Juniors aus Kanada

    Habe mir die Debatte angehört und meine dass John wieder einmal
    eine ausgezeichnete Figur machte, was in Anbetracht seines Main Stream Gegners zu erwarten war.


    Bin mit seinen Picks durchaus einverstanden, jedoch nicht unbedingt mit AQI. IMHO, hat John sich hier für alle Fälle gehegded ohne wirklich hinter die Kulissen zu schauen. IMA hat die Mineralrechte rechtsgültig von NEM erworben, die auch bestätigen, dass nach ihren surveys keinerlei Hinweise noch Informationen re Navidad aufschienen.


    AQI dürfte, wie schon einige Male bevor, einen Blackmail Versuch auf dünnen Eis zu probieren, um abzukassieren, ohne auch nur einen Finger noch Dollar (ausser vielleicht Gerichtskosten) gerührt oder zur Erschliessung ausgegeben zu haben. Gerichtsstand ist übrigens B.C., Canada und wie ich höre scheint es in den nächsten 2-3 Monaten zu einem Urteil zu kommen.


    Sollte dies, wie ich erwarte so ausgehen, dass AQI zwar cash bekommt aber keine weiteren Ansprüche auf das Projekt, so würde ich nur auf IMA setzen. Allerdings ist das kanad. legal system bereits sehr nahe an das der USA angeglichen - das nur als caveat!


    Joe Grosso und sein Team haben sich jedenfalls nicht abhalten lassen die Explorationj weiter mit Volldampf zu betreiben und ich wäre nicht verwundert, wenn sie noch in diesem Jahr mit einer Resource/Reserve von 1/2 Mia. Unzen AG aufwarten können. Ist die Situation einmal bereinigt, wird es schwer sein die Aktien so billig zu erwerben.


    DYODD und Danke

    frr,


    danke für die ausführliche Stellungnahme.


    Werde mich entgegen Embry´s Empfehlung doch einseitig auf IMA positionieren. Falls AQI´s Blackmailversuch im wesentlichen scheitert, dürfte dies auch dem Aktienkurs schaden, so daß das Hedgen über AQI auch einiges kostet.

    Mine wieder in Betrieb und wird in den nächsten Wochen auf 120 Tagestonnen hochgefahren.

    NEW RESOURCE ESTIMATE RECEIVED


    Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. has confirmed that a new resource estimate has been received for the resources that are presently being mined in the company's bulk sampling program on the Bralorne Pioneer mine property. Estimated resources are shown in the following table:



    MINERAL RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

    Zone Inferred Indicated Measured
    mineral mineral mineral
    resource resource resource

    The indicated mineral resource in the 51B FW vein was calculated based on the 43 diamond drill holes the company has completed over the winter and five historic holes. The measured mineral resource in the Peter vein has been drifted on top and bottom with samples taken at 1.8-metre intervals across the exposed vein.


    The 51B FW vein has been intersected by the area 51 crosscut. Initial sampling has returned values of 21.1 grams per tonne gold over 1.5 metres (0.678 ounce per ton gold over five feet), considerably higher than the resource estimate.


    Muck samples from material being mined out of the Upper Peter vein have returned an average of 9.4 g/t gold (0.303 ounce per ton gold) again, higher than the resource estimate.


    The mill has been brought back into operation at 40 tonnes per day and will be ramped up to 120 tonnes per day as feed becomes available from area 51. The necessary development to achieve this rate is estimated to take six weeks to complete.

    Formation Capital Corporation: Idaho Cobalt Project EIS Progress
    Wednesday April 6, 8:59 pm ET


    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - April 6, 2005) - Formation Capital Corporation (TSX:FCO - News; the Company) announced today that on April 4, 2005, it received a letter from the United States Department of Agriculture, Salmon-Challis National Forest (USFS). The letter, addressed to "Interested Party", is from the USFS's Project Coordinator for the Company's 100% owned Idaho Cobalt Project and states that "The (USFS's) preliminary schedule shows the issuance of the Draft EIS in the fourth quarter of 2005, completion of the Final EIS and a FS Record of Decision in March of 2006."


    In addition the letter states that "Based on our ongoing review of technical and baseline data reports recently submitted by FCC (Formation Capital Corporation, U.S.) as supporting documents for the POO (Plan of Operations), some information critical to our effects and mitigation evaluations and for the development of EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) action alternatives remains incomplete. We continue to work with FCC and their contractors to obtain the information necessary to allow finalization of these reports. Work on completing draft text for several chapters of the EIS is underway."


    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the act under which the EIS is written, requires the Forest Service to develop and study alternatives to the proposed action. By its nature NEPA creates an iterative process by which information is developed and exchanged, which leads to more information and exchanges. The Final EIS will reflect the benefits of these iterations to inform agency decision making and help the public understand the Project. The support now being requested by USFS and offered by the Company, the "information critical to our effects and mitigation evaluations" referred to in the above paragraph, does not refer to any specific matter or required document(s), but rather is of this iterative nature, and largely consists of assisting the EIS team in developing water quality predictions based on project alternatives developed in the EIS process.


    In the Company's news release dated December 3, 2004 the Company reported that a meeting had been held to set the schedule for the EIS. It reported that present at the meeting were principals and consultants of the Company, a representative from the USFS, and members of the USFS's EIS team. It also reported that the preliminary schedule set by the USFS and the Company showed the Draft EIS was expected to be completed in April 2005 and a final EIS was expected to be completed by late summer.


    The Company is working with the USFS and the USFS's EIS team to look for ways to expedite the EIS schedule and remains hopeful that a more timely schedule will be met. The Company has been and will continue to be committed to using every effort to provide any information or assistance the USFS or the USFS's EIS team requires.


    The Company is committed to a science backed Plan of Operation for the Idaho Cobalt Project. Formation Capital Corporation is dedicated to the principles of environmentally sound mining and refining practices, and believes that environmental stewardship and mining can co-exist. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol FCO.

    EXCELLON ANNOUNCES THAT PLATOSA RAMP


    HAS REACHED MINERALIZATION



    April 07, 2005



    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



    Toronto, Ontario......Excellon Resources Inc. (TSXV-EXN) is pleased to announce that the Platosa Ramp, on its 100% owned Platosa Property in Durango, Mexico has reached massive sulphide mineralization at approximately 670 metres down-ramp. The mineralization consists of massive galena and sphalerite with minor pyrite and carbonate gangue and lies right at the edge of the “4C Manto” Indicated Resource* as defined in the Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”), independent geological and mining consultants, N.I. 43-101 report of December 10, 2003 (report available at http://www.sedar.com) The 4C is the second largest of the mineralized bodies targeted for initial test mining and contains an Indicated Resource of 19,600 Tonnes grading 1,276 g/T Ag (37 oz/T Ag); 11.1% Pb, and 16.4% Zn. Continuous channel sampling of the present face has been done and assays are pending, but visual comparison indicates that grades will be similar to those for the drillholes that define the 4C Manto. Strong sulphides were also encountered approximately 15 metres up-ramp to the south and are believed to be an offshoot of the 4C developed on a strong NW-SE structure. Some 200 tonnes of development muck generated from cutting through these sulphides was stockpiled for shipment.



    Now that the first of the seven principal bodies defined as Indicated Resources* has been reached, the ramp will continue to depth to develop the 5A Manto, the largest and highest grade body known to date on the property. The 5A Manto contains 24,500 Tonnes grading 3,912 g/T Ag (114 oz/T Ag); 22.3% Pb and 6.5% Zn. The 5A lies approximately 20 metres below the current ramp level and will require some 135 metres of additional ramping to reach. A ventilation raise has also begun which is expected to take approximately 2 weeks to reach surface from the current ramp level. Full scale mining and underground drilling will begin once the raise is completed and appropriate ventilation is established.



    Excellon’s Chairman, Richard Brissenden, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be in mineralization at last, and are additionally pleased to have also encountered significant mineralization well outside the currently defined Indicated Resource, since this will likely add significantly to our tonnage. This is typical of Manto orebodies throughout Mexico and we expect that similar offshoots will be found along the margins of most of our mantos. We plan to continue driving into the heart of the 4C Manto to bring it into full-scale production within the next few weeks.”



    The Platosa exploration program is designed and supervised by Mr. A. D. MacKenzie, P. Eng., and Dr. Peter Megaw, respectively Excellon’s President, and its Consulting Geologist and Exploration Manager of its Mexican subsidiary. Assaying and check-assaying is being performed by ALS-Chemex Laboratories of Vancouver and BSI Inspectorate of Reno, Nevada. Engineering design and supervision of the test mining program has been executed by RPA. Mine development is being done by Puertos y Tuneles S.A. de C.V. of Queretaro, Mexico under the direction of Joy Merz, Platosa Mine Manager.



    *Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not classified as mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.



    Qualified Person and Quality Assurance and Control


    Dr. Peter Megaw, Ph.D., C.P.G., has acted as the Qualified Person as defined in N.I. 43-101, for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical information on which this release is based. Dr. Megaw has a Ph.D. in geology and more than 20 years of relevant experience focused on silver and gold mineralization, and exploration and drilling in Mexico. He is a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG 10227) by the American Institute of Professional Geologists and an Arizona Registered Geologist (ARG 21613). Dr. Megaw is not independent of Excellon as he is a shareholder and his company receives a Finder’s Fee with respect to the Platosa/Saltierra property.

    OT MIning


    Dear Shareholders,



    We are sure you have been following the exciting news from O. T.’s Ruby Property in our January and February press releases. As you will recall, O.T. encountered a “porphyry” (pronounced pour-fur-ree) copper system in our core-drilling program late last year. This copper occurrence and some of the technical terms used in exploration were described to you in the letter we sent last January.


    After completing a detailed examination of the drill core, we have determined that the drill hole (number NA04-6) encountered 1,329 feet of porphyry copper mineralization beneath 587 feet of non-mineralized volcanic rocks (non-mineralized means that they had no copper or other metals in them). This is very exciting for three reasons:


    1) The copper mineralization was “blind” (not exposed at surface) because it is covered by the volcanic rocks. We drilled the hole because our cutting-edge MMI (Mobile Metal Ions) soil samples indicated that the porphyry copper occurred at depth beneath the volcanic rocks. This demonstrates that the MMI technique works and we have a number of other MMI drill targets that have not yet been drilled.


    2) The porphyry appears to be the extension of a previously known geophysical anomaly to the northeast defined by the Anaconda Company in 1968. If so, the overall porphyry system is extremely large with approximate dimensions of 15,000 feet in length and 8,000 feet in width. These dimensions make the porphyry copper mineralization a very large and significant target. O.T. has staked additional claims to acquire mineral rights over this prospective area.


    3) The 1,329 feet of drilled porphyry was sampled continuously, and analyzed for copper and other elements. The porphyry contained “anomalous” (above average) copper throughout, and locally ran as high as 0.49% copper. The 11 samples with the highest copper mineralization were again analyzed using two different methods to check the initial results. We are pleased to report that the quality of the analyses from our laboratory (SGS Minerals Services) in Toronto is excellent. The new results indicate a range of copper of up to 0.49%, and also indicated the presence of up to 0.03% molybdenum. Representative samples were collected for analysis based upon the geologic features in the core, and individual samples had lengths that varied from 0.8 to 5.0 feet long. Some of the copper values would be even higher if samples had been collected over very short intervals. However, taking very short samples would give a misleading measure of the true copper content in the core. In addition to the copper, the holes contained the favorable potassic and phyllic alteration that we described to you in our last letter.



    We now know that the porphyry system appears to be quite large and, in our initial hole, contains anomalous copper throughout its vertical extent. This is not surprising as we have stressed all along that the Ruby Property is close to the giant copper porphyry deposit at nearby Butte, Montana. The drill hole was stopped while still in the mineralized zone in order to comply with Forest Service winter drilling regulations, and it is unknown how much deeper the porphyry system extends. Importantly, the higher copper grades were more common in the deeper depths of the hole. It is O. T.’s intention to re-enter the hole as early in 2005 as possible and continue drilling deeper to determine the total thickness of the copper-bearing zone.


    As a consequence of these positive results, O. T. has been approached by several large international companies who have expressed their interest in the Ruby project. One of these companies stated they were impressed with the quality and quantity of work the O.T. has completed on the Ruby Property and that the porphyry copper discovery could be a very significant zone of mineralization. After careful consideration of all possibilities, your management and technical team have decided to maintain complete control of the Property and push forward with the planned exploration program for the next year. This will add value to the Property by undertaking 18,000 feet of diamond drilling, geological mapping, Mobile Metal Ions geophysical surveys. These efforts will be done over the new porphyry copper target and other targets on the Ruby Mine-Ruby West and Kit Carson portions of the Property.


    Recently, the diligence of O.T.’s two new team members in Montana has resulted in the discovery of data suggesting that the overlying volcanic rocks could host very wide zones of copper mineralization in the newly staked area of the porphyry copper mineralization. The importance of this cannot be underestimated. Additional copper mineralization above the porphyry could indicate that mineralization is much closer to the surface than was originally thought. Currently, there is no way to determine how close the copper mineralization is to the surface in such a large zone without a serious exploration effort. O.T. will undertake its exploration programs with the aim of verifying this new information in the coming months.


    We will continue to keep you up-to-date on any and all exploration developments over the upcoming months.

    Title: SCORPIO'S SURFACE DRILLING ON NUESTRA SENORA DEPOSIT INTERSECTS 22.3 metres GRADING 269.3 g/t Ag, 1.12% Cu, 2.33% Pb and 5.19% Zn
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Vancouver BC, April 8 - Scorpio Mining (TSXV:SPM) is delighted to announce assay results for surface drill holes NSS-14 to 24 from the Company's ongoing resource delineation program on the Nuestra Senora deposit.


    The 2005 Development Plan, as outlined in the Company's news release of March 4, 2005, is continuing on schedule and within budget. Drill results continue to support Management's potential production scenario of blending mineralization from both the Nuestra Senora and the Candelaria deposits. As stated previously, a new bulk sample that combined representative material from both deposits is undergoing metallurgical test work at Rocky Mountain States Laboratories in Tucson, Arizona


    The Company is very pleased and encouraged by the latest results from drill hole NSS-24, which typifies the new bulk-tonnage potential recently identified and being modeled at Nuestra Senora. In particular, a 22.3 metre intersection returned 269.3 g/t (8.66 oz/t) silver, 1.12% copper, 2.33% lead and 5.19% zinc.



    At this time, all zones identified at Nuestra Senora remain open at depth. Multiple intersections of silver-copper-lead-zinc mineralization continue to resemble the numerous horizons that were historically mined by ASARCO. A cross-sectional view illustrating the zones outlined to date at the Nuestra Senora and Candelaria deposits is presented on Scorpio's website at: http://www.scorpiomining.com/s/NuestraSenora.asp.


    Drill hole data from the surface drilling presented herein represent down hole core lengths and actual (uncut) grades. True widths cannot be reliably estimated at this time. Condemnation drill holes NSS-14 to19 and 22 did not intersect any significant mineralization, and the proposed ramp advancement can now been planned for this area.


    A total of 6,543 metres of surface drilling at Nuestra Senora have been completed to date. Underground development work in the Nuestra Senora mine now totals 184 metres of 5.0 m x 3.5 m portal and ramp advance, 12 metres of re-muck bays and 26.4 metres in crosscuts including an underground mechanics shop.


    Investor / Analyst Meetings


    Scorpio's Management team met with analysts and investors in Toronto during March and meetings are planned for Vancouver the week of April 11th and London, England the week of April 18th. At these meetings, Scorpio is presenting the newly developed three-dimensional Nuestra Senora deposit model, designed to help illustrate the promising potential of the project, as well as the narrated video presentation of the project and the underground development. The Company's Annual General Meeting will be held May 18th in Vancouver. Later in May, various Financial Institutions, mining analysts and letter writers will be invited to the Nuestra Senora project for due diligence prior to the anticipated release of an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate.


    Vice President, Exploration & Development, Mr. D. Roger Scammell, PGeo, is the Company's Qualified Person for the Nuestra Senora project. Mr. Scammell is responsible for the current exploration and development program and the preparation of all technical information provided in this release. All technical information for the Nuestra Senora property is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program. Samples are shipped to the ALS Chemex preparation laboratory in Hermosillo, Mexico for drying, crushing and pulverizing. ALS Chemex, Hermosillo then sends the pulps by air-freight to ALS Chemex, Vancouver for assaying. Systematic assaying of standards and blanks are performed for precision and accuracy; check assays are regularly conducted by SGS Lakefield Research. Details of the QA/QC program are available on the Company's website at http://www.scorpiomining.com.

    It can only get better !


    http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050407/75378.html?.v=1


    Apollo CEO and President, R. David Russell commented, "Black Fox is the cornerstone of our effort to become a diversified intermediate gold producer by 2007. Since acquiring the project three years ago, our exploration results have consistently exceeded our expectations and we believe that Black Fox will become a world-class mining operation."


    In response to the unexpected low share price for Apollo stock Mr. Russell stated, "Our operations continue to show improvement with especially encouraging results from the new Standard Mine operation. The heap leach fields are increasing in size allowing more of the ore to be leached and subsequently continue the planned ramp up in gold production. The Montana Tunnels operation also continues to show improvement with improved ore grades and reduced waste tonnage which subsequently increases revenues and lower costs. Our operating mines as well as the Black Fox and Huizopa exploration projects continue to track on the expected targets that have been set by management for 2005. The delivery of gold into the ''straddle position'' with the Standard Bank of London will be completed on schedule, at the end of this month."


    Highlights from the most recent Black Fox gold zone drilling results are shown in the table below. The complete list of assay results for the Black Fox project is available on the Apollo website: http://www.apollogold.com.

    Will this time be different and not portend an imminent HUI rally? I really doubt it. Low volume episodes are common at major interim bottoms in pretty much all secular bulls. It is natural human nature to get the most fed up with trading near major bottoms when nothing exciting seems to be happening so volume dries up right as prices are done correcting and once again ready to thrive.
