magnesium oxides and other oxides from $8.6 M to $11.6 M and rare earths and rare metals by ± 40% up to ± 65% respectively.

[muenchenguru]

ok, werde die Nachricht mal durchgehen.

Um das geht es bei der neuen PEA, Umwidmung der REEs in Reserven, versch. Preisszenarien der geförderten Rohstoffe u. die Untersuchung v. Energiequellen:

The Revised PEA reclassifies the rare earth and rare metal grades of the Company's alumina resources from the Inferred to the Indicated category and provides alternative pricing scenarios regarding market prices of alumina, hematite, silica and magnesium oxides as well as rare earths, which prices were subject to significant variations in the last year. The Revised PEA also provides alternative energy sources and pricing scenarios in light of the uncertain availability of natural gas in the vicinity of the projected SGA plant location, which is used as a reference benchmark for energy purposes. The overall preliminary economic assessment of the project is not materially altered as a consequence of the revisions brought to the Revised PEA.

Die neuen Bohrergebnisse 2011 werden hier voll berücksichtigt:

These chapters also incorporate all available drilling and geological information from the 2011 field campaign which was only partially incorporated in the January PEA, thus providing a more comprehensive description of the geological origins of the aluminous clay deposit and the presence of rare earth elements and metals.

ES wird nochmal betont, dass REE nur Byprodukte sind

The original economic target remains alumina and the viability of the project depends on alumina recovery. REE and RM are found at low concentrations. The REE and RM alone do not justify the project and should thus be considered as by-products.

In dieser PEA wird eine eigene Qualiätsrichtlinien u.-vorgehensweise aufgestellt:

Revisions have also been brought to Orbite's procedures for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) which led to the implementation of comprehensive internal procedures currently being practised within the Company. Prior to the application of the new procedures, Orbite was relying solely on standard procedures of reputable independent laboratories, while it now adds its own additional independent QA/QC procedures.

Es wird angenommen, dass man zur Zeit der Prod. eine lokal produzierte Gasquelle zur Verfügung hat, keine Ahnung warum man dies so mutig annimmt oder ob es sich dabei um eine intgrierte Gasquelle handelt:

For the purpose of the PEA, natural gas from local sources was established as reference benchmark for energy and pricing purposes. At this time, there are no identified/classified natural gas reserves compliant with the NI 51-101 Standards of Disclosure in the Gaspé area. Nevertheless, there is potential for natural gas and light fuel in the area although there are currently no production facilities (wells or pipelines) in operation in the Gaspé area nor in the general area where Orbite intends to build its first metallurgical grade alumina plant. The hypothesis of the PEA is that natural gas, or other fossil fuel, would be available within a 20 km radius of the facility with permanent storage and handling systems for gaseous, solid and or liquefied fuel. The PEA CAPEX estimate is that such handling and storage systems would represent approximately $8 M, an amount which will be further assessed for the Feasibility study.

Hier wird nochmal betont, dass die Energiekosten einen großen Einfluss auf die operativen Kosten haben:

Plant costs are very sensitive to fuel costs. In the event of a 10% fuel cost increase relative to the $4.00/GJ price reference, the plant operating expenses would increase by approximately 5% to 6% ($6 M or about $12/t of alumina produced) or would decrease accordingly in case of a price reduction. If there was no natural gas immediately available, then light fuel oil could be available in that pricing range within the vicinity area. Even a proper mix of coal/pet coke at a very stable price per Giga Joule (GJ) such as $3.50 to $3.70/GJ is envisioned, which is 7.5% less than the reference value used in the Revised PEA. At the end of November 2012, gas was at $2.80/GJ being 30% below the reference price. The estimated OPEX and CAPEX for the project cover all those aspects.

Hier wird nochmal betont, dass die beiden Grundszenarion 1+2 der vorangegangen PEA noch Bestand haben (hier fällt auf, dass obwohl Szenario 2 nur 27 Mio Capex mehr beansprucht, ein mehr an 400 Mio $ EBITDA p.a. generiert (was für Hebel u. klar, dass es das bevorzugte Szenario ist; Hacken wird wohl in der Errichtungszeit u. evtl. Anfälligkeit der Prozesskette sein, was wegen der wohl haushohen Opex nicht egal sein kann):

Aus dem Stockhouse:

Orbite is a developing story and there is simply no buying interest right now for its shares. Existing stake holders are not adding up to their position quite enough to overcome the selling side and new money is not coming to the stock. Three important events will eliminate a good part of the risk for investors 1. The conclusion of a binding agreement with major partners for the first SGA plant. 2. Confirmation of financing on reasonable terms (with no stock dilution) 3. An impressive FS. I think that Rusal and partners already have on hand the key numbers of the FS and they will sign the JV contract well before the FS is released.

Ritterschlag für Orbite Aluminae
06. Juni 2012 12:43


10baggerinfobrief

Die Experten des 10baggerinfobrief widmen sich in einer aktuellen Ausgabe der Aktie von Orbite Aluminae (WKN A1JMP6). Sie gehen der Frage nach, warum der größte Aluminiumhersteller der Welt UC Rusal eine Kooperation mit der vergleichsweise kleinen Firma eingehen will.

Die Antwort des 10baggerinfobrief: Der Grund ist die neuartige, patentierte Technologie von Orbite Aluminae. Diese zeichne sich dadurch aus, dass keinerlei toxischen Abfälle produziert würden. Zudem seien die Produktionskosten geringer als bei den üblichen Verfahren und die Transportkosten für nordamerikanischen Kunden niedriger. Deshalb hat nach Ansicht der Experten die Technologie des Unternehmens das Potenzial, den Aluminiummarkt zu revolutionieren.

Die nach intensiver Prüfung der Orbite-Technologie durch UC Rusal nun abgeschlossene Absichtserklärung zur Zusammenarbeit mit dem Branchenriesen betrachtet der 10baggerinfobrief als Ritterschlag für das kanadische Unternehmen.

Orbite Aluminae Inc. Reports on Its General and Special Meeting of Shareholders

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - July 3, 2012) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) (the "Company" or "Orbite") is pleased to report that it held its annual general and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") on June 29, 2012 and all items of business on the agenda were approved. At the Meeting, Orbite shareholders:

- re-elected all nine nominees for director with a new term to expire in 2013, namely Richard Boudreault, Toby Gilsig, Pierre Meunier, Charles Chevrette, Christian Van Houtte, Lionel Léveillé, Stéphane Bertrand, Michael Hanley et Jean-Sébastien David;

- ratified the reappointment of KPMG LLP as Orbite's independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012;

- and voted affirmatively for the approval of the new 2012 Stock Option Plan.

Orbite's President and CEO, Mr. Richard Boudreault, also provided the shareholders with a comprehensive summary of the several milestones reached in the last year, including the favorable progression of the HPA production facility, the signing of several non-disclosure agreements with potential customers and partners and the incorporation of a wholly owned subsidiary expected to be the vehicle of the projected phase 1 SGA Joint Venture. Mr. Boudreault also announced Orbite's intention to evaluate the potential formation of distinct business divisions in order to segregate its several expected business operations, namely the HPA and SGA production facilities.

As previously announced, the closed-loop hydrochloric acid regeneration is an integral part of Orbite's patented process that enables the Company to become a low cost producer of smelter grade and high purity alumina, as well as rare earths and metals. This step of the process that can successfully use any source of raw materials, namely Orbite's clay with a low concentration of rare earths or third party feedstock, concentrates the rare earths and rare metals into chlorides, and convert them into hydroxides and then into separated oxides. The acid regeneration step, being one of the last steps of Orbite's process, and its proved efficiency validate entirely the technology from the first step that leaches all metals from the Grande-Vallée's deposit to the last one that allows very efficient extraction and subsequent separation of the rare earths and rare metals oxides.

James West's Secrets for Finding Tenbaggers
http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/13824

Auszug:

TGR: Given the transparency and availability of information, would investors be better off if the NI 43-101 rules regarding resource disclosure were relaxed to allow greater promotion?

JW: No. It is thanks to the NI 43-101 that the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX.V) are the No. 1 destination exchanges for resource stocks. Those rules create a level of investor trust such that investors expect that any legitimate resource-oriented public company raising money must have an exit strategy that involves the TSX or TSX.V.

However, I believe NI 43-101 enforcement should be undertaken more carefully. For example, look at what happened to Orbite Aluminae Inc. (ORT:TSX) last year. Orbite extrapolated a rare earth estimate between holes two kilometers apart. The geologist at the Ontario Securities Commission took exception to that and halted the stock. Later, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers in Québec did the same thing on the same grounds. Additional NI 43-101 reports were ordered by both agencies. Eventually, 11 independent geologists concluded that Orbite's approach to the assumption was sound and that the estimate was accurate. While it was halted, the stock built up a short position of 11 million (M) shares. When it was finally unhalted, it got hammered, and is now trading at nowhere near where it should be trading.

Kurzer Auszug daraus:

TCMR: Judging by the feasibility, prefeasibility and preliminary economic assessments (PEAs) conducted on North American REE deposits, could any of the projects even approach the low costs that China's mining industry thrived off of?

AK: If China's government is successful in tightening regulations on its REE mining, then production costs there are going to go up. And there are North American projects on the horizon that can extract REEs even more cheaply than the ionic clay-based projects in China.

For example, Orbite Aluminae Inc. (ORT:TSX) is developing an alumina mine and extraction plant in the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. About a year ago, it discovered that its alumina deposit, which is nearing production, contains substantial byproduct quantities of REEs that were naturally extracted by the simple process that Orbite uses to extract the aluminum. Because Orbite's REEs are extracted in a form that allows them to be purified and separated extremely easily and because these REEs are a byproduct credit, Orbite's process adds virtually no costs and will be extremely competitive.

I helped Orbite make its PEA NI 43-101 compliant. Orbite has already produced 99.9% pure separated REEs, plus scandium and gallium. It will be able to recover all of the purified REEs from this deposit. Orbite's technology is impressive because in many other REE deposits, the extractive metallurgy consumes hundreds of kilograms of acid per ton of ore in order to break down the REE minerals into a form where they can be extracted. All of the acid used in Orbite's process is regenerated and recycled. It's called low-energy acid regeneration processing, and it's patented. So Orbite can license this technology to other companies with REE deposits.

Also ist Orbite bei REEs ein sehr ernst zu nehmender Mitspieler, v.a. auf der Kostenseite, damit habe ich nicht gerechnet.

Habe die Diskussion nicht verfolgt - da kann ich nur vermuten, dass es um die Energieversorgung für SGA mit Gas geht. So weit ich mich erinnern kann, gibt es noch keine Gaspipeline und ORT setzt bei der PEA auf die Energieversorung durch Gas (rein aus der Erinnerung, kann mich auch täuschen).

Zitat von muenchenguru: merci für Hinweis.
Noch mehr Infos *uff* , als wenn Orbite nicht komplex genug wäre....

Das kann ja jetzt wohl nicht dein Ernst sein.
Eine Bude die nichts hat, schon mal gar kein operatives Geschäft,
aus einem Briefkasten in einem Wohngebiet besteht,
einer Baustelle irgendwo in der Kanadischen Pampa in der Größe einer mittelgroßen Tankstelle und das bei einer Mk von über 300 Mio bei vielleicht einem einstelligen Mio Wert, gepusht von den üblichen zwielichten Börsenbriefen.

Wie schon 100 mal gehabt, die "aussichtsreichen" kanadischen Explorer "mit phantastischen Gewinnaussichten" die sich irgendwann als Luftnummern raus stellen.

Der einzige winzige Lichtblick ist das Abkommen mit ucr, aber auch das hat nicht viel zu sagen, auch das gibt es immer wieder ohne dass es jemals zu einem echten Geschäft wird. Die sichern sich damit die Patente die sie bei Auflösung der Bude übernehmen.

Bei solchen Werten kauft man und legt das gleich als Totalverlust ab, dann ist die Enttäuschung hinterher nicht so groß, und wenn man unter den 1000 Luftnummern doch mal einen Treffer landet ist die Freude um so größer.

Aber in Verbindung mit so sowas von komplex reden?? Ich würde das eher für ziemlich übersichtlich beschreiben.

Dazu mal was aus dem Siliconinvestor:

From: gegetrane

Terry, the quantitt of energy for Alouette's 3rd phase is ENORMOUS, as it is a smelter.
This is a completely different thing for Orbite.

1. The HPA plant has no energy concern whatsoever
2. The electricity part of the SGA plant is not a problem, just new lines for a new client, and the consumption is just like a normal big plant of anything, very different from a smelter
3. The fossil fuel question for the SGA plant is the one uncertainty now, but not uncertainty as the feasibility of the project, just what is the best choice NOW, in 2 years and in 5 years.

HPA is enough to fill your pockets with shares at these prices, unless you're waiting for announced clients, which I would understand.

gegetrane

From: Terry Maloney

Agreed, Alouette's energy requirements are quite different. I should have written 'when I hear they're doing something similar for Orbite, such as helping with building a pipeline, building a port, or widening the roads' ... i.e., some concrete sign that they definitely see this as a major project in Quebec's future.

I agree too that the HPA plant shouldn't have any energy concerns, and that electricity won't be a problem for the SGA plant(s) ... if we get to that stage, Hydro Quebec could always expand their transmission lines as necessary.

I still have major concerns about the fossil fuel question, though -- no matter what option they choose, I can't see the road system around Grande Vallée handling the volumes (this applies equally to shipping the alumina and other products out). So unless they're going to transform Grande Vallée's port into an 'industrial' one (it's currently a picturesque 'tourist' port), assuming it's even deep enough, they're going to have to transfer the SGA operations up closer to Quebec City, imo. And this would require proving up their new claims in that area, etc ...

Another option might be for the Quebec government to widen Rte 132 to a 4-lane highway, a 335 km project ...

As for filling my pockets, yes, I'm waiting for signed contracts on the HPA, or perhaps licensing agreements on red mud remediation ... something concrete.

bei Orbite scheint Siliconinv. wirklich sehr informativ zu sein, sonst ist es ja nicht die 1.Adresse für Minenaktien.

Interessante Infos, also braucht uns die Energiefrage erst bei der normalen Alu-Produktion zu interessieren. SGA heißt was , Smelter Grade Alu ?

Bitte korregier mich, aber ich sehe bei Orbite folgende Geschäftsteile:

- HPA (HighPurity Alu)
- Spezialmetalle Gallium, Niob.....
- Seltene Erden
- Alu-Prod. aus regionaler Tonerde
- Lizensierung der Alu-Tonerden-Prod.methode.

HPA sollte schon dieses Jahr, spätestens nä. Jahr rentable sein.
Vielleicht kannst Du was zu dem Zeitplan zu den anderen Bausteinen schreiben.

Kanadisches Unternehmen stellt erstes Verfahren zur Neutralisierung von Rotschlamm vor / Orbite Aluminae liefert Lösung für dringlichstes Problem der Aluminiumindustrie

MONTREAL -- (Marketwire) -- 08/01/12 -- Das kanadische Cleantech-Unternehmen Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) hat eine patentierte Technologie zur Behandlung von Rotschlamm entwickelt, des bedeutendsten Abfallprodukts der Aluminiumherstellung nach dem Bayer-Verfahren. Damit bietet das Unternehmen die bislang einzige ökologisch sicherere und kommerziell rentable Alternative zur Eliminierung der toxischen Schlacke.

Gemäß dem International Committee for Study of Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium (ICSOBA) fielen bei der Aluminiumproduktion allein im Jahr 2011 mehr als 100 Millionen Tonnen Rotschlamm an, von denen nur 5% einer sinnvollen Nutzung zugeführt wurden(1). Der Rest wird in Deponien und Reservoirs gelagert, was mit erheblichen Umweltrisiken verbunden ist. So kam es beispielsweise am 4. Oktober 2010 in Ungarn zu einer ökologischen Katastrophe, als nach dem Bruch eines Beckens ganze Dörfer mit giftigem Rotschlamm überschwemmt wurden. Auch Indien, China, Kanada und Brasilien waren schon von Rotschlamm-Unfällen betroffen. Mittlerweile sind die Umwelt- und Sozialkosten in Zusammenhang mit der globalen Aluminiumproduktion nach dem Bayer-Verfahren so stark gestiegen, dass sich mehrere Länder gegen die Entwicklung neuer Bergbau- und Produktionsstätten ausgesprochen haben. Mit seiner neuen Technologie liefert Orbite eine ökologisch und ökonomisch gangbare Lösung für dieses Problem.

Die Orbite-Technologie wandelt Rotschlamm in einen trockenen, inerten und vor allem ökologisch neutralen Stoff mit weniger als 90% des Ausgangsvolumens um. Bei diesem Prozess werden außerdem Stoffe von hohem kommerziellen Wert gewonnen, darunter Aluminiumoxid (Tonerde), das bis zu 25% des Rotschlamms ausmachen kann, hochreines Hämatit, das dem Schlamm seine rote Farbe gibt, sowie Magnesiumoxide und Seltenerdmetalloxide mit potenziell hohem wirtschaftlich relevanten Restwert. Orbite hat einen aufwändigen Prozess entwickelt, mit dem der Rotschlamm neutralisiert und zugleich wertvolle individuelle Bestandteile gewonnen werden können. Die Resultate wurden von einem Team hochqualifizierter Ingenieure anhand von Rotschlammproben mit den für das Abfallprodukt der Aluminiumindustrie typischen Eigenschaften verifiziert.

Orbite plant jetzt die Lizensierung seiner Technologie an Aluminiumhersteller, die daran interessiert sind, ihren ökologischen Fußabdruck und ihr Kontaminationsrisiko zu reduzieren, dabei gleichzeitig die Betriebskosten zu senken und ihren Umsatz zu steigern.

Interview by Mathieu Lavallée 30-07-2012, from les affaires

ML: Mathieu Lavallée

RB : Richard Boudreault

Part 1

Introduction

ML : Last winter, Orbite Aluminae stock trading has been halted for about 5 weeks on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Orbite is a company from Quebec that develops new technologies for producing alumina, as well as Rare Earths, and for treating red mud, which are the wastes obtained from the traditional process for alumina production. We are glad to meet with Mr. Richard Boudreault to comment on this incident of last winter, but also to review Orbite’s projects and their status. So, here is the interview with Richard Boudreault.

ML: Richard Boudreault, president and CEO of Orbite Aluminae, bonjour.

RB: Bonjour

ML: What is the development status at this point?

RB: The Company developed an original technology allowing to process material, soil from almost everywhere, in our case we are using the aluminous clay from Gaspésie, and transform it in various alumina types. The first is a high-purity alumina that is dedicated to manufacturing of I-Pad screens, LED lights... This first Plant [HPA] will be operating at first quarter of 2013. The 2nd activity, which is based on exactly the same technology basis, is to establish a Plant for “average” purity alumina - smelter grade alumina [SGA]- and will allow us to produce a quite significant quantity, 540,000 tons per year of smelting grade alumina, but it will also enable us to be the largest agent of Rare Earths worldwide and with the first Plant, to [already] have a significant production of Rare Earths.

ML: With this, there are partnerships that have already been set, the first one being with the Russian aluminum producer Rusal, exactly for smelter grade alumina.

RB: Exactly.

ML: Where are we with this partnership, there is a Plant construction [SGA] that is coming along with this, right?

RB: Right.

ML: What is the status?

RB: We are currently in discussion to finalize the agreement. We already have a pro-forma agreement and now, it has to go through each of our respective Board of Directors. So we are close to the end of the process and this Plant construction should begin mid-next year and be completed in mid-2014.

RB: We have concentrated our efforts on the big markets. And the big markets, the big alumina consumers, are the largest users and producers of aluminum. The World’s largest one: Rusal. It is a multinational Russian company. But our plant is in Gaspesia … and we also have the World 3rd largest aluminum producer, Nalco, one of our partners, our 2nd partner that is joining our team.

ML: On the other hand, Alcan, who is close by and that could have been interesting, they are well implanted in Quebec, as well as Alcoa who are here, Alouette, there was aluminum producers that are in Quebec that could have been interested into this?

RB: Yes, definitely. First of all, Alouette is not producing or buying [directly] alumina, they are buying through their partners. And Alcan: they are our direct competitor. So Alcan is producing alumina in Quebec via Bayer process, which is without any doubt very polluting and is creating red mud/residues.

ML: ok

RB: So this is this type of product [showing sample of red dry residues] that is relatively harmful, very caustic and forming significant lakes of red mud.

We have a process that is not generating any red mud.

ML: Speaking of red mud, this is the main interest of your 2nd partnership with Nalco?

RB: Definitely.

ML: The target is specifically to treat red mud. On one hand you want to treat the red mud coming from the scientific Bayer process against which you want to try to compete. What are we attacking here?

RB: What we want to do, is to get into the Bayer market. We will essentially replace the Bayer technology. In this race, we have positioned ourselves with a modern, green & clean technology, and that is producing materials at much lower costs. So, we have engaged ourselves into a process where we are the lowest cost producer worldwide in the alumina sector, and in the Rare Earth sector, and without producing the famous red mud. However, there is another position, that is, we can use virtually any type of alumina-containing ore and be able to extract the alumina and other materials, including Rare Earths. And this [showing the sample], the reject of the Bayer process, where there have been spillages like you said in Romania or in Quebec, there have been some in China, several people were killed around the World. Well, this process [Orbite process] allows taking the primary product of the Bayer process, and taking these 2 tons of red mud and transforming them into a series of products. This is exactly the same product [alumina] that we are producing using our process [using aluminous clay]. This is allowing us to enter into the market because for the user right now, there is no technology that is addressing this worldwide problem. And now, we will be able to install our technology and solve this environmental problem. People will have to admit, as a matter of fact, it is much more efficient on the environmental side, as well as economical, but on top of this, I can now change my Bayer technology and become a low-cost alumina producer.

ML: Normally, your processes for alumina production can replace the Bayer process and these wastes coming with it, but the long-term idea is not to continue treating the red mud sites?

RB: Nevertheless, there are quite significant quantities. The red muds have been accumulated since a very long time, i.e. since 140 years. There are 3 billion tons of it on the planet. This is the greatest environmental problem of the Aluminum Industry.

RB: This [our process] enables us to do this, but to meet this objective of cleaning-up all of the red mud lakes, we are talking of several systems that will be produced, several licenses that will be sold to people to produce these materials and reduce their own alumina costs, lower Rare Earth price, so that they can be used in many [new] types of applications and not being restricted because a certain rare earth element costs a few thousands dollar [per kg].

End of Part 1

Part 2

ML: We will talk about the stock market. You want to go on the American side: listing on the OTCQX, you are already on the TSX. I imagine there is a financing objective behind this. What is the financing goal about this?

RB: Well, one thing has to be understood right from the start: Orbite is essentially a technological Company, with technologies that can be applied to a set of things, but these technologies have to make their way on the rest of the planet. So the objective is to make the Company progress step by step. So, we have passed from the TSX Venture to the TSX, our next step is to be traded on an American Stock Exchange. It is not the last step but it is an intermediate stock exchange [OTCQX] between the NASDAQ and the AMEX, so it is an intermediate step and we would like [to be listed] before the end of this year. So, we are preparing this entry on the US stock market on the basis that the Company is a Green Technology Company rather than [only] a Mining Company.

ML: I am coming back on this incident that occurred last February and March: Orbite, for which the stock has been halted - no trading for about 5 weeks. The AMF [The Authorité des marchés financiers - Quebec Regulatory Agency] was blaming you for lack of clarity in some scientific reports. What actually happened to come to this point? Because you had submitted other scientific reports in the past... What happened to have the stock trading halted?

RB: But a whole set of things happened. I think the AMF wanted to make sure [the process was viable] because it is a very innovative process. It is a very innovative process, and by definition something that has never been seen. And we said to ourselves, we will demonstrate with all the necessary proofs that there is no problem. Effectively, we have revised the whole document. The document content changes were very minors but 7 to 8 Qualified Persons, people that are specialists on the International level, were associated to this project, that were able to say yes, this technology is viable. It is still positive up to certain point because the bottom line is that we have demonstrated once again that our technology was progressing and working and that things were progressing and that is the proof. In the future, we will pay much more attention to particular details and we will ensure to have a very complete team and we will probably continue to use 4,5,6 times the number of experts normally required to issue such report.

ML: The first revenues, from either the alumina sales, or licensing or Rare Earth sales, when can they be expected?

RB: We are expecting revenues for the beginning of next year.

ML: So, beginning of 2013.

RB: Beginning of 2013. We are talking about the first and second Quarters. Within the first Quarter, we should see the first sales of high-purity alumina. We have customers that are requesting us much larger quantity than what we can produce initially. We will also produce Rare Earths from the Cap-Chat Plant, i.e. the high-purity alumina Plant that is already being built. This Plant will be operating at beginning of next year and we will be able to use it to offer Rare Earth owners in the community a service to be able to process their product. So we’ll be able to offer Rare Earth separation services because we are obviously the first in North America to have produced [and separated] Rare Earths.

ML: I am getting away for a moment from the aluminum context to enter into the broader worldwide base material market, because we are currently having indications of economic slowdown in China, in many other emerging countries. Other examples, we can think of Canada as well as in the USA where the growth is still there but not as strong as it should be. There are recession fears in Europe if not already the case. This has an impact on the global demand of base materials and Orbite, within these environment conditions is trying to enter into the aluminum market with its new technologies. How to get into this market in a period where finally the demand is probably slowing down?

RB: The demand is slowing down.

ML: So, it is not only an impression.

RB: No, not just an impression. The smelter grade alumina price went down from approx. $450 to 300-325 $/ton, the high-purity alumina price went down somewhat but to a much less extent because it is supported by the I-pads of this world and all of the new technologies that everybody wants. So there is still a strong growth. And the LED lights will become the norm in hundreds of countries; [light type] has to been changed within a timeframe, this will contribute to increase the demand for this product. This is the reason why we have such a strong demand for our first high-purity plant [HPA]. But the fundamental answer to your question "How do we do to integrate these markets?": it is by being the lowest cost producer.

ML: Quite simple.

RB: Quite simple. By being the lowest cost producer, we are always having a margin that is still generous for us from the fact that we are below the production costs of the Bayer process; we are also below production costs for the high-purity processes.

ML: That’s all. Richard Boudreault, thank you very much.

RB: Thank you very much. Have a good day.

OUTOTEC OYJ PRESS RELEASE AUGUST 1, 2012 at 3:00 PM

Outotec signs deal to provide technology for Canadian high purity alumina plant

Outotec and Orbite Aluminae have agreed to terms for a project related to the Canadian company's new plant to process high purity alumina. The scope of delivery for Outotec involves both basic and detail engineering as well as providing fluidized bed technology with special Outotec equipment for decomposing and calcining high purity alumina. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the contract value.

Orbite's facility is being built in Cap-Chat, Quebec. The basic raw material in the new process is aluminous clay. High purity alumina is used in a variety of high-end technology applications. Half of the world's annual production of ultra-pure alumina goes into producing synthetic sapphire which is used in fiber optics and, more recently, in LED lighting for home and automotive markets. It is also essential in various new applications in the electronics industry.

Prior to the announcement of this new collaboration between the two companies, Outotec and Orbite had already been working together on another project for the smelter-grade alumina hydrochloric acid-based plant. Two factors involved in Orbite's decision to reward Outotec the new project are the fact that it has proven to be a reliable technology provider and its long-standing reputation as a company capable of executing challenging projects similar to the upcoming work to be performed.

"This project is a perfect example of how Outotec is prepared to meet the highly specialized needs of our customers, such as Orbite's requirements of innovative and clean technology. Not only have we been developing benchmark technologies for more than a century, but we also partner with customers who have unique requirements to meet their goals, and that is why we have remained leaders in the various industries we serve," explains Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.

"We are proud to team up with Outotec, a recognized leader in their field. Their expertise will contribute to a fast deployment of our first commercial plant for high purity alumina," commented Richard Boudreault, president and CEO of Orbite.

Hi tpnl,

die meisten bzw. fast alle Artikel beinhalten eigentlich gar nix Neues, sondern sind entsprechend "aufbereitet" bzw. ins deutsche übersetzt worden (das meiste wurde vorher schon einmal "offiziell" veröffentlicht). Also PR-Kompagne, die den Kurs aber im Moment auch auf die Sprünge hilft...

Hier eine Meinung von Whaspe (Siliconinvestor):
..."Fully funded and cash rich means the market will only pay attention if Orbite does something with that money. However, with HPA revenue fast approaching and RB hinting at licensing red mud technology before that we should start to see an interest from the likes of the big banks. There is clearly an interest in Orbite as a green tech. company from State-side.
I'm fairly confident that Orbite has their attention and the trigger they are waiting for is a whiff of confirmation that the cash flow is coming. This is exactly the sort of company these banks need in terms of attracting and retaining clients for their equity coverage divisions.
$100 million in revenue for 2013 with promise of much higher numbers after that should see a strong ramp-up in price evaluation when Orbite makes good on any one of the business prospects they are chasing."

Quebec elections and possible tax consequences:

Here is what is coming in Quebec.

The election is September 4th and the Parti Quebecois is in the lead. Their new mining policy is to pick up a 5% royalty on sales from all miners, plus a 30% windfall tax on profits after they exceed a certain threshold. That is against the current regime of 16% royalty on net profits.

This policy may not be a show stopper but it will still have a impact on the bottom line.

Eine Info aus Siliconinvestor.com:


Fellow investors,

Here is Mackie Research latest update for Orbite Aluminae.


Russia Data Points Re-ignite ORT Interest
EVENT – Reviewing Comments From RUSAL Yields Insights
Several recent aluminum industry data points serve as a reminder of Orbite’s (ORT)
strategic value to the sector.
IMPACT – Comments From RUSAL Promising For ORT Investors
There has been a pick-up recently in comments made by influential leaders within
the Russian corporate and political sphere. The comments indicate a possible pickup
in infrastructure spending in Russia, and the broader Asia/Pacific area. If this
occurs, a recovery in aluminum demand may also transpire. We view these data
points as positive for Orbite as they may be a pre-cursor to an upgrade of the
RUSAL/Orbite MOU to a definitive agreement in the near-term, and/or reignite
takeout speculation of the Company, and/or earlier than anticipated commencement
of licensing revenues. The following are supportive points to this line of thinking.
1) Yesterday, on September 10th, the CEO of UC RUSAL (0486-HK) made
comments at a Russian aluminum conference that indicated RUSAL plans on
aggressively participating in the recent US$158 billion infrastructure spending
program that China announced recently. Given that RUSAL’s core business is
aluminum, participation in this infrastructure program likely entails a step-up in
aluminum production, and a requirement of additional alumina resource
development.
2) A more direct link between Orbite and RUSAL pertains to other comments
made by RUSAL where the aluminum giant specifically makes reference to Orbite,
and how Orbite’s technology may play a vital role in driving RUSAL’s expansion
plans within the sector. On September 4th, RUSAL issued a press release ahead of
the IV International Non-Ferrous Metals Congress that was held in Krasnoyarsk,
Russia on September 5-7. Of particular interest from the press release were RUSAL’s
comments that: “Another research area to be demonstrated at the congress is
alumina production technology using acid instead of caustic soda developed by
RUSAL together with Orbite Aluminae. The implementation of this technology will
enable kaolin clays of Siberian deposits to be used for alumina production and to
lower RUSAL’s Siberian smelters production costs.”
ACTION – BUY; Orbite is a Crown Jewel to Several Industries
We re-iterate our $9.00 target price on Orbite. This note highlights ORT’s value to
the metallurgical alumina industry, but its value extends into other industries such
as high purity alumina, rare earth processing, and red mud remediation.

White papers. The big Canadian consulting group Secor has posted 5 white papers with excellent overviews of different upcoming revenue segments of ORT's biz plan (doesn't include SGA or smelter grade alumina, and some of the byproducts from SGA production including hematite, silica, etc.). Well worth reading. For any newcomers, note that HPA production comes online in Dec. 2012 and a red mud remediation agreement (e.g., with Nalco, with whom there's a MOU) could happen before that, says CEO Richard Boudreault.

Here's the main link:
http://www.orbitealuminae.com/en/technology/white-paper/

[tpnl]

Die white papers (Link siehe post von rolleg.) geben einen sehr guten Überblick zu den Chancen von Orbite.
Die Hauptaussagen habe ich hier als Zitate aus den 5 Papieren zusammengestellt:

Orbite offers many advantages to its customers, most importantly its proprietary alumina production process that is low-cost and eco-friendly. Conventional alumina production is ill-reputed for its hazardous and caustic residues, especially red mud. Orbite’s proprietary process enables the company to produce alumina without this toxic red mud residue, and its process can even be applied to existing stocks of red mud to remediate it while extracting valuable metals. Orbite can offer its customers a high-quality product, a more environmentally friendly alternative to legacy processes, and an opportunity to diversify their alumina supply thereby lessening their dependence on a single country for supply, namely China.
In conclusion, Orbite has the potential to set new standards for the HPA industry and to have a positive impact on companies purchasing alumina. The possibility of diversifying supply sources and thus avoiding supply vulnerability, accessing a high-quality product at a fair price, and having minimal impact on the environment are some of the advantages that Orbite provides to the industry.

Orbite’s unique process provides both industry and governments with a way to deal effectively and economically with red mud. Not only does it eliminate the generation of red mud residue, but it can also process existing red mud stocks. The payback is also attractive as it allows the recovery and reuse of the valuable red mud materials, including rare earths and rare metals.
The Orbite process is to be used in its HPA plant on full-scale production lines in Q1 2013. Orbite will also use the same production process in the planned construction of a SGA plant, expected to be in the first phase of operation in 2014, allowing the company to demonstrate the value of the technology.

[tpnl]

Hier die zweite Hälfte der Zitate:

Orbite Aluminae, whose main business is alumina production, has developed a proprietary, process that recovers elements such as hematite, magnesium, gallium, commercial-grade silica, and at least 11 rare earth elements, including scandium, as high-value by-products, from various types of ores and even third-party feedstock. At the planned production rate, the plant could produce 60 tonnes of scandium annually, a large quantity in light of the current market. As scandium is produced as a by-product, Orbite’s scandium costs are low. Consequently, Orbite could provide a reliable scandium supply over the long term, at competitive prices, contributing to significant expansion of the market.

The only North American crude gallium producer is expected to be Orbite, a Quebec-based company. Gallium will be a key by-product of Orbite’s smelter grade alumina (SGA) production. Orbite’s unique process allows for the efficient production of high quality gallium more quickly and economically than traditional processes, and with none of the hazardous waste. Orbite is expected to be a low-cost producer of gallium with a projected annual production of ~91 mt per year once the SGA plant is operational, by 2014.
Revenue from gallium and other rare earths and metals should offset total production costs by up to 30%, thereby strengthening Orbite’s position as a low-cost producer. Orbite offers many advantages to its customers, but its capacity to offer a continuous supply of high quality gallium (≥4N) and the opportunity to diversify supply sources are among the most important.
In conclusion, Orbite is expected to become one of the top crude gallium suppliers in the world, setting new standards for the industry in terms of process efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental responsibility, while offering its clients a diversified and secure supply, as well as consistent, high quality at competitive prices.

Orbite has developed a unique proprietary process to concentrate and extract REEs as by-products of its alumina production plant, using the aluminous clay found in its deposit in the Gaspé region of Quebec. The company’s proprietary process enables the recovery of various valued-added elements, including 11 rare earth elements, plus gallium. Orbite has the potential to be an important part of the solution to international concerns regarding potential REE supply shortages and price volatility in the coming years.

Orbite Aluminae Moves Toward Being the First North American Producer of High-Purity Alumina

Published: September 13, 2012

Production of 5N (99.999%) Purity Level to Meet Growing Demand by Technology Manufacturers

By Orbite Aluminae Inc.

MONTREAL, Sept. 13, 2012 — /PRNewswire/ -- Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) (OTCQX: EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company"), a leading provider of clean technology and developer of breakthrough alternative solutions for the alumina production industry, today announced it will begin producing high-purity alumina (HPA) in the first quarter of 2013 at its plant in Cap-Chat Quebec.

Orbite is expected to be the only North American company producing a 5N (99.999%) purity level of alumina, which is a rapidly growing market driven by increasing demand for LED lighting and products – applications that already represent nearly half of the overall market for HPA. By 2015, LED usage is expected to account for about 60 percent of the total HPA market partially due to legislation mandating a shift from incandescent and CFL (compact florescent) to LED lighting.

"Global demand for high-purity alumina is quickly exceeding the available supply," said Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite Aluminae. "Orbite should help address this deficit, which is critical to a range of industries, and is well positioned to be a strategic alternative to the Asian producers who've largely dominated and controlled the market."

Boudreault noted that another key market factor is the quality of the metal. "As technological applications continue to develop and advance, they require alumina that has a higher rate of purity, which is why our laboratory is also working hard to develop a 6N (or 99.9999%) purity level before the Company's HPA commercial plant is in service. The HPA plant, expected in operation early next year, will also enable the production of Rare Earth Elements," he commented.

In addition to LED products, high-purity alumina is also used in the production of semiconductors, phosphor products (e.g. plasma screens), lithium-ion batteries, and automotive sensors. According to Orbite, these are all business segments with substantial growth opportunity lies as demand increases, especially in emerging markets.

High-Purity Alumina (HPA) – Market Potential and Orbite's Competitive Advantages (http://www.orbitealuminae.com/media/upload/filings/HPA_VERSI… which is a research-based analysis by the consulting firm SECOR, details the current state of the HPA market and the opportunities that Orbite offers to prospective customers through its new production capacity.

Lower Costs, Environmentally-Neutral Extraction, and New Applications Orbite's technology will allow for the extraction of alumina from a wide range of source materials such as argillite, bauxite, and fly ash at significantly lower costs and without generating a single ounce of the toxic red mud pollutant that the traditional Bayer process produces. Additionally, the process can extract alumina from red mud residue, and will also be applied for the first time to aluminous clay. In fact, Orbite's clay deposits in the Gaspe region of Quebec will be the primary source material for the production of 5N alumina.

Orbite refined its first commercial samples of 5N purity alumina – produced in its HPA pilot plant – at its laboratory located in Laval, Quebec, which were then sent to potential customers selected according to their alumina needs and their potential for strategic partnerships with the Company as it moves toward commercializing its technologies and activities.

The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Marc Filion, a qualified person under the terms of National Instrument 43-101 Respecting Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (Quebec). Mr. Filion is a consultant of Orbite, and as such, is not independent pursuant to NI 43-101.

About Orbite Orbite Aluminae Inc. is a Canadian clean tech company whose innovative technologies are setting the new standard for alumina production. Orbite technologies enable environmentally-neutral extraction of smelter-grade alumina (SGA), high-purity alumina (HPA) and high-value elements, including rare earths and rare metals, from a variety of sources such as aluminous clay and bauxite, without generating the toxic red mud residue that the traditional Bayer process produces. The Company owns ten different families of intellectual property rights (and patents pending) filed across the world for the extraction of alumina at the highest standards of sustainability. Orbite also owns exclusive mining rights over a total of 60,984 hectares, including the 6,665-hectare Grande-Vallee property, the site of an aluminous clay deposit in Quebec, Canada. An NI 43-101 compliant report dated May 30, 2012 identified over 1 billion tonnes of aluminous clay in part of this deposit. Orbite is currently converting its 2,600 m2 pilot plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, Canada, into a full-scale high-purity alumina production facility, and expects this plant to be fully operational in early 2013. The Company also anticipates the launch of construction of its first SGA plant towards the end of 2013. Orbite plans to offer SGA and HPA products and to license its low processing cost technologies to well-qualified producers who want to reduce their environmental footprint. Orbite has recently entered into partnerships with the world's largest aluminum producer, UC Rusal.

Das könnte den Kursanstieg der letzten Wochen verstärkt haben:

Putin to hold 15 bilateral meetings within APEC summit

Auszug: ..."Putin is also expected to meet with leaders of a number of countries located in the Western hemisphere. One of them is the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who will discuss with him a purchase of a 30% share in the new oil fields in Alberta Province by Russian oil companies and strategic cooperation between the corporations Rosneft and ExxonMobil, as well as a recent agreement between the Russian non-ferrous metals producer RUSAL and the Canadian company Orbit Aluminum, which plan building a joint factory to produce alumina."... http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=28406429

Whaspe wurde gefragt, ob er die letzten Kursziele der Analysten posten könne:

The targets as they last stood are:
Mackie: $9 - actively covering the stock and have a "blue-sky" target of $46
Jacobs: $11.20 - Luisa Moreno, Jacob's analyst covering Orbite is now working for Euro Pacific. I'm not sure if Jacobs still has active coverage.
Jennings: $11.50 - after making Orbite a top pick for 2012, Jennings has been fairly silent on Orbite, the AMF halt likely contributing to this scenario.
M|Partners: $15.00 - had active coverage, but I haven't seen anything from them lately.
Byron Capital: $0.90 - this sell recommendation from Jon Hykawy caused quite a stir last Spring. It is based on his belief that the SGA technology is inherently risky. He currently doesn't ascribe any value to Orbite's HPA business, commenting that such a market doesn't exist and will be replaced soon by other materials.

I expect new coverage from U.S. firms now that Orbite received their OTC upgrade.

The Astounding Rise of Western Rare Earth Extraction: Jack Lifton
http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/14372

Auszug:

JL: Orbite Aluminae Inc. (ORT:TSX; EORBF: OTXQX) in Québec is constructing a solvent-extraction, ion-exchange (SX/IEX) combination plant in the Gaspé Peninsula of Québec as an ancillary part of a system to produce high-purity alumina for the electronics industry. The SX/IEX plant and the process were engineered by a German company, and should be finished by December 31st of this year. The company will then have the system capacity to produce up 1,000 tons of high-purity alumina per year, and it can use the ancillary SX/IEX plant to process the byproducts produced during the processing of its ore to make 99.99% alumina. These byproducts include the full range of rare earths. Orbite will be able to separate all of them from each other and purify them. To prove that, the pilot plant took byproduct containing residues from Orbite's alumina refining operations and produced 200 grams each of 99.99% dysprosium oxide, terbium oxide, erbium oxide, yttrium and cerium. It was amazing, because these are just byproducts of the process Orbite developed for its high-purity alumina. Orbite's ore body contains around 500 parts to 1,000 parts per million of rare earths and associated critical materials like yttrium, gallium, scandium and various rare metals. Orbite should be able to produce tens of tons of dysprosium, terbium and the like. It's all laid out in Orbite's web site, which I urge people to read carefully.

I went to Orbite's company headquarters in Quebec about a month ago and the management said to me, "Our SX/IEX plant will be finished in December, but we're not ready to run it at full capacity from our principal ore body for maybe a year or more." They said, "Can you suggest to us anybody who may have a process leach solution that we could run for them to separate rare earths for them at this purity, 99.99%?" And they explained that even at the beginning, this plant will be able to handle quite a bit of capacity. Management plans to ramp up the main plant from one ton a day (1t/d) of high-purity alumina to 3t/d in a year and a half. But they have capacity to do 3t/d as soon as the plant opens. With the open SX/IEX capacity, the company thinks it could use its facilities to process rare earths for outsiders. And quite frankly, although I'm not at liberty to name names here, quite a few people I've talked to have contacted them. Many companies have the ore, but not the capital it takes to build a large processing plant. When this plant is finished, it will be able to process and purify a total spectrum of rare earths.

Euro Pacific Canada analyst Luisa Moreno has initiated coverage on Orbite Aluminae Inc., (ORT.TO) which has developed a unique technology to produce alumina from clays, with a "buy" rating, the Globe & Mail reported.

She believes the company will be able to start up a full-scale smelter-grade alumina plant by 2015 that will also produce significant byproducts. "If the process viability is proven, we expect to see an increased interest in the Orbite process as the need for new alumina refineries arises," she said.

Moreno set a 12-month price target of $8.

Orbite Announces Successful Development of High-Purity Silica Process

MONTREAL, Sept. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Orbite Aluminae (TSX: ORT; OTCQX: EORBF) (the "Company" or "Orbite") today announced that, leveraging its patented processes for high-purity and smelter-grade alumina production, the Company has developed a purification technology to purify silica based on its hydrochloric acid leaching process. This development allows the Company to purify silica to the 99.9% (3N) level and provides a conceptual base to eventually reach purities of 99.999% (5N) to 99.99999% (7N).

"We are very proud of this technological development," stated Denis Primeau, the Company's Chief Engineer. "Utilizing Orbite's existing processes, we can now take a product that was already at acceptable levels of purity – 96% – up to levels of 3N and greater, making it a value added product."

Worldwide, metallurgical grade silica consumption was 1.37 billion metric tonnes in 2009 and 2.02 billion metric tonnes in 2010. Metallurgical grade silica of greater than 99.99% purity is used to manufacture photovoltaic cells and other high-technology products. In 2009, metallurgical grade silica was selling for approximately $3 per kilogram and higher quality silica (5N-7N) was selling for approximately $35 per kilogram.

Mr. Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite, added, "This is an important breakthrough, particularly considering that silica will be a by-product of our SGA and HPA plants and could provide a higher commercial value than we had anticipated. Our PEA assumption was for low-grade silica sold at a $25 per tonne."

Silica is present in virtually all the raw materials used within the Orbite process, and it provides an additional source of potential revenue for the Company. Since the process is well-suited to purify silica – and given the high proportion of silica in Orbite's Grande-Valle clay deposit – Orbite may become a significant producer of purified silica for mass production applications (e.g., cement, optical glass, etc.) as well as for specialty products, photovoltaic applications, electro-optics, and other industries.

Orbite's high-purity alumina (HPA) plant, on track to be completed by the end of 2012, is expected to produce silica of greater than 99.9% purity. The Company's smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant, projected to begin its first phase of operations in 2014, will have the potential to produce up to 1.2 million tonnes of silica ranging from 95% to more than 99.9% at maximum capacity.

INDEPENDENT EVALUATION

Orbite's silica purification technology was developed in-house. The projected recovery rate of silica within Orbite's global process is now 99.97% and with known methods could reach 5N to 7N levels. The chemical analyses were obtained by an independent laboratory (AGAT Laboratories) while the physical characteristics were evaluated by the independent group Tekna.

The technical content in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Denis Primeau, Eng., a "qualified person" pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). Mr. Primeau is the Chief Engineer of Orbite, and as such, is not independent pursuant to NI 43-101.

From: Whaspe

I've modelled the economics of Orbite's first SGA plant to demonstrate the effect of today's announcement. For this I have remained conservative in pricing, Orbite's silica can now be assumed to fetch $1 per kg or $1000 per tonne. Also, I've added in extra OPEX for this. I've applied the maximum tax rate with out considering allowances and write-offs (too complicated) and set Orbite's share of the JV to 51%. As you can see, even under this conservative consideration the economics are staggering. Your feedback is welcome.

ACHTUNG: SGA erst ab 2015!

Luisa Moreno research update, Sept 19 2012

HIGH PURITY SILICA TOO!
Orbite is now able to produce a silica product of >99.9% (3N) purity that could be sold for >$1,000/tonne. In the PEA of the smelter grade alumina (SGA) plant Orbite used a price of $20 per tonne. Considering that Orbite would be producing ~1.2 million tonnes of silica, this new advancement in the Orbite Process is likely to substantially improve the economics of the SGA plant.

Hier mal ein kritischer Kommentar (wieder von Jon Hykawy):

A fellow shareholder was kind enough to send me Hykawy’s latest comments. I am not nearly as familiar with all the ORT details as others are but doesn’t this sound like a “reprint” of what he published in the Spring?

“Same Old, Same Old? Repetition Does Not Equal Reality: A plethora of white papers and new research by competitor firms are repeating statements previously made by Orbite Aluminae Inc. (Orbite). Those statements are no more persuasive to us today than they were six months ago, or, in our opinion, likely will be six months from now.? White Papering: We dissected some of the more pertinent points in the white papers recently published on Orbite’s web site. Our concerns regarding the business risk of the processes being touted by Orbite and their potential in various markets has not changed.? RUSAL Is Not the First, but What Happened?: We also reviewed some of the more critical points made by other analysts, including the contention that RUSAL’s non-binding MoU provides validation for Orbite. We ask the question: what happened between Orbite and Aluminerie Alouette?? Why Do We Care, Again?: Orbite touts its plan to make a huge splash in the global aluminum, silicon and rare earth industries. At present, though, the global aluminum and silicon industries are in the doldrums and are oversupplied. We believe that rare earth prices will decline further as non-Chinese supply grows. We remain concerned that Orbite’s common shares are over-valued on a risk-adjusted basis.? Conclusions: We previously outlined a series of concerns regarding Orbite’s Grande-Vallée project. These concerns include, but are not limited to: 1) the commodity prices used to perform economic analysis on Orbite’s proposed smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant are extremely optimistic; 2) a lack of inexpensive energy in the region of Orbite’s proposed SGA plant may impact economics; 3) the technology risk to the SGA plant continues to be high, necessitating our use of a higher discount rate than the 10% used within the initial and revised PEAs; 4) the patents issued to Orbite to date protect a form of technology used for the production of high-purity alumina (HPA), and do not appear to deal with SGA or red-mud remediation (although Orbite has advised that it has patent applications pending); and 5) the circulating fluidized bed calciner to be used to produce SGA by Orbite is projected, within the revised PEA, to achieve unreasonably high levels of operating hours, both in our opinion and in the view of several industry experts.”

Rolleg, vielen Dank für den kritischen Beitrag. Orbite macht hervorragende Fortschritte, die viele Fantasien wecken, bestehende Risiken klammern sie in ihren Statements und bei ihrer Werbemaschinerie aber vollständig aus. Das ist für mich auch ein Grund für die heftigen Kursausschläge in dieser Woche.
reini81, ich glaube nicht, dass wir in den nächsten Monaten noch einmal unter 3,00 CAD$ fallen, dafür waren die letzten Neuigkeiten zu gut. Diese Marke wird allerdings nach meinem Empfinden noch einmal getestet werden und dann könnte es bis zum März durchaus auf 5,50 CAD$ (Hoch im März 2011) hochgehen. An mehr glaube ich nicht.
Aber diese Aussagen sind nur Spekulationen und ich kann sie höchstens mit rudimentärem charttechnischen Wissen und meinem Anlegergefühl begründen.

News:

Orbite Aluminae Inc. is pleased to issue this update on the continuing construction of its high-purity alumina (HPA) plant in Cap-Chat.

At the commercial HPA plant, most of the electrical and mechanical equipment, control and instrumentation systems, and mechanical pieces are already onsite in addition to the process vessels, water treatment units, conveyors, compressors, etc., that have already been delivered. The structural and exterior work has reached an advanced stage, as can be seen in the attached photos. Also, the civil engineering and infrastructure work is nearly complete.

The Company also wishes to announce that it has voluntarily adjusted the design of its HPA plant to be able to additionally produce SGA as needed, using the same types of operational equipment that will be used in the planned SGA plant.

Ms. Luisa Moreno of Euro Pacific Canada and Mr. Philip Shen of Roth Capital Partners recently published reports on the Company called “A Clean Break” and “Slaying the Bayer” respectively. These two analysts visited the pilot plant in Cap-Chat and had numerous discussions with Orbite management in order to obtain the information and details needed to write their independent reports.

Finally, Secor, a company recently acquired by KPMG LLP, has published a series of white papers available on Orbite’s website (www.orbitealuminae.com) covering the Company’s markets, its revolutionary technology, and its competitive advantages.

GlennAS posted the following over at Stockhouse :

Nicole Blanchard is one of several IR people working for Orbite. Spoke probably 20 minutes to Nicole, and she answered all my questions with the exception of questions pertaining to high-purity silica. She had an appointment, so I had to differ my HP-silica related questions for later this afternoon (will post any insights on this later). Anyway, here's what I learned ...

1 - Mini SGA plant at HPA facility

Really, this is no big deal from Nicole's perspective. Orbite has been working with engineers and supplies around the design of the HPA production lines, and it was really a no-brainer to use some of the equipment that will be used for the future SGA facility to de-risk the technology. Building the mini-SGA plant will not involve any additional capital expenditure re: building the HPA facility (which is very good news)!

The SGA mini-plant is now essentially part of the design of the HPA facility, and should be fully operational when Orbite's commissions in the HPA facility in December 2012.

Regarding the de-risking of the technology, Nicole also confirmed that this is really more of a system integration/optimization challenge. As the constituent components are already operational in various parts of the world. So it's largely a matter of Orbite's engineers - led by Denis Primeau - working with vendor engineers and RUSAL, etc. to integrate and optimize the technology in the overall design.

2 - A showcase for potential licensees, including red mud remediation

Nicole also concurred that, absolutely, to have a fully operational SGA facility will be a superb showcase facility to bring potential licensees and future JV partners (in additional to RUSAL and Nalco) to visit the facility and see the facility, technology, and design in full operation.

3 - Extracing valuable high-purity products - REE/RM, hematite, silca, etc. etc.

Nicole communicated that Orbite is various focused on the potential for extracting various high-purity products, and is receiving a lot of interest from players around the world in applying Orbite's technology to potential clients particular use case and market applications. Orbite is very busy receiving samples from potential customers around the world for converting their ores/material into high-purity end-products.

Nicole was particularly enthusiastic about the market potential for scandium - as currently the only source of supply is from Russia, and this scandium is really only used for manufacture of jet fighters.

4 - Recent research reports by ROTH and Euro Pacific Capital

Nicole was interested to hear what I thought of the recent research reports produced by ROTH Capital and Euro Pacific Capital, and what differences I noticed between the two reports. From Nicole's perspective, she felt that ROTH looks at Orbite much more as a potential high-multiple clean tech play. While Luisa - being a metalurgist by training - was more inclined to treat Orbite as a resource company.

Nicole communicated that ROTH has a lot of interest from large US institutional investors for a unique high-tech clean technology play, that owns proprietary IP that basically protects a technology platform. Nicole also expects that US institutional holdings will grow over the next months, particularly as Orbite starts generating meaningful revenue.

5 - JV Partners for the SGA Plant

Nicole communicated that Orbite is still looking for additional partners in the JV facility, in addition to RUSAL - her words, "an additional 1 or 2 partners". She also mentioned that one could be a rare-earth company, or even a strictly "finance partner". The idea is to build the SGA plant more as a consortium, in part to spread the risk of commercializing the SGA facility.

6 - Additional MOUs

Nicole communicated that Orbite has signed several MOUs in addition to the RUSAL and Nalco MOUs that Orbite is not yet able to disclose.

7 - Corporate Presentation

Nicole asked if I had seen the updated corporate presentation. I said that I hadn't, and she promised to e-mail it to me. I will post the presentation after I recieve Nicole's blessing. Nicole also communicated that Matt Gowing, Mackie Research's Orbite analyst, had recently published a research note that explored new applications for HPA powder. It would be interesting to get a copy of Matt's note.

8 - In Summary ...

I think that's about it. Hopefully I'll have more later this afternoon regarding high-purity silica.

After selling a portion of my Orbite holdings during the recent runup in the mid-$3 range, I was a buyer again this afternoon. I tell you, IMO, Orbite's story is solid.

Later he added:

9 - HPA offtake agreements

Orbite is in active discussion/negotiations with potential customers re: HPA offtake agreements. Unfortunately, Nicole (understandably) was not in a position to discuss specific details.

10 - Patents

Nicole asked if I had seen the recent announcement regarding Orbite being granted patents in Russia and China. Of course, I answered yes, I had seen these press releases. She added this was very important. Orbite's original patent was fairly general. But since Orbite has been active in the past year testing various ores from clients, they have been able to add/apply for numerous patents covering 11 different patent families for specific applications of their platform technology. So Orbite is very well covered in applying its patents to the application of various ores/end products.

Orbite able to produce alumina from fly ash

Montreal, Quebec. September 26, 2012 – Orbite Aluminae (TSX: ORT / OTCQX:EORBF) (the “Company” or “Orbite”) today announced that, based on its patented clean technology for producing alumina, the Company has successfully developed process parameters and a final design for the production of alumina (smelter-grade or high-purity) using fly ash which is created during coal combustion. This is a promising advancement of Orbite’s green technology, offering attractive opportunities for thermal power producers worldwide.

Fly ash typically contains alumina concentrations ranging from 5-35% along with significant levels of silica, iron, rare earths and rare metals, depending on the original composition of the coal. According to the International Energy Agency, coal generates approximately 41% of the world’s electricity and is a significant fuel source for many industrial thermal processes. According to the International Aluminium Institute (IAI), approximately 43% of alumina produced worldwide in 2011 was manufactured using coal as a fuel source. Until now, fly ash produced by coal-fired thermal power plants were stored in reserves or discharged with few options for recycling outside of cement processes.

“Orbite’s unique technology has once again proven to be groundbreaking in its breadth and scope,” noted Denis Primeau, Orbite’s Chief Engineer. “We have already succeeded in producing alumina samples from source materials including clay, bauxite, and red mud, and we have now successfully expanded our family of feedstocks to include fly ash. It is truly remarkable how quickly we are able to validate the economic advantages of the process in addition to establishing the design criteria.”

Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite, added, “We believe this is a significant breakthrough for Orbite; these results mean that our technology could be used in new ways that were previously unanticipated. Recovery of the elements contained in fly ash would not only solve an environmental liability but also generate revenues for companies using coal-based thermal power in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas.”

This new application of Orbite’s technology is anticipated to be economically viable, based on different sources of fly ash, with an alumina content as low as 15%. Orbite’s preliminary evaluation projected recovery rates which are expected to reach a minimum of 88% of alumina content and 96% of other metals present (e.g., silica, hematite, magnesium oxide, etc). The chemical analyses of the tests materials were performed by the independent laboratory AGAT Laboratories.

Update on construction progress of HPA plant

Orbite Aluminae is pleased to report it will be receiving delivery this week of large glass-lined leaching equipment and multiple reservoirs to its high-purity alumina plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec. Construction work is progressing ahead of schedule and plant commissioning is expected to begin in December.

The technical content in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Denis Primeau, Eng., a “qualified person” pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). Mr. Primeau is the Chief Engineer of Orbite, and as such, is not independent pursuant to NI 43-101.

Also, further to Orbite’s September 26, 2012 press release called Orbite able to produce alumina from fly ash, the Company wishes to share some information on fly ash, a residue generated by coal combustion:

- About 6 billion tonnes of fly ash are stockpiled in the world, with about half in Asia alone;

- About 60-70 million tonnes of fly ash are produced in the United States every year;

- In Canada, coal-fired power plants generate about 4.7 million tonnes of fly ash annually. At the moment, only 31% is recycled and used in various applications, the rest is landfilled;

- Approximately 12 million tonnes of fly ash are produced every year in Australia, of which about 46$ is used and the rest goes to ash disposal sites;

- The accumulative amount of fly ash in China has excessed 2,500 million tonnes in 2006.

MONTREAL , Oct. 2, 2012 /CNW/ - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT / OTCQX:EORBF) (the "Company" or "Orbite") is pleased to announce major technical achievements and the final design phase of the smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant. With the support of M&K, a North American leader in chemical process design, Orbite successfully modified the SGA plant design by incorporating the best practices from the chemical industry and expanding the breadth of its innovative processes, resulting in a significant reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels by at least 30%, and of water by at least 60%. These advancements should lead to a major reduction in the number of operational units required in various aspects of the SGA plant, and provide the basis for a decrease of the estimated operating and capital costs. The final design of the SGA plant is expected to ensure the consistent production of high-quality smelter-grade alumina, while improving Orbite's position as a low-cost producer and leader for clean technologies for the alumina industry.

"These advancements represent a major achievement for Orbite," said Richard Boudreault, Orbite's President and CEO. "By simplifying and optimizing the SGA plant design, we succeeded in our goal of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels while significantly improving the plant economics. This consolidates our position as one of the lowest-cost and environmentally-friendly producers of alumina and its by-products."

As part of the final design of the SGA plant, Orbite developed and incorporated a new proprietary calcination technique using circulating fluid beds that operate at lower temperatures and enable the heat generated from calcination to be reused in the hydrochloric acid regeneration system, thereby, reducing fossil fuel consumption by at least 30%. The final design also reflects important changes to the acid leaching and acid recovery/regeneration systems. Water consumption has been reduced by 60%, resulting in lower volumes of acid solution. These lower volumes automatically reduce the number of separation/crystallization and acid regeneration units required, as well as the number of units required for the individual extraction of by-products. These design improvements are anticipated to have a considerable impact on the plant economics since alumina calcination represented 55% of fossil fuel costs, which in turn represented 60% of all SGA operating costs. The SGA operating cost savings are estimated to be in the order of 20% relative to the PEA (Orbite's Revised Preliminary Economic Assessment dated May 30, 2012 . According to Canadian 43-101 regulations, mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability).

The SGA plant Feasibility Study, which has now entered the detailed engineering and sub-system integration phase, will be modified to incorporate the final design of the SGA plant, and is now anticipated to be completed during the first half of 2013. Construction of the first phase of the first SGA plant is still anticipated to begin in 2013 with completion by late 2014.

"Orbite's unique patented technology has reached another milestone", said Denis Primeau , Orbite's Chief Engineer. "The final design of the SGA plant is now set and brings us one step closer to construction. As anticipated, the integration of previously separate subsystems, as part of the optimization process, and the inclusion of innovations from the chemical industry yielded important synergies. The key drivers were substantial reductions in the quantity of water and energy consumption, both critical factors for chemical processes and improves our environmental footprint. By utilizing circulating fluid beds, our proprietary calcination technique will differ completely from the rest of the alumina industry and will enable our plants to meet and exceed the industry standard for smelter grade alumina. Our ability to innovate technologically while improving the economics of our process through the integration of best practices from the chemical industry has been truly remarkable."

"For M&K, it is obvious that the Orbite process, which we are tasked with integrating as part of the Feasibility Study, has not only been demonstrated using commercially available equipment but also represents the first viable alternative to the Bayer process for the production of smelter grade alumina", added Stanley Myer , M&K's co-founder. "The final design of the SGA plant was established by M&K with Orbite's engineering team and we have validated the improvements cited today. Since it was established, M&K has always been involved in major chemical process projects such as that of Orbite's. As such, all of the equipment, products and by-products under consideration by Orbite are within the realm and expertise of our company."

About Orbite

Orbite Aluminae Inc. or "Orbite" (TSX:ORT; OTCQX: EORBF) is a Canadian cleantech company whose unique technology could have a significant impact on the aluminum industry. Our innovative process allows for the environmentally sustainable production of smelter grade alumina, high-purity alumina and high-quality high-value by-products —including rare earths—from locally sourced aluminous clay and other feedstocks including bauxite, kaolin, nepheline, red mud and fly ash. Orbite plans to operate several smelter grade alumina (SGA) and high-purity alumina (HPA) plants as well as license its technologies to well-qualified producers aiming to reduce their costs and environmental footprint.

The Company owns the intellectual property rights to the patented and proprietary process for extracting alumina from aluminous ores in Canada , USA and Australia , and for which other international patents are also pending for our eleven different families of intellectual property rights. Our process is environmentally friendly and does not produce any red mud. The process extracts and recovers all constituent elements of the feedstocks, thereby producing high-quality alumina and other high-value by-products. The process is enabled by recent innovations in industrial technology and chemical process design that were previously unavailable or unknown to the alumina industry. Orbite built and operated a commercial-scale pilot plant that succeeded in producing commercial samples of smelter grade alumina as well as high-purity alumina and rare earths.

Orbite has exclusive mining rights on over a total of 60,984 hectares in the Gaspe region of Quebec , including the 6,665 hectare Grande-Vallee property, site of an aluminous clay deposit containing an NI 43-101 compliant 1 billion tonnes Indicated Resource sufficient to satisfy a half-century of the total Canadian alumina imports (mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability). Orbite's first High-Purity Alumina (HPA) plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec is currently under construction and due to begin production by year-end at an initial production capacity of 1 tpd increasing to 3 tpd in 2013 and to 5 tpd by 2014. The Feasibility Study for Orbite's first SGA plant has advanced to the detailed engineering phase. An NI 43-101 Revised Technical report, "Preliminary Economic Assessment on Orbite Aluminae Inc. Metallurgical Grade Alumina Project" dated May 30, 2012 is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Orbite has signed a memorandum of understanding with the world's largest aluminum producer, UC Rusal, for participation in the first phase of the first SGA plant.

Orbite has published a series of white papers on the potential markets for its technology including the production of alumina and extraction of rare metals from multiple feedstocks which are available on our website (www.orbitealuminae.com/en/technology/white-paper).

Luisa Moreno: Is It Time to Call a Bottom in Rare Earth Metals Markets?
Source: Brian Sylvester of The Critical Metals Report (10/2/12)
http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/14473

Auszug:
TCMR: Let's talk about Orbite Aluminae Inc. (ORT: TSX; EORBF: OTXQX). It is building a solvent extraction and ion-exchange combination plant as part of a system to produce high-purity alumina to be used in electronics. The plant and process should be finished by the end of the year. Orbite says it's willing to let other companies process their ore there. What do you make of that move?

LM: Orbite has said that it has filed a patent for that process and could help other REE companies that might be facing issues with chemical cracking. It might be very successful in processing it, making a concentrate and then separating it using solvent extraction. My question concerns the economics. It is true that some elements carry higher prices than alumina, such as dysprosium, which is now selling for about $1,200/kg, which is $1.2 million (M)/t compared to alumina, which sells for $320/t. What I am not sure of is if it will be economic to use the Orbite rare earth process for chemical cracking of REE ore as a stand-alone REE plant. Given that most PEAs indicate capital costs of $200–900M, the Orbite process could well be a good alternative. I don't know yet, but it will be interesting to analyze.

But to answer your questions—yes, I think Orbite could introduce at the front end of its process higher-grade ore to boost its rare earths output. Transporting the ore, or mineral concentrate, has to be economically viable, though.

TCMR: When will Orbite begin processing its own REEs?

LM: It should be able to at least produce a byproduct concentrate once its high-purity alumina plant comes on-line in Q1/13.

Higher rare earth production is expected however, when the larger-scale, smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant is built. In the meanwhile, we should be able to visit a fully integrated working plant with Orbite's disruptive technology in less than four months. These will significantly derisk the full-scale SGA plant construction. At Cap-Chat, where Orbite is building its HPA plant, the intermediate, lower-grade material will be produced in a smaller-scale SGA plant with the major acid regeneration systems. This SGA co-plant is similar to the larger-scale SGA plant that is expected to be commissioned in 2014.

Orbite doesn't have a solvent extraction plant right now. There's a pilot plant in Europe that can refine individual rare earths, I think. Orbite could potentially send REE concentrate there and produce small amounts of refined REOs. Orbite will likely build the first separation facility in North America with the capability of refining HREEs, when the first larger SGA plant is built.

TCMR: What kind of advantage does Orbite have in being the only high-purity alumina producer in North America?

LM: There would certainly be a geographic advantage as most high-purity alumina comes from China and Japan. Apparently, Orbite does have a potential cost advantage, so it should be able to come into the market with competitive prices. It seems to be able to control a number of important characteristics, such as granule sizes and distribution as well as purity, which indicates that it should be able to create physical consistency in its products. It seems that the lack of product consistency has been an issue for some of the end users of high-purity alumina in North America who currently get these products from China.

Glenn, technically, when you look at a chart for ORT you can see the stock became massively overbought in mid-September with an RSI of 90, so a substantial retrace was to be expected once the barrage of announcements ended.

The support at about 2.90 from the 20 day moving average (DMA) and the mid-line of the Bollinger Bands mentioned by Value1008 yesterday while correct are relatively weak supports. Therefore it was easy for the shorts to run these "stops" this morning. The area around 2.50 should provide stronger support, especially given that the 50 DMA is rising rapidly to this level (it's at 2.43 today). If 2.50 doesn't hold then we're looking at the 200 DMA for a final support level at around 2.25. This is what I take away from the chart and the stock's trading history.

Fundamentally, I try to keep in mind that at $3.00 a share ORT has a market cap of about half a billion dollars, this for a company which has yet to produce a dollar of revenue, sign any offtake agreements, or finally prove to the doubters its technology works.

Personally, I'm not a doubter and maintain a large core but realistically I think the stock remains vulnerable to shorters and any hint of setbacks in moving to production until it signs off-take agreements and starts generating revenue.

Cheers,

Hi oilgeezer. Thanks for your thoughts.

((Glenn, technically, when you look at a chart for ORT you can see the stock became massively overbought in mid-September with an RSI of 90.))

I hear you, but my question I guess is who was buying? And were they buying to generate upside volatility to short the stock after the ramp? The recent movement from $2.10-ish to $3.90-ish, back down to $2.70-ish has all the feel of "fictitious price movement" to me.

((Fundamentally, I try to keep in mind that at $3.00 a share ORT has a market cap of about half a billion dollars, this for a company which has yet to produce a dollar of revenue, sign any offtake agreements, or finally prove to the doubters its technology works. ... realistically I think the stock remains vulnerable to shorters and any hint of setbacks in moving to production until it signs off-take agreements and starts generating revenue.))

Fair point. And by conventional valuation metrics, I agree that half a billion is a rich market cap for a company with no revenue and no earnings. On the flip side, I don't think the Canadian market has much experience valuating platform technology companies. One thing for sure, Orbite is sure an interesting company/stock to be invested in. Every day is an adventure!

Best wishes,

Oilgeezer, thanks for your post on ORT's T.A. chart. I was thinking yesterday afternoon that the 2.91 area was also around the 50% Fibonacci retrace area for support (not just the 20dma and exact bolly-band midpoint), but as we saw this morning, Byron and co. can easily jerk the s/p down further with the help of concerted selling/shorting and stoploss triggers. They were certainly helped by yet another ignoramus spouting his shallow, uninformed views about ORT on BNN yesterday and helped by the disproportionate quoting of Hykawy in the previous afternoon's Globe & Mail article on ORT--all of which casts more doubt on "whether" or "if" ORT's process works, regardless of what engineers working up close with ORT know to be the true facts: it DOES work, as M&K's co-founder stated in that NR the other day about cost-efficiencies:

"For M&K, it is obvious that the Orbite process, which we are tasked with integrating as part of the Feasibility Study, has not only been demonstrated using commercially available equipment but also represents the first viable alternative to the Bayer process for the production of smelter grade alumina", added Stanley Myer, M&K's co-founder. "The final design of the SGA plant was established by M&K with Orbite's engineering team and we have validated the improvements cited today.

As such, all of the equipment, products and by-products under consideration by Orbite are within the realm and expertise of our company."

*Sigh* Only an enduser offtake announcement and/or licensing announcement at this point will shift a lot of noisy naysayers or doubt-mongers into conceding "I guess it works!"

Speaking of T.A., i think the low 2.70s represents that "magic" 61% number for a Fibonacci retrace. But let's see if the shorts can briefly push it all the way down to the 50 dma area, which should be in mid 2.40s by tomorrow. Frankly, probably too many buyers before then....

Orbite technology expected to revolutionise alumina, REE production
http://www.miningweekly.com/article/orbite-technology-expect…
By: Henry Lazenby
5th October 2012


TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – The developer of a potentially market-changing alumina-producing technology Orbite Aluminae on Thursday said it had found a way to produce high-quality smelter-grade alumina (HGA) at a cost of about 40% less than that produced through traditional methods.

President and CEO Richard Boudreault told Mining Weekly Online that in its quest to “make unobtanium available”, Orbite had discovered a technique to produce HGA and a number of valuable by-products in an environment-friendly and economical way that no other producer had done before.

Orbite’s proprietary plant technology would produce HGA from aluminous clay, bauxite, fly ash and toxic red mud – without leaving waste.

He explained that Orbite was looking at ways to enter the expanding HPA market, but which did not require the same energy input the industry-standard method of purifying aluminous ore, known as the Bayer process, had.

The traditional production of aluminium oxide, or alumina, resulted in a toxic by-product called red clay, which consists of silica, iron, magnesium and a mixture of rare-earth elements (REEs).

Boudreault explained that the company worked on refining its technology to produce smelter-grade alumina (SGA) from bauxite, and then make use of the resultant red clay to further reduce production costs.

“We developed a technique to split the ore into its constituent components, leaving us with a host of high-purity elements we could market,” he said.

The process, in its simplest form, revolved around the ore being held together by silica, being dissolved in a strong hydrogen chloride (HCl) solution, which then freed the other elements of iron, magnesium and sought-after REEs such as gallium and scandium.

The process resulted in a pure grade of alumina, which would give Orbite a significant competitive advantage in the HPA market, which covets net margins of about 30%. Boudreault explained that the by-product elements are removed from the HCl when it is washed for reuse.

Boudreault said the fact that the company could extract REEs gallium and scandium was a bonus, owing to gallium being a sought-after substrate for use in light-emitting diode lights, and scandium being “the unobtanium”, owing to it being a form of hexagonal aluminium that is stronger and lighter than average aluminium and is increasingly finding applications in the aerospace industry.

INTELLECTUAL LEVERAGE

Boudreault explained there were 11 patent families protecting the company’s proprietary technologies across the globe.

If anyone wanted to produce HPA through one of the company’s technologies, Orbite would receive royalties. And, Boudreault pointed out that HPA produced by using its technique carried a distinct signature within the metal, which secured the company a virtual monopoly in the HPA market.

Orbite, which is currently constructing its first full-scale HPA plant in Quebec, believed its technology would place it apart as the only REE producer in the North Americas by a significant margin. Owing to it being able to produce HPA much more cheaply, the fact that it had comparatively negligible transportation costs to the North American market than other sources and that it did not leave polluting residues, the company had a significant upper hand in the alumina market.

Orbite recently said refinements to the overall design of its plant had resulted in significant reductions in energy and water use, as well as operational- and capital-cost savings.

The company said that together with chemical process design specialist M&K, the final plant design incorporated best practices from the chemical industry, resulting in a 30% reduction in fossil fuel use and 60% less water consumption. The improved design would also result in reduced capital costs.

Meanwhile, French bank Natixis recently said the aluminium market was suffering from “chronic oversupply”, as expected supply cutbacks had failed to materialise and new capacity was coming on stream from China and the Middle East.

The company’s Toronto-listed stock on Thursday traded down 5.50% at C$2.75 apiece.

Zur Konstruktion der HPA plant (high purity aluminia) - nichts Neues aber gut zusammengestellt:


Orbite Aluminae (Orbite), a clean technology company based in Canada, is constructing a high purity alumina (HPA) plant at Cap-Chat in the Gaspe region of Quebec.

"The HPA produced by the plant will have a purity level of at least 99.99%. The purity level is expected to increase over time."
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new facility took place in June 2012. The construction will be completed by December 2012. Commercial operations are expected to start by early 2013.

The plant is expected to produce three tons of HPA each day during the initial stages, which will be expanded to five tons a day by 2015.

The HPA produced by the plant will have a purity level of at least 99.99%. The purity level is expected to increase over time.

The investment for the construction of the HPA plant is estimated at between $26m and $30m after refundable tax credits, which are subject to approval by government authorities.

HPA plant location and market proximity
The HPA plant is being built as an inclusion to Orbite's existing HPA pilot plant in Cap-Chat. The new facility will turn the pilot plant into a complete state-of-the-art facility.

The feedstock for the plant will be aluminous clay, fly ash, red mud, argillite and bauxite. The aluminous clay, which is the primary feedstock for the production of HPA, will be delivered from Orbite's Grande-Valee site in Quebec.

The Grand-Valee site's proximity to several ports and the St. Lawrence River provides easy transportation of HPA to various markets around North America.

Purpose of the high purity alumina complex
Orbite is constructing the new facility owing to the growing demand for LED-based lighting systems over the CFL and incandescent lighting systems on the market.

"The HPA plant is being built as an inclusion to Orbite's existing HPA pilot plant in Cap-Chat."
HPA is a major component used in the manufacturing of LED-based lighting systems. The LED systems currently make use of 50% of the overall HPA production in the market, which is expected to further grow to 60% by 2015.

Orbite will be the sole producer of HPA in North America if the plant begins commercial production.

HPA is also used in the manufacturing of semi conductors, phosphor products, lithium-ion batteries, automative sensors, high-pressure sodium vapour lamp tubes, synthetic sapphires, high tech lasers and polishing of optic and electronic equipments. It is also used in the production of video and computer equipments.

Construction and technology at Orbite's plant
The construction of the HPA plant includes foundation and exterior works, plus installation of processing equipments such as water treatment units, conveyors, processing tanks, compressors, evaporators, product containers, large glass-lined leaching equipment and a number of mechanical and electrical systems.

Orbite will use its patented technology to produce alumina using clay as feedstock. It will be an environmentally-friendly production process, which will not generate toxic red mud compared to the conventional Bayer process of alumina production.

The patented technology can also be used for the production of alumina using red mud, bauxite and argillite as feedstock.

Producing HPA at Orbite's Canadian facility
"The plant is expected to produce three tons of HPA each day during the initial stages."
The production process of HPA begins with the pre-treatment of clay through crushing and grinding to get a particular particle size for leaching.

Particles are then leached using hydrochloric acid, causing all metals except chloride solutions to dissolve. The insoluble titanium and silica are removed through filtration.

The next step involves separation and precipitation of iron using a medium reaction, where aluminium hydroxide is extracted. The aluminium hydroxide then undergoes calcination to produce alumina. Hydrochloric acid is also recovered and regenerated during this process.

Orbite has also developed a new process technology for the production of alumina in September 2012. The new patented technology is capable of producing alumina using fly ash as feedstock.

Key players for the Quebec-based project
Gastier has been contracted to manage the project. The company will also be involved in making necessary preparations for the plant's commissioning.

The design and construction work of the project is being carried out by the Canam Group. Outotec will be responsible for carrying out the calcination work. A rotary tube and vertical furnace are being provided by Harper.

Emerson Process Management will provide the process control instrumentation for the plant. Emerson, along with Laurentide Controls, will also assist Orbite in enhancing the profitability of the patented process control extraction technology. They will be responsible for assuring the efficiency and safety of the plant's operation and also look at possible means of reducing operating costs.

Rotschlammkatatstrophe 2010 in Ungarn:



Am 4. Oktober 2010 war ein Auffangbecken des ungarischen Aluminiumwerkes MAL AG mit toxischem Rotschlamm geborsten. Mehr als 700.000 Kubikmeter der giftigen Flüssigkeit gelangten in die Umwelt und begruben zwei Orte und rund 2.000 Hektar Land unter sich. Greenpeace analysierte die Schadstoffkonzentration in dem Gebiet ein Jahr nach der Katastrophe. Der Fluss Torna ist überdurchschnittlich hoch verunreinigt. Besonders auffällig ist der für Fische hoch giftige Aluminiumgehalt. In Boden- und Mais-Proben wurden nach wie vor Giftstoffe gefunden.

Orbite Adds Gallium and Scandium Separation Facility at the HPA Plant
http://at.marketwire.com/accesstracking/AccessTrackingLogSer…

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 10/22/12 -- Orbite Aluminae Inc. (OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") today announced it has reached an agreement with the firm M&K of St. Louis, Missouri (USA) for the engineering and construction of a separation plant capable of producing gallium oxide at a purity of 4N (99.99%) and scandium oxide at a purity of 2N or greater (99%+) from the acid recovery circuit of its HPA plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec. This addition represents a major advancement for Orbite's business plan, which had previously anticipated that the separation and production of these two oxides would begin with the Company's smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant. The separation facility, which had already been designed as part of the SGA plant, will now be integrated into the HPA design, thus advancing the production of gallium and scandium into 2013.

Yves Noel, Orbite's Chief Marketing Officer, commented, "We are receiving much more interest for immediate delivery of scandium and gallium than we had anticipated from the market. As a result, we intend to capitalize on these opportunities to quickly establish ourselves as a key supplier of high purity and high value products."

Stan Meyer, co-founder of M&K, added, "The ability to separate and produce these two rare metal oxides at a high-purity level represents a smart, strategic move for Orbite. We are proud to assist in the integration of the rare earth separation plant design, first conceived for the SGA facility, into the HPA plant design. Combining Orbite's technology with our own expertise, we continue to build on our solid partnership, which is the best bet to ensure the project's success."

Construction of the HPA plant is still ahead of schedule, with commissioning expected to begin in the next few weeks and completion by the end of 2012. The civil engineering and infrastructure work is now more than 98% complete, while the electrical work is also ahead of the original construction timetable.

Changes in Orbite's R&D Team

Orbite also announces the departure of Dr. Joel Fournier, who until recently was involved with the research team at Orbite's laboratory located in Laval. Dr. Hubert Dumont, the Technical Director of the research team, is assuming those responsibilities in assisting Richard Boudreault with Research & Development and Operations. Mr. Fournier will continue to advise Orbite on an ongoing basis should such assistance be required.

"There is no doubt in my mind that Orbite's technology, which is avant-garde and revolutionary on many levels, already ensures the Company's imminent success. I have complete confidence in the abilities of the management team to achieve this and, in particular, would like to salute Richard Boudreault for his leadership, boldness and vision," stated Dr. Joel Fournier.

The research team at the laboratory in Laval, consisting of eight members, will continue to work under the continued direction of Dr. Hubert Dumont, who joined Orbite as the Technical Director in September 2011. Dr. Dumont holds a Doctorate in Chemical Physics and has more than 15 years of experience in the industrial development of high-purity products and of separation and purification technologies related to the metallurgical, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.

Orbite Invited to Brazil and Singapore

Important industry participants in the alumina and aluminum industry are recognizing more and more the impact that Orbite's clean technology will have on their activities. In reflection of this, members of Orbite's engineering team together with members from Rusal UC have been invited to present at the 19th International Symposium of ICSOBA (the International Committee for Study of Bauxite, Alumina & Aluminium) October 30-31 in Brazil. This is a key gathering of academics and market participants involved in the bauxite, alumina and aluminum industries. In particular, Orbite will give two presentations at the conference - the first will review Orbite's technology and its applications ("The Orbite Process: an Integrated Acid-Based Technology for Extracting Alumina from Clay and Alternative Feedstock"), while the second discusses the economics of red mud remediation and the extraction of value-added materials contained therein ("Remediation of Red Mud Using an Innovative Approach: A World-First Totally Integrated Process"). ICSOBA is an independent non-profit organization representing professionals from the bauxite, alumina, and aluminum industries, as well as suppliers of technology, researchers, and consultants from around the world.

Separately, Orbite's Chief Marketing Officer, Yves Noel, will be in Singapore to attend the 2nd Asian Bauxite & Alumina Conference, held on October 31, where he will be introducing Orbite's technology to the participants as part of a forum entitled "The Orbite Process: Low-Cost, Eco-Friendly Red Mud-Free Alumina Production from a Variety of Ores." This conference brings together key decision-makers from the bauxite and alumina industry.

Auf Siliconinvestor (Danke rolleg für den Tipp!) läuft gerade eine interessante Diskussion, wie die Neuigkeiten zur Hinzunahme einer Scandium- und Galliumproduktion zur HPA Plant zu verstehen ist bzw. welchen Umfang diese haben könnten.

Hierzu äußert sich glenn_a wie folgt:

I had two phone calls with Louis Morin this AM. In the first call he stated that the impact of scandium/gallium production would be "material" (which I inferred to be greater than a couple million in 2013). I phoned him back to clarify, and then he reversed his position and stated that no, the scandium/gallium production would NOT be "material" (when I brought up the #'s gegetrane provided).

- I then spoke with Nicole Blanchard in the early afternoon. She also concurred that the scandium/gallium production would NOT be material.

However, in my conversations with both Louis and Nicole, I got the sense that they weren't really clear on the economics of the scandium/gallium production in the HPA plant.

- Then later this afternoon, Louis Morin left a message on his answering machine. He stated that he wanted clarification on my question regarding "materiality", so he spoke with Orbite management (he didn't say who on the phone). He stated that Orbite management confirmed that incremental revenue from scandium/gallium production in the HPA plant would be measured in the "tens of millions of dollars" in 2013. The thing is, this doesn't jive with the price points published in the PEA for scandium/gallium combined with the expected feedstock to be processed at the HPA plant (as per gegetrane's analysis earlier). So I'm going to follow up with Louis tomorrow AM.

I tell you, it's been quite the exercise to understand EXACTLY what the strategic and revenue impact of scandium/gallium production at the HPA is exactly. Hopefully tomorrow clears things up.

Hope this helps.

ORBITE - ORT - Daily Commentary


Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous SELL recommendation was issued on 10.04.2012 (22) days ago, when the stock price was 2.9100. Since then ORT has fallen -13.75% .



The BUY-IF alert is still valid. A confirmation today however is denied. The pattern is not rejected yet since the day was not a long black candlestick one. The market is currently testing your patience. Continue to do your homework by digesting all available information around.

The final judgment about the evolving pattern waits the next session. Either the alert will be confirmed by one of the valid confirmation criteria or the bullish alert will be void and null.

It is still your duty to check the confirmation criteria when the next session opens. Reminding briefly; a white candlestick with an upward gap, a white candlestick closing above previous close and a long white candlestick with a big downward gap is sufficient to confirm the BUY-IF alert though with a one day delay. Go long in any of these cases by respecting the benchmarks. In any other case, simply ignore the BUY-IF alert. The next session is the last chance we allow for confirmation. A confirmation failure renders the assumed bullish pattern totally invalid and starts the process of searching for a new pattern.

We do not yet suggest any new short positions given the bullish alert. The short sellers should consider covering their positions if the market confirms the BUY-IF signal. Otherwise, existing short positions should be carried.

- The two Orbite Aluminae technical presentations have been extremely well received by the major players attending the conference (Rio Tinto Alcan, Alcoa, Hydro (Norway), Chalco, Nalco, UC Rusal, Dubai Aluminum, etc.). It looks like Orbite Aluminae is now very well accepted in the Industry, now part of the big family.



- Orbite Aluminae technical credibility has significantly increased. All of the top technical persons of the major companies were there and Orbite Aluminae could not perform any better. Orbite's Chief Engineer Denis Primeau made very good presentations. A lot of companies were taking notes including Rio Tinto Alcan, UC Rusal, Outotec, FLS, Bokela, etc. People now seem to understand the significance of Orbite technology.



- Very close to a standing ovation at the end of both presentations. The most welcome presentations of the Conference. Also, Orbite Aluminae delegates have received many warm congratulations. It seems serious discussions were triggered following those presentations.



- UC Rusal presented right after Orbite presentation about the SGA, and UC Rusal's Andrey Panov spontaneously gave strong support to Orbite Aluminae SGA Project in front of more than 200 persons.



- Everybody was talking very positively about Orbite and their technologies.



- Generated a lot of interest and positive momentum already in the hours following the presentations.



- Presentations and the two papers presented will be most likely sent to analysts.



Two international Home Runs for Orbite Aluminae that will generate a lot of positive effects.

Hallo Oberkassel,

wenn ich dir die Frage beantworten könnte, wäre ich ein reicher Mann.
Ich kann sie aber durch weitere Fragen ergänzen, die deine Frage relativeren:
Wie lange willst du in ORT investiert bleiben?
Welchen Zielhorizont hast du in diesem Zeitraum für den Kurs (Verdoppelung in einem Jahr erfordert anderes Handeln als 30% Gewinn in vier Monaten)?
Wie viel Geld willst du anlegen (Macht ein gestaffelter Einstieg sind)?
Was glaubst du wie sich der Gesamtmarkt entwickelt?

Hallo tpnl,

danke für deine Fragen und Statements.
Ich verfolge ORT schon 15 Monate und war viele Monate investiert

ORT ist für mich ein Langfrist Investment - 3-5 Jahre.

Da aber die Aktie in den letzten Monaten sehr volatil war habe ich Mai/Juni 2012 die Reissleine gezogen. Habe mein Portfolio zu diesem Zeitpunkt verändert.
Stärkere Ausrichtung Asien und Pharma/ Biotec. - Gute Entwicklung !!
Habe nur noch drei Rohstofftitel - Goldcorp, Altona Mining sowie Aurcana.

Meine Favoriten sind ORT und RXG: Rohstoffe + Technologie !!

5-10 % meines Portfolios in ORT, Anlagehorizont 3-5 Jahre, Ziel > 50%, Gesamtmarkt stetig zunächst fallend - Tendenziell aber wird der Markt sich positiv entwickeln.

Ich habe die Frage gestellt, da die Aktie stetig sich wieder abwärts wieder entwickelt. Mein Einstieg bei 1.70-1.75 € - wollte nur eine Bestätigung haben - lese viel auch in Stockhouse und Silicon Investor zu ORT!
Stimme dir zu einen optimalen Einstieg gibt es nicht - aber das Momentum muss stimmen - die Aufwärtsbewegung !

Danke und wünsche dir viel Erfolg - würde sehr gerne den Gedankenaustausch weiter führen - auch seit circa 14 Jahren On Tour !

Orbite Aluminae granted option to acquire Nova Scotia clay property

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – TSX-listed Orbite Aluminae has entered into an agreement with a private company for an exclusive three-year option to acquire mineral claims and exploration rights of the Chaswood kaolin clay and sand property located in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Orbite said the Chaswood property consists of 163 claims comprising 2 608 ha in central Nova Scotia, which is accessible by a network of paved highways and all-weather secondary roads. The property is located near a natural gas pipeline and near to the Port of Halifax, a significant commercial port that could enable national and international shipments from a nearby smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant.

“Our vision is to build several SGA plants serving the Northern Atlantic, including Quebec, the world’s third-largest aluminum-producing region. This option agreement allows us to pursue our objectives for growth while providing the potential to diversify the SGA plant locations and feedstock material within the wider region,” Orbite CEO Richard Boudreault said.

He added the company already held significant aluminous clay properties in Quebec, extending from the Quebec City region to the flagship Grande-Vallée property, in the Gaspé Peninsula.

Nova Scotia Natural Resources Minister Charlie Parker welcomed the company to the maritime province, saying Orbite’s innovative technology for producing alumina and its industry experience made them a welcome addition to the province's business community.

Parker added that Nova Scotia's natural resources, including rich deposits of kaolin clay, access to a competitive energy supply, cost-effective transportation network and a streamlined permitting process made it a “province a good choice”.

Orbite said the Chaswood property holds cretaceous sediments, collectively termed the Chaswood Formation, which is found throughout the maritime provinces, which typically contain 20% to 23% alumina in the kaolin-rich silty clays and 95% to 99% silica in the silica sand. Laboratory testwork had confirmed that the kaolin-rich clay fraction alone contains 30% to 38% alumina.

However, in order to develop a National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource, it intended to review and compile historical data, complete a surface exploration and mapping programme, and complete additional drilling to improve drill spacing, particularly in the southern end of the property.

PILOT PLANT CONSTRUCTION

Meanwhile, the company reported the services, utilities, infrastructure and civil engineering work at its high-purity alumina (HPA) plant being built at Cap-Chat, in Quebec, had been completed and about 80% of the main process equipment was on site, which was ahead of the original schedule.

The plant is expected to start initial commercial production of 4N to 6N HPA in the first quarter of 2013 and the production capacity would gradually increase to three tons a day by mid-2013. As part of the HPA plant design, part of the equipment had already been provided capacity of five tons a day. The company said it expected to upgrade fully to increased production by the end of 2013.

The Orbite’s shares closed at C$2.50 apiece on the TSX on Thursday

Der Kurs von ORT nimmt stetig ab von den letzten neuen Handelstagen TSX, acht Tage davon im Minus, er nähert sich vor dem letzten grossen Aufstieg im September wieder in die Regionen vom April 2012.

Ich denke bald wieder Einstiegsoptionen.

[tpnl]

Hallo Oberkassel,

in den Bereich Pharma/ Biotec. traue ich mich nicht - davon verstehe ich einfach zu wenig. Genauso meide ich Projekt in Asien, Afrika und Südamerika. Die Chancen sind da zwar riesig, die politischen und anderen Risiken (Klima, Mafia etc.) jedoch auch.
Bzgl. ORT deckt sich unsere Einschätzung und der Anlagehorizont. ORT neigt zu einer hohen Volatilität. Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass eine Meldung ausreichen könnte und die Aktie steigt in wenigen Tagen/ Wochen um 100%. Daher trade ich ORT auch nicht.
Mein absoluter Favorit ist seit ca. 2 Jahren RGX. Also auch hier Übereinstimmung.
Aurcana habe ich ebenfalls lange gehalten, bin jedoch nach dem Wassereinbruch raus. Bei Altona bin ich dem Kurs mit meinen Kauforders immer hinterher gelaufen, aber nie zum Zug gekommen...
Bei Gold bevorzuge ich Dalradian, Balmoral und Colt.
Doch zurück zu ORT. Ich wünsche dir einen geglückten Einstieg und dann hoffentlich bald steigende Kurse.

Guten Morgen muenchenguru,

schön von dir wieder zu hören.

Inwieweit der Mut belohnt wird, wird sich in den nächsten Wochen zeigen.

Wie bereits geschrieben habe ich im September kurz vor dem Anstieg von ORT meine Positionen des Depots verändert. Dabei habe ich ORT und AUN sehr stark reduziert und habe andere Sektoren aufgerüstet, da das Rohstoffumfeld nicht die gewünschten Ergebnisse erzielt haben.

Um nicht wieder den Anschluss bei ORT zu verpassen habe ich gestern eine Ankerposition aufgebaut - der Begriff Ankerposition gefällt mir richtig gut !

Es ist durch aus denkbar das wieder bei ORT auch noch bessere Einstiegswerte man erhalten wird (max 1,70 EUR) tiefer denke ich nicht das es gehen wird! Meine Meinung.

Ich denke das Jahr 2013 wird das entscheidene Jahr für ORT werden - siehe aktuelle Präsentation, ob wir die Früchte schon in 2013 ernten - mal sehen.

Mein Optimismus ist gegeben !

Die realwirtschaftliche Situation ist nicht rosig - korrekt - auch das politische Umfeld ist nicht gerade stabil Nahost ! Irak ! Chine neue Führung ! Europa Konflikt arm und reich Unterschied wird leider grösser.

Gab es auch in der Vergangenheit ...
......

Aber trotzdem das Geld muss invetiert werden ! Daher tendenziell Pfeil nach oben.

Daher investiere ich in Unternehmen die Innovationen bieten - Innovation in Bezug auf Produkt,-,Verfahrens-, Soziale Innovation sowie Prozess Innovation - Orbite erfüllt Sie nach meinen strengen Kriterien.

Ergo: Rohstoff + Technologie + Umwelt + Top Management + Long Strategy !
Diese Invests werden Früchte bringen - definitiv !

Gilt nicht nur für den Rohstoffsektor auch für Märkte Biotech, Pharma usw..

Zurück zu RGX sehe ich auch wir ORT sehr optimistisch - musste mich aber entscheiden zwischen RGX oder ORT. Ein Wert davon reicht !

Aufgrund meines Zeitfensters in ORT investiert !

Titanium Corp werde ich mir anschauen - danke. Infos folgen.

Muss jetzt los zur Arbeit ....

Liebe Grüsse nach München!

About Orbite

Orbite Aluminae Inc. is a Canadian cleantech company whose innovative technologies are setting the new standard for alumina production. Orbite technologies enable environmentally-neutral extraction of smelter-grade alumina (SGA), high-purity alumina (HPA) and high-value elements, including rare earths and rare metals, from a variety of sources such as aluminous clay and bauxite, without generating the caustic red mud residue that the Bayer process, traditionally used by the great majority of the industry, produces. The Company owns 100% of fourteen different families of intellectual property rights (and patents pending) filed across the world for the extraction of alumina at the highest standards of sustainability. Orbite also owns exclusive mining rights over a total of 585 km2 including the 33.4 km2 Grande-Vallée property, the site of a homogeneous aluminous clay deposit in Quebec, Canada containing an NI 43-101 compliant, Reviewed Preliminary Economic Assessment, dated May 30, 2012, Indicated Mineral Resource of 1.04 billion tonnes (see ORT May 31, 2012 press release for a detailed breakdown of the resource). Orbite holds a mining lease on a portion of the deposit. Orbite is currently converting its 2,600 m2 pilot plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, Canada, into a full-scale high-purity alumina production facility, and expects this plant to be fully operational by the first quarter of 2013. The Company also anticipates the initiation of construction of its first SGA plant towards the end of 2013. Orbite plans to offer SGA and HPA products and to license its low processing cost technologies to well-qualified producers who want to reduce their environmental footprint.

Ein guter Kommentar von Omega_Wolf auf dem Silicon Investor zum Private Placement:

Follow the math. They had $60M end June by their own SEDAR filed statements which went to $42M end September. Since they're going through roughly $5M a quarter (6 in Q2, 4in Q3), the $14M missing is going to have largely been spent on the plant they started building around June.

Also in June the $60M was in short term investments but in September all but $5M was moved into cash. That's because they're spending $50M roughly putting this HPA plant up.

So without this placement they would be entering 2013 with roughly $1M in cash.

That's $42M end September less the $5M to keep the lights on less $36M to finish the plant. Some of that will spill over into 2013 but that money is already spent.

By using their tax credits as collateral to secure $25M at this time Orbite has done what it must to put itself in a position to win. That's enough money if they keep themselves in check to get through the year and probably get that expansion going. And just the three silos that are being assembled as we speak and the expanded facility they've committed to build, they can come out of this year (2013) with a large enough running profit (free cash flow) to finish the 2 silo expansion and move on a second HPA plant if that's in the cards.

If you want to go into 2013 with one million dollars in the bank be my guest. I don't. We couldn't. And now we're not which is one more hurdle out of the way in the real world - not the comic book world.

(...)

I invested in ORT as I've explained consistently precisely because I saw a road to HPA in the pieces they had achieved including that they already had the cash to build the plant. That risk is can they make it work in production. And with this placement that has returned back to being the only killer risk on the horizon.
The run rate on achieving that is about $500,000 a quarter. Arranging something like this at this time was critical. And the markets know that. ...

wohinistmeinGeld,

Danke - "Slogan" ist mir bekannt !

Durch was wird deine These begründet bei ORT ?
Welche Argumente sprechen gegen ORT ?

Letztes Jahr war der Kurs von ORT auch sehr schwach im Nov/Dez. 2011,
in 2012 Charttechnisch im Aufwärtstrend !

Durch die "Tax Saison" (Verkauf durch steuerliche Aspekte)wird den Kurs im Dezember mehr schwächeln als das er aufwärts geht.

Aber in Q1 wird der Kurs, wenn die Märkte relativ stabil verlaufen, wieder Richtung Norden gehen - wichtige News siehe Stockhouse und SI (besser als Stockhouse).

Sehe ORT als Longinvest !

wen interessieren die Märkte?
Das ist eine kleine Firma die nichts hat, kein operatives Geschäft, außer einer Baustelle. Die Frage ist ob und wie sie produzieren werden, und ob sie jemals eine aktuelle MK von 500 Mio rechtfertigen werden. Der Kursverlauf zeigt dass die wenigstens daran glauben, und das trotz der Pusherbriefe die Kursziele oberhalb von 10, manche sogar über 15 EUr ausschreien. Alleine das ist für mich Warnung genug, wann haben die schon mal recht, oder anders gesagt, die haben ihre eigenen Interessen.
Die Vergangenheit ist uninteressant, egal wo der Kurs mal stand, es zählt nur was kommen wird. Wird die Produktion so wie die Pusherbriefe schreiben, dann kann der Markt abstürzen und die Aktie macht trotzdem ihren Lauf, aber die besten Märkte werden nicht helfen wenn es eine Luftnummer ist.

Nur weil ein Aktien-UN noch keinen Gewinn abwirft, muss es nicht ewig so sein, insb. wenn sie im Aufbau betrifft.
Nur weil eine Aktie hoch bewertet ist, heißt das automatisch, dass es ungerechtfertigt ist.

Ich muss Dich nicht überzeugen, DYODD gilt immer, also selbständige Analysen betreiben.
Wenn man aber in den Minenbereich einsteigen will bzw. Rohstoffbereich (Orbite ist eigtl. ein Mischwerk zw. Minen-,Rohstoff- u. Techbereich) , dann wäre wohl jetzt eine gute Gelegenheit.

Orbite sees steady market growth as demand intensifies
By: Henry Lazenby
13th December 2012
Updated 1 hour 47 minutes ago

http://www.miningweekly.com/article/orbite-sees-steady-marke…

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – The price of alumina is expected to crest and stabilise at about $330/t by the end of the year, buoyed by strong demand from the construction and high-technology sectors, Quebec project developer Orbite Aluminae CEO Richard Boudreault believes.

The alumina market is expected to expand by about 6% a year, while that of more refined high-purity alumina (HPA), is expected to grow by about 15% to 20% a year.

In an interview with Mining Weekly Online, Boudreault said one of the strongest trends currently driving up the demand for aluminium, which is derived from alumina, is the construction sector.

When one looks at the construction-materials market in broad terms, aluminium is currently cheaper than wood, owing to the price for aluminium currently being depressed and that of wood rising, as the US housing industry is slowly picking up momentum.

The aeronautics industry is also relying significantly more on aluminium as a light and durable material from which to manufacture aircraft parts. Boudreault pointed to all modern aircraft manufacturers making large-scale use of the material, especially its speciality alloys.

“We are expecting the aeronautics industry to account for a big increase in demand for aluminium, especially aluminous-scandium alloys. It is expected that there will be about twice as many intercity flights taking place in a decade than now, which calls for many new modern airplanes to be built,” he said.

Boudreault also pointed out that high-technology uses for HPA are on the rise, as many countries and local governments are making regulatory adjustments in favour of light-emitting diode lighting to replace the traditional incandescent bulb, further pushing up the demand for alumina.

But, the alumina market is currently flooded, and has forced certain producers using the traditional Bayer-extraction process to shutter smelters and wait until the market turns and the alumina price strengthens.

However, Boudreault is of the opinion that when the markets have regained momentum, it might be too late for a number of these producers to get back on their feet, owing to the implementation of tighter environmental legislation such carbon taxes, and increasing energy prices biting into profits.

“Growth on the alumina supply side is expected to average 6% in the medium term, as constricted production capabilities of the Bayer process are less competitive at lower prices,” he said.

And this is precisely where Orbite Aluminae plans to redefine the alumina market, by producing alumina at a negative cost through its proprietary extraction process.

Orbite has developed a process, which would produce HPA from aluminous clay, bauxite, fly ash and toxic red mud – without leaving waste. Boudreault said Orbite’s HPA process is able to produce a host of rare earths contained in the feedstock, catapulting the process into the realm of being an environmental solution for red mud.

Boudreault said Orbite had received “extreme” interest for its alumina-extraction technology from countries such as India – where a number of red mud spillages have taken place – and China.

Meanwhile, the company reported the services, utilities, infrastructure and civil engineering work at its HPA flagship plant being built at Cap-Chat, in Quebec, had been completed and about 80% of the main process equipment was on site, which was ahead of the original schedule.

The plant is expected to start initial commercial production of 4N to 6N HPA in the first quarter of 2013 and the production capacity would gradually increase to three tons a day by mid-2013. As part of the HPA plant design, part of the equipment had already been provided capacity of 5 t a day. The company said it expected to upgrade fully to increased production by the end of 2013.

Orbite’s TSX-listed shares traded at C$2.69 apiece on the TSX on Thursday.

News von heute:

Orbite Announces Commissioning of its HPA Plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, and Intellectual Property Insurance

http://app.quotemedia.com/quotetools/newsStoryPopup.go?story…

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 12/18/12 -- Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce, that construction activities at its first high-purity alumina (HPA) plant, located in Cap-Chat, Quebec, Canada, have mostly been completed and that all the critical equipment is in place. Plant pre-operational verification and the commissioning of many sections of the plant are progressing according to plan.

"Initiation of the commissioning is an important milestone for the high-purity alumina (HPA) plant. As a result, we expect to achieve initial production in the near term and commercial production, as planned, for the start of Q2 2013. Once in commercial operation, the HPA plant should effectively demonstrate the processes of the smelter-grade alumina (SGA) plant, which is currently in the Feasibility Study stage", stated Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite.

Orbite's engineering team is following a detailed 720-step plan to complete pre-operational verification and commissioning. The initial production capacity is expected to gradually increase from less than 1 tonne per day of 4N to 6N HPA at the beginning of Q1 2013 to 3 tonnes per day by mid-2013 and to 5 tonnes per day by the end of 2013. Part of the equipment in the plant has already been provisioned to a production capacity of 5 tonnes per day. This ramp-up schedule could potentially be accelerated if initial customer demand exceeds expectations.

High-purity alumina is used primarily to manufacture industrial sapphires, which can be used as substrates in LED lights, LED screens and integrated circuits. HPA is also used in automotive sensors and other applications. Orbite intends to focus principally on the market for 5N and 6N HPA, which is of higher value than the 4N market.

Orbite also anticipates the production of gallium and scandium oxides once a recovery circuit is completed in mid-2013.

Intellectual Property Insurance

Orbite is pleased to announce that it has obtained from Munich Re insurance coverage for its intellectual property, including its portfolio of patents, trade secrets and trademarks. In particular, this will protect against claims of infringement by third parties and reimburse litigation costs for actions initiated by Orbite against third parties infringing on its intellectual property. This coverage will allow Orbite to respond to any allegations of infringement and defend its intellectual property rights without creating a financial burden on the Company. Orbite currently has 14 families of intellectual property covering various aspects of its technology and has already received patent protection for the first IP family in Canada, the USA and Australia.

"This insurance will provide Orbite with additional strength against would-be infringers of our intellectual property around the globe thus resulting in increased shareholder value", stated Richard Boudreault.

http://rusal.ru/en/clients/bidding.aspx
During 2012 RUSAL further increased it’s market reach for high value added products. Supported by our existing and new customers, we had significant success in promoting our products, developing new materials and expanding sales in a number of areas.

In August of this year we successfully adopted a new sales mechanism – a parcel of 3000 mt of primary aluminium ingots was offered through an on-line tender. The level of participation confirmed the interest in this sales mechanism and the result of the tender fully met our expectations.

We have now decided to launch our second tender - this time for a quantity of Super High Purity aluminium of grade 99.98% aluminium. The applications for this grade of aluminium are extensive and the potential customer base is diverse and specialised. Hence our intention is to widen our access to new markets and clients through the tendering process and to engage consumers of this grade of aluminium that may not have an existing relationship with RUSAL.

Also wenn ich es richtig verstehe/interpretiere startete Rusal eine - man könnte sagen - Online-Versteigerung von HPA um neue "Kundenschichten" anzusprechen bzw. dafür zu gewinnen.
Werde das weiter beobachten... stellt sich noch dfie Frage, woher das HPA stammt...

Orbite Aluminae Inc. Named as National Winner of the 2012 Regional Awards for New Technology

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 4, 2013) - Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP), recognize Orbite Aluminae Inc., based in Montréal, Québec, as national winner of the 2012 Regional Awards for New Technology.

Orbite Aluminae Inc. is a Canadian cleantech company whose innovative technologies are setting the new standard for alumina production. Orbite technologies enable environmentally-neutral extraction of smelter-grade alumina (SGA), high-purity alumina (HPA) and high-value elements, including rare earths and rare metals, from a variety of sources such as aluminous clay and bauxite, without generating toxic red mud residue.

Orbite's operations have a negligible environmental impact compared to the conventional process of extracting alumina from bauxite. The Orbite process of producing metallurgical-grade alumina involves crushing and then acid leaching the aluminous claystone found at the company's Grande-Vallée property. Orbite's unique technology consumes less energy and generates less pollution then and no caustic by-products.

The company owns 14 different families of intellectual property rights filed across the world for the extraction of alumina at the highest standards of sustainability (www.orbitealuminae.com).

"Orbite Aluminea's award underlines the role of innovation and technologies in the sustainable development of our economy, a major issue for our members. This award recognizes the leadership of Orbite Aluminea and shows that environmental concerns and competitiveness can go hand in hand," said Simon Prévost, president of CME Québec. Orbite Aluminae Inc. was also named the regional winner for this awards category.

The NRC IRAP Regional Award for New Technology recognizes innovative excellence in the development, adoption, and application of new technology in process or products. These awards provide SMEs with an opportunity to demonstrate their unique and innovative excellence in the development and application of new technologies.

Matt Gowing, Mackie Research Capital (1/7/13) "While Orbite Aluminae Inc. is expected to commence commercial production shortly from its Cap Chat plant, this first revenue stream will be comprised of sales of ultra-pure alumina, which is a much higher value, much 'nichier' market than that of smelter grade alumina (SGA), also known as metallurgical alumina. By 2015, however, we expect the company to also commence commercial SGA production, and as such Orbite will accomplish important SGA development milestones for this business initiative in 2013. . .on review of the dynamics shaping up in the aluminum and alumina markets, several factors are indicative of improvements. . .the investment proposition for Orbite should become even more attractive in 2013."

Orbite Named as National Winner of the 2012 Regional Awards for New Technology

Montreal, Quebec. January 9, 2013 – Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT - OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite") is pleased to announce that the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) have recognized Orbite as the National Winner of the 2012 Awards in New Technology for the innovation of alumina production without red mud waste. Orbite was previously selected as the regional winner for the Province of Quebec. The NRC-IRAP Award for New Technology recognizes national innovative excellence in the development, adoption, and application of new technology in process or products.

Orbite’s innovative and proprietary process can successfully produce alumina from clay and other feedstocks including red mud, the waste by-product of alumina production from bauxite using the industry-standard Bayer process. An estimated 3 billion tonnes of red mud exists worldwide in stockpiles with an additional 100 million tonnes produced annually. Orbite will license its technology internationally with the intent of changing the alumina industry and eliminating red mud waste.

Orbite obtains a new patent in the United States

Orbite is also pleased to announce it recently received on December 25, 2012 a new patent in the United States. The new patent, U.S. Patent 8,337,789, together with U.S. Patent 8,241,594, which was received on August 14, 2012, relates to the production of alumina from various feedstocks such as aluminous clay and more specifically with the processes related to the production of high-purity alumina (HPA). Orbite is currently in the process of commissioning its first HPA plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec.

In addition, the Company has received a legal opinion demonstrating Orbite has the freedom to operate in Canada in relation to its HPA process without infringing on patents owned by third parties.

"The granting of this patent is very good news and it comes at a very opportune time as we will soon begin commercial production of high-purity alumina. Therefore, it is reassuring and encouraging to know that we are very well protected in the U.S. which is one of the most important markets," said Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite.

Orbite has also completed the filing of another provisional patent application in the United States on November 14, 2012 with U.S. application 61/726,079, which relates to various improvements and processes for the production of high-purity alumina (HPA). This patent application therefore adds a fourteenth family to Orbite's patent portfolio, which now has seven patents issued and 33 pending applications in nine different countries.

Orbite Produces First Tonne of High Purity Alumina at Plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec

http://www.orbitealuminae.com/en/news/press-releases/orbite-…

[rolleg]

The Metals Report Interview with Alex Knox (1/22/13) "A number of REE companies that are moving toward production are discussing ways of significantly reducing their extraction costs because they're in discussion with Orbite Aluminae Inc. Orbite Aluminae has developed a process by which a rock can be put into solution and its component elements extracted in a fashion that does not consume any acid. It instead consumes energy in order to make these transformations. This is a huge cost advantage. A couple of companies that I know of are seriously involved in discussions with Orbite to use this technology. These companies have signed nondisclosure agreements with Orbite and are of the feeling that the Orbite process used in whole or in part will be able to significantly reduce their capital costs and, hence, give them a strong competitive advantage over other companies.

"Also, Orbite claims that it has been able to extract very small quantities of extremely valuable elements like gallium and scandium from its ores that it is principally producing for aluminum, as well as the complete spectrum of REEs. All REE deposits tend to be a bit of a little treasure trove, and sometimes carry significant quantities of other valuable elements in either small, moderate or even large proportions, such as niobium, tantalum, zirconium, hafnium and beryllium. If the Orbite process is useful in extracting these other elements, you could imagine that the increased revenue would decrease the operating cost per pound of extracting the REEs and would be another significant economic advantage. At least in the preliminary stages, the Orbite process looks like it's going to be able to do this. It looks like the Orbite process may be a significant contributor to revenue."

[rolleg]

Aus SI:

This is from stockhouse.com .. Posted by c4063sv .. There is no link provided so take it FWIW..

Event:

- Yesterday, Orbite Aluminae (SPEC BUY, $9.00 target price) hosted a site tour that was well attended by research analysts and other attendees from Mackie Research, Euro Pacific, Roth, National Bank, Northern Securities, Octagon, Kantor, and Goldman Sachs.

- The event was a technically focused one and served to provide comfort that the HPA plant commissioning and SGA design is rapidly progressing, and that considerable de-risking of the technology and process has occurred.

Key Details:

- The HPA construction is fully financed with the current budget sitting at $45mm net of tax credits, and $75mm gross.

- Incremental to this, in 2013 ORT plans on spending approx $50mm to complete the SGA detailed engineering, and BFS by end of 2013 (revised from q2/2013 due to more focus in recent months having been put towards HPA commercialization).

- The HPA acid regen system will be SMS Siemag constructed, but ORT will take a lead role on the design of this system. ORT is confident in integration of the HCl regen integration as design of this is already done and off the shelf equipment will be used.

- This was a component of the decision that was made in December when it was decided the HPA commercial process would be changed to virtually mirror the SGA process

- Partly as a result of the decision to match the HPA process with the SGA process, total capex of the HPA plant has been increased to $45mm net of tax credits up from $30mm previously. This implies that the gross amount of capex budget has been increased to $75mm, up from $50mm.

- Some upgrades and oversizing of key plant components have also resulted in the capex increases. For example, both the leaching reactor vessel and the silica filtration press have been sized to ten tonnes per day, well beyond the 5tpd plant capacity that remains the target by end of 2013.

- An Outotec oven will be ordered and received very shortly to replace the smaller and less efficient Harper ovens. This is understood to be the main component of the $15mm net capex increase. This HCl recovery system will allow greater efficiency and should help drive the opex down to $10k/tonne by year end, from a current level of approximately $20k to $30k/tonne. These opex levels are consistent with the guidance that the Company has been indicating for some time.

- Once installed, the Outotec oven will be a critical aspect of increasing the plant's production rate to the targeted 5 tonne per day rate by end of this year. Currently, the plant's production rate is slightly less than 1 tonne per day, but the aforementioned commissioning activities should result in a scale up to 3 tonnes per day by mid year and the 5 tonne per day rate by end of year.

- Important to note that the decision to have virtually identical flow sheets at both the HPA and SGA plants allows the HPA plant to act as a complete pilot plant for the SGA, and thus considerably de-risk the larger plant.

- In roughly two weeks, Orbite will make a significant leap in transitioning the plant to continuous as opposed to batch operation. Specifically, the crushing, grinding, and HCl leaching circuits will be tied in to the flow-sheet, and thus the Company will discontinue the processing of its hydroxide stock pile from which it has been producing during the commissioning process.

- Orbite's chief engineer was adamant of reaching this opex improvement, and even exceeding it over time as the plant is scaled higher.

- We observed white aluminum oxide coming off the end of the line, and this is the product that has been lab. verified (independently) at a 4N purity level.

- Efforts are currently underway to install the ion exchange system (for removal of organics and other impurities such as trace iron content).

- This along with closed piping to link the processing circuits together will increase purity further as air exposure of the solution will be virtually eliminated.

- It is believed that a purity of 5N would be achieved through these measures without even tying in the clean room, which will be a further initiative to reach a purity level of 6N sometime this year.

Conclusion:

- The visit to the plant provided comfort that the Company has a good handle on the optimization of the $40mm+ in equipment that has been purchased over the past several months.

- The decision to integrate an SGA design at the HPA plant is a prudent one and will help to achieve even further de-risking of the technology and design that has already occurred.

- While there may have been some escalation in capex, this is not uncommon for mining and tech. companies that are commercializing disruptive technology.

- Coming out of the site tour, we are confident that targeted volume and cost projections are attainable.

- Significant progress has been made in transitioning to continuous as opposed to batch operation, and visibility to further progress is clear.

- With independent lab verification having shown that the 4N purity has been achieved, with clear upcoming initiatives to increase purities further, this aspect of the business plan has also been considerably de-risked.

- There is a clear path to increase purities further (ie. “closing the loop”, ion exchange system, and clean room integration), which will help show that the Company will be able to generate higher value sales and thus increased gross margins.

- Important refinements have also been able to be made to the SGA plant design through the HPA commissioning process. For example multiple equipment venders are currently submitting bids for an improved silica filtration press.

- Having seen white powder coming off the end of the production line, we received comfort that significant progress has been made in the construction and full commercialization is close at hand.

Possible upcoming catalyst announcements:

- A 5n purity announcement may be made in the next few weeks. Updated product has been shipped to the verification lab just days ago and it is believed purity will be increased from the current levels of 4.3N.

- In tying in the ball mill and leaching circuit in addition to the HCl Outotec oven, Orbite will be moving towards a continuous operation, in effect closing the loop, and increasing efficiency.

- HPA off-take/off-takes.

- Potential licensing announcements as Orbite has been actively processing third party ore samples from potential partners who have supplied ore samples such as bauxite and other aluminous ores, red mud, rare earths, fly ash, etc.

- BFS is targeted for completion by end of 2013.

Orbite Aluminae Inc. and Veolia Environmental Services Create Partnership to Recycle and Remediate Red Mud Generated by Alumina

Orbite Aluminae Inc. ("Orbite") and Veolia Environmental Services ("Veolia") (Paris:VIE) signed an exclusive worldwide collaborative agreement for the treatment and recycling of red mud generated by industrial alumina production using the Bayer process. The terms of the partnership include the construction of the first plant to treat red mud using Orbite's patented process.

Red mud is a caustic waste that is difficult to treat because existing purification processes are complicated, costly, and ineffective. Red mud often remains stored in situ, which increases the risk of accidental spills. To meet this environmental and complex challenge facing the aluminum industry, Orbite and Veolia Environmental Services endeavour to bring the solution to treat the red mud stockpiled around the world in an economically and socially sustainable manner. The Orbite process is the only proven and commercially viable eco-friendly technology for treating Bayer process tailings; it recovers their entire commercial value and can extend the lifespan of Bayer plants.

Orbite is a Canadian company whose unique green technologies are setting new standards for the aluminum industry. These technologies allow for the extraction of smelter-grade alumina and high-purity alumina, as well as other products such as rare earths and rare metals, from various feedstocks including aluminous clay and bauxite, all without producing red mud.

Veolia Environmental Services is the only worldwide integrated operator covering the entire value chain of waste management (collection, sanitation, treatment and recovery).

"Demand for alumina continues to grow on a global scale," commented Mr. Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite, "and worldwide stocks of untreated red mud are estimated at nearly three billion tonnes. By partnering together, Orbite and Veolia become the global leader in the treatment and recycling of red mud, which is one of the main environmental challenges for the aluminum industry."

"Our unmatched presence in the waste value chain serves a long-term vision that drives us to build sustainable partnerships such as the one drawn up with Orbite. They are the key to best mining practice and guaranteeing supply that Veolia Environmental Services can bring to meet rising industry demand which is a major environmental challenge" said Pascal Decary, Senior Executive Vice-President of Veolia Environmental Services.

Mackie Report posted by Dr Sig. Orbite at Stockhouse:

This morning, Orbite and Veolia Environmental Services signed an exclusive

worldwide collaborative agreement for the treatment and recycling of red mud

generated by industrial alumina production using the Bayer process.

IMPACT– Getting Closer to the Technology ‘Holy Grail’: Royalties

More background on the collaborative agreement: Under the agreement, a

demonstration plant will be built and operated by Veolia. Site selection and capacity

for the demonstration plant will be determined by the end of summer, and the

construction timeline will be determined thereafter. Final terms of the agreement are

yet to be determined, but the intention is that Orbite would secure royalties on the

red mud remediation plants. Typical to most licensing arrangements, Orbite may

also receive an equity interest in a JV that would own the remediation plant, and

may also receive an up-front cash payment as each plant JV is setup. It remains to be

determined what the economic arrangement relating to Orbite’s involvement with

the demonstration plant, but we believe the Company will accrue revenue as the

demonstration plant is built and/or operated.

Veolia’s strategic rationale: The strategic rationale for Veolia is clear. As a

consolidated entity, it generates over 30 billion euros per year in revenue, employs

330,000 people globally, and is considered a leader worldwide in waste

management. Veolia’s website indicates that increasing its activities in industrial

waste management is a top priority, and in particular the recovery and recycling of

material resources from waste stockpiles.

What it means for Orbite: The Veolia agreement is clearly a huge mark of validation

for Orbite. On the subsequent pages of this note, we have calculated possible

economic outcomes for Orbite under potential licensing arrangements. At the low

end, single licenses could be worth as low as $0.16/sh per plant. However, a

successful red mud royalty portfolio could have an NPV of $28/sh or much more in

an aggressive rollout by Veolia (see page 6). At the current time, we do not include

any contribution from red mud remediation in our $9 NAV based target price.

ACTION – Maintain Spec. Buy Rating and $9.00 Target

Today’s agreement with Veolia strengthens the investment thesis on Orbite.



BACKGROUND ON RED MUD, THE AGREEMENT, AND VEOLIA:

A serious industry problem: Red mud is a toxic by-product of alumina production using the

traditional Bayer process. For each tonne of alumina produced, two tonnes of red mud are

produced. It is estimated that over 100mm tons of red mud are produced annually. The generation

of this toxic by-product can result in difficulties in permitting alumina production facilities. The

dangerous toxicity of red mud tailings ponds is the key environmental challenge facing companies

using the Bayer process to produce alumina. It is estimated that there are 100 million tonnes of red

mud produced per year, and the aggregate amount of red mud tailings amounts to 3 billion

tonnes worldwide. Leakages and outward floods from these ponds have caused extensive

environmental damage and even human deaths in various occurrences in recent years. In many

cases, the harmful footprint associated with red mud has made it increasingly difficult to get new

the Bayer-type alumina production facilities permitted.

Orbite holds the technological solution,

Veolia will use its resources to roll it out: The Orbite process is the only proven and commercially viable

eco-friendly technology that we know of for treating Bayer process tailings.

The collaboration agreement with Veolia, the world leader in waste

management, is a very strong endorsement of Orbite’s processing technology. To quote Veolia:

“They (ORT) are the key to best mining practice and guaranteeing supply.” As large as Veolia is,

and as a recognized leader in industrial waste management, it is an ideal partner for Orbite to help

drive penetration of its technology. Veolia will be the operator of the red mud joint venture (JV)

plants, and will also structure the financing for each one. Additional partners may be invited to

join each JV. In addition to site selection by end of summer, operating capacity and detailed

engineering for the demonstration plant will be completed by year end.

Conclusions from Orbite’s ICSOBA paper shows that the technology has been successfully

tested: At a recent ICSOBA aluminum industry conference, Orbite presented a paper highlighting

the merits of deploying its technology to remediate red mud tailings ponds. The paper highlights

that Orbite's process has been successfully tested on a variety of different red mud samples,

having different chemical compositions. Orbite’s technology was demonstrated to be very

effective and have processing yields approaching 100% on virtually all the constituent materials

within the red mud solution.

Key operating parameters and financial modeling assumptions based on results in the ICSOBA

paper: The economic calculations we outline below are based on technical results and the average

outcomes of the red mud remediation tests. This includes the types and amounts of materials (ie.

Alumina, hematite, caustic soda, etc.) that are expected to be recovered from a 1mm tonne per

year standard remediation plant. For price assumptions in our modeling below, we have used the

same prices used in Orbite’s PEA, with the exception of metallurgical alumina (SGA), where we

have used a price of $350/tonne.



ORBITE INVESTMENT THESIS:



Orbite remains a favourite name in our coverage universe, and we are becoming increasingly of

the view that 2013 will be a break-out year for its share price. As such, we review the key tenets of

our investment thesis:



- A demonstrated concept: The company has demonstrated pilot plant production of both

smelter grade alumina (SGA) and high purity alumina (HPA). A $45 million+ construction to

refurbish the pilot plant to a commercial producer is nearing completion, and first HPA

revenue is expected in Q2/13.



- A highly efficient, low cost HCl extraction technology: Orbite has demonstrated a viable

technology to extract alumina and other by-products from low grading aluminous ores such

as claystone and bauxite. Advantages of Orbite's hydro-chloric acid (HCl) process over others,

such as the Bayer Process, include lower capital and operating costs.



- By-product recovery and a cleaner approach - other advantages: Another very important

advantage is the ability to produce high purity by-products through the implementation of an

acid-recovery system. Also, because Orbite's process is closed loop it eliminates harmful

tailing products that the alumina industry is known to produce (ie. red mud). In fact, Orbite

has identified a business opportunity to remediate this red mud tailing product through

deployment of its technology.



- A 43-101 compliant PEA has been completed that validates economics: A PEA has been

completed showing a 33% IRR over a 25 year duration for a 540,000 tonne per year SGA

producing facility that achieves a production cost of $209 per tonne. This operating cost places

Orbite’s approach in the top quartile of SGA producing plants worldwide.



- 1 billion tonne alumina resource: This billion tonne resource is more than sufficient to allow

Orbite to build several SGA and HPA production facilities, and fuel their operation for over 50

years. We note that there is approximately 400,000 hectares of similar land surround Grand

Vallee resource.



- Non-disclosure agreements signed with over 10 potential strategic partners: Discussions are

underway with potential partners such as RUSAL (world’s largest aluminum co.) and

NALCO (India’s largest producer). The announcement with one of the world’s largest waste

management company, Veolia Environmental, not only provides further validation of Orbite’s

technology but also lays the foundation of a business plan to derive significant cash flows

utilizing ORT’s technology.

Auch im Canadian Mining Journal ist ein Artikel erschienen:

http://www.canadianminingjournal.com/news/comment-world-beat…

Hier einige Auszüge:

Orbite founder, president and CEO Richard Boudreault spoke with CMJ earlier today. "We are in a good position," he said. "Veolia has the deep pockets and relationships with governments and ministries to take HPA global. Veolia does over 10 billion euros of business every year treating hazardous materials and often recovering valuable by-products."

"Treating the world's red mud problem will need hundreds of Orbite plants, each costing between $100 million and $500 million to build," said Boudreault, "but they will pay for themselves in one to three years."

For now Boudreault sees the market for Orbite's HPA technology in environmental remediation. The company has already built a production scale HPA plant in Cap Chat, QC. With at 3 million tonnes and more of red mud lying in various stockpiles around the world, the need for clean-up is pressing. But eventually, HPA technology could replace the Bayer process for primary production and the red mud problem would not occur.

Either way Orbite's technology and Veolia's global presence will make HPA production from red mud the global standard for decades to come.

Einige Analystenkommentare zusammengestellt von Southern X auf Silicon Investor:

A succinct overview of where ORT is, c/o SH's basher-buster:



The information provided below is from analysts, newsletters and other contributors. Please contact the company and visit its website before making an investment decision.

Expert Analysis Philip Shen, ROTH Capital Partners (2/4/13) "Earlier this morning, Orbite Aluminae Inc. announced that it signed an exclusive agreement with Veolia Environmental Services to use red mud as a feedstock and produce alumina. Veolia, in our view, is a first-class partner, and we believe its integrated global footprint could drive meaningful demand for Orbite's technology worldwide; we reiterate our Buy rating."

Matt Gowing, Mackie Research Capital (2/4/13) "Orbite Aluminae Inc.'s high-purity alumina (HPA) plant will provide strong cash-flow generation once orders are attained. . .the recent milestone of first production of HPA from the plant, along with derisking of the overall technology, as seen from the insights gained at last week's site tour, strengthen the Orbite investment thesis."

Morning Coffee (1/23/13) "Investors cheered after Orbite Aluminae Inc. announced that it successfully produced its first tonne of high-purity alumina (HPA) during the last week of December 2012 and early January 2013 as part of the initial commissioning and testing activities at the company's commercial-scale HPA production plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec. . . .the company further highlighted that additional commissioning activities, and optimization of the purity towards 5N and greater, are expected to take up to two months to complete and are proceeding according to schedule."

The Metals Report Interview with Alex Knox (1/22/13) "A number of REE companies that are moving toward production are discussing ways of significantly reducing their extraction costs because they're in discussion with Orbite Aluminae Inc. Orbite Aluminae has developed a process by which a rock can be put into solution and its component elements extracted in a fashion that does not consume any acid. It instead consumes energy in order to make these transformations. This is a huge cost advantage. A couple of companies that I know of are seriously involved in discussions with Orbite to use this technology. These companies have signed nondisclosure agreements with Orbite and are of the feeling that the Orbite process used in whole or in part will be able to significantly reduce their capital costs and, hence, give them a strong competitive advantage over other companies.

"Also, Orbite claims that it has been able to extract very small quantities of extremely valuable elements like gallium and scandium from its ores that it is principally producing for aluminum, as well as the complete spectrum of REEs. All REE deposits tend to be a bit of a little treasure trove, and sometimes carry significant quantities of other valuable elements in either small, moderate or even large proportions, such as niobium, tantalum, zirconium, hafnium and beryllium. If the Orbite process is useful in extracting these other elements, you could imagine that the increased revenue would decrease the operating cost per pound of extracting the REEs and would be another significant economic advantage. At least in the preliminary stages, the Orbite process looks like it's going to be able to do this. It looks like the Orbite process may be a significant contributor to revenue." More >

Matt Gowing, Mackie Research Capital (1/22/13) "Orbite Aluminae Inc. has announced a plant commissioning update, indicating that it has successfully produced its first tonne of high purity alumina (HPA) during the last week of December and early January. Samples have been independently tested by EAG, confirming that an initial purity 'of greater than 4N [99.99%] was achieved' . . .we view the news as a positive event as it confirms that the company should be able to start up commercial operations at the start of Q2/13 (in-line with our forecast) and be in a position to deliver customer-grade products (4N product at the very least)."

Orbite plots red mud revolution with Veolia as partner

Perhaps a small Canadian junior and an European environmental remediation giant will prove red mud isn’t such a waste after all.

Earlier this week Orbite Aluminae (the junior) and Veolia Environmental Services (the giant) announced a joint venture agreement whereby the two will partner in the red mud remediation business.

The agreement gives Veolia exclusive rights to Orbite’s know-how; its patents showing how to reprocess red mud - waste created in making aluminum - and in doing so extract metals and minerals including unrecovered aluminum and rare earths (Mineweb story here).

The process is closely related to technology Orbite has developed for a high purity alumina plant it is now commissioning in southeastern Quebec, where it will process an unconventional source of alumina and rare earths in an aluminous clay deposit (story here).

The initial plan is for Veolia to build a remediation plant - somewhere.

That was about the extent of details in joint press releases by the pair on Monday, but Richard Boudreault, Orbite president and CEO, was a bit more forthcoming in an interview on Tuesday.

Location, location, location

An exact location may not have been on offer for the first plant now in the works, but in speaking with Mineweb Boudreault whittled down the possible locations given the approach Veolia and Orbite are taking in marketing the red mud processing business.

First, Boudreault explained, the Veolia-Orbite plan is to target jurisdictions with tough regulations and intense social pressure to rid land of red mud.

Two countries that cropped up repeatedly in the interview were Germany and France, where there are stringent regulations on industry.

Indeed, Boudreault pointed out that in countries like Germany and France, aluminum processors looking to expand or re-permit operations may find it “easier to treat red mud than get additional permits.”

Boudreault also noted that maintaining a red mud pond can be costly in terms of insurance premiums, especially in highly populated areas in well regulated jurisdictions. Thus there can be a “lot of pressure from insurance companies” to lessen impacts from red mud, Boudreault said.

Population density itself is a consideration. Boudreault said Orbite and Veolia would target areas for remediation in areas with high population density where land values are higher and thus the pressure to remediate red mud ponds will be highest.

“Germany, France would be in that league,” he said.

Boudreault added that China, Australia and “even India” might also apply here.

Of course the first plant is going to be near a red mud pond, as the waste -bulky - is not the kind of material you would ship from far flung locations around the world to remediate at a centralized plant.

Expansion

If Boudreault’s hopes are realized, then further remediation plants would then be built at numerous other red mud sites around the world, each at cost somewhere between $50 million to $200 million, he said.

Payback on these plants would be within a few years from proceeds of the sale of various products within the red mud including alumina and rare earths, he said.

A second prong to the joint venture, beyond remediation and the plan to build an initial plant, is to convince aluminum producers of the merits of adding a red mud processing circuit to existing operations.

The advantages might be twofold: lessen red mud output and at the same time capture additional metal and minerals.

Timing and terms

Boudreault put the timeline for the plant this way: by summer he said a decision would be made on location; by Christmas there would be a feasibility study; and then in early 2014 construction would start.

“Yes it’s a quick timeline,” he agreed.

As for Orbite’s potential profit from the deal with Veolia - which were not outlined in a press release on Monday - Boudreault said “It’s going to be on a royalty basis.”

He added that fairly standard royalties in this sort of business were in the five to 10 percent range and that Orbite’s take was “very significant.

Global aluminium demand to rise 6% this year – Rusal

Russia's United Company RUSAL Plc, the world's top aluminium producer, said on Friday it expects 2013 global aluminium demand will rise 6 percent, fuelled by investment in large-scale infrastructure projects in China.

RUSAL's positive tone comes after a tough year for aluminium produers due to the global economic slowdown, although it cautioned the European debt crisis would continue to weigh on aluminium prices in the short term.

Hong Kong-listed RUSAL, controlled by Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, said it was also optimistic thanks to growing demand in India and North America for the metal, used in products such as drink cans, aircraft and iPads.

"Although the pace of global recovery remains open to debate, there were clear signs towards the end of 2012 that key markets in China, other Asian countries and North America have begun to increase their aluminium consumption," RUSAL said in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange.

"These markets will remain at the forefront of aluminium demand during the year ahead, driven by the automotive sector and continued investment in large-scale infrastructure projects."

Global primary aluminium consumption was expected to reach 50 million tonnes this year, the company said.

RUSAL expected China to remain the largest growing market in 2013, with growth of 9.5 percent, followed by India at 6 percent and North America at 5 percent.

The Russian company's aluminium output rose 1 percent in 2012 to 4.17 million tonnes, while alumina production fell 8 percent to 7.48 million tonnes, it said.

About 1-1.5 million tonnes of global aluminium production was expected to be idled in 2013, it added.

For full statement clicks http://www.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2013/0208/LT…

RUSAL, which accounted for 9 percent of global aluminium and alumina production in 2011, markets and sells products primarily in Europe, Japan, South Korea, China, Southeast Asia and North American markets. (Reporting by Donny Kwok; Editing by Anne Marie Roantree and Richard Pullin

Orbite Begins Shipping Commercial Samples of High-Purity Alumina

Montreal, Quebec. March 28, 2013 – Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT / OTCQX: EORBF) (“Orbite” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the first commercial samples of high-purity alumina (HPA) produced at its HPA plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, and having a minimum purity of 4N (99.99%), began shipping this week to several customers in Europe, Asia and North America. Orbite has already received over 25 confirmed orders for HPA samples ranging from 4N to 5N purity from clients throughout the world.

“This is a very important milestone for Orbite as it signals our official entry into the global high-purity alumina market, ” said Richard Boudreault, President and CEO of Orbite Aluminae.

Customer HPA samples of 4N purity or greater are expected to continue to ship during the first half of 2013 as material of the appropriate purity and characteristics become available to satisfy customer orders. Sample sizes typically range from 1 to 100 kg. Customers are expected to test their respective HPA samples, a process which can take several months and could entail ordering additional samples, prior to submitting purchase orders for commercial supply. Any payments received prior to the declaration of commercial production, for customer samples or commercial sales, will be booked for accounting purposes as a reduction of capital costs.

The global market for HPA has typically been for a 4N product but is shifting towards higher purities of 4N5 and 5N over the next few years. This shift is driven in part by the phasing out of incandescent lights over the next few years throughout most major world markets, which is increasing the demand for LED lights containing substrates manufactured with HPA.

Junior miner Orbite sheds fifth of market cap after analysts lower price targets
http://business.financialpost.com/2013/04/02/junior-miner-or…

Montreal – Quebec mining junior Orbite Aliminae Inc. lost one fifth of its market capitalization after two analysts lowered their price targets on the stock.

Trading in Orbite shares was suspended Tuesday morning after the stock fell 22% from its previous close, to $1.07 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada said it was contacting the company to obtain more information on what could be causing the drop.

Richard Boudreault, a Cornell University physicist, leads Orbite and has drawn investor backing for what he says is game-changing technology to extract alumina from clay. The company plans to split its output, making smelter-grade alumina for use in aluminum and also supplying a higher-premium, ultra-pure alumina used to manufacture specialized components like LED lighting.

Euro Pacific Canada analyst Luisa Moreno on Tuesday lowered her price target on Orbite to $4.60 from $8 after the company reported a $16.9-million loss for fiscal 2012. Her new price reflects the fact Orbite increased capital cost projections for this year and signalled that commercial production would be postponed to this year’s fourth quarter because of challenges in procuring and installing plant machinery.

“Delays with the delivery of major equipment are common in engineering projects,” Ms. Moreno said in a research note. “We believe that Orbite had an ambitious schedule to begin with and is likely now in a more measured pace for the development of its disruptive and clean process. We do not anticipate additional major delays given that all the key equipment has been delivered and management does not expect issues.”

Ms. Moreno rates Orbite a “speculative buy,” saying the current 52-week low is a good entry point in the stock for long-term investors.

Another analyst, Jon Hykawy of Byron Capital Markets, lowered his price target on Orbite to $0.75 from $0.90 and maintained his sell rating.

“The update from the company suggests that there may be continuing technical issues, a markedly slower production ramp and higher capital expenditures,” he wrote in an April 2 report. “[Orbite] may need to start fundraising efforts by no later than Q3 of this year, but with little prospect for significant progress with respect to announcing [high purity alumina] customers by that time. If the refundable tax credits from Quebec’s provincial government are not refunded in a timely way, there is a significant financial danger to the company.”

Orbite owns mineral rights to some 3,500 hectares of land in the Grande Vallée area of Quebec’s Gaspé region, where the clay is abundant. In January, the company said it successfully produced its first tonne of high-purity alumina at its Cap-Chat plant. It has begun shipping samples to prospective customers.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - April 3, 2013) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is increasing the Company's financial flexibility by having filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the "Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada. The Prospectus is not a commitment to undertake any financing but provides flexibility over the normal course of business to fund the Company's projects over the 25-month period that it remains effective.

"Orbite is still a development-stage company with multiple projects, each with different capital requirements over the next two years. Once filed, this shelf prospectus will increase the Company's financial flexibility to fund our projects in a timely and effective manner during the next 25-months," stated Richard Boudreault, Orbite's President and CEO. "We are continuously assessing financing options to advance Orbite's projects, including joint-venture partnerships, project debt financings, strategic investments and equity financings, all with the ultimate objective of maximizing shareholder value."

These filings, when made final, will allow the Company to make offerings of debt securities, common shares, warrants, subscription receipts or units comprising any combination of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "Securities"), up to an aggregate offering of $300,000,000 during a 25-month period that the final short form base shelf prospectus, including any amendments thereto, remains effective. Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an eventual accompanying shelf prospectus supplement and, subject to applicable regulations, may include public offerings of debt or equity, or strategic investments.

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities that may be offered under the Prospectus, and the applicable prospectus supplement, will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, for completion of its ongoing National Instrument 43-101 compliant feasibility study for its proposed smelter grade alumina ("SGA") production plant, for detailed engineering and construction costs of the proposed SGA production plant, for detailed engineering and construction costs for the proposed Veolia Red Mud plant, for advancement and optimization of the high purity alumina plant towards its full capacity, and for ongoing research and development initiatives.

The Metals Report Interview with Luisa Moreno (4/30/13) "Orbite Aluminae Inc. is developing an alumina project that it expects to have byproduct rare earths. In its first plant, the production of rare earths, gallium and scandium will be only a few tonnes. It will be a small source of rare earths. . .currently, Orbite is building a plant for high-purity alumina; that is the focus. The capacity is at about 5 tons per day. It could potentially work as a demonstration plant for the larger smelter-grade alumina plant. . .management is very confident in the project and indicated that it should reach commercial production by Q1/14. I think many agree that the technical viability of the project is there. It just has to ultimately prove that it's also economically viable. The process could be adapted to recover alumina and rare earths from red mud, and Orbite has an agreement with Veolia Environmental Services for that purpose. The production of rare earths from multiple red mud remediation plants could become important source of rare earths and other rare metals." More >

Pursuant to ongoing negotiations, the Corporation concluded an agreement on May 15, 2013 with its principal supplier, which once completed should result in the discharge of the related registered legal hypothecs. The agreement involves a provisional lump sum payment of $3.6 million to its principal supplier, whom in turn will settle outstanding claims from its sub-contractors, with the remainder of the provision related to the principal supplier being settled in either cash, common shares, or a combination thereof, at the Corporation's discretion, no later than July 30, 2013, subject to regulatory approvals and other contractual undertakings.

hört sich das nicht nach einer aussergerichtl. Einigung an ?
Ich denke bei Orbite sind jetzt mehrere ungünstige Sachen zus.gekommen, Prod.verzögerungen u. Streitigkeiten mit der Errichtungsfirma.
Und wie es aussieht noch Kapitalbedarf.

Das wiederum klingt nach einer offenen Breitseite, die Orbite gefährlich werden kann, man hat noch keinen konkreten Plan zur Schließung der Finanzlücke. Wieviel $ fehlen konnte ich nicht herauslesen...

Although no timetable has been established, management is actively seeking to raise the necessary capital to meet its funding requirements through the issuance of debt and/or equity instruments, government assistance, joint-venture partnerships and to a lesser extent, through revenues generated at the HPA plant. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful. If the Corporation is unable to secure sufficient sources of funding, it could result in the delay, or indefinite postponement, of the one or more of the Corporation's projects.

[wohinistmeinGeld]

eine Mk von über 120 Mio. 10 Mio wären noch zu viel. also wo wird der Kurs wohl hin gehen?

[muenchenguru]

Orbite wird ja arg gebeutelt im Moment.
Die Märkte, die Orbite im Auge hat, sind hochinteressant.
Problem ist, dass ORT riskiert sich zu verzetteln .
Und folgendes
non-commercial operations of the High Purity Alumina (HPA) plant
soweit ich mich erinnern kann , soll der Cash-Flow seit Q1-2013 fließen über den Start v. 1 t HPA p.m.
Das scheint wohl für 1 Jahr nach hinten verschoben zu sein, mindestens u. dadurch eine Finanz.lücke zu entstehen.

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Alessandro Bruno

ORBITEOn May 16, Orbite Aluminae (‘Orbite’, TSX: ORT | OTCQX: EORBF) presented its quarterly results. Some of the highlights that were mentioned included the start of non-commercial operations of the High Purity Alumina (HPA) plant and the delivery of first commercial HPA samples with a purity of 99.99%, the exclusive worldwide agreement with Veolia, the issuance of patents in China and Russia. Orbite also announced that Mr. Glenn R. Kelly will join Orbite as the new Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer (COO), starting on May 21, 2013. Interestingly, all management will report to Mr. Kelly. As with all new technologies, especially those that start to come on line in a difficult market, companies such as Orbite can generate rather passionate debates.

Analysts remain divided with those such as Luisa Moreno from Jacobs Securities who present the bullish case based on Orbite’s large growth potential, interest from large firms such as Veolia and patent backed technology, making the Company an interesting takeover target. The bears, captained by Jon Hykawy at Byron Capital Markets are concerned by overly optimistic REE prices, the difficulty in obtaining low cost energy sources and underestimated costs. At the risk of being too optimistic, the safer bet, in the medium to long term, is on the bulls. REE prices cannot stay low for much longer as global market realities are changing and there is no disagreement that the demand for REE intense technology will only go up in the near and far future. As valid as costs estimate concerns may be, Orbite’s technology addresses an important environmental problem and proposes to offer a valid and much cleaner method of producing alumina.

Why the bulls have the stronger case: the value of Orbite’s technology

Orbite has developed a new process to recycle red mud. Orbite can therefore play an important role processing this very toxic effluent that is a by-product from the refining of aluminum ore. Orbite has formed a partnership with Veolia Environmental, a France based multinational (global presence and 300,000+ employees) specializing in waste management for the treatment and recycling of the ‘red mud’ and for the construction of a facility to treat red sludge treatment process by Orbite. The strategy is then for both companies to offer this service to the aluminum industry. The floods that hit Hungary in 2010 drew public attention to the ecological disaster that red mud creates. Red Mud is the result of the Bayer Process or the method used to refine bauxite to produce aluminum oxide that has been used since it was invented in 1887, the Bayer process for the production of aluminum and until now no process has been developed to replace it.

The red sludge, or red mud, that results from the process contains very difficult to treat and very toxic effluents. Current purification processes based on acid are complex and inefficient; the result is that the sludge is often stored, which only increases the risk of accidents and spillage. In 2011, about 100 million tons of red mud produced, only 5% were reused. Orbite has set itself a very useful goal and it has developed the technology to address a very real and difficult problem by extracting alumina from aluminous clays. Alumina is then used to manufacture aluminum. Orbite says the method also allows for the extraction of rare earths such as cerium, scandium and gallium and other related byproducts of value.

The commercial advantage comes from the fact that this technology can be sold to producers wishing to reduce their environmental impact – a factor that prevents many industrial projects from ever being completed – as well as operational costs. The technique developed by Orbit can not only recover about 30% of alumina which is still in the red mud, but also to extract the rare earths (such as scandium, gallium, and cerium) and residues of metals. For manufacturing companies, the Orbite process relieves management from having to deal with complex, risky and financially burdening toxic sludge. Moreover, as sustainability risks and concerns have become an ever more important risk factor in investment analysis, companies using the method will be able to promote a very good environmental image. As for the Orbite-Veolia partnership, their investment in treatment plants is amortized in the resale of the recovered alumina, metals and rare earths.

The environmental benefits alone, regardless of what values or purity, adequate or not, are a sufficient reason to pursue the technology. In a sense Orbite has proposed a new way of mining, which has become ever more scientific, combining efforts with other disciplines such as chemistry to maximize yields, grades, purities while reducing environmental impact. As for the costs so often cited by ‘grouchy bears’, the costs involved in brining a mining project to production have made it rather more desirable to develop multiple, rather than single, commodities, which is what Orbite proposes to do.

Marc Johnson or Orbite said in a very recent conversation that Orbite-Veolia are looking for the ideal location to build the first Red Mud remediation plant, which will then be replicated by Orbite in several countries where it has operations. There are several ideal locations, given the value of the service being offered. The plant could be set up in Europe to address the German market in particular and those of countries further east such as Hungary, Poland; however, very large markets can be found in the United States, Canada, Australia or China – several plants would be needed to meet demand in the latter. The first plant’s location should be determined by the end of 2013.

Orbite Provides Updated Capital Cost and Timeline Estimates for HPA Plant and Appoints New VP Operations

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - June 6, 2013) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Corporation") today reported updated capital cost and timeline estimates for completing its high-purity alumina (HPA) production plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec and announced the appointment of Mr. Denis Arguin as Vice President Operations.

Updated HPA Plant Capital Cost and Timeline Estimates

Orbite commissioned and recently received two independent capital cost and timeline estimates (the "Independent Estimates") for completing the HPA production plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, including the installation of the new calcination system. These were subsequently reviewed and analysed by Orbite management and engineers, and were also compared to a third estimate prepared by our general contractor. The Corporation is now in a position to report updated capital cost and timeline estimates to achieve the Phase II production capacity of 3 tonnes per day.

In its Management Discussion and Analysis for the period ended December 31, 2012 (the "December MD&A"), the Corporation estimated that capital costs for the HPA planttotalling $85 million before refundable investment tax credits ("RITC") (or $55 million net of RITC) would be required to complete the plant. As at March 31, 2013, the Corporation had incurred external capital costs of $74.9 million (or $51.2 million net of RITC). Based on the Independent Estimates, the Corporation is revising its capital cost estimate, before RITC, to $105.9 million(or $75.9 million net of RITC), which represents an increase of $20.9 million to the estimate provided in the December MD&A and includes $6.7 million in contingency and critical spare parts. As a result, the projected total external capital costs required to complete the construction and commissioning of the HPA production facility, in addition to those already incurred at March 31, 2013, are as follows:
(in 1,000)

- Engineering and Project Management $2,540
- Material and Equipment, including Calcination System $15,090
- Labour $6,660
- Contingencies $4,220
- Critical Spare Parts & Specialty Tools $2,500
Total $31,010

The updated capital cost estimate represents the investment required to achieve the Phase II production capacity of 3 tonnes per day. A large portion of the HPA plant has been designed at a 5 tonnes per day capacity, and as such, the requisite engineering analysis to increase the total plant throughput to 5 tonnes per day, as well as to add a scandium and gallium separation facility, is expected to be completed during the second half of 2013 and the incremental capital cost estimate is expected to be reported during the first quarter of 2014.

Based on the Independent Estimates, which included a review of construction labor time, the Corporation is also updating the anticipated project timelines for achieving the Phase II production capacity of 3 tonnes per day to the end of the second quarter of 2014, representing a delay of approximately 6 months from the previous estimates. This is based upon a 12-month project execution timeline commencing once the Corporation has raised the necessary capital to proceed.

"Given the highly detailed effort employed by both independent engineering firms in preparing the revised estimates and by Orbite management in vetting them, we are confident in meeting both the cost and timeline targets. In addition, a large part of my personal responsibilities will be to deliver this facility on time and within budget," said Glenn Kelly, EVP and Chief Operating Officer.

In the interim, the commissioned segments of the HPA plant are expected to continue to be operated intermittently at a Phase I production capacity averaging less than one tonne per day of HPA at a purity of 99.99% (4N) or better. Customer samples of HPA will continue to be shipped as material of the appropriate purity and characteristics is produced to satisfy existing and prospective orders. The Corporation is pleased to report that initial feedback has been positive and that it has successfully produced densified and spheronized product for additional shipments to a prospective client satisfied with initial product quality.

Construction costs on expenditures related to the construction and expansion of manufacturing and processing facilities in the Gaspé region of Québec, incurred in 2012 and in 2013 and not exceeding an aggregate of $75 million, are eligible for an RITC of 40%, while amounts exceeding $75 million are eligible for an RITC of 5%, subject to approval from the tax authorities. This upper limit of RITC is presently being re-evaluated by the Québec Government. The Corporation has pledged all of its 2012 and 2013 RITCs, to an aggregate of $25 million, as security for the $25 million of convertible debentures issued in December 2012

____________________________

Heftiger Niedergang heute.
Die Daten sind nicht erfreulich, neben den Kostensteigerung u. der Zeitverzögerung ist es vor allem der externe Kapitalbedarf der ein Problem darstellt.
Kapitalbedarf für Phase 2 steigt um 20 Mio, externe Finanzierungsbedarf nun bei 30 Mio.
Die Kosten f. 5t-Steigerung u. Scandium u. Gallium-Prod. sind noch nicht enthalten.

Positiv ist, dass wir jetzt mehrfache Studien für den Kap.bedarf haben , was Planungssicherheit gibt, ausserdem hört sich das so an , als wäre der Ernst der Lage klar:

Australian Minerals and Mining Group (AKA,asx)

South West High Purity Alumina Project, Western Australia

AMMG has recently announced that it has successfully produced 99.99% (4N) high purity alumina (HPA) using its own innovative aluminous clay (kaolin) to alumina processing technology. Click here to view the announcement. Using samples from all four of its South West HPA projects in Western Australia, the material presented appropriate clean sources of aluminous clay for HPA production.

The processing technology is a unique acid-based low energy intensive process. It produces minimal waste and the key reagents are recyclable, therefore, the efficiencies are high.

The Company has lodged three patent applications with the Australian patent office relating to its unique acid-based processing technology, which is in part favoured by the mineralogy of AMMG's aluminous clay material.

Mein Gott, welch armseliger Satz, aber was solls in jedem Thread hier bei WO gibt es einen Clown.

Mir ist aufgefallen, dass gerade Kleinanleger im Rohstoffbereich schnelle Gewinne erwarten und dabei nicht berücksichtigen wie lange es dauert bis aus einem Explorer ein erfolgreiches Rohstoffunternehmen geworden ist.
Es dauert mehrere Jahre in denen sich auch dann noch ständig die Rohstoffpreise ändern was sich wiederum auf den Aktienkurs von Rohstoffunternehmen auswirkt. Wenn die Weltwirtschaft jetzt einen Boom erleben würde wären die Kurse von fast allen Rohstoffunternehmen dreimal so hoch. Wer nicht die Nerven oder die Zeit hat ist hier fehl am Platz.

Einer der wichtigsten Rohstoffe der Zukunft ist Aluminium und ich denke Orbite wird seinen Weg gehen und wir werden auch wieder andere Kurse sehen.

Das wäre wahrscheinlich so, wobei du ja selbst schreibst Rohstoffunternehmen, und nicht Luftnummern. Nach ursprünglichen Plänen würden die längst produzieren und Geld verdienen. Bis jetzt haben sie aber nichts anderes getan als Geld von den Aktionären einsammeln und sonst verarschen.
Wer glaubt dass nach dieser 1. Verschiebung um 1 Jahr es dann glatt geht, mit dem kann man kein Mitleid haben wenn er sein Geld verliert. Die nächste Verschiebung und Ke wird kommen, eine Produktion? Träumt weiter.

Sagt dir der Name Wilson Greatbatch irgendwas?
Erfinder des Herzschrittmacher. Der hat seinen Namen für die Luftnummer Biophan hergegeben. Das war vor ca 9 Jahren mein erster und einziger Reinfall was Luftnummern und Briefkastenfirmen angeht. Biophan war eine Briefkastenfirma, die hatten nichts außer eine Menge Märchen, ähnlich wie Orbit, aber hatten hohe 3 stellige Millionen Beträge bei den Aktionären eingesammelt. Die Pusherbriefe hatten den Preis auf 3 EUR hochgetrieben, heute sind es noch 0,0007 $.
Es hat nie irgendwas gegeben was die verkauft haben. Die Bude gibt es nicht mehr.
Und sowas ist keine Seltenheit, vor allem bei Explorern treiben sich die Gauner rum. Da habe ich um die 40 beobachtet, und ich habe sicher nur einen kleinen Teil mitbekommen.

Und es hat sich gezeigt dass es richtig war. Geld ging aus, Produktion klappt nicht usw.

Wenn die eine Halle bauen hat das nicht viel zu sagen. Für 2 Mio eine Halle bauen um damit an der Börse ein paar 100 Mio zu holen, die Rechnung geht auf.
Die hatten mal eine MK von über 300 Mio, jetzt noch fast 100 Mio, wofür? Das ist immer noch das 10fache des wirklichen Werts, also ein 0 nach dem Komma wird noch kommen.

The Metals Report Interview with Jack Lifton (7/9/13) "When it comes to survivors, we can discuss a company like Orbite Aluminae Inc. Orbite's success isn't all about a new technology, it's about a streamlined technology. . .the company's plan is to establish a 1,200 tpa solvent extraction REE separation plant. It is designed to process the entire spectrum of REEs. Orbite's REE capex plans amount to $32M based on using byproduct feedstock from a large aluminum oxide plant to be brought into operation on the Gaspé Peninsula of Québec. A 1,200 tpa, total-spectrum REE plant for $32M is much cheaper per-unit capex than either Lynas or Molycorp, both of which have plants that are limited LREE separation. If the Orbite facility can be built according to plan, it will be a benchmark for low-cost REE separation. Keep in mind that Orbite is not a REE company. Orbite is a high-purity alumina oxide company that plans on producing REEs as a byproduct."

Orbite Aluminae Announces Management Changes
Tuesday August 6, 2013, 1:48pm PDT

Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT,OTCQX:EORBF) removed the position of Vice President Corporate Development, which was held by Marc Johnson and the position of Vice President Sustainability, which was held by Guy-Louis Boucher, effective today.

As quoted in the press release:

Effective today, the Company has abolished the position of Vice President Corporate Development, which was held by Marc Johnson and the position of Vice President Sustainability, which was held by Guy-Louis Boucher.

Orbite Aluminae Inc. Chief Operating Officer, Glenn Kelly, said:

I’d like to thank Marc and Guy-Louis for their hard work and dedication. We have undertaken these changes as part of our mandate to build a new Orbite that is more capital efficient and focused on achieving its short term goals, notably the finalization of our HPA facility.

“We instituted important changes since the beginning of the second quarter and initiated a cost reduction program adapted to our short term priority which is to complete the high-purity alumina plant within the new timetable which remains subject to securing sufficient funding” said Richard Boudreault, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Corporation is currently focused on the advancement of the following projects, briefly described in order of priority:

1. Short Term Priority: High-Purity Alumina (HPA) Plant: The Corporation is completing the construction and optimization of its wholly-owned HPA plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, which is currently producing intermittently at a capacity of less than 50 kg per day to satisfy customer sample requests. The plant is expected to achieve commercial production of 3 tonnes per day in Q3 2014, subject to securing the requisite funding. The Corporation initiated cost reduction measures aimed at reducing its operating capital requirements with the objective of completing the construction and optimization of the HPA plant.

2. Medium Term Priority: Red Mud Remediation (RMR) Project: The Corporation signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Veolia Environmental Services in February 2013 for the exclusive worldwide remediation of red mud using RMR plants based on the SGA plant design. The Corporation and Veolia are actively working on achieving specific milestones in 2013 and 2014 that include completing an economic model for first demonstration plant site selection, determining the optimal capacity, ownership and funding structure of the first demonstration RMR plant, completing engineering and establishing a construction timetable, subject to securing sufficient funding.

3. Long Term Priority: Smelter-Grade Alumina (SGA) Project: The Corporation has completed the basic engineering and a Preliminary Economic Assessment for a proposed SGA plant processing aluminous clay from its Grande-Vallée deposit. The Corporation intends, after the completion of its HPA production facility, to undertake a Feasibility Study, including site selection and detailed engineering, subject to securing sufficient project financing.

Summary of Financial Results

Income Statement

The Corporation is a development stage company and has no revenues.

The net loss decreased by $2.7 million or 44% to $3.4 million ($0.02 per share) for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $6.1 million ($0.03 per share) for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease is mainly due to a financial gain recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 resulting from a change in fair value of the embedded derivative pertaining to the convertible debentures holders’ conversion option and due to the fact that the comparative period included an impairment charge on the pilot plant fixed assets.

Balance Sheet

Cash and short-term investments decreased by $31.8 million to $8.8 million during the first six months of 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the continued investment in the construction of the production-scale HPA plant and exploration and evaluation activities related to the smelter-grade alumina project, research and development, general administration and the HPA plant operations expenses. The decrease was partially offset by the collection of sales taxes receivable.

Sales taxes and other receivables decreased by $3.5 million to $0.5 million during the first six months of 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. The decrease of sales taxes (GST, QST and HST) receivable from the Federal and Provincial governments is primarily due to the reimbursement of previously filed returns and the reduction in the amounts receivable at the end of June due to a lower volume of purchases compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.

Investment tax credits classified as non-current increased by $4.8 million to $24.7 million during the six months of 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 as a result of the recognition of investment tax credits receivable on the equipment purchased for manufacturing and processing in the Gaspé region. The Corporation has pledged all refundable investment tax credits from 2012 and 2013 related to its manufacturing and processing facility in the Gaspé region, as security for the $25 million convertible debentures issued in December 2012. The funds the Corporation will receive upon reimbursement of the investment tax credits will be deposited in a segregated account and serve as security for the convertible debenture. These funds will be released to the Corporation according to the terms of the trust indenture agreement.

Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) increased by $13.2 million to $61.3 million during the first six months of 2013 net of recoverable investment tax credits compared to December 31, 2012. The net increase results from an increase of $18.1 million before investment tax credits, in the investment in PP&E mainly due to the conversion of the pilot plant into a production-scale HPA plant, which increase is partially offset by the recording of $4.8 million in government grants and refundable investment tax credits on equipment purchases for the HPA plant. As at June 30, 2013, the Corporation had incurred external capital costs of $75.2 million (or an estimated $50.5 million net of recoverable investment tax credit).

Exploration and evaluation assets increased by $1.3 million to $16.8 million during the first six months of 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. The increase is mainly due to the valorization work done on the Le Tac and on the Chaswood properties, and preparatory work for upcoming studies on the Rimouski – Cap-Chat properties and the continuation of engineering studies relating to the SGA project.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $23.2 million to $5.4 million during the first six months of 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 mainly as a result of the payments made during the first and second quarters but also due to a lower volume of purchases made during the second quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.

Share capital and warrants increased by $13.8 million to $131.5 million mainly due to the presentation of the portion of the suppliers’ settlement agreements to be settled in shares as equity whereas it was previously presented as a provision at March 31, 2013. On July 23, 2013, the Corporation issued an aggregate of 14,525,146 Class A shares to 2 suppliers, at a price of C$0.945, in full settlement of their respective outstanding claims.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities increased by $2.4 million to $4.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase is mainly due to the general increase in disbursements due to the overall higher level of activities in 2013, the interest payments on the convertible debt in the magnitude of $500,000 quarterly and the variation in the non-cash working capital items period over period. Cash flows used in operating activities decreased to $3.8 million for the six months ended compared to the same period in 2012 principally due to the cash inflows generated by the variation in working capital elements, namely from the recovery of sales taxes receivable. This decrease was partially offset by the general increase in overall activities in 2013 and the payment of interest on the convertible debentures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities decreased by $327,482 to $20,789 and $410,536 to $23,784 during the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 since there were fewer exercises of warrants and options in 2013.

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $3.4 million to $6.7 million and $24.4 million to $27.9 million during the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 mainly due to the increased level of investment in property plant and equipment at the HPA plant which was partially offset by a reduction in investments in exploration and evaluation assets and a reduction in the inflows from short-term investments. Compared to the first quarter of 2013, the Corporation has reduced its cash flows invested in the HPA plant construction and commissioning activities while it completed the review of its capital cost estimates and timelines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due.

The Corporation is a development stage company that has not generated any revenues or significant cash flows from its operations. The Corporation’s source of funding has primarily been from the sale of equity and debt securities, and to a lesser extent, earning interest income, which is highly dependent on the cash balances and prevailing interest rates. The Corporation has limited financial resources, has no recurring revenues and continues to rely on the issuance of shares, debt or other sources of financing to fund its overhead, HPA plant construction, commissioning and ongoing operations and to advance its development-stage projects. As at June 30, 2013, the Corporation has an aggregate cash and short-term investments balance of $8.8 million and positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $7.6 million which are insufficient to complete the construction and commissioning of the HPA plant. The Corporation has negative cash flows from operations of $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Management is actively seeking to raise the necessary capital to meet its funding requirements but there can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. Until such time that financing becomes available at acceptable terms, the Corporation has taken action to limit the ongoing exploration and development work and reduce its operating costs. Accordingly, these conditions have resulted in a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Zitat von chonz: 0.495 CAD +0.090 (22.22%)
Weiss jemand warum?

Ich würde einfach mal sagen dasselbe wie ich in Beitrag 366 schon mal geschrieben habe.

Dass die Luftnummern auf ihrem Weg in die Bedeutungslosigkeit immer mal wieder große Sprünge machen ist nichts außergewöhnliches, wenn mal eine 0 hinterm Komma ist können das auch mal ein paar 100 % sein, und wer das geschickt nützt kann vielleicht seine Verluste verringern.

Auch damals gab es einen ähnlichen nichtssagenden Sprung nach oben

[dubimanky]

Ich finde es schwierig all das zu beurteilen. Keiner von uns ist vor Ort und kann die Situation beurteilen und natürlich besteht ein sehr grosses Risiko, dass die Aktien irgendwann bei 0,0001 sind. Bin mit ca. 50% im minus und habe sicher zu lange gewartet einen guten stop zu setzen.

[wohinistmeinGeld]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 45.273.097 von dubimanky am 18.08.13 14:21:06

es gibt so ein paar klare Indikatoren.
Als die Pusher Blättchen damals angefangen hatten stand der Kurs 7 mal so hoch und haben sie bis zum 10 fachen des heutigen Preises getrieben, mit welchen guten Aussichten brauch ich nicht zu beschreiben.
Dann haben sie das Pushen eingestellt und heute lohnt sich der Kauf nicht mehr, zu diesem Preis?
Das Märchen ist gelaufen, die sind einfach zur nächsten Luftnummer weitergezogen wo sie jetzt den ahnungslosen Kleinaktionären das Geld aus der Tasche ziehen.

Dann ist es üblich bei allen diesen Klitschen dass sie die Vorgaben nie erfüllen, z. B. werden Termine zum Produktionsbeginn immer wieder verschoben und natürlich braucht man deshalb mehr Geld und zapft nochmal die Aktionäre an.

Man kann solche Aktien statt lottospielen nehmen, die Chancen stehen besser wenn man es richtig macht, aber nie als Zukunftsinvestment.

[Steelsky]

Also ich halte Orbite nicht für eine reine Luftnummer, die nächsten Wochen werden hier ganz interessant werden und zeigen ob die Technik der Firma eine erneute Chance verdient. Das Management versucht eine neue Finanzierung auf die Beine zu stellen und ich glaube es ist zu mindest auf staatlicher Seite noch genug Wohlwollen dafür vorhanden. Der Anstieg vor einer Woche ist meiner Meinung nach auf gestreute short-squeeze Gerüchte zurückzuführen und hielt somit nicht lang. Aber ich denke sollte eine erneute Finanzspritze vom Management errungen werden könnte man dieses Jahr auch wieder Kurse über einem CAD sehen.
Einige gute interessante Diskussionen und Informationen zur Aktie können im speziellen Oribte-Forum nachgelesen werden - Für Leute die über einen Einstieg (oder Ausstieg) nachdenken ist das sicherlich lesenswert:

Aus den 1 t HPA zum Jahresende sind nun gerade mal 5-10 % geworden (50 kg im August).

PRESS RELEASE
ORBITE ALUMINAE INC.
TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE : ORT
OTCQX : EORBF
Orbite Provides Update on Status and Development Plan for HPA Facility
Montreal, Quebec. October 24, 2013 – Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT / OTCQX: EORBF) (“Orbite” or the
“Corporation”) today reported on the present status, development plan and updated budget for
completing its high-purity alumina (HPA) production plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec.
HPA Facility - Status Update
Orbite’s High Purity Alumina plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, continued intermittent production at a capacity
of less than 50 kg per day into the month of August. Operations were suspended in August and
September to allow the Corporation to complete, on a permanent basis, the installation of the plant utility
systems, notably the steam, process air, and waste water treatment systems. Intermittent operations
resumed in October to allow the production of commercial (4N+) samples for shipment to prospective
customers and the advancement of our product qualification program.
The Corporation is preparing for the finalization of the facility to the 3 tonne per day (tpd) commercial
production level. Engineering and Project Management firms have been selected and are ready to engage
pending the necessary capital being raised.
Orbite wishes to note that it has no present concerns related to impurities in its process and does not
perceive this to be a major issue going forward. The main issue that led to intermittent and reduced output operations is an equipment issue related to calcination, and not a process related issue. The
detailed design of a Circulating Fluid Bed (CFB) calcinator has been completed by a supplier for Orbite. The
Corporation is evaluating this design as well as other calcination technologies and expects approximately
7 months for calcinator delivery following finalization of the order. This order is expected to be placed
within three months following the raising of the necessary capital.

HPA Facility – Updated Budget
The HPA plant is comprised of two major sections, the alumina extraction unit and the alumina purification unit. The extraction unit allows for the recovery of alumina from raw ores such as clay and is
based upon Orbite’s initial hydroxide-based process design. The Corporation subsequently developed the
chloride-based extraction process which is the technology platform for the production of smelter grade
alumina (SGA), the treatment of industrial wastes such as Red Mud and Fly Ash, and the production of
other by-products such as hematite, magnesium oxides and silica including rare earth and rare metal
oxides. The HPA facility was designed and built with the extraction unit based upon the hydroxide
process. Considering the Corporation plans to convert the alumina extraction unit to the chloride based
process, it has decided not to invest to fully complete the extraction unit at this time (see HPA Development Plan below). In the interim, the feedstock for the alumina purification unit will be sourced
from commercially available products such as smelter-grade alumina, aluminum hydroxide or aluminum
from recycled products. All these products are readily available and will not impact operating costs or
product quality. Orbite expects it will produce HPA grade product in line with market needs and identical
to HPA quality from raw ores.
...
Once all phases are complete the Corporation expects that the Cap-Chat facility will have the flexibility to
use a variety of feed stocks such as commercially available products (smelter-grade alumina, aluminum
hydroxide or aluminum from recycled products), aluminous bearing clay from the Grande-Vallée deposit,
and red mud residue or fly ash, to produce HPA or SGA and other by-products such as hematite,
magnesium oxides, silica and rare earth and rare metal oxides. Thus, in addition to becoming a commercial HPA production facility, the Cap-Chat plant will also serve as a commercial scale demonstration facility for Orbite’s SGA, Red Mud Remediation (RMR) and Fly Ash Remediation (FAR) technologies.
The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Denis Arguin, Orbite’s
Vice President Engineering and Operations, who is a Qualified Person (QP), as defined by National
Instrument 43-101.

Klar, es gibt viele dieser Durchhalte-Stories, aber insgesamt ist weder die Idee noch Orbite selbst tot.
Vielleicht haben wir hier einen Phönix, keine Ahnung wie hoch er steigt.

Introducing a cleaner, more sustainable way to produce Aluminum
Posted on November 19, 2013 by David Smith

Orbite Aluminae (TSX: ORT) | (OTCQX: EORBF), led by President/CEO/Director Richard Boudreault, Executive Vice-President/CEO Glenn Kelly and Vice-President Engineering/Operations Denis Arguin, describes itself as “a Canadian cleantech company whose innovative technologies are setting the new standard for alumina production. Orbite technologies enable environmentally-neutral extraction of smelter-grade alumina (SGA), high-purity alumina (HPA) and high-value elements, including rare earths and rare metals, from a variety of sources such as aluminous clay and bauxite, without generating the toxic red mud residue that the traditional Bayer process produces.”

Orbite’s flagship property in Gaspé, Québec comprises 115 claims covering 6,441 hectares. The company notes that an independent NI-43-101 compliant report indicates “the presence of a highly homogeneous aluminous clay deposit – an unusual and extensive rock formation – with an average grade of 23.13% alumina.”

After analyzing results from Orbite’s pilot plant, the estimated volumes on the Marin site range (The Marin sector being one of three sectors of high-alumina content thus far delineated) range from 400 – 500 million cubic metres, Orbite states that these volumes can now fall under the classification of “Indicated Resources”.

Alumina (Aluminum Oxide) is found in bauxite – an aluminum ore, and in aluminous clays like those found at Orbite’s Grande-Valée property. Much bauxite is now shipped from distant locations around the globe to regional smelters. Orbite’s strategic planning involves supplying a portion of the Quebec market at prices competitive with imported alumina. This could help reduce the Province’s import needs, keeping more money within the local economy.

The Company owns 14 different families of intellectual property rights/patents pending, regarding the extraction of alumina. It is entirely possible that other producers globally may, at some point, decide to license Orbite’s technology in order to produce their own aluminum more cheaply and at smaller cost to the environment.

Extraction trials involving Orbite’s alumina to aluminum production protocols were conducted and finalized in the laboratory in 2004 leading to the Company’s deposit of its first patent application in 2007. The experiments demonstrated successful extraction of over 95% of the alumina found in the aluminous clay, extraction of high purity alumina of 99.8% before optimization, and low loss recycling of leaching solutions.


Orbite purchased an existing building in which to install an alumina extraction pilot production plant, and in 2011 produced its first tonne of alumina. The Company intends to build a 7,000 tpd smelting-grade facility in order to fully develop its nearby mine operations. Once this first plant has been successfully commissioned, Orbite could embark upon building a series of them, supplying and “thus displacing a significant portion of the $3 billion in alumina Québec imports annually, and thereafter begin addressing export markets in Europe and the North Atlantic.”

In this project, it is of note that Orbite had the support of Aluminerie Alouette – which having a 550,000 metric tonne production capacity per year – is the largest aluminum smelter in the Americas.

In late October, 2013, Orbite provided an update on its high-purity alumina (HPA) production plant as part of the process of preparing for the facility’s finalization to a 3 tonne/day production level. This work will require additional funding to complete.

At the apex of the alumina market is High-purity alumina (99.99%+), a specialty alumina which is even purer than metallurgical alumina. Its price rose from $15/kg in 2006 to an average of almost $400/kg a few years later. Orbite intends to focus on this higher value-added market segment. Among the products which use High-purity alumina, are high-pressure sodium vapour lamp tubes for city street lighting, synthetic sapphires for use in fiber optic communications, and high tech industrial lasers.

Alumina + Rare Earths:

The Company believes its patented process for extracting alumina from aluminous clay could also be used to extract rare earths from the same source. A feasibility study has not yet been undertaken, but Orbite has filed a provisional U.S. patent application.

Orbite’s extraction process uses less energy, generates less pollution, and leaves no caustic byproducts. If/as the Company succeeds at supplying market share to producers, the overall impact will be to lessen the need to ship as much bauxite to regional smelters from distant global locales.

An Orbite Aluminae Ladder for Success?

Some or all of the following possibilities could become realities:

Produce alumina from aluminous clay locally, using less energy and creating less pollution.
Smelt alumina on Site.
Become an alumina supplier to regional smelters.
Build locally, and/or lease the technology in other areas, additional, scalable ore production/smelting facilities.
Extraction/Marketing of several Rare Earth Elements (REEs) from the Company’s same aluminous clay sources.

In the mining business, as in most other operations, simple, clearly-stated goals and operating principles, based upon a sound premise, can go a long ways towards informing others of what’s taking place, and indeed increase materially, the possibility of operational success. Orbit’s statement, posted on its site here in its “White Papers” section is as follows:

“While our business is considered complex by many, our vision is clear – to leverage our advanced technology to cleanly extract alumina and other elements from the earth, meeting rising industry demand. Orbite’s proprietary process for alumina extraction does not produce toxic red mud, as do conventional methods; our non-polluting technology recovers a high percentage of alumina and other minerals found therein.”

Orbite updates construction of HPA facility

Montreal, Québec, January 29, 2014 – Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT / OTCQX: EORBF) (“Orbite” or the “Corporation”), announced today its first update on the construction and optimization activities of its high purity alumina (“HPA”) production facility located in Cap-Chat, Québec.

As disclosed in previous press releases, Orbite still anticipates a 12-month execution timeline following the recent raising of the necessary capital (see December 10, 2013 press release), comprised of the following general phases:

- Design review of the HPA facility, expected to be completed by April 2014 (3 months);

- Ordering and delivery of long lead items, including the calcination equipment, and detailed engineering for the upcoming construction (6-7 months);

- Installation / construction and start-up period (2-3 months).

Orbite has selected engineering firms Seneca, previously involved in the design, construction, and operation of Orbite’s pilot facility and familiar with its production technology, together with Groupe Alphard, responsible for construction management of the HPA facility.

To date, and according to plan, Orbite has initiated:

- the design review of the HPA facility, based upon performance to date;

- design optimization of different sections of the purification unit based upon pilot testing at Orbite’s technology development center in Laval;

- pilot testing of decomposition and calcination by two prospective suppliers of this equipment. The selection of the supplier and placement of the order will be confirmed by March 2014;

- the detailed design of sections of the purification unit;

- the evaluation of requirements to increase production capacity from 3 tpd to 5 tpd (Phase 2a). Incremental capital costs and schedule are expected to be reported in the second half of 2014.

Orbite also plans to commence the preliminary engineering for the conversion of the extraction plant to the chloride technology in the third quarter of 2014 (Phase 2b). Conversion to Orbite’s chloride technology along with the addition of a scandium and gallium extraction unit is expected to be completed in 2015. The chloride-based extraction process is the technology platform for the production of smelter grade alumina (SGA), the treatment of industrial wastes such as Red Mud and Fly Ash, and the production of other by-products such as hematite, magnesium oxides and silica including rare earth and rare metal oxides.

The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Infrastructure, Communities and Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, announces that the Quebec firm Orbite Aluminae Inc. has been granted major financial assistance for the acquisition of equipment to start up its high-purity alumina production facility in Cap-Chat.

Orbite Aluminae has developed innovative and proprietary processes for the production of alumina and other high-value elements, including rare earth and rare metal oxides. In addition to conducting technology development at its facilities in Laval, the company has operations in Montréal and in the Gaspésie town of Cap-Chat, where its high-purity alumina production plant is located.

Quick facts

The assistance has been awarded in the form of $4,000,000 in repayable funding through Canada Economic Development's Quebec Economic Development Program.
This support will serve to finance the purchase of equipment needed to launch commercial operations at the Cap-Chat high-purity alumina production plant.
With this project, Orbite Aluminae will become the only producer of alumina in Canada. The company, which is listed on the stock exchange, expects to be in a position to produce three tonnes of high-purity alumina per day at its facility.
A total of $28,500,000 in investment will be generated to put this plant into operation.

Orbite Aluminae " ‘turns a corner’, focus shifts to project execution" - MW/CMR, TORONTO - Mar 13, 2014

- H. Lazenby -
www.miningweekly.com/article/orbite-aluminae-turns-a-corner-…

" A recent $10-million equity investment in alumina producer Orbite Aluminae, the second investment from a government source this year, underlined the fact that the firm had “turned a corner” from the challenges experienced last year, and was now focused on completing the first phase of its high-purity alumina (HPA) plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, by the end of the year.

During a recent interview with Mining Weekly Online, newly installed CEO Glen Kelly pointed out that significant changes within the company had positioned it to better concentrate on reaching its goal of bringing the first phase of its 3 t/d high-grade alumina plant on line.

“Quebec provincial government’s significant investment was based on comprehensive technical and financial due diligence. This sends a clear signal that we are now done with financing – we only have to execute on the project,” he said during the recent Prospectors and Developers of Canada’s international convention, held last week in Toronto.

Orbite in December completed a $16-million public offering, supplementing a $40-million private placement with US-based institutional investor Crede Capital Group, which brought the total cash raised to $56-million.

This excluded the most recent $10-million equity investment by province’s investment vehicle Investissement Quebec, which followed the company receiving a C$4-million non-interest-bearing repayable financial contribution from Canada Economic Development's Quebec Economic Development Programme in January.

Orbite last year fell victim to a budget blowout, lifting the capital needed to complete construction of the 3 t/d second phase of its HPA plant to about $105.9-million, up from the 2012 estimate of $85-million.

As a result, Kelly, who had previously served as executive VP and COO, said that several key positions within the company had been refreshed with new talent, including strengthening the board.

An engineering review was started in January to evaluate and order the required long-lead equipment to complete the HPA plant. Under these counted the calcinator, for which the company was in negotiation with various EU- and Japan-based suppliers. Kelly said that the company expected to award the tender this month, for commissioning in December, which should allow the project to achieve commercial production by 2015.

Kelly indicated that the budget for the remainder of the project had been conservatively adjusted following two independent engineering reviews, noting that he was confident that the company now is fully funded until it starts earning revenue early next year.

Kelly stressed that the company would now approach its initial plans to produce HPA, silica and separated rare earths in a more “prioritised” way, focusing first – and exclusively – on getting the HPA up and running, before scaling the operation up to 5 t/d, after which it would focus on rare earths extraction.

Orbite’s proprietary plant technology would produce HPA from aluminous clay, bauxite, fly ash and toxic red mud – without leaving waste – technology that is already drawing interest from companies around the globe, mainly to mitigate environmental impact of existing concerns or to remediate old dumps.

“The critical selling point for us is that by applying our technology, waste becomes revenue,” Kelly said.

Orbite owns the Grande-Vallée aluminous claystone deposit, from where its main input would come. Orbite’s plant and properties are located near the biggest aluminium smelters in America.

The company’s TSX-listed share price rocketed to a high of C$4.80 in 2011, after it announced that it had produced the first tonne of HPA using the company’s patented process that marked “an important technological quantum step forward”.

However, trouble implementing and commercialising its technology, overambitious growth plans and a budget blowout shook investor confidence in 2013, and on Thursday, the stock changed hands at C$0.36 a share. "

Recent milestones "sharpen Orbite's focus on project execution" - MW/CMR, TORONTO - May 13, 2014

www.miningweekly.com/article/orbite-aluminae-turns-a-corner-…

"In its effort to strengthen investor confidence, Canadian clean technology firm Orbite Aluminae this week announced the appointment of Claude Lamoureux, the inaugural president and CEO of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, to become chairperson of the Orbite board of directors.

Lionel Léveillé, who has served as the company’s chairperson since May 2008, would remain on the board as an independent member.

The Montreal-based firm on Monday also said that president and CEO Glenn Kelly would join the board.

Lamoureux led development of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan from 1990 until his retirement in 2007, moulding it into one of the world’s leading pension plans, with more than $100-billion in net assets and services to more than 250 000 plan members.

Lamoureux previously spent 25 years as a senior financial executive with Metropolitan Life in Canada and the US, rising through the ranks to head the company’s operations in Canada. He co-founded the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance in 2002 to work for improved corporate governance practices at Canadian companies.

He chairs the nominating committee of Investment PSP, and The Learning Partnership and is a member of the International Corporate Governance Network. He is a fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries and the Institute of Corporate Directors.

Orbite, focused on building the first phase of its high-purity alumina (HPA) plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, by the end of the year fell victim to a budget blowout, rising debt, a falling share price and an unclear strategy. This resulted in a significant board shakeup starting with appointing Kelly as executive VP and COO in May last year, and culminating in Lamoureux’s appointment.

Kelly was subsequently installed as CEO following successful efforts to raise capital.

Orbite in December completed a $16-million public offering, supplementing a $40-million private placement with US-based institutional investor Crede Capital Group, which brought the total cash raised to $56-million.

This excluded the most recent $10-million equity investment by Investissement Quebec, which followed Orbite receiving a C$4-million non-interest-bearing repayable financial contribution from Canada Economic Development's Quebec Economic Development Programme in January.

An engineering review was started in January to evaluate and order the required long-lead equipment to complete the HPA plant.

Orbite in March awarded the contract to supply a 3 t/d calciner system for its HPA plant to Outotec of Germany.

At its Technology Development Centre in Laval, Quebec, Orbite performed numerous pilot trials in order to define the ideal conditions for the HPA synthesis to optimise product quality, production yields as well as operating costs. It also defined operating parameters for different feedstocks.

Orbite said that it continued to work towards a 12-month execution timeline, with hot and cold commissioning scheduled to take place during December, after which commercial operations were expected to start in January 2015, ramping up to nameplate capacity at 3 t/d during the first quarter of 2015.

In a recent interview, Kelly stressed to Mining Weekly Online that the company would now approach its initial plans to produce HPA, silica and separated rare earths in a more “prioritised” way, focusing first – and exclusively – on getting the HPA up and running, before scaling the operation up to 5 t/d, after which it would focus on rare earths extraction.

Orbite updates on progress of HPA facility
Equipment arrived from Germany
Operators hired

Montreal, Québec, July 14, 2014 –Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT / OTCQX: EORBF) (“Orbite” or the “Company”), today provides an update on progress of its HPA facility at Cap-Chat, Québec, Canada.

Following the closing of the $10 million financing with a U.S. institutional investor (see July 11, 2014 press release), the Company continues to progress well on all fronts towards completion of its three tonnes per day HPA production facility at Cap-Chat, Québec.

Further to its update press release of May 13, the Company is pleased to announce that the calcinator equipment ordered from Outotec in Germany has arrived in Québec. The shipment, representing approximately 50% of the total investment in the calcination system, includes a combination of refractory and solids handling devices, as well as monitoring and control instrumentation. Also expected to arrive at the plant from Outotec’s facility in Burlington, Ontario, are pre-shaped refractory bricks. Progress on fabrication of the vessels for the calcination system at Outotec’s Burlington facility is progressing according to schedule, with all progress and quality inspection reports being positive. The various components of the calcination system will be shipped to the Cap-Chat facility in accordance with the construction schedule.

Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite, stated, “Having received this first part of the calcination system is significant and brings us that much closer to actual production. We continue to execute well against our twelve month timeline and are on schedule for commercial production in the first quarter of 2015. There are many moving parts to building a plant that involve technical, financial and personnel issues, and we are fully on target with all of these.”

Operators hired

In additional news, in preparing for commercial production, the Company hired seven process control technicians for its HPA production facility to complement its operator’s team. The Company is pleased that these technicians are the first graduates from the new AEC Operation and Control of Industrial Processes programme, offered in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts by Groupe Collegia, in collaboration with Emploi-Québec and Orbite. The 16-month full-time programme commenced in February 2013 and was concluded with a 90 hour internship at Orbite’s facility at Cap-Chat. In addition to the operating staff, the Company also hired a locally-based mechanical technician.

Bruno Bibeau, plant manager of Cap-Chat stated, "We are very happy and proud of these appointments, strengthening our team and broadening our expertise. The appointments also confirm Orbite’s commitment to the development of a local workforce."

ORBITE PROVIDES UPDATE ON HPA PLANT CONSTRUCTION
First phase completed, project continues on schedule for commercial production in Q1 2015

Montreal, Québec, September 3, 2014 – Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) (OTCQX: EORBF) (“Orbite” or the “Company”) today provides an update on progress of the construction of its three tonnes per day high purity alumina (“HPA”) facility, at Cap-Chat, in Québec.

Further to the Company’s announcement of August 6, 2014, the first phase of the construction project, the structural reinforcement of the HPA building for the subsequent installation of the Outotec calcination equipment, has been completed.

Fabrication of the calcination equipment at Outotec’s Burlington, Ontario facilities is complete and installation at site is slated to commence the week of September 8th, following curing of the new foundation to support the equipment. The mechanical contract for this installation has been awarded to CNC Mechanical (2002) Inc of Boucherville, Québec. Management anticipates installation of the decomposition and calcination reactors to take up to 6 weeks, in line with Orbite’s construction schedule, and will be followed by refractory installation and curing. The refractory installation contract is presently under negotiation.

“We are excited to be entering the next stage in our project,” stated Denis Arguin, Orbite’s VP of Engineering and Operations. “With each reactor weighing some 30 tonnes and both measuring approximatively 3.5 by 4.5 by 9 meters, the calcination unit is a sizeable and complex system that requires an experienced and reputable party to complete installation. We are therefore pleased to have CNC Mechanical (2002) Inc commit to this phase of the project. Overall, work on the HPA facility continues on schedule for commercial production in Q1 of 2015.”

Orbite Awarded Green Chemistry and Engineering Network Award

Montreal, Québec, October 23, 2014 – Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) (OTCQX: EORBF) (“Orbite” or the “Company”) announced today it has been awarded the Chemical Institute of Canada’s Green Chemistry and Engineering Network Award. The award is presented to companies that have made significant contributions to the field of green chemistry and engineering, including the technical, economic, human health and environmental benefits.

The accolade was awarded to Orbite for its development of a breakthrough technology in the field of alumina production and monetization of red mud and fly ash. Alumina is the primary material used to make aluminium, and is extracted from bauxite. The industry currently uses an extraction process that generates a highly caustic waste, which is typically stored in holding ponds. Depending on the quality of the bauxite and process efficiencies, between one and two tonnes of waste is generated for each tonne of alumina produced.

The awarding body stated, “Orbite Aluminae has engineered a green, eco-friendly technology for producing alumina from clay and fly ash. That game-changing chemical process completely eliminates red mud, and represents by far the most important environmental innovation in the aluminium industry. For the first time in history, it is possible to produce the same quality of alumina and aluminium without any red mud.”

Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite, stated, “We are very proud having been awarded this accolade by such a renowned institution. We believe this award is a testament to the brilliant work done by our team at our world-class Technology Development Centre.”

Orbite Ships Samples to Five Prospective Customers, +Enters Supplier Qualification Programs - Apr 7, 2015
www.orbitealuminae.com/files/doc_news/2015/2015_04_07_ORT_PR…

"MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - April 7, 2015) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has shipped high purity alumina ("HPA") samples to five prospective customers, thereby entering their supplier qualification program.


The samples were produced by calcining aluminum chloride hexahydrate ("ACH"), the precursor material for HPA, which was successfully produced at the Company's HPA facility in Cap-Chat in a production run during the third quarter of 2014.

The ACH thus produced achieved purity levels in line with those required to produce 5N (99.999%) HPA. The ACH was subsequently decomposed and calcined using the Company's old calcination system, which was modified during the fourth quarter of 2014, as announced in the Company's November 5, 2014 press release.

Overall purity levels of the shipped samples achieved 4N8 (99.998%), or 'sapphire grade', as confirmed by an independent, third party laboratory. The sodium content, an impurity caused by the modified calcination system, was slightly above Orbite's targeted value but well within acceptable industry tolerances. As reported on December 4, 2014, extensive testing of the refractory to be installed in the new calcination system, carried out at the Company's Technology Development Centre ("TDC"), showed that lower sodium levels will be achieved once the new calcination system has been commissioned and is operational. Orbite thus foresees being capable of producing 5N HPA at commercial scale.

"This is an important milestone for the Company," stated Glenn Kelly , CEO of Orbite. "Even if the capacity of the modified calciner is limited, these samples were produced at our industrial facility, as opposed to being laboratory-prepared. This is an important distinction, and one, we believe, that helps validate our technology at commercial scale.

"Having indications of interest from over 30 customers with whom we have established agreed upon HPA quality targets, we are now moving to another important phase in our commercial outreach by entering customers' qualification programs. We expect shipping further samples over the next weeks and months."

"With the anticipated completion of the plant months away, we are now also gearing up for commercial activity. Supplier qualification programs in our sector are extensive and thorough, and we will be collaborating closely with our prospective customers to ensure our products meet with their exacting performance targets."


Investment tax credits

The Company announced on March 31st, 2015 that it had received $4 million as the fourth installment related to its 2012 Quebec Investment Tax Credits. The funds were due to the Company in relation to equipment purchased for manufacturing and processing in the Gaspe region during the 2012 financial year. Funds received to date total $20.3 million dollars.

As announced on July 22, October 6, and December 16, 2014 on receipt of the three first installments, these funds will be deposited in a segregated account and serve as security for the convertible debentures issued in 2012. The Company anticipates receiving the balance of its 2012 and 2013 investment tax credits during 2015.

Inclusive of this fourth payment, the Company has a balance of $9.7 million in Quebec Investment Tax Credits to be received, of which $1.6 million relates to the 2012 financial year, $3.7 million to the 2013 financial year, and $4.4 million for 2014, such that total Quebec Investment Tax Credits generated under this program as at December 31, 2014 reached $30 million.

Orbite HPA Production Update

Production of Amorphous HPA Continues -- Heating Sequence of Outotec Calcinator Commenced

MONTRÉAL, QC--(Marketwired - November 24, 2016) - Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX: ORT) (OTCQX: EORBF) ("Orbite", or the "Company") today announced that, further to its press release of November 11, 2016, production activities continue to progress positively at its high purity alumina ("HPA") plant.

As reported on November 11, feedstock digestion continues to operate automatically and smoothly, and digestion liquors continue to be transferred to the crystallisation circuit for the production of aluminum chloride hexahydrate ("ACH") crystals, the precursor to HPA.
In preparation for the calcination of the produced ACH into HPA, the Company continues to produce amorphous HPA to constitute the initial 'bed' in the fluidized bed decomposer and calciner. This HPA is produced using the Company's legacy low-capacity Harper decomposer and production of the bed material continues to progress positively.
The heating up sequence of the decomposer and calciner reactors has commenced and is progressing well. Accordingly, the Company anticipates introducing the required quantity of bed material into the new calcination system soon, which will be followed by the calcination of ACH into HPA.

"We continue to progress towards calcination of the produced ACH into HPA and will be commencing this final production step soon," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "While the production of the amorphous HPA takes time due to the low capacity nature of the Harper equipment, the HPA process and its different systems continue to perform well. Based on our progress to date, we are confident of being a commercial producer of 5N+ HPA soon."

Orbite files preliminary base shelf prospectus
Montreal, Québec, December 28, 2016
Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX: ORT/ OTCQX: EORBF) (“Orbite” or the Company”) announced the filing of a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the "Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada.
The Prospectus is not a commitment to undertake any financing but provides flexibility over the normal course of business to fund, if needed, the demonstration of the Company’s proprietary waste monetization technology.
Additionally, the Prospectus would be available to support additional commercial activities in regards to the Company’s high purity alumina (“HPA”) initiative, including the increase in capacity of the Company’s HPA plant and the production to inventory of specialty customized HPA products with high market potential.
“The filing of this base shelf prospectus provides us with additional flexibility in pursuing the large commercial opportunity represented by our waste monetization technology and puts us in a stronger position while we are in negotiations with potential funding partners,” stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite.
Additionally, it provides the flexibility to pursue certain additional commercial opportunities in the HPA space, if needed. The base shelf prospectus can be executed upon in multiple stages, with the funds used to create significant shareholder value at every step.
These filings, when made final, will allow the Company to make offerings of common shares, warrants, debt securities, convertible securities, rights or units comprising any combination of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "Securities"), up to an aggregate offering of $60,000,000. Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an eventual accompanying shelf prospectus supplement and, subject to applicable regulations, may include public offerings of debt or equity, or strategic investments. The Prospectus will remain effective for a 25 month period from filing of the final short form base shelf prospectus.
The Company also filed a revised annual information form (the “Revised AIF”) in order to better align the disclosure therein with the Company’s short-term and mid-term priorities and recognize that the mining operations are of lesser importance during these stages. Consequently, the Revised AIF no longer includes by reference the NI 43-101 Revised Technical Report - Preliminary Economic Assessment dated January 12, 2012, amended and restated on May 30, 2012 (the “PEA”).
A description of the changes made in the Revised AIF appears on its front page.

The Prospectus is not a commitment to undertake any financing, but provides flexibility over the normal course of business to fund, if needed, the demonstration of the Company's proprietary waste monetization technology. The Prospectus will also be available to support additional commercial activities in regards to the Company's high purity alumina ("HPA") initiative, including the increase in capacity of the Company's HPA plant, and the production to inventory of specialty customized HPA products.

"We continue to benefit from growing interest in our waste monetization technology," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "As we are transitioning from technology development to commercial producer, we will be able to dedicate more resources to the commercialization of this unique technology. The base shelf prospectus, together with our proven ability to raise funds, puts us in a stronger position to engage with the growing number of interested parties, and pursue formal commercial partnerships, an effort we are now accelerating. It also provides us with the ability to pursue additional opportunities in our HPA segment."

The Prospectus together with each prospectus supplement will allow the Company to make offerings of common shares, warrants, debt securities, convertible securities, rights or units comprising any combination of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, collectively, the "Securities"), up to an aggregate offering of $60,000,000.

Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an eventual accompanying shelf prospectus supplement and, subject to applicable regulations, may include public offerings of debt or equity. The Prospectus will remain effective for a 25 month period.

Orbite HPA Production Update
4N5+ HPA Produced

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 01/16/17 -- Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX: ORT)(OTCQX: EORBF) ("Orbite", or the "Company") today announced that, further to its press release of December 14, 2016, production activities continue to progress positively at its high purity alumina ("HPA") plant, with the first 4N5+ HPA produced entirely from the newly designed and constructed plant.

- Both acid digestion of feedstock and crystallization of the digestion liquors into aluminum chloride hexahydrate crystals continue to operate smoothly and automatically.

- Purity results of some of the aluminum chloride hexahydrate ("ACH") crystal batches produced to date indicate that the Company may be able to increase plant crystallization capacity with the equipment in place, thereby potentially reducing capital expenditure requirements for future capacity upgrades.

- In preparation for the calcination of the produced ACH into HPA, the Company successfully produced approximately 3 tonnes of amorphous HPA to constitute the initial 'bed' in the fluidized bed decomposer and calciner. This amorphous HPA, produced using the Company's legacy low-capacity Harper decomposer, was successfully injected into the Outotec decomposer.

- ACH crystals, produced and centrifuged in the crystallization circuit, were then successfully transported pneumatically for injection into the calcination system, operating at approximately 750 degrees C, normal operating conditions.

- ACH injection into the decomposer reached rates up to and commensurate with the production of 2 tonnes of HPA per day.

- HPA of 4N5+ purity was produced, which management considers to be very positive and which was ahead of internal expectations. Management anticipates that with subsequent batches, purity levels will trend towards 5N+, similar to the process the Company went through with the production of the ACH crystals.

- However, as some mechanical issues were noted with some heating elements of the calcination system, the Company has decided to proceed with a system cool down, for inspection, prior to ramp up to continuous operation.

"Having produced HPA entirely with the new plant, including the Outoteccalcination system, is a very important milestone," stated Glenn Kelly."While it has taken us a little longer than anticipated to get to this point, this was simply due to the learning curve combined with some relatively minor mechanical issues as we move towards our goal of producing 5N+ HPA. This is nothing unusual as our technology and equipment systems are new and complex. The key takeaway is that our process is solid and functions as anticipated. We are now going through a cooling down/inspection/reheating cycle at our ovens and oven heat up is expected in the week of January 23. Once done with our inspection, we anticipate ramping up methodically to 5N+ purity levels and 1 tpd production capacity. We look to achieve our 3 tpd nameplate capacity over the next months, as planned."

Orbite HPA Production Update

HPA Purity Maintained in Calcination Section First Commercial Orders Booked

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jan. 23, 2017) - Further to its press release of January 16, 2017, Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX: ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") today provides an update on the Company's progress with the production of high purity alumina ("HPA").

- In an earlier production run announced on January 16, 2017, close to 2 tonnes of HPA was produced over 3 days.
- Feedstock material fed to the calcination section of the plant consisted of aluminum chloride hexahydrate ("ACH") with a purity of approximately 4N7 (HPA equivalent), produced in the digestion and crystallization sections of the plant. The purity of the HPA produced using this source material was also approximately 4N7. This indicates that next to no impurities were picked up in the calcination section of the plant, a significant and better than expected result as an increase of impurities in the first few cycles was anticipated.
- Based on these findings and the Company's proven ability to produce 5N+ ACH crystals (see November 11, 2016 press release), Management is confident of being able to produce HPA consistently at 5N+ purity levels once the higher purity ACH batches are introduced into the calcination system.
- Additionally, the Company has obtained confirmation that its process is capable of producing HPA at temperatures lower than the design temperatures for the decomposer (800 degrees C) and calcinator (1200 degrees C), fully in line with intellectual property developed and filed by Orbite. Management believes that this finding will also contribute to lower operating costs.
- Following this analysis of the HPA produced and repairs to the heating element system, the Company will commence reheating, this week, the ovens of the calcination system to operating temperatures, following which it will continue with the production of HPA.
- The Company has also received its first two commercial purchase orders for the supply of HPA, the first steps in filling the Company's order pipeline.

"Relative purity parity between ACH crystals and HPA is something we had hoped for, and we are pleased to have achieved this so early in the use of the calcination system," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "Additionally, our ability to produce HPA at lower temperatures than originally anticipated is likely to make a positive contribution towards our bottom line once we are in full commercial operation. These recent results, we believe, continue to provide confirmation of the strength of the Orbite process. With the restart of the calcination system, our next step will be to ramp up production to commercial output of 1 tpd over the coming weeks and to nameplate capacity thereafter. Finally, we are pleased to have booked our first two commercial orders. While relatively small at this stage of the relationship with these customers, these orders are within our anticipated sales price range and signal the true commencement of our commercial activities. We expect orders for larger quantities as production grows".

Orbite Announces Bought Deal Financing

MONTREAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Jan. 26, 2017) -

Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX: ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a bought deal letter with Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the "Underwriter") under which the Underwriter has agreed to purchase on a bought deal basis 10,000 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $1,000 per Unit for gross proceeds of $10,000,000 (the "Bought Offering").

The Company also granted the Underwriter an option (the "Underwriter's Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, at one or more additional closings, at any time within 30 days of the closing of the Bought Offering, to purchase up to an additional 1,500 Units for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000, to cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes.

Prior to closing of the Offering, the Company may also enter into agreements with some of its key suppliers who may agree to receive Units as consideration for outstanding invoices (the "Units-for-Debt Offering") for up to $1,500,000. Any Units issued under the Units-for-Debt Offering will reduce the Underwriter's Option by an equivalent amount, such that the maximum amount of Units issuable under the Underwriter's Option and the Units-for-Debt Offering will not exceed 1,500 Units ($1,500,000) in the aggregate.

"Entering into an agreement for a bought deal financing is a strong signal of the market's confidence in Orbite's outlook as we ramp up towards commercial production at our high purity alumina production facility," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite.

Each Unit consists of $1,000 principal amount of 5% convertible unsecured unsubordinated debentures (the "Debentures") and 3,125 share purchase warrants (each single share purchase warrant, a "Warrant") of the Company (which is equivalent to 100% of the number of class A Shares (the "Common Shares") into which the Debentures are convertible). The Debentures will mature five years from closing date of the Bought Offering (the "Maturity Date") and will bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum payable semi-annually in cash or shares, at the option of the Company. Each Debenture will be convertible, at the option of the holder at any time prior to the Maturity Date, into the number of Common Shares computed on the basis of (i) the principal amount of the Debentures divided by the conversion price of $0.32 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price"), and (ii) an amount equal to the additional interest amount that such holder would have received if it had held the Debenture until the Maturity Date (the "Make-Whole Amount") divided by the then 5-day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "Current Market Price") on the date falling two trading days prior to the date of the conversion. The aggregate number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Debentures and for any payment of the Make-Whole Amount in Common Shares shall not exceed the number of Common Shares equal to the principal amount of the Debentures divided by $0.32 less the 25% maximum discount allowable in accordance with the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share for a period of 36 months from their issue date at a price of $0.32 per Common Share. The Debentures will also be convertible at the option of the Company after the first anniversary date on the same basis, subject to certain conditions.

For its services, the Underwriter will receive a cash commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised under the Bought Offering and under the Underwriter's Option and 4% on the sums settled under the Units-for-Debt Offering. The Underwriter will also receive that number of non-transferable warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 5% of the Common Shares into which the principal of the Debentures sold in the Bought Offering and the Underwriter's Option are convertible. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share for a period of 36 months from the applicable closing of the Bought Offering at a price of $0.32 per Common Share.

The Bought Offering and the Units-for-Debt Offering are expected to close next week, and additional closings may follow thereafter in connection with the Underwriter's Option. The Bought Offering, the Underwriter's Option and the Units-for-Debt Offering are subject to conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals (including Toronto Stock Exchange approval). The Units, including any additional Units sold pursuant to the Underwriter's Option and those issued under the Units-for-Debt Offering will be qualified for sale by way of the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated January 6, 2017 and prospectus supplement to be filed in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia no later than January 30, 2017.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Bought Offering to pursue production ramp-up and commercialization of high purity alumina plant ("HPA") from its HPA plant, and for general corporate purposes. Sums (if any) raised pursuant to the Underwriter's Option are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

Orbite Approaching 1 tonne per day of HPA production

Company to host booth at PDAC 2017

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 27, 2017) - Further to its February 2nd press release, Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") today provides an update on the Company's progress on its high purity alumina ("HPA") production.

Temperature ramp up of the calcination section was completed successfully, subsequent to which installation of the fluidization bed material was completed.

Injection of aluminum chloride hexahydrate ("ACH") crystals into the calcination system commenced, as planned, intermittently and at low rates for equipment response and testing purposes.

Injection rates and HPA production, on a continuous basis, were then successfully increased over the course of the last two weeks and are approaching the Company's intermediate production target of 1 tonne per day of HPA.

During this period, in excess of 4 tonnes of HPA was produced. Purity of the HPA produced, using 4N5 ACH crystals, is being tested. The Company anticipates purity in line with previously produced HPA at parity with the ACH injected. Pictures related to HPA production can be seen on the Company's website at http://bit.ly/1U5E1pk.

The Company anticipates achieving consistent continuous operation at 1 tonne per day throughput rates in the coming weeks, prior to continuing ramping up production further to the plant's 3 tonnes per day nameplate capacity.

"We are very pleased with the progress of production, and we are on the doorstep of our intermediate goal of continuous 1 tpd production," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "In the coming weeks we will continue to produce HPA, while completing test runs to calibrate how equipment and operations respond to certain changes in feed, temperature and throughput. We will then progress towards feeding higher purity ACH crystals to achieve 5N+ product and then continue our ramp up to nameplate capacity."

Orbite at PDAC, March 5-8, 2017

Orbite will be hosting a booth at PDAC 2017, the largest annual gathering of resource professionals and investors in the world. The Company's presence will provide shareholders with the opportunity to meet with management. Additionally, PDAC provides a platform for the Company to present its technology to interested parties.

The event will run March 5-8, 2017. The Company's booth is located at Exhibit Halls F & G - South Building (#3046) of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). Orbite will be represented by Yves Noel, VP Business Development, and Marc Lakmaaker, Investor Relations.

Irgendwie sind Die Daten aber auch nicht so richtig konsistent.
Meinen Die nun Arbeitstage?

Aber selbst dann haben 2 Wochen 10 Arbeitstage und irgendwie ergibt 4 Tonnen in keinster Weise einen täglichen Output von 1Tonne pro Tag......

Na ich weiß ich bin ein Pedant, aber 260 Tonnen Aluminium pro Jahr, begründen auch nicht gerade eine Marktkapitalisierung von 120 Mio CAD.......

[chonz]

Weiss jemand was der Markt gibt für 1Tonne Hpa ? Ich habe mal was von $23000 gelesen.
Die Zahl habe ich von:

TSX to De-List Orbite's Securities as a Result of the Company Having Filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2017) - Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX: ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") has been advised by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") that it will de-list the Company's securities effective as of the close of business on May 16, 2017 for failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX. The Company's securities will remain suspended from trading until that time.

The Company is currently subject to creditor protection under the provisions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act ("BIA") after having filed a Notice of Intention to make a proposal (the "NOI") on April 3, 2017.

The Company's goal remains to put in place the required financing to emerge from insolvency protection and protect the interests of all stakeholders, including its shareholders. Orbite is currently in discussions with its secured creditors and other financial partners as well as with its calcination equipment supplier Outotec to resolve the present situation and meet again the listing requirements of the TSX. There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in securing the required financing, resolving the present situation, achieving its restructuring objectives and reinstating the listing of its securities on the TSX or listing them on any other stock exchange.

Zitat von wohinistmeinGeld: ich hab grad zufällig so viele in Ebay stehen, Startpreis 30 EUR, das Stück natürlich, nicht für alle zusammen. Bei den Zukunftsaussichten ist das billig.

Die Zukunftsaussichten sehen so aus, dass die Aktie bis zum 16.05.17 vom Handel ausgesetzt und anschließend das Listing in Kanada, USA und D beendet wird. Was danach passiert weiß natürlich keiner, das wahrscheinliste Szenerio nach dem heutigen Stand der Dinge ist, dass die Aktien wertlos verfallen werden. Trotzdem ist man "verpflichtet" als Verkäufer den Käufer der Aktien zu beliefern - wenn nicht, wird zwar keinem "ein Bein ausgerissen", aber besser ist es allemal. Aus diesem Grund suche ich halt noch 25.000 Stück

Orbite Provides Corporate Update
MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 05/05/17 -- Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX: ORT)(OTCQX: EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") today provided an additional update on its efforts to emerge from insolvency protection for the benefit of all of its stakeholders.

Amendment to the MidCap Financial Facility
On November 4, 2015, the Company entered into financing agreements with MidCap Financial ("MidCap") granting the Company access to a credit facility by way of a revolving line of credit and term loans (the "Credit Facilities"). The Company's obligations under the Credit Facilities stand at USD 5.9 million (excluding USD 3 million in restricted cash).

MidCap and the Company have now entered into an amendment to the Credit Facilities which essentially pushes back the Company's obligations under the Credit Facilities into early 2018, notably as follows:

-- The release to MidCap of the USD 3 million in restricted cash, of which
USD 2.5 million will be applied by MidCap in partial repayment of one of
the term loans and the remaining USD 0.5 million will be applied in
satisfaction of the monthly debt service payments on the Credit
Facilities from April 1, 2017 up to and including the payments due and
payable on January 1, 2018;
-- A moratorium on the monthly principal payments until January 1, 2018;
-- The extension to January 15, 2018 of the Company's compliance date for
the covenant to produce at least 1 tonne per day of high purity alumina
during three consecutive days;
-- The extension to the end of March 2018 of the time period to meet
certain financial covenants;
-- Until such time Orbite has received proceeds from additional debt or
equity issuance or in-kind contributions from an equipment supplier in
an aggregate amount of not less than $8 million, Orbite will share with
MidCap 50% of any amounts that could be received from its insurer
pursuant to its claim under its business interruption insurance policy;
and thereafter Orbite will have the right to retain all such amount;
-- The forbearance by MidCap from exercising its rights and remedies with
respect to the defaults that have occurred or will be occurring under
the Credit Facilities as a result of the insolvency proceedings until
January 1, 2018 provided that during this period (i) the Company is able
to achieve a successful restructuring, or (ii) a court does not grant a
motion from a third party creditor to lift the stay imposed by the
Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") proceedings and take any
action for the purpose of enforcing such creditor's rights against
Orbite or its assets.

Canada Economic Development
Orbite also continued to progress discussions with its other secured creditor. Canada Economic Development has confirmed that it will not invoke any default under its loan agreements with Orbite nor modify any of the present terms of the agreements, other than to push back to 2018 any principal payments due in 2017. The major portion of the principal repayments under these agreements is scheduled to commence in 2020.

"We have progressed well on a variety of fronts. The Company is now under the protection of the CCAA with an initial stay of all proceedings until May 29, 2017. We expect the court will extend this stay until a successful restructuring has been achieved. In addition, we now have agreements in place with our major financial partners, MidCap, Investissement Quebec, and Canada Economic Development that allow us to move forward in a structured fashion. On the technical front, we are working very closely with our calcination equipment supplier to address the issues in an expeditious fashion. We continue to evaluate, with all of our partners, available financial alternatives in order to allow us to emerge from protection and resume production," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite.

The Company will continue to provide further updates as developments occur.

There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts, in obtaining coverage from its insurer, and in maintain the listing of its common shares on the TSX or be able to re-list them on the TSX or on another exchange.

Orbite Securities Delisted from TSX - Company in Process to List on NEX
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - May 16, 2017) - Orbite Technologies Inc. ("Orbite" or the "Company") (OTCQX:EORBF) announces that further to its press release of April 17, 2017, the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has de-listed its securities as of the close of business today for failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX.

The Company has filed to have its common shares listed on the NEX board towards a possible relisting, as a first step, on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") when and if the Company emerges from creditor protection and meets the listing requirements of the TSX-V. The listing on the NEX board is expected to become effective in the next few days however trading will remain suspended until further notice.

It is expected that the listing on the NEX board will allow the Company to file for the listing of its common shares on the TSX-V, on a simplified and cost-efficient basis. There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in obtaining the listing of its common shares on the TSX-V or on any other stock exchange.

The Company is currently under the protection of the Companies Creditors Arrangements Act and the Initial Order issued provides for an initial stay of all proceedings until May 29th, 2017 and appoints PricewaterhouseCoopers as monitor of the business and financial affairs of the Company.

The Company's goal remains to put in place the required financing to emerge from insolvency protection and protect the interests of all stakeholders, including its shareholders.

Orbite Provides Corporate Update
MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - July 27, 2017) - Orbite Technologies Inc. (NEX:ORT.H) ("Orbite" or the "Company") today provided an update on its continuing efforts to emerge from insolvency protection for the benefit all of its stakeholders.

Petition to the CCAA Court to extend the Stay Period and approve a DIP Financing

As announced on May 24, 2017, the Superior Court of Québec (the "CCAA Court") granted a motion filed by the Company under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") and issued an amended and restated order namely to extend the initial stay of all proceedings from May 29, 2017 to August 4, 2017 (the "Stay Period").

The Company filed on July 26, 2017 a motion to the CCAA Court seeking (1) the extension of the Stay Period to November 30, 2017 and (2) the approval of a $6.8 million debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from the holders of Orbite's 7% Convertible Secured Debentures due September 28, 2018 (the "2015 ITC Debentures") and a related DIP super-priority charge over the Company's assets. The terms and conditions of the DIP financing are set forth in a credit facility between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada in its capacity as trustee for the holders of 2015 ITC Debentures.

If approved by the CCAA Court, the DIP financing would serve for working capital and other general corporate purposes as well as to pay fees and expenses related to Orbite's restructuring process, and is expected to close two business days after the day an order approving the DIP financing is received.

The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

There can be no guarantees that the DIP financing will be approved by the CCAA Court and implemented or that Company will otherwise be successful in its restructuring efforts and will emerge from CCAA protection.

einen Bericht zum 2ten Quartal gibt es übrigens auch:

July 28, 2017
Orbite Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results
MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - July 28, 2017) - Orbite Technologies Inc. (NEX:ORT.H) ("Orbite", or the "Company") reports its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Summary of Operations

On March 31, 2017, Orbite announced that material issues had been encountered with the electrical heating system of the supplied calcination equipment at the Company's high-purity alumina ("HPA") plant. These issues were equipment related and not process related, the Orbite process having been previously proven with the production of HPA up to that date. The Company also announced that it had a solution to solve these issues, which required additional external capital costs and time to implement. Accordingly, the Company announced the suspension of its operations at its HPA plant, the anticipated default under the Company's credit facilities, and the ensuing existence of material uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

On April 3, 2017, the Company filed a Notice of Intention to make a proposal to its creditors under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act ("BIA"). Following this announcement, the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") suspended trading of the Company's securities and commenced a delisting review as to whether Orbite continued to meet the TSX listing requirements. Orbite's securities were de-listed effective as of the close of business on May 16, 2017 for failure to meet such listing requirements.

On May 1, 2017, the Company announced it successfully migrated from creditor protection under the BIA to protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") and the initial order provided for a stay of all proceedings ("Stay Period") until May 29, 2017. It also announced that:

Following a meeting with its calcination equipment provider, both parties had agreed to set up a task force approach and action plan to resolve the issues identified with the calcination equipment in the most expeditious fashion possible;
Investissement Québec and Canada Economic Development (as announced on May 5, 2017) both confirmed they intended to maintain the loan agreements in place under the current terms and were willing to support Orbite in its restructuring efforts;
The Cap-Chat plant was now under care, maintenance and control and in an effort to further limit its cash outflows approximately 39 full time employee equivalents, out of 81, were temporarily laid-off.
On May 5, 2017, the Company announced it had entered into an amendment to the credit facilities with MidCap Financial ("MidCap") which essentially pushed back the Company's obligations under the credit facilities into early 2018, in return for the release to MidCap of the USD 3 million in restricted cash, to be applied to the partial repayment of one of the term loans and the monthly debt service payments until January 1, 2018. The amendment also provided for the forbearance by MidCap from exercising its rights and remedies under the credit facilities, provided certain conditions are met.

On May 19, 2017, the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") issued a bulletin confirming the listing of the Company's common shares on the NEX Board under the symbol ORT.H, towards a possible relisting, as a first step, on the TSX-V when and if the Company emerges from creditor protection and meets the listing requirements of the TSX-V.

On May 23, 2017, the Company filed a motion seeking, namely, the extension of the Stay Period and the Superior Court of Québec granted the motion and issued an order:

extending the Stay Period until August 4, 2017;
amending the Initial Order to approve a Key Employee Retention Program ("KERP") in respect of certain employees of Orbite and authorizing a KERP charge against the property of Orbite; and
relieving Orbite from its obligation to call the annual meeting of shareholders on or before June 30, 2017 and postponing the annual meeting, up to January 31, 2018.
On June 21, Orbite announced the resignation of Lionel Léveillé, as a member of its Board of Directors, due to health reasons. Mr. Léveillé had been a Director of the Company since 2006.

On July 27, Orbite announced it had filed a motion to the CCAA court seeking (1) the extension of the Stay Period to November 30, 2017 and (2) the approval of a $6.8 million debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing from the holders of Orbite's 7% Convertible Secured Debentures due September 28, 2018 (the "2015 ITC Debentures") and a related DIP super-priority charge over the Company's assets. The DIP financing would serve for working capital and other general corporate purposes as well as to pay fees and expenses related to Orbite's restructuring process, and is expected to close two business days after the day an order approving the DIP financing is received. There can be no guarantees that the DIP financing will be approved by the CCAA Court and implemented or that Company will otherwise be successful in its restructuring efforts and will emerge from CCAA protection.

Calcination Equipment Repairs

The Company and its calcination equipment supplier have had numerous meetings and joint working sessions to review in detail and establish the root causes for the issues observed with the Cap-Chat calcination equipment. Both companies have a dedicated team working to resolve these issues. The diagnostic phase (root causes) is almost completed and the teams have started preparing the detailed action plan to implement the required solutions to resolve these issues in the most expeditious fashion possible. In parallel, Orbite has continued to work on the solution it had identified, the installation of a predecomposer. The Cap-Chat plant remains under care, maintenance and control.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

(Compared to Q2, 2016, all dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise)

The Company reported a loss before net finance expense (income) of $2.9 million for the quarter, an increase from a loss of $1.8 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year.

The net loss increased by $0.3 million to $2.2 million due principally to a $1.0 million decrease in other income partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in net finance income.

As at June 30, 2017, the Company had an aggregate cash and short-term investments balance of $1.2 million, and negative working capital of $5.4 million.

Cash flows used in operating activities for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.4 million compared to $4.3 million for the same quarter a year ago. The decrease is attributable mainly to accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash flows from financing activities in the second quarter of 2017 decreased by $13.7 million due mainly to lower proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures, short-term loans and issuance of shares partially offset by the repayment of long-term debt compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Cash flows used in investing activities during the second quarter of 2017 decreased by $7.8 million attributable to reduced investments in the HPA plant and changes in restricted cash.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, meaning on the basis that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

The recent developments announced above indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these financial statements, adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications would be necessary. Such adjustments could be material.

Quarterly Results Conference call

Orbite management will not be hosting its usual quarterly results conference call.

Orbite Provides Corporate Update
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jan. 30, 2018) - Orbite Technologies Inc. ("Orbite" or the "Company") (NEX:ORT.H) today provided an update on its continuing efforts to emerge from insolvency protection for the benefit all of its stakeholders.

CCAA Court extends the Stay Period

As announced on October 31, 2017, the Superior Court of Quebec (the "CCAA Court") issued an order pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") providing for the extension of the stay of all proceedings until January 31, 2018 (the "Stay Period"). On January 29, 2018 the CCAA Court granted a motion filed by the Company and issued an order to further extend the Stay Period until March 30, 2018.

Based on the cashflow projections filed by Orbite with the CCAA Court, the Company still expects to have liquidities until the week of April 22, 2018. Accordingly, the Company believes that such order will be beneficial to all stakeholders by giving it the required time and resources to emerge from CCAA protection.

There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts or will emerge from CCAA protection.

Update on the Calcination Equipment

Orbite reported to the CCAA Court that it continues to work with the calcination equipment supplier's technical teams very closely to resolve the issues with the calcination equipment and finalize the remediation plan. However, the timelines set forth by the equipment supplier are still not being met by it. Consequently, production activities are now expected to resume in May 2018, subject to raising adequate financing and implementing the contemplated supplier-related solutions.

The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

March 29, 2018
Orbite Provides Corporate Update
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - March 29, 2018) - Orbite Technologies Inc. ("Orbite" or the "Company") (NEX:ORT.H)today provided an update on on its continuing efforts to repair the faulty calcination equipment at its Cap-Chat Plant and also to emerge from insolvency protection.

Update on the Outotec Calcination Equipment
As announced on January 30, 2018, Orbite continues working with Outotec, the supplier of the faulty calcination equipment in order to resolve the issues with the equipment.

The causes of the problems encountered and their solutions have been identified by Outotec. However, to date, the parties are unable to agree on the financial responsibility and the time frame needed to perform the repairs nor on the warranty offered on the repaired equipment. Discussions are ongoing between the parties to come to a satisfactory agreement. Should no such agreement be reached in the short term, Orbite will commence legal proceedings.

Appeal of the decision on the motion against its insurer for indemnification
As announced on March 6, 2018, the Quebec Court of Appeal ("Court of Appeal") ruled that Company had the right to appeal the decision rendered by the Superior Court of Quebec (the "CCAA Court") which denied the motion filed against its insurer.

The appeal will be heard on May 11, 2018, by a panel of three judges.

Additional reductions of expenses
In order to protect its cash for as long as possible and finance its legal proceedings, the Company implemented a series a cost-cutting measures. In particular, Orbite has reduced the working hours of all of its employees regardless of their location, the Cap-Chat plant, the technology development center in Laval or the head office in Saint-Laurent.

Consequently, the 45 employees, including upper management, are affected by the measure. Most of them will be temporarily laid-off whereas a small group will remain with reduced work hours to maintain continuity of operations.

The Company intends to call the employees back as soon as possible if an agreement with Outotec is reached or should the Court of Appeal rule in favour of Orbite. There are no guarantees as to whether such an agreement will be reached or regarding the ruling by the Court of Appeal.

CCAA Court extends the Stay Period
As announced on January 30, 2018, the CCAA Court issued an order pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") providing for a stay of all proceedings until March 30, 2018 (the "Stay Period"). On March 29, 2018 the CCAA Court granted a motion filed by the Company and issued the following orders:

- extending the Stay Period until June 8, 2018;
- relieving Orbite from its obligation to call the annual meeting of shareholders on or before April 27, 2018 and directing Orbite to call such annual meeting, as the case may be, by October 31, 2018; and
- authorizing Orbite to make a payment of 50% of the amounts owing to the Eligible Employees, under the Key Employee Retention Program which was approved by the CCAA Court on May 23, 2017.

There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts or will emerge from CCAA protection.

 approving $650,000 debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing from the holders of Orbite’s 7% Convertible Secured Debentures due September 28, 2018 and a related DIP super-priority charge over the Company’s assets (the “Second DIP Financing”). The Second DIP Financing is in addition to the one announced on August 2, 2017 with the same lender (the “Initial DIP Financing”). The terms and conditions are substantially the same as for the Initial DIP Financing.

The Second DIP Financing will serve for working capital and other general corporate purposes and is expected to close on or about June 13, 2018.
According to the Company’s cashflow projections filed with the CCAA Court, the $650,000 to be received under the Second DIP Financing should allow the Company to maintain its reduced operations until the week of July 22, 2018.
There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts or will emerge from CCAA protection.

Update on the Outotec Calcination Equipment
As announced on March 29, 2018, Orbite continues working with Outotec, the supplier of the faulty calcination equipment in order to resolve the issues with the equipment.
The causes of the problems encountered and their solutions have been identified by Outotec. Discussions are ongoing between the parties to come to a satisfactory agreement.

Appeal of the decision on the motion against its insurer for indemnification
As announced on March 6, 2018, the Quebec Court of Appeal (“Court of Appeal”) ruled that the Company had the right to appeal the decision rendered by the CCAA Court which denied the motion filed against its insurer. The appeal was heard on May 11, 2018, by a panel of three judges and the decision is in deliberation.

Entscheidung hinsichtlich Ansprüche gegen die Versicherung durch Berufungsgericht bestätigt. Hat also die Versicherung mal wieder den Unternehmenszweck, nämlich nicht bezahlen zu müssen, erreicht.
Jetzt wird's wohl ganz eng für ORT

Orbite Provides Corporate Update
LAVAL, Québec, June 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbite Technologies Inc. (“Orbite” or the “Company”) today provided an update on on its continuing efforts to emerge from insolvency protection.

Appeal of the decision on the motion against its insurer for indemnification

On November 16, 2017, the Company announced it had filed a motion against its insurer Royal Sun Alliance for the payment of approximately $23.3 million to recover the costs associated with repairing the heating element system of the calcination equipment and the fixed costs incurred during the downtime experienced. The court has rendered a decision on February 23, 2018 which denied the motion filed by Orbite. As announced on March 6, 2018, Orbite appealed the decision.

The Court of Appeal rendered its decision yesterday and confirmed the decision of the Superior Court. Consequently according to the decision, the insurance company does not have to indemnify Orbite pursuant to its insurance claim.

Orbite Provides Corporate Update
LAVAL, Quebec, July 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbite Technologies Inc. (NEX:ORT.H) (“Orbite” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its continuing efforts to emerge from the protection of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”).

Update on the Outotec Calcination Equipment

The Company has entered into a transaction with Outotec to resolve the issues encountered with the calcination equipment and such transaction was approved by the Superior Court of Québec (the “CCAA Court”) earlier today. The transaction can be summarized as follows:

Outotec GmbH & Co KG (“Outotec KG”) will pay a settlement amount of CDN$3.5 million to Orbite (the “Settlement Payment”) and consequently the agreements that are currently in place with Outotec KG and Outotec Canada (collectively referred to as “Outotec”) are terminated;

Outotec. KG will extend to the Company an interim financing loan in the amount of CDN$4.0 million (the “DIP Loan”);

The Company and Outotec KG have entered into a new supply agreement in relation with the re-commencement of the operation of the calcination equipment at the high purity alumina plant (the “HPA Plant”). The required equipment will be supplied by Outotec KG without warranties and with a limitation of liability, on the part of Outotec KG.

As a consideration for the Settlement Payment and the DIP Loan, the Company releases Outotec Canada and Outotec KG from all potential claims resulting from the agreements currently in place.
The terms of the DIP Loan were approved by the CCAA Court and contain terms which are customary for loans of this nature, including payment of interest and the granting of security by a CCAA charge over all of the Company’s movable and immovable assets.

The terms and conditions of the DIP Loan as well as the rank of the security granted are disclosed in more detail in the Monitor’s report and will be filed in due course on SEDAR.

According to the Company’s cashflow projections filed with the CCAA Court, the Settlement Payment, the DIP Loan and other sources of funds expected to be received from other parties should allow the Company to increase its workforce and maintain operations into April of 2019. Management expects operations at the HPA Plant to re-commence during the second quarter of 2019.

CCAA Court extends the Stay Period

As announced on June 11, 2018, the CCAA Court issued an order pursuant to the CCAA providing for a stay of all proceedings until July 20, 2018 (the “Stay Period”). On July 16, 2018 the CCAA Court granted a motion filed by the Company and issued a fourth amended and restated initial order providing namely for the following orders:

extending the Stay Period until February 1, 2019; and

relieving Orbite from its obligation to call the annual meeting of shareholders on or before October 31, 2018 and directing Orbite to call such annual meeting, as the case may be, by March 15, 2019;
The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

There can be no guarantees that Company will otherwise be successful in its restructuring efforts and will emerge from CCAA protection.

Orbite Provides Corporate Update
LAVAL, Québec, July 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbite Technologies Inc. (NEX: ORT.H) (“Orbite” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its continuing efforts to emerge from the protection of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”).

Orbite completes the Transaction
Further to its press release of July 16, 2018, the Company announces it has received both the CDN$3.5 million Settlement Payment and the CDN$4.0 million DIP Loan. The terms and conditions of the DIP Loan as well as the rank of the security granted are disclosed in more detail in the Monitor’s report and on SEDAR.

Update on the DIP Financings announced in August 2017 and June 2018
Computershare Trust Company of Canada in its capacity as trustee for the holders of the 2015 ITC Debentures (the “Lender”) of the $6.8 million DIP financing announced on August 2, 2017 and of the $650,000 Second DIP financing announced on June 11, 2018, confirmed to the Company that it waived Orbite’s obligation to repay the borrowed sums under both DIP financings until October 1, 2018. Orbite expects such waiver to be further extended by the Lender in order to allow for the completion of the repairs to the calcination equipment before having to repay such borrowed sums.

The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

There can be no guarantees that Company will otherwise be successful in its restructuring efforts and will emerge from CCAA protection.

hatte ich vor lauter Arbeit übersehen, könnte ja vielleicht doch noch mal was werden:

October 04, 2018
Orbite Provides Corporate Update
LAVAL, Québec, Oct. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbite Technologies Inc. (NEX: ORT.H) (“Orbite” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its progress in implementing the solutions to resolve the issues encountered with the calcination equipment, as part of its plan to emerge from the protection of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (“CCAA”).

Update on Financial Situation
Further to its press release of July 16, 2018, the Company announced on July 30th that it had received both the CDN$3.5 million Settlement Payment and the CDN$4.0 million DIP Loan from the calcination equipment supplier (the “Transaction”). The terms and conditions of the DIP Loan as well as the rank of the security granted are disclosed in more detail on SEDAR.

Computershare Trust Company of Canada, in its capacity as trustee for the holders of the 2015 ITC Debentures (the “Lender”) of the $7.45 million DIP financings, confirmed to the Company that it had waived Orbite’s obligation to repay the borrowed sums under both DIP financings until October 1, 2018. Discussions are ongoing with the Lender to extend such waiver to a later date in order to allow for the completion of the modifications to the calcination equipment before having to repay such borrowed sums.

According to the Company’s cashflow projections filed with the CCAA Court, the Settlement Payment, the DIP Loan and other sources of funds expected to be received from other parties should allow the Company to increase its workforce, proceed to the modifications of the calcination equipment and the high purity alumina plant (the “HPA Plant”), and maintain operations into April of 2019. Management still expects operations at the HPA Plant to re-commence during the second quarter of 2019.

Orbite received earlier this year a $5 million installment (approximately 50% of the amount claimed) from the Government of Québec towards its 2016 Québec Investment Tax Credits (the “2016 ITC”), related to equipment purchased for manufacturing and processing in the Gaspé region. The Company expects to receive another installment of the 2016 ITC claimed before the end of the year once the customary audit is completed. Such $5 million installment was deposited in a segregated account and serves as security for the convertible debentures issued in August 2016. All of the ITC for the year 2015 were received and, as mentioned above, $7.45 million were converted into the DIP financings.

Update on Outotec Calcination Equipment
Concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, the Company and Outotec entered into a new supply agreement in relation with the re-commencement of the operation of the calcination equipment at the HPA Plant. (See July 16 press release)

Subsequent to the Transaction, the technical teams re-engaged to progress the detailed engineering and order the materials needed for the implementation of the required modifications.

Concurrently with the above, Orbite is finalizing the design of the changes to the plant required as a result of the modifications to the calcination equipment. Work at the site on the upstream plant sections commenced in September and is expected to start in late October on the calcination system.

The critical path remains the delivery and replacement of the refractory bricks required for modifications in the decomposer and delivery is slated for late January 2019.

Accordingly, the Company plans on starting up the hydrometallurgical section of the plant in February 2019 to re-commence production of ACH and the pyrometallurgical section (calcination) in the second quarter of 2019.

The Company has commenced recalling technical and operating/maintenance personnel in order to implement the above. This effort will continue into early 2019.
The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

There can be no guarantees that Company will otherwise be successful in its restructuring efforts and will emerge from CCAA protection.

[Wunram]

Grundsätzlich fand ich ja die Strategie Rotschlamm, Flugasche und sonstige geeignete tailings - also alles erst einmal Abfälle - aufzubereiten, sehr interessant.
Wenn jetzt die Anlage endlich mal so läuft wie sie soll, müssen die Finanzen in Ordnung gebracht werden; raus aus dem Gläubigerschutz (Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, CCAA) und wieder relisting!
Gute N8
