With MMS recently concluding deals in Tunisia it has estimated reserves and disused mines with a value in excess of $1billion.

The company is in discussions with JV partners that will bring in the capital to re-start mining quickly.

What value would you place on a company with value in the ground.

With a market cap. of under 4m this looks way too low and should fly with a JV in place.

The share is tightly held with a listed Canadian mining group owning 24%.

Positive news could see the SP multi-bag within days...

Not one for widows or orphans but a small stake could pay dividends in any portfolio.

Outlook
-------

The Group's focus in the immediate future is on its Tunisian assets and in
particular on those most likely to be able to be converted into producing mines
in the near term.

Now that the important agreements on the two former mine concessions at Bou
Jabeur and Fej Lahdoum have been signed with the O.N.M in Tunisia together with
the acquisition of the fluorite permit at Zriba (Zaghouan), Maghreb is focussing
on the "advanced exploration" opportunities that these permits provide. This
will be followed in due course by exploration on its other permits including
Djebel Fej Lahdoum, Djebel Goraa, Lorbeus and Ouled Moussa.

The Group has been approached by, and opened discussions with, a number of
parties who have expressed interest in entering into varying commercial
relationships to exploit the different mining concessions and exploration
permits held by the Group.

Chinas Economy Shows Signs of Recovery on Stimulus (Update3)
Email | Print | A A A

By Kevin Hamlin

Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Chinas economy is showing signs that a 4 trillion yuan ($585 billion) stimulus package is taking effect.

The worlds third-biggest economy may expand 6.6 percent in the second quarter after slowing to 6.3 percent in the three months to March 31, the weakest pace since 1999, according to the median estimates of 14 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.

China is trying to reverse an economic slide that has already cost 20 million jobs, raising the risk of social unrest as exports plunge and the property market sags. Spending on roads railways and housing has increased prices for iron ore, put a floor under industrial output and helped to drive a record $237 billion of new loans in January.

China looks set to be the first major economy to recover from the current global meltdown, said Lu Ting, an economist with Merrill Lynch & Co. in Hong Kong. China is the only economy in the world to see significant growth in credit to corporate and household sectors after September 2008, when the financial crisis worsened to a near collapse.

The governments stimulus plan, announced in November, is beginning to gather momentum. Projects such as the building of 3.5 billion yuan of public houses in Shaanxi province and Shanghai began in December, while Shandong province started work on three new railway lines the same month.

China is committing about 1.2 trillion yuan of central government funds to the plan, which means banks willingness to fund projects is crucial. So far they are responding.

Looking lively again. Not long to the news now.

end of next week.

look for the larger trades to point the way..

so i understand we are waiting for scoping results and additional news???

the two week delay is now coming to an end and still no sign of news!! just selling.

can the deposits really be worthless?

Not seen that much selling though Still Waiting. Just a lull in volume and market makers taking advantage of T traders getting caught out by the 2 weeks delay.

950k buy - 21.5k just gone through! Someone's confident..

Could be about to get exciting this one, news imminent?

doesn't take much to push this skyward.

if it does do a deal and attracts market attention we'll be in for a big rerating.


Passin knows this too...

Scott Wilson provides services to the mining industry at all stages of project development from exploration and resource evaluation through scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies, financing, permitting, construction, operation, closure and rehabilitation. We advise exploration and mining companies, financial institutions, governments, law firms and individual investors on the technical and commercial aspects of mineral property development!!!!!!!

With news next week we'll soon find out if there's enough in the ground to make future mining viable.

If not we may see Passin reverse some other venture into this, Mongolian assets seem much sought after at the minute.

With AGU recently getting an offtake agreement with a much lower resource than Maghreb, I can't see them concluding that Bon Jabeur isn't viable.

would give a severe dent to the credibility of Passin as well.

gl to all holding.

Commodities about to start a new bull run perhaps.

plenty talk of the worse being over now.

yes,still no news from MMS.this can be negative

next week will be moment of truth!

yep, time for it to fly or die..

nor fly anytime soon nor it'll die. news, i think good and positive. could be rewarding holding

in the hands of passin now, will he shaft existing holders!!!

why would he want to shaft existing holders???
