Alexander Mining has raised around 20m at 30p a share from institutions on top of 4.2m raised over the past year in private placings. It is expected to be capitalised at around 40m when it floats.

Alexander has been set up by Matt Sutcliffe, the former head of mining at Williams de Broand a director of corporate finance at Evolution Group, the City brokers. Sutcliffe is one of the City's most highly regarded characters in mining finance and is sure to have a strong institutional following, having listed a number of winners in his days as an adviser.

Alexander has assembled an attractive portfolio of projects in gold, silver and copper in Peru and Argentina and expects to be producing copper within the next 18 to 24 months. Sutcliffe will be well funded and has put together an impressive board that looks well worth backing.


Essentially Alexander Mining is kicking off with three projects in Argentina and one in Peru as another one in Peru is still being negotiated. Asked which of them will be given priority the answer from Dr Sutcliffe is Juramento, Juramento, Juramento, so there does not seem to be much doubt about that. It is a sedimentary hosted copper silver deposit in north west Argentina which was previously explored by Paramount Ventures and Finance between 1994 and 1997. At the end of that period a total drill indicated resource of 44.7 million ozs at 0.8% copper and 21.8 g/t silver was announced. The Alexander team reckon that the mineralization continues beyond the two areas previously drilled and would be easy to mine as Juramento is a hill. Drilling will commence in the first half of this year as well as preliminary engineering studies and metallurgical testwork. Start at the rate you intend to carry on is the cry and Dr Sutcliffe is flying out to Argentina next week for a long stay.

The Trinidad silver project and the Rachaite gold/silver/base metal projects are also in the northwest of Argentina which makes things easier to manage. Trinidad is a short distance to the north and east of the La Providencia silver mine where Cardero Resources has reported very high silver values. It lies on the northern continuation of the graben which surrounds the mine and is surrounded by Carderos Ramona licence area. Rachaite is a potentially large porphyry target situated in a favourable structural environment. Western Mining did some sampling there in 1997; it is in the same region as the big Alumbrera and Taca Taca mines; and Alexander intends to get drilling this year.. Lastly, there is the Sulcha epithrmal gold silver deposit in the Andes mountains of Peru. A widespead , mineralised outcrop has attracted local artisan miners and recent samples assayed up to 8.12 g/t gold and 1,195 g/t silver. It is also close to the Alto Chicama mine owned by Barrick with 9 million ozs gold in reserves.

An interesting portfolio and well spread geographically and in metals. All the earn-in deals on them are back-end loaded which is a sensible approach as it limits financial risk. In other words there are no up-front payments, just annual expenditure on exploration and a capped royalty if production ensues. Any project that does not live up to expectations can be dumped and the company can move on.

Matt Sutcliffe, the former head of mining at Williams de Broe and a corporate finance director at City brokers Evolution Group, has set up the group. He is one of the City's most highly regarded figures in mining and is sure to have a strong institutional following.

Alexander has assembled an attractive portfolio of projects in gold, silver and copper in Peru and Argentina and expects to produce copper in the next 18-24 months. Sutcliffe will be well funded and has put together an impressive board that looks well worth backing.

It is involved in mining exploration and intends to grow rapidly into a low cost and highly profitable diversified metal producer.

This represents a very strong buy.


Alexander Mining Well Funded For Its South American Adventures.

The boy done good as trainers of boxers used to say of their winners. Matt Sutcliffe, erstwhile mining engineer and brokers mining analyst and now executive chairman of Alexander Mining deserves the plaudit. At a time when the market for junior mining stocks in London was looking a shade droopy, to say the least, the money flowed into a placing of shares in his company prior to its listing on AIM. The company was looking for 12 million and closed the doors at 20 million having had offers of considerably more. On this basis there should a reasonable secondary market as a number of applicants were scaled down. Unfortunately no information is given about the largest shareholders in the company before and after the listing, apart from the directors.

He should also be congratulated for cementing a deal with Dennis Thomas, the eponymous head of Thomas Mining Associates, well known as a job finder for the mining industry. As an adjunct to his business Thomas had built up a portfolio of promising projects which he had secured via letters of intent using his database of 20,000 professionals in the mining industry.. Sutcliffe picked these over and has negotiated earn-in agreements on what he considered to be the five best. This must have taken considerable patience as Thomas is not an easy man to pin down.

There will be more in the pipeline as Alexander Mining has rights of first refusal on the rest and can choose to take them or let Thomas Mining Associates Project Investments shunt them on to third parties. A 45 per cent holding was acquired in TMAPI through payment of 30,000 plus monthly payments of 10,800 which continue as long as all parties are in harmony. The database of mining industry personnel was also handed over to TMAPI so Sutcliffe, who now uses the title of Dr, will not have to go far to find additional specialists as and when required. It is worth pointing out at this stage that he is not confined to TMAPI as a source of projects, but can seek them by all the usual routes.

He has already built a useful team around him. John Hodder is the only other executive as director of business development and he started life as a geologist in Australia on base metals, gold and oil projects. After a time in the UK oil industry he moved to CDC Capital Partners where he became head of the Minerals, Oil and Gas Sector. At senior management level Eileen Carr needs no introduction in London as chief financial officer. Stephane Lamoine, the business development manager is a chartered engineer who, as a mining finance specialist, has worked for a number of leading fund management and broking houses in Europe. Angus Innes is well qualified to be head of operations in South America as he was exploration manager for Billiton in Argentina and Bolivia before becoming a consultant geologist to several mining and exploration companies in South America where he is based.

Essentially Alexander Mining is kicking off with three projects in Argentina and one in Peru as another one in Peru is still being negotiated. Asked which of them will be given priority the answer from Dr Sutcliffe is Juramento, Juramento, Juramento, so there does not seem to be much doubt about that.

Any project that does not live up to expectations can be dumped and the company can move on. The potential weakness of this company lies in communication. Dr Sutcliffe likes keeping things to himself and is notorious for not returning telephone calls. Shareholders can get very restive very quickly, as can journalists, if they feel they are being ignored. No good shedding the job on a non-exec, Matt, stay on the air and you could be on a good thing.

So will I - once I see something to back - I dont back reputations - Look at what happened to Robert Maxwell!!

LOL

Alexander Mining rose 0.75p to 21.75p on Tuesday May 24 after an upbeat presentation by chief executive Matt Sutcliffe at London's Home House.
It did so on the basis that the city is taking to what Matt Sutcliffe said at the presentation. It was the first public presentation made by the company and the city liked what they saw and heard. They responding by upgrading the stock whilst the public are responding by buying the stock.

ARTEMIS Fund Manager's recent comment also shows how those in professional capacity are also warming to the stock; "... We have increased our mining exposure through purchases of Alexander Mining and Jonpol Explorations..."

Morning Pro, Informer, Mrs Moneypenney and all other rampers.

Have you beeen able to find out what it was that Matt Sutcliffe said "which the city liked"

It would really be nice to find out

But you seem to have gone strangely quiet - so am assuming you cannot be real pros as you profess to be - least ways not in Investing.

Will welcome any information based on fact and other than what is already contained in the header post

we have removed a poster from this thread due to personal abuse.

Despite the constant RAMPING by pro/informer/wa157te the share prize has quickly fallen (and is still falling) from 39p to now 20p YES NEARLY 50%.

'If you lie with dogs you catch fleas'!! You have been warned!!

This share is that bad shares mag dropped it from their moining portfolio at a massive loss!!

Yep - had a look at the official site - not a lot there to fill you with confidense either.

There are still no facts about this share - avoid until something positive is published - or risj losing your shirt like all the other rammmpers on this thread.

Looks like this one has sunk some very deep shafts as it seems to be mining new depths @ 20p

Not a whisper from them since floating despite a 50% decline in sp. I'm out.

"Investors Chronicle" today (3rd June)tipped Alexander Mining. Two week ago ARTEMIS Fund Manager's also showed how those in professional capacity are also warming to the stock; "... We have increased our mining exposure through purchases of Alexander Mining and Jonpol Explorations..."

There's a lot of buying of Alexander Mining today. Something happening??

So, why has the sp gone down again today? You're at the mercy of the MM's.

This may be a fantastic company - but they are the pits as regards Investor Relations.

They just do not seem to want to communicate about targets, plans or achievements and they do not seem to care a monkeys that some of their investors have lost half of their original investment.

I bought a small "punt" at 20p - but for most I would steer clear until some news is forthcoming. The crap that keeps on getting posted tells you nothing about progress - just what a good team they have etc.

What we need is rea; news on which to take a view - inho

bhunt1910, well said. In the face of a 50% decline since floating the least they could have done is say something about what they are doing! All you can assume is they're blowing the money and haven't got time to.
