grüsse an all
wer was gesagt hat war mir nicht so wichtig,
waren ja einige Leute der Reihe nach.
der Teil mit den Fragen fehlt, war mir dann doch zu lange (€)
a) Zum alten Präsidenten wurde wenig gesagt,
man hält das für einen normalen Prozess bei der (Weiter)entwicklung
einer Firma, dass man Leute gegen excellentes Personal auswechselt.
b) Die zwei Neuen (Bruce/Mike) wurden nochmal ausdrücklich als
excellentes Team beschrieben, die Crowflight deutlich bei der
Weiterentwicklung unterstützen werden,
und so helfen werden den Cashflow und den Shareholder Value
zu steigern.
c) Mr.Paul Keller erklärte dann, dass man im Jahr 2007 (bis jetzt)
völlig im Zeitfenster der Planung sei.
Die Entwicklung der Mine gehe zügig voran.
Man hat auch viel (Zeit und Geld) darin investiert,
das Nickelkonzentrat, also die Qualität des Nickels
zu erhöhen und die Ressourcen voll auszuschöpfen. Also den eigentlichen Produktionsprozess optimiert.
Shapes und Head Frames sind konstruiert, werd ich nachreichen, was das genau ist.
d) Mr. Bernie Wilson sagte dann was zu der Permit (Genehmigung)
Es ist alles soweit eingereicht, was einzureichen ist, und man hat
ein gutes Verhältnis zur (Lokal)Regierung, die auch schon grünes Licht gegeben hat.
Man wartet jetzt nur auf die Entscheidung des Federal Governments (Landesregierung) und da aus dem Ministerium für Fischereiwesen.
Das dauert so in etwa 6-8 Monate, die Entscheidung sollte also (bald) kommen.
e) Dann hat noch jemand, bei dessen Namen ich mir nicht ganz sicher bin,
noch was zu den insgesamt 13 Properties gesagt, und nochmal ganz klar
das Potential, aller Liegenschaften betont das man sehe.
Auch die letztens erworben zwei sehe man als gute Investion in die Zukunft.
(excellent target potential!)
f) Aktuell arbeite, bzw. läßt man noch an den letzten Ergebnissen vom
Halfway Lake arbeiten, die stehen möglicherweise kurzfristig an.
Von denen erwarte man eine weitere Ressourcenerweiterung.

Kursstand: 26.845 $
Kursverlauf vom 31.10.2004 bis 12.09.2007 (log. Kerzenchartdarstellung / 1 Kerze = 1 Woche)
Kurz-Kommentierung: Bei Nickel kam es in den vergangenen Monaten nach einem Rallyehoch bei 54.200 $ zu einem massiven Kurssturz. Der Kursverlauf erreichte dabei eine bei 27,500 $ liegende starke Unterstützungszone. Darunter befindet sich die Oberkante eines Aufwärtstrendkanals über der sich der sich Nickel jetzt stabilisieren kann. Eine erste Ausbruchsbewegung aus dem steilen Abwärtstrend der Vormonate wurde zunächst nochmals abverkauft, Nickel hält sich aber über dem letzten Tief bei 24.885 $. Gelingt jetzt der Ausbruch über die 27.505 $ auf Wochenschlusskursbasis dann ist eine Erholung bis in den Bereich 34750 $ zu erwarten. Nur ein Rückfall unter 24.885 $ würde nochmals eine Ausdehnung der Korrektur bis in den Bereich 17.750-18500 $ nach sich ziehen.

*Crowflight Reports New Inferred Nickel Resources for Deposits
Near Bucko Mine
==================================================
CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (Crowflight, the Company) (TSX Venture
Exchange: CML) is pleased to present National Instrument 43-101
compliant mineral resource estimates for the M11A, Apex, Bowden Lake
and Halfway Lake deposits in the Thompson Nickel Belt South Project
Area, all located within approximately 25 kilometres of the Company's
Bucko Lake Nickel Project in Manitoba. Inferred Resources for each area
were calculated based on recent exploration and historical drill hole
data and were prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of
Mining, Metal, and Petroleum (CIM) definition standards regarding
Mineral Resources and Reserves. The results are presented below in
Table 1 and Charts 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a location map of the deposits
relative to planned operations at Bucko Lake.
Of particular note is the large tonnage Inferred Resource contained
within the Bowden Lake Deposit of 63 million tonnes grading 0.68%
nickel (at a 0.5% nickel cut-off grade) and the relatively high grade
Inferred Resource at Halfway Lake of 1.1 million tonnes grading 1.08%
nickel (at a 0.7% nickel cut-off grade).
Due to the preliminary stage of economic modelling for each deposit,
the Inferred Resources of each zone are presented in Table 1 using a
range of grade cut-off values. The cut-off values chosen approximate
concentrations of contained nickel that, given the 24 month average
market metal prices, could possibly be exploited economically.
Greg Collins, Crowflight's Vice President of Exploration commented: "We
are encouraged by these results as they quantify for the first time the
untapped resource potential of our other Manitoba projects. Exploration
work conducted by our exploration team and partner Xstrata over the
past few years has led to the definition of quality nickel resources in
close proximity to planned operations at the Bucko Mine. The Company
will be evaluating the development potential of these resources in the
context of our ongoing exploration activities in the belt."

Lake Deposits

* Not calculated at the given Nickel cut-off grade
Mike Hoffman, the new President and CEO of Crowflight commented, "The
new inferred resources represent another milestone in the evolution of
Crowflight. It demonstrates the potential of the Crowflight Thompson
Nickel Belt properties located near the Bucko deposit for future
incremental mill feed or a potential stand alone project. Quantifying
the inferred resources allow the team at Crowflight to study potential
development scenarios and prioritize future exploration and development
activities."
M11A Deposit:
The M11A deposit consists of several small lenses of higher
concentration nickel mineralization within larger zones of low grade
nickel discovered by Falconbridge during the 1970s. The deposit is
located within 4 kilometres of the Bucko Lake mill. In 2006, a higher
grade nickel zone referred to as M11A North was discovered, which has
been the subject of recent drilling (refer to press releases dated
March 28, 2006, April 20, 2006 and May 8, 2007). The new Inferred
Resource estimate is based on 64 historical holes drilled by
Falconbridge and 19 holes drilled by Crowflight and its former
operating partner Xstrata Nickel during 2006 and 2007. Plans for this
resource include the evaluation of the potential of this resource to
supplement Bucko mill feed in the future. Exploration potential in the
vicinity of the deposit remains favourable for resource expansion.
Apex Deposit:
The deposit was discovered by Crowflight and its former operating
partner Xstrata Nickel in 2006 (see press releases dated April 27,
2006, July 7, 2006 and May 8, 2007) and is located approximately 5
kilometres from the Bucko Lake mill. The Inferred resource presented is
based on 13 holes totalling 4,263 metres drilled during 2006 and 2007.
The deposit retains exploration potential for expansion at depth and
along strike.
Halfway Lake:
The Halfway Lake deposit is located approximately 25 kilometres north
of the town of Wabowden and the mill at Bucko Lake. Mineralization at
Halfway Lake was first discovered by Falconbridge in 1995. In 2007,
Crowflight followed up favourable intercepts with the goal of further
assessing resource potential of the area and establishing inferred
resources. Crowflight drilled 2 holes in 2007 intersecting widths of
mineralization in excess of 9 meters grading 1.4% nickel (see press
release dated May 31, 2007). The Inferred Resource presented is based
on 9 historical holes drilled by Falconbridge and 4 holes drilled by
Crowflight and its former operating partner Xstrata Nickel. The deposit
is located in an under-explored portion of the belt and retains the
potential for additional resource expansion.
Bowden Lake:
The Bowden Lake deposit is located under Bowden Lake adjacent to the
Wabowden townsite, approximately 5 kilometres from Bucko Lake. The
deposit consists of large volumes of mineralized ultramafic rock over a
strike length of >2.5km. Historical, but non NI 43-101 compliant
resource calculations reported by Falconbridge indicated that this
deposit hosts large volumes of lower grade nickel sulphide
mineralization. In 2005, former operating partner Xstrata Nickel
drilled 7 holes from the surface of Bowden Lake to further evaluate a
corridor of elevated nickel content. The updated resource presented in
this press release incorporates historical drilling from 66 holes, and
7 holes drilled in 2005. Crowflight plans to study potential
development scenarios over the coming months.
Mineral Resource Estimate
The resource calculations were completed by Crowflight personnel under
the supervision of Greg Collins, Qualified Person for the programs, and
a professional geoscientist experienced in the determination of mineral
resources and reserves. The resource estimates were based on geological
data collected by representatives from Crowflight and chemical analysis
provided by ALS Chemex. The update incorporates historical exploration
information collected by Falconbridge and recent data collected by
Crowflight under a Joint Venture partnership with Xstrata Nickel. The
resource estimates incorporate the results from 139 historical diamond
drill holes totalling 48,130 metres and 43 recent holes totalling
17,420 metres drilled at four separate zones during the period from
January 2005 to May 2007. Please refer to Figure 1 for an illustration
of the location of the deposits. Please refer to news releases dated
April 20, 2006, April 27, 2006, May 11, 2006, July 11, 2006, May 8,
2007, and May 31, 2007 for information concerning mineralized
intercepts.
The determination technique of the mineral resources was based on
geostatistical block modeling using Gemcom Software utilizing the
inverse distance squared method of grade interpolation. The database
consisted of 182 surface diamond drill holes from four project areas,
including recent holes completed by Crowflight during the 2005 - 2007
drill campaigns. Minimum composite lengths were 1.5 metres. Density of
material was assigned based on average bulk density of mineralized
intervals based on available density measurements. The Inferred
Resource calculation used a 150 metre search ellipse with minimums of
two drill holes and five samples per block. A 0.5% nickel cut-off grade
was used to constrain the interpolation model. It should be noted that
Mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated
economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially
affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation,
socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
Qualified Person Comments/Quality Control Procedures
This press release has been prepared and reviewed by Mr. Greg Collins,
P. Geo., Crowflight's Vice President of Exploration, a Qualified Person
under the NI 43-101 guidelines. The resource estimate has been prepared
in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 and form NI 43-101F1,
which requires that the estimate be prepared in accordance with the
"CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as
prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and as
adopted by CIM Council, November 14, 2004."
The core sampling method applied during the 2005-2007 drill campaigns
followed NI 43-101 requirements and procedures as set forth in the
Diamond Drill Standard Procedures developed by Falconbridge Limited.
One control standard and one blank were inserted per 40 samples. Three
different internal control standards representing different grades were
utilized and the standard was selected with similar grade as the
samples submitted. All diamond drill core samples collected during the
2005-2007 drill program were sent to the primary laboratory of ALS
Chemex in Thunder Bay for preparation and were subsequently analyzed in
Vancouver. Fire assays were performed on all the samples for Gold and
PGE's which undergo an ICP-AES finish and Sodium Peroxide Fusion. All
other metals undergo an ICP-AES finish.
Granting of Crowflight Stock Options
Further to the press release dated September 10, 2007 announcing
management changes at Crowflight, one million options at a strike price
of $0.60 per share have been granted to Mike Hoffman, the new President
and CEO of Crowflight. In addition, Bruce Humphrey, the new Chairman
and Director of Crowflight, has been granted 500,000 options at $0.60
per share. The options granted will vest in quarterly increments over
the course of two years as per the terms of the Crowflight Stock Option

Inferred ist nur die vermutete Grösse einer Resource. Da kann also noch sehr viel passieren. Bei den Indicated Resources ist die Resource schon näher definiert. Measured Resources ist die höchste Stufe. Da steht ziemlich genau fest welche Grades, Rohstoffdichte etc. die Resource aufweisst.
__________________________________________________
Besitzer von Zinspapieren schlafen gut; Aktienbesitzer dagegen leben gut
Crowflight Minerals (WKN 358036; CML) legte eine erste Ressourcenbasis für seine Nickel-Lagerstätten
abseits der zur Zeit im Aufbau für die Produktion befindlichen Bucko Mine vor. Es handelt sich dabei um die
vier Crowflight Nickel-Projekte namens M11A, Apex, Bowden Lake and Halfway Lake. Insbesondere
die Größe von Bowden Lake ist nach einem 0,5 % Nickel - Verschnitt mit 63 Millionen Tonnen mit 0,68
% Ni sehr gut!
Zum Vergleich: In Michigan geht nun eine Nickelmine von Rio Tinto
mit unter 10 Mio. Tonnen in Betrieb! Auch Halfway Lake kommt nach
diesen strengen kanadischen Standards, die von unabhängigen Geologen
bestätigt werden müssen, auf über 1 Mio. Tonne mit über 1 % Nickel.
Und diese Ressourcen sind ja eigentlich nur ein kleines Zubrot zur Bu-
cko Mine. Diese soll ab 2008 jährlich 10 Mio. Pfund Nickel produzie-
ren. Laut bankfähiger Machbarkeitsstudie werden bei Nickelpreisen
von 10 USD je Pfund (aktuell 14,13 USD) jährliche
Cash Flows von 77,7 Mio. CAD generiert. Bei 14
USD wären es sogar 123 Mio. CAD Cash Flow. Bei
einer Börsenbewertung von 170 Mio. CAD (30 Mio.
Cash in der Kasse) entspricht dies einer spottbilligen
1,4 bis 2,1-fachen Cash-Flow-Bewertung! Sollte der Nickelpreis seinen jüngsten Turnaround bestätigen
und wieder in Richtung 18-20 USD aufbrechen, dann dürfte es für Aktien wie Crowflight oder auch Mus-
tang kein Halten mehr geben. Beide würden dann zu Übernahmekandidaten und in die Fußstapfen der jüngsten Nickel-Übernahmen wie Lionore treten.
