PROJECT OF JINFU COAL MINE CONSTRUCTION REGION SHANXI PROVINCE APPROVED BY CATEGORY METALLURGY & MINING TOTAL INVESTMENT
Project progress: Checking stage Recent Project progress: carry on previous works Abstract: The project construction size is annual production capacity of 1,800,000 ton. Project name: Project Of Jinfu Coal Mine Brief introduction: The project construction size: The project, Jinfu Coal Mine is located in west of Liuduandi County, Dongyu Village, Qingxu Town, acquired mining right in Oct.2004, listed in provincial “two regions”development projects in July.2006 ,provincial coal industry “11th five-year “coal Development Program(option) and state mine field general planning in Sep.2007. Approved mine area: 19.4763km2. Those works,” one five-ping” project, river repair, 1,500,000 m2 earthwork rechannel, repairing roads of 12km, spanning 35kv lines of 10km and communication line of 10km, are completed now with completed investment of more than 90 million Yuan. The project construction size is annual production capacity of 1,800,000 ton. The investment is unknown. Meijin Coal Mine gasification Co., Ltd is one of key enterprises of undertaking gas produce and supply for resident manufacture and living-used in Qingxu county, Taiyuan urban district. Because of lack of self coal source basement, normally gas supply in cities has been influenced by coal price fluctuation and coal source intensity from time to time. So Meijin Coal Mine gasification Co., Ltd will construct assorted a set of Jinfu coal mine with annual design production capacity of 1,800,000 ton. www.chinabidding.org

BLUE RIDGE PLATINUM-GROUP METALS PROJECT, SOUTH AFRICA
Blue Ridge platinum-group metals (PGMs) project, Bushveld Complex, South Africa.
The project envisages a mine comprising two decline shafts, which, at full capacity, will extract 120 000 t/m, with a mill head grade of 3,3 g/t of PGMs, producing 75 000 oz/y of platinum, 35 000 oz/y of palladium, 13 000 oz/y of rhodium and 1 600 oz/y of gold, totalling 125 00oz/y over a projected life-of-mine of 18 years.
An offtake agreement has been signed with Impala Refining Services under which Impala has committed to acquire all the proposed production from the Blue Ridge mine. Value Banking finance has been signed for $107-million. Duration The mine is scheduled to reach full capacity mid-2009. Client Ridge Mining and Imbani Platinum. In 2007, Imbani Platinum acquired a 50% stake in the project. Key contracts and suppliers The Industrial Development Corporation , the Development Bank of Southren Africa, Standard Bank and Investec (project finance); SRK South Africa (environmental and social studies); Ralph Morris Associates (reserves and mine planning); Murray & Roberts Cementation (mining contractor); and Bateman Engineering (process plant design).

Letlhakane uranium project, Botswana.
The proposed project invovles the construction of Botswana’s first uranium mine in Letlhakane. A scoping study conducted on the Letlhakane site has confirmed a resource of 280-million tons, at 158 parts per million uranium oxide (U3O8) for 44 500 t of contained concentrate. The study concluded that the shallow-lying ore will be extracted by conventional openpit mining equipment under a typical mining contract, where the contractor assumes responsibility for all earth works to the point at which run-of-mine production is delivered to the crushers.
The crushed ore will be staked on a purpose-designed leach pad. Alkaline heap leaching, solvent extraction and ion exchange will then recover the U3 O8. Site power will be sourced through a new 10-km power line connection to the Botswana state grid at the switch station in Serule. The water will be sourced from a borefield development into aquifers within the exploration tenement. This has yet to be verified.
The proposed project will cost an estimated $169-million. Duration The company plans to apply for a mining licence from the government of Botswana in early 2010. The plan is to bring the mine into production by 2011.
