If you're a straw hats in winter kind of guy, this ought to be worth a look. At 30th June 2009 the company had AU$ 1.68m in the bank and expect to spend AU$ 100k in the next quarter. There appears to be potential for depth and strike extensions with more drilling. No mention in the latest quarterly that more drilling is going to be undertaken in the following quarter. As they only expect to spend AU$ 100k in the next quarter, one would guess not.
On 12th May 2008 the company signed a strategic agreement with Glencore. They also raised AU$ 10m at 50c a share (20m new shares) to the normal institutional and sophisticated investors. Glencore became a substantial shareholder in the company and will work toward finalising offtake agreements for the lead and zinc concentrates produced for life of mine (no announcements that this was ever completed though). Glencore also got a board seat.
Comparison of Prairie Downs Metals and OVR.
PDZ has nearly twice the grade but a small resource. Both open-pittable. Both stable mining-friendly jurisdictions. PDZ also has channel iron-ore potential, one reason for the difference in market cap's I'd guess.
Market cap. (ordinary shares, undiluted)
OVR 74m shares @ 7.1c = AU$ 5.25m
PDZ 73m shares @ 25c = AU$ 18.25m
Resource
OVR 8.9MT @ 7.5% Zn+Pb
PDZ 1.6MT @ 16% Zn+Pb plus 36g/t Silver
