new millennium resources (NML)     

LEEWINK - 28 Mar 2004 15:45

NML is due its interrim results now, last year it was the 28th of this month.

They are setting up a new site to explore/research/analyse and all the equipment to do this should be on site now, and drilling should start soon, all this extra news should be covered in the interims.

does anyone have any further positive views on this company ??

New Millennium Makes Progress With Diamond Exploration In Angola And Greenland

By Sally White

New Millennium Resources has changed drastically over the last four years since its introduction to AIM when it was a rare earth exploration company with a project in Greenland and a unique process for extracting niobium which had been developed in a crockpot. Minews treated it as a bit of a joke at the time, but since it undertook a change of management and switched to diamond exploration in Greenland as well as Angola the company deserves to be taken more seriously. Angola is rich in diamond resources, as those who are prospecting there are finding out sooner or later, but it scores on a similar scale with difficulties so the emphasis has now turned to Greenland.

New Millennium originally scaled back its Greenland exposure to concentrate on Angola, leaving itself with a painful A$5.2million write off in the 2004 accounts, and a 20 per cent free carry in a joint venture with Hudson Resources of Canada. This JV was set up in December 2003 on New Millenniums Greenland Sarfartog lease.

Hudson Resources has just announced that all of three core tests in its area have returned significant diamond counts. This, says Hudson Resources, confirms that in situ material is the source of the significantly diamondiferous samples collected in the 2004 exploration program. It establishes, it adds, that the Garnet Lake area of the site hosts its own diamondiferous kimberlite body.

Further drilling has now commenced in an effort to expand the size of the discovery and to test other targets identified, but not yet drilled, during the earlier spring programme that concluded in May this year. The programme is to find outcropping of kimberlite along the strike, and take larger samples to as to gain a better idea of the size and quality of the diamonds.

Meanwhile the new top management team at New Millennium team John Cross as managing director and Shane Healy as financial officer are having to call fairly fully on their considerable combined mining and finance experience slogging away in Angola. Fortunately, Shane Healy says, historically we have not had a problem raising cash. The company has just raised 500,000 via the issue of 12.5m shares at 4p.

In December 2003 New Millennium announced the acquisition of a 100 per cent interest in Angola Resources for A$207,000 in cash, plus the issue of 18 million shares and options to purchase a further 10 million shares in New Millennium at A$0.20. The board made this decision on a lead time to cash flow basis believing that Angola Resources would produce cash flows sooner than other existing early stage projects.

New Millennium has since made considerable progress on the ground. Fully equipped working plant and equipment for mining alluvial diamonds was bought in South Africa last year for US$1.26million with funds from a private placing. This kit has been freighted up to join the US$2million worth of other equipment on the remote site. Mine and logistic management is in place.

So it now has a fully operational diamond mining plant and equipment on site at Rio Lapi. And it is very happy with its licence, in a rich area, downstream of Alrosas giant operating Catoca mine, and with Petra working to the south. Four rivers flow through the area, so there is no lack of water and there is an airport 54 kms to the south west and an all-weather road to Luanda.

Application has been made for a kimberlite exploration license to explore the eleven magnetic anomalies discovered on the lease. Getting that is likely to be a delicate task as prior preliminary work done on the site by Catoca for ENDIAMA, the Angolan government diamond arm, has shown it to be very promising indeed. As New Millenniums John Cross comments with obvious feeling: Competition in this region is fierce.

Given the urgency of identifying the kimberlite potential, and to speed up chances of a deal with a major partner, New Millennium has switched equipment over to the kimberlite prospect. Interest is already being shown. That has put the work in the alluvial project back six months, but the payoff should be worth it.

New Millennium is also keen for some good Angolan news that could lure in a major partner to help raise its profile in Londons mining finance scene. Currently it is parked with non-specialist brokers, Daniel Stewart, who seem more than a little unsure how to handle a diamond explorer. In the meantime the company reported earlier this month that Hudson Resources had hit kimberlite in all the holes drilled in its recent 2,000 metre programme and another area north-east of Garnet Lake has been found to contain very interesting kimberlite samples. One to watch.

Takahe - very interesting article, but where from? Is this the subject of the veiled accusations flying around this thread, or a genuine, objective piece?

Was this the Minex info you mentioned, or is that something else as well? If so, yes I'd like it.

Thanks

stockckdog..someone posted it on ADVFN at the end of the day yesterday...

stockdog - 19 Aug 2005 12:11 - 1277 of 1909

Thanks, takahe. Remiss of me not to know about this site already since I hold a numberf of oils/gold/mines. Thanks for introducing me to it.

Do you rate Sally White/Minesite as reliably independent in their views, or liable to follow "guidance" from company visits/press releases?

takahe - 19 Aug 2005 12:45 - 1278 of 1909

stockdog...I'm surprised Andy didn't post it since he knows about Minesite .I have no idea of Sally White's credentials. Hope you are not prejudiced because she is a woman..lol! Andy might know if she is reliable. I think Minesite are well regarded from what I have heard.

stockdog - 19 Aug 2005 13:04 - 1279 of 1909

takahe - showing your sensitivity a tad there (perhaps legitimately born of the particular environment in which you have to survive?) - why on earth does Sally's sex have anything to do with her reporting credentials? Haven't you seen the statisticsd reflecting women being better, less sentimental, investors than men? Only got to look at Dynamite (long time no post - don't blame you, how are you?) as a good example. Personally I have been content to accept a woman's capabilities since before I was born!

I just wanted to know if her facts and analysis were likeyl to be reliable.

takahe - 19 Aug 2005 13:15 - 1280 of 1909

stockdog..just a joke, sd, since I am a woman..! ...and I have the feeling you distrust what I post, for some reason.
As you may know , Minesite arrange quite frequent presentations, in London, and I'm told they are well worth attending for those who follow minex stocks.

stockdog - 19 Aug 2005 13:50 - 1281 of 1909

no - I'd never have guessed. lol!

trust you more than many others, although when put in the position of personal vindication, sometimes less interesting and more confusing to those not involved in the squabble.

keep the information flowing - all of us sitting on losses need everything we can get to keep the faith.

takahe - 19 Aug 2005 14:08 - 1282 of 1909

stockdog..happy to post what I can. Still trust the management to get it right eventually here! I know they are very keen to 'do a Petra'.
if you want to try their PR chap...he is gary@swithins.com
He obviously can't answer anything price-sensitive, but he is helpful with general enquiries.

aimtrader - 20 Aug 2005 12:43 - 1283 of 1909

can't believe people still believe in this one.

they promised 10000 carats per month, then stopped after they had announced production had started, failed to declare the grades found, in fact failed to declare they had found anything at all!!! and then announced temporary change of plan for 6 months!!!

i have heard word that they are being view in a very poor light by others in the industry...

and a placing must be close now???

caveat emptor is very applicable here !!!

stockdog - 20 Aug 2005 15:32 - 1284 of 1909

I think caveat emptor is spiritually an anagram of empty excavator!

takahe - 20 Aug 2005 15:41 - 1285 of 1909

aimtrader.."i have heard word that they are being view in a very poor light by others in the industry... "
easy to say..can you give an example?

aimtrader - 20 Aug 2005 17:43 - 1286 of 1909

LOL!!!

it would appear very apt in the circumstances!!!

aimtrader - 20 Aug 2005 18:05 - 1287 of 1909

takahe,

an example, on a public bulletin board???

certainly not, sorry - but i can assure you it is true!!!

takahe - 20 Aug 2005 18:47 - 1288 of 1909

aimtrader...but it is good enough for you to post the general remark on a public bulletin board...interesting

aimtrader - 21 Aug 2005 10:52 - 1289 of 1909

takahe,

well thats what people do on these bulletin boards, surely???

you won't find people giving that sort of information away on sites such as this, you just have to read and digest all the available information, and make your own mind up...

takahe - 21 Aug 2005 14:11 - 1290 of 1909

not even a hint..?

aimtrader - 04 Sep 2005 21:18 - 1291 of 1909

ok

ask the company, not the pr guy, for an update of the current state of play in writing!!!

Re Director Shareholding

This announcement corrects the announcement of 22 April 2005 stating directors'
shareholdings. In that announcement David Johnston and Azizi Yom Ahmad were
incorrectly reported as holding 1,333,080 and 3,919,630 ordinary shares.

David Johnston held 1,883,080 ordinary shares on that date and still holds that
number, representing 1.1 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

Azizi Yom Ahmad held ordinary 6,919,630 shares on that date and still holds that
number, representing 3.9 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.
