Hi Nathan, Please add me in. Thanks, YJ

Newman is in India, Alpha project well on its way.

Hi Josh, is emerald still a good place to invest. I remember you indicating that prices may go up in second half of 2012 whereas it has stabilised.. If alpha project  is delayed what will be the impact? Already 150 properties for rent. Your insight will be valuable.

I will continue to invest in Whyalla and the copper, uranium aren't going anywhere. The project will happen at some point of time and in long term it will be a gain. Mining companies will play all the tricks and BHP is a master of it. Who knows, in couple of years time there may be another company who will be interested in exploring Olympic dam.…[Read more]

Although I do not own any property in Dysart (I came close to buying one this month but did not sign the contract as I thought it was a high entry point) I think fundamentals of mining is very strong and these towns will benefit from it for next 30 years atleast. Just because they have closed one mine doesnt mean that coal is not required at all.…[Read more]

I have done my due-deligence with respect to my serviceability (I am a familman with 2 kids as well, so I had tpo). I have done my research from top to bottom and I am sure that these both propertie values are going to increase by atleast 10% in next year or so. Hence do not want to lose 100K I am sure there is a way out.

Currently with ANZ. And yes looking for 95% for both.Contract is Subjest to finance.Cheers
