Used Mining Equipment for Sale - A Good Option for Small Miners During Tough Times

The mining industry has been hit hard by the economic meltdown, falling price of commodities and the lack of credit making used mining equipment for sale an attactive option to keep operations going for smaller miners. While mining giants such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Anglo-American will remain robust, it is the smaller, junior miners who risk withering away or being taken over.

As with other sectors of the economy, access to cash is crucial. "Cash is becoming king – so those miners who can get and use cash are in a strong position," says Jonathan Lambert, director at PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) in London. "It is a cash-intensive business and 2008 is proving a very difficult year to raise finance.

Heavy Equipment for Sale for the Bridge of the Horns

The Bridge of the Horns, will be one of the great engineering feats of this century and will be good for heavy equipment for sale. The bridge will link Yemen of the Middle East to the Island of Perim in the Red Sea and on to Djibouti in the African continent. The Red Sea is one of the busiest and most important seaways in the world and the construction as well as the service of the bridge will have to allow this heavy transit. The bridge will allow much greater transportation speed of more cargo and people from one continent to another.

It will be a 28.5 km (17.8 miles) long cable-stayed bridge. The suspension portion of the bridge will be the longest in the world. There will be six lanes of vehicle roadway and 4 rail lines, allowing 100′000 cars and 50′000 rail riders to cross the bridge every day.

A budget of $8.4 billion, a load of construction equipment for the MGM CityCenter

MGM Mirage builds the CityCenter in Las Vegas, Nevada. With a budget of $8.4 billion, a load of construction equipment and estimated completion date in 2009, the project will take 200 million gallons of concrete and a spot on the Las Vegas Strip. MGM Mirage has filled in the last 76 acres of available real estate on the center portion of the Las Vegas Strip with the largest privately funded construction project in the United States. CityCenter, a multi-use plaza with three hotels, a casino, luxury apartments, and retail and dining facilities, will cover about 18 million square feet and may cost as much as $8.4 billion. But MGM is not the only one footing the bill. Dubai World, the state-controlled investment fund, dished out $5 billion for the project and now holds a 50 percent stake in the megaresort.

Used Mining Equipment Eases Out Cash Shortage

In early December, PWC released a report on junior miners coinciding with the Mines and Money Conference in London stating measures to cushion capital shortage with used mining equipment. In 2007, of the top 50 AIM mining companies listed on the main board, eight were acquired and 13 reported no revenue. Overall there was an 81% increase in revenue due to the rise of commodity prices; but despite this, profitability decreased. 2008 started on a high as these companies were using their existing cash resources but a lot of internal funds had been used, so they did not have cash to expand.

Lambert says that the market capitalisation for AIM in 2007 was £11.8bn at the end of December 2007 but by the end of October 2008 it had fallen to just £3.2bn. Junior miners are therefore taking steps to ensure they appear more profitable despite the difficultly of securing extra financing by the end of the year.
