Stans Energy heavy rare earth Prod. 2012

allgemeinen Markt und im REE Markt federn lassen. Alle seltenen Erden Werte haben Korrekturen erfahren, bei Stans geht die Korrektur gerade los oder ist schon beendet, wer weiß das schon.

Alles in allem finde ich hält sich Stans dennoch in Ordnung für das, dass Sie so eine exorbitante Ralley hingelegt haben.

Hier habt ihr die neue Novemberpräsentation:

For decades, entrepreneurs have tried to strike it rich by gathering up  ugly potato-size rocks that carpet the global seabed. Known as manganese  nodules,  the rocks are plentiful in nickel, copper and cobalt, as well as  manganese and other elements, but lie miles down in inky darkness.  Building giant machines to vacuum them up, despite much study and  investment, has never proved to be economic.

Now, the frustrated visionaries are talking excitedly about the  possibility of belated success, and perhaps even profits.

The nodules turn out to contain so-called rare-earth minerals — elements  that have wide commercial and military application but have hit a  production roadblock. China, which controls some 95 percent of the  world’s supply, had blocked shipments, sounding political alarms around  the globe and a rush for alternatives. China ended its embargo late last month, but the hunt for other options continues.

So are seabed miners smiling at last?

“People are quite intrigued,” said James R. Hein, a geologist with the  United State Geological Survey who specializes in seabed minerals.  Depending on China’s behavior and the global reaction, he said, “rare  earths may be the driving force in the near future.”

In October, Dr. Hein and five colleagues from Germany presented a paper  on harvesting the nodules for their “rare and valuable metals.” They did  so at the annual meeting of the Underwater Mining Institute, a  professional group based at the University of Hawaii. The paper prompted visions of a fresh start.

“They really do add value,” Charles L. Morgan, chairman of the  institute, said of the rare earths in an interview. The result, he  added, is that the nodules have taken on a new luster. “People are  starting to think, ‘Well, maybe these things aren’t so dumb after  all.’ ”

Dr. Morgan said he was considering whether to start analyzing a  collection he oversees of 5,000 nodule samples from around the globe so  as to ascertain their rare-earth content. But he cautioned that the  field of seabed mining has a history of ups and downs.

“This new wrinkle may take them over the edge to make them truly  economic,” he said of the nodules. “But that remains to be seen.”

The elements known as rare earths number 17 in all and range from cerium and dysprosium to thulium and yttrium.

Their unique properties have resulted in their growing use in many  technologies of modern life. Applications include magnets, lasers, fiber  optics, computer disk drives, fluorescent lamps, rechargeable  batteries, catalytic converters, computer memory chips, X-ray tubes, high-temperature superconductors and the liquid-crystal displays of televisions and computer monitors.

The United States Geological Survey calls the rare elements “essential  for hundreds of applications” and likely candidates in the near future  for an “expanding array” of high-tech products. Supply shortages that go  on for a long time, the agency warns in a fact sheet, “would force  significant changes in many technological aspects of American society.”

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton recently called China’s export embargo a “wake-up call” for the world to find new resources.

Despite their name, most rare earths are not particularly rare. But  their geochemical properties mean they seldom concentrate into  economically exploitable ore pockets. During the last two decades, most  production has shifted to China because of  lower costs there and the  country’s record of lax regulation of environmental hazards. (The  processing of rare earths can create toxic byproducts.)

Scientists have known about rare earths in seabed rocks for decades,  seeing them as a curiosity. In 1968, Alan M. Ehrlich, a chemist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote a Ph.D. dissertation titled “Rare Earth Abundances in Manganese Nodules.”

In an interview, he expressed surprise at the interest of the seabed  miners, saying the concentrations were too low to power a nodule  renaissance.

The would-be miners agree. But they say rising global prices for the  more common metals found in the seabed rocks are increasing the allure.  Investors, they add, see the presence of the exotic elements as icing on  the cake.

“The global activity is tremendous,” said Dr. Hein of geological survey,  referring to undersea exploration as well as processing assessments on  land.

“Right now, rare earths are not the driving force,” he said. “But for copper and nickel, the prices are there.”

Dr. Hein said dwindling supplies of terrestrial copper — a key  ingredient of industrialization used in everything from wires and  switches to pipes and roofs — have forced miners on land to go after  increasingly low grades of ore and have raised interest in seabed  resources.

For instance, ore in the Chilean copper and gold mine that collapsed in  August, trapping 33 miners, bears concentrations of copper that measure  only a half percent, said Dr. Hein. “The nodules have 1 percent,” he  added, “so they’re twice as rich.”

The upshot is a new wave of global interest in vacuuming up the seabed nodules — rare earths and all.

“It’s getting more active,” said Dr. Morgan of the Underwater Mining  Institute. “Industrial people are starting to look at it again.”

Nicht verwechseln, dabei geht es um das Kalesay Beryllium Deposit, nicht um das Kuttesay 2 Deposit mit Heavy rare earth.

Also es ist praktisch wieder ein neuer Auftrag für eine andere Property, dass heißt "nicht weiter warten" sondern Stans gibt Gas und kommt im März 2011 mit einer JORC von dem Beryllium Deposit ...

Sieht man äußerst positiv :) Der Beryllium Wert INSITU liegt bei etwa 6MRD !!! Dies ist nach den historischen Ressourcen bewertet. Mal sehen, vielleicht kann auch dieser INSITU Wert erhöht werden. Denn Kutessay 2 und 3 erhöhen den REE Wert bestimmt deutlich und diese JORC kommt hoffentlich jetzt bald.

Also, nicht verwechseln mit der anderen JORC zu Kutessay 2 :)

Potentielle Abnehmer, alles jetzt schon organisiert, da bin ich baff aber sowas von. Kein Wunder steigen die gerade so an.

Und nicht wundern, wenn es morgen teurer ist :),
