nizar said:Has anybody done some research on this coal miner??
Some background:
Resource Pacific Limited holds title to a number of mining leases and sub-leases in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, predominantly beneath the mined-out Ravensworth and Ravensworth South open cut coal mines and the operating Narama open cut mine.
The company owns and operates the Newpac No.1 Colliery, which is the largest remaining semi-soft coking coal reserve in the region.
During 2004, the company is mining semi-soft coking coal from its North Western Block at Newpac, on a bord and pillar basis. The mine has commitments from several large Asian steel mills for the majority of its forecast coal output for the 2005 financial year.
The company aims to produce 4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of primarily export coking coal by 2007, from the development of a longwall mine based on the Expanded Case Mine Plan. If market conditions do not allow the company to implement the expanded case, it aims to implement its Base Case Mine Plan, which should allow the company to produce 2.4 mtpa by 2006.
In the period to 30 June 2005, the company plans to complete its evaluation of the most appropriate method of developing the Southern Block at Newpac.
On 13 August 2004, the company entered into an agreement with subsidiaries of BHP Billiton to purchase their 53.4% interest in the Ravensworth Coal Terminal Joint Venture.

I own shares in RSP
Congrats GN. Anyone taking a profit deserves congrats, but I'm hoping a new party does come into play...and that more profits come available.
We recently observed CSM and its share price activity, as just one example.
Citigroup's recent report (13/9) notes a valuation of $2.41 and "with large reserves and the potential for significant production upgrades in the future, ...possibility to be targeted by a larger coal player..."
Anyone interested could do well to read this report:

Whether or not RSP attracts further interest, the company has the fundamentals to provide positive outcomes, but it's not an investment for the risk averse

Australian mining company New Hope has applied to the Takeovers Panel to delay avote by Resource Pacific shareholders. New Hope is hoping to acquire theQueensland group, however Resource is currently finalising plans to launch arights issue, which would help it resist the New Hope offer. New Hope believesshareholders should be given accurate information that would allow them tocompare the benefits of the takeover with the consequences of the rights issue.Rival bidders are expected to emerge for Resource Pacific
I did own shares.
Bought on Friday and sold at 2.43 on Monday
I actually had a sell at the old resistance of $2.20 but someone wanted to pay more hence the gap up.
It was fine with me

Dear Shareholder,
You will be receiving New Hope Corporation's bidder's statement. Your board is currently
evaluating the bid in detail and we will send you shortly our formal recommendation with our
target's statement. Meanwhile, we advise you to take no action.
Our present view is that the bid fails by a substantial margin to recognise Resource Pacific's
growth potential and future value. Our Newpac coal mine is a high quality asset, with a 28 year
mine life at its 2008 production rate. We have strong relationships with blue chip coal importers in
Asia which have committed to buy 100% of our 2008 saleable production at premium prices. We
also have a robust plan to double run-of-mine production to coincide with an expected increase in
port capacity, and this will result in significant revenue growth and cash generation.
Since Resource Pacific listed on the ASX three years ago, we have been investing in the
development of the mine and its infrastructure and, in line with our strategic plan, have raised
capital progressively to fund the development program. Investment in the first phase of the
strategic plan is now largely complete, and the additional equity capital raised through the recent
rights issue will enable us to deliver on the plan's next growth phase.
We are, therefore, now at the cusp of unlocking the value of the Newpac mine. New Hope's
chairman has referred to the mine as 'an excellent asset' and his company's bid is an attempt to
seize the mine's potential upside for itself, depriving Resource Pacific shareholders of the full
benefit.
Your shareholding in Resource Pacific is a direct investment in the coal industry when prices and
export demand are strong and are forecast to increase further. New Hope's assets are invested in
a range of sectors with uncertain potential. No wonder New Hope wants to increase its exposure
to the export coal market through buying Resource Pacific!
If you have any questions, please contact Steve Matthews, our company secretary, on (02) 8298
4500.
