bonsoir jacq1
je pense qu'il y a mieux à faire , que sur celle la
bonne suite

[pilou1]

un petit graph

tous les indics pointent vers le sud
pour ne pas te démoraliser, je dirai que si elle passe les 0.33 assez violemment et se maintient au dessus , il y a matière à prendre quelques centimes
à l'instant ou j'écris ces lignes , je ne vois pas de recovery , mais rien ne dis que cela ne pourra pas l’être
le principe d'une recovery est de ne pas la détecter

[jacq1]

La recovery se confirme et maintenant que les équipements sont modernisés, les investissements lourds terminés et la capacité de traitement augmentée, on devrait avoir de beaux résultats sur l'année en cours, sans parler de la cession de la filiale toujours projetée, à suivre



Zci Limited - Production Update

Release Date: 22/07/2013 08:00:00 Code(s): ZCI Production Update

Production Update

Production report for the first quarter of fiscal 2014

Mr. Tom Kamwendo, the ZCI Group CEO expressed satisfaction with the continuing improvements in
production being made at ZCI's principal asset, African Copper Plc. (“African Copper” or the “Company”),
and conveyed his thanks and appreciation to all the staff for their contribution and hard work during the
quarter.

The Company announced production figures of 3,075Mt of copper in concentrate for the first quarter of
fiscal 2014 from its 100% owned operating mines in Botswana.

First Quarter Production Highlights

• During the quarter, ore processed went up by 5% to 181,233 Mt compared to 171,908 Mt over the
same period. Copper recovery increased by 65% to 83.6% compared to 50.7% during Q1
2012/2013 FY.
• During Q1 of the 2013/2014 FY production of copper in concentrate went up by 91% to 3,075Mt
compared to 1,609Mt achieved during Q1 2012/2013 FY
• During April 2013 following a mill re-lining, vibrations were experienced in the mill that necessitated
a production halt for three days to rectify which affected production for that month. Recoveries in
April were 61.8% as a result of a small quantity of stockpiled oxide ore being processed.
• May results were considerably better with 89.9% recovery and production of 1,408 Mt of copper in
concentrate following a return to only sulphide ore being processed. In June ore processed fell due
to a shortage of process water.

Mr. Jordan Soko, Acting Chief Executive of African Copper, said: “In May 2013, we reported strong final year
results with record copper production from the Mowana facilities. I am delighted to say that this has been
maintained in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. We continue to improve the plant and operations and this is
being demonstrated by the production reported today.”

All of the ore processed at the Mowana facilities during the quarter was sourced from the higher grade
sulphide rich ore Thakadu Mine. During the first week of July, we successfully installed and commissioned a
new primary crusher, which is now running at design capacity of 350 tph. In the three months reported
below, the proportion of sulphide ore processed increased to 92% of the total from 80% in Q4 FY 2013 due
to mining a consistent sulphide area of the Thakadu pit. Trucking operations from Thakadu to the Mowana
Mine processing facilities, a distance of 70km, ran smoothly throughout the quarter.

Production levels for the three months ended 30 June 2013 are set out below:

Description April May June Total Q1 Total Q1 Total Q4
2013 2013 2013 2013/ 2012/ 2012/
2014 2013 2013
Ore processed (Mt) 50,409 77,885 52,939 181,233 171,908 164,588
Cu grade (%) 1.79 2.01 2.29 2.03 1.91 1.67
Recovery (%) 61.8 89.9 91.6 83.6 49 88.2
Concentrate produced (Mt) 2,477 6,100 4,426 13,003 6,888 11,358
Copper produced in concentrate (Mt) 556 1,408 1,111 3,075 1,609 2,429

In April, there were some production issues around the performance of the mill, which was subject to
vibrations following a routine production halt for three days for mill re-lining. April recoveries were 61.8% as
a result of a small quantity of stockpiled oxide ore being processed. We identified the source of the vibrations
and as a result have ordered new mill gear mechanisms which are expected to be available for installation in
September 2013 with resultant necessary mill downtime. May results were considerably better with 89.9%
recovery and production of 1,408 Mt of copper in concentrate following a return to only sulphide ore being
processed.

In June, we experienced a shortage of process water, with resulting lower throughput to the mill and ore
processed. However, this was offset by the higher grade of ore treated. Process water issues have been
addressed by the drilling of two additional boreholes in the nearby Dukwe wellfield.

Mining operations at the Mowana Mine pit are planned to commence during Q2, with a production
ramp up linked to mining volume reduction at Thakadu as the Thakadu resource moves towards
depletion around the middle of calendar year 2014. As volumes drop at Thakadu Mine, the mining
equipment will be moved across to the Mowana mine to effect the pre-stripping and ramp up.

Exploration drilling has continued during the fourth quarter in the greater Nakalakwana area targeting Iron
Oxide Copper Gold mineralisation within the Matsitama Exploration Licence PL 17/2004; and in the near
vicinity of Thakadu Mine to find additional mineable resources to add to the Company’s existing reserves.
The Company expects to provide an update later in the year.

The technical information in this announcement has been reviewed and approved by David De’Ath, BSc
(Hons), MSc, GDE-Mining, MIMM and MAusIMM, the Company’s Manager, Geology, of the Mowana
Mine for the purposes of the current Guidance Note for Mining, Oil and Gas Companies issued by the
London Stock Exchange in June 2009.

Ce graphique date un peu, maintenant.
Merci de nous faire une mise à jour, suite au dernier retournement de tendance.
Je pense que la transaction avec Sokko n'est pas porteuse d'espoir pour nous, les petits porteurs.
Une idée sur les ventes et achat d'un titre, matin et soir ?
Je ne suis pas assez expérimenté pour comprendre cette situation pour le moins atypique.

OPA sur ACU ? ZCI détient 84% de ACU

SELON LE code auquel ACU est maintenant assujetti depuis le 30/9, tout actionnaire doit lancer une OPA dès qu’il détient plus de 30% du capital

Extrait :

..."Furthermore, shareholders with large holdings of shares in companies that become subject to the Code should be mindful of future dealings which may inadvertently result in the mandatory offer threshold of 30 per cent being crossed...."%




1/c'est le nouveau règlement

2/ l'intérêt pour ZCI serait évident : désendetter ACU et donc les créances de ZCI sur ACU deviennent des investissements et aussi très partiellement du cash, car ACU n'a pas encore tout investi
ZCI qui est une boite avec zéro dette peut alors emprunter aux banques comme toute boite normale pour son développement avec effet de levier, le titre ZCI est beaucoup plus liquide que ACU qui était gelé du fait du très faible flottant et plein d'autres avantages : plus de décote de holding, économies d'échelle, entrée de nouveaux actionnaires anglais, moins de places de cotation etc....
sans compter que ZCI pourrait racheter les minos de ACU à vil prix etc....


A suivre de très très près ….c’est un tournant très important pour la valorisation de l’action

Sans compter que le but pour ZCI reste la cession de ses actifs pour lesquels elle a reçu des offres jugées insuffisantes.
Cette restructuration du groupe devrait faciliter cette cession
