Juniors aus Kanada

Aurizon mit dem ersten Quartal 05.
Die jammern auch wegen dem starken CAN$.
Die 50% Anteile an der Sleeping giant mine haben sie an Cambior verklopft, bringt 5 Mille.
Ansonsten nicht so gut.
Aber sie können jetzt die San bernardi ins Laufen bringen, die gehört ihnen zu 100%.

Also dann noch ein 3. Artikel zu CZN von Mitte März 05.
Da steht auch Wichtiges.
Dann können wir mal reden drüber.
Die Börse hat jedenfalls die gestrige Meldung nicht so euphorisch gesehen wie der CEO.

CANADIAN ZINC CORPORATION
By Leonard Melman

Mining history can be fascinating and few events have impacted the mining community like the collapse of the price of silver in 1980, when it fell from over $50 per ounce to barely $5.00 in just a few days. Yet, out of that collapse has emerged one of the most interesting of all current mining ventures.

When silver plunged during that fateful period, the Hunt brothers made headlines with their efforts to corner the silver market. Most observers attribute much of silver's price rise to those efforts and it was the subsequent fall in silver's price that played a prominent role in the sudden collapse of their financial empire.

However, the Hunt brothers left behind a most unusual legacy: a mining property located in Canada's Northwest Territories that was explored, developed and brought almost to completion-but one that has never operated.

The property is known as the Prairie Creek Mine and, following the financial demise of the Hunt brothers, the property was placed into receivership in 1982. Prairie Creek then sat dormant until 1992 when San Andreas Resources Corp.-later renamed Canadian Zinc Corporation-purchased the property and resumed development of the mine and surrounding properties.

During the period of San Andreas' subsequent development work, it was determined that zinc, not silver, was truly the mine's primary resource and subsequent studies determined that a profitable mine could be operated as long as zinc was priced at US$0.345 or higher. In fact, as of mid-February 2005, zinc's market price was on the order of US$0.60 per pound.

The most important use of zinc is in the production of galvanized zinc to prevent corrosion, particularly when it is used as a coating for iron-based metallic products. Zinc is also an ingredient in dry batteries and roof cladding. When used as zinc oxide, it is an important component of paints, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and printing inks, while zinc sulphide is used for luminous dials, x-ray and TV screens and florescent lights.

Prairie Creek's geographic situation has been the source of some considerable difficulties through the years for two important reasons.

In the first case, the Prairie Creek mine is located in the southern Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories, in the area to the north of the Nahanni National Park Reserve, and is positioned along Prairie Creek in the watershed of the South Nahanni River. Nahanni National Park Reserve and the South Nahanni River are highly valued as recreational wilderness areas and have been designated as a World Heritage site and a Canadian Heritage River respectively.

Next, the entire area near Prairie Creek is involved in aboriginal land rights issues and negotiations involving Canadian Zinc, nearby aboriginal people-represented primarily by the Nahanni Butte Dene Band of the Deh Cho First Nations-and various federal and NWT regulatory agencies have been ongoing for many years. While the federal government has successfully negotiated land claim settlements with all other aboriginal peoples in the Mackenzie Valley, the Deh Cho claims alone remain unresolved.

Because of the property's situation involving both a particularly beautiful wilderness area and also unresolved aboriginal land disputes, the permitting process for Canadian Zinc has been, as noted in the corporate Due Diligence package, particularly " cumbersome."

Historically, all permits necessary to open the mine had been obtained in the early 1980s under the simpler, more relaxed standards of that era.

However, the company notes that " In 1998, a totally new regulatory management scheme was introduced in this part of Canada." Since that time, in order to obtain all currently required permits, a host of aboriginal and regulatory agencies have become involved in the process, including:

* Nahanni Butte Dene Band of the Deh Cho First Nations
* Department of Fisheries and Oceans
* Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development
* Environment and Conservation, Department of Indian and Northern Affairs
* Environment Canada
* Parks Canada
* Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Northwest Territories Chapter
* South Mackenzie District Office
* Water Resources, INAC.

Not only is the sheer number of agencies and departments somewhat daunting, so also is the variety of rules, regulations and laws which must be understood and followed. A short list of these might include:

* Northern Inland and Waters Act
* Canadian Environmental Assessment Act
* Mackenzie Valley Resource Assessment Management Act of 1998
* Gwich'in and Sahtu Land Claim Settlement Agreements
* Mackenzie Valley Land Use Regulations
* Northwest Territories Waters Act and Regulations
* Federal Real Property Act
* Territorial Lands Act

Despite all obstacles, Canadian Zinc was successful in obtaining permits to perform development work on the property, and this past year expended approximately $1.7 million while drilling 27 holes involving approximately 6,000 meters of drilling during 2004. In addition, an underground development program is planned for Prairie Creek during 2005, which will encompass 8,000 to 10,000 metres of underground drilling targeting both vein and stratabound massive sulphide mineralization.

Whatever else may be said about the Hunt Brothers, one reality is that they planned and financed a first-class operation at Prairie Creek. Canadian Zinc estimates that to replace the mine infrastructure and equipment the Hunts provided would now cost in excess of $100,000,000.

The Hunts also left behind a virtually complete mill with many parts still in operating condition, including ore bins, apron feeders, jaw crusher, cone crusher, screen, dust collection system and conveyors. Canadian Zinc commissioned a complete scoping study, completed in early 2001, which determined that the mine, mill and supporting facilities could be put into operation for a capital expenditure of approximately $22,000,000 if the mine operated for eight months per year using a winter road, or close to double that figure if an all-weather access road was constructed from the mine site to the Liard Highway.

Canadian Zinc estimates that the mine has sufficient reserves to operate for a minimum of 18 years and could provide enormous economic benefits to the area. Initially, a sizable number of jobs would be created for renovation, construction and road-building in order to bring the mine into production.

Once operational, it is estimated that 230 full-time employees would be required with an annual payroll of over $14 million. Using a standard multiplier of 2:1, it is estimated than an additional 460 spin-off jobs would be created throughout the Northwest Territories and the rest of Canada.

In addition, it is estimated that payments to government for corporate, income, employee and royalty taxes would amount to about $15.4 million, and third party contracts for catering, air transport, incoming freight, outgoing concentrate, mill supplies and general consumables would amount to another $20 million per year. And, in accord with the Prairie Creek Development Cooperation Agreement negotiated and signed in 1996, the Nahanni Butte Dene Band would be provided with a 5% equity interest in profits after taxation.

@eldo,
danke für Bralorne. Die order hab ich mal gelöscht.
Hat noch Zeit.

CZN: cumbersome. (nicht so gefährlich, wenn sie schnackseln!
Aber wehe du störst sie, dann geht´s los, das gesumme!)

Ob sie die Straße für den Winterbetrieb kriegen ist zweitrangig. Sie könnten so auch 8 Monate produzieren.
Mein, schlecht ist´s ja nicht.
Die Kosten sind gestiegen, vor allem dürfte die Wassergenehmigung nicht so einfach werden, da schon einige parteien beteiligt sind, was zu Hunt´s Zeiten nicht der Fall war.
Kenne die gesetze in kanada nicht, aber bei uns ist eine Wassergenehmigung nicht so ohne.
Liegt ja in einem Naturschutzgebiet und der Fluß liegt gleich daneben.
(Creek eben).
Zumindest wird es starke Auflagen geben und die kosten wiederum.
Andererseits bringt´s in diese gegend sichere arbeitsplätze.
Müsste man mal in einem US Board od. noch besser in einem kan. Board schauen, was die so sagen.

Nur meine simple Meinung, kann auch anders sein. Versteh auch nicht alles 100% (Englisch) von den 3 Berichten.

Na, ich täusch mich ja gerne in dem Fall.
Die haben das erst heute geschnallt in Kanada mit dem permit.
Die sehen das spitzenmäßig. Schon + 17%.

Bralorne hatte einen Trading halt! hab ich mich da auch getäuscht??
etwas verwirrt
Tschonko

@eldo
Bralorne: Order hätt ich drin lassen können bei 2,3. Hätt ich gezogen.
Aber besser ist abwarten bei so einer meldung.

CFTN: Respekt. Scheint zu gehen.

Tschonko

Shit!
Bralorne schon auf 2,5. Hätt ich doch die Order nicht rausgenommen.
Die Überlegung war ja richtig. Die machen PP zu 2,6 ,
dann warrant zu 3,5 innerhalb 3 Jahre(warrant weiß ich nicht mehr)
Dann ist die auf 2,26. Geh ich rein mit einer Order auf 2,3.
Eine halbe Stunde später bid schon auf 2,7.
Dann Trading halt. Heute hätt ich ausgefasst, wenn ich die Order....

Mich hat dieser text verunsichert:
"Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) announced today that it has suspended milling operations at the Bralorne mine until underground development can provide sufficient mill feed for continuous operation. The mine had previously operated in a bulk sampling capacity, processing material from old workings and the recently developed Peter vein. This program brought the operation on stream and fine tuned the mill. However, work in these areas was unable to deliver enough ore to keep the mine operating continuously. "

Aber jetzt kenn ich mich wieder aus. Auch was.

Grüße von einem Selbstgespräche führenden
Tschonko
Bravo kenn ich nicht.

Bedenkt bei Bralorne folgendes: Die Mühle ist schon für 500 to am Tag vorgesehen, Bau fertig, weitere Investitionen hier nicht nötig. Kap.- erhöhung ist durch und geschlossen. Jetzt sind ca. 7 Mio. Aktien ausstehend, Börsenwert also 17,5 Mio. Can$. und dazu ca. 5 Mio. BARmittel. Die historischen Ressourcen dort sind gigantisch - mehrere Millionen Unzen. Es mangelt nur noch an entsprechend großen Stollen, um das Material rauszuholen. Ich weiß nicht, wie kompliziert es ist, so eine Mühle anzufahren und wieder auszuschalten. Es macht aber Sinn, wenn man die Mühle nicht auslasten kann, für eine Weile abzuschalten und weiter zu "stockpilen". Und bei dieser belanglosen Meldung haben einige das Flattern bekommen. Bedenkt auch, daß Bralorne vor hat, in wenigen Jahren 100.000 oz pro Jahr zu fördern und macht Euch die Relationen klar...

Gogh wollte aus dem Familienalbum mal wieder seine Cousinen Sally und Mathilda zeigen.

Da der Zuspruch ausblieb, grollt er. [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.mainzelahr.de/smile/beleidgit/schmoll3.gif]

Ja Lancelot,
drum bin ich ja sauer, weil ich mich heute um 15.30 selber g´schossn hab mit dem Löschen der Order.

Du hast das bestens dargestellt, könnte frr nicht besser.

@ eldo, klar ich erinnere mich.
Nicht mein Tag, zu viel gelesen, zu viel falsches herausgelesen.

I geh ins Bett.

Tschonko

Hallo Leute,

ich wollte nur kurz einwerfen, daß Bralorne auch in Frankfurt und Berlin gehandelt wird. Umsatz natürlich mehr als dünn. Aber doch überlegenswert, hier zu kaufen, denn auch in Kanada ist der Spread mitunter ein Witz. Aktuell 1,55€ Brief in Frankfurt.
