The company name was changed on July 6th 2007 from Niagara Mining NIA to Poseidon, POS. Please refer to the NIA thread for historical information about the company. The company has 152m ordinary shares, and 16m partly-paid shares and options of various dates. Undiluted market cap is A$150m at the current share price (A$1.00). This seems a tad expensive given that Mincor MCR is currently capped at around A$600m and is in production, producing around 16KT nickel/year.

Windarra Underground POS cannot re-enter the Windarra underground until at least Oct 2007. They are currently awaiting approval to dewater the decline. No date has been given for a restart of production although presumably this must be the aim eventually.

South Windarra heap leach project is currently being grade-control drilled, and a go-ahead will be given if a sub $5.00/lb nickel operating cost looks within reach. Laboratory work is ongoing to test this out.

Just came accross this stock randomly. Price seems to have stayed low compared to the rest of the market. Pretty stable too.

Any reason for it not rebounding with the rest of the market?

Hi Synergy

Firstly, I presume you know it was previously Niagara Mining and had a one for two consilidation a couple of months ago.

I was in this one last year, but got out in frustration just before the 'Twiggy Forest' announcement :banghead: when the price started skyrocketing. :eek:

Basicly, the bum fell out of the price of nickel. As I understand it they made some quite significant profit forcasts based on high nickel prices. Since then the price of nickel has come way down and their cost of production is relatively high and things still seem to be progressing fairly slowly after the hype, or was that hope, that Twiggy would get things moving.

I expect that unless something dramatic occurs either at Windara or Ghana the price will probably trend lower.

There is also the question of the board withdrawing from the previously announced Nickel marketing agreement with FSG and whether Twiggy can make a significant contribution considering his commitments to FSG. I'm not looking to rush back into it yet.
 
Twiggy got options for 40 cents when the NIA shares were at about $2. Then the consolidation and share price really came to half.
Now Twiggy is to exercise his options in a month ?
He has few choices.
One wild choice is to sell FMG shares to Russians and Chinese. Will probably
Invest back in POS and jack the market. He is good at that trick but never been successful in producing metals. So if I am a punter I will buy POS keeping my emotions in bank.

Looks like no one reads this forum on Pos. Good thoughts.
Any way who are reading this please visit my posting on FMG
and visit http://asx.com.au/asx/statistics/an...rchByCode&releasedDuringCode=W&issuerCode=POS
Twiggy has exercised his options at the last moment.
Gosh what would he has done if Fed did not cut interest rate ?
That far sight as an investor makes him billionaire - he has guts and takes risks. Others talk.
Nickel price has jumped by 10%. Hopefully my dud in NIA would be able to reduce some losses since the prices were half.
Unconfirmed report POS management is trying to start some of the Windowra (can not spell it) mine. But do not expect more. Pretty poor management otherwise there would be some announcement or price increase.

Hello Miner

I, too, hold Poseidon shares (and must admit made some money on their initial steep rise when they were still called Niagara and Andrew Forrest first became involved, but bought into them again ....). I have watched my holding melt away and read anything I can find on them - nothing much happening, as you have observed.

I think Twiggy's latest move might give them some publicity but on a practical level I can't see any immediate benefit. Mr Forrest, indeed, gifted those options that in my view were intended as a performance reward, but maybe I'm naive. Now he's got himself some publicity and a tax benefit as well.

Here is the full story:

Anyone know why this is running?
 
refer announcement on 26th sept 2007:

"A diamond drill rig (Boart Longyear LF230) started work on Friday 14th as planned and has already completed 2 holes which have intersected and confirmed significant Nickel zones and is currently drilling its third hole. Poseidon’s initial objective is to expand and bring to reserve status enough ore for the first 12-18 months of the production phase. The drilling activity is necessary to fully delineate the near surface ore bodies which have been identified previously. The company expects that this phase of the drilling will be completed in the next few weeks and if successful will provide confidence to initiate the construction project next year."

maybe assays results are to be announced??...
 
I have watched POS just jump from 90 cents to $1.17, no retrace.
Something is up.
We will have to wait and see
 
POS is up to $1.35 now.. I got on earlier this morning as I was intrigued by the action and suspect something is forthcoming.. I will either reap the rewards or suffer the consequences later.. If there is not a substanital announcement in the next couple of days I think that this is being manipulated.. I am sure I read Twiggy bought another $500k + last week increasing his holdings..
 
i hope you ended up buying them tony, cause if you didnt you will be kicking yourself now, even if no one reply to your comments:banghead:
 
POS is off again. Dumb old me wtached it yesterday thinking, I missed the boat - now it's up another 12%
 
I was stressing a bit this morning cause I paid a premium yesterday.. I guess no one believes the response to the speeding ticket.. Look like its all go with market down too....

So I take it that you bought in then did you ....tvhead.....so how many did you buy or is it another one that got away?
 
Just noticed this morning that there's an obvious mistake in the bidding line-up. There's an order for 2,000 shares @ $1,245.00. A sure mistake @ $1.245 but what happens with this order? Will it go through to the benefit to some happy seller???
 
What are peoples thoughts on the price action in the last week? Specially from weds onwards. Took a massive dive on Thursday but regained in the last hrs (hammer time!). Rallied hard on Friday - any news? Any reasons? Ppl saw oversold opportunity? PPl who sold out on thursday getting back in?? Both which snow balled into a really strong rally??

I sold out on thursday :mad:
