Scrollt mal auf der verlinkten Seite ganz nach unten. Dort gibt es ein schönes Interview von Crook
What recent news would you like to highlight to investors attending?
– completion of successful drilling campaigns on our three main projects in the past three months. The campaigns were as follows:
– definition drilling at the Sinclair Zone to assist in planning for mining activities due to commence in June 2018. Caesium, lithium and potassium will be mined.
– drilling targeting cobalt/nickel laterites and nickel sulphides at the Golden Ridge Project
– exploration drilling at the Mavis Lake Project (spodumene lithium) in Canada which built on previous results, expanding the known mineralisation area.
What are your key goals for the next 3, 6 and 12 months?
3 Months:
Sinclair Zone Pegmatite Project – commence production of caesium and other co-products (lithium and potassium).
6 Months:
Sinclair Zone:
Delivery of first caesium (pollucite) as direct shipped ore (DSO) material.
Blair Project:
Implement strategy to fast track the cobalt project, including resource definition drilling and ‘first pass’ metallurgical testwork.
12 Months:
Sinclair Zone:
Continue marketing and selling the potassium feldspar. Instigate exploration programme across the broader Pioneer Dome Pegmatite Project.
Golden Ridge Project:
Exploration Target of 40-50Mt of cobalt & nickel mineralisation; and
Follow up the discovery of nickel sulphides in the vicinity of the closed Blair nickel sulphide mine.
Mavis Lake:
Create further value via exploration and pursue aggregration with nearby projects.
What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?
Balancing the allocation of resources (personnel, time & funds) so that mining activities at the Sinclair Zone Project proceed on time while still advancing the exploration projects, particularly the Blair Project (cobalt/nickel). This is being managed by adding contractors to focus on specific key tasks.
The risks associated with mining and ore delivery are being mitigated by the engagement of a very experienced project manager and ancillary operations personnel and the use of a mining contractor expert in small open pit mining operations.
The risks associated with exploration programmes as new projects are advanced are managed by by the company’s geological team comprising in-house exploration geologists and consultants with specific expertise .
In a sentence, what do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
Pioneer is about to commence its first mining operation. Funds from the Sinclair Zone Pegmatite Mine will be applied to a diversified portfolio of advanced exploration projects in commodities that may provide high share price leverage linked to success, underpinned by cash flow.
