Silber Companies - Liste und Neues

@emo,
die Minen reagieren gar nicht.

gutso,
danke, was soll´s!. Management play sind die FCO.
Seit 10 Jahren arbeiten sie an der Eröffnung der Cobalt Mine und es scheint zu gelingen.
ECU hat halt schon hohe MC. Schau dir EXM.V od. EXN.V an!

Management Verflechtungen:
siehe Malachite thread.

Und noch ein Beispiel:
Hamelin war maßgeblich beim Aufbau von ECU dabei.
Nun ist er bei UC.V, wo auch im Herbst Bruno Weiss dazukam.
Den hab ich auf der 1. Edelmetallmesse kennengelernt und auch geschrieben, dass eine Company entsteht.
Und die hat sich sehr gut entwickelt, hat auch gute Properties und seit neuestem ein JV mit Goldcorp.
Und Hamelin ist neben Weiss auch wieder dabei!

Premier to acquire "high grade" Mexican opportunity
Monday April 2, 10:00 am ET

Shares Issued: 59,135,492
THUNDER BAY, ON, April 2 /CNW/ - PREMIER GOLD MINES LIMITED (PG:TSX) is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Sutter Gold Mining Inc. (SGMI; SGM.V) to jointly explore the Santa Teresa mineral concession, located in the historic and high grade El Alamo District of Baja California Norte, Mexico. The concession is accessible by road, located 10 kilometres west of Highway 3, some 100 kilometres southeast of Ensenada and about 250 kilometres from San Diego, California, USA.

This proposed joint venture (JV) meshes well with Premier's NW Ontario
assets as:
<<It>>

The Santa Teresa Concession (STC) is located adjacent to and on strike from the past-producing Princessa Mine (the district's largest gold producer), whose orebody was known to extend close to the STC boundary. Data suggests that extensions of the Princessa Mine along strike and at depth have not been tested. The El Alamo District's gold production halted at its peak owing to technological and political circumstances early in the 20th century, thus presenting a unique opportunity to the JV today. The mineralization in the district is characterized by common visible gold hosted within narrow and near-vertical quartz veins associated with felsic intrusives.
Premier's senior management experience in the Red Lake District of NW Ontario coupled with Sutter's experience in the Mother Lode District of California makes this JV team extremely well-suited to exploring the El Alamo District successfully. Stephen McGibbon, Premier's COO and former Goldcorp Inc. Chief Geologist in Red Lake commented that "we envision excellent potential to discover high grade ore bodies in the El Alamo District given its strong history, and insufficient exploration." Further he commented that "while this is an early stage project, it is expected that initial exploration could yield very exciting results."

Premier will earn an initial 50% interest in the project by:
<<Making>>

In addition, Premier has secured the right to earn an additional 15% interest in the JV (for a total interest of 65%) by making a further cash payment of $500,000 to SGMI and conducting an additional US$4.0 million in exploration on the property. SGMI will be the initial operators of the project, however, Premier can take over as operator once it secures a greater than 50% interest in the project.
Ewan Downie emphasized "Premier is fully funded in 2007 to meet its obligations to the Santa Teresa Project as well as its commitments in Red Lake. Our Mexican venture will not impair progress on our flagship Red Lake JV with Goldcorp Inc. and allows the company to pursue a premier high-grade opportunity."

Stephen McGibbon, P.Geo., Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Premier, is the qualified person for the information contained in this press release and is a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.

Premier Gold Mines Limited is a Canadian-based mineral exploration and development company with diverse property holdings that include several projects and deposits in Northwestern Ontario and a joint venture in Mexico. In the Red Lake gold mining camp, two of these are operated in joint venture with Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G - News). A strategic project is also located on the main Musselwhite Gold Mine trend (Goldcorp-Kinross).

Mexico ist nicht nur Sierra madre........

MINING POTENTIAL
Mexico again a prime target for silver miners
Mining on the old Mexican silver belt is seeing something of a revival as North American headquartered mining companies look at bulk mining the lower grade material ignored by many of the old Mexican mine operators.

Author: Lawrence Williams
Posted: Wednesday , 28 Mar 2007

LONDON -

At the MCL 20:20 Silver Day held in London this week it was perhaps significant that of the seven companies making presentations to the audience of brokers, analysts, fund managers, press and fellow miners, four (First Majestic, Arian, Excellon and Scorpio) were focusing almost entirely on Mexico and were already producing silver or had late stage projects in progress, while two others, Hecla and Sterling, were looking to Mexico as a route for expanding silver output additional to their existing North American projects and operations.

Historically Mexico has always been one of the world's top silver producers, primarily from the country's silver belt trending mainly northwest/southeast and centred on the city of Zacatecas in the centre of the country. But much of the mining has been relatively small scale on some of the extremely high grade material which has been found along this silver trend which runs for hundreds of miles. Now with the recent runup in the price of silver, North American companies in particular have been attracted to this area which has the advantage of boasting good local infrastructure, a potential workforce with good mining experience and a relatively stable political environment.

Few of these old mining properties have anything approaching a modern standard resource estimate, but the initial determinations by the companies involved suggest that the amount of silver still in the ground is very substantial indeed - most of it being considered too low grade to mine in the old days, but nowadays with modern mining and processing techniques can be mined extremely profitably, particularly with the sliver price at the current high levels. Indeed many observers view the outlook for silver as being far better than that for gold - and the outlook for the gold price is generally considered extremely bullish.

Some of the resources being exposed by this new generation of Mexican mine operators are quite substantial. With most of the deposits being vein deposits, but surrounded with disseminated mineralisation, some of the tonnage potential for bulk mining operations on surface and underground makes for strong mining cases. Yet there is still good high grade material to be found too - as witness Excellon's 1,546 g/tonne silver (with associated lead and zinc) average grade over the past year and a half of production.

Old mine tailings are also proving an attraction with material grading 200 g/tonne or more not unheard of.

With the precious metal mineralisation being worked nearer the surface, some geologists suggest that grades may decrease at depth, with base metals grades increasing, but others say that the good silver mineralisation continues at depth. This makes for additional potential as the older Mexican mines seldom went deep - indeed some stopped at the water table.

What does seem to be possible in this area is to set up and generate a cash flow rather faster than would be the case in most parts of the world. The area is used to mining activity and there doesn't tend to be some of the local and environmental opposition to new mining operations which might be seen in virgin territory.

One can expect some good, and relatively quick, returns from the miners working the old silver belt particularly if the prognosis for the silver price is as good as many seem to think.

Test-Mining Operations

The quarter ended January 31, 2007 was disappointing from a production point of view. Shipments to the Naica milling facility of Industrias Penoles S.A. de C.V. ("Penoles") were 8,546 tonnes during the period compared with 9,554 tonnes in the quarter ended January 31, 2006, 11,536 tonnes in the quarter ended October 31, 2006, and a target of 15,000 tonnes. Although the operations at Platosa could have maintained the targeted production rates, continuing difficulties experienced at the Naica mine restricted the shipments it could receive. Shipments improved during February and the Company reached the rate of 4,200 tonnes per month in March. This rate is forecast to reach 5,000 tonnes by May.

During the period, development of underground access and mine infrastructure to reach the new mineralization discovered in December 2005 was progressed and initial production from the area was started. With the increase to the mineral resource now available to the test-mining infrastructure that is in place, an evaluation of a mill at Platosa is warranted. Construction of a mill at Platosa will allow production of lead and zinc concentrates and sale to the international markets independent of the current long distance transport of the ore and dependence on the Naica mill operation. It will also allow for better utilization of the mining and crushing capacity now established at Platosa as well as provide a higher return on the metal produced. As part of the evaluation, the planning and permitting process was initiated during the quarter.

The following are the production statistics for the three and six month periods January 31, 2007 and 2006 and the year ended July 31, 2006:

The average grade of contained metal in ore shipped in the quarter ended January 31, 2007 was less than that of the quarter ended October 31, 2006 (silver - 82.1 g/t; lead - 12.9%; zinc - 6.4%). The reduced grade resulted from the development of the access ramp to the new mineralized zone to the north that unexpectedly encountered a breccia zone of mineralization. This zone of lower grade was outside the interpreted mineral resource and resulted in lower than planned grades being shipped to Naica.

Results of Operations

Six months ended January 31, 2007 compared to six months ended January 31, 2006

During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $7,844,647 compared to a net loss of $5,187,980 in 2006. Gross operating income for the period was $17,426,642 compared to $5,689,639 in 2006. Operating income for the period was $8,178,385, compared to a loss of $5,187,980 in 2006. Included in net income is a loss resulting from the valuation of the Company's silver debenture of $2,820,460 (2006 - $4,423,870). Excluding this valuation loss, the Company would have reported net income of $10,665,107 (2006 - net loss of $764,110).

During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Company produced 19,538 tonnes (2006-18,528) of ore and shipped 20,082 tonnes (2006 - 17,917 tonnes) of ore. Revenues during the period were $20,686,888 (2006 - $8,180,186) and cost of production was $3,260,246 (2006 - $2,490,547), resulting in gross operating income from mining operations of $17,426,642 (2006 - $5,689,639). Although the amount of ore shipped during the six months ended January 31, 2007 was only 12% greater than in 2006, revenues were significantly increased due to the substantial increase in metal prices and silver grade. During the six month period ended January 31, 2007, an error in calculating the inventory of ore in the stockpile related to moisture content was discovered and resulted in an increase in the cost of production of $511,292. Existing procedures have been reviewed to ensure a reasonable calculation in the future.

Operating expenses decreased from $10,877,619 in 2006 to $9,248,257 in 2007. The decrease was due to a reduced silver debenture valuation loss of $2,820,460 (2006 - $4,423,870), consulting fees of $159,362 (2006 - $326,320), foreign exchange gain of $402,713 (2006 - loss of $122,859) and amortization of acquisition costs of $363,898 (2006 - $2,489,708). Amortization of acquisition costs was lower due to the impact of the expanded identified Mineral Resource.

The operating expense decrease was partially offset by increased salaries of $494,578 (2006 - $285,799), mine administration costs of $869,471 (2006 - $471,549), travel and business development costs of $507,875 (2006 - $371,395), professional fees of $254,603 (2006 - $140,213), stock-based compensation of $974,000 (2006 - $582,700) and exploration expenditures of $2,562,036 (2006 - $1,087,151). Mine administration costs and professional fees were higher than in 2006 due to increased operations at the mine and the resulting activities required to support these operations. In addition, the Company's exploration program has been significantly increased from 2006 as exploration work continues to focus on locating additional mineralization in the vicinity of the existing test mine as well as exploring other regional targets. Travel and business development expenses were higher in 2007 due to the Company's increased participation in trade and investor relations conferences. Salaries and stock-based compensation were higher in 2007 due to an increase in the number of employees and the issuance of incentive stock options to newly appointed senior management and directors.

During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the provision for current Mexican income taxes is $2,665,992 (2006 - $nil). During the current period, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that $2,128,934 (current portion - $755,346) of previously unrecognized future income tax assets should now be recognized. There is no provision for Canadian income taxes.

Three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to three months ended January 31, 2006

During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $216,396 compared to a net loss of $4,577,785 in 2006. Gross operating income for the period was $6,382,718 compared to $3,558,102 in 2006. Operating income for the period was $324,196, compared to a loss of $4,577,785 in 2006. Included in net income is a loss resulting from the valuation of the Company's silver debenture of $2,248,177 (2006 - $3,695,912). Excluding this valuation loss, the Company would have reported net income of $2,464,573 (2006 - net loss of $881,873).

During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the Company produced 6,240 tonnes (2006 - 9,262) of ore and shipped 8,546 tonnes (2006 - 9,554 tonnes) of ore. Revenues during the period were $8,412,207 (2006 - $4,906,403) and cost of production was $2,029,489 (2006 - $1,348,301), resulting in gross operating income from mining operations of $6,382,718 (2006 - $3,558,102). Although the amount of ore shipped during the three months ended January 31, 2007 was 11% lower than in 2006, revenues were significantly increased due to the substantial increase in metal prices and an increased silver grade. During the quarter ended January 31, 2007, an error in calculating the inventory of ore in the stockpile related to moisture content was discovered and resulted in an increase in the cost of production of $511,292. Existing procedures have been reviewed to ensure a reasonable calculation in the future.

Operating expenses decreased from $8,135,887 in 2006 to $6,058,522 in 2007. The decrease was due to a reduced silver debenture valuation loss of $2,248,177 (2006 - $3,695,912), consulting fees of $89,159 (2006 - $146,320), foreign exchange gain of $323,229 (2006 - loss of $54,221) and amortization of acquisition costs of $65,110 (2006 - $1,939,385). Amortization of acquisition costs was lower due to the impact of the expanded identified Mineral Resource.

The operating expense decrease was partially offset by increased salaries of $354,993 (2006 - $146,977), mine administration costs of $497,669 (2006 - $264,678), travel and business development costs of $215,347 (2006 - $189,019), professional fees of $126,864 (2006 - $54,984), stock-based compensation of $974,000 (2006 - $505,700) and exploration expenditures of $1,409,247 (2006 - $828,147). Mine administration costs and professional fees were higher than in 2006 due to increased operations at the mine and the resulting activities required to support these operations. In addition, the Company's exploration program has been significantly increased from 2006 as exploration work continues to focus on locating additional mineralization in the vicinity of the existing test-mine as well as testing other regional targets. Travel and business development expenses were higher in 2007 due to the Company's increased participation in trade and investor relations conferences. Salaries and stock-based compensation were higher in 2007 due to an increase in the number of employees and the issuance of incentive stock options to newly appointed senior management and directors.

During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the provision for current Mexican income taxes is $2,337,406 (2006 - $nil). During the current period, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that $2,128,934 (current portion - $755,346) of previously unrecognized future income tax assets should now be recognized. There is no provision for Canadian income taxes.

Exploration

Since the press release for the first quarter, which discussed exploration activities to December 15, 2006, a large number of positive drill core assays for 2006 holes in the Platosa test-mine area have been received, diamond drilling has continued with three drill rigs and an airborne electromagnetic survey has been completed.

As reported in a press release dated January 22, 2007, complete assays were received for 13 holes containing massive sulphide and sulphide-rich breccia intersections in the test-mine area, 11 related to the Guadalupe Manto. These results were very positive. Silver grades in the 11 holes range between 139 and 1331 g/t; lead grades range between 2 and 21.4%; and zinc grades range between 0.65 and 19.4% over widths ranging from 0.50 to 7.00 metres. Combining these intersections with previously reported holes extends the high-grade massive sulphide mineralization in the Guadalupe Manto at least 150 metres to the northwest past the limits defined in Excellon's National Instrument 43-101("NI 43-101") compliant Mineral Resource Estimate prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates ("Scott Wilson RPA") of Toronto, Ontario, independent geological and mining consultants, and reported on August 17, 2006. The Guadalupe Manto remains open in several directions. Management believes that, based on these results, additional mineral resources will be added to the Guadalupe Manto and plans to undertake an updated mineral resource estimate later in 2007.

Of the two other holes, LP-325 was drilled in previously untested ground 75 metres northeast of the Guadalupe Manto and cut 5.74 metres of massive sulphides grading 586 g/t silver with 6% lead and 10% zinc. The remaining hole, LP-322, combines with earlier holes to add significant mineralization to a northerly extension of the previously mined N-1 Manto and may link it with the Guadalupe Manto.

Drilling begun in 2006 at the Crestoncitos area 1.5 kilometres south of the Platosa test-mine and the Canon Colorado area 5 km to the north was completed and returned no significant results.

Three drills are operating on the property. One is in the immediate test-mine area on 100% Excellon ground, following up on known mineralization and new soil geochemical targets. The other two are on ground optioned from Exploraciones Altiplano S.A. de C.V. One is operating near the historic Zorra Mine 4 kilometres to the southwest of the test-mine. Alteration in this area is very strong and there are numerous prospect pits that have yielded strong silver-lead-zinc anomalies. The drilling is focusing on intrusion and alteration centres with moderate geochemical signatures. The other is testing areas of alteration and previous modest silver-lead-zinc values in the vicinity of the historic Saltillera Mine, 4 kilometres west of the test-mine and north of Zorra. Encouragement in the form of extensive alteration, structure and modest sulphides has been encountered in several holes and more holes are planned in all three areas. Assays for 2007 drilling are pending.

In mid-February, an Aeroquest Limited AeroTEMII helicopter-borne electromagnetic and magnetic survey was completed over the Platosa property. Very preliminary data processing has been completed and we are confident that the final survey results will be of significant value in geological and structural interpretation and outlining new high potential drill targets.

Dumont confirms no material change in company's operations

12:47 EDT Thursday, April 05, 2007

(DNI : TSX-Ven, DG7 : Frankfurt)

TORONTO, April 5 /CNW/ - Dumont Nickel Inc. (DNI:TSX-Ven, DG7:FSE) confirms, at the request of Market Regulation Services Inc., that the Company's management is unaware of any material change in the Company's operations that would account for the recent market activity.

DUMONT is a mineral exploration company with operations in Ontario, Utah and Nevada, with focus on gold, silver, copper and diamonds. All of DUMONT's properties are being actively explored either directly by DUMONT or via joint venture.

DUMONT is Operator of the Utah Joint Venture which controls approximately 18 square miles of mineral properties across the historic Clifton-Gold Hill gold-silver-copper Mining District. DUMONT has been exploring several properties in the District since 2003 and has currently three active gold projects, two of which are in advanced exploration stages and one is in the early discovery stage.

DUMONT holds one of the most prospective land positions in the Attawapiskat diamond area in the James Bay Lowlands, Ontario, with a carried interest in the Dumont Joint Venture exploring the area through Metalex Ventures Limited and others under the direction of Mr. Charles Fipke.

DUMONT continues to assess other projects and is currently reviewing several opportunities to expand its operations.

DUMONT is currently in the process of concluding a non-brokered private placement financing. Proceeds will be used to commence drill testing its recently discovered Carlin style disseminated sediment hosted gold target at the Rattler Project Area, Utah; for ongoing work toward the scoping study in progress at the Kiewit Gold Zone, Utah; for ongoing exploration over the Utah and Nevada mineral properties; for review of new acquisitions and for working capital purposes.

On the silver stock front, many shares are performing very nicely with some recent standouts such as Sterling Mining of Sunshine Mine fame. Sterling has gotten some recent attention from a newsletter or two and it appears that the progress toward mine startup, the excitement around SNS Silver and the Crescent (now somewhat abated), and the possible acquisition of the nearby Bunker Hill by a mining interest intent on development, have rubbed off on a few old shareholders and new investors. I pointed to the relative value of Sterling versus SNS Silver back in January and I believe there is still some room for Sterling shares to run, but investors do need to be aware of the risks. Among these are a pending lawsuit and disclosure issues which could create bad publicity in short order causing panic among investors and possibly punishing the stock down an elevator shaft. For this reason, I believe Sterling continues to be for speculators only: yes, the rewards are high but so are the risks. Of course, if you view major price weakness as an opportunity to average down, this may be the perfect stock for you. With patience, long term (in my opinion 3+ years) shareholders should be doing very well after some scary intervening moments.

I am going to close today by listing a few companies which may qualify as primary or secondary silver stocks -- not currently on my "official" list -- as a result of recent transactions or discoveries. This list is not an endorsement or in any particular order. I am simply pointing out some stocks moving into silver that you may not have heard about. I hope to write about many of these in the next few weeks and months.
