2 Sept 2013farm in farm out agreement● Neutral
Meteoric Resources' release of the same Barkly farm-in, from the partner's side: Blaze can earn 50% for $250,000 by March 2015, a further 20% for $350,000 by 31 March 2017, and 80% overall. Duplicates Blaze's own announcement; no new terms.
June 2013 quarter: no fieldwork was done as Blaze assesses its project given poor market conditions. E53/1582 was relinquished because the spend could not be justified, leaving 3 licences of 108.3 sq km. The company is also assessing projects that may complement Yeelirrie.
March 2013 quarter: assessment of the biogeochemical results and field-truthing continue, with tighter sampling and more mapping planned, including the large copper target. Licences stand at 4 granted, 322.7 sq km. No new results.
Half-year to 31 December 2012 loss was $458,423 (prior period $3,327,604). Field-truthing of the biogeochemical anomalies continues, with tighter sampling planned. Licences now total 4 granted, 322.7 sq km, and the neighbouring project is described as Cameco's.
31 Oct 2012capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Quarterly report says Blaze raised $11,280,000 before costs on 26 September 2012 by placing 1.6 billion shares at 0.08c each. Limited site visits to anomalies found no notable mineralised outcrop; Cameco is acquiring BHP's adjacent Yeelirrie project for over $410m.
What it means for a shareholder
1.60bn new shares at A$0.0008 to raise about A$1.3m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
Year to 30 June 2012 loss was $3,420,460 (2011: $696,403). Yeelirrie is cut to 5 granted licences, 429.8 sq km, after anomaly ranking. Michael Scivolo became chairman on 1 September 2012, replacing Robert Collins, who stays as a director.
December 2011 quarter: the biogeochemical survey found numerous anomalies, including uranium, nickel, gold and a 36 sq km copper target with iron-oxide-copper-gold style features. To cut costs, E57/608, E57/609 and E36/709 were surrendered, leaving 7 granted and 1 pending licence, about 1,000 sq km.
September 2011 quarter: biogeochemical assays are complete and with a consultant; initial indications suggest several anomalies, still to be confirmed. Final report awaited. E53/1187 was surrendered, leaving 9 granted and 2 pending licences over more than 1,500 sq km.
June quarter: 262 biogeochemical samples, including kangaroo scats, were collected on a 2.4 x 2.4 km grid across over 1,600 sq km. Assays are under way at Intertek Genalysis; no results yet. Follows the planned sampling.
March quarter: a prospectivity analysis defined 62 target areas, each at least 1km across, on Blaze's licences. Two more licences were granted, giving 9 granted and 2 pending. Biogeochemical sampling is scheduled for the June quarter 2011.
Half-year to 31 December 2010 loss was $281,643 (prior period $503,929). Only 26 of the planned 80 holes were drilled, on tracks over three licences, and results were anomalous but sub-economic. None of the major targets were tested.
A preliminary program of 80 shallow RAB holes (about 20m deep, 1,600m total) is under way at Yeelirrie to understand the geology. Systematic drilling is planned for 2011. This follows the 'shallow drilling later this year' plan; no results yet.
Blaze applied for four more Yeelirrie exploration licences covering over 780 sq km northwest of BHP's deposit, lifting the holding to 7 granted and 4 pending licences, about 1,600 sq km. Lidar surveys were flown ahead of hyperspectral work.
Amended annual report for year to 30 June 2010; the visible text matches the 2 September report, including the $867,481 loss. The reason for the amendment is not stated in the text provided.
Annual report for year to 30 June 2010 shows a loss of $867,481 (2009: $530,401). Yeelirrie is 7 granted and 2 pending licences covering 1,194.8 sq km, with minimum spend of $320,000 a year. Board unchanged.
June quarter: field work began at Yeelirrie, with reconnaissance, mapping and sampling. Priority targets include buried channels on E57/1446 and 1453 and uranium-rich granites; a hyperspectral survey is underway. No drilling or assay results reported.
Geological report on the Yeelirrie Valley project repeats the case for uranium prospectivity next to BHP's deposit, listing nine granted licences over 1,000 sq km. Background description only; no new results or drilling.
19 July 2010capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Blaze says it completed a placement of over $1.2 million, funding an exploration program at Yeelirrie beside BHP's 52,000t U3O8 deposit. Hyperspectral surveys come first, with shallow drilling 'later this year'. Completes the placement flagged in April; no drilling results yet.
Raises $240,000 now via 40m shares at 0.6c with free options at 1.6c expiring March 2014. A further up to 120m shares at not less than 0.65c needs shareholder approval; total up to $1.02m for Yeelirrie exploration and working capital.
What it means for a shareholder
40.0m new shares at A$0.006 to raise about A$240,000. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
New management will not pursue the previous team's shallow drilling plan on Yeelirrie, saying better targets exist, notably on recently granted E57/1446 and 1453. Field reconnaissance is due May 2010, and the company is seeking further uranium projects. This reverses the earlier 579-hole plan.
Half-year to 31 December 2009 loss of $504k (prior period $289k). Directors are now Collins (chair), Scivolo and Majteles. Yeelirrie is described as 8 granted licences and 1 application covering over 916 sq km, below the earlier 1,137 sq km figure.
Initial director interest notices for Scivolo, Majteles and Collins, appointed 20 October 2009. Each shows nil holdings. Administrative follow-up to the board change.
Final director interest notices for Hyde, Lee and Roberts, who ceased as directors on 20 October 2009. Each shows nil holdings. Administrative follow-up to the board change.
21 Oct 2009director officer appointment● NeutralMajor
Colbern had the 16 November meeting cancelled, ending the board contest. Hyde, Lee and Roberts resigned and were replaced by Sol Majteles, Michael Scivolo and Robert Collins, who say they will seek a 'new direction' for Blaze. David Zukerman becomes company secretary.
Four more Yeelirrie tenements granted, taking the stated project area to 1,137 sq km (up from over 1,000 sq km). One application remains pending. No drilling or results yet.
Annual report for year to 30 June 2009 confirms a $530k loss (2008: $631k). Yeelirrie holding is over 1,000 sq km, including three licences bought from Epsilon Energy for $30,000 plus a 2.5% royalty. Board is Hyde, Roberts and Lee.
Chairman says three new Yeelirrie licences are granted and up to 579 holes are planned under the pending Program of Work. PIXE/Kemeleon have not performed to expectations, but the board still sees potential. Largely repeats the annual report.
