It did? good...

You made some great points mmmmmining... but you didn't understand what I was saying... I was saying that I believe that the uranium sector is kind of unpredictable, companies that are worth billions yet don't make a cent is one way it defies logic... people keep asking questions like "it's soooo good why doesn't it go up?" and then for no reason at all it jumps up unexpectedly... there probably is a reason but it does defy logic... My dodgy little comparison between AGS and MTN was nothing more than an example of unpredictability in this sector... so my advice is just sit and wait... that's all... What I speak of is something outside of analysis, good results, issues, politics etc.
 
Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

Insider sure they don't make profits, but isn't markets all about expectations of profit? With the resource size of Mt Gee, the profit potential is sizeable (assuming +1000tpa given in presentations). Not only that, the forward u price is unlikely to be $100/lb, it could theoretically be higher when they are in bankable feasibility - say about $120/lb.
 
Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

I would have thought that with demand for U outstripping supply, with actual auctioning going on for U, :rolleyes: with Cigar Lake flooded and probably not capable of production for some years to come, with China trying its hardest to get into Australia's uranium, with ERA with a flooded mine and with the results of the recent drilling at Mt Gee that MTN must surely be qualified to be issued with a licence in the near future. Any thoughts?

I don't think any of those factors play a part in MTN getting a lisence to mine. :confused: I think that's up to the SA gov after an application is received. Plus, I think getting the lisence to mine is after a BFS anyway, so long time comming I think. And, I'm still not sure if SA are playing the National Labor card on No New Mines at the moment anyway.

Thank god for the election coming up so we can all put the speculation over mining in SA to rest. As far as I'm aware its the most uranium mining friendly state in Australia.???

Amen to that. I have to say though that SA is not a 'U friendly' State, just because they have 2 operating and one approved. The Honeymoon Mine has been allowed to go ahead because it was approved in 2002 when the Liberal Party was in power in SA. While the current leader may be open to mining, he still has to follow Nat Labor policy.
 
Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

Yep kennas is right. Don't even have to look at this approval issue until AFTER the BFS outcomes.

Canberra, Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, Nowra, and NT. And any Australian embassy overseas.

Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

There was a full page article on uranium in today's Herald Sun... it was titled "Uranium Fever" It picked the top ten Uranium Deposits in Australia and said who owned them... There wasn't anything said about MTN that we don't know but mentioned the takeover bid from Crosby Financial Partners in Hong Kong... It also stated that MTN along side PNN have had recent gains of 400%...

There wasn't that much said about the companies and no market capitals were mentioned, however the found resource was... Hopefully investors will see how much more uranium MTN have compared with the rest and compare market capitals...

In the Article there was also mention about how the market is anticipating a change in next months review of the labor policy on new mines...
 
Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

Those articles are aimed at the average Joe, not much in them really.

I agree, not much we shouldn't know already. The effect will be that your next cabbie will be telling you to buy uranium stocks..... :banghead:

Creating awareness (that MTN exists!) among average Joes is not a bad thing.

But i dont want them to catch on yet. Though it willl be good if, in the future, they do come to the understanding that uranium stocks are unreal - they will be buying from us when PDN is around the $30/40 mark and MTN maybe $10-15.

And thats just before the uranium bubble bursts.

Remember the masses rarely get it right.

I was reading a book where it was mentioned that there was a fund manager that pick stocks by taking the position opposite to what is in those stockmarket newsletters, he subscribes to about 30 newsletters, and in his calculation, he puts largest weighting to the ones that have the largest number of subscribers. He managed north of a billion dollars, and has been very succesful. His reasoning was that the masses always rely on these newslettes to make decisions, and the masses rarely get it right. Funny stuff :D
 
Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

The thing is for the no new mines policy to be lifted I think there needs to be a significant amount of investor pressure... So getting the average joe to jump on would be good...
 
Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

Hey Guys
The board has gone very quiet. What's happening, what are your thoughts about the lack of movement?

I check the dictionary about a word PATIENT,

1. bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint;
2. manifesting forbearance under provocation or strain;
3. not hasty or impetuous;
4. steadfast despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity

In last April, someone bought MTN at $1.40. It took 8 long months until last Dec. to be in the money;
MTN just being sideway for a month, I believe you need to hug "PATIENT" for a while.

By the way, MTN will response by this Friday.

I've been waiting for Thursday and Friday for months... MTN will be presenting at a national uranium conference... should be good... Go to Uranium a raging bull thread to read more... MTN's involvement will be positive... MTN have the largest deposit of all the companies presenting but one of the smallest capitals... :D
 
Re: MTN - Marathon Resources

G'Day mmmmining
You're dead right and I believe that's the lesson I have to learn at the moment. I have been told to be patient and that the next two weeks are going to see MTN start to really move.
Insider, what was the name of that site please?
