\JORC due out today - bloodied shorters faces guaranteed.
No doubt the ASX is going over it with a fine-toothed comb.
It's out -
MEASURED AND INDICATED RESOURCE
30.94 Mt @ 1.24% Cu Eq
(0.80% Cu Eq cut-off) (850 million lbs Cu Eq)
RESOURCE ESTIMATES FOR ROCKLANDS PROJECT USING VARIOUS CU EQ CUT-OFF GRADES
Using 0.25% Cu Eq cut-off
Total Resource 157.0 Mt @ 0.56% Cu Eq (1.93 billion lbs Cu Eq)
Measured and Indicated 101.2 Mt @ 0.62% Cu Eq
Using 0.15% Cu Eq cut-off
Total Resource 245.0 Mt @ 0.42% Cu Eq (2.27 billion lbs Cu Eq)
Measured and Indicated 151.0 Mt @ 0.47% Cu Eq
Also Magnetite resource -
Magnetite Resource
Above a 0.25% CuEq cut-off, an Inferred Resource of 157Mt of magnetite (~Fe3O4) mineralisation with a grade of 2.9% Davis Tube Recovery (“DTR”) has been estimated. DTR represents recovered magnetite from samples in a magnetic recovery assay process. Above a 0.15% CuEq cut-off, the Inferred estimate is 245Mt of magnetite mineralisation at 3.17% DTR. It is planned that magnetite will be recovered in the ore processing plant as a concentrate.
I don't think they have anything. You'd have to start thinking that the bs they have given the market about on going JORC definition is a complete and utter sham. How long has it been since they first produced a target? 4 years? Unbelievable.
its a big resource, but not as big as i was hoping. The market didnt like it, down 35%
Interesting development:
This may not go anywhere, but goes to show we need to be careful with our statements.
... and had it occured to anyone else that the timing of their shutdown of the HC thread was a deliberate attempt to quieten the masses after releasing this new info? I don't own CDU ... comiserations to those who do. All very strange!
The market is expecting an upgrade all right, but whether it will be enough to justify the group's $650 million market capitalisation remains to be seen. A high-grade core of 25 million tonnes grading 2-3 per cent copper and another 100 million tonnes of 1 per cent or less copper is the common expectation.
30.94Mt @ 1.24% Cu Eq

Compare that to the CDU announcement which says
So that's 40% less than what the reported expectations are. Interesting how the stock price has fallen 40%.
Anyone like to put a valuation based on these resource numbers? The market is saying the ~38,500 tonnes of copper is worth $360m, or over $9,000 per tonne (in the grounds no less). Doesn't seem to make sense as copper is only worth ~$7500-8000 per tonne.
Have I got the numbers wrong? Or more share price falls to come?
This is a major event for the Australian markets, IMO, and could be an ominous signal for the end of the mining boom.
The thing to learn here is that those who try to manipulate and control everything for their own ends will usually do extremely well in the short to medium term, but will always come unstuck in the end.
Stock chat forums who try to manipulate and control what people post will come unstuck (I like it here because it's free from nazi moderators hell bent on preventing people saying naughty words).
Companies that try to manipulate and control what happens to their share price will also come unstuck.
I can't see CDU recovering from this very hefty change in sentiment. The ann might be ok but as we know, sentiment tends to overrule fundamentals. I expect further downward jolts to the share price.
Lots of people myself included have been financially hurt by this. Perhaps a class action against CDU might be in order.
Not looking good. Not looking good at all!! Oh well...that's the life of a Hotcopper stock!
