Alderon Resources neues Minenschnäppchen?

mal wieder ein Artikel von Goldinvest.de:

"Alderon Iron Ore startet Umweltgenehmigungsprozess

Der kanadische Eisenerz-Junior Alderon Iron Ore (WKN A1CS91) hat einen wichtigen Schritt bei der Entwicklung seines Eisenerzprojekts Kami in Quebec/Labrador gemacht. Das Unternehmen reichte die notwendigen Unterlagen ein, um den Prozess der Umweltfolgenbegutachtung durch die staatlichen und die Provinzbehörden einzuleiten. Darin ist auch die Möglichkeit vorgesehen, die zukünftige Jahresproduktion auf 16 Mio. Tonnen anzuheben.

Alderon hofft, die nötigen Genehmigungen rechtzeitig zu erhalten, um den Bau einer Mine Ende 2013 aufnehmen zu können, erklärte CEO Tayfun Eldern. Man habe die geplante Produktionsausweitung auf 16 Mio. Tonnen in die Dokumente eingearbeitet, um das Vertrauen in die Größe und die Qualität der Ressource sowie in die zukünftige Entwicklung auf dem Eisenerzmarkt zu demonstrieren, so Eldern weiter.

Bergbauanalyst Geordie Mark sieht grosses Potential im Eisenerzmarkt. Das wird sich auch auf die Alderon auswirken:

"In einem Interview mit der renommierten Publikation The Gold Report äußert sich Bergbauanalyst Geordie Mark von Haywood Securities positiv zu den Aussichten des Eisenerzmarktes und des kanadischen Eisenerzunternehmens Champion Minerals (WKN A0LF1C). Der Experte hat für die Champion-Aktie ein Kursziel von 4,20 Dollar vergeben.

Auf die Frage, wie sich die Ressource auf Champions Fermont-Liegenschaften mit der von Unternehmen in einem ähnlichen Entwicklungsstadium wie beispielsweise Alderon Resource vergleicht, antwortet Mark, dass Champion seiner Ansicht nach direkt mit Alderon und auch Consolidated Thompson zu vergleichen ist, da auch Champion über ausreichend Ressourcen verfüge, um über die Aufnahme der Produktion zu entscheiden.

Consolidated Thompsons Bloom Lake-Ressource hätten ähnliche Gehalte und mit 2 „Gigatonnen“ an definierten und den kanadischen Standards entsprechenden Eisenerzressourcen auf dem Portfolio im Fermont-Distrikt, unterstrichen von einer Ressource von mehr als 1 Gigatonne (Gt) auf dem Flagschiffprojekt Fire Lake North, sei  Champion gut positioniert, um sein Ressourcenportfolio zu nutzen, um in Produktion zu gehen und diese auszuweiten.

In diesem Artikel wird zwar hauptsächlich die Champion Minerals beurteilt, aber vieles davon trifft auch auf die Alderon zu:

"Die Analysten von TD Securities zeigen sich optimistisch in Bezug auf die Aussichten für Junior-Unternehmen aus dem Eisenerzsektor. Sie glauben, dass der globale Eisenerzmarkt im Verlauf von Chinas Fünfjahresplan 2011 bis 2015 um 7% pro Jahr wachsen wird. Das Angebot dürfte nach Ansicht der Experten knapp und der Preis des für die Stahlproduktion benötigten Metalls hoch bleiben. TD Securities glaubt zudem, dass neue Quellen von Eisenerz nötig sein werden, um die Nachfrage zu befriedigen.

Dennoch gehen die Experten davon aus, dass sich der Eisenerzpreis bis 2015 auf hohem Niveau leicht abschwächen wird. Sie prognostizieren für 2012 einen Preis von 145 USD pro Tonne Eisenerz, für 2013 gehen sie von 150 USD pro Tonne aus und von 145 USD pro Tonne für 2014. 2015 dürfte nach Ansicht von TD Securities der Eisenerzpreis auf 140 und 2016 auf 120 USD pro Tonne fallen.

"Alderon pegged as possible takeover target

In the Canadian iron ore business, everyone’s trying to guess who’ll be the next takeover play. One possibility is Alderon Iron Ore Corp (ADV-T3.24-0.01-0.31%).

The reason? Its pedigree. The Montreal-based junior has attracted the key players behind Consolidated Thompson, the biggest acquisition to date in the sector.

In addition, Alderon's major shareholders look as if they might be eager sellers at the right price. Altius Minerals (ALS-T11.210.040.36%), a savvy Newfoundland-based mineral royalty company, helped found Alderon and owns 33 per cent. It is thought to be open to a sale.

An arm of U.S. insurer Liberty Mutual Group is the second largest holder, with a 15 per cent interest acquired in January at $2.67 a share. Mainstream financial companies usually don't own junior mining companies.

Chinas größter Stahlproduzent investiert rund 194 Mio. CAD in Alderon Iron Ore

Der größte Stahlproduzent Chinas, die Hebei Iron & Steel Group, investiert rund 194 Mio. CAD in eine Beteiligung an dem kanadischen Eisenerzunternehmen Alderon Iron Ore (WKN A1JL1G). Damit will man sich den Zugang zu günstigerem Eisenerz sichern, um so die Produktionskosten der Stahlherstellung zu drücken.

Laut Hebei sei jetzt der ideale Zeitpunkt, um solche Investitionen zu tätigen, da der breite Markt in Bezug auf die Eisenerznachfrage vorsichtig geworden sei. Diese neueste Transaktion ist Teil der Bemühungen chinesischer Stahlhersteller, größere Kontrolle über ausländische Eisenerzvorkommen zu erlangen, da der Markt von einer Handvoll global agierender Produzenten dominiert wird.

http://www.goldinvest.de/index.php/chinas-groesster-stahlpro…  

Sie erhalten ihre Beteiligung mit einem Abschlag von lediglich 0.6% auf den letzten Börsenkurs. Mit dem kann ich gut leben. Und vor allem zeigt das Interesse der Chinese das Potential der Alderon auf. Weiter hat man nun auch noch einen sehr potenten Aktionär, was evtl. auch noch nützlich sein kann...

"...
Hebei wird zunächst 88,3 Mio. CAD oder 3,42 CAD je Aktie für einen Anteil von fast 20% an Alderon zahlen. Damit erhält man einen Abschlag von 0,6% auf den letzten Kurs des Unternehmens, teilten die Chinesen am heutigen Freitag mit. Im Anschluss wird Hebei weitere 105,7 Mio. CAD investieren. Damit sichert man sich das Recht, eine Beteiligung von 25% am Hauptprojekt von Alderon namens Kami zu erwerben. Darüber hinaus erhält Hebei so das Recht, 60% der jährlichen Eisenerzproduktion des Kami-Projekts abzunehmen.

Peking - (www.emfis.com) - Der große chinesische Stahlproduzent Hebei Iron & Steel Group kauft einen Anteil an dem kanadischen Eisenerzkonzern Alderon Iron Corp.

Wie das chinesische Rohstoffunternehmen mitteilte, bestehe dieser Anteilskauf über insgesamt 195 Millionen USD aus zwei Komponenten. Einerseits handele es sich um einen Erwerb von 20% an den Anteilen der nordamerikanischen Firma. Dazu komme eine direkte Beteiligung von 25% an dem Vorhaben Kami, welches den wertvollsten Posten bei Alderon darstelle. Die Chinesen hätten zudem das Recht erworben, bis zu 60% der Eisenerzproduktion aus Kami zu erwerben.


Eine interessante Begründung für den Erwerb

Weiter wurde mitgeteilt, daß die Chinesen auf diese Art und Weise günstiger an Eisenerz gelangen würden, als wenn sie selbständig exploren würden. Zudem sei die chinesische Firma, genauso wie die Weltmarktführer bei Eisenerz, wie Vale und Rio Tinto, Seite nach wie vor optimistisch gestimmt für die weitere Wirtschaftsentwicklung und den Eisenerzbedarf in China

for Newfoundland and Labrador

Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX: ADV) (NYSE MKT: AXX) ("Alderon" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that an independent Economic Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Kamistiatusset (“Kami”) Iron Ore Project indicates significant long-term economic benefits to Newfoundland and Labrador as well as other Canadian provinces, regional governments and communities.

The Kami Project is strategically located next to the mining towns of Wabush, Labrador City and Fermont. The Project will require approximately two years of construction, and once operational, the Project is expected to produce 8 million tonnes of concentrate per annum for 16 years. The EIA was commissioned and paid for by Alderon and is based on the data from Alderon’s Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), the results of which were released late last year (see below for a summary of the results of the PEA). The data used in the EIA was taken from and is fully supported by results of the PEA, highlighting the economically robust nature of the Kami Project.

The independent assessment estimates that the Kami Project will generate the following benefits for the people, communities and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador:
=> CDN $1.6 billion in direct, indirect and induced incomes to workers and local businesses
=> CDN $2.0 billion in total tax revenues
=> CDN $13.6 billion contribution to the provincial GDP
=> 24,000 person years of direct, indirect and induced employment during construction and operations

Chinas größter Stahlproduzent erhält grünes Licht für Investment in Alderon Iron
Die Hebei Iron & Steel Group, Chinas größter Stahlproduzent, hat grünes Licht erhalten, sein Investment in die kanadische Eisenerzgesellschaft Alderon Iron Ore (WKN A1JL1G) zu tätigen, berichtet die offizielle Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua News am Sonntag.

Bereits im April hatte Hebei Steel erklärt, dass man rund 194 Mio. CAD für einen Anteil von fast 20% an Alderon und von 25% an Alderons Eisenerzprojekt Kami im Labrador Trough zahlen werde. Zusätzlich wird der Deal Hebei das Recht verschaffen, 60% der Jahresproduktion des Kami-Projekts zu erwerben.

Diese Beteiligung habe nun die Zustimmung der höchsten Wirtschaftsplanungsbehörde der Volksrepublik, der National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), erhalten, erklärte Xinhua. Kami verfügt über nachgewiesene Reserven von rund 1,8 Mrd. Tonnen Eisenerz. Erwartet wird ein Ausstoß von 8 Mio. Tonnen pro Jahr, wenn 2015 wie geplant die Produktion anläuft, so die Nachrichtenagentur weiter.

Die Transaktion ist Teil der Bemühungen chinesischer Stahlproduzenten, größere Kontrolle über ausländische Eisenerzvorkommen zu erlangen, die ansonsten von nur einigen wenigen Konzernen kontrolliert werden. Die chinesischen Stahlwerke wurden vom Staat angehalten, bis 2015 mindestens die Hälfte ihrer Eisenerzimporte aus Projekten, die chinesischen Firmen gehören oder an denen chinesische Firmen beteiligt sind, zu beziehen.

Alderon Confirms a Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of Over 1 Billion Tonnes at 30% Iron

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/11/12 -- Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX: ADV)(NYSE MKT: AXX)(NYSE Amex: AXX) ("Alderon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the final mineral resource estimate on its Kamistiatusset ("Kami") Iron Ore Project in western Labrador. The estimate includes a Measured and Indicated mineral resource of 1.1 billion tonnes at 29.8% iron and an Inferred mineral resource of 277.4 million tonnes at 29.5% iron (refer to tables below for tonnage and grade details) based on a cut-off grade of 20% iron.

"We are extremely pleased with this final resource estimate for Kami," says Tayfun Eldem, President and CEO of Alderon. "The completion of each successive drill program has resulted in an increase in the mineral resource estimate, while continuing to confirm consistent grades. The final numbers clearly underline the potential and the value of the Kami Project. The Measured and Indicated mineral resources will form the basis for Kami's Feasibility Study that is expected to be completed before the end of this year."

- Die Ressorucen-Schätzungen werden nach jedem Bohrprogramm angehoben.
- Mit der Projektentwicklung ist man voll im Plan.

Meiner Meinung nach ist die Alderon nachwievor ein sehr interessantes Invest mit viel Phantasie und Potential für die Zukunft.

Alderon Secures Port Access and Enters into Bridge Financing Agreement

Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX: ADV)(NYSE MKT: AXX)(NYSE Amex: AXX) ("Alderon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement (the "Port Agreement") with the Sept-Iles Port Authority (the "Port") to ship up to 8 million metric tonnes of iron ore annually via the new multi-user deep water dock facility that the Port is constructing (see Alderon press release dated February 14, 2012).

"We are extremely pleased to have concluded this port agreement, which represents another significant milestone in the development of our Kami Iron Ore Project," says Tayfun Eldem, President and CEO of Alderon. "This agreement provides Alderon with confirmed access to the international iron ore markets and substantially de-risks the Kami Project."

Port Agreement Details

Pursuant to the Port Agreement, Alderon has reserved an annual capacity of 8 million metric tonnes of iron ore that it can ship through the Port. In order to finance the estimated $220 million cost of the new multi-user dock facility, the Port required binding commitments from the potential end-users to provide a portion of the necessary funds. This buy-in payment will constitute an advance on Alderon's future shipping fees (wharfage and equipment fees) and, as a result, Alderon will receive a discount on its shipping fees until the full amount of the buy-in payment has been repaid through the discount.

Based on its reserved annual capacity, Alderon's buy-in payment is $20.46 million, payable in two installments of $10.23 million each. The first installment of $10.23 million was paid upon signing of the Port Agreement and the second payment of $10.23 million is due no later than July 1, 2013. As security for the second payment, Alderon is required to provide an irrevocable guarantee of equivalent value.

The Port Agreement includes a base fee schedule regarding wharfage and equipment fees for iron ore loading for Alderon's shipping operations. The rates commence in 2014 and are on a sliding scale based on the volume of iron ore that is shipped. The term of the agreement is for 20 years from the execution date, with the option to renew for further five year terms, to a maximum of four renewals.

Bridge Financing Details

Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC ("LMM"), a subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Insurance, one of Alderon's strategic investment partners, provided a bridge loan to Alderon in the amount of $10.5 million in order for Alderon to make the first instalment payment and has agreed to provide a further $10.5 million, if necessary, in order for Alderon to obtain the guarantee required for the second installment. The intention is that the loan will be a short term bridge loan that will be repaid from the funds of the Hebei Iron & Steel Group ("Hebei") transaction after it closes.
