Don't see this anywhere here, which I am kind of surprised about. Got a write up in last weeks Bulletin as stock tip for this year......
"This group provides ore crushing and mineral processing services in the resources industry. Services are offered with long-term contracts, providing low-risk revenue streams. Its recent contract success with Precious Metals australia will expand the company's crushing operations by up to 50% over the coming two years".

A nice steady graph, gently and nicely (will try and post chart in a minute!).
PE 26
PEG 0.84
Div 2%

Michael Kiernan is a Director.

Anyone else on this?

Have been following it Grace, but the low liquidity worries me a tad.
No doubt I will hop in when I feel the time is right, but the general market itself needs to settle in an upward direction first
 
MIN is low liquidity because more than 85% are held by few people - the promoters like Chris, Steve etc.
It is a solid company and they do not go to customers - customers come to them. Where others failed MIN (previously PIHA, CSI) returned rewards.
They are favoured by ironic oppositions Rio and FMG in awarding contracts.
I have bought and sold MIN couple of times. It is a growth share.

Regards
 
Profit result out for MIN today and all good (growth according to forecasts).

For 6 months
NPAT $20 mill up 56%
(full year forecast is $40million - business is not seasonal!)

EPS 16.5c
Fully franked div of 6c

Good to see no nasty surprises. Growth should continue based on new contracts awarded in recent times!

I continue to hold as they seem to be in the right business at the right time!

Perhaps MS could give a nicer looking post on this though!
 
Well well, MIN got a speeding ticket, with a reply of don't know why...

Perhaps I can shed some light...Michael Kiernan - Chairman has stepped down. After his efforts of transporting money from both TTY and IRL to prop up old MON (through loans or share purchases), I am pleased he has moved on from my little favourite mining services company. I think the market also agrees with me.... MD has stepped up to the role.

Should be no threat here now for MIN, thank goodness.
 

Good piece of info grace. MK is a bad apple probably similar to Eddie of ABS. That also explains why IRL has gone down further more. Chris E is a director and promoter of MIN has made substantial investment in IRL (just like Andrew Forrest did). Chris used to be one of the top 20 share holders. If what you said is correct then probably Chris will be unloading his shares from IRL as well. The current MD of MIN is an excellent person and very capable. Good luck to all MIN share holders.
 
Profit guidance out today of $47 mill for 07/08. Forecast of $40mill+. All looks nicely on track for my favourite mining services company. It has been nice to me for several years now.

Also, new contract with Hancock group on new manganese mine.

Nice profit announcement out today - only up 135%. Seem to be doing a good job. Pity I didn't pick up a few more of these some years back.

Hi Grace

Well said

MIN floated I believe in 2007 so how could you buy it few years back ?

But IMO it is a great investment and more stable than many producers as well as Fly by Night explorers. Backed by Solid and competent board and reinforced by Jo Ricardo - part owner of GR Engineering Services and previous partner of JR Engineering Services.

MIN is having a very strong alliance with Rio Tinto and Chris Ellison proudly says that we do not go to people to sell they come to us and we deliver.

There are not many smart people who can boast on such things

Disclaimer : I hold a very small parcel of MIN for long term
 

Miner, you might have caught me out there. I did buy end of 06 though, so just after float (didn't even realise they had just floated at the time, as I was new to the daily share market news then!). Certainly was a lucky investment for a beginner though.

Here's a chart since floating.

WOW! How wrong can you (me actually) be, I'm very lucky I put a much hated stop loss under this one & got out at a small loss. Looks like it was magically staying in the stratosphere while every thing else was falling only to burst hugely once the dividend was paid. & burst it has. Was there some bad news? or was it just a delayed reaction to the rest of the market? I must admit to not following it once I got out. sorry!
 
MIN invested a fraction over a 1million dollars in a GDR (Goldstar Resources NL) share placement around the middle of 2008, taking a 5% stake in the company. I'm guessing this was a strategic move as to aid in receiving a crushing and service installation contract etc or perhaps a JV, unfortunately GDR went into administration on the 8th Jan 2009.

Not a huge dent in things I know but is it strange that MIN has yet to send out a company announcement regarding this? I cant find anything to suggest a change in MIN's substantial holding in GRD so to me MIN still hold a 5% stake.

Disclosure; I don't hold shares in either company, just follow MIN.
 

I think they invested in Michael K's gold company and POS as well.
Aparently MIN sued Michael K for the loss and still fighting a case.

Are they putting some extra cash in high risk investments and end of the day the shareholders as usual paying for them
 

Miner, where do you find this information. I remember a discussion on this thread about how they didn't have exposure to Monarch. Can you show me where to look. Thanks

Grace

I am taking your query on notice.

From memory I remember having read that MK was director for MIN and MON. Now apparently he persuaded MIN to invest on MON. Then allegely MIN lost lot of money from this deal and they sued MK for fiddiciary negligence etc.

I hope my memory is not failing and this could have settled off the court too.

But nevertheless, there must be other ASF members who could throw some light here in case my recollection is incorrect.

Regards

Disclaimer : I do not hold MON
 

I thought it was just Territory Iron TTY and IRL India Resources who were both propping up Monarch. At the time I recollect that he didn't get any money out of MIN because of the major holding by other Directors.

I know MK sold a big holding in MIN (off market sale) when it seems he needed some money for MON. MIN and MON (sounds like the flower pot men, perhaps that kind of suits MK!)

I would really like to know the full story though if someone knows where to look.
