Medinah Minerals (OTC/PINK: MDMN) today issued the following
shareholder update concerning mining developments at the LDM Chile
mining project.
Following is the report received from LDM Chile as to mine
operations at the Las dos Marias site, dated July 15, 2013.
LDM is in the process of developing formal reserve estimates.
This update is based upon preliminary and unproven assumptions at
this early stage of the mining project. Now that LDM is moving into
an operational stage from development, more information will become
available over time by which to better provide forecasts on mineral
resources, cash flows and operations. Mineralization may not be
classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made
that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced
and extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the
indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves.
Information concerning a description of mineralization and
resources contained in this update may not be comparable to
information made public by US companies subject to the reporting
and disclosure requirement of the Securities and Exchange
Commission of the United States Government.
Investors should be aware that LDM is a privately owned company
and that Medinah Minerals, Inc.'s involvement is not through direct
ownership but rather through a profit-sharing position whereby
Medinah Minerals, Inc. will receive a 30% portion of LDM’s net
production earnings from the Los Amigos #1 claim. It should also be
noted that Medinah Minerals, Inc. owns a 51% shareholding interest
in Medinah Mining Chile, which in turn owns 20% of LDM Chile.
Therefore, Medinah Minerals, Inc. is not responsible or liable for
any statements, projections, releases, acts or decisions of LDM nor
does Medinah Minerals, Inc. warrant or guarantee, in any manner,
the performance or obligations of LDM in any respect.

COMPAÑIA MINERA LDM CHILEProject
Update Submitted by LDM ChileSantiago, ChileJuly 15, 2013
Updated summary of Las Dos Marias ore possibilities and the
production outlook.
Caution: All calculation of
grades and tonnage are estimates only and not proven.
Earnings and valuations are based on these
estimates.
Note: The calculations in this report are ultra-conservative using volumes and values in the
order of 33% of estimated non-proven resources.
The LDM mining operation has grown significantly to the point
whereby the Company is now looking to hire a highly competent
mining Manager/Engineer to address the day-to-day operations
including:
- Baseline measurements of copper ore
inventory and sorting of copper grades for shipment.
- Management of general mining
operations, staffing of crews, shipping schedules, mine safety and
security concerns.
- Establishment of a mining development
plan devised for ongoing production, building to an intended 400
tonnes per day to the Til Til processing plant.
- Full assessment of future gold
production and expansion for Adit 1/gold tunnel.
- Coordinate mine operations with
processing plants, audit processing results and reconcile payments
with output.
LDM has identified valuable resources that can provide continual
cash flows for all parties. This must now be recognized and treated
as an assumed long-term producing mine operation.
Sr. Quijano has been very busy gathering facts, and organizing
shipping schedules to the mills that have the capacity to accept
our ore. Bringing in outside professional assistance to analyze our
ore deposits, check our mining work and access roads, has brought
LDM to the point where we can now expect consistent and ongoing
production schedules.
We can now get a preliminary analysis
of the project for cash flows, ore reserves and projected annual
earnings from production, as well as potential in-ground asset
values.
Copper ores
From the data and discussions with various geologists, Sr.
Quijano has received estimates through their visual observations
that the approximate size of the skarn structure is 400 meters by
500 meters by 200 meters but further depth and width ore resource
deposit determinations are required.
Using a very conservative estimate of only 10% of these
resources being ore grade, a simple calculation shows ore tonnage
in the copper skarn to be approximately 9 million tonnes. For
discussion purposes only, we will use 3 million tonnes or 1/3 the
volume to be even more conservative.
Reserves: 3 million tonnes grading potentially 3% copper (target
4%)
Production rate: initial target 250 tonnes/day (projected 400
tonnes/day)
Gross revenues: approximately $205/tonne
Net operating/milling/trucking costs: $100/tonne
Projected Net revenues: $105/tonne
Targeted Daily production net revenues: 250 x $105 net or
$6.9 million per annum.
Note:
(1) No values attributed to gold or
silver at this point. (2)
Recent assays by Juan José Quijano
Fernández returned 16.81% cu and 250 g/t ag with some gold values.
(Certificado de Analisis – see
www.medinah-minerals.com/Projects).
(3) Medinah Minerals, Inc. is entitled to 30% of projected net
revenue.
The next process is the calculation of potential mine life.
Using the figures provided above by the LDM geologist and using
a shipping tonnage of 250 tonnes per day and 22 working days per
month, we can calculate an annual production tonnage of 66,000
tonnes throughput per year from only the copper skarn zone.
This calculation shows a mine life at this minimal production
rate could be 45 years from the skarn zone alone.
As you can see, this is a small mining operation and production
that can easily be tripled or quadrupled as enhancements in
production and shipping improvements are attained. Production will
be doubled as Sr. Quijano has contracted an additional mill to
process the copper/gold ore not included in the skarn deposit. If
ore production were increased, there would still exist at least a
15+ year copper ore supply.
As cash flows begin, LDM company owners plan a series of short
drill holes to further test the extent and grade of the known
copper skarn currently being mined.
This could generate a proven reserves
category for LDM for many years.
The proven reserves category will include the high-grade,
gold-bearing quartz veins that are planned for production and will
be included in the second milling process. Additional to the
gold-bearing quartz veins at DDH-01 and DDH-02, more copper-bearing
structures have been uncovered during exploratory mining
operations. These new structures differ significantly from the
high-grade copper skarn. These very large veins contain both gold
and copper mineralization and one has been blasted 8 meters wide,
not yet reaching the other side.
Gold Ores
We can utilize similar production and cash flow calculations as
we have done with the production estimates from the copper skarn,
except in the case of the newly located copper/gold veins, and
later, the inclusion of gold values will be assessed as well.
5 grams of gold/tonne could produce an additional $14 million
per annum. 3% copper could produce an additional $7 million in
copper production.
This gold ore will be shipped to the second processing mill that
is better equipped for gold extraction along with the copper.
Sr. Quijano is negotiating an arrangement with this second
processing mill that will take in the copper/gold ore that should
exceed the revenues of the copper skarn due to increased gold
recovery.
Potential Net Earnings per annumMill 2: $21
millionMill 1: $7 millionTotal Potential Net income from both mills: $28
million per year.
These projections are based on 250
tonnes/day shipped. The mill projects full utilization at
400 tonnes/day.
This is a very basic valuation exercise and it must be taken
into account that there is much more to the LDM deposit that just
the skarn. The LDM/Altos Plateau deposit was created by an enormous
underlying heat source creating a mineralized ore body known as a
porphyry. Through the results thus far, it is believed that the
copper and copper/gold/silver associated with this discovery, is
much more extensive than just the skarn. Indeed the miners have
discovered several extremely large copper/gold-bearing vein
structures (potential tonnages) that have not been included in this
preliminary evaluation. Further, and not associated with the
porphyry, are the high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins in DDH-02
that have not yet been reached by the miners.
Asset valuation
Until now, we have only used a calculation of 3% of the reported
size of the skarn zone in our ore calculations. We have also
disclosed that additional mineralized structures have been
discovered during the mining process and that we are soon to be
mining the DDH-01 and DDH-02 gold-bearing quartz veins.
With these additional factors in mind, it would be more accurate
to extend the in-ground asset assessment to 10% of the volumetric
ore reserve calculations. Also, as there is only one section of the
copper-bearing structure that contains only minimal gold values, an
overall inclusion of 3 grams/tonne of gold is justified from assay
results of stockpiles and sampling. Again, this assessment assumes
that all ore zones end within the boundaries of the volumetric
skarn zone calculation. These zones are likely to extend added
distances, but for now this will give a base line from which to
begin to evaluate the minimum basic potential of the LDM
discovery.
We begin at 9 million tonnes of ore grading 3% copper. This
produces a gross value of $205/tonne or net $105/tonne.
Gold valuations estimates are 3 grams of gold/tonne. This lower
valuation ignores all of the known high-grade gold ore, both
stockpiled and assayed, and yet to be determined.
This produces a gross value of $116/tonne and a net of
$116/tonne as the copper has paid all costs of production.
Copper asset in ground net reserves potential: $947,340,000Gold
asset in ground net reserves potential: $1,044,000,000
This indicates a potential net asset
value of nearly $2 billion in the volumetric skarn analysis area at
the LDM discovery.
The LDM project, to date, indicates a
potential large in-ground asset. This analysis is
restrictive to the Los Amigos #1 LDM discovery only and no other
values are included from adjacent claims or from the Gordon
breccia.
When all the factors are taken into account, fully confirmed and
published in an analytical accounting, many analysts will likely
conclude a much larger valuation for the LDM Company. This will
likely be based on the ability to create future production
expansion and increases in cash flow and reserve tonnages. For the
purposes of this analysis, we have presented a conservative based
scenario.
Compañia LDM Chile inventory ore,
creating cash flow from all mill receipts and establishment of a
viable ongoing copper and gold mining operation, should further
enhance the valuations of the LDM.
