29/3/2016 19:41 | Hmmm not the first time we have had a problem with a project. Us old dinosuers that have been here from the beginning will remember this. RNS Number:8492Z Tertiary Minerals PLC 09 July 2007 www.tertiaryminerals 9 July 2007 TERTIARY LIFTS SHARE SUSPENSION AND PROVIDES UPDATE ON GHURAYYAH LICENCE PROGRESS * New Exploration Licence Application Being Processed in Saudi Arabia * JV Agreement Amended To Accelerate Saudi Partners' Financial Contributions * Niobium Now Major Metal Of Value After Threefold Price Rise Since Suspension * New Local Joint Venture Operating Vehicle To Be Set Up Tertiary Minerals plc ("Tertiary" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the immediate lifting of the voluntary suspension of its shares from trading on AIM and provide an update on its Ghurayyah tantalum-niobium project in Saudi Arabia in respect of issues relating to the renewal of its exploration licence. The Company has agreed a course of action with its Saudi joint venture partners and with the Deputy Ministry for Mineral Resources in Saudi Arabia ("DMMR", the administrative authority overseeing mineral licences in Saudi Arabia) which the Company now expects will result in the issue of a new exploration licence over the Ghurayyah tantalum and niobium deposit in NW Saudi Arabia and ultimately in the issue of a mining licence. Tertiary has applied, together with its two Saudi joint venture partners, and on the recommendation of the DMMR, for a new 5-year renewable exploration licence for a 47 km2 area covering the Ghurayyah deposit and the surrounding area. This licence application is in the joint names of: Tertiary (Middle East) Ltd - a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (50%); AH Algosaibi Bros Co (25%); Al Nahla Trading & Contracting Co (25%). The Mining Code provides that the holder of an exploration licence is entitled to apply for a mining licence over any commercially exploitable deposit. The application is being processed by the DMMR, but the licence has not yet been issued. The licence application covers tantalum and niobium, the main metals of economic interest at Ghurayyah, and associated non-radioactive minerals. It does not include uranium as the Saudi Government does not wish to license that material for production at the present time. The Company's previous economic evaluations of the deposit have considered revenue from tantalum, niobium and zircon only. The Company believes that the new Ghurayyah exploration licence will be issued in due course, although the terms and conditions it may contain relating to the processing of radioactive minerals are as yet unclear. In order to strengthen the relationship between the Company and its investment partners the existing joint venture agreement between Tertiary and its Saudi partners has also been amended by a Deed of Variation which speeds up the remaining US$5m funding of the current feasibility studies at Ghurayyah. The two Saudi joint venture partners will accelerate their future earn-in contributions to the project and, together with Tertiary, form a local (Saudi) joint venture operating vehicle. The Deed of Variation recognises that, notwithstanding the registered interests in any new licences when granted, the beneficial interests in such licences will be held from time to time according to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement - Currently the Company holds the 100% beneficial interest until such time as the future earning obligations of the partners are met in full. "Work on the project feasibility studies, outside of Saudi Arabia, has continued steadily throughout the suspension period and we hope to issue a progress report shortly. Whilst the suspension has been a period of unwelcome uncertainty for shareholders, I am pleased that our licence application is being progressed and that we have advanced the relationship with our Saudi joint venture partners." comments Company Chairman Patrick Cheetham. Tantalum/Niobium Markets/Prices In previous economic evaluations at Ghurayyah, tantalum and niobium revenues have been approximately equal. However, niobium is currently the main metal of value as its trading price has increased more than three-fold in the past six months. Tantalum prices are also starting to increase after a period of consolidation. Background Ghurayyah Project The Ghurayyah deposit is located in the north west part of Saudi Arabia near the city of Tabuk. It is some 50km from the Red Sea coast and is accessible by vehicle, being approximately 15km from a major highway. Ghurayyah is a world-class deposit containing valuable tantalum, niobium, zirconium and yttrium with a last estimated Inferred Mineral Resource of nearly 400 million tonnes grading 245 grammes/tonne (0.024%) tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5), 2,840 grammes/tonne (0.28%) niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5), 8,915 grammes/ tonne (0.89%) zirconium oxide (ZrO2), and 1,270 grammes/tonne (0.13%) yttrium oxide (Y2O3). Tantalum is used in capacitors in the electronics industry and niobium in stainless steel alloys. Zircon and Yttrium are used in the ceramics and electronics industries. The deposit is a circular plug of granite nearly 1 kilometre wide that is uniformly mineralised throughout. It outcrops in five hills above the surrounding dried up river bed and continues to an average depth of 250m below surface. Mineralisation is open to expansion at depth. A detailed economic and technical scoping study suggests the deposit has commercial potential as a future source of supply of tantalum, niobium and other non-radioactive raw materials and at an extraction rate of 1.5 million tonnes/ year would have a mine life of over 200 years. A preliminary feasibility study is in progress. Details of the markets for the metals of interest at Ghurayyah are given in the Company's 2006 Annual Report which can be found at hxxp:// www.tertiaryminerals Suspension The Company's original exploration licence at Ghurayyah was granted in January 2002 for an initial term of five years renewable for a further period of up to 4 years. This licence covered tantalum, niobium, zircon, uranium, tin, rare-earths and associated minerals. The original Ghurayyah Exploration Licence was granted under the then current mining code (law) ("the Old Code") which was replaced in January 2005 with a new updated mining code ("the New Code") which recognised and contains transitional provisions relating to licences granted under the Old Code. In December 2006 the Company applied for a renewal of its exploration licence under the terms of its issue under the Old Code and the transitional provisions of the New Code. In December 2006 it also applied for a new Mining Licence under the New Code. The decision to voluntarily suspend the Company's shares in January this year was made immediately following notification from DMMR that the Company's applications for a renewal of its Exploration Licence and for a Mining Lease over the Ghurayyah deposit in Saudi Arabia have been rejected due to alleged non-compliance with the technicalities of the conditions of application and renewal. The Company believed and continues to believe, that it has fulfilled its obligations under the terms of its Exploration Licence and that it was entitled to a renewal under its terms of issue and that the licence also grants the right to obtain a Mining Lease. However, following discussions with its Saudi investment partners the Company elected to seek a mutually acceptable solution with DMMR to retain its interest in Ghurayyah. Consequently, and acting on recommendations from DMMR, the Company and its investment partners submitted the joint application referred to above in February 2007 with supplementary submissions being made since then.

29/3/2016 18:27 | Ray164 - I hope your positivity comes to fruition over the next day or so as you put it. I totally agree that an appeal from these sources was always going to happen. | nigthepig | |
29/3/2016 17:30 | Why this has dropped because of an appeal by an environmental campaigning group (Urbergsgruppen) who oppose all mining projects in Sweden and the sami reindeer herders who opposed it in the first place (in other words "the usual suspects") beats me. The objection from the environmental group will carry less weight because opposition to all mining development is their default position, and the reindeer herders will already have made their case in opposing the exploitation permit. Unless either of these groups can come up with compelling new evidence why the mining should not go ahead I see it as very likely that the original decision to grant the permit wil be confirmed; especially as the project has the support of all major stakeholders except the Sami. Seems to me that the MM's got a bit over enthusiastic in marking this down so quickly. I expect the share price to rise back towards its previous trading level over the next day or so. | ray164 | |
29/3/2016 15:08 | Oh well back down we go on the back of the appeals against the storuman project. | nigthepig | |
29/3/2016 11:19 | Agree they are an explorer not a miner.. they will sell the project on ticking enough boxes for a willing buyer. how long that takes! hands up anybody!!! | wisteria2 | |
28/3/2016 08:25 | wise up? mogwhy is most likely right. TYM have no chance of bringing a mine into production on their own. There doesn't appear to be any queue forming of potential partners eager to help them. If they DO manaage to entice some company into a JV then they can expect to pay expensively for the pleasure. They don't have the cash and so a massive share issue to allocate a sizable chunk of TYM to the new partner would seem like their only option. Hence the dilution for existing shareholders. And add the possibility of a share consolidation to that! | benchmark | |
27/3/2016 21:30 | All in my opinion based on limited research and guesswork ! wise up. | casablanca4 | |
27/3/2016 13:20 | Storuman needs $46m capex, but I can't see any potential partner stumping up that sort of cash with the current JORC resource. All the resource is defined as inferred or indicated. They currently have zero measured JORC resource. A bankable feasabilty study would almost certainly be required to access that size of capex, and that would require having a measured JORC resource. So, any potential partner would insist on a BFS, which they would pay for in return for a chunk of the company. But how big a chunk? 50%, 75% ? So there appears to be a lot of potential dilution ahead before we get anywhere near a revenue stream. I think you'll be lucky to end up with 25% of the company from here. All in my opinion based on limited research and guesswork ! | mogwhy | |
23/3/2016 21:10 | it rolled on against the market | edjge2 | |
18/3/2016 22:15 | thanks andrbea | edjge2 | |
18/3/2016 21:11 | Get into the mine and get the bloody stuff out. Roll on share price. GLA | casablanca4 | |
18/3/2016 19:41 | just need another 600% FOR BREAKEVEN!!! Undoubtedly the directors won't need anywhere near that kind of rise since they just keep re-issuing themselves share options as the stock tumbles ensuring they are always near guaranteed a windfall | a.fewbob | |
18/3/2016 17:09 | (2118) for tantalum, kenv, maybe ika too | andrbea | |
18/3/2016 17:06 | More finger crossing Nig but dare I say it? Its looking a little more positive my friend. Have a great weekend Dessie | desert orchid | |
18/3/2016 15:30 | Mmmm. Will this rise hold and continue. Previous history isn't very positive but........... | nigthepig | |
17/3/2016 19:40 | Reason I asked about tantalum as it is capacitor fodder. Cars, robots using batteries seems weird as capacitors charge fast and discharge faster, immediate full power. Suspect a large array of micro high power capacitors would charge faster on an inductive electric road, be lighter and can be spread in the design. Cannot find any LSE company developing this but someone must be. Sightings of silent small cars moving at speed but not colliding on 'The Plains' in Norwich have been reported by many, maybe a preview of the future | edjge2 | |
17/3/2016 12:25 | The Storuman fluorspar story is getting international coverage too. This was in Creamers Mining Weekly. Picked up off the TYM PR firm website hxxp://www.branduk.n | kenwrong | |
16/3/2016 10:24 | I have given up hope on these. I do not look at their web site. I`m surprised they even have one. Just hoping that one day something might happen and I can sell at a profit. | tyranosaurus | |
15/3/2016 20:16 | Patrick Cheetham should go and get a proper job and stop suckling off our tit. | a.fewbob | |
15/3/2016 15:09 | Tyran have you read what it says on their web page re Saudi? I think its been the same for the last 10yrs. It would be nice if they could clarify whats going on after all these years. Dessie | desert orchid | |
15/3/2016 15:05 | After all the years I have been here I pretty much gave up on them and on doing any research into them. For some strange reason over the weekend I had a fresh look at them and I have to say I liked what I saw.I have definitely given up buying anymore but in my opinion this looks like it might just start to move. Could be worth a gamble at these prices. Dessie | desert orchid |
