I was not aware that jml had agreed on a jv with igo only in june of this year. I didnt see any report or there was no report in regards to that, interesting. Igo is a quality stock. Jml gets to keep 30% of the nickel rights and all other base metals, which i thought was very interesting. Igo will need to spend 3 mill over 6 years which is ideal for jml. ( read below)
On a different note we are due for our "stage two" reserve upgrade this qtr, should be very interesting times coming up. Also, the hunt has began for a new discovery. As usual with this mob, heads down bums up, not to many announcments. They tend to express themselves via qtrly reports these days.
IGO has entered into a JV with Jabiru Metals Limited whereby IGO may earn a 70% interest in the nickel rights by expenditure of $3m within 6 years including a minimum of $220,000 within the first 12 months.
The JV area covers 188km2 of tenure 50km from Leonora located over part of the southern portion of the Agnew-Wiluna Greenstone Belt, one of the most highly endowed komatiitic nickel-sulphide belts in the world. The project is well situated with regard to infrastructure and access being near to a gas pipeline and having bitumen access.
Past exploration in the area has recently been focussed on VMS deposits, with relatively limited nickel sulphide exploration.
The project area includes 3 main ultramafic units considered prospective for massive nickel-copper sulphide deposits similar in style to Cosmos and the nearby Sinclair deposit.
Initial exploration, comprising a surface geochemical sampling and Moving loop EM surveys will commence in Q3 2010.
