AFRICAN EAGLE, A Gold Explorer With Massive Potential. (AFE)     

goldfinger - 06 Jan 2004 01:54

Ive always said I would not start looking at the Gold Explorers untill POG broke through $420, well its done that today and this company in my mind is the best potential producer around, and heres why.

MANAGEMENT

Has two experinced Managers in mining in Mark Parker and John Park, both have extensive exploration management in Africa in mining and have proved themselfs in the past selling out small mines to the big boys.

THE MINES

ZAMBIA.

Here the company as 5 potential Block busters but the REAL GEM of the company Sasere, known as EAGLE EYE is an old Gold mine but recent sampling shows that it could provide massive deposits of Copper and Gold.

These are the drilling results we are waiting for. Estimations are fantastic and we could see that the company is sitting on deposits worth many times over of the market cap of the company of circa 12.2 million.

MOZAMBIQUE

Three sites here and Nickel is the one they are looking for. Dont forget Nickel is the highest commodity riser after Gold and is hitting new highs.


TANZANIA

Big prospect here is Miyabi.

African Eagle are carrying out a joint venture with the giant Miner Gold Fields. Drilling results are to be given to Goldfields by 31/January this year.

If results are expected what the management of Goldfields want, African Eagle retain a 30% stake in one massive deposit.

This is an exciting investment but one that is HIGH RISK like any other gold explorer.

We should have news very early on two fronts.

If this news is positive we are looking at one hell of an investment.

Please Dyor and remember your buying and selling actions are in your own hands.

Cheers GF.

ps, up 19% today waiting for the results.

DRILLING UPDATE FROM MKUSHI COPPER MINES

African Eagle Resources plc ('the Company' or 'African Eagle', ticker AFE),
announces further excellent results from its ongoing resource definition
drilling programme at Mkushi Copper Mines in central Zambia. Best mineralised
drill intercepts include:

27m at 2.1% copper
61m at 1.4% copper
52m at 1.3% copper
132m at 0.5% copper
73m at 0.6% copper

African Eagle's Managing Director Mark Parker comments 'Mkushi is giving
consistently good results and it now compares very favourably with other copper
projects being brought into production in southern Africa. The latest results
are from a mineralised body to the southwest of the old open pit. So far, we
have outlined 12 to 14 million tonnes at an average grade between 0.7 and 1.2%
copper in this body, according to our preliminary estimates. Drilling continues
and we expect to announce an independent resource estimate during Q3, with a
development scoping study soon after.

'African Eagle believes that Mkushi will add up to a substantial copper deposit,
which internal economic modelling indicates should be profitable across a wide
range of copper prices. Our recent 3.3M financing will enable us to accelerate
the project towards feasibility and development.'

The new results are from the southwest extension of a copper deposit which was
mined by an open pit in the 1960s and 1970s. African Eagle has now traced this
body, known as 'H-Zone', for at least 800m along strike and down to 160 vertical
metres below surface. The zone is up to 60m wide and should therefore be
suitable for open pit development.

Preliminary geological modelling of H-Zone by African Eagle's geologists, based
on the drill results to date, indicates a potential of at least 12 to 14 million
tonnes with grades of the order of 0.7 to 1.2%, to a depth of 150 vertical
metres below surface. This estimate includes only that part of the main
mineralised body drilled to date and does not take into account a smaller
parallel body. As a priority, African Eagle now intends to complete sufficient
additional drilling to allow an independently audited JORC resource estimate to
be prepared during the third quarter of 2006.

There is also considerable scope to add to the resource at Mkushi by drilling
other mineralised zones. A resource estimate of 30.4 million tonnes grading
1.23% copper, equating to more than 370,000 tonnes of copper metal, was made in
1990, based on the four mineralised zones for which drill reports were then
available. Already the preliminary tonnage estimate for H-Zone alone accounts
for more than one third of this figure and the other known zones and potential
new ones identified by African Eagle's geologists remain to be evaluated.

Past mining from the open pit yielded 2.2 million tonnes of ore at an average
grade of 1% copper, but the pit reached a depth of only 30 metres and archive
reports indicate that considerable resources remain beneath the old workings.
The Company plans to drill this area once the old pit can be pumped dry.

Moreover, there are known mineralised zones which have never been drilled and
African Eagle's induced polarisation geophysical surveys have identified many
other chargeable zones which may be additional copper resources elsewhere within
the prospecting licence.

African Eagle has now completed 48 inclined diamond and percussion drill holes
for a total of 7906m at the Mkushi Copper Mines. The principal results of the
latest drilling are tabulated below. A table of all mineralised drill intercepts
to date and a map showing key drill results from H-Zone can be viewed at

About African Eagle

African Eagle is a mineral resources company operating in eastern and central
Africa. It holds projects in Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, countries with
highly prospective geology and low above-ground risks, which have all been
destinations for successful recent major investments in the metals and minerals
industries.

The Company has a highly motivated team, proven management and an experienced
board. Its principal operation is the Mkushi Copper Mines projects in Zambia. It
also holds the Miyabi gold project in Tanzania, the Ndola copper project in the
Zambian Copperbelt and has discovered a large iron oxide copper gold (IOCG)
system at Eagle Eye in Zambia. There is also a well-balanced portfolio of
promising early stage exploration projects.

About Mkushi Copper Mines

Discovered in 1922, the Mkushi deposits were first mined by underground
workings, then developed as an open pit operation in the late 1960s. The mine
closed around the time of Zambia's nationalisation of the copper industry in the
1970s, but archive reports indicate that there is still abundant ore left in the
ground. African Eagle Resources acquired the Mkushi Copper Mines in 2002 through
a share-based acquisition of an Australian exploration company and is now
drilling to confirm and expand the known copper resource.

The local infrastructure around Mkushi is excellent and the brownfield site
should make it straightforward to obtain permits for renewed operations. The
deposits have simple chalcopyrite mineralogy which should allow a concentrate to
be produced efficiently at relatively modest capital cost. Mkushi is the only
Zambian copper mine in rocks older than the Katangan sequence which hosts the
well known Copperbelt deposits.

African Eagle is also exploring a wide area surrounding the old mines.
Geophysical induced polarisation surveys, which to date cover almost 30 square
kilometres, have revealed additional anomalies in the area, which African Eagle
believes could bring the total resource to 50Mt at 1% or more copper, with
500,000 tonnes of contained metal.

The Company is conducting a full resource drilling programme and economic
evaluation at Mkushi, leading to a full feasibility study during 2007, with a
view to taking the project to commercial production.

New Drilling at African Eagle's High-grade Msasa Gold Project

AIM quoted African Eagle Resources plc ('African Eagle' or 'the Company', ticker
AIM: AFE) is pleased to announce that MDN Northern Mining ('MDN', TSE:MDN) has
started reverse circulation drilling at the Company's 90 per cent owned Msasa
Gold Project in Tanzania.

Under an option agreement signed in May 2006, MDN is investing US$200,000 in
exploration at African Eagle's Msasa project, to earn the right to acquire a 51%
interest in the project by investing a further US$1.7m. MDN can then increase
its participation to 65% by financing a feasibility study.

Exploration already carried out by African Eagle has returned gold assay values
indicating that the Msasa area holds high-grade mineralisation with similarities
to that at the Tulawaka Gold Mine, 15km to the northeast, which is a joint
venture between MDN (30%) and Barrick Gold Corporation (70%). African Eagle's
Msasa drilling intersected gold-bearing quartz veins, including one very high
grade section which assayed 81 grammes of gold per tonne over 9 metres.

MDN's programme of reverse circulation drilling will follow up these promising
indications, to determine the extent of the gold mineralisation and to test
further geochemical and geophysical targets.

African Eagle's Managing Director Mark Parker comments 'Our own drilling,
geophysics and geochemistry has revealed that Msasa could be a significant
high-grade deposit. At this location, which is within easy trucking distance of
the Tulawaka plant, even a small high-grade deposit would be significant. MDN is
showing a strong commitment to this project and we are looking forward keenly to
the results of the drilling programme'.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNER FOR MKUSHI COPPER MINES


AIM quoted African Eagle Resources plc ('African Eagle' or 'the Company', ticker
AIM: AFE) today announces that it has signed a Heads of Agreement ('Heads') with
Central Asia Gold Limited (CAGL) for the joint venture development of its Mkushi
Copper Mines project in Zambia. Under the Heads, CAGL will conduct and finance a
bankable feasibility study ('BFS') at Mkushi, leading to a decision on mine
development. The deal is a major landmark in AFE's strategy of realising the
value in its asset holdings.


Under the Heads, AFE and CAGL will set up a joint venture vehicle to explore the
licences and develop the Mkushi project, holding 49% and 51% interests
respectively. CAGL will direct and fully fund the completion of the BFS within a
defined part of the licence area. CAGL must spend at least US$1M on the BFS,
which will include a scope of work set out in the Heads. If CAGL withdraws
before the completion of the BFS, or does not meet its obligation to complete a
BFS before 30 June 2008, its 51% interest will revert to AFE. On a decision to
develop a mine, CAGL will use its best endeavours to arrange the project finance
for development of a mine on behalf of the joint venture. AFE will continue to
explore the rest of the licence area outside the defined zone, funded pro rata
by the two parties.

Managing Director Mark Parker comments 'This agreement is a milestone in our
strategy of bringing in partners with the skills and cash to fast track our many
highly prospective projects. It will accelerate our resource drilling,
engineering studies and economic modelling, and should take us to a development
decision significantly faster. It will also free up some of our resources to
make progress on other key projects.

'The managers at CAGL have sound track records of bringing significant mines
into production quickly and cost-effectively not only in Africa but also
worldwide, including Golden Pride in Tanzania, Obotan in Ghana, Boroo in
Mongolia and Bullabulling, Chalice and Marymia in Western Australia. Members of
AFE's Board have worked successfully with the key CAGL people before, on the
joint development by SAMAX and Resolute of Tanzania's first modern gold mine at
Golden Pride.'

The Heads are in line with the Company's objectives of bringing its nearest to
market projects into production as quickly as possible, through development
partnerships where appropriate, while retaining significant future upside by
leveraging its exploration skills.

African Eagle has already drilled almost 10,000m of diamond and percussion drill
holes and has recently engaged Snowden Mining Services to conduct a resource
estimate. The Company is currently completing its final planned holes in the
resource drilling programme at H-Zone and will then switch to exploration
drilling, starting at the promising Munda target, while CAGL takes over the
resource drilling programme.

The Heads of Agreement are conditional on satisfactory completion of due
diligence by both companies before 31 August 2006 and on approval of the joint
venture by the Zambian Ministry of Mines.

The Company also signed a Heads on similar terms over the Mokambo project in the
Zambian Copperbelt, subject to resolution of issues of title.

PHELPS DODGE MINING (ZAMBIA) LIMITED TO PARTNER AFRICAN EAGLE
AND FUND THE NDOLA COPPERBELT PROJECT

AIM quoted African Eagle Resources plc ('African Eagle' or 'the Company', ticker
AIM: AFE) today announces that it has signed an Earn-in Agreement with Phelps
Dodge Mining (Zambia) Limited (PDMZ), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Phelps
Dodge Exploration Corporation, for the exploration and joint venture development
of its Ndola Copperbelt project in Zambia.

Under the Agreement, PDMZ will subscribe for AFE shares to the value of US$2.73
million in two tranches, at a 10% premium to the market price of AFE's shares.
AFE will use 75% of the funds on an agreed exploration programme at Ndola and
the balance on other AFE projects and general working capital. PDMZ will gain an
exclusive right to earn an ownership interest of up to 70% in the Ndola project
by making agreed expenditures on further exploration up to and including
completion of a bankable feasibility study.

This Agreement is in line with AFE's strategy of working with other companies
inthe joint development of its projects and complements the recent announcement
that the Company's Mkushi Copper Mines project, also in Zambia, will be
developed in partnership with Central Asia Gold Limited.

The principal terms of the Agreement are:

PDMZ will subscribe for an initial tranche of AFE shares to a value of
US$1,273,333 (approximately 680,000) and within 12 months will subscribe to
a second tranche of AFE shares to a value of US$1 million (approximately
530,000), both at a 10% premium to the average closing mid-market price of
AFE's shares for the 10 consecutive dealing days immediately preceding the
relevant subscription date. At AFE's current share price of 11.75p, PDMZ
would hold approximately 3.4% of the Company's share capital after the first
subscription and almost 6% after the second tranche.

AFE will undertake an agreed 15-month exploration programme on the Ndola
licence, spending at least 75% of the amount subscribed on that programme.

AFE will grant PDMZ the exclusive right to enter into a joint venture
with AFE on the Ndola project at the end of the 15 month period. Under the
joint venture, PD can earn a 51% interest in the Ndola project by spending a
further US$3m on exploration and then an additional 19% by completing a
bankable feasibility study on the property.

The share subscription will be subject to approval of the contemplated joint
venture by the Zambian Ministry of Mines and to satisfactory completion of due
diligence by PDMZ.

The Ndola licence area is considered highly prospective, being underlain by the
Mine Series and Lower Kundelungu geological sequences which host most of the
world-class copper deposits of Zambia and the DRC. The licence occupies a
little-explored gap between First Quantum Minerals' Frontier and Lonshi mines in
the DRC. Drilling of the Mine Series northeast of Ndola town during the 1950s
and 60s revealed extensive copper mineralisation, with a historical estimate
(not JORC-compliant) of 40 million tonnes at 0.75% copper. African Eagle's top
priority will be to re-evaluate the resource and test for extensions to.

At the same time, the Company will conduct surface surveys over the whole
licence, including soil geochemistry, geological mapping, gravity and airborne
geophysics, which are likely to reveal new drilling targets.

African Eagle's Managing Director Mark Parker comments 'I am delighted that
Phelps Dodge, the world's third largest copper miner, will be exploring this
highly prospective area with us.'

About Phelps Dodge Corporation

Phelps Dodge Mining (Zambia) Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Phelps
Dodge Exploration Corporation. The parent, Phelps Dodge Corporation (Ticker
NYSE: PD) is one of the world's leading producers of copper and molybdenum and
is the largest producer of molybdenum-based chemicals and continuous-cast copper
rod. The company employs 14,500 people worldwide.

About Ndola

African Eagle's Ndola licence lies in the southern part of the hugely prolific
Central African Copperbelt, one of the great mining districts of the world. The
Copperbelt hosts two of the world's ten biggest copper deposits and contains a
global resource of almost 200 million tonnes of copper metal, mostly in very
high grade ores.

The Ndola licence surrounds the historic Bwana Mkubwa copper mine and occupies a
little-explored gap between the Frontier and Lonshi Mines operated by First
Quantum Minerals. The Group believes that modern exploration techniques coupled
with current geological thinking on Copperbelt mineralisation could yield
significant discoveries at Ndola.

In late 2005, the Company conducted a thorough review of archive information on
the mineral resources and potential of the Ndola area. The review concluded that
the area is highly prospective for copper deposits, of the Frontier and Lonshi
type as well as the classic Zambian Copperbelt Mine Series hosted type.
Widely spaced drilling in the Mine Series during the 1950s and 60s revealed a
resource of some 40 million tonnes of 0.75% copper northeast of Ndola town, and
a deposit containing 3 million tonnes of 3.5% combined lead and zinc near the
centre of the licence. These deposits were only sketchily explored and have
potential for further development.

African Eagle shares have failed to advance over the last month despite the publication of an upbeat progress report on 31st January 2007. The company continues its strategic emphasis towards taking its most advanced and significant projects into production as quickly as possible. To this end, it has set out to bring suitably qualified partners into joint venture or farm-in deals. Two of African Eagles projects hold mineral resources determined to JORC standard. The company will fast-track these advanced projects towards production, especially the Mkushi Copper Mines in Zambia, to provide a revenue stream to create further upside for shareholders through future exploration.

The ongoing drill programme continues to confirm the substantial width and grade of the deposit and is on track to increase the JORC-compliant copper resource at Mkushi Copper Mines in Zambia. The latest drill results include 82.7m at 1.7% copper and 66.1m at 1.0% copper. Joint venture partner CGA Mining Ltd has completed 3,930m of reverse circulation drilling and 1,954m of diamond drilling since taking over operations in the core area in July 2006. It has submitted 2,716 drill samples for assay, of which about half of the results have been reported and another 25% are expected shortly. CGA has also commissioned an environmental baseline study, currently underway, and metallurgical testing which has confirmed copper recoveries in excess of 95%.

The company has been in discussions with a number of potential joint venture partners with a view to taking the Miyabi project in Tanzania forward rapidly towards feasibility study as quickly as possible. To date African Eagle has drilled only part of the system, but it has been able to define a JORC resource of 520,000 ounces gold.
African Eagle is also keen in bringing in a partner on the Eagle eye project, and negotiations are well underway with several interested parties. Having completed the westward extension of a soil geochemical survey and geological mapping last year, these have identified an area of potassic hydrothermal alteration with associated haematite, which may indicate the potential for copper mineralisation in the granite.

The company is upbeat about the latest results from its Ndola project in Zambia, which lies adjacent to the border with the Demographic Republic of Congo (DRC). It has largely completed its basic surveys over this highly prospective licence and a drill rig is currently being mobilised on the site to commence drilling on a priority target - this work is being funded by Phelps Dodge Mining Zambia Ltd (PDMZ) under an option agreement and the subscription of USD$ 2.27m for African Eagle shares. Regulatory hurdles in Zambia have now been surmounted and it is expected the first $1.27 M subscription tranche to be completed shortly. African Eagle holds several additional early stage project areas in Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique and is seeking partners to work with towards evaluation and further development of these project areas. Two of these projects, Dutwa the gold and platinum prospect and Lunga the gold and copper prospect in Tanzania and Zambia respectively have recently delivered particularly promising results.

We believe that, at 10.125p, African Eagles current market value fails to discount by a significant margin the potential of either Miyabi or Mkushi, the two prospects with JORC compliant resources let alone other assets within African Eagles portfolio of gold and copper plays. We continue to work on a major report on this company but do not expect that our current 50p valuation will be reduced and expect that a favourable newsflow from drilling on a number of properties will prompt a significant re-rating over the coming months.

Our forecasts and recommendation on this stock are suspended pending the publication of a detailed report shortly.

200,000 at 10.45p lets hope this gets a tic up to make Phelps Dodge have to raise the sp further.

TheFrenchConnection - 23 Feb 2007 14:45 - 265 of 300

l see J.P. Morgan Chase have increased thier holding in AFE from 10.8 million shares to 14.4 million shares as of the 16th of Feb. ,,,,am rather hoping for more than a few ticks as mms execute this order over the forecoming few days; and in doing so encourage the army of PI s to get in on a well run foccussed stock at bargain basement level price which is almost 60% owned by a bevy of institutions accompanied by heavy board representation and what with a JORC compliant resource measured independantly @ 520 mn/tr/ozs au covering current s/p many times over .. And what with recent news that China is spending billions on Tanzania and Zambias geo-physical infrastructure { as in roads and bridges } my last lingering doubt has has removed reg. this company. lrony being : they will probably try and buy us out wholesale unless Phelps & Dodge, who themselves, have in all but name been recently taken over themselves, make a move. DO NOT forget both Zambia and Tanzania are well known as producers as the finest purest copper in the world. And thats a fact ! ; The only problem was getting the stuff to port and out of Africa ..Furthermore ,and at last , inflationary currency problems are finally abating . ... l am loathe at the best of times to make valuations on stocks in themselves , but am even more loathe to correlate price with timescale . . lts the timescale i abhor in making the right call. But if you have 6 Months to a year to hibernate i think we will see in excess of 36p at bare minimum and as much as 60p based on CURRENT informations available. ..lf Phelps or Central Asia Gold are convinced by our case and stump up the $50 million mentioned in previous RNS or initially even buy in two tranches 5 million quids worth of stock to farm in ( as mentioned in same RNS we could be the proverbial acorn - For from tiny acorns do great oaks grow ...Hope springs eternal huh ? But when you have done as much research into AFE s trading patterns as i have its a question of "when " as opposed to "lf" ,,,,,....................................................................................................... *Nice scholarly summation on AFE , Roly. Your research is not wasted. .As i write the "bid" has at last breached 10.25 p with "offer @ 10.75. Charts suggest a breakout at this level as does the candlestick formation . . .As for KMR i bought these a good while ago @18p based on their African molydenum deposit and other related heavy sands. Also on the back of titanium and rhumite deposits ect ect .....Add a "successful " uranium licence to thier portfolio: and both a re/rating and hefty premium to current s/p will promptly follow. Ditto with AFE . But in the long term this has a lot more upside; as i believe much of KMR enterprises are already factored into s/p. Whereas with AFE i believe we have got in right at the bottom...Bonne chance a vous .....et al .. Off topic; But have a peek @ CEY ,( gold ) SUN and GGG.{ gold and copper }..@+ J ..............................and the crown jewel - LUP , of course which has risen from 15p to 20p this past 2 weeks ....

TheFrenchConnection - 26 Feb 2007 07:43 - 266 of 300

RNS out .PHELPS/DODGE and AFE j/v approved by ministry for mines,, and more importantly for AFE is they will be in receipts of monies paid by PHELPS taking an initial tranche of $1 mn stg in AFE shares @+ J,,and a furthur $1m in 12 months ,,,Things are happening here ......blue sky day ...@+

laurie squash - 26 Feb 2007 15:34 - 267 of 300

Looking good but mm's holding at .25 but may break 11p today.

TheFrenchConnection - 26 Feb 2007 18:45 - 268 of 300

..massive hike in volume surely merited more than a single tick northwards ,,,But when you scrutinize the spread it has moved from fridays close of 9.5 / 11pps to a 10,50 /11p spread of today ..Sounds better put that way does it not ? ..a'bientot ..J ...

laurie squash - 26 Feb 2007 19:20 - 269 of 300

Yes 12p actually looks possible from here but we shall see.

Madison - 27 Feb 2007 12:36 - 270 of 300

Can anyone confirm that AFE have no mines in South Africa?

Many thanks,

Madison
