    Penoles Silver Unit May Use IPO Proceeds for Deposits (Update1)
    By Brett Foley
    May 2 (Bloomberg) -- Industrias Penoles SAB, the world's largest primary silver producer, may use some proceeds from a share sale next week in London to buy companies that have deposits in Mexico.
    Penoles's Fresnillo Ltd. unit plans to complete an initial public offering to raise more than $900 million and start trading in London on May 9. About $150 million of the money raised will be spent on expansions and acquisitions, Chief Executive Officer said. The rest will be used to pay debt, he said.
    ``Our aim is to buy properties that can be upgraded,'' Lomelin said in an April 29 interview in London, where he was meeting potential investors. ``We think we have the technology to develop some properties that are not well operated.''
    Fresnillo operates the Mexican mine of the same name, the world's largest with silver as its primary product, which was first excavated by the Spanish in the 1550s. It plans to double output after silver prices quadrupled in five years, outpacing gold and base metals including aluminum and zinc.
    That expansion will come from the company's existing projects and doesn't take into account acquisitions, Lomelin said. There are as many as 300 so-called junior mining companies exploring for precious metals in Mexico, he said.
    ``Their intention is to find and then sell what they find to let others develop and open the mine,'' said Lomelin, who was previously CEO of Penoles for 21 years. ``We have complete knowledge of the value chain, from exploration to evaluation to development and operating the mine.''
    Three Mines
    Fresnillo mined 34.4 million ounces of silver from its three Mexican mines. Based in Mexico City, Fresnillo will sell new shares for $900 million and an unspecified number of existing shares. Penoles will retain 75 to 77 percent of the unit.
    Fresnillo may have a market value of $8 billion following the IPO, the Financial Times reported April 12. JPMorgan Cazenove Ltd., Citigroup Inc., UBS AG and Canaccord Adams Ltd. are advising the company.
    Silver for immediate delivery in London rose 1.5 percent to $16.44 an ounce as of 4:27 p.m. local time.

    ECU Silver Arranges New Debt Financing
    Monday May 5, 9:59 am ET
    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 5, 2008) - ECU Silver Mining (TSX:ECU - News; "ECU Silver" or "the Company") is pleased to announce through a letter of intent that it has arranged a new $10 million debt facility with IIG Capital LLC ("IIG") based in New York.



    The debt facility will have a drawdown feature which will enable the Company to draw up to $10 million subject to certain terms and based on its cash requirements. The debt facility will have a term of 29 months commencing June, 2008 and will bear an annual interest at a rate equal to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 6% but not less than 11%. There will be no principal repayments required until November 30, 2009 following which principal will be repayable in equal monthly installments for 12 months. The facility will be secured by a first mortgage covering the current mining properties of the Company's Mexican subsidiaries. A structuring fee of 1.5% is payable to IIG.This strategic debt facility offers ECU Silver a timely and non-dilutive way to ensure it has sufficient liquidity to advance its exploration and development programs. The Company's objectives are to complete sufficient work to convert a meaningful portion of its potential into a mineral resource category with a view to providing an update to its N.I. 43-101 mineral resource report later in the year.
    Concurrent with this new facility, the Company has also arranged for an extension of its existing loan with IIG. Commencement of the existing monthly repayment schedule will be deferred by 6 months from May 29, 2009 to November 30, 2009. The interest on the restructured loan will be calculated at one-month LIBOR plus 6% but not less than 11%.

    Kennt jemand Mexoro?


    Gibt's wohl bald nicht mehr, denn PZG steigt ein:
    Paramount Gold And Silver Corp. Enters Into Strategic Alliance With Mexoro Minerals Ltd. In Mexico


    Wobei zweierlei anzumerken ist: Zum einen wird PZG genau wissen was man da macht, denn Mexoro ist Nachbar (hat die roten Properties, und die gelben Porperties sind von PZG, die San Miguel Property ist nicht eingezeichnet, sie beginnt oben links an der Ecke). Zum anderen ist anzumerken dass PZG zur Zeit sehr vielGeld verbrennt, etwa1,5 Mille pro Monat, und nun wird ein weiteres Fass aufgemacht... :S


    Chihuahua, Mexico - (Market Wire) – May 5, 2008- Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. (AMEX: PZG) (TSX: PZG) (Frankfurt: P6G, WKN: A0HGKQ) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent to enter into a strategic alliance with Mexoro Minerals Ltd. (OTCBB: MXOM and Frankfurt: OYA1). The strategic alliance contemplates both companies combining their mining and exploration expertise including resources such as management, personnel, exploration equipment and mining concessions to maximize shareholder value creating an exciting alignment of interest between the companies. Both companies operate projects in the Sierra Madre gold-silver belt in Chihuahua, Mexico. The synergy of this transaction will be evident as the companies work together in the Guazapares region. The combined position in the area creates a large land position allowing opportunities for exploration and development strategies to maximize shareholder value as per the map below:


    [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.paramountgold.com/projects/images/mexoro_1_tn.jpg]


    The companies will also combine Paramount’s recently discovered “Clavo 99” with Mexoro’s Encino Gordo project for a land package in excess of 1,000 hectares situated immediately east of Coeur d’Alene’s Palmarejo Trogan Project. The location map below illustrates Paramount’s ‘Clavo 99’ which trends north-northwest into Mexoro’s Encino Gordo project.


    [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.paramountgold.com/projects/images/mexoro_2_tn.jpg]


    In addition, the companies will establish an exploration team to co-develop Paramount’s 86,000 hectare Andrea concession with the neighboring Mexoro Cieneguita Mine. Cieneguita was last in production by Glamis Gold Ltd. between 1995 and 1998 prior to its acquisition by Goldcorp Inc. Below is a location map of Paramount’s Andrea Concession and Mexoro’s Cieneguita Mine.


    [Blockierte Grafik: http://www.paramountgold.com/projects/images/mexoro_3_tn.jpg]


    The agreement calls for Paramount to invest a minimum of $4 million and maximum of $6 million into Mexoro, fixed at a price of $0.50 per unit by June 23, 2008. Each unit will consist of 1 common share of Mexoro and one half warrant to purchase additional common shares at a price of $0.75 per share exercisable immediately for a period of four years from closing. Should Paramount subscribe for the maximum, it would receive 12 million shares and 6 million warrants in the offering. The closing price of Mexoro shares quoted on the OTCBB on May 2, 2008 was $0.59 per share. The Letter of Intent contemplates that Paramount will provide an immediate cash infusion into Mexoro in the amount of $500,000 in the form of a secured convertible debenture bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum for a term of one year. Paramount will have the option to convert the debt into units as part of the overall financing. Paramount will retain the first right of refusal on all future financings of Mexoro for a period of four years.


    Christopher Crupi, Paramount’s Chief Executive Officer, will be appointed President of Mexoro upon completion of the financing and Mario Ayub will remain the Chairman of Mexoro. Paramount will have the right to appoint two members to the board of directors of Mexoro. Mr. Ayub may also be appointed to the board of directors of Paramount and will act as strategic advisor to Paramount. Mario Ayub is a chemical engineer and is a specialist in metallurgy. Mr. Ayub has served as President of the Chihuahua Mining Association from 2002- 2005 and from 1998 to 2002 was president of the National Miners Association of Mexico.


    The companies will form a joint exploration and development management committee with the responsibility of reviewing and planning the exploration programs of both companies. Charles William (Bill) Reed and Barry Quiroz will remain Vice President of Exploration for Paramount and Mexoro respectively. Barry Quiroz is a geologist and has held a management position with BHP Billiton.


    Christopher Crupi commented on the transaction, “Combining our exploration assets with those of Mexoro, particularly our San Miguel concessions in the Guazapares region, will give the companies significant property holdings for exploration in the mineral rich and prolific Sierra Madre gold-silver belt. Together, the companies control over 100,000 hectares within three historic mining districts and the combined exploration teams of over 100 people will be one of the most experienced in Mexico.”


    Mario Ayub, President of Mexoro, said “This transaction results in synergies on many levels. Paramount is a well managed and well financed company trading on senior exchanges. The strategic geographical positioning of our properties in relation to Paramount, coupled with our common vision of an aggressive exploration program in this prolific area provides the potential for significant success going forward.”

    Gute news bei GPR: Base metal zone!!


    Great Panther Drills 15.94 Metres @ 1,305g/t Silver and 4.60g/t Gold and Discovers New Base Metal Rich Zone in Guanajuato Mine
    Monday May 5, 12:22 pm ET
    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--May 5, 2008 -- GREAT PANTHER RESOURCES LIMITED (Toronto:GPR.TO - News) is pleased to announce that deep diamond drilling at the Company's wholly-owned Guanajuato Mine in Guanajuato, Mexico continues to enlarge the dimensions of the Cata Clavo with considerable widths of exceptionally high grade silver-gold mineralization and has discovered a new silver-copper-lead-zinc zone in the lower portion of the orebody.
    Drilling was highlighted by hole EUG08-015, which intersected 15.94 metres grading 1,305g/t silver and 4.60g/t gold in the Veta Madre zone. Four of 23 samples within this interval assayed greater than 7,000g/t silver and 28g/t gold with the highest grade sample being 0.25 metres grading 11,815g/t silver and 46.20g/t gold. A second intersection in EUG08-015 returned 254g/t silver and 0.72g/t gold over 5.20 metres, also in the Veta Madre.
    Significant widths of good mineralization were intersected in the Veta Madre Zone in hole EUG08-014 which was drilled up dip and off section to the north from EUG08-015. Hole EUG08-014 intersected 4.54 metres grading 166g/t silver and 0.48g/t gold and 2.28 metres grading 347g/t silver and 1.46g/t gold, both in the Veta Madre. Hole EUG08-013, drilled up dip and off section to the south from EUG08-015, intersected 0.32 metres grading 671g/t silver and 3.72g/t gold in the Veta Madre Zone.
    A new base metal rich zone was discovered at a vertical depth of 600 metres by core hole EUG08-016, which was drilled to test the Veta Madre zone at depth. This new zone, in the footwall of the Veta Madre, returned 71g/t silver, 0.93% copper, 0.29% lead, and 0.35% zinc over 3.10 metres, including a higher grade portion assaying 162g/t silver, 2.07% copper, 0.42% lead, and 0.39% zinc over 0.44 metres. This is the first time that any appreciable amount of base metals has been encountered in the Cata Clavo and is evidence of metal zoning as the depth increases. Future drilling will continue to test this new zone both up-dip and along strike. Highlights of holes EUG08-013 to 016 are detailed in the table below. Maps, sections and previous news releases can be viewed on the Company's website at www.greatpanther.com.
    Drill-holes EUG08-013 to 016 were all collared on the same section as holes EUG07-008 to 012 on the 345 level cross cut to test the down dip and strike continuity of the Cata Clavo, and all intersected significant mineralization with some zones demonstrating excellent widths. Drilling is ongoing and, to date, every hole in the deep drilling program at Cata has intersected good mineralization. Although widths and grades in the drilling are variable, as is typical of vein systems, the program is confirming wide spaced historic drill data that indicated the extension of silver-gold mineralization in this area for at least 170 metres below the existing workings and over a strike length of approximately 300 metres. Seven sub-parallel zones of economic grade have now been identified within a system of intense silicification, brecciation, and quartz vein flooding up to 60 metres in thickness.
    Samples were assayed by SGS at the Company's Guanajuato Mine site laboratory and diamond drilling was contracted to Canrock Drilling, of San Luis de Potosi. Robert F. Brown, P. Eng and Vice President of Exploration for the Company, is the Qualified Person for the Guanajuato Mine Project, under the meaning of NI43-101, and has reviewed these results. The Company's QA/QC program includes the regular insertion of blanks and standards into the sample shipments, plus ISO certified laboratory checks.
    Great Panther owns a 100% interest in the Guanajuato Mine Complex. Historically, the Guanajuato Mine was one of the largest silver producers in Mexico and encompasses the core of the Guanajuato District, which has produced 1.2 billion ounces of silver and 4.5 million ounces gold.

  • :huh: Mexico Mike gestern über OK.V:


    ...for OK I believe they are pushing the envelope way beyond what is acceptable. For example, on the most recent resource estimate, they used a 60:1 gold to silver ratio, even though in current spot pricing, its closer to 50:1. This has the effect of creating silver equivalent resources that are invented out of thin air. There is no reputable consulting company on the face of the earth that would sign off on that kind of report and yet the company gets away with it. The TSXV is a joke because they have stepped in and reprimanded companies for less significant breaches of disclosure, yet htey allow the nonsense with OK to continue. One of the senior managers with OK has been bragging that he can get away with anything on his reporting because he is well connected with the regulatory agency of the TSXV. Again, that is deplorable...

  • Hallo Nugget,
    jetzt gilt es die Linien zu ziehen für den Rest des Jahres.


    Dabei gilt es einiges zu beachten. Wenn ich 40-60% wo hinten bin, wird es kein Renner mehr für´s Depot.
    Also raus oder aufstocken.
    Andererseits. Mit Kimber bin ich wieder plan und war auch schon 50% hinten. Die haben jetzt ein schönes Momentum und Drillergebnisse sind im Sommer zu erwarten.
    Die werden bei mir Anfang Juni frei.


    Nicht schlecht ist es auch, Steuerminusvorträge zu schreiben, dann kann man auch ein paar kurzfristige trades zum Ausgleichen hernehemn.


    Bei UNO ist in nächster Zeit nicht viel zu erwarten. EXM ebenso.
    CMA könnte was kommen.
    Garibaldi, kings minerals, Malachite, Silvermex, Yale, Arian, Newmac, von denen muss was raus.
    Wobei ich Arian ziemlich unten gekauft habe, jetziges PP war zu 0,25, ich zu 0,32.


    Bleiben wir am Ball, überstürzen muss man nichts.



    Von 21 auf 24 Mille erhöht. Nicht allzuviel.

    Metalline Mining's Silver Lining



    With the fears of global recession and the subprime-induced credit crunch, junior mining stocks have been clobbered in recent months. Investors have been liquidating whatever they can to get through this rough period, with even large producers taking big hits. As this article points out, "The juniors are in the midst of a fear-driven sentiment storm that is fierce and unforgiving... But eventually... those speculators positioned in the elite juniors should win legendary gains." Many investors have thrown in the towel on the sector, dropping some top-notch juniors to incredibly undervalued levels.
    We believe the big money will be made by those investors who take advantage of rough periods like this to accumulate the junior mining stocks with the best long-term outlooks. As this article points out, "A temporary slowdown [was] predictable: Each decade has some sort of pause. What will follow this one will be, we believe, an even greater boom - that will last for many, many years... For miners, the best is yet to come."


    Metalline Mining's Oxide Zinc Project Progress
    In our last update, we mentioned Metalline Mining's (MMG) "best of both worlds" status with a world-class low-cost zinc project as well as an aggressive silver exploration program. Since then, Metalline has updated their oxide zinc feasibility study progress, including the announcement of plans to drive the production decline to the center of the resource and test mining to back up the information in the paper feasibility study. In the current environment where many projects that hadn't done test mining (and a good number that hadn't even done a feasibility study) have encountered unexpected difficulties going to production, we believe this test mining will significantly reduce the risk of the project and make it much more attractive for financing and/or potential acquisition. Driving the production decline before the completion of the feasibility study will give the project a head start on the move to production, saving significant mine construction time later. It also will provide much better information on both the oxide zinc and the north side silver/copper/zinc/lead mineralization.
    The zinc feasibility study progress update also introduced an economic model involving selling their concentrate to existing refineries rather than building their own, which would eliminate the vast majority of the project's capex costs and accelerate the move to production. If the evaluation of this option proves fruitful, the economics would be extremely attractive in an environment of tighter credit. The operating costs would be higher with this approach, but still likely much lower than other zinc miners.
    On Monday, Metalline announced the hiring of a large international engineering team (which had worked on the Skorpion zinc project) to complete work on the concentrator plant studies by September in order to accelerate completion of the feasibility study, expected to be completed by the end of the year. In an environment where many mining projects endure repeated delays because of a shortage of qualified personnel, this news shows that management is aggressively moving toward timely completion of the oxide zinc feasibility study.

  • Teil 2:


    The Silver Lining in the Oxide Zinc Project
    On the silver front, the aforementioned oxide zinc feasibility study progress update also indicated that metallurgical studies on the oxide zinc materials showed "better than 80% recovery of the contained silver." Previously, we had not been expecting any silver by-product in the oxide zinc project. If further work confirms the feasible recovery of this by-product silver, that could have big ramifications for the financing of the move to production.
    Last week, a deal was announced between Silver Wheaton (SLW) and Augusta Resources (AZC) where Augusta will sell to Silver Wheaton 45% of the payable silver from its mine, or about 1.2 million ounces per year for 18 years, starting in 2011, for a total upfront cash payment of $165 million. As explained on their web sites, companies like Silver Wheaton and Silverstone Resources (SST.V) have a business model of growth by pursuing such silver by-product stream deals. With good silver projects becoming more and more scarce, these companies are actively in the hunt for silver by-product streams
    If MMG could do a deal like this with one of these companies for the oxide zinc project's by-product silver, they might be able to finance the move to production without any dilution, especially if they choose the option of outsourcing the zinc refining (at least initially). Perhaps the biggest worry investors have about late-stage mine developers like MMG is about financing the move to production during a credit crunch. If MMG can do a deal that allows them to finance the move to production without dilution, while still keeping significant silver upside for shareholders from the north side, it would be an ideal scenario for current shareholders, and the stock would be worth a heck of a lot more.
    The beauty of MMG's zinc project is that they may be able to finance the move to production with little or no equity dilution either with the very low capex option of outsourcing the refining, which most zinc miners do (MMG has a big cost advantage because of their huge amount of existing infrastructure and the cheap processing of oxide zinc), or with a silver stream deal on the project's silver by-product, or both. That would be a very unusual situation for a world-class zinc project, and would give current shareholders tremendous upside.
    The Big Silver Upside
    Since our last update, in addition to some promising drill results, the announcement of ramping up to 4 drills working 2 shifts, and the implementation of an on-site assay lab to guide operations, MMG also completed a 3D evaluation of the silver and copper content of an initial block of mineralization on the north side based on the drilling compiled to date. This evaluation indicated that there are approximately 30 million ounces of silver and 30 million pounds of copper in this block for a rough total of over $600 million of gross value using current prices. There also is significant zinc and lead in this block, but the evaluation of that content is still in progress.
    This initial block is just a small portion of their prospective property. It covers only 600 meters east-west within the 1,100 meters east-west they've been drilling, within the 3,100 meters east-west they've been sampling, within the over 5,000 meters east-west of the historic mining district. In addition, they have 14,000 more meters west of the district that has similar geology, as well as other prospective areas. So this 600 meters east-west is less than 1/8th of the east-west length of the historic mining district, and less than 1/30th of the east-west length of highly prospective geology. It's really the proverbial "tip of the iceberg," with 2 shifts working "4 diamond drills, 3 percussion drills, channel sampling and geologic mapping," all guided by an on-site assay lab to efficiently prove up the rest of the iceberg.
    Given MMG's market cap under $80 million, this initial $600 million+ of gross metal value, which will be added to when the zinc/lead evaluation of the block is completed, is a great start to the evaluation of the north side mineralization, especially when combined with the several billion dollars of zinc in the oxide zinc project.
    With MMG considered to be just a zinc junior, with a world-class zinc project on the south side of the property, this huge amount of silver on the north side just in this initial block indicates that MMG is well on their way to establishing themselves as a huge silver miner, too. Since silver juniors get valued much higher than zinc juniors, MMG should be getting a very nice revaluation as the market recognizes the transformation of the company. Watch for far more drill results and more evaluations in coming months as this aggressive transformation progresses.>
    Unique Value
    With a world class zinc project being run by the same team that put the similar world class Skorpion zinc project into production a few years ago at historic low zinc prices (about 1/3 current prices), MMG clearly has enormous upside. Skorpion was valued much higher than MMG's current market cap when it got bought out by Anglo American (AAUK) upon completion of the feasibility study 8 years ago, at the trough of the metals bear market -- and they didn't have any silver. The oxide zinc project's silver by-product has the potential to allow MMG to finance the move to production without significant equity dilution, which would be a huge positive for current shareholders, especially during a credit crunch.
    Separately, MMG's big silver upside from their north side mineralization that they're very aggressively working to prove up could end up being worth many times MMG's current market cap. The aggressive work being done to prove the silver value has already shown significant value, and will likely prove up much more value in coming months.
    There's still much work remaining to be done on both projects, but it's clear that the work being done in coming months should add enormous value for MMG's shareholders. With the junior mining sector potentially recovering strongly from its doldrums in coming months, with zinc likely to start rebounding soon as the market begins to recognize the looming shortages, and with silver likely rebounding from its correction soon, the timing for MMG completing all this work to transform themselves into a near-term zinc producer and significant silver miner could be excellent.
    Best Time to Invest
    Some of the best returns in the stock market are made by investing in out-of-favor stocks during slumps in long-term bull markets, especially those that are improving their fundamentals by transforming themselves to increase shareholder value. The recent sector weakness has been a difficult period for junior mining investors, but we continue to believe that long-term investors in quality junior miners will be very well rewarded for their patience.

    The Investment Case For Junior Mining Companies
    Part I: Technical View
    by Eric Hommelberg
    May 05, 2008
    Already sold your junior mining shares lately? No? Well better hurry then since juniors have nowhere to go but down. Why trust your hard earned capital to a bunch of liars sitting on empty drill holes? Why trust your hard earned money to entities that won't be able to raise fresh capital needed for ongoing exploration efforts? Don't you recognize that most juniors don't own anything but a few empty drill holes indeed? Don't you recognize that most juniors won't find anything ever since only one out of 2000 projects will make it to a mine? Why fool yourself in order to try to guess which project will make it to a mine? Don't you know the market is always right? The market has spoken, juniors should be avoided like the plague, don't you get it? Why else would juniors be trading these days as if gold were $330? Don't you agree that if $1000 gold can't lift the juniors that $2000 gold won't do it either? So if you don't own juniors congratulations, if you do own juniors then sell them while they're still trading above 0. Then invest your remaining money into entities that are producing since those are the only ones being profitable in a rising precious metals environment.
    Pretty encouraging statements right? Does it reflect my opinion about junior mining companies? Well sure enough the statements above are by no means a reflection of my opinion but unfortunately we're dealing with sentiment like this these days and many may wonder if this will ever come to an end. Even good drilling results can't lift a junior these days since sellers are all lined up to in order to cash in. We've seen plenty of examples lately whereby companies doubled over night upon stellar drilling results only to see them drifting back again to pre-discovery levels. So did we bet on the wrong sector after all? What should we do now? Sell, hold or add to our existing positions?
    Let's first start off with the popular bear tunes when it comes to junior mining sector. Many advisors will tell you to avoid the juniors (or sell them if you own them) because of:

    • Juniors are being shorted by Hedge-funds as part of a spread they play in the gold mining shares. They go long senior gold shares, short juniors thereby depressing the juniors to unimaginable lows

    • Juniors are facing difficulties in order to finance their exploration programs due to the on-going credit crisis. A junior that can't finance itself will bleed to death.

    • Juniors are facing sky-rocketing exploration costs which in turn accelerates the burn-rate of the remaining cash and therefore accelerates their way towards bankruptcy

    • Most juniors won't find anything since only one out of 2000 projects will make it to a mine. Trying to guess which projects could evolve into a mine will most probably lead to tremendous disappointments..

    • There are so many new companies and promoters that money from the usual small mining cap investors is diluted

    • The uranium boom and the ETFs are diverting plenty of money away from the (gold) juniors.

    Sentiment like this has pushed the junior sector towards incredible lows but it seems that there's light at the end of this long dark tunnel. I will deal with sentiment mentioned above in part II (Fundamental over view) but first I want to address the technical picture which is extremely encouraging. Undervaluation Juniors vs Gold reached its extreme in February this year. Since then the juniors didn't correct as much as gold (percentage wise) which has led to an increase of the CDNX/GOLD ratio (see also "Juniors - Buy Of a Lifetime". This is an encouraging sign since it means that the CDNX/GOLD ratio has bottomed out. All previous major BUY opportunities for juniors NOTEoccurred at such bottoms.
    it wouldn't surprise me to see another junior hype (over-valuation against gold) within 12+ months from now and yes, we definitely find ourselves in BUY territories right here right now. The only short-term uncertainty is how far gold could correct further from here on. Did we bottom out at $850? Or will gold correct further towards levels just below its 200 dma? Although I think that $850 has a fair chance to hold as major support we can't rule out a return to gold's 200 dma either which would translate itself into gold prices in the low 800's.
    The bottom line however is:
    Downside risk for gold has dropped below 10%! Downside risk dropping below 10% is good enough for me to start adding to my gold positions again. Remember, we already saw that GOLD/CDNX ratio bottomed out which means that if gold drops eg 10% the juniors (average, CDNX index) will be dropping less than 10%. So it's fair to say that downside risk for the average junior here is less than 10% as well.
    On January 25 I wrote my piece 'Juniors - Buy of a Lifetime' which suggested a major bottom must have been near for the junior sector based on the CDNX/GOLD ratio which had hit a 6 year low. Now after three months people are asking me when my prediction will come true since the juniors are still a bunch of lousy performers.
    Believe it or not but I'm encouraged of what I see since February this year. Let's first take a peek at the CDNX/GOLD ratio chart of January 25. The CDNX/GOLD ratio chart reflects the valuation of juniors against gold. A low CDNX/GOLD ratio translates itself into an undervaluation of the juniors against gold and a high CDNX/GOLD ratio translates itself into an over-valuation of the junior shares against gold. The chart below clearly demonstrated the deepest undervaluation of the junior shares since late 2002 which suggested a major bottom must have been near.

    Eric Honnelberg hat hier einen sehr lesenswerten Artikel gebracht.


    Diesen wollte ich gestern bei Eldo´s Riesenthread reinstellen;
    aber da hatte er ihn dann schon auszugsweise drin. :)


    Sehr gute Charts zu den exzellenten Ausführungen !
    So etwa in der Nähe des Bodens sehe ich die Situation auch.


    Lustige Begebenheit am Rande vermerkt.
    Hab mal in seinem Contest gestöbert, und siehe da:
    Er selbst krebst irgendwo im letzten Zehntel der Teilnehmer.
    Wenn das nicht mal ein gutes Zeichen ist ! ;)

  • valueman,
    PG und MMM hast ja gut erwischt. (Meinst du nicht MSV.TO, erinnere mich an Minco Silver???)
    SRLM: aus reinem Sport verkauf ich die schon nicht, weil da hab ich noch nie Verlust geschrieben :D
    Aber gewinnen werd ich da auch nichts.
    Wenn die erste oz Angabe sehr niedrig ist, geht´s da noch mal runter.
    Aber auf Sicht von einem jahr dürfte es schon passen. 2,8 Mille oz werden´s nie....


    @edelman,
    neben Hommelberg ist auch Redfern, der CEO von Mexivada zwischen 500 und 600 angesiedelt, ebenso silbernugget und ich (501)
    http://www.golddrivers.com/alt/contest2008.asp


    Wenn man unter die ersten 10 schaut, hat fast nur Tina ein ausgewogenens depot.
    Wenn man einen 500% Ausreißer dabei hat...na ja
    Mit einer vollen hose ist gut stinken...


    Und obwohl nur ein Auszug aus meinem depot spiegelt es den verlauf des ganzen Depots ziemlich exakt wieder.
    So um die Minus 30 heuer.
    Durch die Ölis schaut es ein bisserl besser aus...


    Im übrigen, was Hommelberg unter "Many advisors will tell you to avoid the juniors (or sell them if you own them) because of:"
    aufzählt, stimmt ja auf´s Haar.
    Nur braucht man deswegen JETZT nichts mehr verkaufen.


    Jedenfalls werden die nächsten 7 Wochen sehr wichtig für mich, weil ich die Gewichteln anders verteilen muss.
    Und wenn ich da wieder so danebenlang wie Anfang des Jahres,
    dann kann ich sch...(witzen) gehen....
    :D


    Grüße

    PS: Gammon mit update. Schaut gut aus.

    Yep, das fiel ebenfalls beim Contest auf:
    Die vorderen Placierungen sind alle einzelnen Ausreissern zu verdanken.
    Entweder Insiderwissen oder Zufallstreffer


    Da bin ich froh, dort nicht dabei zu sein, =), bei der miesen Situation im allgemeinen.
    Dies ist eines der besch........ Quartale der letzten Jahre für die Juniors und Explorer.


    Wenn ich nicht den Löwenanteil früh gefeuert hätte,und viel Calls tradete, sähe ich auch schlecht aus.


    Aber auch dem physischen Bestand von gut 50 %, der ja bei uns zum Depot zählt.
    Da wage ich kaum zu sagen, daß ich knapp bei pari stehe, 2008 in € :O


    Aber ich fange an, wieder einzusteigen bzw aufzustocken, zB. PIK, RMX und MAI.
    Weil ich auch ziemlich :hae: überzeugt bin, daß das Rückschlagsrisiko begrenzt ist.


    Grüsse

  • @edel,
    gut, ich rechne das Physische nicht zum Depot.
    Ich hab da noch einiges im Dez. gekauft, das ist alles im Plus. Nicht zu reden von der Wertsteigerung einer kleinen Münzsammlung.
    Aber da zählt auch nur der reale Verkaufswert, den man erzielt.


    Das war exzellent, was zur Folge hat, dass du viel Cash hast.
    Take your choice! :D


    Rückschlagsrisiko: die nächsten Monate nicht, aber es hängt auch vom allgemeinen Aktienmarkt ab...



    Ein ganz hervorragender Artikel, ein"Unbedingt lesen"
    darin enthalten

  • Die Bear Creek Mining ist auch nicht schlecht wenn man an kaufen denkt, bei EPZ war ein kurzer trading stop, keine Ahnung welche Meldung nun kommt.
    HBM.TO ebenso unterbewertet, gute Mine, nichts verkehrt, genug Cash auf der Hand.


    Mal schaun, wie es weiter geht..

    Das mit dem physischen ist Ansichtssache:
    Es gehört mE. zu dem frei verfügbaren Vermögensanteil, also Depotbestand. ;)
    Selbst bei einem hohen Anteil ist der direkte Einfluß aber relativ.
    Das habe ich in meinem Quartalsrückblick herausgestellt:


    Depotstruktur


    Der Clou ist der, daß gerade in letzter Zeit die Minen so schwach performten.
    Anders formuliert:
    Wäre der phys. Anteil in Aktien angelegt gewesen, hätte es hohe % Miese gemacht.
    So in € immerhin rd.1,5 % Plus.


    Der reingestellte Artikel ist gut, besonders die Charts interessant.
    Leider nur Comments zu den Indices, aber mit sehr positiven Aussichten.


    Wünsche gutes Investment !


    Grüsse
