Its recent JORC compliant resource estimate for its flagship Kun-Manieproject is 341,000 tonnes of contained nickel and 95,500 tonnes of copper andthis is expected to increase as further exploration is completed. This resource,which has been achieved in only 16 months of field work, makes Kun-Manie one ofthe largest new nickel sulphide discoveries since Voisey's Bay. In December 2007, Amur received the results of an independently compiledpre-feasibility study, which conservatively indicates a Post Tax NPV (10%) of$84 million with an IRR of 15.7%. The study contemplates producing 16,000 tonnesof nickel per year in concentrate from three deposits drilled to date on theKun-Manie license as well as noting considerable upside potential.
