Someone posted this article today. Didn't know that Prina Feldman was preciously the President of Volcan Holdings and it was stated in the article that the mining & rehabilitation costs for the South Johnstone deposit is less than $13 per ton & had already reported tonnage of over 50 millions tons with a potential resource estimate well in excess of 5 times that amount. ( 15th June 2010)


NEW YORK. June 15 /CNW/ •• Volcan Holdings,Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VOHO) (the "Company" or 'Volcan") - Volcan's pursuit of large-scale bauxite projects inAustralia has led to the Queensland State Government granting Volcan new exclusive mineral rights to large historic bauxite deposits.




Volcan's latest acquisition, the 409 square kilometre South Johnstone Bauxite Project, now officially signed with the Queensland Mines and Minerals Department, has already through previous drilling, reported tonnage of over 50 million tons with a potential resource estimate wellin excess of five times that amount.

The resource was drilled in 1961 by Carpentaria Exploration Company Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Mt Isa Mines, which was one of Australia'slargest mining companies. The reports were found by Volcan's geologists following research into the Government's historical geological archives of reported bauxite deposits.The resource islocated in an ideal infrastructure setting, being connected by railto the nearest deepwater port, only ten mi es from the reported depos .

Please be advised,however. that these reports predate the current Australasian Joint Ore Reserve Committee requirements for reporting of resources, and therefore are not classified as JORC (or its equivalent 43-101) compliant resources and are reported here only forinformational reference.

Because the deposits are virtually at surface, Volcan anticipates mining and rehabilitation costs typical to these sorts of deposits at less than $13 per ton, with sales potentially reaching as high as $80 per ton from port, based on historical prices. Depending on the grade of bauxite,and final mining and transportation costs, the profits on an economic bauxi e mine could be very significant. It is the intention of Votcan to mine millions of tons of bauxite annually once full mining licenses are obtained, which Volcan is currently working towards achieving.

The Company is also investigating the possibilty of bui ding an alumina refinery in the areain order to substantially increase profit margins.

The South Johnstone Bauxite Project is located approximately 500 mi es from Rio Tinto's massive wond class Weipa bauxite mine, and approximately 50 miles from the city of Cairns.Thisis in addition to Volcan's many other bauxite projects throughout eastern Australia.

Pnina Feldman, Volcan's President said,"World shortage near infrastructure of commercially viable bauxite, and the willingness of the Queensland Mines Department to assist in the furtherance of bauxite exploration in its area of jurisdiction,makes this project an extremely exciting acquisition for Volcan."

"This acquisition places our company at the forefront of potential new major bauxite production inAustralia. The entire team at Volcan look forward to rapidly enhancing the Company's assets and increasing shareholder wealth by achieving our goals of becoming a major producer of bauxite and alumina worldwide." she said.

One of Volcan's expert bauxite geologists,Peter Temby, said, "We are highly encouraged with the results of our bauxite acquisitions and exploration to date.The recent research by our team into historical data at South Johnstone has greatly further enhanced the Company's prospects of quickly becoming a significant bauxite producer." Peter Temby is the geologist largely responsible for coordinating the recent discovery of a >100 million ton bauxite deposit in Laos.

Bauxiteis the most important aluminium ore and Australia is one of the top global producers of bauxite with almost one-third of the wortd's production.Bauxiteis the only raw material usedin the production of alumina on a commercial scale in the United States.
