May 25, 2007
I was down in Peru recently looking at the Constancia copper, moly, and silver porphyry project of Norsemont (NOM-T). With a stock at $4.60 in January of 2006, management of the company failed to promote the stock or keep investors informed as to their progress. So after 15 months of drilling and solid progress, the market spanked them severely.
When I was in Peru, you could have picked up shares at the discount counter for $1.50. Naughty, naughty guys. If you don't tell your story, investors will punish you. If you have a story worth telling, better tell it or pay the consequences.
With a tiny 29 million shares outstanding, every share is backed with 60 pounds of copper, over 1.5 pounds of moly and .75 ounces of silver. When Palmarejo sold their silver project to CDE, they got $6 for every ounce of silver in the ground. NOM is getting about $2.00 an ounce for silver in the ground and not a single red cent for $200 bucks worth of copper and over $45 worth of moly per share. I must be missing something. That sure seems cheap to me.
Norsemont acquired the property from Rio Tinto in February of 2005 with copper at a dismal $1.32. Rio Tinto had been in a joint venture with Mitsui of Japan and Rio felt the property didn't meet their criteria for size or grade. But $3 copper makes up for a lot of sins.
Mitsui and Rio Tinto put about $5 million into exploration. Rio Tinto had a historical resource when they did the deal with Norsemont. Over 5 years, Norsemont must spend $7.8 million US on exploration, pay $5 million in cash to Rio and issue Rio 1,250,000 shares to earn 51%. Norsemont can earn an additional 19% to bring their interest up to 70% by paying Rio an additional $8 million.
Once Norsemont has earned their 51%, Rio has 60 days to make a decision whether to clawback to 36% by paying back three times the money spent by Norsemont if the project is larger than 8.8 billion pounds at that time.
Rio obviously understood what investors don't get. $12 billion dollars worth of rock is worth something. Norsemont didn't get handed the keys to the candy story, they paid a fair price to get in the door. The price of copper has more than doubled; they have made nice increases to the resource and are in the midst of conducting a major drill program in the San Jose zone, which could easily add a billon pounds of copper to the resource.
I spent two days in Peru with Bob Baxter, President of Norsemont. He is the first person in the industry that I have talked to who actually has thought out the primary issue of mining a major copper/moly porphyry today. It's not the size or even the grade that matters; it's how soon you can get into production. At today's prices, every inch of ground on earth is either a prospective mine or it's good for nothing but raising moose. I've seen a dozen or more major systems. There is lots of copper around in the ground and I know there is 150 years production of moly identified.
Prices are high today reflecting both the destruction of the dollar and enormous demand from India and China. But supply and demand are laws written in rock. Today's prices are sucking metal out of the ground but one day there will be too much supply. When that day comes, and you are in the midst of the ribbon-cutting at your opening day ceremony, it won't matter how much metal you have, by the time the ends of the ribbon flutter to the ground, you will be closing up shop.
Bob Baxter and Norsemont get it. And Bob is cracking the whip to both increase the quantity and quality of his resource, but also to fast track that puppy to production. To the victor belong the spoils and to the swift go the high prices. Norsemont has a great system and the faster they get it into production, the more they stand to make.
By and large Norsemont is in the driver's seat. Mitsui would love to have an off-take agreement but that isn't part of the deal and Norsemont can ship their cons to whomever they wish. That's a giant lever for Norsemont to either nudge Mitsui into buying them out or to accept a buy-out of their 30% interest. Likewise, Rio was smart enough to have a clawback but it's not valid unless Norsemont more than doubles the resource. But copper doubling in price has exactly the same effect as doubling either the resource or the grade. Who on earth would have projected $4 copper two years ago? Well, in a way Norsemont did and whether through skill or just blind luck, they are sitting on a multi-billion dollar lottery ticket.
But no one is perfect. At the beginning, after Norsemont did the deal with Rio, the company focused on getting the story out. They got listed in Frankfurt and made sure the Europeans knew their story. It paid off in a big way and the stock was trading 200% higher 16 months ago. But Norsemont got lazy and started taking their shareholders for granted and shareholders bit back with a 66% decline.
There is no real reason for the decline, the resource is substantial, metal prices are strong and management is being very aggressive about fast-tracking the project to production. But we have a situation unmatched at any period in history. Every hard commodity is in shortage and there are 3,000 juniors out there begging for attention from a small and growing smaller group of loyal metal bugs. Until and unless the industry starts communicating its message to the great unwashed, share prices will languish even as metal prices are banging against the roof.
Norsemont has seen the error of its ways and has become a sponsor. I like the aggressiveness of management and that's worth a lot. This is not the time to be sitting on the egg until it hatches. We own shares and I am biased. Do your own due diligence, you get to keep all the profit.

November 5, 2007
NPV Ranges from $396M to $618M. IRR Ranges from 20.9% to 31.8%.
Vancouver and Lima, Peru, November 5, 2007 – Norsemont Mining Inc. (“the Company”) (TSX: NOM, BVL: NOM) today announced that SRK Consulting (SRK) has completed the scoping study for Constancia copper project in southern Peru. The scoping study considers an open pit mining operation using a standard milling and froth flotation plant to produce high grade copper and molybdenite concentrates. The study is based on geological information and metallurgical testing available at the time of reporting, price quotations for major equipment and mining components, including owners’ fleet, and estimates of long-term prices for copper, molybdenum and silver. Exploration drilling at the Constancia project is continuing and the Company believes that the potential exists to significantly increase the current resource.
For economic evaluation purposes, the scoping study focused on three operating scenarios: a 30,000 tonne per day (t/d) stand-alone case (SA), a 30,000 t/d expandable to 55,000 t/d case (EX), and a 55,000 t/d stand-alone case (SA). Based on the current resource, the corresponding life of mine (LOM) for the 30,000 t/d and 55,000 t/d stand alone cases are 20 and 12 years, respectively.
Estimated production for the 55,000 t/d SA case is approximately 112,218 tonnes per year of copper recovered over the first five years, with a LOM annual average production of 90,411 tonnes. For the 30,000 t/d SA case estimated production is 72,814 tonnes per year of copper recovered during the first five years, with a LOM annual average of 53,598 tonnes. During the feasibility study the expansion of the 30,000 t/d EX case to 55,000 t/d in year 6 or 7 will be reviewed together with the 55,000 t/d SA case.
Based on a discount rate of 8 percent and a payback period which incorporates a two year start up, the Constancia project’s Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and corresponding Net Present Value (NPV) for the three operating scenarios are as follows:
Description | 30,000 t/d SA | 30,000 t/d EX | 55,000 t/d | |||
| Without Contingency | With 25% Cont. | Without Cont. | With 25% Cont. | Without Cont. | With 25% Cont. |
NPV @ 8% | $473M | $404M | $467M | $396M | $618M | $530M |
IRR | 26.7% | 21.4% | 26.1% | 20.9% | 31.8% | 25.3% |
Payback from start of construction | 6 years | 7 years | 6 years | 7 years | 5 years | 6 years |
Note: The cash flow values presented account for post tax and royalty payments.
The cash flow analysis used long-term price assumptions of $1.80 per lb Cu, $12 per lb Mo, and $11 per oz Ag. To provide an appreciation of the influence of metal prices to the project cash flow, a sensitivity analysis has been conducted modifying the copper price. The results of the sensitivity analysis based on copper prices at $1.60 per lb, $1.80 per lb and $2.00 per lb are as follows:
Description | 30,000 t/d SA | 30,000 t/d EX | 55,000 t/d | ||||||
Cu price | $1.60 | $1.80 | $2.00 | $1.60 | $1.80 | $2.00 | $1.60 | $1.80 | $2.00 |
NPV @ 8% | $255M | $404M | $552M | $247M | $396M | $544M | $345M | $530M | $715M |
IRR | 17% | 21.4% | 25.5% | 16.5% | 20.9% | 24.9% | 19.9% | 25.3% | 30.3% |
Payback from start of construction | 8 years | 7 years | 6 years | 8 years | 7 years | 6 years | 7 years | 6 years | 5 years |
Note: 1. Cash flow values are presented accounting for a 25% overall contingency and discount rate of 8%.
2. The cash flow values presented account for post tax and royalty payments.
Cash operating costs net of credits are estimated at $0.74 per lb over the 20-year project life for the 30,000 t/d SA case and $0.67 per lb over the 12-year project life for the 55,000 t/d SA case. Capital expenditure estimates (inclusive of a 25 percent contingency) for the three operating scenarios are US$605.6M, US$617.3M and US$739.7M for the 30,000 t/d SA, 30,000 t/d EX to 55,000 t/d and 55,000 t/d SA, respectively.
Based on the positive results of the scoping study, Norsemont will now advance the Constancia project to feasibility. Negotiations with engineering consultants for the feasibility study and environmental impact assessment are underway and formal contracts are expected to be finalised by the end of the year.
During the next several months, detailed budgeting and preliminary geotechnical field programs will be undertaken to establish a firm foundation for the feasibility study, which is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2008. Infill drilling on the Constancia and San Jose zones is continuing, with the conclusion of the 42,000-meter program expected by year-end. Exploration drilling at the Constancia project will continue during 2008 and the Company believes that the potential exists to significantly increase the current resource.

Bin auf Norsemont aufmerksam geworden,ich glaube du hattest hier einen sehr guten riecher,sag mal der NPV von 600 Mio.-$ (without Contingency),ist der in Can.-$ berechnet oder in US.-$? Ich kenne mich aber mit Norsemont noch nicht so gut aus,gibts da noch andere Projekte ausser Constancia ?
Mein Problem,
Ich weiss nicht,ob ich mich für General Moly (GMO) oder Norsemont entscheiden soll !Auch GMO hat eine NPV-Tabelle vorgelegt (NPV zwischen 1 und 4,5 MRD.-$ für ein von insgesamt 2 Projekten,abhängig vom moly-Preis),aber GMO ist auch ,im Vergleich zu Norsemont,bereits jetzt exact 6 Mal so hoch bewertet wie norsemont! (422 Mio.-€ für GMO gegenüber 70 Mio.-€ für Norsemont)
Vielleicht Pate,ich kenn mich mit Finanzmathematik nicht so besobders gut aus,aber vom Bauchgefühl her würde ich sagen dass norsemont mehr Kurspotential hat,kannst du mir helfen zu einer vergleichenden Analyse beider "Top-Werte" zu gelangen,denn ich habe noch etwas Zeit mit dem einstieg,da ich im moment leider etwas klamm bin ...

TORONTO, ONTARIO and LIMA, PERU, April 14 /CNW/ - Norsemont Mining Inc. ("Norsemont" or "the Company") (TSX: NOM; BVL: NOM) is pleased to announce results of an updated resource estimate for the Company's 100 percent-controlled Constancia Copper-Molybdenum-Silver porphyry deposit in southern Peru.
The updated independent mineral resource estimate has been completed on the Constancia and San Jose zones of the Constancia deposit by GRD Minproc Limited. The report estimates an Indicated Resource of 256.3 million tonnes grading 0.5 % copper, 0.012 % molybdenum and 4.4 g/t silver (0.62 % Cu-Equivalent) at a cutoff grade of 0.2% copper and an Inferred Resource of 156.5 million tonnes grading 0.33 % copper, 0.01 % molybdenum and 3.2 g/t silver (0.43 % Cu-Equivalent) at a cutoff grade of 0.2% copper (Table 1). The updated estimate for the Constancia deposit also contains small amounts of gold and zinc, which have not been reported.
"I am very pleased to see a large increase in our indicated resource base in this latest resource estimate", said Robert W. Baxter, President of Norsemont Mining. "While we had expected to have our infill drilling largely completed at this time we have now encountered significant mineralisation between the Constancia and San Jose zones. We believe now that within that envelope we are beginning to define a strong potassic alteration zone with potential for a significant additional target between these zones. We currently have six diamond drill rigs on site, working two shifts per day to define this new discovery. In addition, we are scheduled for the arrival of an additional reverse circulation drill rig in April for further rapid screening of other promising exploration targets in the immediate vicinity of the Constancia and San Jose zones."
Mr. Baxter added: "Our updated resource statement clearly demonstrates that the Constancia deposit is a large, well defined copper deposit which remains open to expansion. Also, it is one of the most advanced copper projects in Peru having recently progressed to the definitive feasibility stage following the completion late last year of our scoping study which demonstrated that Constancia has the potential to be a robust low-cost and long-life mine."

Copper equivalent values are estimated using the following long-term metal prices: copper US$1.80 per lb, molybdenum US$12.00 per lb, and silver US$11.00 per oz. Cu-Equivalent equals Cu (%) plus Mo (%) times (12.00/1.80) plus Ag (g/t) times 0.35/(1.80x22.05). Adjustment factors to account for differences in relative metallurgical recoveries will depend upon the completion of definitive metallurgical testing. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100 percent.
Norsemont's CEO, Patrick Evans, stated: "The expansion of the Constancia resource demonstrated by this updated resource statement is very encouraging, as is the discovery of additional mineralisation between the Constancia and San Jose zones. As previously reported, Norsemont has also discovered numerous additional copper anomalies in close proximity to the current Constancia resource. As a consequence of these discoveries, Norsemont has developed a vision to expand the Constancia resource to between 600 and 800 million tonnes."
Based on the April 2008 resource estimate, the Indicated Resources contain approximately 2.85 billion pounds of copper, 68.2 million pounds of molybdenum and 36.5 million ounces of silver at a 0.2% copper cutoff, and the Inferred Resources contain approximately 1.14 billion pounds of copper, 33.4 million pounds of molybdenum and 16.2 million ounces of silver (see Table 2). The April 2008 resource estimate, therefore, displays an increase of approximately 350 percent in contained copper in the Indicated category relative to the previous estimate reported in March 2007.
<< Table 2: Contained Metal (0.2% Cu cut-off), Constancia Project, April 14, 2008 -------------------------------------------------- Resource Copper Molybdenum Silver Category (million lbs) (million lbs) (million oz) -------------------------------------------------- Indicated 2,852 68.2 36.5 -------------------------------------------------- Inferred 1,147 33.4 16.2 -------------------------------------------------- >>
Composites assay data were capped between 0.050% Mo and 0.060% Mo for Molybdenum for three of nine estimation domains. Silver grade data from three of the domains was capped between 30 g/t Ag and 35 g/t Ag. No capping was applied to copper data.
The resource estimate for the Constancia deposit was generated using geological solids modeled by Atticus & Associates. Copper, molybdenum and silver grades were interpolated into a block model using ordinary kriging, with copper as the primary element. Table 1 includes Resources from the Constancia and San Jose zones. Resource classification was based on a combination of drill spacing, kriging variance, and confidence in geological and grade continuity.
Independent geologist Lynn Widenbar, MAusIMM, and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument (NI) 43-101, was responsible for the Mineral Resource Estimate dated April 14, 2008. Mr. Widenbar has read and approved the contents of this news release. The Resource estimate has components of both Indicated and Inferred mineral resources, consistent with the CIM definitions referred to in NI 43-101. This estimate will be filed in a Technical Report compliant with NI 43-101 on SEDAR within 45 days. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Norsemont is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other issues which may materially affect its estimate of mineral resources.
Quality Control
The Resource Estimate is based upon 206 diamond drill holes totaling 66,357.7 meters completed by Rio Tinto and Norsemont through to the end of December 2007. Norsemont has completed 182 holes and Rio Tinto had previously drilled 24 holes that are included in this Resource Estimate.
Core samples were cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags, and shipped to ALS Chemex Assay Labs in Lima, Peru. Secondary laboratories are also used for check assaying. Drill core was sampled at two metre intervals after logging. Some sample length changes were made when lithological or mineralogical boundaries where important and sample lengths met those boundaries. In general, contacts between high grade and low grade samples (visually estimated) correspond with the sample boundaries. In some visually determined low copper grade intervals, sample length was increased to 3-metres. Half core was sampled after it was symmetrically cut with a core saw.
The drilling program and geological studies during 2007 and 2008 at the Constancia project for Norsemont were supervised by Dr. Leonardo Diaz, (MAusIMM)., and Robert Baxter (MAusIMM), Norsemont's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, who have reviewed and approved the information contained in this news release.
A plan map with drill hole locations and the tabulated drilling results is available on Norsemont's website at www.norsemont.com. Other geological data including cross sections will be made available with the NI 43-101 Technical Report which is to be posted on SEDAR within 45 days of this press release.
