Coal miner Prophecy Coal (CVE:PCY) said Monday that it opened the Toronto Stock Exchange along with staff and senior representatives from the TMX Group.
The company, a diversified thermal coal production business, held its official TSX listing ceremony at TMX Broadcast Centre in Toronto at 9 am.
Chief executive John Lee joined Robert Fotheringham of TMX Group to open the market, the company said Monday.
Among the guests in attendance at the ceremony were the Mongolian Ambassador to Canada and the Mongolian Trade Commissioner & Acting Consul, among others.
In November 2011, Prophecy Coal, a Vancouver-based company, received a license from the Mongolian government to build a 600 megawatt power plant at its Chandgana Tal thermal coal deposit. It also said that it plans to finish a power purchase deal and project financing this year.
Prophecy Coal develops and explores energy projects in Mongolia. Its flagship Ulaan Ovoo property started production in 2010 and its Chandgana mine mouth power plant is currently being permitted.
The company’s share price traded steady at 76 cents each on the Toronto Stock

Dazu muß man aber sagen, das es eine reine Spekulation vom Bullvestor ist.
Dort wird lediglich spekuliert, das es sinn machen würde wenn die Steag das macht.
Es wäre auch nicht das erste mal das die Steag in solchen Ländern Übernahmen macht, da haben sie also anscheinend keine Bedenken.
Außerdem kennt die Steag dieses Projekt sehr genau, weil sie gerade die Machbarkeitsstudie über das KKW von Prophecy gemacht haben.

The transaction provides Ursa shareholders with liquidity, sustaining capital and opportunity to participate in the significant exploration and development upside of Wellgreen and Lynn Lake.
The principal focus of Prophecy in 2012 and beyond is Wellgreen.

At the appropriate time, joint venture partners may be sought to develop Wellgreen, Lynn Lake, and Shakespeare.

Prophecy’s Key Assets
**The Wellgreen PGM Ni-Cu Project
The Wellgreen PGM Ni-Cu property covers an area of approximately 22 square miles in the Yukon Territory, Canada. The property has easy road access, located approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Burwash Landing, Yukon, 15 km from the paved 2 lane Alaska Highway and 402 km from Alaska’s Haines deep sea port. Wellgreen is part of Kluane Ultramafic Nickel belt, which is second largest behind the Thompson Belt in Canada and remains vastly unexplored. Management is focused on advancing the project, with most recent efforts centering around an underground drilling program initiated in February 2012 that is intended to further define the Wellgreen resource. A more comprehensive surface drilling operation will commence later in the spring. In addition, a scoping study (PEA) by Wardrop Engineering is expected to be completed by Q1 2012. Prophecy intends to utilize the results of the 2012 drill program to update the current resource estimate. Wellgreen contains an indicated mineral resource of 14 million tonnes at 0.69% nickel, 0.62% copper and 2.25 g/t PGM+Au and 289 million tonnes of inferred resources at 0.28% nickel, 0.35% copper and 1.18 g/t PGM+Au, all estimated at 0.4% NiEq cut-off (Wardrop Technical Report July 2011).

The deposit is in Manitoba, Canada, which is mining friendly and also adjacent to a power line, rail line, and airport. Lynn Lake contains Measured and indicated mineral resources of 22.9 million tons of grading, of 0.57% nickel and 0.30% copper and 8.1 million tonnes of Inferred Resource at 0.51% Nickel & 0.28% Copper (Wardrop Technical Report April 2011).

Ursa’s Key Assets
*The Shakespeare Mine
The Shakespeare PGM-Ni-Cu Mine is located 70 km west of Sudbury, Ontario. In 2010 and 2011, through contract mining, the Company trucked and delivered a total of over 360,000 tonnes of ore to the Sudbury’s Strathcona Mill for processing. Total revenue generated was over $20,000,000. Ursa believes there is potential to increase throughput and realize cost savings by constructing a mill on site.
The feasibility study by Micon International Limited in January 2006 and subsequently updated in 2008, defined a Probable Reserve of 11,828,000 tonnes grading 0.33% nickel, 0.35% copper, 0.02% cobalt, 0.33 g/t platinum, 0.36 g/t palladium and 0.18 g/t gold. The mineral reserve is to a maximum depth of 250 metres below surface.
Tonnes (t) PGM+Au (g/t) Ni (%) Cu (%)
Probable 11.8 Million 0.87 0.33 0.35
With a 4,500 tpd Mill on site, the study projects an after tax internal rate of return ("IRR") of 22.6% (29.1% pre-tax IRR) on an initial total capital cost of C$148,193,000.The undiscounted total annual cash flow ("NPV") is C$169,581,000 and the NPV discounted at 8% is C$73,297,000. The project has a 7.2 year mine production life. The economic analysis makes the assumption of the following long term metal prices over the life of the project, expressed in 2007 dollars, nickel US$9.37/lb, copper US$2.11/lb, cobalt US$27.57/lb, platinum US$995.52/ounce, palladium US$342.49/ounce, gold US$563.27/ounce.
Mr. T. Hennessey, P.Geo, of Micon and Mr. E. Puritch P.Eng. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. were the qualified persons for the Shakespeare reserve estimates and Mr. Ian Ward, P.Eng. of Micon was the qualified person for the Shakespeare feasibility study.
