Exploration update 3rd August 2006 - Red Rock Resources PLC said a significant new iron discovery has been made at its Central Yilgarn Iron Project in Australia. Jupiter is targeting extra iron ore tonnage of over 20 mln tonnes from the discovery. Production from the Central Yilgarn Iron Project is planned to be crushed on site, trucked to Menzies, 90 kilometres away, and then railed to the Port of Esperance

Exploration Update 9th August 2006 - Manganese Resource defined at Mkushi, Zambia gives an indicated tonnage of 2,365,000 million tonnes of manganese ore


Red River (RVR), which is a stock we rarely hear from, performed a similar trick, announcing the recovery of high-grade iron ore samples from a project in the Pilbara region of WA, and receiving a share price boost of A3 cents (20 per cent) to close the week at A18 cents. (courtesy of Minesite)

Red Rock Resources has reported a fall in production in Colombia.

Ore mined from the El Limon mine in Antioquia, Colombia in the week to 28 May 2011 fell to 47.2 tons per day, while ore processed through the plant fell to 38.4 tonnes per day.

A principal reason was the death of an employee in a local incident apparently unrelated to his work, and the custom of all employees being given a day off for the funeral, which also led to 5 day working.

After selling 707.3 grams of gold in the week to 7 May 2011, 727.32 grams of gold in the week to 14 May 2011, and 758.9 grams in the week to 21 May 2011, 1,069 grams were sold in the week. Further dore bars being delivered to the refinery are expected to result in a May total gold production of approximately 4.4 kg.

The company's head of mining operations and development, the chief technology officer, and other executives are at the mine planning and implementing changes towards more efficient working practices, to include seven day working, better dilution control, partial mechanisation, improvements in metallurgical test work at each stage of production, and recruitment of mine geologists.

Delivery of the first of two hydraulic shovels during June, and opening of new stopes, are expected to lead to significant short-term improvements over the coming weeks. The company's 51% owned local subsidiary achieved operational break-even for part of the month of May, and it is now planning on the basis of cash flow break-even in June and operational profitability in July. Reports of gold production will now move from a weekly to a fortnightly basis.

In 8 March Red Rock announced that it had exercised its option to take a 51% shareholding in Mineras Four Points SA ("MFP"), the company operating and owning the El Limon mine in Colombia for a total cash consideration of up to $7.5m., of which $5.502m. (the "Initial Consideration") was paid or payable on completion of a loan guarantee by the vendors, with $1m. deferred until MFP had an average ore production of 150 tonnes per day for a continuous 90 day period and a further $998,000 payable only when MFP achieved a net operating profit of $10m. in one year.

Red Rock has now agreed with the vendors to defer a further 1m. of the initial $5.502m. consideration pending resolution of an issue in relation to availability of areas for eventual expansion of the second mine at Machuca. These areas are not required for near-term operations at Machuca. Red Rock has now made full payment of the balance of the Initial Consideration.

Final metallurgical results from the Macalder tailings at Migori, Kenya, have been analysed by the company and the possibility of a new Resource calculation is being investigated. The company considers the results of the assessment to be positive and a full report will be issued shortly.

Drilling continues at Migori West and Migori East licenses.

Technically speaking, Red Rock actually reported an increase in production (gold smelted and sold), but a decrease in weight of ore mined and processed.

Punters are to tuned into gold production, we know or should know tonnes per day are going to increase over months years plus all the other stuff RRR has going, any sp below 30p is a bargain at this stage of growth.

Couldn't agree more.
And from today's RNS:

"Delivery of the first of two hydraulic shovels during June, and opening of new stopes, are expected to lead to significant short-term improvements over the coming weeks."

From the audio interview out last weekend I take this to mean the antipicated step up to ~100tpd.

Update - Macalder metallurgical testwork
RNS Number : 1634I

http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/201106091146231634I.html

Dear colleagues and shareholders,

As you may have seen, we have been able to confirm our metallurgical work at the Macalder tailings in Kenya, and believe that with a simple plant and process flow some 50,000 oz of gold can be extracted economically.

Our environmental assessment is encouraging so far, so we are establishing a separate team to take this project forward and 'fast track' the next stages. This is an encouraging development for shareholders, and a good piece of news with which to end the financial year.

As has been reported, we drilled the tailings, we got CSA to prepare an Indicated Resource showing 75,000 oz contained gold, we got Amdel Labs in Perth to do the metallurgical work, and we asked Len Holland to assess it. We got the highest quality advice at every stage. We are not going to change our approach and put out a bullish announcement about how this is a project that is going ahead and will make money until we have done the proper work. That is the answer to those who complain that we are not sufficiently upbeat or clear in our announcement.

We are not going to say 'we are going into production' until we have a proper and professional assessment of capital cost. We would look unprofessional. And we only just now have the answers on process and flowsheet. So only now can we know what to cost. The sizing of units, eg the leaching tanks, and the flow sheet are dependent on the answers to the very questions to which we only now have answers: such as 'do we leach for 24 or 48 hours?', and 'do we need to grind?' The answers to both questions were positive....

But the remaining work will not take long, and we would not be undertaking it if we were not confident that our internal rough IRRs looked robust.

Kind regards,

Andrew Bell

mmm

Now that is more like it!

Update - production and new tenements

http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/201106161359195787I.html

Good news from here on by the looks of it, should put a boost up RGM as well.

Surprised to see this drop after that update. Expected a rise.

Expect 6p imo.

For what reasons?

Our listed assets JMS, ASMP, RSL, CUE and NMR alone are worth 4.5p/share.

So you think Colombia, Kenya, Greenland, Kansai and the rest are worth 1.5p/share?

Sorry, but 'LOL'.

This should be back in the teens now.

Because regardless of the fundamentals of the company, the whole market is in decline at the moment, with the miners in particular pulling the market down. Added to that, those that trade the graphs only, ignoring the fundamentals, are still seeing a down trend, with good support for the sp at around the 6p level. Added to that, whether you or I think the sp should be higher than it is by valuing the assets alone, the reality is that the sp is still in decline. 'Should be' doesn't count for very much at present, sadly.

So basically what you are saying is, its been going down and therefore its going to carry on going down until it stops going down.

Also on my watchlist of 60+ small mining stocks at least 25 are up today, so what you're saying about the general market doesn't wash.

I didn't say 'today'. So you are saying that the market in general is going up? You might want to look at the FTSE charts.
Yes, there are people who just trade the charts, who couldn't care less about the company and what it does. The trend is currently down for RRR and has not reversed that trend yet.
The reality is that the RRR sp has gone down from approx 16p to approx 7p. I don't think any holders of this stock are going to like that fact, but you haven't suggested any reasons yourself for the steady decline. Lots of reasons why it should go up, but at present it's not!

I don't think its particularly relevant to RRR. Yes it is perhaps one influence but there are many more influences that are far more relevant such as the price of commodities, and perhaps the fact that El Limon is now becoming the success we were promised last year.

The reason for the decline is a combination of shorting and disillusioned holders. A fall does perpetuate itself by causing weak holders to throw in the towel and stop-losses to get hit. Just as it perhaps overshot to the upside at 20p last December or January its now completely overshot on the downside. The delays and doubts which caused the initial decline are now coming good. The fact is yesterdays RNS 'should' have prompted a decent shareprice increase.
