    JUNE 22 2007 10:15AM - Apparently more trouble brewing with the proposed merger between Coeur and Palmarejo Silver. The recently engaged silver companies announced this morning that they need more time to think the union over. They each had slightly different things to say about the situation (Coeur d'Alene and Bolnisi Extend Due Diligence Period v. Palmarejo Silver and Gold Corporation: Announcement) but the rumor is basically this: Palmarejo's tenement boundaries as shown here may not be so exactly precise. To wit, one might wish to examine this particular map here. I smell a speculation, one that might not even be too late although the shares of the latter company are up 10 cents at the moment (a gain of about 18%). Just in case there is something to these rumors, I'm going to dip my toes in and buy a small position. Sheesh, at this pace I'm not going to have any money left to pay the mortgage!


    Gehört nicht unbedingt hier her:
    Ich hab schon länger so einen Fetzen, nämlich CIG.AX: Öl Gas im Boden am Arsch der Welt. Zischten regelrecht aus Verlustbereich in Gewinnzone bei mir.
    Die haben eine 21% Beteiligung an Perseus PRU.AX, einem Goldexplorer mit einigen Gebieten in Westafrika.


    Da gab es zwar schmale aber hochgradige Resultate.(Elfenbeinküste)

    Scorpio Mining Corporation Makes Production Decision on its 100% Owned Nuestra Senora Project, Sinaloa State, Mexico
    Monday June 25, 8:00 am ET


    TSX:SPM
    VANCOUVER, June 25 /CNW/ - Scorpio Mining Corporation (TSX:SPM - News) is pleased to announce that following review of the positive results from the recently received independent Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") (see news release of June 14, 2007) the Company has been given a mandate by its Board of Directors to proceed into production.


    The PFS projects that the base case cash operating cost of producing silver at the Nuestra Senora project, after accounting for by-product credits, will be a negative US$0.98 per ounce produced using discounted metal prices of US$11.00 per oz. for silver, US$1.25 per lb. for zinc, US$0.50 for lead and US$2.25 for copper.


    Peter J. Hawley, Chairman, CEO comments, "After reviewing the PFS and given the project's strong economics, particularly the current metal price scenario which shows a 60.7% Internal Rate of Return (IRR), along with the upside potential to increase mineral reserves and resources, it is the Company's view that we have to get this project into production as soon as possible to take advantage of the current strong metal prices. With the recent additional staffing of a Mill Superintendent, Mill Construction Manager, Chief Production Geologist and the awarding of mill construction contracts, we are in a position to aggressively push the project forwards towards commencement of production as scheduled for March, 2008. We look forward to providing ongoing updates of our surface exploration results, underground development and exploration work and our progress on the mill facility construction as we approach the start up time line."


    Filing of the final PFS report on SEDAR is expected to be completed before July 4th, 2007. Scorpio Mining Corporation will then provide notice of a conference call to discuss the PFS results and answer any questions.


    Development and Construction Update


    - Construction of the Company's 100% owned, dedicated 34-kilometre power line from the main hydro dam was begun in the second week of March. As of June 18, 2007, 350 of 400 posts have been installed with 17 kilometres of high tension power wire strung. Estimated time line for completion is late August, 2007 which includes the building of an electric sub-station.


    - The 4.3-kilometre Cosala by-pass road has been completed and final cement work on culverts is nearing completion. This private Coowned road is intended to be used for moving oversized mill equipment, trailers, etc. for installation at the mill facility and the transfer of daily metal concentrates to smelters without impacting the town of Cosala with heavy traffic.


    - All mill equipment required for the construction of the processing
    facility is currently located in México at one of the three refurbish/storage yards and shops the Company has in Mazatlan, Cananea and Cosala.


    - The primary ball mill and 800-horsepower motor has been re-furbished and rebuilt at the Cananea shop and expected to be shipped to the Cosala yard by June 25, 2007.


    - The various electric motors, conveyor roller and floatation cells located in the Mazatlan re-furbish yard are nearing completion and expected to be moved to Cosala with the next month.


    - At the Cosala re-furbish yard a repair shop has been constructed, stockpiling of containers containing various pipes, fittings, welding machines, etc. is ongoing, and the primary jaw crusher, main pumps and the Company owned 70-tonne crane have been re-furbished.


    - In the fall of 2006 the Company purchased 118 hectares of land for the building of the mill facility, offices, hospital, ore storage pads, concentrate storage and tailing dam installation and storage of waste by-products. The area has now been stripped and surveyed at 1-metre intervals. Since March 2007 the Company has been excavating the various sites in preparation for construction. To date the mill site has been blasted and is ready for foundations, primary crusher location is in the progress of being blasted, office and building locations have been excavated, and ore stockpiling has been on going for the past 4 weeks. Waste material from the mine is being used as road ballast and fill.


    - The Company has ordered and is expecting immediate delivery of five office trailers, which join to become one unit, with a working space of 230 m(3) to supply temporary accommodations for the base camp, warehouse and office-construction-supervision personnel during the construction of the mill facility.


    - The Company has awarded Telecom of México the communications contract for the mill site facility for the installation of a main communications tower, which is currently in construction and will supply telephone lines, internet connections and video feed for mill site surveillance.


    - The construction of the foundations for the ball mills, crusher buildings and mill floatation facility is scheduled to begin July 15, 2007 with the outside building shells to be completed by September 1, 2007.


    - The Company has engaged CEMEX of Mazatlan to set up a mobile cement plant and provide three cement trucks to supply the 3,000 m(3) of cement required for construction footings and foundations. CEMEX's subcontractor SORIA will supply five trucks per/day for the 2,100 m(3) of crushed gravel and 1,700 m(3) of sand required for the cement.


    - Current ore stockpile inventory consists of 20,000 tonnes at mill site, 5,000 tonnes at the Nuestra Senora portal and 10,000 tonnes within the mine.


    - As outlined in the PFS, the initial commissioning of the mill facility is scheduled from December 2007 to the end of February 2008. From March 1, 2008 until May 2008 the mill throughput is projected to be 500 tonnes/day (TPD) and from June 2008 onwards mill throughput is scheduled to be at 1,000 TPD.


    - The milling facility will have the potential for easily increasing throughput to 2,000 TPD and while operating at 1,000 TPD, mill construction will continue to equip the facility for the designed maximum throughput.


    - At present, during one 10-hour shift the Company is capable of moving 1,536 tonnes of waste/ore from stope development and preparation plus development ore from the underground Hoag Zone to the mill site. This consists of 8 trucks containing 24 tonnes per truck making 8 trips per shift. This supports management's view that the Company can easily haul from underground the initial 1,000 tonnes per day initially projected for mill feed and, with two shifts per day could supply a 2,000 TPD mill facility.


    - The planned initial mining will start from the lower grade Hoag zone where primary and secondary blocks have been outlined. Primary blocks contain 56,000 tonnes and long hole drilling of the blocks from the 9th level to the 10th level (30 metres) will begin in August, 2007 and the first blasting of blocks is slated for October, 2007.


    - The purpose of starting with ore from the lower grade Hoag area is that for the mill commissioning and initial start up period the recoveries will not be optimized, and as such the Company does not want to lose higher grade mineralization to the tailings. Once mill recoveries have been optimized the Company will begin to mine and blend in the higher grade Nuestra Senora mineralization.


    - Currently the Company is mining 2,000 tonnes per month of development ore from the Hoag zone area in preparation for production and will ramp up to full mining in October 2007.


    - As of the end of May 2007 total underground development of the main 4.5 x 5 metre Nuestra Senora ramp stands at 1,469.8 metres (1.4 kilometres) plus 2,662.8 metres of 4 x 4 metre cross-cuts and access points.


    - The Company currently has four underground diamond drills performing in-fill delineation drilling for areas of exploitation as well as exploration drilling.


    - Currently the Company is looking at various commercial smelter alternatives which could improve the net smelter returns received.


    - The PFS estimates Pre-Production Capital Expenditures of US$26.5 million for 2007 and the first quarter of 2008.


    - The Company currently has over $18 million in working capital with no debt. All warrants are in the money and if exercised would bring in an additional $26 million of working capital. The Company is also in discussions with metal brokers with a view to potentially forward selling certain by-product metals and has been approached concerning bridge loan financing. The company does not currently anticipate it will need to undertake additional equity financing to fund the Pre- Production Capital Expenditures


    President, 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 has reviewed the content of this release.

  • Minefinders' Dolores Mine Should Meet Expectations
    Monday June 25, 6:50 am ET
    http://biz.yahoo.com/seekingalpha/070625/39210_id.html?.v=1


    Mike Niehuser submits: We attended Minefinders Corporation Ltd.’s (AMEX: MFN - News) analyst day at the Dolores project February 13, 2007 and found construction of the project well underway with production scheduled for this fall. Following the recent Cambridge House conference in Vancouver we visited the Minefinders headquarters and captured their recent corporate presentation and determined the project continues substantially on track.

    The photographs in the corporate presentation evidence substantial progress compared to those taken during our visit. It appears that the company is rapidly moving toward initiating commissioning of the project leading to its first gold pour in 4Q07 and is scheduled to reach commercial production in early 2Q08. From the time of Minefinders’ CEO Mark Bailey’s initial discovery, it has taken about eleven years to complete exploration and development, and bring the mine to production. As development was suspended for about three years due to low metal prices, the actual time to development is more like seven years. Considering that few discoveries ever become operating mines the company is doing better than most.


    Shareholders may be pleased with the careful advancement at the Dolores project. A more rapid pace would have certainly resulted in greater dilution of shareholder’s interests. At present there are a meager 48.6 million shares outstanding (60.3 million fully diluted). In addition, a comprehensive drill program of more than 630 drill holes totaling 168,000 meters has led to a well defined resource. For this reason, we anticipate that in operation the project may have increased probability of meeting investor expectations relative to more hurried projects.


    Minefinders recently received an updated audited resource estimation resulting in an increase of 23.1% in contained gold and 21.3% in contained silver at 0.4 gpt AuEq cutoff over that used in the bankable Feasibility Study. The new resource should be followed by a reserve update and additional pit optimization. It is important to note that due to space limitations, management intends to leach grades over 0.4 gpt and discard lower grades. Fortunately, by increasing the cutoff from 0.3 g/t to 0.4 g/t, total tonnage mined will decrease approximately 25% from the100 million tonnes of reserves, while total AuEq ounces will decline less than 8.5%, from the 4.5 million ounces contained in the open pit. Mining and processing higher-grade tonnes will produce relatively more ounces per tonne mined and processed, which should be more profitable on a per tonne or per ounce basis.


    The current plan is to start with the 18,000 tonne per day heap leach operation for gold and silver, immediately followed by construction of a mill, which will significantly boost recoveries of both gold silver from the high-grade portion of the deposit. Based on the current heap-leach only Feasibility Study, 85.8 million tonnes could be mined, producing 1.7 million ounces of gold and 63.5 million ounces of silver by leaching over a 14 year mine life. Completion of a mill for processing higher grades is likely, as it would boost recoveries to over 90% for both gold and silver (compared to leaching alone, estimated at 73.9% for gold and 50.3% for silver) and mine life. Management will need to make a decision to construct the mill in the next twelve months if they are to expand production in three years as planned.


    Typically, appreciation stalls during construction, followed by a revaluing of assets upon reaching production. We anticipate several events may occur by the end of the year which may provide an additional catalyst for appreciation of the company’s shares. In addition to their first gold pour, management may make a decision to move forward with the mill and further assess the possibility of an underground operation running concurrently with the open pit. Potentially more significant may be additional information on prospects of Minefinders’ unappreciated pipeline of exploration projects. Any combination of these should lift perceptions of the company from a mine builder to a profitable mine operator with expansion and discovery potential.

    Yale to Purchase the Historic La Verde Grande Cu-Zn-Ag-Au Mine, Sonora State, Mexico
    Monday June 25, 7:13 pm ET


    VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 25, 2007 -- Yale Resources Ltd. (CDNX:YLL.V - News) (Frankfurt:YAB.F - News) is pleased to report that its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary -- Minera Alta Vista S.A. de C.V., has agreed to purchase a 100 % interest in the La Verde Grande copper-zinc-silver-gold Mine located 45 km northwest of Hermosillo, Sonora State, Mexico. Yale has also acquired, by staking, 1,900 hectares of prospective ground surrounding this area to cover additional skarn and porphyry potential.


    The La Verde Grande Cu-Zn-Ag-Au Mine property is made up of six contiguous exploitation concessions that total approximately 300 hectares. The property contains the historic La Verde Grande copper-zinc-silver-gold mine -- which saw limited production in the early 1900s as well as in the 1960s -- as well as the La Verdecita and El Picacho prospects, both of which saw limited production in the early 1900s. The property is within 2 km of a paved highway and the power grid.


    "Exploration potential for the property is significant as the numerous mines, prospects and showings in the area have never been examined as a whole. Each of the various zones have been considered as separate bodies rather than part of a much larger mineralizing system," stated Ian Foreman, P.Geo., president of Yale Resources.


    The La Verde Grande Mine:


    The La Verde Grande Cu-Zn-Ag-Au Mine is the most advanced of the known targets as it has a defined (non NI 43-101) resource of 459,551 tonnes grading 2.29 % copper, 98.54 g/t silver and 0.38 g/t gold (with no estimate for zinc). Note that this resource is historic in nature and was estimated before NI 43-101 came into effect -- it has yet to be verified and therefore should not be relied upon. Calculated in 1989 this resource was based on an average width of 18 metres, average depth of 34 metres and only considered a strike length of 110 metres.


    Historical sampling within the 2,000 feet (~ 610 m) of old workings the La Verde Grande Mine have been reported by the Consejo de Recursos Minerales as: 2.06 % copper, 1.91 % zinc, 33.07 g/t silver and 0.3 g/t gold for the upper workings and 2.54 % copper, 0.76 % zinc, 132.59 g/t silver and 0.3 g/t gold for the lower workings. As the deposit is at surface, the Company anticipates that it could be exploitable by open pit methods.


    The La Verde Grande Mine is on strike with the El Picacho prospect located 900 metres to the northeast. There has been no modern exploration between these two areas.


    The El Picacho and La Verdesita prospects:


    Mineralization at El Picacho is reported to occur in garnetized limestone (similar to the La Verde Mine) beds with one measuring 4.5 metres in thickness. Historical results document exposures averaging 3.0 % copper (with unknown zinc, silver and gold grades) from within a 15 metre wide working.


    La Verdecita is located 1.3 km south of the La Verde Grande Mine and is exposed in four separate workings over a strike length of approximately 300 metres. The mineralization exposed at La Verdecita appears to be a result of selective replacement of the host limestone. Historic estimates of 100,000 tons of hand-selected material grading 3.0 % copper (with unknown zinc, silver and gold grades) have been reported.


    Agreement terms:


    Yale has agreed to pay the landowner US $1.6 million in staged payments over 27 months to purchase 100% of the properties. Upon signing of the contract the Company has paid US $8,000 with the remainder of the first payment (US $92,000) due in three months from signing. A 2% NSR is also payable, which can be bought out for one million US dollars. There is no stock issuable and are no work commitments as part of the purchase.


    Due diligence will involve data examination and compilation as well as surface and underground sampling. Yale has purchased the complete historical database from Scorpio Mining Corp., who held an option on the property between 1999 and 2002 but only performed limited exploration in the immediate area, for 40,000 shares in Yale. These shares will have a four-month hold period.


    Property Geology:


    Mineralization within the La Verde Grande property consists of a series of structurally controlled skarn bodies and veins. Host rocks are a thick sequence of metamorphosed limestones that are locally intruded by granite and monzonite porphyries, dykes, and mineralized aplite dykes. The La Verde Grande area is located near the southern end of a newly recognized copper-molybdenum porphyry district that trends north into the southwest Arizona copper district.


    Ian Foreman, P.Geo, is the Qualified Person, according to National Instrument 43-101, for the La Verde Grande property and is responsible for the technical data mentioned in this news release. During his initial visit Mr. Foreman visited the La Verde mill site, La Verdecita and the La Verde Grande mine. All 'Historic Data' is presented for reference only and should not be relied upon as it pre-dates NI 43-101 and was not collected by NI 43-101 compliant means.

    Scorpio halte ich seit geraumer Zeit und bin derzeit ca. +50%. Kalkuliert wird mit z.B. 11US$ für die Silberunzen in der PFS. Das ist m.E. schon sehr konservativ und lässt einiges an upside Potential erwarten. Ich halte weiter....bei den derzeitigen Preisen könnte man evtl. sogar mit einem Zukauf spekulieren.....auch im Hinblick auf die nun eigentlich zu erwartende Neubewertung vom Explorer hin zum Produzenten.

    An der Qualität von SPM habe ich nie gezweifelt, auch im SPM Sräd erwähnt.


    Hatte eigentlich eher an weiteren Anstieg--nach etwas spätem Einstieg-- gedacht.
    So flog sie leider konsequnt mit SL raus, verhinderte somit --temporären--Verlust.


    Steht natürlich auf der Watchlist, ich weiß nur nicht, wen ich derzeit dafür opfern soll. :)


    Denn aus mehreren Gründen habe ich das Depot --stückzahlmässig-- reduziert.

  • Hallo Tschonko,




    Nicht von Szabo sonder von Don Hansen als es um die 3 Aurelian Nachfolger ging oben im Thread vom 15.07. jedoch nur beiläufig erwähnt.


    Hier nochmal der ganze Absatz:
    "
    Now please don't get me wrong. I am not recommending these companies as investments or as speculations. They are probably too risky for most investors. I am merely pointing out a situation you might want to investigate further, as it is somewhat unique to have 3 explorers with potentially world class gold-copper mines being drilled at the same time. And yes, copper is a base metal and I do expect a correction in base metal prices toward the end of this year. But that still leaves plenty of time to speculate, especially while I wait for a true monster opportunity to show up in the silver-gold arena (if you know of any that I seem to have missed, I wouldn't mind hearing from you. And you can cross Pediment and Garibaldi off your list, I am already on top of those). Besides, these types of deposits can be economic with copper prices under $1/lb., which is a price level I can't foresee copper visiting for a long time, if ever."

    Pediment Exploration Ltd.: New "Los Planes" Gold Zone Prompts 10,000-Metre Expansion Drilling at San Antonio
    Tuesday June 26, 10:37 am ET


    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 26, 2007 -- Pediment Exploration Ltd. (CDNX:PEZ.V - News)(Frankfurt:P5E.F - News) is very pleased to announce that HQ core drilling north of the historic Las Colinas resource, within its San Antonio project in Baja California Sur, has indicated a significant new gold zone that has been named "Los Planes". Based on these results a 10,000-metre reverse circulation (RC) drill program has been approved, and will begin in the first week of July to extend and define Los Planes and test other targets.



    Los Planes


    Los Planes is in pediment covered terrain about 1 km north of Las Colinas. Analysis of recently acquired data from this area indicated several widely spaced RC holes at the end of Echo Bay's testing in 1997 contain significant results. The most prominent (and northerly) of these was SA97-120 that cut separate intersections of 16.5 metres @ 2 g/t gold plus a deeper section of 40.5 metres @ 0.8 g/t gold. Echo Bay hole SA97-111 located 200 metres south of SA97-120 intersected several mineralized sections that included 15 metres @ 1.32 g/t gold; no in-fill testing has been done between holes SA97-120 and 111. The table below includes the mineralized intervals from Echo Bay's hole SA97-120 with Pediment's new core holes LCDD-18, 19, and 20 testing to the north of it. It is important to note that all of these holes ended in mineralization, and that 19 and 20 both ended short of target depth due to ground conditions and equipment problems.

    (i) Echo Bay testing in 1997.


    All of Pediment's core holes were drilled due East at approximate inclinations of -50 degrees. Intersections are believed to be near true width but infill drilling is required to confirm this. LCDD-18 cut about 70 metres of enhanced gold grades in total beginning from 119 metres before ending with 2.6 metres of 2.59 g/t gold.


    To view the cross section please click in the link below: http://www.pedimentexploration…df/SALOS_PLANES_XSECT.pdf


    LCDD 19 is located 100 metres east of LCDD 18 and tests its presumed up-dip extension. Some of the highest grades in this hole are in its deepest portion, and the bottom 5.5 metres returned 2.05 g/t gold. The better results from LCDD 20 that attempted to test on-trend to the north of LCDD 18 also occurred at the bottom of the drill hole in what is projected as the upper portion of the zone intersected in LCDD-18. Most significantly, the entire lengths of both LCDD 19 and 20 are within surface oxidized rock. Because of this deeper weathering profile and the broader extent of mineralization compared to Colinas, follow up testing with the RC drill will initially focus on the potential of Los Planes for gold extractable using low cost heap leach processing.


    A northeast trending regional structural corridor that hosts a separate trend of silver mineralization is projected to intersect the northerly-trending corridor hosting Las Colinas and Los Planes somewhere to the north of LCDD 20. This area is a prime target for enhanced deposit creation, and will be tested during an upcoming program.


    Commenting on the new results, VP Exploration Mel Herdrick noted "Los Planes has all the hallmarks of a significant zone that to date has generated drill intersections which are broader and of better quality then those at the historical Las Colinas resource. I'm particularly excited to see what happens in this trend as our drill testing approaches the major structural junction to the north. This area has always been a high priority target for us and was the main reason Pediment added the 36,000-hectare Trini concession to surround our existing property. Los Planes is only the first of several new targets at San Antonio that we hope will indicate San Antonio contains significant potential for low cost gold extraction".


    Pediment's exploration programs are performed under the supervision of Vice President Exploration Mel Herdrick, M.Sc, and Washington State registered professional geologist who is the qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 for this new release. The San Antonio project is managed by Pedro Teran, M.Sc., consulting geologist, who maintains the QA/QC program, including regular insertion of blank and standard assay verification samples. Drill cores were cut in half using a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags, and delivered to ALS-Chemex in Hermosillo for preparation and shipment to its facility in North Vancouver for analysis. Mr. Herdrick reviewed and approved the information contained in this release.


    Pediment Exploration is a well-financed, aggressive exploration company with a main focus on precious metals exploration in western Mexico. Pediment has expanded its pool of technical staff and consultants, and is actively exploring a series of projects in Baja California Sur and Sonora States.

  • Near Term Production May Help Realize Yale Resources’ Long Term Goals
    By Mary Steiner


    For many junior resource companies the idea of advancing an exploration project to production is merely a dream. The cost of development—infrastructure, labor, material transportation, equipment, a processing mill, etc.—can easily reach into the tens of millions for the smallest of mining operations. It is at this stage that most juniors either begin courting a larger partner for take-over, or considering debt financing options.


    But, for Yale Resources [TSXV: YLL], what’s ostensibly a fantasy for most seems a not too far distant reality. Yale’s Zacatecas Venture silver project, under option from Impact Silver Corp., lies in Mexico’s Zacatecas mining district, a region with a rich silver production history dating back to the Spanish Colonial era with past production estimated at 1.2 billion ounces. This same district is also home to Penole’s Fresnillo mine, ranked as the world's second largest primary silver mine in 2005.


    Earlier this month, Yale released the results from its phase one drill program. Much of the results confirmed Yale’s expectations of an average 200-300 grams per tonne silver; however, to the surprise of everyone, including President Ian Foreman, one hole on the Mina San Jose property showed an intercept of 1,340 grams per tonne over 0.80 metre.


    During the exploration stage, a junior company’s share price is naturally affected by news releases, particularly those pertaining to drill results. Although the 1,340 g/t silver intercept gave many at Yale something to smile about, “it's obvious that the market wasn't happy,” said Foreman. He admits the intersections were narrower than expected and the market’s reaction to the news placed downward pressure on the stock.


    Nevertheless, Foreman remains optimistic: “You’re looking at a vein system that is 400 meters long and you're drilling with something that is 2.5 inches in diameter. At times, you have to be very lucky when it comes to a drill program. We all know that the distribution of minerals through vein systems is very irregular; so for us to be able to get a high grade intersect is tremendously encouraging. It means that we could do it again.”


    Yale’s involvement with the Zacatecas project began last October when the company signed a letter agreement with Impact Silver Corp. [IPT- TSX-V]. The terms of the agreement require Yale to reimburse Impact the property purchase cost and perform a minimum of US$ 100,000 exploration work within 18 months in order to earn a 65% interest in the venture.


    In just eight months, Yale has fulfilled most of the terms of the agreement. “I think the key thing now is that we've been able to advance the property really quickly,” said Foreman. Once the drill programs are complete, Yale will have earned its 65% interest in the property. “So that means then we're not going to be diluting shares through optioning and paying 100% of the costs to earn in. We'll actually be partners paying 65% of the cost and Impact—35%. And that's a really significant thing.“ He added, “Not a lot of companies get to the point where they're actually earning in their percentage; so, for us to have done that within 8 months is a real feather in our cap.”


    Drilling on the San Sabino property has yet to commence. “The trench results are trickling in,” said Foreman, “It’s the only one [of the properties] that we didn’t drill because we’re looking at expanding our interest in the area. We were awaiting [trenching] results, and we just wanted to look at more information before we spent money on a drill program.”
    The results from the San Sabino trenching program will soon be released. The management of Yale is planning further work in the fall, particularly on the Mina San Jose property. Phase one drilling of San Sabino is expected to be completed then, as well.
    By partnering with Impact, Yale has aligned themselves with a respected silver producing junior company whose portfolio of advanced silver projects in Mexico includes two currently producing mines and a 500 tpd processing plant at Royal Mines in the Zacualpan Silver District. Yale chose Impact as a venture partner “along the same lines that someone would pick a company to invest in: we like their management, we like their projects, we like their ability to manage well-run programs,” said Foreman.


    The fact that Impact has an option to purchase the nearby Veta Grande Mill is the icing on the cake. If further exploration work proves fruitful, the two companies are considering processing ore from the many tailings dumps on their properties at the Veta Grande. All four of the Zacatecas Venture properties are within ten kilomtres of the mill, greatly reducing the expenses involved in transporting ore.


    However, the close proximity of the mill is not the only cost beneficial feature of the Zacatecas project. Each of the four properties Yale has optioned contains old workings, including a series of adits, left over from the days of the Spanish colonialists. Beside each of these adits are fortuitously located dumps with mineralization that Yale’s management assumes was uneconomical to the Spanish. “So we've gone in and sampled a lot of those dumps,” said Foreman, “and the average grades came back 200-300 g/t silver, which a lot of companies promote as being economical underground – and this is sitting on the surface!”


    Unlike most other production-minded juniors, Yale will have no need for debt financing to move the project into the development and production stages. According to Foreman, “there’s no reason for us to go to the market to pay to go into production. Literally, we're talking about getting a small contractor with a couple of dump trucks and a backhoe to dig this [the dump mineralization] at the surface of the earth and put it in a dump truck and truck it to the mill. So, we don’t need to raise funds at all to put these materials through the mill.”


    Foreman believes the upside for investors is that Yale would be able to generate revenue without diluting its stock. “This is money the investors don't have to give us for further projects, or on this project. That’s a huge advantage.”

    Yale Resources Board of Directors has Industry Great
    By Greg Nelson
    June 25, 2007


    How does the presence of a player like Wayne Gretzky affect a hockey team? Sure he helps it win games, but what else? Because of his prowess on the rink, ticket sales go up. He brings a certain amount of prestige and notoriety to the team and the home city. He attracts skilled players who want to play with him and learn from the very best the league has to offer.


    It’s no different in mining, especially in the current superbull. Stars are made. Fortunes are made. Everyone wants to work with the stars because they have proven time and time again that they can deliver beyond what anyone expects. Yale Resources (TSX.V:YLL), a silver/gold/copper junior exploration company with three properties in Mexico is lucky enough to have on its board of directors, one of the greats in the Canadian mining industry, Richard Hughes.


    Mr Hughes is revered primarily because he was instrumental in discovering the gold deposit at Hemlo, Ontario in the 1980’s. Hughes started two exploration companies, Golden Sceptre and Goliath Gold, disovered the deposit and secured rights to a large land package in the Hemlo area. Stock prices for both companies, which began in the $0.20 range, ran up to $94.00 and $96.00 respectively at the top of the market. Subsequent to the discovery, both companies were acquired by Noranda, which built the Golden Giant mine and operated it under the flag of Hemlo Gold Mines. The mine had a 21-year life and mined in excess of 6 million ounces of gold. The average gold grade was 10 g/t gold. Production peaked in the early 1990’s with approximately 500,000 ounces of gold per year. It was a massive deposit which made many people – not least of all Mr. Hughes himself – very wealthy.


    Mr. Hughes was also pivotal in the Balmoral discovery in Quebec approximately 30 years ago, which led to the creation of the Balmoral Mine, a mine that produced for about 13 years. Stock prices began at $0.10 and ran up to $40.00 before lower gold prices coincided with Balmoral running out of economic grade ore.


    The Sleeping Giant mine north of Amos, Quebec, another notch in Hughes’ exploration belt, has been in production for 15 years. Those stocks were Perron Gold, which started at $0.12 and hit a high of $7.00 and Dorville started at about $0.20 and went up to $13.


    If Mr. Hughes had the golden touch then, he doesn’t seem to have lost it. He is President and owner of Hastings Management Corp. and oversees the activities of several junior exploration companies. Many of them are doing well at the moment, partly, many think, because the Hughes name is attached. Investors have begun following whatever Richard Hughes is involved in.


    Recently, Hughes’ Golden Chalice Resources (TSX.V:GCR) exploration team put a drill hole in the ground at its Langmuir property south of Timmins Ontario and intersected 1.14% nickel over 72.50 meters, including two high grade zones of 2.23% nickel, 0.22% copper and 0.20g/t platinum over 17.50m; and 1.74% nickel, 0.12% copper and 0.20g/t platinum over 13.10m. The results, reported on May 16 caused GCR stock to skyrocket from below $0.30 to a high of $4.05 over the following weeks, before settling back down around the $3.00 mark. Since the initial results, Golden Chalice drilled a second hole and encountered similar mineralization.


    What was “Langmuir” before is now “the Langmuir Discovery.” In an interview with, Stanley Hunt, who after 25 years in the industry could barely contain his excitement about Langmuir’s potential, Hughes himself said “we have something that looks quite significant… this has the smell of something big about it…There’s blebs of massive sulphides within the disseminated nickel right through the rock. These little blebs would indicate to us that there’s probably a massive sulphide source somewhere either to one side or most likely at depth, which would be more like a Voisey’s Bay or a perhaps Norilsk deposit, the largest deposit in the world, which is located in Russia.”


    Wouldn’t it have been nice to be in on the ground floor on that one? In an interview with CEOCFO Interviews and News, Hughes said, “We look for something big. There are lots of little mineralized narrow veins, but the odds of finding a mine are one chance in a thousand from a prospect. However, our odds are one chance in thirty-five. We beat the odds considerably.”


    So how does it bode for Yale Resources have Hughes on the team? It’s a boon: Because of his track record of creating value and discovering mines, no doubt, he helps win games. But what else? He attracts talent. He has connections. Money seems to follow him like a lost dog that won’t go home. And investors want a piece of whatever he does. As Yale Resource President Ian Foreman said in an interview about his stellar board of directors, “In this industry successful people will continue to be successful and good management will create a successful company. The question will just be then, How long does it take for that company to be successful? ”


    Even if success takes a while, Yale gives us reason to be hopeful. Reporting on June 11, Yale announced that the recent phase I drill program on its Zacatecas project returned a highlight intercept of 1,340 g/t silver over 0.80m. Keeping in mind that Yale shares outstanding are 19,609,223 and the stock is trading in and around the $0.30 mark, Yale still offers plenty of upside potential.

    Dazu mike:


    The acquisition of La Verde Grande also offers the potential for near term production, as there is a historic high grade resource located near surface that could be mined cheaply and trucked to nearby Hermisillo for contract milling. That would generate revenue and build data that could be used to design a permanent mill on site.


    Sonora is becoming a hotspot for exploration and development, to rival nearby Chihuahua as an attractive jurisdiction for Canadian listed juniors. There are several very encouraging projects being advanced in Sonora right now, with companies like VGM.T, CBI.V, CLZ.V and others leading the charge. It is good to see that YLL has taken on a high potential project in the area, adding another asset that could become a flagship development prospect once they get exploration work going.


    I am not at all discouraged by the weakness of the market response. The entire sector has been flat-lining for months and I still consider it all a temporary phase that is part of an overall long term cyclical bull market. Some may choose to move to the sidelines during this sort of thing, but I have been aggressively buying Mexico juniors and do not mind waiting it out. I am trading time to buy cheaply and I think that is a good strategy for a long term investor.


    cheers!
