Excellon having trouble with the natives at Platosa

EXCELLON CORPORATE UPDATE

Excellon Resources Inc. wishes to update investors with respect to two recent events concerning the company's Platosa test-mine operations.

Excellon Resources Inc. has learned that workers at Penoles Naica mine went on strike on Tuesday in a pay dispute. The company understands that Penoles normally has good relations with its workers and unions, and that strikes at its mines and smelters are not that common. Penoles has said that it will continue to try to reach a pay agreement with the union. The company understands that, for the duration of the strike, the Naica mill, to which the company currently sells the production from its Platosa test mine, will be unable to accept any further shipments from Platosa. The company is of the view that a strike of short duration will not materially affect the company's operations, but that a prolonged strike could have a material adverse effect on its cash flow from operations. If it appears that the strike will be prolonged, the company will take appropriate steps to reduce its operations and thereby conserve its cash resources.

The company also reports that a number of individuals, some of whom are from the neighbouring Ejido La Sierrita, have instituted a peaceful protest that is restricting access to its Platosa test-mine. The company believes this protest is a tactic in connection with the negotiations between the company and La Sierrita with respect to the purchase or lease by the company of certain Ejido lands, and is extremely disappointed that certain members of the Ejido appear to have precipitated this action. While the protesters are permitting a skeleton crew to enter the mine and maintain water pumping, ventilation and other critical activities, general mining operations have been suspended while the protest is in place.

An Ejido is an agricultural co-operative, in which individual members of the Ejido have the right to use and/or cultivate specific portions of the lands owned by the Ejido. Excellon has been an integral part of the local community from the beginning of its operations at Platosa, supporting and initiating a large number of projects at Ejido La Sierrita, and in the nearby town of Bermejillo. The company has been negotiating with La Sierrita in good faith for months with respect to the proposed land acquisition, and has involved local, state and federal governments to ensure the company has complied with all relevant Mexican laws and requirements in its dealings with the Ejido. In late 2007, all parties received the results of a valuation of the property carried out by a recognized Mexican authority. The company has offered La Sierrita far more than that value, so far to no avail. The dealings with the Ejido have been a priority of the company for months and it will continue to work diligently trying to come to an agreement satisfactory to both parties. The company understands that Mexican government officials are hoping to meet with the protesters today or tomorrow with a view to ending the protest in a peaceful manner and returning to negotiations. The company is hopeful that the protest will be lifted shortly, but it is not in a position to determine how long it may last. Although the company is willing to return to negotiations with the Ejido, it will not do so as long as the protesters are in place.

The company will provide updates on the Naica strike and Ejido protest as the matters progress.

Mr. Keith Neumeyer reports

FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER CORP.: ANOTHER RECORD QUARTER OF SILVER PRODUCTION

First Majestic Silver Corp.'s production in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2007, increased again to a record 1,008,299 equivalent ounces of silver, representing a 7-per-cent increase over the prior quarter production and an increase of 76 per cent over the same quarter in the prior year.

The equivalent silver production for the quarter consisted of 868,354 ounces of silver, an increase of 7 per cent over the previous quarter, and 1,107,154 pounds of lead, which represents a 17-per-cent increase over the previous quarter. The large increase in lead production was as a result of improvements to the flotation circuit at the La Parrilla silver mine. Production of gold in the quarter amounted to 490 ounces representing a 12-per-cent increase compared with the prior quarter.

During the quarter, the combined recoveries of silver at the three different mills also showed an increase from 71 per cent to 77 per cent. The overall average silver head grade, in the quarter, also improved for the three mines, increasing by 12 per cent over the previous quarter to 240 grams per tonne of silver over all.

The ore processed during the quarter, at the company's three operating silver mines, the La Parrilla silver mine, the San Martin silver mine and the La Encantada silver mine, amounted to 146,798 tonnes, representing an 11-per-cent decrease and an increase of 56 per cent over the same quarter of 2006.

An aggressive development program continues at all three mines. This activity is continuing for the purpose of opening up additional stopes, grade control, resource development and exploration. A total of 5,346 metres of underground development was completed in the quarter, which for the year 2007 totalled 20,279 m. This compares with 7,719 m developed in the previous calendar year, representing an increase of 163 per cent. This program is important in giving access to new areas within the different mines for preparation of mining, in order to continue the growth of silver production in 2008.

Reserve and resource development remains to be a high priority for the company. Presently, 10 drill rigs are operating on a permanent basis: six rigs at La Parrilla and the Chalchihuites areas, three rigs at San Martin and one rig at La Encantada. Two additional rigs are being added at the San Martin and two additional rigs are arriving shortly at the La Encantada, bringing the total to 14 rigs operating on the company's properties, by the end of the first quarter. Also, in line with the company's aggressive resource development strategy, 9,778 m of diamond drilling was completed during the quarter, covering 43 holes. During the year ended Dec. 31, 2007, a total of 37,176 m of diamond drilling was completed, which compares with 28,283 m drilled in 2006, representing an increase of 31 per cent.

Total production during 2007 reached 3,561,171 ounces of silver equivalent, representing an increase of 176 per cent compared with the previous year's 1,289,234 ounces of silver equivalent. Even though management is pleased with the substantial increase in silver production compared with 2006, production for the year was lower than originally estimated. The higher tonnages feed through the mills at the La Parrilla and La Encantada resulted in a number of failures of old equipment, which thus required replacement or rehabilitation. Also, at the San Martin, maintaining optimal head grade was the primary challenge, which required management to decide to reduce tonnage rates to give the present development program time to prepare areas within the mine.

Keith Neumeyer, president and chief executive officer, stated: "The year 2007 marked a year of consolidation of our three producing operations under the First Majestic umbrella. As can be expected, many challenges were experienced managing the dramatic growth of our business. This substantial achievement resulted in increases in silver production of 176 per cent, year over year, and increases in defined NI 43-101-compliant silver resources of 133 per cent. As a result of the work completed in 2007, and the significant additions to our management team and the many improvements made at each of our three silver mines, we are targeting to reach 5.5 million ounces of silver production for 2008 and continued increases of defined silver resources can also be expected."

In summary, some of the production improvements and advances made during the year include:

At the La Parrilla silver mine:

* The completion of the new 800 tpd cyanidation/flotation mill in May, 2007.
* A new primary and secondary crushing system was acquired in April, 2007.
* CCD thickener added, filtration area upgrades and oxygen injection system was installed (July through November, 2007).
* Construction of the new tailings dam was completed in November, under budget and on time, giving the La Parrilla an additional 10 years of mine life.

At the La Encantada silver mine:

* A new 1,500-kilowatt power plant was acquired and installed, and a complete upgrade of the 2,000-kilowatt power plant was completed (June through October, 2007).
* A new screening plant was added in February, 2007, to take advantage of the above ground stockpiles of ore.

At the San Martin silver mine:

* Construction began in November, 2007, of a 500 tpd flotation circuit, to take advantage of the large sulphide ore resource, present at the San Martin.
* A new discovery is being defined at the Rosarios-Condesa (Cinco Senores) vein system, which is parallel to the main Zuloaga vein, where intersections of high-grade silver ore are occurring.

In 2008, improvements are expected to include the completion of the flotation circuit at the San Martin, the replacement of the secondary crusher at the La Encantada, new filter presses at the La Parrilla, and the expansion of the primary and secondary crushing system at the La Parrilla. In addition, an evaluation is presently under way to expand the La Encantada mill by adding a cyanidation circuit. A final decision on size and timing of this expansion is expected to be announced prior to the end of the first quarter.

In addition to the above, and in line with company's program of underground equipment replacement launched with Sandvik in 2006, a total of 12 pieces of underground equipment was delivered in 2007, which added to the six pieces of equipment delivered in 2006. In 2008, the third year of this program, 20 additional pieces of underground equipment are expected to be delivered. These deliveries will include scooptrams, underground trucks and jumbos, intended to provide for improved and more efficient underground operations.

Habe 6 Titel fest im Blick, davon 4 im Depot.
2 sind heute grün.
Diese habe ich nicht

Ich bekomme langsam Paranoia - Tschonko, mit Bier hab ichs probiert, wikt nur temporär...

Wobei ich es für wahrscheinlich halte, daß die nötige Korrektur beim physischen recht bald beendet sein wird. Die Rahmendaten stimmen. Minen sollten zeitverzögert anspringen.

Aber verdammich, was könnte der Funke sein?

Diese Woche gab es gute Nachrichten, zB von FR, EDR, FVI... Aber die Stimmung am Markt bleibt schlecht, und beim Contest sind inzwischen 87% der Teilnehmer im Minus...

Hat aber lange gedauert, GGC.V gibts schon seit Januar 1981

All die Indikatoren sind schon sehr interessant, die sollten wir regelmäßig diskutieren. - Beim Öl ging es mir eigentlich um die Produktionskosten der Juniors, die meist schneller steigen als POG bzw POS, weshalb der erwartete Hebeleffekt noch ausbleibt.

Hi Tschonko!

Darum ist FR meine mit Abstand größte Position.

Denke es dauert nicht mehr lange, bis die 5 CAD nachhaltig überwunden werden u. dann könnte es wenn Silber mitspielt recht schnell Richtung 10 CAD gehen.

Silberphilharmoniker wär ne feine Sache, dann könnt ich meiner österreichischen Linie auch beim Silber treu bleiben.

Gibt jetzt ausserdem auch in Wien einen Pro Aurum Shop.

Gruß u. schönes Wochenende!

Exmin klingt vielversprechend.
Suche in der Marktschwäche noch nach Schnäppchen.

Das Problem bei Exmin (wie auch bei vielen Silberaktien) ist das Länderrisiko Mexiko. Die meisten guten Silberaktien (die ich so kenne) sind auch dort aktiv (oder in m. E. noch risikoreicheren Teilen Lateinamerikas), dadurch summiert sich das rasch. Gibt natürlich auch noch das Silver Valley in Idaho...

Bei Goldaktien kann man das Länderrisiko leichter streuen.

Gibt es dazu Meinungen?

Gruß, Liberty

Gerade gehts bei den Minen und Explorern ja richtig schön talwärts, ideal zum nachkaufen

Was für ein wunderbarer Tag - mein Depot erstrahlt in sattem grün

Inzwischen entspannt sich die Lage. Der CDNX (S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index) ist auf sein Augusttief gefallen, der HUI natürlich nicht, und mein Depot auch nicht.

Es wird immer wichtiger auf Qualität zu setzen. Deshalb kauf ich auch nicht die Companies nach, die besonders stark gefallen sind, sondern die die ziemlich stabil geblieben sind. Und es wird auch wichtig sein immer wieder Gewinne zu realisieren und immer Cash zu haben, um flexibel zu sein. Wird wohl ziemlich anstrengend, das neue Jahr.
