Cape Lambert Iron Ore has won the bid for CopperCo's assets in a process conducted by CopperCo receivers and managers Gary Doran and David Lombe of Deloitte. The move represents another purchase in a colourful nine months of spending at Cape Lambert, where chairman Tony Sage has been under pressure to distribute what the company has to stave off various corporate raiders.

Pre-feasibility study thumbs up for Tianshan's Gold Mountain Project in China

[clearsoup] 19/2/2009 10:51

I'm amazed it's still like Ant and Bee on this board. I continue to accumulate. Today's ENK news is very positive: a seriously progressive project financing package, driven by a Chinese main contractor, and to be syndicated in China - for a Nickel project! Do you think they might find the money for a fast payback gold project? Cheunggggg!

Good for AGP. TGF is looking better and better, relative to other gold miners.

If he's paying face value for the debt, there must be some equity in the group. Does anyone know anything about Mr. Sage, or Cape Lambert?

[mr.oz] 09/2/2009 22:32

Cape Lambert chairman Tony Sage has acquired the secured debt of collapsed miner CopperCo for $72.7 million in an unusual deal that could net his company a multi-million-dollar return on its investment within three months.

HIGHLIGHTS

2.6moz Gold Mountain Project, NW China (90%)



Development

• Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS) continuing and targeted for completion in Q1 2009.

• Key parameters reviewed to date include resource estimation, metallurgy and process, pit optimisation, mine scheduling and capital and operating costs.

• Metallurgical test work to be included in the Chinese Mining Licence Application now required to be performed at Chinese-approved laboratories due to recent regulatory changes. This has resulted in a slight extension to the application process which will now be completed by H2 2009.

• Successful Yili-Kazahk Prefecture Task Force plenary meeting held on December 10th with all key government support staff now fully informed of Project status and requirements for development.

Exploration

• Significant intersections received from drilling to test resource extensions at the Jinxi, Yelmand and Balake deposits including 72m @ 1.75g/t Au incl. 58m @ 2.08g/t Au at Yelmand and 48m @ 2.08g/t Au at Balake.

• A further 1,450 metres of near-resource evaluation and regional target drilling completed in the reporting Quarter.

• Mineralisation confirmed to the south east of the Yelmand deposit and south west of Balake: further work to be considered once the economics of this intersection are fully evaluated in light of pending pit optimisation studies being undertaken as part of the PFS.

• A further 3,600 rock chip samples collected in the reporting Quarter at targets on the Gold Mountain, Talede and Nalensayi tenements.



Corporate

• TGF acquires a 60% interest in the highly prospective Qixia Gold Project, located in the highly sought-after Shandong Province in China, for AUD$2.27 million.

• TGF receives notice that substantial shareholder CopperCo Limited enters voluntary administration.

• AUD $12.639m in cash as at 31 December 2008.

• Market capitalisation of AUD $19m as at 23 January 2009.

I was thinking along the lines of the latter point too. Something cooking perhaps.

[clearsoup] 15/1/2009 14:26

Liddell was obviously conflicted, but Thomas's resignation while "currently conducting a strategic review of its projects and corporate strategy" could suggest some kind of bust-up in the pavilion. I don't feel I have any insight, though.
Bontempo has been the spokesman for a while, hasn't he? Isooth, the amount of misinformation that the MinSec boys have succeeded in getting fairly seasoned City pros to swallow, is impressive enough to have put me off trying to dig much, for fear of being fooled again.
Am I naive in thinking the pick-and-shovel side of TGF, including its geologists and their assessments is solid, however cleverly the corporate finance wizards at MinSec might tart things up with financial engineering?
The board changes could signal action on a sale of CUO's interest: one would expect something soon.

Tianshan announces key board and management changes
Thursday , 15 Jan 2009

Tianshan Goldfields Limited ("Tianshan" or "the Company") today announced several key changes to its Board and senior management team.

Mr Keith Liddell has tendered his resignation as Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Company, effective from 15th January 2009, in order to focus on other commitments.

Mr Liddell was instrumental in securing Tianshan's initial investment in its flagship asset, the 90%-owned Gold Mountain Project in China, in 2003. Since then, he has provided a wealth of invaluable metallurgical and project development expertise to the Company and has been closely involved in all aspects of Gold Mountain development to date.

Mr Grant Thomas has also tendered his resignation as Managing Director, effective immediately. Mr Thomas was the original exploration geologist and General Manger of the Xinjiang Gold Mountain JV and lead the exploration team that discovered the Gold Mountain deposits which has completed over 90,000 metres of exploration drilling to define the current 2.64 million ounce JORC Code Compliant gold resource at Gold Mountain. Subsequently Mr Thomas has lead the resource evaluation and feasibility study teams on the Gold Mountain project.

The Board would like to record its sincere appreciation to both Mr Liddell and Mr Thomas for their significant contribution to the establishment and development of the Company.

Tianshan is pleased to advise that Mr David Evans, who has been a Non-Executive Director of Tianshan since 2005, will assume the role of Non-Executive Chairman. Mr Evans has over 30 years experience in operational and project development in the resource industry, and is also the current Non-Executive Chairman of Mano River Resources Inc and was previously an Executive Director of Aquarius Platinum Limited and Managing Director of Kroondal Platinum Mines.

Mr Jason Bontempo, who has held the position of Chief Financial Officer with Tianshan for the past three years, has been appointed as Interim Managing Director.
Mr Bontempo is a Chartered Accountant who, prior to joining Tianshan, worked in investment banking and corporate advisory positions after initially commencing his professional career with Ernst & Young in 1997.

Notwithstanding the current challenging market environment, Tianshan remains well placed with a high quality development and exploration asset base in China, cash reserves of approximately $11 million and no debt.

The Company expects to announce results from the Pre-Feasibility Study on its Gold Mountain Project in China in the next month and is currently conducting a strategic review of its projects and corporate strategy with a view to maximizing shareholder value.

Yours faithfully

Jason Bontempo
Interim Managing Director

Tianshan Goldfields (ASX:TGF) has announced final results from the program of near-resource drilling undertaken during 2008 at the Company's 90%-owned 2.6moz Gold Mountain Project in northwest China.

The program returned "encouraging drill intercepts at depth on the southern margins of the Yelmand and Balake deposits."

The results have reinforced the potential for extensions to the existing resource base at Gold Mountain. The Gold Mountain Project currently comprises Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources totalling 94.8 million tonnes at 0.9g/t gold for 2.64 million ounces.

In November 2008, Anglo Pacific Group (ASX:AGP; LSE:APF) increased its shareholding in Tianshan Goldfields (ASX:TGF) from 7.9% to 10.1%.
