I must be adding this up wrong.What's 14% of 2b x $200?
Sounds like a lot of IGV to me.
Capt, you could pump any fundamentals you like into a model all based on assumptions and you could get any valuation you like from 40 cents to $27 (as I saw on HC, LOLI am still holding on
Has anyone had the time to do the Figures yet?
Or is it that Fundamental Analysis has lost its edge again
Salute and Gods' speed
Yes, depends on a few things doesn ´t it. Much of it on the price of the commods it ´s trying to develop. You are right about news, more needs to get out or it may languish. If Rock Phos starts heading south, then this might be dramatically sold off. If it keeps going up then MAK could be even more significantly rerated. Next should be the EM survey from WS. With the previous results in, you ´d expect some pretty good targets. Need to find some drill rigs then. Takeover, I don ´t think so, but large farm in-JV will be needed to take these things to production. MAK may have to give up quite a bit of the projects to get them on board. Hopefully those Asia interests come to fruition.So what does the future hold for MAK? Languishing back to the shadows of its former self around the 20 cent mark? Or consolidation then onward and upwards?
Personally, I can see MAK getting pretty low, around the 40 cent mark. This is obviously as a result of the traders. They will need to start pumping out announcements about other prospects and what they plan to do with the phospate to keep investors serious about MAK. They have potential, but they need to fully exploit it and keep the market informed.
How quickly do people think MAK can get the goods out of the ground? Fast enough to help impact on the SP?
Also, will insto's be buying in? T/O possibly?
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
MOINA FLUORSPAR-TUNGSTEN-TIN BASE METALS PROJECT UPDATE
13 December 2007
Increased international interest in Minemakers’ Moina project in northern Tasmania due to significant fluorspar price rises caused by Chinese mining export cut-backs.
In-fill assaying is in progress with the objective of a new and JORC-compliant interim resource estimate being commissioned in the first quarter 2008 without any further drilling.
Detailed metallurgical testwork is underway in Europe, aimed at assessment of recovery of multiple commodities.
As far as further boosts to MAK, this one is sure to provide some interest.
It's worth reading the rest of the ann for the discussion on Flourospar.
Apologies that this is outdated but I don't think it was raised in the thread previously. I have not included this in MAK's top 3 projects because I don't know much about flourospar and just glanced over it. As I almost did with the Rock Phos....
So, now we may have WS EM survey results come in, Tin JV update, JORC and possible ann of JV/Farm In at Moina, and in a couple of months drilling at TC. Lots of news to come.
Let's hope the traders have now left MAK and the MC can find it's feet....
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
RE-ASSAYING IMPROVES TUNGSTEN OUTLOOK IN TASMANIA
16 January 2008
HIGHLIGHTS
Re-assaying by different techniques has confirmed that the previously reported tungsten grades from Minemakers’ drilling at Storey’s Creek were erroneously low.
Further re-sampling has been initiated on the drill samples obtained from both Storey’s Creek and Aberfoyle so as to derive an accurate understanding of the grades of mineralization intersected by our 2007 drilling programmes.
Minemakers undertook Stage 1 RC drilling programmes in 2007 at the historic Storey’s Creek and Aberfoyle tungsten and tin mines in north eastern Tasmania. Results were released on 21 June 2007 and 24 October 2007 and, in those reports, doubts were expressed concerning the accuracy of at least the tungsten assays which were at odds with historic production.
Minemakers is pleased to report that results have been obtained from a trial re-sampling programme from the Storey’s Creek programme. ICP and fusion XRF assaying techniques have both indicated that the grade was about 30% higher than was previously obtained from powder XRF assaying. In consequence, an ICP and fusion XRF re-assaying programme for several holes from both Storey’s Creek and Aberfoyle has been initiated for tungsten, tin and base metals.
Depending on the results, Minemakers may then re-assay all other holes from those drilling programmes so as to derive an accurate assay picture to date and to enable planning for further resource investigations.
Managing Director, Andrew Drummond stated:
“When we drilled Storey’s Creek, which was a major old tungsten mine with byproduct tin, and the drill samples returned more tin than tungsten, we knew something was not in order. The new assays are getting us back on the track of a proper appraisal of this great old mining field and I look forward to the next round of assays.”
Unfortunately there's some rediculous pump and dumping going on at HC which is causing some severe volatility. Part of the game I suppose, but a note to new investors and traders of what can happen on greed and fear. Times like these I wish I didn't watch the screen all day....I'm an emotional beast too...Chart wise, looks like the sloppy pole and pennant may be confirmed which gives, on the surface of it, an unrealistic price target to me. It may be jumping too fast for my liking. Slow and steady wins the race...
Quarterly will be out this week as I understand it with an update on the Flourite (poly) project in Tassie. The company is targetting 50Mt at whatever grades....Chart wise, looks like the sloppy pole and pennant may be confirmed which gives, on the surface of it, an unrealistic price target to me.

Qtly out with what looks to be all posative stuff, but no great update on Moina.Quarterly will be out this week as I understand it with an update on the Flourite (poly) project in Tassie. The company is targetting 50Mt at whatever grades....with IGV of $3b. (from the company website)
HIGHLIGHTS
WONARAH PHOSPHATE PROJECT
The rocketing price of rock phosphate now provides potential for evelopment of a major and profitable mine. Work programmes leading to feasibility have been initiated.
MOINA FLUORSPAR AND POLYMETALLICS PROJECT
Detailed metallurgical investigations of Australia’s largest fluorspar deposit are
under way. The world fluorspar price has recently increased from US$130 to
US$315 per tonne.
TASMANIAN TIN AND TUNGSTEN
Recent tungsten re-assaying has increased grades, as anticipated at the Storey’s Creek Project. Further re-assaying is underway.
WEST SOUTHDOWN MAGNETITE
Detailed aeromagnetic survey was flown and is currently being interpreted to
provide priority targets for the next drill programme.
URANIUM
Castle Carey stratigraphic target returned encouraging first drill results. New
targets have been generated by field surveys and more are expected from
current assessment of the recently acquired government regional radiometric
airborne survey.
PLANNED WORK PROGRAMMES FOR THE MARCH QUARTER
Minemakers currently plans to complete the following tasks in the March Quarter.
WONARAH
• Initiation of studies leading to feasibility.
• Metallurgical testwork.
• Commencement of drill-out of the Main Zone resource and testing of the outcropping
Aruwurra Prospect, which is characterised by relatively high grades.
MOINA
• Completion of Stage 1 metallurgical assessment.
• Infill assaying of all available drill core to provide the basis of new resource
estimates.
TASMANIA TIN AND TUNGSTEN
• Resolution of tungsten assay problem.
• Investigation of associated mineralization at Storey’s Creek and Aberfoyle, Royal
George and Anchor by multi-element assaying.
IRON
• Target definition after interpretation of recently acquired aeromagnetics.
• Drilling of “hot-spot” targets, subject to confirmation of drilling contractor availability.
URANIUM
• Interpretation of recently acquired Tasmanian airborne radiometrics.
• Ground follow-up of anomalies.
MOINA FLUORSPAR, MAGNETITE, TUNGSTEN, TIN AND BASE METALS
DEPOSIT, TASMANIA
OPTION TO ACQUIRE AN INITIAL 80% EQUITY.
On 13 December 2007, Minemakers announced that the price of fluorspar delivered
to a North European port had increased to US$230/t from the US$130/t of a year
earlier. Driven by further cutbacks in export availability from China, the world’s
largest producer, January prices are understood to have risen quickly to US$315/t.
Moina is by far Australia’s largest known fluorspar deposit and, based on historic
drilling, mineralization potential for an open cut operation of the 50-60Mt range is
considered possible by Minemakers. At a 3 Mtpa processing rate, Moina could be a
fluorspar and tungsten producer of world status.
