Net assetts as per most recent annual report show as $3,182,631. The top 20 shareholders hold 105 Million out of 155 odd Million (No. 1 Shareholder Abbottsleigh P/L holds nearly 72 Million = 41.35%) shares, so really theres only about 50 Million (40%) shares out there currently. And then there's all that AGS Maldon gold (and copper/gold in S.A. Gawler Craton tenement) that's just waiting to be mined with the existing and operational plant at Maldon, not withstanding the fact that the price of gold is now going through the roof, making the economics of getting it out of the ground and hence becoming more commercially viable, all that much better. And the same with all that 'U' that they will be able to sell almost immediately after being free carried through to the decision to mine via the farm-in partner (75%) Heathgate/Beverley mine. There is also two additional and potential gold/copper targets that have been earmarked on the AGS 'U' Beverley tenement, and these will be drilled in conjunction with the balance of the 'U' drilling ongoing currently.
'Environmental Issues' 'Alliance is fully committed to balancing the needs of all stakeholders. The operations of the Consolidated Entity in Australia are subject to environmental regulations under the laws of the Commonwealth and the States in which they operate. The only foreseeable environmental issues affecting the Company relate to its exploration, mining and treatment operations. In Victoria, the Department of Primary Industry (DPI) has caused rehabilitation bonds to be lodged against the Company’s mining and exploration tenements to a total of $323,500 (2004: $325,000). Various government and local authority bodies control and monitor the Maldon Gold Project throughout the year and regular meetings of the Environmental Review Committee are held. This committee comprises representatives from various government departments, local government, the local community and project management. Since 30 June 2004 the Company has commenced a drilling program in Maldon.
