COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 20, 2007--Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (NYSE:CDE) (TSX:CDM) (ASX:CXC) today announced that commissioning of the new 240 tonne per day flotation mill at the Company's high-grade Martha silver mine in southern Argentina has begun this week with the first shipment of concentrate expected in January.

Since purchasing Martha for $2.5 million in 2002, the Company has produced over 11.5 million silver ounces from Martha and has steadily increased Martha's proven and probable silver mineral reserves and mineral resources through an aggressive exploration program. In the first half of 2007, Martha produced approximately 1.4 million ounces of silver and as of June 30, 2007, proven and probable silver mineral reserves totaled 7.6 million ounces, a 25% increase compared to year-end 2006 levels.

With the continuing drilling through the second half of the year, further reserve increases are expected at year-end.

The new facility was completed in nine months at a cost of approximately $15 million and will accommodate annual silver production of as much as three million ounces of silver. Previously, Martha's ore was shipped 270 miles to the Company's Cerro Bayo mine in Chile for processing. With the commissioning of this new mill at Martha, these transportation costs will be eliminated.

Ein kleiner persönlicher Kommentar zu Coeur (neben den vielen announcements):
Coeur lief/läuft bei vielen Analysten immer unter dem Titel "...es gibt bessere Silberwerte...", (zuletzt M. Ewald "Austria Börsenbrief"). Seitdem sie Bolnisi übernommen haben (da war ich einmal investiert) hab ich sie auf der watchlist, vor kurzem habe ich mich eingekauft. Die Bewertung war m.E. nach schon unlogisch gering.
Möglicherweise schafft es das Management reihenweise Projekte an die Wand zu fahren, derzeit reicht aber beinahe ein einfachster Autopilot um ihr absolut sensationelles Minenportfolio und die Minenpipeline auf die sehr ertragreiche Seite zu bringen.

Meine Einschätzung: anscheinend kriegen alle Depressionen wenn sie nur den Namen Coeur hören (das spiegelt der Kursverlauf ), aber die laufenden und die anstehenden Projekte sind M.E. sehr gut und stehen in keinem Verhältnis zur relativ geringen Marktkapitalisierung für einen ungehedgten 2/3Silber-1/3Goldproducer ????? Der KGV für 2010 ist deutlich unter 5 !!!(25-30 Mill. oz zu unter 2Dollar(durch Gold) ergibt 300-400Mill. Gewinn-vor der Steuer, aber trotzdem-, bei derzeitigen Silberpreisen, bei Kapitalisierung. von 1200 Mill).
Ist es nur die Geschichte??? Seh ich die Perspektive zu positiv???
(Sind es die Brandblasen von früher??)
Danke für geäußerte Meinungen!!

Hallo zusammen,

hat jemand eine vernünftige Erklärung für die absolute Nichtperformance dieses Wertes? Bin seit Oktober drin, in der Erwartung, mit einem Anstieg des Silberpreises von damals 13-14 auf 20 das Ding zu verdoppeln. Der Kurs heute ist jedoch wie damals bei gut 3 Euro, in Dollar nicht viel besser. Ein erwartetes KGV von 10 in 2009 ist im Minensektor derzeit sehr selten, deshalb ist aus fundamentalen Gründen die Kursentwicklung für mich nicht nachzuvollziehen.

Wer spielt hier welches Spiel? Werden hier hohe Leerverkäufe in der Gegend von 5 Dollar getätigt, um den Titel dann nach unten Richtung 4 zu prügeln? Eine andere Erklärung habe ich hier nicht.

Hier ist für mich nix klar.

Gruß
