Name change and growth for EMED - shares could well be very cheap

2015-09-18 15:43:26

Spanish copper producer EMED Mining (EMED) plans to change its name to Atalaya Mining and to implement a one-for-30 share consolidation, as the AIM-quoted company prepares to boost annual production 50% to 7.5 million tonnes a year from the historic Rio Tinto mine near Seville. EMED, whose shares have fallen from a 12-month high of7.98p to 3.875p with copper in retreat, intends to reach that output level by the end of next June and lift it further to 9.5 million tonnes a year six months later  -- with expected extraction costs significantly below even today’s depressed copper price.

EMED Mining (EMED) hopes to produce the first concentrate from its re-launched 203 million-tonne Rio Tinto copper project in Spain during July or August, having raised £64.9 million with a financing package that brings in a substantial new shareholder in the shape of Boston-based Liberty Metals and Mining, part of US insurance giant Liberty Mutual.

EMED Mining looks for project funds

2015-03-31 04:58:59

Having successfully secured a three-month extension of a $30 million (£20 million) loan facility and convertible loan notes, unloved EMED Mining (EMED) now needs to assemble a financing package of E70 million (£51 million) and E90 million’ to re-launch copper production from Spain’s historic Rio Tinto mine by this autumn. So says Alberto Lavandeiro, AIM-quoted EMED’s chief executive officer, in the wake of an agreement by three key shareholders, lenders and potential customers to extend the loan repayment deadline and the maturity of the convertible by three months to the end of June.

EMED – Tomorrow’s (Good news) RNS today & CEO chat

2015-03-29 10:46:29

This release should have gone out on Friday but I guess it will go out at 7 AM Monday. In case you can’t wait here is the EMED Mining (EMED) RNS in full and it is good news but EMED is not out of the woods yet. I have also been chatting to the EMED CEO over the weekend – he seems a decent enough guy.

EMED Mining – enough is enough. We apologise. Sell.

2015-03-26 06:01:34

This has been a bad share tip. The macro scene has been unhelpful but whichever management team has been in charge EMED Mining (EMED) has not prospered. The latest revelation prompts us to apologise sincerely but to advise selling at 3.25p. Enough is enough.

The AIM-quoted company is discussing funding alternatives with several groups including its three key backers, the $82 billion Dutch commodity group Trafigura Beheer, US-based Orion Mining Finance and China’s Xianguang Copper, following the favourable decision by the government of the Province of Andalusia

EMED a Turning Point

2015-01-24 06:50:38

Having earlier in the day announced that a delegation from the regional authorities would be visiting the Rio Tinto mine site, EMED Mining (EMED) yesterday morning announced that during a meeting it has received formal communication of the granting of a mining permit – “the last significant regulatory approvals… before normal mining and processing operations can commence”.

New era and name for EMED Mining

2015-01-01 02:04:58

Alberto Lavendeira, new chief executive officer at copper hopeful EMED Mining (EMED), sounds confident the AIM-quoted company will receive permission ‘in the first or second week of January’ to restore copper production at the historic Rio Tinto mine in the Spanish province of Andalusia, after a series of corporate upheavals and the departure of most of the AIM-quoted company’s previous board.

New battle erupts at EMED Mining

2014-10-16 07:34:43

Multinational commodities group Trafigura, largest shareholder in AIM and Toronto-quoted EMED Mining (EMED), has stirred a flurry in the company’s shares by calling for the removal of most of its board to ‘bring about much-needed change’.  Having spent some £18 million earlier this year buying an 18% stake in EMED, Trafigura has called for a special investors’ meeting, claiming the present EMED board, under chairman Ronnie Beevor and chief executive officer Isaac Querub, ’is failing to serve the interests of shareholders’  and arguing the company, as currently constituted, lacks the financial resources and management capabilities to achieve its goal of reopening the historic Rio Tinto copper mine in the Spanish province of Andalusia.

EMED - After the Quarterlies a speculative buy still

2014-10-11 18:07:36

EMED Mining (EMED) has announced that it has completed its application for a mining permit for its Rio Tinto copper project and is “confident that it will receive the mining permit before year end”.

2014-08-30 11:34:40

EMED – Buy after placing

2014-08-19 08:28:34

Having worked to have key permits granted towards the re-starting of production from the Rio Tinto copper project in Spain,  EMED Mining (EMED) has announced a €6.80 million net cash outflow in the six months ended 30^th June 2014. Together with that negotiations “in respect of an equity financing to support an altered debt and equity structure… have taken considerably longer to conclude than originally anticipated”, this put its balance sheet in a troubling position and has seen it conditionally raise a further £13.1 million at 7.25p per share “to fund its activities up to the end of 2014, and thus enable the company to finalise its plans for the full financing of the Rio Tinto copper project”. 

EMED Mining; a punt for copper bulls

2014-05-21 07:05:55

Some may question the prospects for copper. Concerns about a Chinese economic slowdown and potential oversupply in 2014 abound. However, these negatives compete with the lowest stock levels in London Metal Exchange warehouses since 2008 and cheerful City forecasts. Isaac Querub and Alberto Lavandeira, respectively newly installed chief executive officer and chief operating officer EMED Mining (EMED), entertain no doubts as they prepare to bring Spain’s historic Rio Tinto copper mine in Andalusia back into production towards the end of next year.

EMED Mining: Buy - Above 200 Day Moving Average Targets 11p

2014-01-09 10:12:35

Given the way that EMED Mining (EMED) shares had made their way up from 5p in June up to as high as 10.5p at the beginning of last month it may seem churlish to complain about the overall performance of the stock in recent months.

2013-11-14 13:03:19

Despite the recent recovery  in the shares, most observers of EMED Mining (EMED) would concede that 2013 to date has been a year to forget as far as the stock price goes. 

EMED Quarterlies - still a buy

2013-11-13 11:12:24

EMED Mining (EMED) has reported a €3.76 million loss for the three months ended 30^th September 2013, with the developer-explorer updating on its Rio Tinto copper project in Spain that “we continue with our preparations on the ground in readiness for project execution and look forward to moving into the development and production stage of our cycle as soon as permitting allows”.

2013-09-19 12:31:42

EMED (EMED) has today announced that CEO and company founder Harry Adams has resigned with immediate effect.  Yeah right…time to get out some piano wire for another PR man who is being economical with the actualites. Step forward my old mate Nick Rome...

The release goes on with the usual corporate bullshit: “The Board would like to thank Mr. Anagnostaras-Adams for his dedication, leadership and contribution to the Company during his tenure as CEO.” Oh please, pass the sick bag.

2013-08-15 07:01:36

EMED (EMED): Double Bear Trap Should Be A Lasting Floor

2013-06-13 06:50:52

It is said that no one rings a bell at the bottom or the top of the market. However, what you tend to see instead are bull and bear traps designed to ensure that even if traders have correctly called the turning point correctly, there is such a rocky ride that they are liable to be stopped out.

EMED Mining (EMED): Buying At The Bottom – For A Change!

Regulatory approval for EMED Mining (EMED): Great news we have been waiting so long for this news.

AIM listed EMED (LSE:EMED) has been on the point of starting to build a huge copper mine in Spain for ages. But getting the consents needed seems harder than finding a 17 year old virgin in Romford. And EMED is still not there.
