I'm going to take a wild guess that they want to get the share price up in order to do a big placement.

It might be interesting to have Canadian charts in the header.

Sithuk with a company lik this it is extremely hard to put a value/model on it.

I think this is an interesting play yet of course comes with high risk!! One I am personally happy to take given the cash balances!

It is good to see cash balances here - something to fall back on.

I've been trying to put a model together for this one and am finding it difficult. Are there any broker notes or educated guesses on extraction or processing costs?

I understand that the ore is to be shipped to a concentrator then the concentrated ore sold. What are the processing cost estimates per tonne?

What % is the ore to be concentrated to and what % of the prevailing metals market price might the concentrated ore reach to an offtake smelting company?

Any best guesses on the seafloor extraction costs per tonne?

I like the proven nature of the individual parts of the business case in a strengthening commodities environment and with strong backers.... but I am reluctant to invest in anything I can't evaluate!

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

[supreme mo] 12/4/2010 12:33

Picked up some more today...

[supreme mo] 09/4/2010 18:56

Bought some of these today... not much stock around - level 2 looks strong

[rohirrim] 30/3/2010 09:22

note the Investors Chronicle has reitterated it's buy recommendation on this one. Interested in anyone elses view as to where this one is heading short term, particularly any technical view re the chart from those that practise the mysterious art.....

[seanyboy] 04/3/2010 14:50

Nice bit of info Mattybuoy - I would imagine NUS would be well ahead of the pack in this type of exploration - which of course should give them a distinct advantage. Nice share to top up on market weakness and stick away for the future. imo

lol- which shows how up to date I stay with this "lock in the bottom drawer" stock ;-)

The environmental permit was fully granted, on 5th Jan ...

[novicedave] 17/1/2010 09:11

I think the reason its so quiet here is that the big-buck moment (i.e. a BFS) is such a long way away- most of the day-to-day interest on the boards is focused on companies which can be (supposedly) expected to deliver within six months.

There's still little in the way of hope-value in the price here, and that's after a threefold increase from the low. I still can't explain why the market valued this at sub-50p (apart from the stupidity of the herd- by which i mean the professional investors): its not like most resources companies where the short-term viability of the project would be questioned by dropping commodities prices, and the recession (in most people's eyes) will have no impact on the global economy 10+ years out when commodity prices will impact NUS.

There's still the risk of them spending the cash and ending up with nothing economic, but imo this has been a great case of the market being stupid and giving us all an opportunity to invest in a company with astounding prospects at a fantastic risk:reward point.

dcomd- the main risk is environmental campaigners, imo. It would be easy to present the NUS mining models as hugely damaging (even though they are not), and I don't know enough about the political situation in Papua New Guinea to be certain that "the final stages of th[e] process" of environmental permitting will be easy ones.

Technologically, as you say, its probably an easier process than deep-water O&G production.

Although I liked the grades, if you look carefully it was the Zinc results that were most impressive (c. 20%). The average copper grades were rather lower (4-5% or worse).

I don't think anybody doubts there is lots of high grade resource in the ocean. The big question is: can they get it to the surface economically using today's technology?

If the answer is Yes, then NUS will become massive. If No, another company will probably succeed in a generation's time. Personally, I suspect it's a lot easier than drilling miles into the ocean floor from a floating oil rig operating in deep water.

Hi Matty. Yes, I can see the diff in the vols traded here v txe, but feel it's a bit of a pity that the level of UK interest in the stock is so low. Plenty of other dual tradeds but mostly appear to have a reasonable following.

I know what you mean about the mug punters but feel this isn't a stock for the daytrader in any case.

Nice to see the recent rises though!

[mattybuoy] 15/1/2010 14:43

The reason the BBs are quiet here is because there is very little volume in London. All the trading happens in Canada, so there is nothing for the mug punter to watch and comment on.

I think it's nice :-)

[fillipe] 15/1/2010 14:19

Amazing the bb silence and also at iii. Huge trading interest yesterday on the TXE and decent share price upticks both UK and CA, but little pi comment.

Yesterday's exploration results are being described as "fantastic"!

This share is so boring!



Nautilus Minerals Inc. (TSX:NUS)(AIM:NUS) (the "Company" or "Nautilus") is pleased to announce the discovery of five high grade Seafloor Massive Sulphide ("SMS") systems, designated Solwara 12, 13, 14, 16, and 18, during its 2009 exploration
campaign. Copper grades up to 32.4% and zinc grades up to 52.6% were reported from grab samples collected from these discoveries using a hand held x-ray fluorescence ("XRF") meter.

[dcomd99] 12/1/2010 08:50

I'm very happy to see the current action. Long may it continue.

[mad jack mcmad] 12/1/2010 07:46

dcomd99, I'm not sure that the price is being held back by much....

A mild woop of "told you so" is allowed

[dcomd99] 05/1/2010 23:29

I think what is holding the price back is the thought that they will need to raise more cash. They have lots of cash, but it's not enough. In these times, cash can demand a big discount.

[mattybuoy] 05/1/2010 22:23

Well based on market reaction to the permit "known" is not the same as certain.

This is still essentially trading at diddly squat. I really don't know if I can stop myself now having held off actually buying the sucker for ages, but the recent strength of copper has surprised me a lot.
