Good afternoon Midlands Minerals Investors!
As previously indicated, Midlands Minerals today presented at the "2008 Geo Framework of the Business of Exploration & Mining" event hosted by Market Motion Media. Agoracom was present at the presentation, and presents a smattering of key points obtained from the symposium. These points are displayed in no particular order:
- Kim Harris emphasized that Ghana & Tanzania, the two countries in which Midlands operates, are amongst the most stable mining regions in Africa.
- Midlands main gold project, the Sian property, is located only 30km SW from the 8.7M + ounce gold deposit operated by Newmont Mining Corp.
- Sian has close to 400,000 ounces of gold (192,400 indicated; 203,350 inferred)
- About 40% of Midlands Minerals share ownership is institutional-based. Some of these institutions can be considered conservative firms.
- The cost of building a mine today runs on average between 300 & 400 million dollars. Since Midlands already has a mine built on their flagship property Sian (courtesy of former tenants), the operation costs of setting up a mine are greatly reduced. Furthermore, Midlands owns other valuable infrastructure such as a self-contained leetching facility and access to full power.
- Kim Harris also emphasized that the Sian property is completely surrounded by Newmont Mining.
