Posted at 20/12/2020 22:07 by johncasey any under valued tin miners out there? |
Posted at 07/8/2014 12:02 by pecker1 Chip/Dave.Substantive positive news at last from Eurotin: 26,000 t of tin at say $30,000 pt is worth US $ 780 million - just a start for a much bigger number if they are right about the resource below 200 metres. Not bad for a market cap of $11 m. |
Posted at 12/6/2014 09:48 by pecker1 Dave,I think they have been trying to do a fund-raising since late 2013 but could never get it off the ground, hence the need for life support, largely from the founder and former CEO, Peter Miller. With the new resource statement, which more than doubles the indicated tonnage at the 0.52% grade, Oropesa now looks a much more economically viable project, particularly if you factor in its location in a mining friendly region in Spain, with superb infrastructure, plentiful power and water supply,and local authorities desperate to attract job generating businesses. So fund-raising soon at a sensible price should not be such an uphill struggle. Many would-be producers now realise the importance of starting on a smaller scale, minimising Cap Ex, and self-financing the bulk of their expansion.The PEA will be an interesting read. And yes, a couple of deep holes that show tin mineralisation at good grades extending well below 200 metres would certainly do wonders for its viability and the share price. |
Posted at 11/6/2014 09:26 by pecker1 Dave,I'd say it is certainly more than half-decent. 70,000 tonnes of contained tin down to a 200 metre depth is a substantial amount compared to other explorers. What I particularly like is the idea of the western end higher grade starter pit and the statement that the bulk of the resource probably lies below 200 metres which is what Peter Miller always suspected - so the 70K t is just for starters. Think this will now attract more than passing attention from some serious players given the dearth of new and potentially economic deposits and the phase out of San Raphael in 2016. At current market prices for tin, they are sitting on about US $1.6 billion of contained metal down to 200 metres and possibly even more than that below - not too bad for a company with a market cap of around CAN $5 million. It's the kind of risk/reward ratio I like. |
Posted at 10/6/2014 23:50 by chipperfrd Hi DD,How nice to hear from you! Yes, I'm afraid the ongoing market forced me to re-evaluate my mining sector portfolio completely. I changed from numerous earnings models to purely searching for existing producers who had the fundamentals to survive the changed market conditions for their products - it reduced the scope of my investments dramatically! However, I have not given up on the metals, just retrenched a bit, and tin remains of high interest to me over the longer term, just not at the top of my priorities right now. I do intend to be back here - but it might take me a little while before I have the heart and motivation to be enthused enough to fully pick up this particular baton! All the best to you. Chip |
Posted at 20/2/2013 17:02 by pecker1 Chip/Dave,Latest press release says they have come up with a new geological model If they can incorporate the high grade drill results in their new geological model to show continuity of higher grade mineralisation it will transform the economics of the Oropesa deposit. Then Eurotin is going to look a steal. The 2016 year slated by Peter Miller for first production coincides with the likely closure of the San Raphael mine which currently produces 10% of global annual tin mine output. |
Posted at 10/10/2012 09:31 by pecker1 Chip,Good to see you back. Yesterday, Eurotin put out their initial resource report that had been delayed for several months. The reason is now obvious:SRK is treating the high-grade sections at Oropesa as isolated one-offs and not as structures that can join together. This has the effect of greatly reducing the tonnage that can be put into the indicated and inferred resource. A pity but understandable from SRK's point of view. What's needed of course is more closely spaced drilling and, hopefully different drill angles in a few places to get more of a 3D effect. Despite all this the first resource comes in at around 50,000 tonnes of contained metal at a 0.1% cut-off ( 28k indicated at a grade of 0.34% and the rest inferred at a grade of 0.26% ) which seems reasonable for an open pit in an established mining region with excellent infrastructure. If you select higher grades, the tonnage falls off as shown in the table. First time I've seen that "a" word in a press release - had to look it up! The release is well worth reading and suggests this resource figure is just the start. Problem of course is that drilling costs money and they will have to do some kind of financing fairly soon. Creativity needed here otherwise existing holders are likely to be diluted significantly. But crazy market cap for a potential major tin project . |
Posted at 13/8/2012 11:13 by doobydave Thanks for the links Chip. The one on tin prices (38) was particularly interesting.Tin prices have been as volatile as any of the base metals over the last 5 years, although the trend has been firmly upward. Although Indonesia is a big tin producer, and might be able to control the price to some extent, according to it only accounts for 20%-ish of worldwide production. Of note, China's production is double Indonesia's. Annoyingly, I can't find any stats on which countries are actually consuming tin, and how much. China is said to be a net importer despite producing almost half the world's supply. Since their production is mainly destined for the West, it's pretty nailed-on that the bottom would drop out of the tin market if the West really hits the economic buffers. If so, we can forget Indonesian politics. |
Posted at 27/10/2011 12:19 by pecker1 Perhaps the picture of the tin man sums up a popular perception towards tin as an investment. But tin has moved on and now more than half of all tin mined is used in the electronics industry where it has largely replaced lead. In my view, it is the dark horse of the base metals, the market is in deficit, there has been no major tin discovery for the last 20+ years, and there seem to be very few explorers around with promising large-scale projects (but I don't know about China).From 1 October, a group of Indonesian producers (fed up with Western hedge funds and others shorting the tin price to oblivion) imposed an export ban on tin which they will not remove until the tin price exceeds $23,000t.Since then the price has recovered from below $17,000 to over $21,000 and LME stockpiles have fallen from around 22,500t to 16,500t. This is significant because the decline in the stockpiles will soon reach a point where industrial end-users will panic buy to secure supplies. And the fact that the Indonesian producers have acted together like this - and could do so again in the future - will put a premium on any new source of tin outside of their control. A week ago or so, I posted about tin on Chip's base metal thread but I think the two companies I mentioned are not eligible for inclusion in his list. These are: 1. Kasbah resources, listed on the ASX, with a project in Morocco. 2. Eurotin Inc, listed on the TSX, which has both hard rock and an alluvial projects in Spain And a third I found in the October issue of Resource Stocks, pages 74-75, 3. Consolidated Tin Mines, listed on the ASX, with projects in the Herberton district in Queensland. The market caps of all three are puny and their share prices have been hit like many other small mining companies. As they are quoted on recognised exchanges, they can be put into an ISA. Having loaded up on copper producers like WTI and FM, I wanted to diversify a bit. I have already taken a position in Eurotin, so I'm biassed, but I think their two main projects could be very interesting and their informative website is a cut above the rest. I think there is also an OZ miner/explorer in Tasmania which I will add to the list. If anybody else thinks tin has potential and knows of other companies with interesting projects, please could they post them up here. |
