My first post :) - I've been watching the spike that occured a few weeks ago when SAU announced their plans to do uranium. Seems that today's anouncement about expanding operations should produce a reasonable spike. I'd appreciate opinions on strategies / risks on this stock. My feeling is that long-term this has excellent prospects but the immediate future will be rather bumpy.

Nobody seemed interested a few weeks ago - but this has been on the rise for the past two days which is rather surprising given everything else that is going on.
I caught a good trade at 25c last week and hoped to see over 30c by the end of the month. I was most surprised to see it hit 30.5c yesterday.
Looks like good reports will come through at the end of the month after the drilling.

i bought some at 23.5 a few weeks back, as far as uranium explorers go this one has heaps of potential and the market cap is pretty low compared to others... some solid bids holding up the buy side now, i'm expecting it to keep creeping north as we get closer to victory results
great to see it hold today while the rest of the market, took a dive

Yeah that release worried me. I was hoping for a good run to end of month.
In everyone's experience what happens when a spp this much lower than market price happens?
Will people just buy little packets so that they can then buy some at the 22c price?
I figured that people wouldn't want to get in at anything much above the spp 22c
It has regularly had a few end of day trades slip through at around 26c and spend the day hovering between 27 and 28.

Another set back for SAU today..
MILLIONS of dollars in capital raisings for uranium floats in South Australia are under a cloud following the State ALP's unannounced decision to block new uranium mines in the State
Out of sau just for the moment, will be back a little later before victory results hopefully

I think they are going to need some extraordinary news to instill peoples confidence back into this one. I got in at .18 seen it go up then down and ended up pulling the pin at .23. Dont have enough confidence in them yet. Stacks of potential though just seen others in the market that were a better option imo.

This one is on the move again. At it's peak price today it was 37.5% up on the previous day. There were results out - more progress reports than anything - but perhaps people got excited because SAU's partner Hindmarsh is being bought out by a canadian uraniam miner group.
If anyone has a better idea why this has started moving again - and perhaps some feeling on where it might peak - I'd like to hear from you.

i just did a bit of research of this company...
at friday 24/2 close of 0.19, market cap is only $6million...
they have $3million cash, which is 9.5cps..
Also, HMR(or MGA) is going to spend $1M on exploration on SAU EL's this year, with a further commitment to spend at least an additional $1.5M.
they will also get 150k from SA government under the PACE (program for accelerated exploration)
If you add this $2.65M of funding that has been commited to SAU to the $3M cash, you will see that we are paying $350k for their entire exploration portfolio...!! thats nothing!!!
this seems to be very undervalued, and with results from several drillings coming in the next few months, the sp could really fly when its value/potential is realised...
also, 5 directors bought shares in november, for around 0.18....
any thoughts?

Your figures seem fair - Market a bit negative I think because of the questionable SPP. Also have delayed some projects & not achieved some timeframes.
Very much early days & when it finds it's feet, ie: "some positive drills," then IMO it will move very quickly as it is tightly held.

Hi pharoah,
I consider anything under 20c a great buy. This just has to take off in the next few months. I loaded up at 25c and was too bold to sell off as it fell. I've taken another load at 16.5 c recently and now I'm balanced out i.e. no loss at current market price of around 19c.
Keep an eye on it.

Hi folks,
SAU ..... here's a technical update and some
time cycles ahead ..... :)
Hangingman candle on 29032006 has set us up for
a pullback, to then allow a more sustainable rally,
going forward.
Looking ahead, we can see likely key dates
for SAU, around:
24052006 ..... 2 significant cycles here ... looks big ...
..... may be negative financial news???
31052006 ..... minor news
15062006 ..... minor
19-20062006 ..... June solstice 2006 ... may bring significant
and positive news - (finance-related???)
Hope this helps you some.
happy trading

It is one of the original uranium stocks with share price still below $1. I cannot figure it out what this company is up to, but I do received a notice about uranium spin-off. I just passively hold this for a while already, hope it can find a pile of uranium, gold, copper, zinc, nickel, or anything by accident.

Without uranium hype, I don't know what is attraction of SAU, it becomes one of the 1000s of small precious metal/base metal plays. Can't bet your house on it. In stead bet a bunch of them, and hope one of them become 10 bagger or better, such as CDU by become the darling of day-traders, or find something by accident, or by boosting results..... Surly the rest might drafting up and down without any direction.
I play such game with iron ore companies. I bet equal money on CFE, GWRO, MMX, MGX, GBG... In less than 12 months, GWRO become almost 10 bagger, MMX almost tripled, while CFE, MMX and GMX are all drafting down a bit.
But overall this strategy can easily beat ASX200 by a big margin. It is fun to cash in the winners, but the dreadful feeling to hold a bunch of small directionless mining companies is so depressing.....

This ones an interesting one.
Market cap of about $30million.
Will own ~40% of SNU, whose market cap is $23million at the offer price.
If SNU does a NUP and goes to $1 quickly, then SAU's stake in this asset alone is worth 79cps.
And dont forget SAUs other prospective projects, in gold/nickel and they are keeping 2 uranium projects for themselves.
Talbot and CITIC are major shareholders in SNU - these guys took a stake in MTN when it was about $1.
Very suprising to see SAU in the 40s, I may have to pick up a few on market.

Hi guys this is whats coming up.
I dont think anyone is bothered about Wyoming...Challenger and Cambodia is the company making projects!
March should be good.
I have been holding for months now.
Hardly the best stock to watch for interest but on any good announcements this should go up quite nicely due to the fact there arent many shares kncoking around.
If you read the presentation recently at the end it clearly says...that we are on the verge of a major find in cambodia.
I repeat major.;):
So i would not be surprised for them to find a 1million ounce resource.Plus they have been doing this work in Cambodia now since 2006....so the fruits of the labour are just starting to come out.
does anyone else hold these on ASF??
I bought in the 20's 30's and 40's and yet i still cant keep it up,lol.
Even tho my position is not looking good on paper i still have very high hopes for this dark horse.
Challanger mine and the work in Cambodia is what made my mind up.
If you read their latest presentation it says towards the back of it that they are on the verge of a MAJOR discovery...thats right people MAJOR!!
gold gold gold.
Now MAQ bank and its european investors saw value at 39 cents for i think $3.9mill bucks.
So they have now lost half as todays price stands....
Do you think they are bothered by todays price?? I think not.
They look at it from a long term point of view.
Maq bank went to Cambodia to inspect the work going on.SAU have been doing this since early 2006....!!!!!!!!!!!
I expect something very good. Maybe a 1 million ounce find or more would be a great start.
Challenger mine....well from what i hear they have a few full time geos working for SAU and these same geos are from DOM!!! hint hint.(DYOR)
I am not telling you to buy but keep these guys on your watchlist...i expect some action soon.

Japan’s JOGMEC in A$4.9m JV with Southern Gold
to accelerate three Cambodian gold projects
The large Japanese government organisation, JOGMEC, plans to fund accelerated
exploration on three Cambodian gold and base metal projects under a Letter of
Intent announced today with Australia’s Southern Gold Limited (ASX code” SAU”).
JOGMEC (Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation) and Southern Gold
today announced the signing of the LOI to enter into a Joint Venture (JV) over three
of Southern Gold’s wholly-owned granted Exploration Licences in Cambodia.
Under the LOI, JOGMEC will invest US$4.5 million (A$4.94m) within 3 years to earn
a 51% interest in the three tenements – Phnum Khtong (Kratie North Project), and
two adjoining blocks, Preak Khlong and O’Kthung (Kratie South Project), all to the
northeast of Phnom Penh.
The agreement includes an upfront payment to Southern Gold of approximately
US$400,000 on signing of the LOI for current exploration costs, followed by a
decision to proceed with a full joint venture on the Kratie North and/or the Kratie
South Projects by June 2008.
The three tenements are among eight gold projects wholly or majority owned by
Southern Gold under its “first mover” strategy to establish a cornerstone gold
business in Cambodia to compliment the Company’s Australian gold focussed
projects across three states.
“The Joint Venture will enable Southern Gold to bring forward exploration schedules
and therefore potential discoveries in Cambodia which we regard as one of the
world’s great mining frontiers,” Southern Gold’s Managing Director, Mr Stephen
Biggins, said today.
“The agreement ensures we can now commit to substantially larger drilling budgets
to test early stage exploration discoveries made by our exploration team in Phnom
Penh.
“Significantly, the JV, expected to take effect almost immediately, extends Southern
Gold’s direct relationships with key consumer economies for commodity metals.”
The JV is the first Japanese, and JOGMEC’s first, investment in Southern Gold’s
projects, whose larger shareholders include Chinese resource investor CITIC as
well as Australia’s Macquarie Bank Limited.
“This combination of key Japanese, Chinese and Australian support is an
exceptionally strong vote of confidence by world majors in Southern Gold's Asian
strategy,” Mr Biggins said.
“It is an envious position for a young explorer to be in and should also re-ignite
market sentiment about those Australian companies driving the establishment of a
modern-day commodities footprint in Asia.”
About JOGMEC
Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation’s (JOGMEC) objectives are to
secure a stable supply of oil, natural gas, nonferrous metals and minerals to Japan.
Typically, JOGMEC carries out mineral exploration jointly with various organisations
such as major or junior mining companies that hold mineral properties. JOGMEC
usually acquires an option for an equity interest in the project, if the results of
exploration are positive, then the equity interest is transferred to a Japanese private-sector
company.

Thanks mate, I've bought a bunch of those, it's gone up 40% :) today following this announcement:
Asian equity market and resources investors have been told Adelaide-based explorer,
Southern Gold Limited (ASX code: SAU) is on the verge of making a “major” gold
discovery in Cambodia.
Addressing the peak Asia Mining Congress in Singapore, Southern Gold’s Managing
Director, Mr Stephen Biggins, said recent investments in the Company’s Cambodian
campaigns had enabled it to “significantly” step up exploration activities at three of its eight
gold projects in the country’s northeast.
“We have now cemented our early mover advantage in Cambodia, and are on the verge of
making a major gold discovery,” Mr Biggins told the mining and investment Congress.
Southern Gold is the sole or majority owner of eight Cambodian tenements, covering a total
of 1,800 km2 in the highly prospective northeast region, where artisanal mining has long
pointed to extensive high-grade gold and base metals mineralisation.
Exploration licences have been granted for three of Southern Gold’s wholly-owned
tenements, with applications pending on a further four.
The Company’s first drilling at its Snoul concession, completed in December last year,
intersected gold in three holes. Detailed geochemistry and geological programs are currently
being undertaken.
“All eight tenements suggest the potential for high-grade gold finds, with widespread
mineralised intrusive bodies and highly anomalous regional soils,” Mr Biggins said in
Singapore.
“In some places, there is undrilled gold mineralisation literally protruding out of the ground
and this continues to add to our confidence of an imminent large discovery.”
SAU is in trading halt till next tuesday

"we're on the verge of a major discovery", the companies catch phrase for a while now, has got to be the most forward looking statement ever, I think it's about time they backed it up with more than a handful of marginal intercepts and some surface samples. More drills please and perhaps we will get a glimpse of this major discovery they talk about soon!

Hmm... needs more than a positive outlook to lift value. Nothing to get excited about yet but I do like the potential of their position in Cambodia - SEA plays appeal to me as an under explored region, close to market, low capex/opex when they finally do find something, etc. I have a holding that owes me nothing except for a return on the opportunity cost... Hmm.. in that case it owes me heaps... Prepared to be patient for a little longer...
