About Caledon: Caledon is quoted on the London AIM market (Ticker: CDN). In 2006, the Company acquired two Australian coal projects; the Cook mine and the Minyango coal project, both situated in the Bowen Basin, Queensland. The Cook mine is host to a mineable reserve of 17 Mt of coking and thermal coal with a 10 year mine plan. On 21 March 2007, Caledon announced commencement of production at the Cook mine with targeted output to reach a 100,000 tonnes per month rate by the end of 2007 and 1.5 million tonnes per annum in 2008. On 14 March 2007, the neighbouring Minyango project resource was brought to a JORC standard of 240 million tonnes which was an increase of 17% on original estimates. Caledons aim is to develop the Minyango project to potentially increase the Companys production in the near-term to accompany its already producing Cook mine project.

Think you have got the wrong word lamanga - they are useful !!!!!!!

Lamanga,

Please refrain from using abusive language - your post has been edited.

Ian

Sorry Ian

This idiot, transco, is all over the internet posting baseless drivel about CDN. He is trying his absolute hardest to talk it down. This is because he has a financial interest in so doing. Check out what he said yesterday on ADVFN. And he finally admitted to having a short position. His activity is not just borderline illegal, it is firmly on the wrong side of the law.

By the way, I urge you to NOT edit his posts. By his own hand has he provided evidence of his wrongdoing. I only hope he resides in the UK where the long arm of the law can find him.

By 00:20 today, I had finished off my 2nd bottle of wine and was feeling rather, well, emotional.

go get him lamanga

i bet shorters are.....short people too.....probably got bullied at school and have a chip on their shoulder....all they can do is destroy things like the nazis

apologises to any nazis who may be offended by comparison to a shorter, lol

over 6 percent.

New York (Platts)--13th Oct2008

A major US producer has settled the majority of 2009 metallurgical coal
contracts with buyers of domestic steel makers at average prices above the
2008 benchmark of $300/metric ton for Australian hard coal.

Low-volatile premium coal settled around $300/short ton FOB mine, which is a
FOB port equivalent of about $380/mt, including transportation charges
estimated at $40/st, confirmed US mining executives.

Premium high-vol coking coal of 30-32 volatile matter was settled at
$260-$265/st while generic high-vol material with VM of more than 34 was
priced at $200-$220/st, said one source.

The contraction in economic output is expected to reduce steel demand, a
source at a major coking coal producer said last week.

The difference in prices between premium low-vol material and generic lower
quality high-vol coal is widening as increased coking coal production has led
to some coking coal companies accepting poorer quality materials and supply of
low-vol coal remains constrained, a mining executive said.

"The extra high-vol to meet demand has been the poorer quality," he said.
"We're expecting the differential between higher- and poor-quality coal to
widen."

About 75% of his company's domestic sales volume for 2009 has been contracted
already, with some tonnage priced based on multi-year contracts.

Buyers agreeing to higher prices

"It's probably too early to predict where those ranges will end up on the
seaborne side in 2009 since many buyers don't have contracts expiring until
the end of the first quarter of 2009," said one US met coal veteran. "However,
the strong signal coming out of the US is that prices for Appalachian-quality
hard coking coals are holding up very well.

"The vast majority [of buyers] are committing; some are holding back in
anticipation of economic events leading to lower prices," the US executive
said. "From now to the end of the year, domestic customers are still
scrambling for spot coal."

The prices miners have received come in the face of recent large declines in
steel prices for products and spot iron ore that some market sources say may
end up infecting the coking coal market and lead to lower term prices for
contracts starting in April 2009, under which the bulk of output is sold.

Last week, two commodity analysts cut forecasts for average coking coal prices
in 2009 and 2010 following upheaval in the global financial markets, a
stronger US dollar and weaker commodities demand from China. They predicted
the average yearly price for premium hard coking coal at $230-$250/mt FOB for
2009 and $190/mt FOB in 2010, down from $300-$305/mt forecast for 2008.

US miners at the end of 2007 settled coking coal term contracts for the 2008
calendar year with domestic customers at around $110/mt FOB mine before global
supply tightness led spot prices to surge.

Australia-based BHP Billiton-Mitsubishi Alliance, the largest seaborne coking
coal exporter, settled term contract prices for the Japanese fiscal year
starting April 1 at around $300/mt, with most other producers getting similar
prices, even though Xstrata held out and achieved a higher average price of
$362/mt for its term contracts.

Topped up this am. 14.9p seems silly?
aimho
cyril

Although not intending to add, i still feel this is well undervalued at 19p?
cyril

Just a moment ago the stockwatch showd 20p/20p 0% spread, it is now 22/21.75p, up 41%. No idea why this sudden rise which even today is spectacular,
perhaps Polo are topping up?
cyril

Polo Resources has a bright future and is way under-valued.

Yes i agree that polo are worth looking at now, its been worked out that the
value is worth over 4p alone for their holdings in CDN and GCM. Of course with the Mongolian assets which we are led to believe will show profit this quarter, couple that with cash inhand makes it undervalued.
Back to CDN and todays rise, trading around 28p is stunning and just goes to show that its possible to pick up some real bargains at present.

Operational Update and Closure of London Office


2008 sales forecast 460,000t

2009 sales guidance revised down due to market outlook

London office to be closed and functions transferred to Brisbane office

In an analyst presentation posted on the Caledon website on 18 November 2008 the Company forecast saleable production of 500kt for 2008 and 900kt for 2009.

Due to production constraints the Company's revised sales forecast for 2008 is now 460kt.

In addition, due to the very significant deterioration in the market outlook for coking coal over the past month, the Company is now revising its 2009 production target downwards. In this regard the Company now believes it is prudent to forecast a minimum of 400kt of saleable production for 2009, with greater sales possible if market conditions improve. The Company's immediate focus is on cost reduction and cash conservation.

In line with this focus, the Board has decided to transfer the functions currently performed within the Company's London office to existing finance staff in Brisbane and terminate the lease on its Hudson House offices. This decision will result in the redundancy of three staff in London.

Look at whats happened - what do you think.
Was this ever ever worth more than 30p?

RNS possible bid coming?
