Hi guys, this announcement came online sometime between market close and now-
http://www.asx.com.au/asx/statistic...MN&timeFrameSearchType=D&releasedDuringCode=T
The title is - "Resource Upgrade - Goanikontes Anomaly A"
Maybe somebody could decipher the geological talk into simple terms, but it sounds good to me.
Hopefully a good day tomorrow.
So much for the 160 Million pound estimate... I wonder how the market will take the news... There seems to be an element of disappointment over at HC... but 72.2 Million is awesome... I don't hold BMN anymore however I sorta wish I did...
Hi Insider,
Actually 160 mlbs could still on the cards with the final resource(who knows)? I'll be happy with anything over 110 though, 100 being the minimum. I personally think that 72 mlbs is a fantastic result as i think that BMN is moving in the right direction and fast!
This an important point to bear in mind even though the resource upgrade is well under (HC) expectations, and mine. I think this has occurred because of an overestimation of the width of the overall resource, especially to the south, and the gaps between the alaskytes at depth. Important to keep in mind is that the market average (from where that's taken I'm not sure) is around $12-14 lbs/u I remember seeing somewhere. BMN are still to come out with their final resource, and the metasediments have not been analysed. Punter's and Hartley's call of 120-160m lbs potential may have to be revised. 100m is still obviously well in ballpark, and what the SS was based on, but it's going to take longer to get that resource finalised. This was supposed to happen in about mid Q3, but they're now putting that back to 'sometime' in the June quarter, which to me means the end of it. A few months behind schedule, probably due to the labs being overburdoned. I'm disappointed that the expectations of this have been overdone, and the fact they have 72m lbs to be expanded to 100m ish, just at AA, is an excellent result by world standards. It still places them to be one of the top few producers, and they have another 10 deposits to drill out....BMN now valued at around $5 per pound of u.
The chemical results have generally come in pretty close to the radiometrics from memory, so that should be added in once all the results are back. Once the drilling to 400m is included (assuming it's all mineralised) then the 100m lbs figure should be met. It should also include the overall head grade to be in line with the indicated figure of 234ppm, above the scoping study assumptions. Broker analysis on the 100m lbs assumption gave price targets of between $3.50 and $5.00 (Hartleys, DJs), based on $45 U.Coffey has advised that under JORC guidelines more weight is given to chemical assays over radiometric data. Accordingly, as many chemical assays are pending and a large proportion of the resource has been modeled using radiometric data, Coffey has categorised the greater proportion of the resource as Inferred. A small area of closer spaced drilling with largely
chemical assay results has been classified as Indicated. Coffey also re-calibrated the radiometric data based upon a statistical study by firstly reducing values by 30 to 40ppm and then applying a factor of 0.85 to the result.

mmmm Trading Halt until Friday. Could be the new JORC you have all been waiting for! Good luck!.............................
No, fair question, but you need to read the initial halt announcement more carefully. It was in the halt untill the date, or until the ann was released. It was out relatively early.Was the trading halt Canceled on the ann? Did it even last for the 29th? How can the share price change and have volume when there is a trading halt?
Sorry for stupid questions!
This is on the precipice at the moment.
That big rounded top is extremely ugly and has more to play out if MAJOR support at $2.25-2.50 is broken. Not sure which is more important of those numbers.
It’s not just following the market, as that’s not it’s long and medium term history to date.
Needs to reconfirm to the market that 100m lbs at AA is on the cards (maybe a good intersection or 2) and provide some more reassurance that the litigation is bunk.
Bannerman Resources Welcomes Peter Christians as New Chief Operating Officer
PERTH, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 5, 2008) - Bannerman Resources Ltd. (TSX:BAN)(ASX:BMN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Christians to the position of Chief Operating Officer.
Mr. Christians, a mining engineer, is Namibian born, and has accumulated more than 23 years experience in mine planning and design. Mr. Christians joins Bannerman following eight years with AngloGold Ashanti as Mine Planning Manager based in Perth, Australia. His career spans international postings which include Gold Field's Tarkwa Mine in Ghana and Kennecott Utah Copper's Bingham Canyon Mine in Salt Lake City, U.S.A.
Most significantly for Bannerman, Peter Christians' career began and includes 10 years in Namibia at Rio Tinto's Rossing Mine, the world's largest open pit uranium mine. The Rossing Mine is immediately adjacent to and geologically on strike from Bannerman's Goanikontes Anomaly A deposit. An initial scoping study anticipates that Bannerman's operation will be very similar to the Rossing Mine....
No, fair question, but you need to read the initial halt announcement more carefully. It was in the halt untill the date, or until the ann was released. It was out relatively early.
Probably just issue shares to institutions here and OS.Hi,
Do you have any thoughts on how Bannerman will raise the cash for a $20million BFS??

One important point to note will be the likely add back of %U in the grades after the outstanding chemical assays are back from the lab:
The chemical results have generally come in pretty close to the radiometrics from memory, so that should be added in once all the results are back. Once the drilling to 400m is included (assuming it's all mineralised) then the 100m lbs figure should be met. It should also include the overall head grade to be in line with the indicated figure of 234ppm, above the scoping study assumptions.

8-10m @ 2.50 ish....
They've probably already sorted out where this is coming from if they're any good. Hopefully not at too much of a discount to whatever it's sp is at the time.
By their own timetable the 'feasability studies' would have already commenced.
The big question will be where is the money coming from for construction and development of the mine. It will be a combination of debt and equity, or perhaps, a partner....
The timetable has been mentioned in their last few presentations. However, due to the lab delays, and delay of the final resource to 'sometime' in the June quarter, it may slide to the right a bit IMO. Not sure if the feasability studies just continue on without that finalised, perhaps so.On the raising of capital for construction and development of the mine do you have any idea when they will need to do this and how long it will take to complete the mine?
