Yellowhead Mining sure is showing a lot of potential

Yellowhead Mining is a Canadian company with a 100% interest (*) in the Harper Creek copper-gold-silver development project in south-central British Columbia, approximately 150 kilometres by highway north of Kamloops. Harper Creek offers exceptional potential as one of the largest copper development projects in Canada.

HARPER CREEK PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

• NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment completed March 2011
• Detailed Feasibility Study to commence April 2011
• Measured and Indicated resource of 532 million tonnes grading 0.31% copper, .032g/t gold and 1.08 g/t silver, plus an Inferred resource of 117.2 million tonnes grading 0.29% copper, .032 g/t gold and 1.32 g/t silver, containing 3.6 billion pounds and 0.7 billion pounds of copper respectively, at a 0.2% copper cut-off (**).
• Estimated total production: 2.857 billion pounds copper, 256,000 oz. gold and 4.876 million oz. silver in concentrate
• Mine life 22 years at a milling rate of 70,000 tonnes/day
• Stripping ratio 0.88:1 life-of-mine
• Projected capital cost of CDN$759 million in Q4-2010 dollars, including contingency
• Site operating costs are estimated at C$1.40/lb before precious metal credits. The breakeven copper price including capital repayment (IRR=0%) is determined to be US$1.94/lb using US$1,058 for gold and US$16.57 for silver
• Harper Creek is located adjacent to rail, highway, power, water and town-sites, resulting in capital and operating cost advantages.
• Test work indicates that the concentrate is clean with no smelter penalties expected
• Senior management has extensive international experience with large scale open pit copper projects
• Drilling data over 60,680 metres, including 29,701 metres by Noranda and US Steel in the 1960's and 1970's and a junior exploration company in 1996, 26,854 metres by Yellowhead in 2006 - 2008 and 5,173 metres in 10 holes in late 2010 through March 2011.
• Excellent potential to significantly expand the resource: numerous exploration targets outside the resource envelope have been identified through airborne and ground geophysics and soil geochemistry.

Yellowhead is well-financed, with a cash position of $4.5 million (March 2011) and an announced bought deal financing of $20 million expected to close by April 5, 2011.

(*) 775 ha subject to a 3% royalty capped at $2.5 million, adjusted for inflation and 618 ha subject to a 2.5% NSR royalty, which includes an estimated 3.3 million tonnes of resource expected to be mined starting in year 9 of the current mine production schedule.

At the close of trading on May 20, 2011 the price of YMI was $1.14. At this level it would seem this could be a good entry point. This is in my opinion a good company to add to your watchlist, and I see the potential for YMI, to increase their market cap, to be well within realistic expectations. This is a company, that for those who are interested in a copper play, I think is worthy of a serious amount of due diligence. I urge everyone to do their due diligence on YMI if you are thinking of investing in the company. A good place to start would be the companies web site at www.yellowheadmining.com
