Iron ore, ilmenite, titanium sponge - not the latest special offers from Tesco but the range of interests that the Peter Hambro Mining offshoot, Aricom, has up its sleeve. Revenue generation is not far away and the potential seems to be limitless.

Up into the Main Market today then and another small rise :-) Any ideas as to why it's had to change its epic to ORE?

here's a decent chart for you all ..... quite encoluraging, and a stock well worth watching

IAN .... if you are montioring this at all, please can you change the header EPIC to ORE as TIO has been "discontinued"


Others .... very good indeed to see sp breaking back above all key DMAs ..... if this can be held through the close, then there could be quite a lot of upside potential

This stock has moved from Aim to the main market,hence the change in code.
Any forecasts on the upside?

chart tells you all ..... certainly likely to be quite strong resistance at 84/86 and maybe to a slightly lesser extent at 74/76

IMO these are only going one way which is north. As per a recent Shares mag article this could be the next big mining house and I believe that by the end of the decade the SP will be over 10. There will be many slips and slides on the journey but I'm in for the long-haul and am very excited about the prospects.

Yes, I tend to agree.Looking at things in a broader sense,I feel that Russia ,where many of these untapped mining stocks are,will be playing a much increased part.

IF stability is indeed slowly returning to the markets, then there are many worse commodity stocks to hold given the projected increase in ore prices for 2008 - probably 35-50%; see comment in RIO thread.

the little dip today tempts me strongly to reinvest (got out 7/10 days ago merely to take money off the table) as there should be sgtrong support where 25+50 dma coincide at 72

i wonder whether this tasty iron ore producer is on any predator's radar?
good company (i think) in its own right anyway

another good piece of news re this stock surrounded a buy recommendation from the daily telegraph of about a week ago.
aricom have made a $300 m tie up with the chinese government re shipment of iron ore .

or even piece of good news!

TIO, rechristened as ORE but perhaps would be better as ORG ..... the build up is quite slow and gentle, but when it finally comes it could all explode ..... well the thoughts nice anyway - lol!

shall not pursue the above word game, but in all seriousness, do not forget this little (i think) gem ..... sp is on the move this morning, perhaps because others are waking up to the fact that ORE could make a tasty morsel for a larger fish

Maybe:
"Aricom plc (LSE:ORE, OREW), the Anglo-Russian developer of mineral resources,
advises that it will be announcing its Final Results for the year ended 31
December 2007 on Thursday 21 February 2008."
Still on my watchlist, but not convinced yet that it is going places.

at least the company has good parentage, which is more than can be said for many other producers in those regions!

For what it's worth I do believe that ORE is going places - right place and right time (China & Russia) IMO.

apart from the old queen (long may she reign!), i do hope that some of you other guys paid attention and have got on board

read this little piece as you will ..... are ORE looking to buy or sell? ..... odds are surely on the latter, but certainly no certainty!


Russian iron ore firm Aricom Plc is holding discussions about possible merger or acquisition opportunities, the chief executive said on Thursday.
"We're speaking to people about possible options for us and we are keeping our cards pretty close to our chest, but there are some interesting opportunities," Jay Hambro told Reuters in an interview.

So, buy on rumour, sell on fact?

demand and price of iron ore is flying-a good one to hold I think. I sold FXP and WSM far too early so I intend to hang in here! much better day all round for me today which has cheered me up considerably!
