MASSIVE REBOUND USA
Markets going to jump big tomorrow
opportunity THE WORLD NEEDS LOTS OF LITHIUM for decades
Global warming isnt going away.
im hoping BEM can shrug it off next couple weeks fingers crossed
rest of the market in tatters
1 Million tons Nickel and 300k Tons copper anyone care to work that out ;)
· In-balance B + C1 + C2 totals 150.0 million ore tonnes averaging 0.77% nickel (1.15 million tonnes), 0.21% copper (0.32 million tonnes) and 0.015% cobalt (22.7 thousand tonnes). An additional off-balance tonnage ranging from 13.3 million to 14.9 million tonnes (C1 + C2) averaging 0.64% nickel, 0.18% copper and 0.012% cobalt is located external the Lerchs Grossman 0.3% ultimate pit limit boundaries.
· Russian B + C1 reserve inclusive of in-balance and off-balance totals 144.2 million ore tonnes containing 1.10 million nickel tonnes and 304 thousand copper tonnes. In the 30 June 2021 RNS, the RPM Asia JORC Measured and Indicated (CRIRSCO) resource totaled 148.3 million ore tonnes containing 1.11 million nickel tonnes and 310 thousand copper tonnes. Russian and JORC equivalent resources are virtually identical.
So August 2021 submitted must be close to update on this??
Anyone care to clarify
Robin Young, CEO of Amur Minerals, commented:
"Submission of the independently compiled Permanent Conditions TEO in now complete. Going forward, the process will include a series of meetings between our team and the experts of various disciplines representing the GKZ. These are best viewed as negotiations, modifications and updates to the report. There is a calendar to completion of the work which is presently being finalised by the GKZ representative appointed to our Kun-Manie project. We shall revert once the schedule and key decision points are established."
Comments on bulletin board speculation of funding
We note that there has been speculation on the internet regarding the inclusion of the Kun-Manie nickel copper project as a priority mining investment project for the Amur Region within the Plan for Social Development of Economic Growth Centre in the Amur Region, approved by the order of the Government of the Amur Region (as amended 1 July 2021). This is only an amendment to older documents and approvals. Kun-Manie was approved and listed in 2015. This confusion occurs intermittently and is most often resurfaces when Amur Oblast updates budgets and schedules expenditures which includes already listed priority projects.
We recommend that shareholders and those that are interested follow the various links that have been provided on the bulletin boards, fully read and digest the substantial information contained therein, especially as to how a project becomes a priority project and what is needed to obtain funding. Note, being on the list does not mean new funding has been provided, a company has access to funding. The Company works closely with a large number of agencies in Russia to secure funding for Kun-Manie and will announce any funding that is secured.
Summary:
· Based on Oreall's independent calculation of operating costs, metallurgical recoveries of metals (economically dominated by nickel and copper) into two saleable battery precursor concentrate products, the nickel cutoff grade is calculated to be 0.3% nickel only. Revenue is based on a presently conservative nickel price of US$ 13,300/t (US$ 6.00/lb - US$ 8.40/lb today) and a copper price of US$5,960/t (US$2.70/lb - US$ 3.98/lb today). Metal recoveries are anticipated to be 73.5% for nickel and 52.3% for copper.
· For now, production will be completed using open pit mining methods only. A minimum mining thickness of five meters has been utilised, intercalated waste of up to five meters is included and pit slope analyses have identified numerous mine slope angles based on pit wall location, dip direction and rock type. Pit slopes will vary from 37o to 55o. Mining losses are projected to be 2.6% with dilution of 8.8%.
· In-balance B + C1 + C2 totals 150.0 million ore tonnes averaging 0.77% nickel (1.15 million tonnes), 0.21% copper (0.32 million tonnes) and 0.015% cobalt (22.7 thousand tonnes). An additional off-balance tonnage ranging from 13.3 million to 14.9 million tonnes (C1 + C2) averaging 0.64% nickel, 0.18% copper and 0.012% cobalt is located external the Lerchs Grossman 0.3% ultimate pit limit boundaries.
· Russian B + C1 reserve inclusive of in-balance and off-balance totals 144.2 million ore tonnes containing 1.10 million nickel tonnes and 304 thousand copper tonnes. In the 30 June 2021 RNS, the RPM Asia JORC Measured and Indicated (CRIRSCO) resource totaled 148.3 million ore tonnes containing 1.11 million nickel tonnes and 310 thousand copper tonnes. Russian and JORC equivalent resources are virtually identical.
· Mine ore production and the nominal mill throughput at six million tonnes per annum indicates a potential mine life in the order of 25 years. Oreall has determined that the reserve base is substantial and suitable to potentially sustain an 11.2 million tonne per year throughput.
· Open pit mining operating costs per ore tonne including waste totals US$ 14.79. All other costs per ore tonne total $33.25 per ore tonne.
· The initial and life of mine sustaining capital costs are projected to be approximately US$ 1.0 billion. Working capital expenditures are projected to be US$ 83 million.
Key portions of the report remain to be translated from Russian. Upon completion of the translation, a comparative analysis of the results generated by Oreall for the TEO and the independently compiled February 2019 Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") will be provided. There are substantial upgrades and modifications to the February 2019 PFS. Many of which are related to metallurgical improvements by the development of a flowsheet allowing for the capture of two concentrate products.

Kun-Manie TEO Submitted For Review
Amur Minerals Corporation ("Amur" or the "Company"), the exploration and resource development company, is pleased to announce that Oreall LLC ("Oreall") has completed the Permanent Conditions Report ("TEO") on its far east Russia Kun-Manie nickel copper sulfide project. Oreall's analysis and documentation is complete and is now undergoing the mandatory review process by the Russian Government Commission for Natural Resources Reserves ("GKZ"). Completion of the GKZ review will establish the reserves available for open pit mining at its "Detailed Exploration and Mining Production" licence (BLG 15883 TE). Subsequent approval, the reserves will be utilised to establish the Russian approved mine plan for Kun-Manie.
Oreall results are based on the cumulative exploration information and comprehensive technical reports on mining, processing, metallurgical recoveries, engineering, intermediate product generation of both nickel and copper concentrates, environmental setting, transport and non-binding offtake agreements specific to the Kun-Manie mineralisation. Moscow based Oreall has compiled Russian based project specific operating and capital cost estimates using a team of industry recognised specialists / experts. Oreall has concluded and states that Kun-Manie is ready for industrial development.
AMC notes that reserves reported herein are in accordance with Russian reserve reporting standards as JORC standards are not utilised in the definition or classification of mineralisation in the Russian Federation. There are three Russian categories identified as B, C1 and C2. Those that are within an open pit or mined as ore from underground openings are reported as in-balance reserves whilst those not mined or below cutoff grade are off-balance reserves. Per the Committee for Mineral Reserves - International Reporting Standards ("CRIRSCO"), Russian and western resources / reserves are correlative. Russian B reserves equate to Proved when within a pit with Russian C1 approximating Probable Mineral Reserves.
7 trading days until Sami deadline for comments........ then the big news within a month
looking good amazed UK lagging that rise
feels strong expecting news that will move this higher soon
ADF thanks for this update............... expecting a good recovery week ahead and onwards to the big YES
intriguing
macro picture in markets caused a wobble.
I banked some gains and done extremely well i have to say but will wait a while before buying back. Left my profits to run.

If you take a Tesla battery 60kg is lithium
That's 18000 tons of lithium required annually just from that plant
'It is estimated that there’s about 63 kg of lithium in a 70 kWh Tesla Model S battery pack, which weighs over 1,000 lbs (~453 kg).'
I'm sure mostly buys but last few days have seen bigger
Expecting more news shortly regarding shipping
Are really the only game in town as has been said. Tech Ect topped out and big money rotating into green sustainable sectors the next 10 years are crucial for EV to play a part in fighting global wRming
ill really celebrate when 67p++ paid
