Lisbon Valley Copper Mine, San Juan County, Utah Production Update
======================================================
Wednesday February 7 anno 2007
DENVER, CO, Feb. 7 /CNW Telbec/ -
Constellation Copper Corporation (CCU: TSX)
wishes to report production data for its wholly-owned Lisbon Valley copper mine located in San Juan County, Utah.
Sales in January totaled 2,017,000 pounds of cathode copper (all LME Grade A) at an average price of $2.94/lb.
Cathode harvested during the month totaled 1,885,000 pounds.
The company carried an inventory of 677,000 lbs. of cathode copper into
February, with initial shipment of the inventoried copper scheduled for this week.
Acid leaching of ore on the leach pad is continuing to improve.
The flow of pregnant leach solution (pls) from the leach pad has been
averaging 5,000 gallons per minute (gpm) in December and January.
The average pls grade of +1.8 grams per litre (gpl) Cu in early February
represents an increase of 10% over the average pls grade in December
and January. The current pls flows and copper grades are approximately
70% of design rates for full capacity.
Copper plating however has been lower than expected due to recent cold
temperatures on site. At cold temperatures the solvent extraction
process is not as efficient and is slower than at warmer temperatures.
As a result, we have slowed our solvent extraction process down to an
average of 91% of design capacity in January. In addition, extraction
efficiency is down to about 87% of design rates. The combined effects
are such that we plated copper during January at about 79% of the
forecasted rate for the month. The balance of the copper in solution is
being re-circulated back onto the leach pad, which will serve to increase
the pls grades of new solution coming off the leach pad as the solution
re-circulates through the heap. This process is known as "stacking"
solution. We expect the slower plating rate to continue through February
due to continued cold temperatures, and for plating rates to increase in
March once warmer temperatures return. Meanwhile, solution grades
should build as we re-circulate ("stack") the solution that we are unable
to process through solvent extraction due to cold temperatures.
We will be converting the solvent extraction facility from series to parallel
configuration sometime in March, once warmer temperatures prevail.
This conversion will allow us to increase design flow rates from 4,300
gpm to 5,000 gpm,
an increase of 16% over current design capacity, and thereby process all 5,000 gpm of pls flow coming
off the heap through solvent extraction and electrowinning.
PLS grades should increase to +2 gpl Cu in March. At 5,000 gpm and 2 gpl Cu
we would be processing copper in solution at about 80% of current
design rates. In March our plating rates should get back to normal, as
solvent extraction efficiencies increase with increasing temperatures.

Auszug:
Mining Manpower Crisis
===================
By Alf Field auf kitko
=================
February 5, 2007
There is a manpower crisis in the form of a skilled worker shortage that is having an adverse impact on the mining industry. Whatever one is interested in, be it gold, silver, platinum, uranium, base metals, or other mining operations, this situation is impacting on all forms of mining. It will influence the way investors view mining companies. Current mining operations will struggle to maintain production while new projects will be delayed.
Most importantly, the skilled manpower crisis will slow the supply of newly mined metals to the market which will have implications for the prices of all metals.
To properly appreciate the situation one needs to understand that most metals, gold, silver, platinum, uranium, base metals and others have been in bear markets lasting 25, and in some cases 30, years. During those bear market years there was an attrition of skilled mining manpower. Young people looking for new careers carefully avoided the “No Go” areas of geology, mining engineering and other mining skills.
With declining student demand, Universities and colleges reduced or closed their geology and mining faculties. The supply of new graduates to the mining industry has been dropping steadily and there is now only a trickle of graduates coming through the system.
During the past few years new bull markets have developed simultaneously in gold, silver, platinum, uranium and base metals. These bull markets have spawned a vast array of new companies, all looking to find new large deposits of their favourite metal and bring new projects on stream. The demand for skilled workers in the mining industry has mushroomed.
Where will the additional skilled manpower come from? Not only to find and develop new projects, but also to keep existing mining operations producing adequately?
Increasingly the words “production declines due to labour and infrastructure shortages” are appearing in company reports. Delays in the preparation of Feasibility Studies are often being blamed on a “labour shortage”. There is an rising incidence of new projects being delayed and subjected to massively higher capital costs, for example BHP’s new Ravensthorpe Nickel mine where establishment costs have escalated from $1.1 billion to over $2.2 billion. There is no firm indication as to when Ravensthorpe will come on stream.
The average age of the existing complement of skilled mining manpower has been rising and there is a steady loss of people as they reach retirement age. Half the workers in the Canadian mining industry are between 40 and 54 years of age and 40% plan to retire in the next 8 years. The supply of new graduates barely covers the retiree loss

Radio Australia - News - Fiji mining company up for sale
[http://www.abc.net.au/ra/news/stories/s1841643.htm]
Last Updated 06/02/2007
Emperor Gold Mines has put its Fiji operations up for sale after 70 years of operating in the Pacific nation.
More than 1,700 miners lost their jobs last year when Emperor's Vatukoula mine closed its operations.
But Emperor's General Manager, Fraser Bouchier, says issues like higher fuel prices and the infrastructure and capital required have made operating the mine too expensive.
Emperor will report an almost $US155 million half-year loss.
Mr Bouchier says it would be easy to restart mining, but a company is unlikely to make any money unless things change significantly.
"So I would think they would probably come to the same conclusion we came to," he said.
"[There is] great potential but no-one's going to go in and start mining until you drill off and find out where the gold is and do a proper feasability study."

Harmony expects more out of PNG
============================
Johannesburg - South Africa's Harmony Gold said on Tuesday it had upgraded its gold and copper resource estimates for its Golpu gold and copper deposit in Papua New Guinea.
Harmony, the world's fifth-biggest gold producer, said its new mineral resources estimate was for 3.9 billion pounds of copper and 2.96 million ounces of gold.
"This represents an increase of 10% copper metal, 11% gold and 17% molybdenum," Harmony said in a statement.
The new estimate did not include 6.5 million ounces of gold at the Wafi deposits, Harmony said.
Harmony said last week it planned to seek a partner for the copper-rich Wafi/Golpu project after a feasibility study was done in July.

Harmony seeks to roll over loan
Johannesburg - Bernard Swanepoel, chief executive of Harmony Gold, on Friday said he has had discussions with Rand Merchant Bank to extend the payback date on a R1 billion loan, taken out a year ago to purchase the company's stake in Western Areas.
"We have had constructive discussions about rolling it," Swanepoel told journalists at the company's December quarter results announcement.
This waylays ideas of pressure on Harmony, with R904 million in cash in the bank as at end-December, to sell its shares in Gold Fields at a loss in order to pay back the loan by its mid-March due date.
Gold Fields purchased its stake in Western Areas last September by using cash and its own shares to close the deal.
A large overhang of shares became available when Barrick, Harmony and JCI became large shareholders, while Gold Fields itself was expected to sell its own shares to pay down debt.
On Wednesday Gold Fields completed the sale of 1.2 billion shares, leaving Barrick, Harmony and JCI as the remaining large potential sellers.
If Harmony sold any of its Gold Fields shares now it would do so at a loss, with the shares currently trading at about R120.50 compared with the R135 a share that they were recorded at when the company tendered its shares on December 1.
Harmony owns about 15.745 million Gold Fields shares. - I-Net Bridge
