neue news:
Looking ahead, Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp’s (CVE:QRE) (OTCQX:QREDF) president Peter Dickie is "greatly encouraged", after last week's significant increase in resources at the company’s Elk Creek niobium rare earth element project in southeastern Nebraska.
Earlier this month, the company released an updated NI 43-101 compliant estimate for the project, which was prepared by Tetra Tech Wardrop, adding an indicated resource.
The new report added a higher grade indicated resource of 19.3 million tonnes grading 0.67% niobium (Nb2O5), at a 0.4% niobium cut-off grade, for 129,182 contained niobium oxide tonnes.
Meanwhile, inferred resources increased from 80.1 million tonnes grading 0.62% niobium in the last estimate in April 2011 to 83.3 million tonnes grading 0.63% niobium for 523,844 tonnes of contained niobium oxide.
Dickie says the company's future plan is to focus on completing the metallurgy work for the property - a multi-month process that commenced late in 2011. The metallurgy work will unveil not only recovery rates, but also optimal processing methods to achieve these rates, Dickie says.
The metallurgical test program is on-going, and is based on composite samples of drill core obtained from last year. This work is being conducted at the Hazen Research facility in Golden, Colorado.
The Elk Creek Carbonatite is the only primary niobium deposit known to be under development in the U.S., and the highest grade undeveloped niobium deposit in North America, said Quantum. It is an oval shaped magnetic and gravity anomaly about seven kilometres in diameter.
Niobium is mainly used in the form of ferro-niobium to produce HSLA (High Strength, Low Alloy) steel for use in automotive, structural and pipeline industries. The market for ferro-niobium has grown an average of 10% per year for the past decade, and is forecast to continue that growth pattern in the coming years.
Currently, the U.S. imports 100 percent of its niobium needs. Niobium, which is listed as a strategic metal, is being considered for national stockpiling not only in the U.S., but also in China and several European countries.
Dickie says that the project has prompted discussions with several potential partners, with a drill program aimed at expanding and upgrading the resource classification expected to start immediately should one of these partnerships come to fruition.
"From a shareholder and dilution point of view, development of the project will be best achieved with a partnership, with several parties now kicking the tires and looking at data," says the company's president.
"Very big dominant players in the market, such as CBMM in Brazil, and Niobec (Iamgold) in Canada are greatly expanding their niobium production capacity indicating they are confident in the market going forward," says Dickie.
Based on projected growth patterns current producers are forecasting, the possibility of a niobium shortage by the end of the decade is real, opening the door for other players.
"There are very few primary niobium deposits currently being developed. With our combination of grade, tonnage and location, I certainly think our project is head and shoulders above the rest," adds Dickie.
The full NI 43-101 report for the property is due in the next month, in which Dickie expects a recommended first and second phase drill program aimed at increasing both the indicated and inferred resource base, and expanding on the higher grade portions of the deposit. The start of a preliminary economic assessment report for the project, which will use findings from the updated resource report, is awaiting metallurgy results.
The company said the recent resource update was the result of an additional three holes completed in 2011 at the Elk Creek niobium deposit, which is an elongated, east-west orientated mineral occurrence in excess of 800 metres along strike. The deposit remains open to the east, west and at depth, and is hosted by the Elk Creek Carbonatite - an intrusive complex of carbonatite and related rocks.
Dickie says the company has received interest from a variety of institutions due to the unique size and nature of the deposit, with research work underway at the University of Nebraska and the University of Colorado, and with additional studies being done by the USGS.
Elk Creek was originally developed during the 1970s and 1980s, when Molycorp (NYSE:MCP) completed over 150,000 feet of drilling. Quantum Rare Earths secured the project in May of 2010, and immediately completed a compilation and digitization of all historic data.
Some recent drill results from the site include hole NEC11-001, which returned 0.73 percent of niobium (Nb2O5) over 235.22 metres, including 54 metres of 1.17 percent.

The minister of mines and geology of the Republic of Congo has now approved Sundance's application to develop and mine the high grade iron ore deposit.
Nabeba will help underpin Stage One of the Mbalam development in which 35 million tonnes of direct shipping ore quality iron ore will be produced annually for at least 10 years.
Mr Giulio Casello MD & CEO of Sundance Resources Limited said that the approval is a key milestone for Sundance. The project is expected to contribute more than USD 2 billion to the Republic of Congo's economy in its first 10 years of operation.

Gold producer Focus Minerals (ASX: FML) has discovered high grade gold at some very strategically located targets which are in close to the company's Three Mile Hill processing plant.
The importance of the discovery is that it validates the company's strategy of developing near-plant targets to bolster gold production over the mid-term.
Highlights include 10 metres at 21 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 51 metres, including the bonanza 1 metres at 196g/t gold; 4 metres at 10.5g/t gold from 113 metres, including 1 metre at 34.5g/t gold; and 4 metres at 6.7g/t gold from 118 metres, including 1 metre at 21.9g/t gold.
The drilling program has focused on a series of targets that run along a key historic production corridor in Focus' Greater Coolgardie northern tenements where a dolerite rock package hosts a number of different deposits.
These include the historic mines of Three Mile Hill, Greenfields, Mystery Mint and Patricia Jean, which have known total historic production of 458,000 gold ounces.
Focus is on track to produce 175,000 gold ounces from its mining operations in Laverton and Coolgardie during financial year 2012. In Coolgardie, Focus is currently in production from two underground mines and one open pit operation, processing ore through its 100% owned 1.2Mtpa Three Mile Hill gold plant.
The company is due to commence production from another open pit operation known as Greenfields during the September 2012 quarter.
Focus: one of the Largest Domestic Gold Producers
The gold production success of Focus has positioned the company as one of the largest domestic producers, with 47,489 ounces during the March 2012 quarter - which only trails behind Evolution, St Barbara, Alacer and Newcrest.
Focus is now aiming for gold production of 200,000 ounces in financial year 2013, and based on the current spot price of A$1520 an ounce - this would generate gross revenue of over A$300 million.

Neue Ressource abgegrenzt
Der australische Goldproduzent Focus Minerals (WKN A0F610) kann mit exzellenten Ergebnissen von den jüngsten Explorationsaktivitäten in der Näher seiner Verarbeitungsanlage Three Mile Hill in Coolgardie, Western Australia, aufwarten. Nicht nur, dass man eine neue Ressource von 48.000 Unzen Gold meldet, auch die präsentierten Bohrergebnisse können sich sehen lassen.
Das Unternehmen, das im Geschäftsjahr 2012 175.000 Unzen Gold von seinen Minen in Laverton und Coolgardie produzieren will, fördert auf Coolgardie derzeit aus zwei Untertageminen und einer Tagebaugrube. Das Erz wird in der Three Mile Hill-Mühle verarbeitet, die eine Durchsatzkapazität von 1,2 Mio. Tonnen pro Jahr hat. Schon im Septemberquartal soll die Produktion auf einer weiteren Tagebaugrube namens Greenfields anlaufen.
Mit dem jüngsten Bohrprogramm konzentrierte sich Focus auf eine Reihe von Zielen, die in einem historischen Produktionskorridor im Norden der Coolgardie-Liegenschaft des Unternehmens liegen. Dort befinden sich auch die historischen Minen Three Mile Hill, Greenfields, Mystery Mint und Patricia Jean, die in der Vergangenheit insgesamt 458.000 Unzen Gold produzierten.
Basierend auf dem Bohrprogramm hat Focus Minerals nun eine neue Ressource von 48.000 Unzen Gold abgegrenzt und ein sehr aussichtsreiches Bohrziel im Süden der Patricia Jean-Grube bestätigt. Nicht zu verachten: Alle Lagerstätten, die man derzeit angeht, liegen in weniger als 10 Kilometer Entfernung zur Verarbeitungsanlage des Unternehmens.
Ziel des Explorationsprogramms war es, bereits identifizierte Ziele in der Nähe der Three Mile Hill-Anlage zu testen und zu entwickeln, damit diese in die mittelfristige Produktionsplanung von Focus einbezogen werden können. Die Erfolge können sich dabei sehen lassen. Die Highlights der Bohrungen auf diesen Lagerstätten waren 10 Meter mit 21,0 Gramm Gold pro Tonne – darin enthalten ein Abschnitt von 1 Meter mit 196 Gramm Gold je Tonne –, 4 Meter mit 10,5 Gramm Gold pro Tonne mit 34,5 Gramm pro Tonne über 1 Meter sowie 4 Meter mit 6,7 Gramm des gelben Metalls je Tonne, in denen ein Abschnitt von 1 Meter Länge 21,9 Gramm Gold pro Tonne erbrachte.
Wie Focus Minerals’ CEO Campbell Baird erklärte, verfügt sein Unternehmen über eine Reihe signifikanter Assets in unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsstadien in Coolgardie, was es Focus erlauben werde, die Three Mile Hill-Anlage über einen sehr langen Zeitraum mit einem stabilen und verlässlichen Zufluss an Material zu versorgen.
In Übereinstimmung mit der kurzfristigen Entwicklungsstrategie des Unternehmens wird Focus die historische Greenfields-Grube (1,0 Mio. Tonnen mit 1,7 Gramm Gold je Tonne) im nächsten Quartal wieder in Produktion bringen. Focus hatte auf dem Gebiet in den letzten 12 Monaten ein umfassendes Explorationsprogramm und Wirtschaftlichkeitsprüfungen durchgeführt.
Darüber hinaus wird man sich der Exploration und Bewertung signifikanter Lagerstätten auf den Gebieten Lindsays, Brilliant und Patricia Jean widmen.
Es bestätigt sich wieder einmal die alte Geologenweisheit, dass die größte Chance, neue Erzfunde zu machen, in der Nähe der alten Funde besteht. Wir betrachten das gerade abgeschlossene Explorationsprogramm von Focus Minerals als Erfolg für das Unternehmen. Sollten sich die jetzt angegangenen Lagerstätten als wirtschaftlich abbaubar erweisen, dürfte das dazu führen, dass die Lebensdauer der Minen steigt – oder aber die Produktion erhöht wird. Wir sind gespannt auf die weiteren Entwicklungen.
Im aktuellen Marktumfeld werden allerdings solche mittel- und langfristig positiven Nachrichten oft nicht oder erst mit größerer Verspätung honoriert. Es bleibt daher abzuwarten, ob sich der Kurs der Focus-Minerals-Aktie in der nächsten Zeit wieder erholen kann.
Beweise in ihren Bann zu ziehen bzw. ihren Profit daraus.
Traurig aber wahr!!!

Nichts für Ungut!
Focus Minerals (ASX:FML) has completed Stage 2 drilling of Bonnie Vale in Coolgardie, Western Australia.
Highlight results include 5 meters at 17.8 g/t gold.
The purpose of Stage 2 was to test the potential of additional mineralisation down-dip and along strike of the main mineralised structures and follow up the significant intersections earlier this year, which included 6 metres at 9.45 g/t.
Focus is currently planning additional drill holes to test the size and grade of the quartz reefs delineated in Stages 1 and 2 of the Bonnie Vale exploration.
Focus also owns the 1.45Mtpa Barnicoat mill in Laverton which has been on care and maintenance since 2009.
In addition to its gold interests, Focus and Cobre Montana (ASX:CXB) have started the Coolgardie Rare Metals Venture to evaluate lithium and rare metals within their 20 prospecting licences and 2 mining leases.
These cover Lepidolite Hill where, in addition to lithium, the mica contains high concentrations of rubidium as well as Tantalum Hill, a well-documented tantalite occurrence.
Cobre is sole funding exploration to the point of committing to a definitive feasibility study within five years of the commencement date.
The company is certainly well capitalised, holding around $80 million in cash within a capitalisation of $130 million.
