The price rises of rock phosphate have to be worrying farmers. We received a quote by text a couple of weeks ago of $1200 tonne ex Newcastle. Now we thought that was rediculous. That was before the rise above $200/tonne will flow through.
Just my opinion, but I do not think IPL will be able to pass on the same margins as usual. Farmers just can not afford to pay even more than current prices! As I have said before, we would not buy at $1200, let alone higher, which will come.
Some correction is needed. Demand will drop that is for certain.
Still think MAK is a good investment, although I haven't jumped aboard just yet.
Heard Andrew Drummond on ABC Country Hour (radio) last Wednesday chatting about the windfall gain Wonorah would be for NT government as well as people. Jobs, education, services etc.... He was very positive.
Some healthy consolidation going on now IMO, well needed. Went too hard too fast and attracted too many short term traders. Wonarah drill to commence at the start of April should maintain interest. Let's just hope there's a quick turn around in assays and they are along the lines of historic results, or better.
With Rock Phos at over $300tn, and Wonarah opex around $100tn, profit $200tn and likely to produce between 2-3 Mt a year = $400-500m profit. Current MC $150m....Obviously, BIG assumption RP will stay high, and opex low.
I'm disappointed we haven't had news from the fe targets at Franklin after the aeromagnetics. Makes me assume they are poor. Also, the metalurgical test work from Moina is well overdue I think. I was expecting both these results in early March. I think they were due this quarter, so they've got a few days left I suppose.
Technically, I'm looking for a higher low now for some more confidence. Hopefully $1.25 was the bottom, but who knows in this crazy bear environment.
Champ, thanks for the corrections. I was sure I saw something last year that said Moina was due early 08. Obviously missed that in the Jan pres. Just checking and their Dec pres said a resource estimate on Moina was planned for the 1st Qtr 08. Not sure if the delay in the metalergical test work will delay the resource update.Kennas,
According to MAK's company presentation in Jan 08 they state that the metalurgical testwork for Moina will be completed in Mid May so we have a while to wait for that yet.
I think that you are talking about Frankland for the iron ore project aren't you(not Franklin?) They still need to drill the hot spots subject to rig availability.
Cheers!

Grace you are talking about DAP here not the price of rock phosphate which is what MAK will be selling, unless there has been an emormous rise in the last 2 weeks rock phosphate is selling for $350 - $400.
Cheers!

IRT Franklin, I was actually referring to Fraser Iron Ore, which includes West Southdown and Frankland River. Just got the name wrong.My understanding is that they were going to announce the aeromagnetic results and drilling plan when the aeromagnetics had been evaluated and plan devised. I'm expecting that before they start drilling. It was supposed to be done in Jan-Feb, as per their Jan pres.
The other ann should be the Tasmanian Gov aeromagnetics over NE Tassie, over the Castle Carey and TUU area, in search of Uranium targets...
Obviously still waiting on confirmation of Tungstan assays at Storey's Ck, and whether the Wolf Gang are going to proceed to full JV over the MOU.
Still plenty of news to come (hopefully good) to prov support in these bearish times...
Against the trend with IPL up 8% too. Even RWD was up 6%.Can anyone give explaination why MAK was down today even thou the market was up?
Is it just profit takers selling? Or buyers that bought in at the high selling out?
This is still an exploration company. Picking how far it has to run, or whatever, is fraught with danger and only encourages ramping.Hi All,
Bought MAK at $1.54 under two weeks ago at a pullback and it is currently trading at around $2.20. How much do you guys think this has left to run?

Since you bought it at $1.54, what price did you think it was worth, or would be worth in the future?
Yes, and the troughs as well. I looked at it very hard when it corrected back to $1.25 and wanted to top up a few but the credit bear scared me off. Getting harder and harder for new investors to take a punt here, IMO. It's just run so hard....hmmmm, been saying that since 30c.If everyone could pick the peaks then there would be 0% risk

Personally, I have only a limited idea of how to evaluate MAK on their prospective projects. What I can say is that if RP prices stay anywhere over $200/t in the coming few years, then MAK based just on Wonarah, should have a MC a little higher than it's present position, as has been discussed in the thread. How high? Too many factors to assume and best guess IMO.
I initially bought this for it's fe and sn potential.
