EXT - Excite Technology Services

Well the resource came out yesterday and clearly exceeded market expectations!

I was very surprised to see it come in as now the highest grade deposit in Namibia. Now when we compare BMN to EXT the difference is in the grades, EXT grades are almost double that of the BMN Anomoly A.

I would like to see this continuation of the resource down to Zone 2, which if it now meets market expectations will be turning into a very significant resource.
Yeah, the grades were always going to be good. If they had have produced that JORC 18 months ago the stock would have trippled.

How's the MC of BMN v EXT at the moment?

Rossing South - Zone 2 and Ida Dome

Recent significant chemical assays

ROSSING SOUTH – Zone 2
Chemical assay results confirm massive mineralised system with multiple zones of high grade uranium mineralisation, including 78m @ 651 ppm U3O8.

Uranium mineralisation defined over a strike length of two kilometres, also open along-strike and down-dip.

IDA DOME
Chemical assay results continue to confirm high grade uraniferous leucogranites, including 6m at 17,135 ppm (1.71%) U3O8.

All prospects open along strike and down dip with significant potential to expand the current resource base.

South Perth, Western Australia – January 30 2009
– Extract Resources (“the Company”) today announced that, in addition to the recently completed Rossing South Zone 1 resource estimate of 108 m. lbs of U3O8 at a grade of 430 ppm (ASX release 27 January 2008), a backlog of assay results from Rossing South Zone 2 and Ida Dome have returned some outstanding intersections.

The Husab Uranium project is strategically located in the centre of the globally significant Namibian alaskite uranium province and still remains largely unexplored. Future exploration work will follow up on this potential targeting known exposed uraniferous alaskites and concealed targets.

Rossing South - Zone 2
At the same stage of exploration, Zone 2 has returned similar widths and grades of uranium mineralisation to Zone 1. Once sufficient drilling has been completed the maiden Zone 2 resource will begin to quantify the enormous potential of this prospect; this is scheduled for August 2009. Highlights from recently received drilling results are shown in the following table with a complete list of drill hole intersections shown in Appendix 2.

Zone 2 has been defined over a strike length of 2.0 kilometres and is open along strike and down dip (Figure 2). Resource definition drilling on 100 x 100 metre spacing is in progress.

Ida Dome
The Ida Dome prospects have returned significant zones of uranium mineralisation. Given the outstanding exploration success at Rossing South, further exploration drilling has been reprioritized; however, outstanding drilling results have been returned from all prospects drilled, with some of the recent results from Holland’s Dome highlighting the potential of this area. Results such as 6m @ 1.71% (17,135 ppm) U3O8 from 81 metres, within a zone of altered alaskite, illustrate the quality of the Ida Dome prospects.

Ida Dome presently contains a large uranium endowment (ASX release 7 August 2008) with resources of 25.1 m.lbs U3O8 defined. Future drilling is expected to significantly increase the resource base with all prospects drilled still open along strike and at depth. Potential exists for Ida Dome to support a stand alone mining operation or become a satellite operation to Rossing South. All options for this area are under consideration.

Extract set for more battles with Kalahari
4th February 2009, 13:15 WST

Uranium explorer Extract Resources looks set for another stoush with its 39 per cent shareholder Kalahari over the appointment of John Main as a director of the company.

Mr Main was appointed as a non-executive director after an extraordinary general meeting on Monday during which shareholders voted to remove the company’s chairman Robert Buchan.

Kalahari requisitioned the meeting and used its weight of votes to oust Mr Buchan but Extract immediately announced it would appoint Mr Main as a non-executive director.

Kalahari has since requisitioned another meeting calling for the removal of Mr Main and another director Steve Sikirich.

The company argues Mr Main has close ties to Rio Tinto, which would jeopardise shareholder value in the Rossing South project in Namibia by handing undue influence to the mining giant.

Extract announced a 108 million pound uranium resource at Rossing South last month, with further resource upgrades expected.

Rio Tinto owns the neighbouring Rossing project.

Kalahari has also launched Supreme Court action to remove Mr Main.

Extract said it would seek legal advice in relation to the move and keep shareholders informed of developments.

Extract shares were up four cents, or 2.47 per cent, to $1.66.
 
i hope they remove MacLachlan and Meagher, and end this whole thing.

Rossing South – Positive Metallurgical Test Work Results

Highlights
• Scoping level metallurgical test work on samples from Rossing South Zone 1 and Zone 2 return positive results.

South Perth, Western Australia – February 10 2009 – Extract Resources (“the Company”)

The Company has previously reported initial metallurgical test work on core samples from diamond drill hole RDD002 which demonstrated very good recoveries in excess of 90% could be achieved at a grind size of 106 µm and 1 mm. Subsequent reconnaissance bottle roll acid leach tests on samples from four RC drill holes demonstrated recoveries in excess of 90% in 3 of the holes tested, and 40% to >90% in four mineralised intervals in the fourth hole.

While at a very early stage, these positive results are consistent with the known uranium metal recoveries historically returned from the nearby Rossing Uranium Mine, where approximately 95% of the uranium minerals are responsive to conventional acid leach processing. The Rossing operation is known to consistently return recoveries of about 90% U3O8.

A comprehensive metallurgical test work program based on NQ core from 19 drill holes has been initiated and results are expected to be available from May 2009, onwards. These drill holes will provide representative samples along strike and at varying depths of the known extents of uranium mineralisation at Rossing South. This will allow a better understanding of the deposit mineralogy and acid leach extraction rates, and will be a critical input to the feasibility study. Further results will be released as they become available.

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation Minerals Division (ANSTO Minerals) have been selected to assist the Company with future mineralogical and metallurgical test work. ANSTO Minerals uranium capability and expertise is world renowned and the Company is pleased to have engaged the services of such an experienced group.

Yeah looking good.

Looks to have finally broken that 130-140 resistance zone that if some of you remember was the the 13-14c resistance mark a few years back. Should be very good support if it retraces to that point now.

I think there may be some switching from BMN to EXT going on here.

Kennas & bigdog,

Can I trouble you guys to explain what you think Kalahari's agenda is in stirring up the management so? Merger or T/O ideas in their heads again may be? The constant distraction can't be helpful to the smooth running of EXT during this time of opportunity.

Cheers,

Kalahari Minerals plc ('Kalahari' or 'the Company')

Holdings in Extract Resources Ltd


Kalahari Minerals plc, the AIM listed mining exploration and evaluation group with a portfolio of copper, base metal and uranium interests in Namibia, through its wholly owned subsidiary Kalahari Uranium Limited, has, since 18 December 2008, purchased 1,463,848 Ordinary Shares in Extract Resources Ltd (ASX and TSX: EXT) ('Extract') for an average price of AU$1.21 per share. Kalahari is now interested in 84,520,985 ordinary shares in Extract representing approximately 39.73% of the total voting rights of Extract.

In addition, the Company has purchased 1,856,410 options in Extract at an exercise price of AU$1 per option ('Options'), with an expiration date of 28 March 2009. The exercise of these Options will inject AUD$1.8 million additional working capital into Extract. On exercise of the Options, Kalahari will have a total interest of 86,377,395 ordinary shares in Extract.

Kalahari Minerals plc (‘Kalahari’ or ‘the Company’) Completed Consolidation of Uranium Projects

Kalahari Minerals plc, the AIM listed mining exploration and evaluation group with a portfolio of copper and base metal prospects in Namibia, is pleased to announce the completion of the disposal of its uranium assets (“the Disposal”) to Extract Resources Ltd (ASX: EXT) ("Extract").

All conditions have now been met including the issue to Kalahari’s subsidiary, Kalahari Uranium Limited (‘Kalahari Uranium’), of 66.7 million new ordinary shares in Extract and the completion by Extract of an A$15 million capital raising. Following the issue of these shares and the capital raising, Kalahari Uranium holds a 36.4% interest in Extract on an undiluted basis and 34.3% on a fully diluted basis. This values Kalahari Uranium’s shareholding in Extract at approximately A$66 million (£26.4 million) based on the closing mid market price of Extract at 26 March 2007.

Kalahari Chairman Mark Hohnen said, “The completion of this transaction will enable us to focus on our copper and new base metal assets, whilst at the same time, through our major holding in Extract, ensure our continued exposure to the potential upside of these uranium prospects. Importantly, it should be noted that when we joined AIM in March 2006, our valuation was attributed primarily to our copper assets. With our uranium stake in Extract currently worth approximately £26.4 million and a market cap for Kalahari of around £28 million, it is clear that the value of these uranium assets has not been truly reflected in our share price.”

I have been a long term follower and holder of EXT!
 
Yes the holders of thi one have done very well. I could have been one of them, but chose to go with Bannerman and got them at 90c and now down 20c and could have got EXT at $1.20 but got BMN as friend had them and they were trending up for along time previous. I curse everyday I see EXT head skywards and BMN doing nothing.
 
Thanks bigdog for the recap. I hope your EXT's are putting a smile on your dial. :)

I have to wonder how much of the recent surge is speculative buying in anticipation of some news from Friday's court hearing. The alternative hinted at by the recent announcement would be speculation regarding RIO involvement through it's Kalahari holding.
