High Grade Drilling Results on Merlin Project.
Near-Surface Zone of Almost Pure Molybdenite Intersected.
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – Peter Reeve, Chief Executive Officer of Ivanhoe Australia (IAL-ASX) and Robert Friedland, Chairman of IAL, are pleased to announce that drilling on the high-grade Merlin molybdenum (Mo) and rhenium (Re) deposit has revealed a number of new high-grade intercepts including an intersection of almost pure molybdenite mineralisation.
Recent drilling on the eastern flank of the Merlin mineralisation has extended the mineralised zone down dip to a depth of 500 metres below surface.
Quite mind boggling grades of Mo and Re being produced here. Highest grade deposit in the world. I'm not sure what the minimum price for Mo and Re would be for this to be a mine, but wouldn't be too demanding you'd think.
I was expecting a resource upgrade by now with the other 1/3 ish of the resource outline been added. Slow for some reason.
How about some of these intersections:
MDQ0252 - 29 m @ 1.10% Mo, 10.1 g/t Re from 385 metres
MDQ0252 - 15 m @ 1.58% Mo, 24.4 g/t Re from 457 metres
MDQ0252 - 18 m @ 0.39% Mo, 7.26 g/t Re from 491 metres
MDQ0264 - 0.6 m @ 6.9% Mo, 46.4 g/t Re from 90.85 metres
MDQ0264 - 0.9 m @ 46.4% Mo, 446 g/t Re from 91.45 metres
MDQ0264 - 0.5 m @ 22.2% Mo, 248 g/t Re from 94.05 metres
God knows what 46% Mo is in Au equivalent terms. Must be well over 200 g/t at a guess.
Nice break up a few days ago.
Hi there
Any comments on perhaps why IVA had huge a volume traded today, the sp up 50c and even large overseas trades after market close today would be much appreciated........
I cant understand it? What did I miss on the charts?
Cheers
A 'no brainer'. LOL.dont worry about iva, they still have waaaaaaay more in the tank but it would be long..............
have a loooooooooong look at erm at see if u like them.............fully funded by IVA and currently working systemitcally through 22 Tier 1 potential strikes.............early results are hugely encouraging and with top management and technology there is no doubt in my mind they will deliver in spades...........like anything though.......do your own homework and this is just my opinion..........read through all of their announcements, they just released their quartertly shareholders newsletter.............and listen to Rob on the boardroomradio brodcasts that he appeared on during the year.............a no brainer imo but again a long...............
best wishes and next, there is a trade everyday.......
A 'no brainer'. LOL.Has some significant land holdings and a couple of narrow intersections at an excellent grade, but hardly a 'no brainer' at this stage of the game. You'll have to ramp it more cunningly than that to make people have a looooooong look. Good luck.
Miner, are we talking about Ivanhoe Mines or Ivanhoe Australia?
I think Rio are buying into Ivanhoe Mines in Canada, which subsequently owns like 40% or something of Ivanhoe Australia.
Maybe I have it wrong, just going from old drunken memory.
Certainly interesting moves by RIO that will have big impact on Ivanhoe Austraia whatever the case.
Doesm't some big wig own a huge piece of Ivanhoe? Must need his blessing to take it over.
