Used Mining Equipment for Sale: for Melton Project, Australia

Used Mining Equipment for Sale: The Melton project comprises tenements EL3911 and EL4000 as MSloane Consulting provides used mining equipment for sale for mining projects worldwide. Situated on the northern Yorke Peninsula, the tenements cover 165km2 in the northern extension of the Pine Point Fault. The region has iron oxide-copper-gold-uranium mineralisation consistent with the fault area. The region also features many distinct magnetic and gravity characteristics. Historical deposits of the Moonta-Wallaroo copper-gold district are found in this region.

The project is situated close to mine and civil infrastructure. Its proximity to major centres and good access to road and rail infrastructure makes it a significant project for Marmota Energy.

To identify the anomalies and gather detailed information about the region's mineralisation, Marmota Energy initiated a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey of the area in September 2009. A close intersection between copper mineralisation, gold and uranium was reported by Rex Minerals, which drilled the hillside prospect, 40km south of the Melton Project. The major intersections at the hillside project included 259m at 1.7% copper and 0.4 g/t gold and 200m at 1.0% copper and 0.2 g/t gold. Anomalous uranium was also reported in several holes.

The survey consisted of flight lines spaced 50m apart. Along with the preliminary magnetic data, the survey revealed up to five high-priority targets in the region. Five anomalies were revealed within the Pine Point fault zone.

The largest anomaly extended for more than 4km, while the smallest measured approximately 1.6km. Two distinct magnetic anomalies trending in the north-south direction extended up to 2km in length. Three magnetic anomalies have also been spotted in the survey, situated west of the fault zone.

Exploration will continue for another six months to determine the structural features of each target area. The company will undertake an infill ground magnetic survey of the region in October 2009.

On its successful completion and indication, the company will further perform a high-resolution ground gravity survey in November 2009. Between November 2009 and February 2010, depending on the harvest requirements, Marmota will conduct drilling tests on the targets.

The exploration will be funded by Marmota Energy. Within two years the company will invest $400,000 on exploration. By early 2010, Marmota will reach 50% of the expenditure commitment. Alongside Marmota, the exploration will be co-funded with funds raised from the placement and share purchase plan released in September 2009.

Used Mining Equipment for Sale: International Enexco Limited Receives Drill Results on Its Mann Lake Uranium Project in Saskatchewan

Used Mining Equipment for Sale: International Enexco Ltd. said that the company has received from Cameco Corp. the remaining assay results from the 2009 winter uranium drill program at Mann Lake. MSloane Consulting provides used mining equipment for sale for mining projects worldwide.

About a total of 4,155 meters were drilled in 6 holes from depths of 648m to 732m. Major alteration system indicators including high concentrations of boron (B) and low grade eU308 over long intersections were found in the sandstone formation during the 2009 winter drill program at Mann Lake. These indicators are usually identified with unconformity (basement hosted) style uranium mineralization in the southeastern portion of the Athabasca Basin. Basement hosted uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin are usually considered to be more desirable in terms of ease of mining operations like avoidance of possible water problems that sandstone can sometimes bring.

Used Construction Equipment: UK Economy Expected to Grow in the Final Quarters of 09

Used Construction Equipment: The UK economy is expected to bounce back from recession through modest growth in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Constraints on demand though will ensure that growth in 2010 is fragile, the CBI said. It also said that the near-term economic prospects are brightening. A recovery is underway in the global economy, which has been boosted by substantial fiscal and monetary stimuli, and the inventory cycle is starting to turn, both at home and abroad, which is helping to lift production. However, the pace of recovery in 2010 is expected to be slow.

MSloane Consulting predicts demand for used construction equipment to increase in the UK in the coming months as the economy recovers even as deals are nowadays are fairly on the uptrend as companies turn to used construction equipment during hard times to manage their cashflow.

The CBI predicts that UK GDP will post quarter-on-quarter growth of 0.3% in 2009 Q3, edging up to 0.4% in Q4 as consumers bring spending forward in advance of the VAT increase in January. However, this will dampen spending in early 2010 and although companies may be rebuilding stocks, they are likely to do so very cautiously. As a result, 2010 should start with very weak growth of only 0.1% in Q1 2010, and 0.3% in Q2.

"We are looking for PGMs and we are looking for coal. We are in discussion with a number of people in Zimbabwe to see whether there is something we can get on in terms of exploration," Dan Simelane, ARM's chief executive for exploration said in an interview on Wednesday.

He said authorities in Zimbabwe had improved the investment climate since the formation of a government by President Robert Mugabe and his rival Morgan Tsvangirai in February.

The new power-sharing government in Zimbabwe, which has the world's second-biggest platinum reserves after South Africa and large deposits of diamonds, coal and nickel, is keen to attract foreign mining companies to invest into a sector shunned due to fears that businesses could be expropriated.

Heavy Equipment for Sale: Report Shows Long Term Benefits of Gold Mining to Developing Economies

Heavy Equipment for Sale: Large-scale gold production has been found to be a major factor in bolstering the economies of developing countries, according to a key report issued today by the World Gold Council (WGC) in partnership with the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) and Oxford Policy Management.

MSloane Consulting is ready to supply heavy equipment for sale for gold mining operations.

The new report, ‘The Golden Building Block: gold mining and the transformation of developing economies’, authored by Maureen Upton, Sustainability Advisor to World Gold Council, considers the macroeconomic benefits of gold production in developing countries. The report takes into account the well-debated resource curse theories, and examines evidence of actual contributions through an in-depth case study of Tanzania and the effects of gold mining on its economy over a 40-year period.

The report also reviews case studies undertaken within the ICMM’s Resource Endowment initiative, analysing the costs and benefits of mineral extraction in Chile, Ghana, Peru and Tanzania. The final section seeks to provide observations on policy approaches and conditions likely to positively impact the economic contribution of gold mining more generally across other developing countries.

Mining Equipment: EurOmax commences diamond drilling at Ceovishte project, Serbia

Mining Equipment: EurOmax Resources Limited announce that it has commenced a 13 square kilometre geophysical program and a 2,500 metre diamond drilling program at Ceovishte to test two large gold bearing breccia bodies.

During 2008 EurOmax completed a detailed mapping and soil geochemistry program defining a 6 kilometer long zone of strongly altered andesite volcanics and intrusives with abundant ancient mine workings. Drilling at the northern end of this trend by EurOmax in 2008 intersected multiple gossan and massive sulphide intervals, one of which reported 12.4 metres at 1.5% copper, 1.4% lead, 0.8% zinc, 62 g/t silver and 1.6 g/t gold. This program also defined a 3 kilometre by 2 kilometre magmatic complex at the southern end of the trend which remained undrilled in 2008. This feature is now the focus of the 2009 exploration program.
