AN Australian junior has flown under the investment radar to become the first foreign- owned group to put its foot on a growing portfolio of Indian iron ore assets which it plans to exploit and de-risk using Chinese technology.

At the same time, NSL Consolidated, previously NSL Health, has secured a thermal coal asset in Queensland which it plans to market in India, offering a potential exploration target of 500-600 million tonnes.

But for the time being at least, the junior is happy to continue talks with a number of Chinese investors as it tries to shore up an offtake/finance arrangement to cover an initial $US2.3 million ($A2.17 million), 500,000 tonne per annum beneficiation plant at Kurnool in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, to treat ore from its Kuja and Mangal deposits.

With $A2 million in its kitty, other funding options for NSL could include a project loan and debt or equity facilities.

Proposed operations would include not only the plant but a laboratory, both to be located at the company’s stockyard site near its Kuja deposit.

Both Kuja and the nearby Mangal deposits will sustain initial magnetite concentrate volumes of 250,000 tonnes per annum with shipments through the Krishnapatnam port, a new modern, privately owned facility designed to handle 14Mtpa of iron ore with capability for Cape sized vessels.

NSL already has a Port Services Agreement for a minimum of 400,000tpa of iron ore allocation with incentives for higher throughput.

Production is scheduled to start by mid-next year after a nine-month construction and commissioning phase.

While small compared to iron ore volumes from Western Australia, this rate still delivers around $800,000 in monthly free cash to the group.

The group continues to hold talks with China Metallurgical Mining Corporation, a group it held a previous memorandum of understanding with.

In fact, it was CMMC that introduced NSL to its preferred plant equipment provider Shanghai Minggong Heavy Equipment Company, with which it also has a signed MoU.

It expects to soon place an order for Kurnool’s fabrication in China before its ultimate destination in India, once both parties have finalised formal purchase agreements.

In modular form, the plant has been designed so it can be easily expanded.

“We will finish commissioning by the end of the first quarter next year, with site works starting in September and phased commissioning to start in December and steady state production thereafter,” NSL managing director and chief executive Cedric Goode told MiningNewsPremium.net.

“We are talking to multiple Chinese parties, but I am holding back on giving away the offtake so that I can leverage work with the Chinese to obtain some additional funding to expand the business more quickly.”

In the two-and-a-half years since entering India, NSL has quietly gone about building its portfolio, spending $A10 million on the Kuja and Mangal project acquisitions, undertaking a trial mining campaign which confirmed the suitability of the 25-27% iron material to upgrade to 58-61% iron, and finalising a port access agreement after lengthy due diligence.

In the longer term it is targeting rates of 3 million tonnes per annum from India when standalone projects like its combined DSO and magnetite AP14 play, located 600 kilometres away in Karimnagar, become a reality.

A banded magnetite project, AP14 has an exploration target of 62-125Mt of material.

Goode said the group had a current basket of 25 projects in the country in not only Andhra Pradesh, but Goa, Karnataka and Orissa, of which 10 are well progressed.

The successful development of Kurnool also opens up a number of additional opportunities for the group either through complementary assets or third party ore treatment.

“Because we are using Chinese-based technology, we have had approaches on toll milling from third parties, especially when you consider that in India ore below a grade of 45% iron is considered waste,” Goode said.

“The Chinese love what we’re doing because they can’t get access to India and see us as their potential vehicle into the country.”

In setting its sights on India, NSL elected to stay small and establish a local connection and subsequent knowledge to focus on magnetite deposits, a key focus of the Indian government, which is keen to grow downstream processing in the country in a bid to unlock further potential.

Its local partner is Natural Resources Consulting, which operates under Indian group Podar Enterprises.

While initially targeting exports (India provides about 20% of China’s seaborne demand), Goode says the company could look to sell product into the local market, particularly as domestic demand for the steel industry is forecast to grow by 10% year-on-year.

“We could look from having just a beneficiated product into more pelletisation,” he said.

Goode said while DSO opportunities remained in India, price expectations had gone through the roof, adding it was actively trying to get ahead of the project curve.

Acknowledging the country still had problems when it came to sovereign risk, his advice to industry peers was to undertake long and exhaustive legal due diligence on every asset, and ensure the veracity of title.

“Due diligence is very important, but it has been difficult to promote India to an Australian investor, especially when it comes to timelines and expectations,” he said.

“India as a country is progressing, they are trying hard, but the key thing is to allow time.”

...aufgemacht....!!!

Hahahahha ;-)))

mini Taschengeld investiert bin. Komm einfach z.Zt. nirgendwo anders raus, will ich auch nich...
Werd mir den Verlauf aber mal ganz gemütlich anschauen. Was mit dir, drin..??

hat ganz schön gerockt die letzten 30min. Selten sowas gesehen in der Kürze der Zeit. Bin mal auf den Umsatz gespannt. SK 11c

 

 

das ist mal ne Ansage.. über 57% plus. Bin echt mal auf heute Nacht gespannt, ist das fett ;-)  

exploration target in Eromanga Basin

www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/...anga-basin-17949.html

NSL Consolidated (ASX: NSL) has now completed the final due diligence and has settled on the acquisition of four EPC Applications in the highly prospective Eromanga Basin in south-western Queensland.

Highlighting the potential of the newly acquired projects is the strategic location adjacent to similar projects held by East Energy Resources (ASX: EER) and the soon to be listed International Coal (ASX: ICX).

An independent geologist’s report in relation to three of the EPC Applications in the Winton Formation has established an exploration target of between 6.6 billion and 18.1 billion tonnes of thermal coal.

The report confirms that the Winton Formation is the main targeted coal-bearing structure, similar in mineralisation style to East Energy Resources 1.2 billion tonne JORC Inferred Resource at the Blackall Coal Deposit.

The fourth application has an exploration target of between 500 million and 600 million tonnes of thermal coal.

Cedric Goode, manager director, said that the increased exploration target at the projects was a significant first step in their potential development.

“We are delighted and excited by the initial independent geological review at the projects.

"Clearly there is a lot of initial promise shown at the projects, and we will now move on to evaluating the best way to progress the projects with an initial exploration program, including drilling.”

In total the projects cover an extensive 2261 square kilometres.

In regards to infrastructure, the project area is located 62 kilometres due east of Mount Morris in south western Queensland.

The railway line is 34 kilometres south of the project area, and continues to the port in Brisbane, with surrounding infrastructure including rail and a major road, the Landsborough Highway (A2).

The highway runs north-south between the Capricorn Highway and the Warrego Highway which is located 165 kilometres to the east of the tenement area.

The project area is bisected by the Charleville-Adavale Road.

 

oder 6,6-18.1 Mrd.Tonnen als Explorationsziel bekannt gibt.;-))

Dazu noch das eigentliche Eisenerzprojekt, aufgrund dessen der CEO in China weilte...

Da ist noch Luft nach oben.;-)

musste kaufen  führte kein weg dran vorbei....

 

und alles Gute nach Australien  

rakete... viel zu spät entdeckt - na mal sehen, vielleicht verliert sie ja nochmal an höhe, jetzt einsteigen is mir zu riskant, auch wenn die news ein hammer sind.... damn!

 

Der Huster empfiehlt NSL, ein paar Tage spaeter "Hammernews"....hmmm.....wenn man nicht wuesste, dass die Empfehlung vom Goldreport kommt, so koennte man an eine grosse Lemmingaktion denken.

Bin hier nach wie vor nicht dabei und werde das auch nicht tun. Wuensche euch aber viel Glueck und reichlich Gewinn....

ein nettes Ei gelegt.

Ich habe mir den Kursverlauf gestern Nacht angeschaut.

Bis zur Börseneröffnung, gabe es bids bis 0,16$...die wurden mit Handelsbeginn alle rausgenommen und man eröffnete bei 0,10$.

Normal war das nicht.

noch ein bissi richtung süden, dann geht meine order durch und darfs gerne nur noch gegen norden gehen! :)

 

so schlau gewählt, ich meine den Handel nach der Meldung nochmal für die letzten fünf Minuten aufzunehmen. Da wurde ja schon fast panikartig gekauft und die Wenigsten konnten vernünftig reagieren. Wär besser gewesen die hätten den Kurs bis heute ausgesetzt, dann hätte sich der Anstieg wohl auch relativiert.
Hier sitzen einfach noch zu viele Trader auf einem satten Gewinn und der muss ersteinmal für einen kompletten Aktionärswechsel verarbeitet werden.
Der Umsatz stimmt schonmal.  

0,05 EUR wurde leider nicht bedient und ich ärgerte mich schon so knauserig gewesen zu sein nicht für 0,061 zu kaufen. Der heutige Kursrücksetzer war nach gestern zu erwarten und für mich eine klasse Einstiegsmöglichkeit. Solche Aussagen wie in der Quelle von Posting #6, dass die Geologen davon ausgehen, dass das Projekt ein Potential zwischen 6-18 Milliarden Tonnen Kohle hat, dürfen nicht ohne Begründung öffentlich bekannt gegeben werden. Vergleicht mal die Kurse von Unternehmen in Australien die schon Kohle fördern aber "nur" im Bereich von Millionen Tonnen. Das ist purer Wahnsinn und wird hier mit steigenden Kursen früher oder später belohnt. Ende des Jahres bzw. Anfang nächsten Jahres wird es also fast schon egal sein, für einen Cent teurer oder günstiger gekauft zu haben.  Darum werde ich mich auch nicht ärgern sollte der Kurs nochmal um 2 bis 3 Cent zurücksetzen.

 

finde ich die Story hier mittlerweile extremst spannend, ähnlich wie bei Indo.
Hier nochmal die Präsentation von Di letzter Woche

ist sehr interessant.

Das Kohleprojekt kommt noch oben drauf..., könnte sich später aber als das main project entwickeln,wenn die Schätzungen JORC konform sein sollten und sich bestätigen.

Dann gehörten die mit zu den größten Kohleproduzenten.

ist die letzten Tage auch schön durchgetauscht worden. SK 0,9c  +4,65%  

wurden knapp 42Mio Stk gehandelt. Das entspricht bei einem Free-Float von ca. 120Mio Stk in etwa 35%.
Top 40 / 55%, nur MM 25%!!
