re: jbm v mcr the big picture
I understand the enthusiasm for MCR – Similarities to JBM as it has had to fight for market enthusiasm. Huntley’s nearly has always had them as a sell –JBM that is. One of WA brokers told me to sell them at $1.20.
What the future holds is anyone’s guess – But the graph looks good (JBM & MCR) Production for 06/07 will be abit skinny. Suggests 15/20000 ton possible by 2008 JBM holds: 26% NST 17.4% PIO (+ 60/75% Acra Joint Venture) 16.15% FCN (30% interest in the Collurabbie Project) -- And a few others. -- $173 million cash and receivables – no debt. You could do worse --- I would still like a script bid.
Thought I would post these grades to give some indication of the viability of Anomaly 1.
Mt. Keith: (WMC) 376 million tonnes @ average grade of 0.52 per cent nickel Leinster: (WMC) 32.6 million tonnes (underground) grading 2.3 per cent nickel 156 million tonnes (open cut) grading 0.6 per cent.
Anomaly 1: (JBM) 53 million tonnes at a grade of 0.62% nickel
