CWRN Cotton and Western Mining Inc (GM)

Cotton & Western Mining, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CWRN) -- China's Iron Ore Imports rose 3.4% in June to the second highest level this year, as rising prices prompted steelmakers to expand output and buy more raw materials.

Imports were 55.3 million metric tons (MMT) for June, the Chinese General Customs stated on its website http://www.customs.gov.cn/publish/portal0/. That's 3.4% more than the 53.5 mmt in May and 46% higher than a year ago, according to Bloomberg data. More information on this report can be read at http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601012&sid=aq9891I0gFwo.

CWRN has no immediate plans to seek a higher fixed annual price as the 2009 prices have been agreed upon with an un-named buyer. Current FOB annual contract pricing is $45.00 per each Dry Metric Ton (DMT) shipped while one-off Spot Sales now at $76.50 CIF in main China ports on base Fe content of 62%. Cotton & Western is expected to open production at 52,000 DMT per month, which will be shipped from the Pacific Ocean Port of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

Cotton & Western Mining recently projected revenues in excess of $126 Million based on an agreed base price of $45.00 FOB Mexico, per each dry metric ton sold on a guaranteed 64.5% Fe (iron content) with bonus payment of $0.6976 for each 1% Fe content above the minimum contract specifications. The average Fe content as tested in 2008 for Baja NO. 14 is 67% Fe content.
