Evil discusses dinner with Andy Cranswick of African Consolidated Minerals and a hat based conundrum...

Markets: Breakeven
Sports: Breakeven
Thought for the day: Black and white answers

Last night I went over aspects of African Consolidated Minerals (AFCR) with its boss Andy Cranswick. Given the frustrations that he has faced and continues to face he has an equable temperament. He has a long career in southern and central African mining behind him and, hopefully, in front of him. For it is inescapably true that AfCons assets are massive - yet the entire shooting match at 2.5p is valued at just £15 million.

Take the Marenge diamond mine in Zimbabwe. This was stolen from Afcons by a few of Mugabe's generals and is producing annual illicit profits, harvested with the assistance of white men from South Africa, of many many times AfCons's capitalisation. All the Zimbabwean courts have ruled in AfCons's favour. Restitution of this alone would have a staggering effect on AfCons's share price.

Mugabe is fairly close to departing and thus, although there can be no advance in Zimbabwe until he has gone, Andy is optimistic since, in his opinion, the soldiers that will run the show will see and execute sense. If so, AfCons share price will leap a long long way - quite possibly well past 50p.

African Consolidated reports progress at Zim gold projects
JOHANNESBURG (second hand complete granite quarry plantminingweekly.com) − Aim-listed resource and development company African Consolidated Resources expected to start first-phase production at its Pickstone gold project, in Zimbabwe, in mid-2012.

The Zimbabwe-focused company said the project, although subject to funding, is successfully on route in its development to generate cash through its Pickstone sulphide tailings dump project.

Cash generation could fund subsequent investment in production phases at Pickstone, while affording the company a more aggressive drillout of other assets, said CEO Andrew Cranswick in a statement.

Throughout the project ramp-up and production, the company had remained committed to full compliance with Zimbabwe's indigenisation regulations.

African Consolidated was confident that it would raise funding and would announce its progress within the next quarter, he said.

Meanwhile, the miner reported that 10 700 m of drilling, to upgrade current Joint Ore Reserves Committee- (Jorc-) compliant resource of one-million troy ounces, had been undertaken at its Gazema gold project.

These results were expected to be released in the first quarter of 2012.

Executive chairperson Roy Tucker said African Consolidated believed the total project resource was likely to be higher and the Gadzema gold project could develop into a major mine.

“However, the ongoing resource definition would run in parallel with research on the funding of such a large-scale operation, given the internationally perceived political risk to finance opportunities in Zimbabwe,” he added.

More than 35 000 m had been drilled in Gadzema and, while awaiting assays from the latest campaign, the company was planning the next resource drill out.

It is hoped that the bulk of the future funding would be sourced from the near-term production at Pickstone.

Meanwhile, in line with African Consolidated’s planned Zambian expansion, particularly in the Greater Kasempa iron-oxide/copper/gold district, in north-west Zambia, several asset acquisitions have been concluded while several more were under discussion. A broad exploration of the highly prospective region was under way.

African Consolidated, on Thursday, reported a loss of $1.7-million in the six months to September 30, 2011.

AFCR presentation last week:

http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/gen ... _ver_5.pdf

Simon Cawkwell saying AFCR could go to 50p, currently 2.5p.

I see it is 2nd in Chip's valuation table, probably due to Zimbabwe and Mugabe effect.

4.3m ounces for £15m seems a bit of a nil brainer down here.

FANTASTIC TABLE AND NO2

The idea behind this thread is to create a 'talking shop' regarding potential upside available across the small-cap PM explorers/developers. These are mainly AIM-listed, but some are also listed on overseas recognised exchanges and therefore qualify for ISA inclusion.

I will update the following table on a regular basis. Please excuse errors and omissions.
Table is ordered by MkCap/Resource Value (MC/Res) shown as a percentage - cheapest at the top!
