In Conclusion To maximise investor returns Sound execution of a plan….. Step 1: Que River – gives BSM “producer” status & . positive cash flow – funds next step If there is excess cash (indicated by positive ore reconciliation trends), plan to accumulate it. Step 2: Hellyer Mine Project has the potential to add “meaningful” scale production profile. Aiming for early staged development approach 12-18 month time frame. Step 3: Exploration – focus on advanced high grade polymetallic projects and continue some early stage exploration. Seek out new projects & corporate deals
Finally, Why buy Bass Metals ? BSM management has experienced market downturns before. Whilst other companies suddenly, BECOME cautious…..
- …..BSM has, ALWAYS been cautious!
• Focused on high grade polymetallic projects • Focused on safety and sustainable management systems • Focused on cash flow protected by sensible hedging Now, in this tough market – we intend to exploit the opportunities; we are • Optimistic about metal demand and prices in 2009 onwards • Self-funding the development of our project pipeline • Actively seeking out new projects and sensible deals
…..to maximise shareholder value!
