Is this a monster in the making?

Does anyone have this on their radar? What do you make of it, IPO sp at 540p Dec 2007, now 1123p. Am I too late to get in? I think sp is playing catch up with other major miners. Kaz already own 20% of the company.

Check out the presentation there are some impressive numbers and their huge assests.

also does anyone know why norilsk nickel is not included on MoneyAM, Norilsk symbol NILSY or MNOD should show a significant increase next week as bidding for the company hotting up with news expected next week

1500 today i expect!! more to come!

My god!.. I go away for a couple of weeks and the share price creashes to 10.90. What happend?

the FTSE has lost 1000 points from 6400 to 5400 in a few weeks that's whats happened! Possible bounce coming now. DYOR

Yes but EBRC has lost 24% whereas most of the other miners have only lost 14%. Did I miss anything?

Not that I'm aware of but I was away for 2 weeks too!
Check-out the company news on investegate.co.uk

are any of you still in this position? the sp has been falling fast over the last two days is this due to the fall in copper prices or is there another reason. let me know your views

490p now. Is it time to buy?

No...wait for 350p.

350p on the way by end of week

Just taken a nice profit on this.

Shame it's rise doesn't match that of KAZ but I'm just glad to be ahead of the game for a change!

Well, now I think 350p is a bit too generous for ENRC.

Tried to short this day trading when it was +14%.

No market again :-(

Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (LSE: ENRC) announced that it had acquired a 25% stake in Shubarkol Komir JSC, a Kazak thermal coal producer, for US$200 million in cash. Shubarkol Komir produced approximately 6.1 million tonnes of coal in 2007, making it one of the largest producers in Kazakhstan, and has around 1.4 billion tonnes of measured and indicated coal resources.

The acquisition is considered a related party transaction, as three of the founding shareholders of Eurasian Natural Resources hold a majority stake in Shubarkol Komir.

As part of the acquisition, Eurasian Natural Resources has also entered into an off-take agreement, and has a call option to acquire all or part of the remaining shares at the same price it paid for the 25% stake.

Dr. Johannes Sittard, Chief Executive Officer of ENRC, said, 'The acquisition of Shubarkol provides for the further strategic development of the Group in the region. In addition, it strengthens the integrated business model of ENRC through securing a reliable and cost effective supply of relatively high quality thermal coal and semi-coke, thereby further enhancing the Group's position as a low cost producer.'

Not much to go on from Brokers but I have found this one which is fairly recentish and they have a 500p SP target for Eurasian so it would suggest the stock is substanialy undervalued at the moment .

Lets hope the upcoming results rectify that......

Upgrade to Buy, price objective GBp700

We upgrade ENRC to BUY from Neutral and set a new price objective of GBp700,
up from GBp400, inline with our FY2010E NPV. While the market outlook for
chrome, ENRCs main product is clearly depressed, we feel that this is now
largely discounted in the share price. We consider the possibility that the
stainless steel market finishes destocking sometime in the next 12 months
resulting in an improvement in demand for ferrochrome. This would, at the very
least, be positive for volumes; the company is presently operating at a 35-50%
capacity reduction in chrome and iron ore. ENRC has low cost assets and a
strong (net cash) balance sheet and we believe is well placed to weather the
demand weakness. 2009E EPS +15% to US$0.47.


FY2008 results inline with BAS-MLe and consensus
FY2008 results were very much inline with our forecast. EBITDA was US$4.2
billion, +117% YoY and -1% vs. BAS-MLe. Underlying EPS US$2.05, +111%
YoY and +1% vs. BAS-MLe. No real surprises, chrome volumes are down but
there has been a small demand surprise to the upside in China. Iron ore volumes
are presently reduced because of decreased demand from MMK, ENRCs main
customer. Alumina volumes have held up because of internal consumption and
stable demand from Rusal (for now). Unit costs better than we expected.


$1.8bn net cash, potential for international M&A
At the companys results presentation, management highlighted the potential for
the company to take advantage of its strong balance sheet and depressed asset
prices to grow via M&A. The group is willing to consider other commodities
(copper seems like an obvious choice) and other geographies, particularly those
where the majors may not be willing to accept political risk. We read this as Africa and CIS countries. While our view on any potential transaction would depend on the particular assets being acquired and price being paid, we are broadly in agreement with the sentiment i.e. now is a time to be buying mining assets

And this aswell.....
