Bei diesem Verwässerungstempo geht Nevsun definitiv den Bach runter. Das Management hätte ne Runde chinesische Wasserfolter verdient!
Die Verscherbeln den Laden Schritt für Schritt zu Ausverkaufspreisen - und ob aus Bisha je was wird, ist ja auch immer noch offen. Ich war mal ziemlich nah am Einstieg, doch nun ist der Titel wegen finanzieller Inkompetenz des Managements für mich gestorben.

Ja,wie schon gesagt,es ist zum ko......
Denn die hocken auf einem der besten Goldvorkommen weltweit.
Dazu noch die politischen Malaisen.............Sind schon zur Depotleiche mutiert.

Auch im Kriegsfall durch die Regierung.
Das ist insoweit neu,da Eritrea bisher sogar Schwierigkeiten bereitete. -
Edel, da gab es schon immer Stunk, die UN muss dort Kindermaedchen spielen, was will man gross erwarten, das ist Afrika und wer immer die Regierung ist wird natuerlich Nevsun unterstuetzen das Gold in ihre Tasche indirekt zu liefern.
Da laeut alles wie geschmiert, besonders in den Kontinent.

Eldo,soweit richtig.
Aber die ticken wohl allmählich,daß eine produzierende Mine mehr abwirft.
Hoffentlich auch mal für ein paar unentwegte (doofe ) Aktionäre. -

UPDATED RESOURCE STATEMENT FOR THE BISHA DEPOSIT IN ERITREA
Nevsun Resources Ltd (NSU-TSX and AMEX) (“The Company”) is pleased to announce an updated independent resource estimate for the Bisha volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit in Eritrea. The 2005 Bisha Resource Statement will be incorporated into the Final Bisha Feasibility Study.
A scoping study on the Bisha deposit, utilizing the 2004 resource statement, was released by AMEC Americas Limited (“AMEC”) in December 2005. The robust economic results of this Bisha Scoping Study were released to the public on December 9th, 2005. A 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary Assessment for the Bisha Project was filed on December 30, 2005 and can be viewed on http://www.nevsun.com.
Highlights:
The noteworthy improvements between the 2005 Bisha Resource Statement (Table 1) and the October 2004 Bisha Resource Statement are:
a) The addition of the measured resource category.
b) An 8% increase in gold grade within the measured and indicated categories of the oxide layer and a 4% increase in the gold metal content to bring the total gold in the measured and indicated category to 1.084 million ounces.
c) A 14% increase in copper grade within the measured and indicated categories of the supergene copper horizon and a 12% increase in copper metal content to bring the total supergene copper in the measured and indicated category to 655.87 million pounds.
d) A 2% increase in zinc grade within the measured and indicated categories of the primary Zn (>2.0% Zn) body and a 4% increase in the zinc metal content to 1.74 billion pounds.
e) A 100% increase in tonnage in the inferred category to 11.726 million tonnes from the previous 5.85 million tonnes.
f) Overall measured and indicated Cu resources in the supergene and primary horizons now stands at 1,005 million pounds.
g) Overall Zn resources (>2%) in the measured and indicated primary horizons now stands at 1,956 million pounds
h) The inferred resources category now contains 1.38 billion pounds of Zn and 235 million pounds of Cu.
To view a historical comparison of the 2005 vs the 2004 Bisha Resource Estimate click here.
The 2005 Bisha Resource Statement is based on 347 diamond and 9 reverse circulation pre-collar diamond drill holes covering a strike length of 1,200 metres and to depths varying from surface to 375 metres. No data from RC holes was utilized.(The October 2004 Bisha Resource Statement was based on 310 diamond, 9 reverse circulation pre-collar diamond drill holes and 33 reverse circulation holes.)
This resource estimate was completed by AMEC, a major international engineering services company, and complies with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as required by National Instrument 43-101.
The Bisha Main VMS Deposit has three distinct mineralized zones, the near surface oxide gold zone, a supergene copper zone and the primary sulphide zones (See Figure 1 in this release).
AMEC has identified an additional noteworthy mineral resource within the primary horizon that contains >0.5% copper but <2% zinc that was not included in the 2004 resource statement. This has added significant tonnage and contained metal to the resource statement.

A more complete breakdown of resource categories as they relate to tonnage, metal content and grade and a comparison to the 2004 resource calculation can be observed on the Nevsun website at http://www.nevsun.com.
Estimation Methodolo
This resource model was created using industry standard techniques. The block grades were estimated within domains based on interpretation of geologic parameters logged in drill holes. Sectional spacings of 12.5 to 25 metres were used for the basic interpretations. The sectional interpretations were subsequently rationalized in plan. Solid (wireframe) models were created from these and became the basis for coding the block model. Grades were estimated using multiple passes of ordinary kriging with search neighborhoods conforming to the geological trend and geostatistical properties of the deposit. All assays with less than 60% core recovery were removed from the database.
Restriction of extreme grades was used to remove metal at risk as derived from analyses of the assay distributions. The metal at risk analysis is essentially a Monte Carlo simulation study, the output of which is an amount of metal deemed to be at a sufficiently high risk to be removed from the resource. High grade search restrictions were employed to remove the metal, helping to ensure that model grades and tonnages will be realized during mining. Calibrated in the Measured and Indicated blocks of the model, approximately 8% of the gold in the oxide horizon, 3% of the zinc in the primary zinc domain, 20% of the silver in the oxide horizon and 5% of the copper in the supergene horizon was removed.
Bulk density in the oxide zones was estimated by averaging the measurements from within the modeled mineralization zones. Within the supergene and primary zones, multiple regression was used to establish a relationship between specific gravity determinations and iron, copper, lead, zinc, sulphur and barium analyses. This relationship was then applied to the model blocks.
Variography and confidence limit analyses were used in conjunction with confidence in geological modeling and database integrity to develop resource classification criteria. Measured resources were defined by drillholes spaced 25 metres apart on 12.5 metre spaced sections. Those portions of the resource drilled with holes spaced 25 metres apart on 25 metre spaced sections were classified as Indicated. Inferred resources were defined to be the remainder of the resource within 50 metres of drilling. All categories of resource material were restricted to the geologically interpreted mineralization domains.
The geologic model was formulated by Nevsun under the supervision of Bill Nielsen, P.Geo. Nevsun’s V.P. of Exploration. Geologic modeling was completed by Nevsun and AMEC. The Bisha QA/QC program used to monitor the accuracy of the assay database was reviewed and verified by AMEC’s Qualified Person, Douglas Reddy, P.Geo. Mr. Reddy made a site visit to the Bisha Property in May 2004. Resource modeling was carried out using Gemcom software by Steve Blower, P.Geo. of AMEC who is also the QP for the resource model.
Additional resource potential and future work
Not included in the above resource tabulations are areas of additional resource potential. A wide-spread zone of mineralization consisting of disseminated copper sulphides in oxidized and acidified rocks has also been identified approximately 250 meters into the hanging wall (west) of the Bisha Main Deposit. Examples of this disseminated style of mineralization include holes such as B-111 that encountered 39 metres grading 1.08% copper and B-87 that intersected 31.5 metres assaying 1.44% copper.
Forward Looking Statements: The above contains forward looking statements that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward looking statements. Factors that could case such differences include: changes in world commodity markets, equity markets, costs and supply of materials relevant to the mining industry, change in government and changes to regulations affecting the mining industry. Forward-looking statements in this release include statements regarding the additional resource potential and final feasibility study. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward looking statements are reasonable, results may vary, and we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

"Conclusion
There's no such thing as a 'sure bet' in mining investments. But investors who follow the old maxim "buy when there's blood in the streets," would do well to hop on board Nevsun before it's too late."

Sehe den Scheintoten engültig aus der Gruft steigen.
Wenn sich das politische Umfeld stabilisiert,wie es aussieht,sieht es sehr gut aus.
Hoffnungsvoller Chart zudem.

Wie oft wollte ich die NSU schon feuern!
Bin wohl zurzeit einer der wenigen,die Bestände halten.Wenn sich sowas wie hier entwickelt,kommt natürlich besondere Freude auf.
Ein Vergleich mit dem HUI:

TABAKOTO MINE UPDATE
Nevsun Resources Ltd. (NSU-TSX and AMEX) is very pleased to report that the final stage of commissioning of the Tabakoto Mine processing plant is nearing completion. The commissioning of the milling operations commenced in February/March 2006 with soft low grade oxide ore being fed to the plant via an auxiliary crushing unit. This allowed the milling, leaching and tailings disposal facilities to be fully commissioned while company staff completed the construction of the three stage crushing plant. Tabakoto’s higher grade unoxidised ore (+5.0 g/t Au) :]are extremely hard and require three stages of crushing to a half inch product to feed the ball mill at its design of 2000 tonnes per day.
The first gold pour was made at Tabakoto in late March and the first gold shipment was made in mid May. On Monday May 22nd the President of Mali, President Amadou Toumani Toure, officially opened the Tabakoto Mine.
By the end of April ore processing was running at about 90% of design tonnage and by the end of June at design tonnage. With the main feed to the plant continuing to be softer low grade oxide ores, the mill circuit will only be able to be fully tested when the crushing plant has been completed. During the commissioning period to the end of June over 10,000 ounces of gold has been poured.
Commissioning of the primary and secondary crushers commenced in mid June. Bringing the tertiary crusher on stream has taken a further month during which time some modifications to the plant were completed, essential spares were delivered, the primary and secondary units were tested, and site staff were trained. The Company expects a further two weeks of testing before the tertiary crusher is fully commissioned.
Since January 2006, Nevsun has completed the building of the process and site facilities at the Tabakoto Mine using its own management and staff complemented with some key supervisors and skilled artisans retained from the original construction engineering company. Nevsun’s Chief Operating Officer, Gerry Gauthier comments “Finishing the build program at Tabakoto and bringing each stage of the plant on stream ourselves has had its challenges. Building the team and training site staff at the same time has allowed our people to show their metal. We can now look forward to getting on with optimising operations and reassessing our exploration opportunities” :).
