Cuervo Resources confident to find JV partner for Cerro Ccopane project as iron ore prices and demand rise
Cuervo Resources Inc (CNSX: FE, FWB: CRR) said that the outlook for finding a joint venture partner for its Cerro Ccopane iron ore project in Peru has improved, adding that the company’s share price did not reflect the developments that have taken place at Cuervo or in the industry in general.
These developments included the increase of iron ore spot prices from US$60/lb to US$100/lb, while China’s iron ore imports have reaches record levels. The company has also noted the decision from FTSE 100 base metal focused miner Xstrata (LSE: XTA) to enter the iron ore industry for the first time with a US$50 million investment for a 50% interest in an iron ore project located in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The company got another confidence boost from the sale of Caldero Resource’s Pampa de Pongo iron ore property in southern Peru to a Chinese steelmaker for US$100 million, also saying that apart from China, steelmakers and iron ore producers in India, South Korea, Australia and Brazil were not satisfied with their current supplies of THE raw material.
As for the company’s own project Cerro Ccopane, Cuervo said that the construction of a slurry pipeline to the coast was found to be the solution making the most economical sense by a study by Sandwell Engineering, addressing the transportation issues at the property that have been a matter of concern by investors. Cuervo also defended its decision to list on the Canadian National Stock Exchange (CNSX), saying it was a “streamlined, fully disclosed, fully accredited and cost effective alternative.”
“As an emerging company, we have been able to concentrate our focus on the Cerro Ccopane project without being overly burdened. The company does recognize the need for its shares to be listed and traded on a senior exchange, which would be advantageous to attract institutional investors. This opportunity should be achieved upon gaining project financing from a joint-venture partner,” said chief executive and chairman of Cuervo, Brian Berner.
Finding a partner will help the company fund the planned drilling program with an estimated cost of US$40 million to explore two major target zones at the property.
An NI43-101-compliant resource estimate for the Orcopura zone of mineralization currently stands at 56 Mt (million tonnes) grading 46% iron in the measured and indicated categories, while a further 51 Mt grading 43% iron is reported to be present in the Inferred category. Orcopura is only one of six known zones at the property, which is believed to have the potential to contain up to 2 billion tonnes of iron ore.
