Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

I was told by the admin that there will be no futher drilling at Pardoo East in the near future and they will be focusing on Balla Yule and Batten Creek for the next targets for drilling. As to when this will be I have no idea but would suspect it not to be prolonged.

Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Cheers for that. Hope it's not too long a wait on getting the results. They were rather quick on coming back with the results from East Pardoo. I have held BMY over a year now & just waiting on a decent announcement.
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Now wasn't Pardoo meant to be the mother load, better than Atlas and BHP tenaments? Hope those that believed this story didn't have to much invested in Brumby.

That's what I was counting on..... the story sounded reasonable - hence the disbelief expressed by many here when the hole turned up w/o io. BMY certainly sounded confident that they had something, I wonder if they';ve uncurled from the foetal position yet, hopefully they'll pull their thumbs out soon and give us something to cheer about.

Can any geo's shed some light on what might have caused the anomaly in the first place - surely the industry should be better at interpreting the signatures of different types of ore?

Doogie - you mentioned that relying on a gravity survey is risky - should be following up with magnetic to confirm - what could the gravity survey picked up instead of io?
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Looks like we could be back in business with next potential drilling update giving us a push up... Shame I dumped a heap earlier with fears of low low lows... ANyway sitting on alot of options lets hope for some good results.. if its the same as the last one I am going to try and get Neverfail on board ..
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

The wild horses are getting a bit restless. Some interest today in volume & buyers lining up. Some good news perhaps or just random speculation. My guess with the sudden interest there could some news not far away. What do holders of BMY think of this?
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources


I'm just hoping for anything after the debacle of Pardoo East!! There'd better be some Mn in the ground in NT or I'm ..........
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources


Mmmm - this went from one of my dead cert's to one of my risky ones - and I'm not all that happy with my average cost given the change in risk.

I'm with Jono - would prefer Mn to more H2O..........
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Yes hopefully a better result than the last one. How does that saying go... You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink? Well they certainly found the water last time maybe they can find something a bit more valuable this time!
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Still hopeful this one will make me rich and happy

So many high impact projects

May not be a sleeping giant, perhaps a blinded cyclopes? :

Manganese is hot to trot and their grounds near OMH's Bouto Creek should draw a bit of attention
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Likewise YT. Some good volume today, a nice hike in the sp and on the brink of busting out on the anticipated announcment which must be any day now. Let's hope they hit good grades of Mn and not H20 this time :
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Hope your optimism pays off for you guys. I'm afraid I'm out today, took a gamble on their announcement on Pardoo and we know how that turned out. So I'm happy to break even and move onto something else.
Good luck all

FIRST PASS DRILLING COMPLETED AT BATTEN CREEK MANGANESE PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT 19 AUGUST 2009•

Drilling at Brumby’s Batten Creek Manganese Project was completed on 13 August 2009 with 17 holes drilled for 1267m.

• Numerous visual manganese intersections were obtained over the
two VTEM targets tested - BCMN-01 and BCMN-04.

• Analytical results of the visual manganese intersections are
expected in approximately four weeks.

Diversified exploration company Brumby Resources Limited (Brumby) (ASX: BMY) is
pleased to announce that it has completed its first pass vertical Reverse Circulation
(RC) drilling programme at its Batten Creek Manganese Project.

The Batten Creek Manganese Project is located within the Gulf of Carpentaria region
approximately 660 kilometres south east of Darwin, Northern Territory. Locally the
Project is 205 kilometres south of the world class Groote Eylandt manganese project
(147Mt@47% Mn) and 70 kilometres north of Xstrata’s operating McArthur River zinc
lead silver (ZnPbAg) mine.

The Batten Creek Manganese Project is situated within the south eastern section of
granted exploration licence EL25467, encompassing an area of approximately 650
square kilometres. (Refer to Figure 1).

The first pass drilling programme was designed to test the two largest previously
defined Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic (VTEM) survey conductors BCMN-
01 (400m long x 300m wide) and BCMN-04 (4000m long x 1000m wide). (Refer to
Figure 2).

Drilling commenced on 1 August 2009 and was completed on 13 August 2009 with
17 holes drilled for 1267m.

Brumby geologists have recorded numerous visual manganese intersections whilst
logging the 17 drill holes. Analytical and petrological work will be required to establish
the grade of the visual manganese intercepts and the type of manganese minerals
present. Analytical results of the selected visual manganese intercepts are expected
in about four weeks.

Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Very positive - not even a mention of H2O and pastoralists!!


Sounds promising. Giddiup pony. I don't know much about Manganese - I was in it for the IO (good ol' simple steel, I know what that is). Anyone care to share their knowledge of Mn and the different types of mineralistion that occur. At any rate whenever a mineral is visible in the ore I take that to be a good indicator.
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources


Hmm, don't know much about Mn but the fact that BMY have trotted out the line about being 200km south of Groote Eylandts big Mn mine which has 47%Mn I would imagine that any Mn grade worth it's salt would have to be visible!!

Still, it is reassuring that they didn't just drill one hole then pack up and go home
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

That thought did cross my mind Jono, looks like everyone is waiting to see what the actual analysis shows - absolutely no reaction either way to todays announcement.... but the expectation of hitting something was probably built in over the last week.
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

Manganese 101
Manganese is very important in the steel industry, where it is used as a deoxidizing and desulfurizing agent; no substitute has been found. It is also used in large amounts to toughen and harden steel without making it brittle; it is usually added as ferromanganese. Any steel having between 10% and 15% manganese is known as manganese steel, although almost all steel contains some manganese. Manganese is widely used in making alloys. Manganese bronze and manganese brass are alloys containing manganese, copper, tin, zinc, and small amounts of other metals in varying proportions. Certain alloys containing manganese, aluminum, antimony, and small amounts of copper are highly magnetic.
 
Re: BMY - Brumby Resources

OMH and CSM are the 2 big boys in Manganese in Australia

Hence why BMY's drilling at Bootu Creek near OMH's operations will be very very interesting
