KEEP AN EYE ON THIS LITTLE BABY...FANTASTIC PLATINUM/NICKEL PLAY

great week!

Hats off this time maestro.

how does one create or find charts on the system here?
from what i could make out from a very basic chart elsewhere, there was arguably a breakout at 50p, but .....

Cynic, it's in the button bar at the top of the web-page, top row, fourth from the left.

SP up 36% over ten days, last five days have all posted a rise. Nice.

FWIW, Nickel news from today's FT.com:

Nickel rose 3.5 per cent to a record $20,000 a tonne as traders said that hedge funds were betting on disruptions to output from Incos Sudbury facility in Canada, where wage negotiations are ongoing and the current labour contract runs out in mid-May. Inco has also forecast a 10,000 tonne global nickel deficit this year compared to an 11,000 tonne surplus in 2005.

Up again today, by 1.5p, on the back of strong metals prices.

I'm impressed by the rise over the last few months, so have just topped up (nearly doubled) my holding at 58.56p.

up 2.5p,should keep nice steady rise now according to the chartists.OT does anyone hold PET?

Volume is tiny but it's almost all on the buy side. Suspect the chartists are right.

Offtake Agreement Signed for Blue Ridge Mine



Ridge Mining plc, the Platinum Group Metals company operating in South Africa,
today announces that it has signed an agreement with Impala Refining Services
Limited (Impala) for the offtake of the concentrate to be produced over the life
of the Blue Ridge Mine near Groblersdal, South Africa.



A bankable feasibility study was completed on Blue Ridge in November 2005 for a
mine producing 125,000 ounces of 4 PGE (platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold)
per annum over a period of 18 years. Consequently a decision was made to bring
the mine into production and a consortium of banks led by the Development Bank
of Southern Africa was mandated to provide the debt finance for the project. The
bank consortium is now in the advanced stages of the technical due diligence
process with the view to finalising the financing arrangements by mid year and
commencing development at Blue Ridge in the second half of the year.



The terms of the offtake agreement with Impala are of a commercially sensitive
nature although the higher grade concentrate to be produced as a result of the
Efficient Cut mining method has resulted in materially improved terms being
offered by Impala.


Terence Wilkinson, Chief Executive of Ridge commented:



'The signature of the offtake agreement was a key condition of the bank finance
for the Blue Ridge development. We are on schedule to commence development of
the project in the next few months with the objective of achieving first PGM
production during 2008.

Marvellous news, Pommy, good to see that some people are focused on the funadamentals and not the current panic.

I like the sound of those "materially improved terms" - one hopes that RDG hasn't locked itself into anything that will prove to be disadvantageous should commodity prices resume their upward trend, but it sounds good because we can be sure that the origianl feasibility study was done using figures that were extremely conservative in comparison with current metals prices.

and with the SP having dropped almost 25% in the last few days, I guess this is something of a buying opportunity. Could have further to fall, though, given prevailing market conditions. I wish I was liquid at present, so I could load up with some more . . .

what the fu?? is going on?

The ar5e has fallen out of the market, is what has happened. Panic reigns. I have now liquidated some profits in order to wait for some bargains - probably after the summer lull.

Ridge is looking ever more a bargain, IMHO, but am still watching and waiting as the current market scenario offers too many opportunities to catch a falling knife.

bargain? god, it will go bankrupt at this rate

Fantastic - wish I had a suitcase full of cash so I could get some more when the price stops falling . . . .

its down again..........it will soon be at its lowest ever...............

Bargain city . . . .
