CBH Resources Limited has reached an agreement in principle which subject successful negotiation of detailed joint venture arrangements and final CBH Board approval will see the company become a joint venture partner with WRF Securities Ltd in the Constance Range Iron Ore Project.
It is proposed that, CBH will earn an initial 30% interest in the joint venture by paying $1 million in CBH shares plus $200,000 in cash and by completing the project prefeasibility study over a period of two years at an expected cost of $2 million.
The cash would be paid on the signing of a joint venture agreement, with the shares to be issued once CBH is registered on the title of the exploration licence relating to the Project.
In addition, CBH may elect to earn an additional 20% equity in the joint venture by completing a bankable feasibility study. The anticipated budget for this study has been estimated at $5 million.
The Project is located approximately 40km from the world-class Century Zinc mine in far north Queensland. The Project area was extensively explored by BHP between 1956 and 1963, with work completed including over 200 drill holes, the sinking of two exploration shafts, underground mining trials and bulk sample extraction for beneficiation test work.
BHP identified significant sedimentary hematite mineralisation at Mt Constance and reported a pre-JORC resource of 245 million tonnes grading 51.3% iron (Fe) and 9.4% silica (SiO2) for one of three deposits outlined (This resource does not comply with current ASX reporting rules for ore reserves and resources, as a proportion of the drill core is not available and survey data requires clarification). The iron horizons range from 2 to 8 metres in thickness as gently dipping beds and are present over a strike length of more than 30 kilometres within the WRF exploration licence.
The Constance Range iron deposits have the characteristics to support a large scale pellet plant for production of direct feed to both blast furnace steel plants and DRI (direct reduction iron) plants. The largest current producer in the pellet market is CVRD of Brazil which also bases its pellet production on hematitic ore that are similar in grade to the Constance Range deposits. The pellet market is growing in importance in the world iron ore trade.

Pairs trading is a useful technique for investors in contracts for difference (CFDs) when the sharemarket is volatile. Man Financial's Richard Avery-Wright says it works because it is based on the relationship between two stocks rather than market trends. It can be applied where there is an historical pattern: one share outstrips another, then the other share catches up. The idea is to take a long position in the stock that catches up and short sell the other. In May 2006, Avery-Wright says Zinifex and BHP Billiton provided a "classic" example of this type of behaviour

Thats excellent, as if they so wish they can use a higher milling/output rate, ie currently they intend to use a 1.25Mt p.a. mill, but there is nothing stopping them from using a 2Mtp.a mill and so on as unlike underground operations, open cut are muc more simple,
Anyway 10Mt @ 3.5% Zn + 1.4% Cu
At a mining rate of 1.25 Mt p.a. = 43,750 t's Zn + 17,500 t's p.a. Cu
Now this Qtrly will be very important in showing how far recovery at Endeavour has come along, hopefully will be back above 250kt of Ore for the Qtr,
Once Endeavour gets back to its 1M t p.a. - 1.4 Mt p.a. operation = 87,000t's - 120,000t's Zinc p.a.
