Welcome To The Inspiration Mining HUB On AGORACOM

The company is exploring for nickel deposits on its Langmuir property near Timmins, Ontario; for nickel-gold-copper on its Cleaver and Douglas properties; and for molybdenum and rare earth elements at recently acquired Desrosiers property.

Langmuir Potential With NI @ $11/LB

posted on Apr 03, 2010 08:48AM

The following two sets of tables compare the potential that exists at Langmuir given the Micon report of January, 2010. In January, NI prices were $8/LB. Now NI prices are over $11/LB. These tables assume "Open-Pit" mining methods and project the potential given that 10M Tonnes of ore have been indicated, but the potential for 20M to 40M additional tonnes exist. What I am trying to illustrate here is the difference in potential profit and how sensitive the economic viability is to the price of Nickel. One has to realize that these tables outline the "potential" and are meant to provide a very course guideline as to what that potential of Langmuir may be. I have not adjusted the Micon estimates in light of the very promising news posted by ISM last week.
