Got this one off uranium lists posted by Ann and Laurie,,not very old but charts look preety good,have taken a possie at .36..
Day and week to me show clear reverse head and shoulder pattens with the neck line being broken last week by a big strong green candle with volume.
Daily the adx and mavd are trending strong up.week stock has turned up with the mavd just crossing into possitive territory.
Retracement to the 50% mark of the major range on all time charts and has come strongly off this point.
Monthly looks to be trending strong with the low off the 50% mark showing a clear doji candle.Ann if you are around could you post a chart,any one have any input on the fundies please?

YOUNG_TRADER
7th-July-2006, 03:53 PM
OMC's hard work has converted me over for the following reasons,
- It has focused on its JORC project in Zambia, which was ranked the 4th best place in the world to do mining business ahead of Australia which was dropped to 5th so its a safe place,
- In addition they are focused on getting this project off the ground and having recently completed a capital raising which will top up the cash coffers to $13m plenty to see this project through to BFS/Pre-Development
- They are going for a heap leach operation = lower Cap Ex and AGIP already undertook studies to show it was doable in the late 1980's (but U3O8 Price bottomed from $20 to under $10 us/lb)
- Scoping study due soon,
- Priority to new IPO listing Mantra Resources Limited to list with all Tanzanian Interests
All in all, its cashed up, its no longer a spec and it will probably be the next ASX listed company into production

Hi K-Man,
I actually had it break out twice, 1st failed breakout 8/8/06, I notice you then adjusted your triangle to make trading fit in, being a novice charter and lazy I didn't, so I noticed it breakout out on Wed this time above 55c (my triangle was actually a wedge,
While I still am not 100% convinced about charting, I have to admit it was quite coincidental the breakout and all,
Also probably helped that mkt is made aware JP Morgan becam a substanital holder,
I'm out, sold into strength, tidy quick profit :)

OMC came off highs and $0.65 playing resistance as expected. If it gets through this next level then $0.75 on the cards, so plenty of run left imo. Needs to hold above $0.60 though, which should be a decent support level now.

Just held above $0.60, well at .60.
Pulled my bid as it started to come down noting no follow through and the likely dumping by traders. Wild day, glad I didn't chase it, not convinced of breakout.
So, still not confirmed imo, will have to see how it goes next week.......Will $0.60 provide support?

Nope 150m, quoted + unquoted including recent placement,
Its essential to check the Appendix 3B reports and look at the quoted and unqouted to get a fully dilluted mkt cap
So 150m and price was around 65c mark when I posted = $97.5m
Point is that $100m mkt cap can become a barrier to overcome (See COE) and once overcome if it falls through you see alot of selling exists (Again see COE)

*5,000sq km of land in Tanzania

*22million shares priority offer
*10million shares public offer
*Priority for OMC shareholders; but only 1-for-6... not the best conditions i must say if u hold 60,000 OMC shares ($30k worth) u can only apply for 10,000 ($2k worth) of Mantra shares under priority offer and the rest under public offer

Bigger resource at Kariba
Tuesday, 29 August 2006
URANIUM explorer OmegaCorp has increased the inferred resource at its Kariba project in Zambia by about 25% to 13.7 million pounds, ahead of a 10,000m drill program set to finish in November.
The Mutanga deposit hosts 6.2Mlb uranium, with the Dibwe deposit hosting 6.6Mlb. The remaining 900,000lb is spread across the Mutanga East, Mutanga West and Mutanga Extensions at Kariba.
The biggest increase came at Dibwe, rising from 4.7Mlb to 6.6Mlb.
Finore Mining Consultants calculated the resource upgrade for OmegaCorp, based on recently acquired historical data and the company's drilling program from last year.
Two rigs are onsite at Kariba starting a 10,000m diamond and reverse circulation drilling program which aims to increase the size and confidence level of the resources.
Shares in OmegaCorp closed 1.5c (2.3%) lower at 63.5c.

Omegacorp Eyes Further Resource Upgrade And Early Mine Start On African Uranium Project
Adelaide, Sept 7, 2006 (ACN Newswire) - Significant opportunity exists to further increase the resource and move rapidly into production at a uranium project wholly-owned by ASX-listed OmegaCorp Limited
(ASX: OMC) in the African state of Zambia.
"There is considerable project upside as we have an existing JORC standard resource from only two of the five key prospects at the Kariba uranium project," OmegaCorp's Managing Director, Mr Matthew Yates, said today.
Addressing the Paydirt Media 2006 Africa Downunder Conference in Perth today, Mr Yates said the project aimed to move to a bankable feasibility study by year's end.
"We have re-adjusted our project horizons inwards now, as a result of a resource upgrade announced last week, to near-term production goals," Mr Yates said.
"Our short-term aim is to complete the current scoping study and through the extensive drilling program currently underway, further increase Kariba's resources."
Kariba has a JORC-classifed Inferred Resource, increased last week to 16.4 million tonnes, grading 380 ppm for 13.7 million pounds uranium oxide.
The scoping study has so far confirmed an 80% metallurgical recovery at Kariba via alkali leach.
Mr Yates said additional resource potential lay in further resource definition and/or infill drilling of the nearby deposits, Bungua, Mutanga East and West and Dibwe East and North deposits.
"Bungua is a priority for drill testing as it features visible mineralisation in several localities, high grade rock chip samples in excess of 3.8% uranium oxide, historical drill intercepts up to 1.6% and all of its known mineralisation is shallow with 75% of historical intercepts being less than 30 metres depth," Mr Yates said.
I think that plus the resource upgrades in November (?) from the Mutanga and Dibwe and Bungua (!!) drilling programs will take the markets attention as they will see OMC is serious about becoming a near term producer...

Neither would I.
I really thought about buying OMC at 91c right before the close thinking it could gap up 2mrw, but then i thought otherwise.
I actually did alot of selling today, havent done that in a long time.

Nizar/Kennas, sorry to ask what may seem an obvious question, but what is the significance of the white candle (as against the red stick of dynamite!).
White candle is when the stock closes above the opening price, and red candle is when the stock closes below the opening price.
A white candle is bullish because if a stock closes at the top of its days trading range, theres about a 70-80% chance that it will gap up higher on the following trading days open.

You think you are right Nizar, although I'm not sure how many trades occurred in that region which might influence the validacy (is that a word) of the gap closure. I had a lok at the time and I thought it was like just a couple of trades, so I don't know how valid it was.
Anywho, had a closer look at Gap Theory and perhaps what we saw was a Gap - Exhaustion.
Gap - Exhaustion
After an extended or long move, a gap in the direction of the current move is called an exhaustion gap. For an exhaustion gap to be considered valid, prices should reverse soon after the gap and close the gap. An exhaustion gap is confirmed when prices reverse soon afterwards and move above (or "close") the gap. After an extended advance, an exhaustion gap would be confirmed when prices reverse soon afterwards and move below the gap.
What do you reckon?

I crunched the numbers on the NPV of Kariba
The fixed assumptions (per their scoping study) were
Resource - JORC 16.5Mt@0.038% = 13.5M lbs U
Cap Ex $90m US = $130m AUD (My max estimate theirs was like $60m US)
Aud/Usd = 0.7 Cash Costs = $25 us/lb
I have assumed they use 100% debt finance which is unrealistic
@ $40 us/lb U spot NPV = $160m = $1
@ $50 us/lb U spot NPV = $350m = $2.30
@ $60 us/lb U spot NPV = $545m = $3.50
@ $70 us/lb U spot NPV = $740m = $4.75
Most likely scenario is they double resource and recieve LT contract price avg of $50 us lb and the debt fund 60% = $80m Equity 40% = $50m
Equity is made up of a placement of 50m shares @ $1 (ie in 6 months time when SP is $1.20+
So under this scenario total issued capital = 200m
JORC = 35Mt @ 0.035% = 25M lbs U (not exactly double)
Cap Ex and Cash costs the same
@ U price $50 us/lb NPV = $765m = $3.80 ish
Alot of promise for OMC

*us$25/lb costs increasing 5%pa
*us$3m/pa admin costs (increasing 3%pa inflation)
*us$5m/pa on exploration
*CapEx at A$80million (us$60m as per announcement), to be funded 50:50: debt:equity, 10% interest pa on 35mil loan, and 30million shares at $1.50 to raise the cash of $45mil (so 180million shares outstanding in total)
*uranium spot price of us$80/lb throughout (as average). Remember they are starting in mid-2008.
*aud/usd exchange rate of 0.75

$11million is enough for the drilling and resource upgrade.
$60million is for mine construction CAPEX. Will probably be funded sometime mid next year.

I made a mistake selling at $0.78 when it was falling from the $0.90 peak. The 'indicator' I thought I used was the drop through $0.80 which was a very short term support level. (in my analysis at the time) Also, at the time I wasn't trusting my theory that $0.75 would be a support level, which it was. I think at the time I was worried about the market in general and was getting out of a lot of positions...Having said that, I made an ok profit. :)

Major Drilling buys three African mining companies
Last Updated: Monday, December 4, 2006 | 10:12 AM AT
CBC News
Moncton-based metal and mineral drilling company Major Drilling is expanding into southern Africa.
The company may be based in Moncton, but most of its work is a great distance from New Brunswick.
It has offices in Winnipeg, Salt Lake City, Utah, Brisbane, Australia, Mongolia and now Johannesburg, South Africa.
Company president Francis McGuire says Major Drilling paid $12.5 million to buy three African mining companies.
"It's a very good starting base in three good countries — Botswana, Republic of South Africa and Namibia — but from there we will look at Angola, Mozambique and Zambia as well," he said.
McGuire says the company picked up 55 drilling rigs as well as experienced drillers and major contracts. He says those rigs will be used to perform exploration work for mining companies.

"There's quite a bit of activity in South Africa. There, the activity driving the mining industry is platinum," he said.
McGuire says there's also a lot of work looking for diamonds, uranium, copper and gold. He says the company expects to double its revenues over the next few years.
Major Drilling has 22 employees at its head office in Moncton.

Infill drilling COULD NOT increase their confidence in the existing JORC (inferred) resource.
So other than release this info to the market and the share price gets smashed to 50c, hey takeover comes along $1.10, beauty, lets accept.
First takeover bid should never be accepted, coz then theres speculation that the company taking over (ie. Denison) will increase their offer price and every1 benefits.
Look what happened to TYC.

OMC top 20 hold ~70%
OMC top 40 hold 78%
I spoke to the company today and the $1.10 share price is based ONLY on the 13.7mil pound resource... ie. it does not factor in any potential upgrade to the existing resource based on further drilling at Dibwe and Mutanga, which has already been completed. It also has no factor for any potential upside from Bungua which could be massive... drilling has also been completed there.
All drilling samples from Dibwe, Mutanga and Bungua are currently at the lab and results will be released to the market as they become available (most likely early January).
If that increases the resource estimate from 13.7mil pounds then is the $1.10/share offer still appropriate?!?!
Also, drilling results may make it possible to upgrade the resource catagory of Dibwe and Mutanga to JORC compliant indicated. We all already know this, but it's important to note that managements decision to recommend the offer is based ONLY on the existing 13.7mil lb uranium. I get the impression that after drilling results are released to the market, things will progress from there...

If this is the case, we should ask the removal of the whole board. How could they recommend a deal before significant drilling results? In poker game, it is blind bet. In mining business, the drilling results are everything if there is anything, or isn't anything.

Uranium miner Denison launches offer for Australia's OmegaCorp
Vulnerable to competing bids, analysts say
ANDY HOFFMAN
MINING REPORTER
Denison Mines Corp. launched a $154-million friendly offer for Australia's OmegaCorp Ltd. and said it will look for further acquisitions in the booming uranium sector just a day after finalizing a merger to create a mid-sized industry player focused on aggressive growth.
Spot uranium prices have nearly doubled over the past year to $63 (U.S.) a pound, prompting soaring valuations for uranium companies and sparking a series of mergers and acquisitions.
"There's no question that the sector is getting a lot of puff in it," Denison's chief executive officer Peter Farmer said. "The puff is not value."
Mr. Farmer said his company identified Omega as "one that has value in it and is not over inflated as far as prices are concerned." Analysts however, said the bid could prove vulnerable to a competing offer from a rival uranium company such as Paladin Resources Ltd. or sxr Uranium One Inc.
On Monday, Denison put the finishing touches on its merger with International Uranium Corp., a marriage that created a uranium producer with a market value of approximately $1.8-billion (Canadian).
Omega would represent a relatively small purchase for the bulked up Denison, which is offering $1.10 Australian dollars (99 cents) a share, a 25-per-cent premium to the company's average share price in the last 20 days. The Australian-based company's shares were last quoted at 99 cents Australian.
Mr. Farmer said Denison may be interested in buying other so-called "near-term" producers, uranium companies that are within two or three years of production.
"If there is near-term stuff available that we can get a fair deal on, we're going to take a run at it," he said.
Omega owns a uranium project in Zambia that could begin producing the metal used as fuel by the nuclear power industry by 2010. A scoping study suggests the property may contain up to 16.4 million tonnes of uranium and could produce 1.5 million tonnes per year over a mine life of six to 10 years.
Omega's management and directors, who own about 10 per cent of the company's shares, are recommending shareholders accept the deal. Omega has agreed not to solicit other offers and to pay a 1-per-cent break fee should it accept another bid. However, analysts said Denison's offer could face competition from rivals such as Paladin and sxr Uranium, both of which have operations in Africa and recently completed debt financings that could be used to fund a bid.
"I'd say there is a pretty good chance of someone else stepping up. They've certainly got the currency to do so," said one analyst who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Another analyst said Denison's bid is vulnerable because Omega shares haven't won the same valuations as other uranium companies.
"Omega shareholders are getting a good deal, but maybe they can get a better deal," he said.
Mr. Farmer adopted a cautious tone on the conference call when asked about possible competition for Omega. "Our offer is a fair offer and we have got management and the directors signed on. They want to do business with us and we'll see how the rest of the shareholder group reacts," he said.
Paladin and sxr officials did not respond to requests for comment.
Thanks for the info. I would say the rest of shareholder will say "NO" a big big "NO"

Denison obviously know about potential upgrades to the resource estimate at Kariba, but this is the first I have read of them acknowledging it. Hopefully there are other companies out there also aware of Bungua's (or Dungua's, hehe) potential...
I guess we'll all know in January when drilling results are released :)
MERGER - Denison to absorb OmegaCorp
TORONTO - DENISON MINES has announced its takeover plans for OMEGACORP of Australia. Omega has a portfolio of uranium projects in southern Africa, including the advanced stage Kariba project in Zambia.
Omega holds a 100% interest in the Kariba project, 200 km south of Lusaka. A resource estimate (not NI 43-101-compliant) of the Mutanga and Dibwe areas is 16.4 million tonnes grading 0.038% U3O8 or 13.7 million lb. A third area of mineralization, named Dungua, has also been identified. A scoping study of the project indicates that a mine could produce 1.5 million lb of U3O8 annually at an initial estimated cost of US$23/lb. With a mining rate of 2.0 million t/y, the project would have a life of between six and 10 years, and Denison believes there is the possibility of increasing the resources and mine life. The conceptual flowsheet includes milling, scrubbing, alkali leaching and CCD processes.
Denison is offering A$1.10 for each issued and outstanding share of Omega, making the deal worth A$170 million (Cdn$154 million). Directors of the Australian company have indicated that they will unanimously approve Denison's offer, and they have further agreed not to solicit other offers.
The bid implementation agreement is available at www.Sedar.com. Find the "Other" document posted by Denison on Dec. 5, 2006.
The board and the company has give away another present to the Canadians for taxation problem. I would not mind paying tax by Canadians or by myself for some free shares. I don't know why the board think it differently.
Now you don't have the free share for the NuCo, you have to pay for it through priority offer. The NeCo doesn't not have the uranium right after I carefully read it. What a joke!
