I really like EKM as a company http://www.sharetrader.co.nz/showthread.php?7153-Eleckra-Mines-Ltd-%28-quot-EKM-quot-%29-749koz-gold-free!!
- apart from its assets, EKM has a relatively young Board (all in their 40s), they are commercial, good communicators, pro-active, and willing to commit to aggressive drilling to add value to the company (even if it means regular cap raisings).

SMD has a very similar background to EKM– they both IPO’d in 2007 having both acquired tenements from the US copper giant ASARCO after it entered bankruptcy in 2006.

They both share two common directors (Chairman Martin Pyle – ex-Hartley’s and who previously was the corporate advisor to both EKM and SMD; and Russell Davis – who was ex-ASARCO and founded both EKM and SMD), and have some common large shareholders.

They both also share an aggressive exploration philosophy and also have a clearly defined strategy (i.e. one major project focus) which they are both progressing successfully.

Anyway, about SMD, it is aggressively drilling large tenements that they control in the Mount Isa region for high grade copper plus gold credits.

SMD is rated the second cheapest Australian copper explorer on an EV/tonne basis (refer page 20 Sept10 Empire Resources presentation http://stocknessmonster.com/news-item?S=ERL&E=ASX&N=504042) with their current JORC resource of 47,000 tonnes copper plus 49% of 112,000 tonnes attributable to its Kalman project JV.

JORC is to be updated based on a further 6 - 9 months of drilling and 3 new discoveries in the upcoming quarter. Grades are on the high side – 1.2% - 2% ish, plus gold credits! Updated JORC will be followed by a scoping study to investigate development options.

With a market cap of about $10m, and EV of $7m it is under the radar – no comments about it on Hot Copper which i like.
Nice tight register with only 71 mil shares on issue, 15% owned by Korea Zinc.

Alex Cowie from Diggers and Drillers states that “If you're going to be invested in a single metal this decade, my advice is to back copper. Specifically - companies that are sitting on long-life, high-quality copper resources”

SMD is cheap, undervalued, good management, defined strategy and IMO offers excellent exposure to a developing Australia copper play.

Not exactly an AVB-like increase – but i’ll take a 22% increase in SMD today.

Lots of positive news flow coming up with SMD in the next quarter which should sustain a nice re-rate.

Syndicated Metals Continues To Hit Good Grades As It Moves Towards A Maiden Resource At Blue Star, And A Resource Update At Barbara.

By Nadia Cavallaro and Alastair Ford / www.minesite.com

Australian-listed Syndicated Metals is closing in on a maiden resource at its 51 per cent owned Blue Star copper-gold deposit, part of the Mount Remarkable project, near Mt Isa in north Queensland. After an extensive drilling programme over the last couple of months, the Perth-based explorer has been able to report a string of good looking results showing good copper and gold intersections.

"We have just released encouraging drill results for the Blue Star prospect in the Mount Remarkable project, where there is very good potential for an open pit copper sulphide resource," company managing director Russell Davis said. The company hopes to have a resource at Blue Star in the first half of 2011.

Extensive drilling has also been completed on the company's flagship Barbara North and Barbara South copper-gold deposits, which also comprise part of the Mount Remarkable project, and for which a resource update is due in the fourth quarter. Syndicated's current copper resource at Barbara North is 47,000 tonnes and 14,000 ounces of gold.

Green Zone, another deposit adjacent to both Barbara North and South is also of interest in this neck of the woods. Davies said that Green Zone needs additional drilling, but he added that already he is seeing good potential for an open pit there. Syndicated will start drilling up to 2,000 metres at copper targets at Mt Margaret and the northern extension at Green Zone next week. "They are good targets," Davis noted.

In August, Syndicated Metals expanded its portfolio in the copper producing region of Mt Isa by acquiring four tenements from copper junior Altona Mining. One of them, Dronfield, is directly along strike from the company's Kalman molybdenum-rhenium-copper-gold deposit. Syndicated bought the tenements for 1.5 million shares, giving Altona Mining a two per cent shareholding in the company. Syndicated has a 49 per cent interest in the Kalman project. Majority owner King Minerals is currently conducting a scoping study at the site.

Once the resource is revised, the company will complete a scoping study to determine the best way to develop the Barbara deposits. And although Syndicated hopes to finish the year with around A$2 million in cash, it will need to fund a scoping study through the issue of more equity, Davis noted. It's worth noting at this juncture, though, that Korea Zinc, one of the world's largest zinc producers, owns a 14.9 per cent stake in Syndicated, so the company is no stranger to attracting big names onto its register, and may indeed have a head start when the time comes for it to start sounding out its funding options.

After all, it's a propitious time to be working up copper and gold projects, and not a bad time to be investigating IOCG targets either. And that's even before we get into the company's exposure to other commodities, including rhenium, uranium and potash. For commodities bulls, this definitely looks like one to follow, and as the markets get into their stride for the final trading season of the year, it's perhaps no surprise that Syndicated's shares have started to gain ground. A steady flow of news should help to keep that momentum going.

Trackers,

Don't know if you came across this brokers report on SMD:

But it has some really interesting cash flow modelling of a copper mine at Barbara.

Target SP of 40 cents.

Hey Steve,

thanks for that, hadn't read that. Still need to have another look, but the research is clear in that there is a viable mine there on SMD's current resource at $2.25/lb.

Copper price is currently over 50% greater than that, and the viability excludes resource upgrades and nearby satellite discoveries... Both of which SMD has made since the report and will be included in a new JORC resource expected this quarter. All good stuff.

Thanks for the mention of HOR, HC, only recently listed but looks alright at first glance. Anyone here hold it, out of interest?

SMD up to 0.22c... 50% greater than what I should have gone in at a week ago, but still up about a third. SF I imagine you're holding a swagger of oppies? Nice.

Highlights from yesterdays announcement:



• New zones of high grade copper-gold mineralisation discovered by soil and rock chip sampling at Syndicated’s Bloodwood IOCG prospect within the Mount Remarkable Project;
• Values of up to 25% Cu and 5.54g/t Au returned in first batch of rock chip samples;
• Bloodwood is located only 20 kilometres northeast of Barbara and lies directly along strike from the other known Leichhardt–Prospector IOCG prospects;
• Further rock chip sampling currently in progress;
• Drilling is currently underway at geochemical and geophysical targets

Unfortunately not holding enough SMDO - they were very hard to come by, and, in hindsight, my bids weren't generous enough. Had to load up on the heads instead.

Hopefully KZLs takeover for CSE will help to maintain some nice investor interest in Nth Qld copper juniors.

Interesting to see the IE report yesterday in relation to the CSE/KZL transaction.

Pre KZL bid, CSE was trading at around 7c.

KZL bid 11c.

The IE valued CSE at between 26c and 45c.

That would suggest some major discrepancy between mkt pricing and fundamental valuation of CSE.

I would think that a similar major discrepancy between mkt pricing and valuation would also be the case with SMD.

There was a nice little bullish divergence just before it run up from 15.5 to 19.0 but looks like it has run out of gas for now.

Quarterly out. Current Market cap @ 0.17c = 15.5mil. Cash = $4.5mil, EV therefore 11mil.

Quarterly says that they expect further JORC resource upgrade at Barbara this year.. and reiterate the potential for an open-pit mine.

Drilling this quarter will be the decider for me, but the following picture gives me much hope that 11mil EV will soon be a joke of the past:

Updated Research Report

http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/genera/genera/files/researches/proactive_investors__syndicated_metals__research_r eport_4d6c685786392.pdf


"Taking a line through Syndicated’s current copper equivalent resource base equates to an Enterprise Valuation / Resource tonne copper equivalent of a miserly $63.60/resource tonne versus a sector average of over $350/tonne copper.

On this measure, Syndicated is clearly undervalued in a copper sector that has re-rated valuations of nearly all copper explorers and producers.
However, based on our research, we believe Syndicated’s copper equivalent resource base will increase potentially up to 125,000 – 150,000 contained copper equivalent tonnes in 2011. This would turbo charge the undervaluation, underpinning development of Barbara and a higher valuation for the company.

Based on the forgoing, we could see a Syndicated Metals valuation and share price greater than $0.50 within six months and greater than $0.75 within 12 months based on the growing resource and undervaluation. Throw in resolution on Kalman South Project and the undervaluation of Syndicated becomes even greater."

current price = 18c

With JORC update out of the way, cap raising completed, and drilling to recommence, SMD was bound to start moving eventually and hopefully will continue to do so.

Intersuisse did a site visit end of May and have updated their Report:

http://www.syndicatedmetals.com.au/reports/SMD_11May25.pdf

Some interesting comments:
- Expect SMD to have 450kt of Cu eq by September
- SMD control almost the same sized land holding in Mt Isa as IVA - which has a market cap of $1.3b
- The Kalman South acq. has increased SMDs value and potential

Also interesting to note CDUs announcement last week regarding their proposed rail infrastructure development at Cloncurry.
"With a number of new copper/lead/zinc/molybdenum/gold/ phosphate mines expected to be commencing production over the next 1 to 3 years, and increased superphosphate and sulphuric acid transport, all within the Cloncurry region of Queensland, transporting of these mineral products are not catered for at present. ....This required forward thinking by CuDeco and the anticipated requirement for this facility was the reason CuDeco entered into an MOU for this 900-hectare rail network centre."

This would be excellent for SMD.

I'm also holding Chinalco Yunnan Copper (CYU), which by my reckoning, holds adjoining tenements to SMD between Mt Isa and Cloncurry. CYU have also had some drilling success, and I'm wondering if there would be some benefits in jointly constructing a central mill for both companies. (CYU have also managed to farm into a couple of Rio's copper tenements in Chile, which could be very exciting).

Looks like there'll be a couple resource upgrades in the next few months also by the sounds of things.

Also looking forward to more results from Bluestar: 4m @ 9% Cu, 1g/t Au and 9m @ 6% Cu and 0.7g/t Au is a pretty good start... And we're waiting on results from Green Zone too, going by the early May ann.

Catching up on a few announcements as i have been away and put my shares on ignore; but assume you are referring to the 24 June announcement?

Blue Star and Green zone results look fine. The poor results were testing the zone between Barbara North and South - It was always going to be a real long shot that North and south would actually merger to one super zone– but yeah disappointing nonetheless.

However, as Interssuise say about SMD - “SMD presents a rare opportunity to get in early - at a low price - in what should grow into a major development”

I will definitely be adding to my SMD/ SMDO holdings very shortly now that I am back.

Hi Strat,

I picked up some more SMDO this morning, but yeah, it is very much on the risky side.

There is a fair bit of news flow over the next 6 months, including resource upgrades and mining lease application and mine planning work... this should drive a re-rate....remember the company will be doing all it can to get these options over the line....SMD have got some friendly brokers on board, so hopefully this should not be an issue.... Some mining people i know are very keen on SMD; and all the analysts reports are pretty positive.....The price of copper I think is probably the biggest risk here, together with any pre-December capital raise.

So six months to go.... My target is a 30c+ price by December ($30m market cap) in which case my SMDO’s will have paid off very handsomely for me......I believe at this stage the risk/reward ratio is OK.....but I have also accepted that there is also a pretty good chance I may have to take a 100% write-off of all my SMDOs....which while not ideal, I’ll just have to accept and take the capital loss as a cost of the strategy not going to plan.

Yeah, I've written off my SMDO, I'll take the tax loss.

A good lesson in that it is definitely a lot more riskier holding options in a declining maket.

However, although in this case the SMD Directors certainly haven't helped.

Absolutely, my NDLO and CAJO may be about to demonstrate that to me!

Hi fellas. Anyone still holding these?

Steve and Shasta. May I have your current thoughts?

Chart shows a clear bottom. Just needs a catalyst or a decent kick in the guts to get it moving.

Hi Entrep.

Needs more than that. Needs to catch market interest.

Hi Strat, sorry I lost interest in SMD after what happened to the options last year!

It should have excellent resource potential, but I am still not happy with what management did - ie do a generous capital raising to their mates at 8c, 2 months before the options were due to expire, which completely killed any hope of getting them in the money.

I've picked up a few of these over recent weeks. New Ann today and they are just about to commence drilling at their Barabara JV copper-gold project. Should be good news flow into Xmas.

The spike in the SP appears to coincide with publication of the Beer and Co research report - which I note was commissioned and paid for by SMD.
