Construction Equipment: Construction in Wales performed better than the rest of the UK

Construction Equipment: Construction in Wales performed better than the rest of the UK in the final quarter of 2009, according to latest research.

The data, compiled by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, found the sector in Wales did better than every other UK region and nation.

Rics’ survey found that all other regions reported a decrease in workloads in Q4, with 12% more chartered surveyors reporting a decline compared to a rise.

However, Wales saw 20% more chartered surveyors reporting a rise in workload compared to a fall.

Looking forward, overall expectations for workloads, employment and profits for the next 12 months are all fairly downbeat.

Workload expectations for future activity deteriorate with an equal number of surveyors expecting a rise or a fall – this compares drastically to Q3 when 50% of chartered surveyors anticipated an increase than a decrease in workloads.

Used Mining Equipment for Sale: Mindoro Resources Targets 50 to 70 Million Dry Metric Tonnes of Nickel and Iron Ore

Used Mining Equipment for Sale: Mindoro Resources targets 50 to 70 million dry metric tonnes (DMT) in a grade range of 0.9% to 1.2% nickel and 28% to 32% iron from its limonite and saprolite exploration in northern Surigao.

This is in addition to Mindoro's Agata North Project, which has an indicated and measured resource of 26.92 million DMT at 1.11% nickel and 0.06% cobalt, containing 657 million pounds of nickel and 24 million pounds of cobalt, and an additional 3.79 million DMT in the inferred category, containing 89 million pounds of nickel and 2 million pounds of cobalt.

The Surigao projects are in an important nickel producing district. The Agata North project contains major strategic nickel laterite resources with strong competitive advantages, including excellent infrastructure, close proximity to the ocean and markets, abundant limestone on site and potential for establishment of a world-class nickel and cobalt processing operation.

Mining Equipment: Nebu Resources Inc. Continues Drilling on its Denton Township Projects

Mining Equipment: Nebu Resources Inc. continues drilling on its Denton Township projects adjacent to properties held by Lakeshore Gold Mines Inc., approximately 30 kilometers southwest of Timmins, Ontario since they resumed in December 2009, in the area of high-grade gold mineralization reported in its November 30, 2009 press release, to continue evaluation of this area of gold mineralization.

The vein or veins appear to have been intersected in all of the recently completed drill holes with the highlights from recent assay data including the results from drill hole DE-09-26 that include core length intervals of 1.5 metres assaying 1.85 g/t and 2.6 metres averaging 3.03 g/t in the vein zone and a deeper intersection averaging 17.18 g/t over a core length of 3.2metres near the contact of the diorite intrusion.

While the latter intersection is deeper, it should be noted that this intersection is still less than 120 metres below surface, whereas much of Lakeshore Gold’s recent success has resulted from drilling holes to depths of more than 700 metres vertically.

Used Mining Equipment for Sale:

Used Mining Equipment for Sale: Nass Valley Gateway Ltd., is geared to explore gold prospect sites in Ontario, Canada as it announce the signing of an Acquisition Agreement with Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (GOM), while MSloane Consulting provides used mining equipment for sale to mining companies anywhere in the world. This acquisition gives the Company an option to acquire an 80% Joint Venture interest in three gold prospects within the Larder Lake Mining Division of the Province of Ontario, Canada.

The three properties, Central Catharine, Link-Catharine, and the 80-Foot-Fall property are located within the Boston-Skead gold belt of northeastern Ontario. This crescent-shaped gold belt is 25 km south of the still productive Kirkland Lake gold belt that has yielded 24 million ounces of gold in the past century of mining. Gold mineralization in this belt occurs with quartz, quartz-sulphide veins and veinlets in Archean volcanic rocks that have been intruded by granitic batholiths.

For the Link-Catharine area lying centrally between the other two properties, the most recent exploration work within the package of properties was conducted in 2008 and 2009. Highlights include 3.55g/t gold over 3 m and 3.26 g/t gold over 1.2 m in hole DDH CAT 08-22, and 1.01g/t gold over 10 m and 2.65 g/t gold over 3.4 m in DDH CAT 08-04, and 17.5g/t gold over 1 m in DDH CAT 09-02. Together with values of 6.00g/t over 8.6 m and 1.91g/t gold over 20.4 m from hole 99-4, and encouraging gold values from numerous other holes within a broad target area, the results suggest an extensive zone of gold mineralization that warrants concerted continued evaluation for gold deposits.
