Put another way, this share price is valueing the Amber assets at £5.6 million on top of LMY's £2.6 million market cap today. 411 million shares at 2p = £8.2 million.
Posted at 22/12/2009 14:24 by themoneymonster2
Yes weak markets but this market cap does not make any sense. When LMY announced they were taking over Amber for £9.5 million they were going to issue 285,426,846 shares to Amber representing 3.3p per share in AfNat. The share price 2 days before AfNat floats is 2p? The Amber shareholders need a near on 50% increase just to get their value back. Madness of AIM I guess. Wish I was buying mine at 2p.
Posted at 21/12/2009 09:32 by rastapastamasta
So Afnat COULD sell off the Amber share holdings to raise cash.
Not sure if it would be considered taking advantage of market conditions though:
Bannerman is down from $1.2 to $0.7 after announcing higher than expected mining costs.
Extract is trading around $8 having been at $12 earlier this year.

LMY has paid approx the value of Amber's shareholdings for the T/O. This means that all other projects have been thrown in for free. Could be a good bit of business, especially if Afnat can wait for share price of Bannerman and Extract to recover before selling.

Will be interesting to see what price these start trading at on 23/12.

No it means that more shares will be iisued as the RTO values Amber at £9.5 million and LMY is only worth £4 million odd. I think the deal values the shares at the closing price of LMY when the news was released and that was 3.38p.
I think there will be 411 million shares in issue of Afnat? x by 3.38p = £13.5 million approx, or £9.5 million (amber) plus £4 million (lmy)
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I am not saying it is the same but take a look at what happened to North River for some guidance. Since the reverse takeover and 3p placing last month the shares have steadily risen.

My guess would be that the market will initially undervalue the rentry on AIM. I am actually not sure what the reverse takeover of Amber gives the company apart from cash and investments. It will not allow them to develop the mining assets so i suspect that once we see the share price settle then expect a capital raising which would have been difficult to achieve with Lithic alone. Then with a share placement expect Dattels to appear somewhere either personally or through one of his other companies. This is all about the long game and the Bannerman, KAH and Western Metal stakes are all in the game as it all connects to Namibia and Extract.

(i) convert all existing unissued preferred shares into ordinary shares; (ii) increase the Company's authorised share capital from £3,020,000 to £30,000,000 by the creation of an additional 2,698,000,000 ordinary shares of £0.01 par value each; and (iii) change the Company's name to AfNat Resources Limited will also be sought.

The expansion of the company to 2.7bn shares is Polo all over again.

Afnat will become an African Natural Resources company but to furnish the ambition of Dattels and Mellon.

LMY's neighbour in Zambia has just released this news...

"The Directors of African Energy Resources Limited are pleased to announce that the Zambian Minister for Mines and Minerals Development has granted Large Scale Mining Licence 12634‐HQ‐;LML ("ML") to Albidon Exploration Limited for the development of the Chirundu Uranium Project. The ML covers an area of 248 km2 and contains the Njame and Gwabe uranium deposits and the recently discovered Siamboka prospect (Diagram 1), where exploration and resource delineation drilling programmes are currently underway."


Looking at the maps on their websites, it seems that LMY's Mpande and Oryx prospects are adjacent to African Energy's Chirundu project...



This could be good news for LMY, but I don't know if it has any relevance to LMY's merger and/or acquistion plans.
Posted at 15/10/2009 14:09 by themoneymonster2
The shareholders in the recent holdings list own 93.8% of the total shares in LMY meaning that there are only 6.2% in free float which is 7,778,079 shares. I own nearly 600,000 of them. How many has everyone else got? Trying to work out how many shares are in free float as there seems to be hardly any yet share price never really moves. Any good news and this really could go up multiples in one day. Expect a 100-200% increase on the day a merger is announced. That is the potential, with limited downside. I will continue to buy at up to 4p.

Annual Financial Report (Niger Uranium)



TIDMURU

RNS Number : 4539Z
Niger Uranium Limited
22 September 2009





For immediate release
22 September 2009
Niger Uranium Limited


("Niger Uranium", "NUL" or the "Company")


Audited Results for the year ended 31 March 2009


The Company announces its audited results for the year ended 31 March 2009. The
Company will be posting a copy of the report and accounts to shareholders on or
before 30 September 2009. A copy will be available from the Company's website,
being www.niger-uranium.com, from Thursday 24 August 2009.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


I am delighted to present to our shareholders and stakeholders the second annual
report and accounts from our company. This annual report is the first one that I
have been able to deliver since my appointment as your Non-executive Chairman in
February of this year.


Over the past 12 months, the world has been affected by great economic
uncertainty, in part created by a collapse in confidence within the financial
services sector, which has triggered a global downturn in consumption.


As with most public companies operating in the natural resources sector, the
share price of Niger Uranium Limited has suffered a decline that, broadly
speaking, has fallen in line with the rest of the market.


Today, I am pleased to report that our share price has recovered to be more
reflective of the value of our investments, the status of our projects and the
sector in which we operate.


Despite a fall in the value of most commodities during this period of global
economic slowdown, the price of uranium, U3O8, has recovered relatively quickly,
from a two-year low of US$38/lb to US$44/lb. This price increase reflects the
increasingly positive attitude that several governments have adopted in relation
to the role that nuclear energy can play in the modern world, in which the
production of energy has to be undertaken with environmental concerns in mind
and with the minimum of greenhouse gas emissions.


Later this year, world leaders, scientists, environmentalists, academics and
policy-makers will gather in Copenhagen, Denmark, to participate in the United
Nations' climate change conference, COP15. I am confident that one of the
outcomes from this gathering will be to reaffirm the significant role that
nuclear power has to play in the energy production sector as the world moves
away from fossil fuel-generated energy to a low carbon economy.


According to the World Nuclear Association, as of June 2009, 47 nuclear reactors
are under construction and proposals exist for another 282. Between 72,000 and
81,000 tonnes of U3O8 is required annually to satisfy current demand.
Over the last 12 months, your company has continued to make steady progress with
regard to the development of our projects, particularly those in Niger and at
the Henkries Project in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.


A full roundup of the current status of our investments and projects is set out
in the Acting CEO's report.


The company's recent placement of 4,340,052 new ordinary shares raised
GBP911,411 before expenses, equivalent to approximately US$1.5 million. The
company intends to use the placing proceeds to provide additional working
capital for the development of its uranium interests.


Notwithstanding our focus on projects with near-term potential, Niger Uranium
continues to look for new locations, opportunities and assets to enhance our
portfolio of commercially viable uranium properties.


I would like to re-affirm our strategy, which governs all of our operations:
Niger Uranium will act as a pure uranium investment, exploration and mining
development company, one that will move into production earnings through the
development of a diverse portfolio of uranium properties. Our mandate can be
summed up in five key points. We will:


1. Develop existing concessions and deliver cash flow as soon as possible
2. Expand the geographical portfolio of uranium assets by acquiring new properties
with proven uranium reserves, on a standalone, earn-in, joint venture or
partnership basis
3. Continue with the drilling and exploration programmes at our existing properties
and in support of the properties in which we have an interest
4. Work in partnership with local communities and regulatory institutions, and pay
the utmost respect to the environment and the social welfare of the citizens and
communities in our respective fields of operation
5. Operate under a sound fiscal and corporate governance framework



At this point, I would like to thank the previous Chairman of Niger Uranium,
James Mellon, for his sterling work in guiding our company from first listing to
the position we are in today, a position of great potential.


I would also like to thank the board, management, our shareholders and all
stakeholders for their continued support as we look forward to another busy year
of activity.


David Weill
Chairman

ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT


Like most companies across the world, we have had to face the challenges
presented to us by the current uncertain global economic conditions, yet,
despite economic events outside our control, we have remained rigidly focused on
keeping our development and investment programmes on track.


I am pleased to give you the following update of our progress over the last
year.


Investment
Kalahari Minerals, Extract Resources and the Husab Uranium (Rössing South)
Project, Namibia
Utilising our in-house knowledge and experience of uranium mining in Namibia,
Niger Uranium decided in late February 2008 to take a strategic 15.8% investment
in Kalahari Minerals, in line with our stated objective to deliver shareholder
value by acquiring stakes in viable uranium mining initiatives, particularly in
Africa. Kalahari Mineral's principal asset was then a 40.6% stake in Extract
Resources, held via the company's subsidiary Kalahari Uranium Limited.


Extract Resources (EXT) is an Australian ASX and Toronto TSX listed uranium
exploration and development company that owns and manages the Husab Uranium
(Rössing South) Project, 45 kilometres northeast of Walvis Bay in Namibia.


Drilling results from the Rössing South Zone 1 property so far show a resource
estimate of 145 million lbs at a grade of 449ppm U3O8, clearly demonstrating
that Rössing South has the potential to be a world-class uranium mine.


Your board is pleased with the progress being made by both Kalahari Minerals and
Extract Resources in respect to Rössing South and in particular with the recent
mobilisation of Extract Resources' technical and managerial teams in Namibia.
Increases in the share price of both of these companies has directly and
indirectly added real earn-in value to your company and we look forward to
Rössing South moving swiftly into the engineering, development and production
stages.


Henkries Uranium, Namakwa District, Northern Cape, South Africa
The last 12 months has seen significant progress at the Henkries Project,
particularly at Henkries Central and Henkries North. At Henkries North a total
of 2,044 metres of drilling (109 boreholes) has been completed to date.
Following an extensive drilling period, which involved sinking an additional 12
boreholes at Henkries Central (with 11 of these containing significant
mineralisation) we released the maiden resource estimate for Henkries Central,
following the completion of Phase-1 drilling at Henkries North. The
SAMREC-compliant undiluted resources for Henkries Central of 2.97 million lbs
U3O8 in the Measured and Indicated categories at an average grade of 501 ppm
U3O8, and an additional undiluted 1.5 million lbs U3O8 in the Inferred category
at an average grade of 294 ppm U3O8 using a cut-off grade of 100 ppm U3O8.


The board and management are delighted with these results, which confirm the
presence of a large-scale uranium deposit with a favourable grade and low strip
ratio. These findings are in line with the results that Anglo Operations Limited
reported in its historic feasibility study for the Henkries Deposit.


We are confident that further drilling at Henkries Central and North will
confirm that Henkries can eventually move to full feasibility and production.


The acquisition of the Henkries Project was subject to regulatory approval in
the form of the consent of the South African Minister of Minerals and Energy
(the "Minister") as required in terms of Section 11 of the South African Mineral
and Petroleum Resources Development Act, No. 28 of 2002 (MPRD Act) pursuant to a
'change of control' occurring in respect of control of the prospecting license
resulting from the acquisition. To date this approval has not yet been received
and the next stage of the development of this project is subject to such
approval being forthcoming.


Exploration Progress
Irhazer & In Gall, Tim Mersoi Basin, Niger
Niger remains one of the world's most important sources of uranium. Niger
Uranium is amongst a group of major global uranium investors and mining
companies that have investment and mining operations in the country. Investors
include Areva, Cameco, China National Petroleum Corporation, China National
Uranium Corporation and Korea Resources Corporation. Two mines are under
construction, including the Areva-managed mine that will be the world's largest
open pit uranium mine, due to commence operations in 2012. We all share a common
interest in making sure the investment environment in Niger remains harmonious.


Niger Uranium holds eight prospecting licenses in Niger, covering a total area
of 1,673,644 acres (6,773 square kilometres). Added together, the Irhazer, In
Gall, Kamas 1, 2, 3 and 4 and Dabala 3 and 4 licenses represents one of the
largest mineral property holdings in the Tim Mersoi Basin, the world's fifth
most important uranium producing district.


Large-scale radon and geochemical surveys commenced on the 100% owned Irhazer
licence area. The exploration team targeted an apparent repetition of the type
of geological setting present at Azelik, to the west of the licence area, where
a significant uranium resource is being developed. We believe that radon
detection, coupled with conventional geochemistry and geological interpretation,
is the best means of detecting a potential 'buried' deposit, which may be
obscured due to the presence of a cover of younger sediments in the area. We
await evaluation of this survey, following further exploration work on the
ground in Niger, which we hope to commence later this year as and when the
security situation in Niger improves sufficiently.


UrAmerica Plc
Salta & Chubut Provinces, Argentina/Paraguay/Colombia, South America
On 21 April 2008, Niger Uranium acquired an initial 20.89% holding in UrAmerica
plc, a junior uranium mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition
and exploration of high-quality assets in Latin America, particularly Argentina,
Paraguay and Colombia. UrAmerica has a strong South American management and
technical team with more than 20 years' experience in uranium exploration
throughout the region.


Argentina
UrAmerica has exploration permits ("cateos") in the Chubut and Salta provinces,
which cover a total surface of approximately 270,000 hectares in areas with
proven uranium anomalies and existing uranium mines (the Cerro Solo mine in
Chubut province and the Don Otto mine in Salta). UrAmerica has recently
finalised an advanced exploration Phase II.b in Salta, concentrating on three
areas thought to be the most prospective, Isonza, Cerro Tin Tin North and Las
Casitas with the objective to commence drilling operations in 2009.


The independent mining and technical consultancy SRK Consulting was invited to
conduct a review of the exploration activities undertaken during the Phase ll.b
Salta Province Argentina programme and issued a report in June 2009. SRK has
reported good potential for significant mineralisation over a widespread area at
the property, evidenced by a uranium anomaly that stretches for several
kilometres along the north-southwestern flank of the fold structure at Isonza
and similar structures at Las Casitas and Cerro Tin Tin North. SRK issued a set
of recommendations in the report that UrAmerica will follow up with in due
course.


Paraguay
A 100,000-hectare area has already been granted in the Parana Basin, East
Paraguay. The area contains known uranium mineralisation. CUE Resources and Wild
Horse Energy have both undertaken drilling programmes in this region in the
past.


Colombia
UrAmerica has filed for exploration permits covering 60,000 hectares with
uranium potential in Santander Province.


Our investment in UrAmerica holds much promise and we look forward to working
with UrAmerica, when called for, to provide the technical support that the
company requires.


Board of Directors
There have been a number of changes to the Board of Directors over the last
year. James Mellon has left his post as Non-executive Chairman and David de
Jongh Weill was appointed as Non-executive Chairman. John Sanders resigned from
his position as Chief Executive Officer, and Wayne Beach as Non-Executive
Director, in order to focus their attention on other business interests. I would
like to express my appreciation to my former board members for their services to
the company. I would also like to welcome Raphael Danon, who has been appointed
Non-executive Director.


I am confident that the Board of Directors we have in place will continue to
work proactively to enhance the position of Niger Uranium as a dynamic force in
the pan-African uranium mining sector.

Lizzie,

If memory serves me well the following were mergers:

Peter Hambro and Aricom 16:1
Aquarius and Ridge 2.75:1

So i do not think a merger has to be of two equal size companies. I guess it is based on the two companies believing that the combined entity better serves their shareholders and the shareholders of the company that is losing their identity/stock market position receiving replacement shares in the new entity.
As i said if this was EML then LMY shareholders may be satisfied with a 9:2 or 4:1 offer. This would value LMY at £6.8m/5.4p per share or £7.6m/6.0p per share. Your not losing out as you get shares in EML which would then hopefully be rerated by the market so you end up getting an even higher price when this occurs.

I would also add that a merger in my opinion will be based on the combined companies being able to develop the LMY assets. Still think it will be EML as Dattels/Mellons are significant shareholders.

OK, there are not any common directorships according to :-



-: and :-



However LMY, from its connections, is clearly in the Dattels camp, and with NWT having a holding of 32.2% ownership of Niger Uranium (lse:URU), I think that NWT would be of interest to LMY.

Market cap of LMY is currently £5.05m, whilst that of NWT is C$20.181m, which is £11.216m, and LMY has said its possible merger partner is a bigger company.

And as I said before, NWT, currently quoted only in Canada, might find a London quote of interest, leading to a somewhat higher share price. So if I am right in all this, and only time will tell, I expect LMY to make an agreed "takeover bid" for NWT, and for the deal to be described as a merger.
