Clive Palmer considers purchase of BHP assets
http://www.news.com.au/business/story/0,27753,257273
06-462,00.html
ONE of Australia's wealthiest individuals says he will consider buying BHP
Biliton's troubled nickel assets to underpin an expansion of the Yabulu nickel
refinery in Queensland.
The refinery was sold today to companies wholly owned by Queensland-based iron
ore billionaire Clive Palmer for an undisclosed sum.
Professor Palmer said that the purchase price was less than the $2 billion
replacement cost of the refinery.
He also said he would consider purchasing BHP's Ravensthorpe and Leinster nickel
mines in Western Australia to provide additional feedstock to an expanded Yabulu
refinery.
"The refinery has produced up to 32,000 tonnes of nickel and 2700 tonnes of
cobalt a year for the past 35 years,'' Prof Palmer said.
"BHP spent over $1 billion in the last two years upgrading the plant so it could
take another 40,000 tonnes of feedstock from Ravensthorpe in Western Australia.
"That plant was doing that up until Ravensthorpe closed down so there is the
potential to open up the back end of the plant again to take an additional
feedstock source.''
There is speculation that BHP Billiton will sell the mothballed Ravensthorpe
nickel laterite mine in WA's south, which closed in January about a year after
it opened resulting in 1800 job losses.
The future of the mining giant's operations at Leinster, WA is also in doubt.
Mines and Petroleum Minister Norman Moore recently threatened to close the
Perseverance mine following two rock fall incidents this month.
"It could be (of interest),'' Mr Palmer said.
"We've been negotiating Yabulu since December and haven't had the ability to
look at all the Ravensthorpe data and plant to do a proper due diligence to know
whether there is an angle or way that that could be revitalised.
"Maybe BHP want to put it on the market in the future and provide more information.
"We're also in the process of acquiring more nickel deposits to feed this plant.''
BHP Billiton Nickel West public affairs manager Graham Reynolds told AAP on
Tuesday that the miner had just finished an options study at Yabulu, under which
it would determine whether to retain the asset or divest it.
Mr Reynolds also said Ravensthorpe was the subject of an options study, which
was expected to conclude by the end of calendar 2009, and that there were no
current plans to sell the Nickel West assets including the Perseverance mine.
BHP acquired its Nickel West arm, the world's third largest producer of nickel
in concentrate, from WMC Resources in 2005. The assets include the Mt Keith
mine, Kambalda nickel concentrator, Kalgoorlie nickel smelter and Kwinana nickel
refinery.
About 300 workers were sacked at the Mt Keith mine in February, a month after
BHP Billiton decided to reduce the mine's output amid slumped nickel prices.

Thank you for reporting on the latest escapade of those clueless fools
turning so easily into Mining Criminals, as in the Telfer Mine Mass
Swindle & the Port Arthur Mass Murders, whose bloody commando was paid
on order from Howard, through an opportune 1 Billion loss of said
BHP !
Not only are BHP are frauds, liars, thieves & financial Criminals BUT
THEY HAVE WELL AS THEIR COMMISSIONNERS HOWARD & CO, BLOOD ON THEIR
FUCKING MONGREL HANDS !
Mr Kanga is a well aware gentleman with an irreprochable pedigree of
service to the land, of extensive Archaeological Discovery of World
importance, and the attacks to which is subjected come from yellow
cowards acting under the cloak of anonymous impunity .... AS THAT MOST
INFAMOUS Drsir Porky Howly !
Dear Mr Kanga, it looks you need some Guillotines to be shipped by
cargo plane over to the poor Convict Rabble country ....I am sure it
would be working overtime as soon as set up in the shade of some gum
tree !!! ... of course starting with those BH¨P criminals & following
with the Newcrest, Newmont & Boral Mining Manure !
In any case and considering the time remote over which such Criminal
behaviour has been enforced, as well as covered up by well known WA &
Federal Whorehouses, it 's out of question that the Collective
Chastisement should be lifted. Accordingly I have issued orders for
complete ban on Winter Rains over the whole country.... except in
those areas offshore where a shower or two might clear the hanging
dust for the Australian Fishes !
By the way, as I have promissed, the Coorong & Lower Lakes will be
freed soon to the Southern seas, helping the Murray-Darling to become
a sea arm with sharks all the way to the planned weir on the river !
( in fact planned as the present maximum point the tide will reach,
and no other reason indeed !)
With best regards

Indeed Sir JPT
If we may please borrow the clever french model they developed for
just such occasions we would be eternally grateful mate
As you know mate we dont have enough trees left to hang all the white
christian criminals so we will indeed need to find some other option
to deal with all those gulirty criminals once the truth is known and
justice gets its day in court mate

Diprotodon compared to a human
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcgk9t7p_42gqg3tzqm
Diprotodon optatum
Diprotodon superficially resembled a rhinoceros without a horn. Its
feet turned inwards like a wombat's, giving it a pigeon-toed
appearance. It had strong claws on the front feet and its pouch
opening faced backwards.
Footprints of its feet have been found showing a covering of hair
which indicates it had a coat similar to a modern wombat.
Until recently it was unknown how many species of Diprotodon had
existed.

Very interesting article demonstrating how the rain has doubled where
camels were left alone !
... and that Convict Rabble 's murdering the beautiful animal in
machine gun helicopter ?
Gee, they' r gone completely mad !
I TELL YOU SOLEMNLY MR KANGA THAT VERY YEAR ALL THAT POLITICAL SCUM
WILL BE ON THEIR KNEES BLEATING FOR RAIN TO THEIR JIC SPOOKS .... but
none will come, as I have issued order that none would be coming !
Watch my words & remember ! Not long to wait either !!!

Hi Sir Jean-Paul Turcaud
> Australia Mining Pioneer
Yes mate, the camels are browsers
As ALL gardeners KNOW , if you snip the tops off bushes they grow
lower and more bushy and less tall and spindly equals more shade on
the ground
Over VAST areas this cools down the country , and lowers evaporation
The opposite occurs where sheep and cattle graze
Rainfall has DOUBLED over the last 50 years ONLY where the camels live
Rain has HALVED where cattle live
Poor sill Aussie taxpayers think one million camels is a problem
BUT 30 million cattle are NOT
DUMB Aussies actually think camels are a PROBLEM in the desert but
cattle are not
So DUMB Aussies actually think shooting camels and destroying their
tourist industry AND cattle industry will help the environment
When I organize the BOYCOTT of tourism and beef it will cost DUMB
Aussie taxpayers BILLIONS
They sure are very very slow learners Sir JPT
GOD has indeed removed ALL reason from them mate
Thank GOD they will all soon be bankrupted
the Average Australian cattle farm loses $10,000 a year now , 30,000
loss making cattle farms will all go broke
They wont take long to ALL go broke once cattle prices crash
killing camels is EXACTLY the same as kid killing to me

Well, this is having Feeling on top of Awareness, and that Political
Rabble & Universities mass produced clueless Parasites should kiss
your hands, and thank the Almighty to have such gentleman of high
level of intelligence, to lead the country in period of darkness, as
this is the case presently in Australia !
Have you had some call lately from Canberra by Wong or Rudd, to ask
you your advice on the remedies which you would suggest, to mitigate
the present Collective Chastisement ???
I TELL YOU MATE, I BET YOU HAD NOT !
...although you are probably the last man alive presently with some
common sense left in that Hell on Earth.
Well as it is, just bide your time, and don't be in a hurry indeed !
Soon those two will be, with their hat in their hand, rigging at
your door !
At that point in time, please, don't take gloves to tell them their
fucking truth !
