As one would imagine, and many more were suspicous of, anything of value left in UMC will now be transferred over to the new and dynamic Venus Metals.
That includes the boardroom table and chairs. Only have to wheel them next door.
And what will Venus Metals new direction be and what metal of choice will they focus on?
ASX Release: 10th June 2008 ASX Code: VNS VENUS ACQUIRES IRON ORE INTERESTS IN THE HEART OF THE MID WEST IRON ORE PROVINCE HIGHLIGHTS • Venus Resources Limited is pleased to announce the 100% acquisition of five exploration license applications and one prospecting license application in the Mid West Iron Ore Province immediately on strike from the extensive tenement holdings of Gindalbie Metals, Royal Resources, Portman Mining and Midwest Corporation. Other contiguous tenement holders to the north include Ferrowest and Aurox. • The tenements cover approximately 25 kilometres of a tightly folded BIF sequence (the Windanning Formation), which further to the south hosts the Mungada Hematite Deposit (Gindalbie Metals), the Karara Magnetite Deposit (Gindalbie Metals) and the Koolanooka/Blue Hills Hematite DSO Project (Midwest Corporation).
It's IRON ORE.
That's right suckers (myself included). That's June last year not June this year.
Anything of value left in UMC iron ore related will find itself a new home.
So whilst the rest of us last June of LAST YEAR were thinking of Mining Railway. Well actually we were still thinking that at the start of this month THIS YEAR, (dunno how we got that in our thick heads...derrr). Someone else had other ideas about what they were doing right back to at least 18 MONTHS AGO.
Exact same day UMC gets a takeover offer Venus applies for a name change. SAME DAY....COINCIDENCE SURELY?
So refreshing to know Matt has steadfastly been living up to his corporate responsibilities and fudiciary duties as CEO.
Wait till the independent report comes in with the value of the remaining UMC tenements and the value of the midwest iron ore projects and how much dilution there will be to vend them into Venus METALS not DIAMONDS anymore.
Existing UMC shareholders will probably get some scrip in Venus for giving up the tenements but the value will be that skee whiffed towards the higher valuation applied to what is already existing in Venus that the dilution will be to the detriment of UMC holders and benefit of existing Venus holders.
Wanna know who is in the top 20 of Venus as of latest annual report?
Matt's at the top good old numero uno Barry is number 4 Hogan and partners number 5 Theseawolf is number 7 (actually he's in the top 20 TWICE)
Nothing like being able to move a little stock around between accounts hey Chris.
All the old familiar faces. Nice big one happy family.
