Scoping Study Calls For $1.7 Billion In Annual Profits

April 17th, 2008

Good morning to you all. I’m proud to announce that our newest client - Legend International Holdings (LGDI:OTCBB) released significant results from a scoping study on its phosphate projects in Queensland, Australia. Quite frankly, these are the biggest numbers I have ever seen , the highlights of which are included below:

The scoping study was conducted by British Sulphur, a division of CRU International. They prepared initial project capital and operating costs assuming sale prices for phosphate of US$100 per tonne fob, US$200 per tonne fob, US$300 per tonne fob and US$400 per tonne fob.

In March 2008, sales of Moroccan product at US$400 per tonne fob Morocco were recorded. Phosphate isn’t priced on a daily market like gold or soybeans, so you have to take actual market transactions.

Based on $US 400/tonne:

  • Annual Gross Earnings - $US 1.7 Billion
  • 5 Million Tonnes Of Production Per Year
  • Historically Defined Phosphate Deposits of 1.463 billion tonnes
  • At $300 Per Tonne, Annual Gross Earnings - $US 1.2 Billion
  • At $200 Per Tonne Annual Gross Earnings - $US 700 Million
  • Phosphate Prices Driven By Global Agricultural Demand For Fertilizer
  • CAPEX Of $826 Million To Construct Infrastructure

Given the gravity of these figures, I also think it is important to note the producers of the Scoping Study to make sure it is reliable. The British Sulphur Consultants Division of CRU Group has been the leading business consultancy in the fertilizer and inorganic chemical sector for over 50 years. British Sulphur was the first supplier of information to the fertilizer industry, and remains the largest provider of services to the industry.

As of yesterday’s close, Legend has a market cap of $US 433 Million.

Rolling Rock Resources (RLL: TSXV) - Increases Inferred Gold Resource To 944,000 Ounces

February 22nd, 2008

In a field increasingly being filled with companies lacking great fundamentals, the ultimate differentiator in the junior resource sector is the filing of a 43-101 technical report. Rolling Rock Resources (RLL: TSXV) today announced that the Technical Report supporting the Monument Bay mineral resources as reported on January 8, 2008 is now filed on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. Sedar hadn’t posted it as of the time of this posting, so keep checking back.

In the meantime, here is a summary from the press release:

The new estimation increased the inferred mineral resource by 35% to 944,000 ounces gold from 701,000 ounces gold. The resource estimate was made by Thomas C. Stubens, M.A.Sc. P.Eng., Senior Geologist of Wardrop Engineering Inc.

The report - titled Monument Bay Gold Deposit; Focus on Gold Inventory Update - incorporates all previous work to date including over $28 million of exploration expenditures with over 100,000 metres of diamond drilling. The Technical Report was prepared by J.T. Shearer, M.Sc., P.Geo along with Jose Garcia; the Company’s’ Senior Project Geologist.

Monument Bay is Rolling Rock’s 100% owned flagship project that was acquired in March 2006 from what was then Bema Gold Corporation and Wolfden Resources. Monument Bay is located in Northeastern Manitoba, 350 kilometers southeast of Thompson. Red Sucker Lake, with full hydro electric power and airport services as well as winter road access, lies 60 kilometers to the southwest. The project consists of 35 contiguous claims and a mining exploration license covering 25,706 hectares in area.

For more information, make sure to take a look at both the press release and the report on Sedar.

**Disclosure - Rolling Rock is an AGORACOM client that is currently under construction and scheduled to be launched by the end of the month.  Make sure to visit the HUB at that time and find out more about the company.
