Ore Reserve Upgrade - UPDATEDWed, 16 Nov 2011 08:41:00 +1000       9 hours, 51 minutes ago


ASX Announcement and Media Release 16 November 2011 ORE RESERVE UPGRADE TO 352MT OF HIGH-GRADE HEMATITE; NEW EXPLORATION TARGET HAS POTENTIAL TO DOUBLE CURRENT ITABIRITE RESOURCES Expanded inventory confirms Stage One annual production of 35 Mt of DSO for 10 years; Focus now on expanding Stage Two with exploration drilling target to increase Itabirite HIGHLIGHTS • • • • • High Grade Hematite Ore Reserves increased to 352 Mt at 62.4% Fe delivers Stage One of the Mbalam Project based on planned production of 35Mtpa of DSO for at least 10 years. Prospects for Stage Two underpinned by additional resources of 2.3Bt of Itabirite Hematite at 38% Fe at Mbarga. Exploration Target at Nabeba of an additional 1.5 - 2.5Bt of Itabirite at 30 - 40% Fe.

1 Ore Reserve upgrade cements Sundance’s first-mover advantage in this extensive new iron ore province. Significant potential to grow the Project further with numerous drilling targets identified in both the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo. Sundance Resources Limited (‘Sundance’ or ‘the Company’) (ASX: SDL) advises that the High Grade Ore Reserve for Stage One of the Mbalam Iron Ore Project in the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo now totals 352 million tonnes (Mt) at 62.4% Fe.

All Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves have been estimated in accordance with the JORC Code. This upgraded estimate is significant because it confirms Mbalam now has sufficient Reserves to deliver Stage One of the Project. Stage One proposes the production of 35 Mt per year of High-Grade Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) for at least 10 years.

The Ore Reserves increase is based on the current inventory of 521.7 Mt of High Grade Hematite Resources at 60.7% Fe (as reported to the ASX on 1 September 2011) and represents a conversion of 72% of the Company’s total Indicated Mineral Resources. Including Stage Two, the Mbalam Project has a long mine life of at least 25 years. Under Stage Two, the extensive Itabirite Hematite Resource, which currently stands at 2.3 billion tonnes (Bt) at 38% Fe from the Mbarga Deposit alone, will be mined for a further 15 years.

1 It must be noted that this range is an Exploration Target only, and not to be misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource ....  

Sundance Resources Limited advises that the High Grade Ore Reserve for Stage One of the Mbalam Iron Ore Project in the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo now totals 352 million tonnes at 62.4% Fe. All Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves have been estimated in accordance with the JORC Code.

This upgraded estimate is significant because it confirms Mbalam now has sufficient Reserves to deliver Stage One of the Project. Stage One proposes the production of 35 million tonnes per year of High-Grade Direct Shipping Ore for at least 10 years.

The Ore Reserves increase is based on the current inventory of 521.7 million tonnes of High Grade Hematite

HIGHLIGHTS

1. High Grade Hematite Ore Reserves increased to 352 million tonnes at 62.4% Fe delivers Stage One of the Mbalam Project based on planned production of 35 million tonnes per annum of DSO for at least 10 years.

2. Prospects for Stage Two underpinned by additional resources of 2.3 billion tonnes of Itabirite Hematite at 38% Fe at Mbarga.

3. Exploration Target at Nabeba of an additional 1.5 to 2.5 billion tonnes of Itabirite at 30 to 40% Fe to bring total Itabirite resource potential to over 4 Billion tonnes.

4. Ore Reserve upgrade cements Sundance's first-mover advantage in this extensive new iron ore province.

5. Significant potential to grow the Project further with numerous drilling targets identified in both the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo.

Mr Giulio Casello CEO and MD of Sundance said this Ore Reserve upgrade further highlighted the financial and technical strength of the Mbalam Project. He added that "This outstanding result emphasises Mbarga/Nabeba's status as having some of the best quality, high grade iron ore in Africa. The quality of the high grade reserves which would be mined during Stage One is competitive in the international seaborne iron ore market.”

Mr Casello further said that "When combined with the over two billion tonnes of Itabirite resource we have at Mbarga, and the potential to grow our total resources of Itabirite2 and High Grade Hematite to beyond 5 billion tonnes, it is clear that the Mbalam Project is poised to play a significant role in the global iron ore market for decades to come."

Sundance Resources Limited (ASX:SDL) Moves Closer to Confirming Mbalam Iron Ore Project Convention and Congo Mining Permit


Perth, Nov 22, 2011 (ABN Newswire) - Sundance Resources Limited (ASX:SDL) provides the following update on its activities to progress development of the Mbalam Iron Ore Project in the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo.

As announced to the ASX on 4 October 2011, the Scheme Implementation Agreement ('SIA') signed between Sundance and Hanlong (Africa) Mining Investment Limited ('Hanlong') has a two phase structure. During Phase 1, Sundance and Hanlong are to use all reasonable endeavours to progress the Mbalam Convention in Cameroon and the Congo Mining Permit, and Hanlong is to confirm its funding arrangements. The initial conditions precedent must be met prior to progressing to Phase 2 of the SIA.

Sundance and Hanlong have been actively working together to engage with the Governments of the Republic of Cameroon and the Republic of Congo with a view to confirming the ratification of the Mbalam Convention and Congo Mining Permit. Sundance and Hanlong executive management have attended a number of meetings together with senior Government officials of both Republics of Cameroon and Congo to demonstrate their unified commitment to the development of the Project.

In July 2011, Sundance and Hanlong along with representatives from CITIC Securities and China Development Bank met with his Excellency Mr. Paul Biya, the President of Cameroon, in Beijing, China to discuss the Mbalam Project.

On 21 October 2011 the results of the Cameroon Presidential election were announced and confirmed the reelection of the incumbent President Mr Paul Biya for another seven year term.

On 27 October 2011, his Excellency Mr. Denis Sassou-Nguesso, the President of the Republic of Congo, met with Sundance and Hanlong in the country's capital of Brazzaville. The President gave his support to the Nabeba development and expressed his understanding of the necessary trans-border requirements for Stage One of the Mbalam Project.

Sundance and Hanlong also met with a number of senior Government officials for the Republic of Congo, including the Minister of State and Coordinator of the Economic Cluster, Minister of Economy, Planning, Land Reform and Integration, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Director of Cabinet to the Ministry of Mines and Geology, the Director General of Mines and the Presidential Advisor for Mines and Geology.

The final Environment and Social Assessment Report for the Congo is expected to be submitted by the end of November 2011, which completes the requirements for the application process for the Mining Permit. It is anticipated a successful Mining Permit from the Congo Government would then be awarded within the next three months.

Sundance and Hanlong also met with a number of Government officials in the Republic of Cameroon in the country's capital of Yaounde. They met with the Deputy Secretary General of the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon, the Minister of Domains and Land Affairs, the State Secretary from the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Technological Development, and the Director of the Kribi Deep Sea Port Project.

Following the meetings in Cameroon and Congo, Sundance and Hanlong executives left the countries confident that an acceptable outcome for all parties was within reach and should align with the previously reported target timetable within the SIA.

In Australia, Sundance and Hanlong were honoured to welcome the Prime Minister of Cameroon, Mr Philémon Yang, to a meeting at the Sundance corporate office in Perth, Western Australia, while he was attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting at the end of October 2011. The Prime Minister further expressed the Cameroon Government's strong support of the Mbalam Project, confirming it was a project of national interest that they are eager to see developed in the near term.

Sundance aims to have the final terms of the Mbalam Convention agreed by the end of December 2011 with the Government of Cameroon and then expects an Enabling Act which makes the Convention effective to be passed by the Cameroon National Assembly when it is next expected to meet in March 2012.

Follow up meetings between Sundance, Hanlong and the Cameroon Government are now scheduled to occur during December 2011.

The key principles for Sundance's operations while it continues to advance activities to meet all conditions precedent in Phase 1 of the SIA are:

(1) Maintain core competencies within the organisation particularly with the effective management of the Company's human capital and intellectual property.

(2) Prudent management of expenditure; while focussing on activities that further de-risk the Project, enhance Company value, and maintain in-country tenement tenure.

(3) Grow the Project's value further by increasing total Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources.

(4) Ensuring construction will commence as soon as possible and meet the targeted DFS construction period of 3 years following the completion of the SIA or securing Project financing.

Sundance Resources Limited (ASX:SDL): Cameroon Government Declares Mbalam Rail Corridor

Sundance Resources Limited (ASX:SDL): Cameroon Government Declares Mbalam Rail Corridor


Perth, Nov 23, 2011 (ABN Newswire) - Sundance Resources Limited (ASX:SDL) is pleased to announce that its plan to develop the world's next major iron ore province has progressed with the Government of the Republic of Cameroon confirming that the land identified for the proposed rail corridor which links the Mbalam Project to the Lolabe Port has been declared Land for Public Utility.

The declaration was made by Cameroon's Ministry of Property and Land Tenure. It covers the corridor from the Mbalam mine site to Sundance's planned deep water iron ore terminal at Lolabe at the Kribi port area.

The decision paves the way for the government to secure the necessary land required for building the Mbalam rail line. This will be done through a formal process led by a committee appointed by representatives of each of the six affected regional districts: Vallée du Ntem, Océan, Mvila, Dja et Lobo and Haut Nyong. This decision also freezes all further property transactions and construction permits along the proposed rail corridor.

The process will now include:

- A survey of the land, existing buildings and improvements along the proposed railway line;

- Compilation of current and pending property titles in the affected areas;

- A cadastral survey to delineate the railway corridor boundaries.

The committee will then refer its final report back to the Ministry of Property and Land Tenure, which will determine expropriation and compensation. This process is expected to take approximately six months.

Expropriation will enable the Government to grant Sundance's Cameroonian subsidiary Cam Iron (or an affiliate) the rights to the land necessary to construct and operate the railway, in accordance with the Mbalam Convention currently being negotiated between the Government of Cameroon and Sundance.

This declaration ensures all land required for the project is either subject to a Declaration of Public Utility or a Mining Permit Application and is a significant step forward to securing all land leases required in Cameroon. The declaration of public utility for the Kribi port area (which includes Lolabe) was announced in 2010 and environmental approval for the rail, port and mine was granted in 2010.

Sundance CEO and Managing Director Giulio Casello said the Cameroon Government has once again demonstrated its ongoing support for the Mbalam Iron Ore Project.

"We thank the Government of Cameroon and specifically the Minister of Property and Land Tenure for making this declaration," Mr Casello said. "This declaration demonstrates the Government's desire to finalise agreements required to commence the development of the Project."

Howdy Folks, ging an die Hauptversammlung gestern Dachte, ich hätte ein paar Notizen schreiben.
Erstens hatte ich ein kurzes Gespräch mit Michael Blackiston vor der Hauptversammlung.  Grundsätzlich habe ich vorgeschlagen, dass die langfristige Aktionäre  waren sehr zufrieden mit beiden Hanlongs Verhalten und niedrige Kugel  Angebot enttäuscht.  Michael Antwort war, die versuchen, ein Infrastrukturprojekt dieser  Größenordnung (ja es ist tatsächlich ein Infrastrukturprojekt und nicht  um eine Eisenerzgrube!) Bekommen war ungeheuer schwierig in diesem  Klima, und dass am Ende des Tages Hanlong waren die einzige Gruppe, die  wurden Stumpf bis das Geld bereit, aber es scheint, dass Hanlong haben  gerade alle brillant, ausgespielt und ich werde auf die etwas später.

George Jones eröffnet die Sitzung;
Er betonte, dass wir (den gesamten Markt) in sehr schwierigen Zeiten sind.  Ich muss zugeben, ich hatte ein bisschen wie ein Grinsen auf meinem  Gesicht, als George war Hervorhebung alle Errungenschaften seit der  letzten Hauptversammlung, und erklärte: "Wir zogen ein Eckpfeiler  Investor" (Hanlong).
Ich will nur in diese ein wenig weiter gehen. Es scheint, dass der Treuhänder der Talbott estate den Deal hat mit Hanlong für Talbots 16%, ohne die Bretter Wissen.  Jetzt nach dem Flugzeugabsturz, wenn die Aktie um rund 10 Cent  schmachten gab es ein echtes Problem bei den neuen Vorstand, dass es  eines feindlichen Übernahmeangebots für das Unternehmen etwa auf diesem  Niveau, so dass die Bretter Anstrengungen wurden in den frühen Tagen  mindestens wurden auf eine Übernahme Präventionsstrategie konzentriert.  Deshalb ist, wenn Hanlong und kam stellten sich als Sundances neuen  "Cornerstone Investor" das Board waren sehr zufrieden, da sie, dass sie  nun hielt eine Sperrminorität für jeden potenziellen feindlichen  Übernahme wusste.
Nun ist dies das Bit, das ich nicht bewusst war.
 Alle Ankündigungen, die wir hatten, dass Worte aufgenommen haben, um  die Wirkung in "fortgeschrittenen Verhandlungen mit potenziellen  Partnern ausziehen" wahr. Sundance war sehr nahe zu binden ein Off nehmen beschäftigen sich mit zwei Stahlwerken.  Hanlong sprang dann mit dem ersten Angebot, und zwischen den Zeilen  lesen war es so weit, die abhebt durchlaufen zu verhindern, dass es  unmöglich für Sundance zum Cap Ex allein zu finanzieren.
Brilliant!
 So ziemlich, sobald Hanlong gemacht das Gebot, war das Spiel vorbei für  Sundance vorwärts zu gehen, um die Produktion in seinem eigenen Recht.
 Jetzt unabhängig von der Verschwörungstheoretiker, Hanlong Wetter den  Preis manipuliert, bevor das Angebot oder nicht, das erste Angebot war,  glaube ich, aus dem Gedächtnis, etwa 30% höher als der durchschnittliche  gewichtete Preis von SDL in der Woche vor dem Angebot.
Der Vorstand war gezwungen, das Angebot zu überprüfen.
George erwähnt, dass seit dem ersten Kauf Hanlong haben ihre Beteiligung von 16% auf 17,4% erhöht
 Jetzt, um Salz in die Wunden reiben, George fort, dass mit Kosten von $  21,20 pro Tonne sagen, dies ist eine der billigsten IO produziert in  der Welt.
Jetzt haben wir alle an der areo mags sah.  Wir sind uns alle bewusst, dass die Ressource ist im Grunde die  gleichen die riesigen ittabirite Ablagerungen in Brasilien, und wir alle  wissen, dass es viel viel mehr IO in den Boden. George, wie wir der Meinung, dass Mbalam und Nabeeba wird am Ende mit einer Anzahlung "Multiples", was wir bisher definiert.
 George ging dann auf die Hervorhebung der Ressource-Upgrades, die ganze  Arbeit, dass der Vorstand getan hat, Verhandlungen über die Konvention,  etc.
George sagte dann dieses (Wort für Wort) "In Anbetracht der bestehenden Aktionäre  er fest davon überzeugt, dies ist ein gutes Angebot", dass das Scheme  of Arrangement alle Aktionäre gibt eine Stimme, und es gibt Hanlong die  Sicherheit bekommen alle Konventionen und Genehmigungen vor stumping  mehr Geld.
Nun ist die höchst vertraulichen Brief. Es war eine Escape-Klausel für SDL entschieden sie sich, um den Zustand zu verzichten, so was sagt euch das?
 Nun einige Leute würden unfreundlich legen nahe, dass das Board fast  Angst haben, dass, wenn das Angebot geht weg, der Aktienkurs wird  kapitulieren, während andere sagen, dass ohne Hanlong an Bord und die  Garantie des chinesischen Finanzwesens, dass die Mbalam Konvention nicht  durch die unterzeichnet werden kamerunischen Regierung, und das mit  daran, dass Sundance hat wirklich nichts. Ich bevorzuge die letztere glauben, alle obwohl es Verdienste für das erste Argument.
 Eine weitere interessante Sache war, dass George Jones sagte, dass der  Leiter der chinesischen Development Bank (es CITIC ist?) "Guaranteed der  Premierminister von Kamerun, dass sie (die Bank) wird die Finanzierung  des Projekts."
Die Beschlüsse wurden alle bestanden.
 Wenn über den Vergütungsbericht befragt besonders Giullios  Aufführungsrechte, Barry Eldridge grundsätzlich sagen, dass die  Aufführungsrechte an der letzten Hauptversammlung hatte bestanden, und  dass zu Giullio weglocken von seinem Kurzzeit-und langfristigen  Nutzen-Paket, dass SDL hatte, etwas Besseres zu bieten . Grundsätzlich, wenn Sie zahlen Erdnüsse erhalten Sie Affen.
Paul Denardi gab dann eine sehr glatte Darstellung, mit einem kleinen animierten Film erklärt alles über das gesamte Projekt.
 Ich fragte Paul, was mit den 50mtpa passiert angepriesen anlässlich der  Generalversammlung 2009, und er antwortete, dass sie festgestellt  hatten, dass es rentabler zu 35mtpa für eine längere Lebensdauer der  Mine mit der gleichen Capex mir war.
 Paul fuhr dann fort zu sagen, dass die Investitionsquote 135,00 $ pro  Tonne (ist das richtig, klingt hoch?) Und dass es eine relativ  preiswerte Bahn, denn es gab nur neun Brücken und keine Tunnel, und der  Hafen wurde ebenfalls am unteren Ende der die Kosten Maßstab wegen nicht  brauchen einen Wellenbrecher und Sein natürlich ziemlich tief.
 Paul fuhr fort zu erklären, dass Chinas inländische Eisenerz Produktion  war rückläufig, mit ihrer Nachfrage steigt, erwartet zwischen 770mt und  820 mt zwischen 2015 bis 2020 verwenden.
 Jetzt wissen wir, dass die Schiene Überkapazitäten hat, so was wird  Hanlong pro Tonne zu bekommen für den Versand anderer Völker Erz?
 Als ich die Frage gestellt, Paul ungern spekulieren, war, so, wenn ich  für eine Beratung gebeten, und schlug vor, $ 3,00 pro Tonne, 5,00 $ für  eine Tonne oder $ 10,00 pro Tonne, sprang George Jones und sagte, dass  es offensichtlich würde davon abhängen, wie weit die Erz transportiert  wurde und dass für "10,00 $ für eine Tonne es eine kurze Reise werden  würde", so dass für alle Analysten, fügen Sie mindestens weitere 500  Millionen Dollar pro Jahr, um die Cash-Flow für den Transport anderer  Völker Erz (und das ist sehr konservativ!)
Dieser Beitrag ist in einer epischen Drehen
So gab es viel mehr gesagt, aber ich will gehen und ein bisschen wie ein Blick in die Zukunft.
Jetzt im Grunde in einer Unternehmensumgebung Sinne ist es höchst unwahrscheinlich, dass wir ein weiteres Gebot Punkt zu sehen.  Dies liegt daran, Hanlong halten einen bedeutenden genug Spiel, um eine  feindliche Übernahme zu blockieren und das Scheme of Arrangement  schließt jede andere Form der Übernahme.
 Doch für die optimistische da draußen, war George selbst, dass bis die  Konvention unterzeichnet ist (voraussichtlich im März nächsten Jahres,  in der Nationalversammlung Sitzung), dass es kaum eine Chance, ein  weiteres Angebot, aber nach der Unterzeichnung der Konvention, dann wäre  das Projekt voll derisked werden, und wenn er (hypothetisch) sah bei  einer Übernahme hätte er nicht ein Gebot abgeben, bis dann.
 Und dann die große Frage für mich hat die kamerunische Regierung oder  einer ihrer Vertreter sind dem Vorstand oder einem anderen Vertreter des  Sundance, dass sie eine Vorliebe für das Geschäft mit den Chinesen zu  tun haben? Für mich ist die Frage, ob Vale, BHP oder RIO kann ein Interesse daran zeigen.
 Herr Jones dann sehr geschickt ging beantworten meine Frage nicht  direkt, sondern hob die Stärke der Beziehung zwischen der chinesischen  Regierung und der kamerunischen Regierung.  Dass die Chinesen hatten gerade ein großes Fußballstadion in Kamerun  gebaut und finanziert hatte und andere Infrastrukturprojekte gebaut in  Kamerun. Exakte Worte wieder "Die Regierung von Kamerun ist sehr glücklich, das Geschäft mit China zu tun".
 So von diesem kleinen Juwel, habe ich festgestellt, dass zumindest für  die nahe Zukunft erwarte nichts von SDL, ein bisschen mehr Bohrungen in  den nächsten 3 Monate vielleicht, eine andere Ressource up grade  vielleicht, aber nichts, bis zur Unterzeichnung der Konvention im März.  Dann denke ich, wenn Sie super optimistisch können Sie erwarten ein  konkurrierendes Übernahmeangebot von einem der großen 3, aber auch mit  einem ganz neuen Pilbra zu gewinnen sind, bezweifle ich, es wird  eintreten.
Y'all Spaß haben jetzt, und wenn Sie Fragen re der Hauptversammlung haben, werde ich sie beantworten morgen.
CiaoJ.

Sundance Resources Limited (ASX:SDL) Waives Highly Confident Letter and Proceeds with Scheme with Hanlong (Africa) Mining Investment Limited


Perth, Nov 28, 2011 (ABN Newswire) - Sundance Resources Limited ('Sundance' or 'the Company') (ASX:SDL) has today received formal notice from Hanlong (Africa) Mining Investment Limited ('Hanlong') that Hanlong will not receive the Highly Confident Letter from China Development Bank due by 28 November 2011 and requests that Sundance waive the requirement for the letter as a condition precedent for Phase One of the Scheme Implementation Agreement ('SIA') which was signed by both parties on 4 October 2011.

The Sundance Board believes it is in the best interests of all shareholders to waive the requirement for this letter, as it does not affect the current Scheme timetable. Hanlong have reassured the Company of its determination to continue with the Scheme and its confidence that subject to successful completion on acceptable terms of the Mbalam Convention, this Scheme will proceed as intended.

Mr George Jones, Chairman of Sundance, said that even without the letter he believed the Scheme with Hanlong could progress under the current indicative timetable and be completed by May next year.

"The Board of Sundance remains firmly of the view that completing this Scheme of Arrangement with Hanlong is an attractive outcome for shareholders who will receive a significant premium price of 57 cents cash per share compared to Sundance's current share price of around 42 cents. I received a letter from Hanlong which has assured us of Hanlong's genuine interest in acquiring Sundance," Mr Jones said.

"Although it is unfortunate that the letter has not been able to be achieved as expected, the Sundance Directors and I continue to stand by the belief that in the absence of a superior proposal, this continues to be in the best interest of all shareholders."

Sundance and Hanlong will continue to work together to confirm the ratification of the Mbalam Convention in the Republic of Cameroon and the Mining Permit in the Republic of Congo on acceptable terms by 29 February 2012.

Once that has been achieved and proof of availability of finance via a credit approved term sheet is obtained, the Scheme will proceed to the first court hearing, publication of the Scheme Booklet, and the holding of the Scheme Meeting.

Completion of the transaction is subject to the necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals and that the Mbalam Convention becomes binding in Cameroon and the granting of the Mining Permit in the Republic of Congo. Following this, the parties will request that the Court approves the Scheme.

Gold und Erzexplorer Sundance ausgesetzt, übernimmt Chinas Hanlong Mining?



(shareribs.com) Sydney 25.11.2011 - Der australische Erz-, Kupfer- und Goldexplorer Sundance Resources hatte sich heute vom Handel an der Börse aussetzen lassen.
Hintergrund ist eine bevorstehende Mitteilung zum Übernahmebestreben des Unternehmens durch die Tochter der chinesischen Sichuan Hanlong Group, der Hanlong Mining.

Die Hanlong Minig hatte vor über vier Monaten eine Anteilsübernahme angeboten, um ihren bisherigen Anteil von 19 Prozent weiter aufstocken. Dazu bot sie damals 50 Cent pro Aktie an, was einen zu zahlenden Betrag von 1,3 Mrd. Dollar ergibt.
Im September kamen die Verhandlungen dann zum erliegen, da gegen die Chefetage der in Sydney ansässigen Hanlong Insiderhandel, im Zusammenhang mit den Übernahmebestrebungen, vorgeworfen wurde.
Die Australian Securities and Investments Commission hatte per Gerichtsbeschluss das Einfrieren sämtlicher Vermögenswerte von Hanlong und dessen beiden Geschäftsführer, Steven Hui Xiao und Calvin Zhu, erwirkt. Desweiteren wurden beiden mit einer Reisebeschränkung belegt. Ebenfalls in den Ermittlungen eibezogen wurde die Ehefrau von Xiao und das Unternehmen Wingatta Pty Ltd, dessen Vermögen ebenfalls eingefroren wurden.

Vor gut einem Jahr erlitt Sundance Resources einen herben Rückschlag, als bei einem Flugzeugabsturz im Kongo die Führungsspitze des Unternehmens ums Leben kam. Für Sudance würde die Anteilserhöhung eine Unterstützung in dem Aufbau des milliardenschweren Mbalam- Minenprojekts in Kamerun sein.
Hier war das Unternehmen nun einen Schritt nach vorne gekommen. Vor zwei Tagen hatte der Geschäftsführer, Giulio Casello, des in Perth ansässigen Unternehmens mitteilt, dass Kamerun einer Passage durch sein Land zugestimmt habe. Sundance will eine Bahnstrecke von seinem Mbalam Erzprojekt zum Kribi Port errichten. Das es zu dieser Genehmigung kam, war letztlich dem chinesischen Partner Hanlong zu verdanken. Diese hatten Kamerun ihrerseits eine weitere Unterstützung zugesagt.

Die Aktie von Sundance lief seit Anfang des Monats seitwärts und hatte den gestrigen Handel mit einem Plus von 1,2 Prozent auf 42,5 Cent verlassen
