Remains good news and remains on track.......

Mayituobi BLEG Results show Excellent Gold Recovery



O Successful completion of Bulk Leach Extractable Gold tests on all
drill core from the Mayituobi deposit.



O Average leach recoveries were 91.3%, on minus 2mm crushed drill
core, after five days of leaching.



O Leach recoveries were shown to be independent of gold head grade.

Notice of AGM at Moorgate , London 23rd Nov


Main item is resolution 3 , to approve the principles of the Conversion of the Preference share.

Would be interested in others general thoughs on that item. Note the Independant Report for Fairness included in this Notice

Well , read through the very encouraging documentation ; agree clearsoup , this is looking encouraging indeed and concur with those estimates (conservative even , and I didn't think too much before about other the minerals. E.G. 25,000oz/annum silver )

Whilst an idea of costs involved would have been interesting , until feasibility is progressed, the options available can not be clear and could have been seen to be premature.

Fasttrack to Production so then able to fund further large scale drill programmes in this clearly exciting area over a longer period is one option IMO

The Volume that is steadily growing lately (scroll down to look at the last chart and today an exception)is one indicator that people are agreeing with what looks obvious: At less than $30/oz and this scale of resource that is slowly but very surely being moved toward indicated.... this stock is cheap!

All IMO as ever..... sick of hearing my own voice , so thanks guys for thoughts

I did not see mention of capex estimates for the open pit fast track option?..

[clearsoup] 12/10/2007 09:17

U$40-50m pt profit p.a from 2010? What do you reckon?
Mkt cap: U$80m. Sulphides, extensions, Lion and potential not valued. Should cheongg!

MINE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND METALLURGICAL RESULTS...In PDF form from Website

Tianshan Goldfields Mine Development Strategy


RNS Number:5700F
Tianshan Goldfields Ltd
12 October 2007

TIANSHAN GOLDFIELDS LIMITED

MINE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND METALLURGICAL RESULTS

* Successful results from the on-going pre-feasibility studies and
metallurgical test work to date indicate potential to fast track gold
production at the 2.8moz Gold Mountain Project as a low cost gold producer.

* Initial development being considered as a low cost, open pit mining - heap
leach operation, commencing with the Mayituobi and Yelmand deposits
followed by the Jinxi Main deposit.

* A stacking rate of 5 Mtpa is scheduled at Mayituobi and Yelmand over 5-6
years to deliver 80-100koz Au pa. Production from Yelmand is proposed to
include shallow, low strip tonnes from the Balake section of the Jinxi
resource.

* Development of the higher grade sections of Jinxi Main to be considered
once further resource drilling has been completed to gain a complete
understanding of geology, distribution of higher grade mineralisation and
metallurgy.

* Successful and positive results have been received from ongoing
metallurgical test work by Kappes Cassiday & Associates (KCA).

O Mayituobi and Yelmand column leach gold recoveries were 77% and 67%
respectively after 72 days of leaching.

O Gold leach kinetics are rapid (60% being recovered after 10 days
leaching).

O Reagent consumption rates are low.

O Results show no requirement to agglomerate the Gold Mountain ore after
fine crushing.


This goes on much further and I will continue to read on later.....

Mining looks like the business to be in

Here's an interesting factoid from Marius Kloppers, the incoming chief executive of the world's biggest mining finance house, BHP Billiton. The world market for copper is about 17.7 million tonnes a year. The decline in US housing starts thus far recorded will reduce this by just 80,000 tonnes at a time when demand from China and elsewhere in Asia is rising almost exponentially.

Whatever happens to the US economy, then, it is unlikely to have much of an effect on the boom in commodity prices. For the old cyclical pattern in metal prices to reassert itself would require a quite serious downturn in China, which, though inevitable at some stage, wouldn't in any case interfere with the long-term trend. This is virtually certain to be upwards until per-capita consumption of copper and other metals reaches the same level as that of the developed world.

China and other parts of Asia are developing at breathtaking speed, so this secular change in the pattern of demand for base metals and other commodities is likely to be quite compressed compared with similar development stories in the past – European and American industrialisation, post-war reconstruction in Europe and Japan, and so on – which happened more slowly.

Nobody knows how long the process will take, but barring war and pestilence, it's reasonable to assume a 10- to 20-year "super cycle". Obviously there are going to be ups and downs within this cycle depending on the state of the world economy as a whole. But in the scale of things they are unlikely to be significant as long as this huge new source of demand plays catch up. Once the most cyclical of industries, the mining sector is bizarrely coming to be seen as a defensive haven against economic and financial storm. No wonder Mr Kloppers is smiling. Few industries look as well placed for the long run as this one.

Tianshan Goldfields says drilling at Jinxi confirms significant mineralisation

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Tianshan Goldfields Ltd said drilling at its
Jinxi deposit in China confirmed presence of significant mineralisation.
The highest single-metre assay of 28.2 grams a tonne of gold was reported
along the J2D5 segment of the site.

[mr.oz] 27/9/2007 07:22

WELL...All still going tickety boo !!!!


Tianshan Goldfields Ltd
27 September 2007



ADIT RESULTS AT JINXI CONFIRMS SIGNIFICANT MINERALISATION


• Jinxi Adit, re-sampling confirms grade and continuity interpreted from
drilling results.

• Best result returned 28 metres (nominal 20m true width) at 4.3g/t Au across
strike, including 2 metres at 14g/t.

• A maximum value of 28g/t was reported for a single metre on a drive face
parallel to strike of the interpreted mineralised feeder zone.


Tianshan Goldfields Limited ('Tianshan') (ASX/AIM: TGF) is pleased to announce
the results of the adit sampling at Jinxi. This sampling and mapping is a
requirement for the Chinese Geological Report required by the Chinese Ministry
of Land and Resources for recognised resource status, a pre-requisite for the
grant of a Mining Licence.


Adits at Jinxi and Yelmand were excavated during exploration undertaken prior to
2002. The Jinxi adit was re-opened and surveyed along the centre roof-line by
the Xinjiang BGMR Survey Institute. A total of 204 metres of drives were
secured, measured and face-sampled on a one metre basis.


A total of 203 samples of 5kg and 50kg weight each were collected for each metre
along the eleven drive-heading segments of the adit excavation. Geological
mapping was undertaken and confirmed the presence of mineralisation hosted in
variably oxidised, pyritic and silicified hyrdothermal and tectonic breccias.


The 50kg samples, taken from the lower adit wall face by pneumatic jack-hammer
drilling, aggregate 10 tonnes and have been stored in Yining for future
metallurgical test work programmes. Each 5kg sample taken at the same time was
routinely assayed and returned the following results:


Survey Section Distance along drive (m) Au g/t Including (m) Au g/t

J1J4 28 4.3 2 14
J2D5 19 5.5 7 11
D5D6 13 2.7 3 3.7
J3D8 17 5.5 3 13.8

Table 1: Drive segment assays reported at cut-off >1.0 g/t Au.

The 28 metre intersection along drive-segment J1J4 represents a nominal 20m true
width, assuming a northern strike of the mineralised structure or possible
feeder zone. The highest single-metre assay of 28.2g/t Au was reported along
the J2D5 segment of the adit.

Mr SL Allnutt (AusIMM, MAIG), Chief Geologist of Tianshan Goldfields Limited,
compiled the technical aspects of this report relating to the Gold Mountain
Project. Mr Allnutt has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of
mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that
is being reported on to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004
Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore
Reserves. Mr Allnutt consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters in
the form and context in which it appears.

hi hanzo.. cheers for the post. AIM chart looks just as good now.

[hattori_hanzo] 21/9/2007 08:39

Hi mr.oz - I sold the last of my TGF a few weeks ago (as the market started crashing) at 23.5 & 22p, but I just thought I'd pop in and wish you good luck. I'll most likely be buying TGF again one day.

Best Wishes
