Silber Companies - Liste und Neues

Hi Eldo,
also Carpathian ist sicher kein schwindel.
Nur was die so machen gefällt mir weniger.
Die haben vor, 2 produzierende Minen in Brazil zu kaufen, aber so was von teuer.....
CPN hat auch schon einiges an oz. nachgewiesen, mehr als ein halbe Mille, weiß nicht mehr genau.

Durch gabriel wurden sie auch mit verzögert und es hätte so schon noch minimum 3 jahre gebraucht um zu einer Mine zu kommen.
Dafür open pit und ganz billige produktionskosten.
Ich hab die reichlich und halt die weiter........

Aber ein Verkauf ist genau so sinnvoll
um z.B. eine AMC, MTO oder peak gold zu kaufen od. aufzustocken.

Gabriel ist vorerst wirklich verhindert, die würd ich anbringen, wenn ich sie hätte, weil ja wieder gestiegen.
Aber sogar da kann unter Umständen nach den wahlen??? (glaub, die wählen heuer??) möglicherweise noch was werden.

Rumänien hat eine sehr starke Minentradition.........

Und weißt eh, alles ohne Schießprügel (Gewähr!)........

Der Witz ist übrigens saugut......

Was für ein elediges Hin- und Hergeschiebe zur zeit.......

Nach genco am Freitag heute EDR und GPR stärker.
Dürfte so ein trend werden, dass es immer wieder ein paar zieht.

Und UNO wird heut wieder abverkauft nach der wirklich guten news vom freitag.

Aber da sind einige so verunsichert, dass sie nicht mehr glauben, was sie soeben noch gelesen und für gut befunden haben.........

Grüße

Excellon Reports End to Naica Strike, Provides Update on Negotiations With Ejido
Monday February 11, 5:00 pm ET

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 11, 2008) - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN - News) has been advised that the employee strike at the Penoles Naica Mine is now over. Excellon's shipments to the Naica mill are anticipated to resume by the end of this week. Excellon's four drill rigs have been turning for the last few weeks. The Company has assigned three of them to expanding the known limits of mineralization, while using the other one to pursue district-scale targets.

Excellon also announces that it has reached a tentative agreement with the Ejido La Sierrita in negotiations for a long term legal, binding and enforceable agreement for the use of certain lands to conduct its mining activities. Under the tentative agreement, Excellon has, amongst other things, agreed to lease 1100 hectares of surface rights for up to 30 years for MX $5,000 pesos per hectare per year, as long as the lease agreement continues in existence. Further, Excellon has agreed to fund a community development fund with an initial payment of MX $3,000,000 pesos and MX $500,000 pesos per year thereafter up to 30 years, again, as long as the lease agreement continues in existence. Finally, Excellon will issue 600,000 common shares to the Ejido La Sierrita, which will have a hold period of four months. As part of this agreement, the Ejido will transfer ownership to Excellon of the 27 hectares on which it currently conducts its mining activities. This agreement is subject to approval by the Board of Directors of Excellon, the formal approval process of the Ejido La Sierrita (which usually takes approximately three weeks), and acceptance for filing by the TSX. A letter proposal by Excellon to the Ejido La Sierrita with all the foregoing terms and conditions reached by the parties is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday, February 13, 2008.

"We are pleased with the results of our negotiations with the Ejido La Sierrita," said Richard W. Brissenden, Excellon's President and CEO. "While this agreement still needs to be approved by several parties, we believe it honours our commitment to the community, while protecting shareholder value. Although we have lost almost five weeks of shipping ore due primarily to the labour dispute at Naica's operations, we will endeavour to make up for this shortfall during the coming months. However, Excellon's fundamentals continue to be strong, and we remain on track for meeting all of our other corporate objectives for fiscal 2008."

About Excellon

Excellon, a self-sustaining mineral resource company operating in Durango State, Mexico, is committed to building value through production, expansion and discovery. The Company is producing silver, lead and zinc from high grade manto deposits on its Platosa Property, strategically located in the middle of the Mexican silver belt. In fiscal 2008, Excellon's focus is on increasing its Mineral Resources through an aggressive $11-million exploration program, expanding its operation, and studying the feasibility of building a mill at site. The Platosa Property, not fully explored, has several geological indicators of a large mineralized system, the tracking of which Excellon believes will lead to the discovery of a world class deposit.

Hallo Lucky,

Hecla Acquires 70.3% of Greens Creek Mine for $750 Million
Tuesday February 12, 7:51 am ET

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL - News) today announced an agreement with Kennecott, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto, to acquire the companies owning 70.3% of the Greens Creek mine near Juneau, Alaska.

Highlights

* Hecla will control 100% of the world’s fifth largest silver mine
* Almost doubles Hecla’s annual silver production to approximately 11 million ounces
* Increases silver reserves by about 150% and gold reserves by about 140%
* Greens Creek is among the lowest cash cost silver mines in North America
* Accretive on major metrics

Hecla President and Chief Executive Officer, Phillips S. Baker, Jr., said, “We are extremely excited about acquiring the rest of Greens Creek, giving us a tremendous world-class silver asset. We know the operation intimately and believe the operational risks are low. The cash cost per ounce of silver produced at Greens Creek, including by-product credits, is among the lowest in North America. Greens Creek has a strong track record of environmental and safety performance, a long mine life, and an excellent cadre of talented people. And it nearly doubles our silver production while improving our position as the lowest-cost silver producer.”

Baker continued, “The Greens Creek mine has continuously replaced reserves and has excellent exploration potential, not only within the current mining area, but perhaps even more importantly, has the potential for discovery within the highly-prospective 12-square-mile land position in this great mining district.”

Pursuant to the acquisition, Hecla will purchase all of the equity of the Rio Tinto subsidiaries that hold the 70.3% interest in the Greens Creek mine. The $750 million purchase price is comprised of $700 million in cash and $50 million in Hecla common stock. Hecla has received $400 million in committed debt financing from Scotia Capital, which together with available cash will be used to fund the acquisition. Closing is expected to occur in the second quarter and is subject to customary conditions, including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

In 2007, on a 100% basis, Greens Creek produced approximately 8.6 million ounces of silver, 68,000 ounces of gold, 63,000 tons of zinc and 21,000 tons of lead. Because the by-product metals more than pay for the silver production, the total average cash cost of silver was negative $5.27 per ounce. Even at metals prices significantly lower than they are today, Hecla estimates a 10-year average cash cost of $1.88 per ounce of silver at Greens Creek.

Baker said, “Hecla has 117 years of experience as a precious metals mining company, with a particular expertise in underground mining. We have worked closely with the management of Greens Creek for more than two decades. Rest assured that we fully intend to uphold the strong tradition and great reputation of the Greens Creek mine and its people as we become more involved in the operation and the community of Juneau. Because of our long participation in the joint venture, we anticipate a smooth transition.”

Scotia Capital acted as a financial advisor to Hecla on the transaction. Hecla’s management will conduct a web cast conference call to discuss the Greens Creek transaction and its benefits and impacts on Hecla Mining Company on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, at 3 p.m. Eastern time. The web cast can be heard at http://www.hecla-mining.com, in the Investor Relations segment of the website. The call will be archived for a period of time for re-play purposes.

Hecla Mining Company, headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, mines, processes and explores for silver and gold in the United States, Venezuela and Mexico. A 117-year-old company, Hecla has long been well known in the mining world and financial markets as a quality producer of silver and gold. Hecla's common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol HL.

Genco hat nun schon die Mill gekauft:
Genco Purchases 3,000 Tonne Per Day Ball Mill in Anticipation of Expansion
Tuesday February 12, 1:31 pm ET

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 12, 2008) - Genco Resources Ltd. (TSX:GGC - News) is pleased to announce it has purchased a 3,000 tonne per day ball mill that will be incorporated into Genco's production expansion initiative at La Guitarra mine complex located in the Temascaltepec Silver/Gold Mining District in Mexico State, Mexico. The purchase price for the mill was US$1.65 million.

Genco's President Gregory K. Liller states, "Since our initiation of a full feasibility study, Kappes Cassiday & Associates have been actively sourcing key equipment and components whose availability or delivery lead time could delay the planned expansion of mining, milling and production at La Guitarra. Current quoted delivery times for a new ball mill are 1 1/2 - 3 years or more depending on the vendor. The mill purchase correlates closely with Genco's objective to fast track production expansion at La Guitarra, and to take advantage of current silver prices. The proactive purchase of this ball mill will keep Genco on track to achieve its objective of significantly increasing production by the end of 2009. We will continue to work proactively to identify, assess and address potential bottle-necks in achieving our goals. Any delay or hesitancy in achieving our production goal, is unacceptable to Genco's staff, management and directors."

Genco is a primary silver producer in Mexico, whose core assets are multiple mining sites, including La Guitarra Mine, located in its wholly-owned Temascaltepec Mining District of central Mexico. It has engaged Kappes Cassiday & Associates as the lead consulting firm to complete a feasibility study on a mine and plant expansion at La Guitarra. The feasibility study is being fast tracked and focusing on a combination of conventional milling and heap leach processing with silver and gold recovery from a central facility.

Gryphon Gold Announces Planned Merger With American Bonanza
Tuesday February 12, 4:00 pm ET

VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 12, 2008 -- Gryphon Gold Corporation (Toronto:GGN.TO - News) (OTC BB:GYPH.OB - News) ("Gryphon Gold") and American Bonanza Gold Corp. (Toronto:BZA.TO - News) (Frankfurt:AB2.F - News) ("American Bonanza") have signed a Letter of Intent to merge American Bonanza into a wholly owned subsidiary of Gryphon Gold through a Plan of Arrangement. Shareholders of American Bonanza will receive 0.50 shares of Gryphon Gold for every share of American Bonanza and options and warrants will be exchanged on the same ratio.

The merger is part of an overall business strategy to increase gold resources through acquisition, exploration and joint ventures in politically stable jurisdictions with long histories of gold mining.

Both Companies believe that this merger will:

-- Provide a pipeline of projects at various stages of development.

-- Result in greater market interest through being a larger company.

-- Result in administrative cost savings.

-- Bring together two near-term production properties;

Gryphon Gold's Borealis property in Nevada has potential for development of:

-- An oxide gold heap leach mine that is already permitted.
-- A near-term, underground high-grade gold mine at the Graben deposit or a
longer-term option of a large open pit.
-- Significant exploration prospects with gold mineralization potential.

American Bonanza's Copperstone property in Arizona has potential for:

-- Near-term, oxide, high-grade, underground mine production with short
permitting and construction timelines,
-- Significant expansion of the Copperstone gold resources based on two
exciting new gold discoveries with million ounce mineralization
potential

Gryphon Gold brings positive exposure to the benefits of gold exploration and resource expansion with nominal cash expenditures through exploration at over 50 properties -- primarily through joint venture and leasing agreements. This property portfolio and strategy is expected to allow the combined company to focus on the development of the Borealis and Copperstone properties.

American Bonanza's Joint Venture with Agnico-Eagle on the Northway and Vezza deposits offers potential for a third gold mining project. Other American Bonanza projects in Ontario and Quebec offer significant potential to develop additional resources. The Fenelon property lies in Quebec's Casa Berardi gold district and drilling has identified two large nickel rich zones. American Bonanza continues to advance other exploration projects, including the La Martinière gold project in Quebec.

American Bonanza has sold the Taurus property in northern British Columbia to Hawthorne Gold Corporation. Under that agreement, American Bonanza is expected to receive further payments of Cdn$5 million by December 22, 2009. An additional Cdn$3 million is due to American Bonanza upon the completion of a feasibility study or the commencement of production.

The current cash reserves of the combined company amounts to approximately Cdn$9 million. Future cash receipts from the sale of the Taurus property is expected to total Cdn$5 to Cdn$8 million. Outstanding Quebec mining tax credits due to American Bonanza total up to Cdn$2 million and will be to the credit of the merged entity. Therefore, current cash on hand plus expected receipts totals Cdn$16 to Cdn$19 million. The combined financial strength of the Companies is expected to allow significant development at the Borealis and Copperstone projects.

The board and management structure of the combined Company is expected to be as follows: Tony Ker, Richard Hughes, Rohan Hazelton, Don Gentry (of Gryphon Gold), and Brian Kirwin and Giulio Bonifacio (of American Bonanza) will serve as directors of the merged company. Tony Ker will serve as Chief Executive Officer and Michael Longinotti will serve as Chief Financial Officer of the combined company.

Tony Ker, CEO of Gryphon Gold, states, "I believe that this merger will strengthen the Company's resource, management and financial base. The merger is expected to enable the Company to further its business strategy of developing and acquiring more gold resources in politically stable jurisdictions that have either great exploration potential or near-term production potential. I look forward to working with Brian and Giulio in growing the company."

Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the companies agreed, among other things, to negotiate definitive agreements in good faith. The merger is subject to approval of the British Columbia court, approval by American Bonanza's shareholders, TSX approval, final approval by the boards of directors of American Bonanza and Gryphon Gold, American Bonanza receiving an opinion on the fairness of the merger, and other customary closing conditions.

The Companies have agreed to pay break-up fees in the following circumstances:

(1) Either Company shall pay the other the sum of US$150,000 in cash, plus an amount equal to all of the reasonable documented expenses incurred by the other in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger (not to exceed US$50,000), if either the letter of intent or the arrangement agreement is terminated by the other Company due to certain actions set forth in the letter of intent.

(2) American Bonanza shall pay Gryphon Gold the sum of US$900,000 in cash, plus an amount equal to all of the reasonable, documented expenses incurred by Gryphon in connection with the transactions contemplated by the letter of intent in an amount (not to exceed US$50,000), if the board of directors of American Bonanza, among other things, determines not to recommend the merger with Gryphon Gold to the shareholders of American Bonanza and does not consummate the merger with Gryphon Gold.

Conference call details:

A conference call is scheduled for February 14, 2008, and will be hosted by Gryphon Gold Chief Executive Officer Mr. Tony Ker and American Bonanza Chief Executive Officer Mr. Brian Kirwin. An invitation is extended to all interested investors, analysts or media representatives to attend.

From Drilling to Production: Wall Street Reporter Spotlights MacMillan Gold Corp., Gryphon Gold Corp., and Nevsun Resources Ltd.
Wednesday February 13, 12:31 pm ET

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Wall Street Reporter recently talked to the CEOs of three gold companies at all stages of their corporate evolution: MacMillan Gold Corp. (CDNX:MMG.V - News), Gryphon Gold Corp. (Toronto:GGN.TO - News), and Nevsun Resources Ltd. (Toronto:NSU.TO - News).

Investors can watch or download all three video interviews, along with a rich library of additional exclusive content recorded at the 2008 Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, at http://www.WallStreetReporter.com.

After previous exploration success, George Brown is back in Mexico as CEO of MacMillan Gold Corp. (CDNX:MMG.V - News). ``I liked Mexico and we wanted to go back and do it again,'' he tells WSR. Recent drilling delivered ``very encouraging results of gold and silver.''

Highlights of the interview:

- How the company's flagship project is "very similar" to the property
that earned Western Silver a CDN$1.2 billion takeout bid from Glamis
Gold.

- Plans to spend $5 million in working capital on exploration this
year.

- An overview of additional properties, including an asset in Peru
where "aggressive" drilling should continue.

Gryphon Gold Corp. (Toronto:GGN.TO - News) has already booked a 1.8 million-ounce resource on its Borealis project on Nevada's hot Walker Lane trend, but CEO Tony Ker says the company is still going for ``blue sky'' in the form of additional million-ounce strikes. ``We believe this is one of the largest volcanic hosted systems in Nevada,'' he explains.

Highlights of the interview:

- The odds of another two or three million-ounce targets on the
Borealis property.

- The timeframe for getting Borealis into oxide production in the near
term once it identifies "just a few more ounces."

- The upside offered by the company's extensive portfolio of some 50
other Nevada properties. "We have a surfeit of drilling
opportunities."

Nevsun Resources Ltd. (Toronto:NSU.TO - News) is already pouring gold at one mine but will be selling that asset as it lines up financing on a major volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) polymetal project in Eritrea. ``We have feasibility in place,'' notes CEO John Clarke. ``We have the mining license in place.''

Highlights of the interview:

- Detail on why the company plans to sell its Tabakoto mine in Mali in
order to take the Eritrea project to the next level.

- Discussion of the Eritrea government's extraordinarily
mining-friendly policy.

- Why the VMS project could pay back construction costs after just a
year of high-grade gold mining; long-term zinc production will be
at "near-zero cost."

@dau,
sicher kann ich das nachvollziehen.

Zur zeit geht viel in Agnico, Kinross, GG etc.
die haben sich gut entwickelt seit Mitte Dez.

Die Juniors wurden rausgehaut und kaufen traut sich niemand.
es wird ein bisserl herumgetraded.

Bewertung kannst du vergessen.
Die ist wie das Wetter, schwer zu vorausssagen und täglich zu erleben.
Man sollte sich schon eher mit dem Wert an sich befassen.
Aber das ist dann Arbeit.

Und solche Fantasierechnungen wie manche User von boards veranstalten,
die sind für mich nur noch lustig.

So unter dem Motto, oz im Boden mal Silberpreis und dann ziehen wir halt gnädig die Produktionskosten,
die in der Homepage angegeben sind, ab.
So blöd sollte man nicht sein...

Es läuft unter dem Motto:
Es ist zwar beunruhigend aber nicht besorgniserregend.......

oder wie Henry Miller zu sagen pflegte....

Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not understood.

The Maguarichic project is the subject of a joint venture with Industrias Penoles (Penoles) (See EXMIN News Release of Feb. 15, 2006, for information on the joint venture). Penoles has elected to continue with year three of the joint venture and has paid EXMIN US $100,000. Also EXMIN has ceded 10% of the rights to the concessions in the project to Penoles, which now holds 20%.

Karl Boltz, President and CEO of EXMIN, stated, "The drilling at Maguarichic has been successful in identifying veins with high grade precious metal mineralization in one of the classic districts in the Sierra Madre region. So far, eleven targets have been tested, and some of the most prospective areas remain to be drilled. Based on the results from the ongoing program, Penoles has decided to continue with year three of the joint venture."
