Silber Companies - Liste und Neues

auratico,
das ist einfach ein Zock. Das projekt ist super, aber sehr schwierig mit den vielen minern.
Kenn einiges aus Erzählungen, wie es läuft in Tansania.
Da ist schon Voraussetzung, dass einige da an board kommen, damit in Dar etwas weitergeht.
Mich hat da nur die Geschichte und die Machenschaften interessiert.....
Wenn ich Spielgeld hätt´würd ich es machen.
Zur Zeit für mich: never!

Excellon Continues to Drill High Grade Sulphides at Platosa
Wednesday August 6, 11:27 am ET

6.41 m grading 1,192 g/t (35 oz/T) silver, 13.7% lead; 23.8% zinc
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 6, 2008 - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN - News) announces assay results for massive, semi-massive sulphide, and sulphide breccia intercepts from 28 recent holes in the Platosa Test-mine area. Twelve of these holes have cut significant new mineralization in the South Central Guadalupe Manto that is easily accessible from existing underground development. The best of these is Hole LP542, which cut 6.41 metres (m) of massive sulphides grading 1,192 g/t (35 oz/T) silver, 13.7% lead and 23.8% zinc. Hole LP565, 15 m away, cut 5.55 m of massive sulphides grading 856 g/t (25.0 oz/T) silver, 9.8% lead, 14.8% zinc.
An additional highlight is the NE Rodilla Manto, where eight holes have now intersected significant massive and semi-massive sulphides. The best of the eight intercepts reported is in LP533, which cut three closely-spaced sulphide zones grading 803 g/t (23.4 oz/T) silver, 7.2% lead, 5.2% zinc over 2.25 m; 161 g/t (4.7 oz/T) silver, 7.1% lead, 5.2% zinc over 1.45 m, and 729 g/t (21.3 oz/T) silver, 13.1% lead, 21.8% zinc over 1.00 m.
All of the above-noted intercepts represent sulphide mineralization not included within Excellon's February 3, 2008 NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource. See the table and map below for detailed assay results. Visual results for 15 of these holes were reported on June 5, 2008. All reported intersections are estimated true thicknesses.
Orientation ground gravity surveys were completed in July over the test-mine and a portion of the Saltillera area. These complement induced polarization (IP) surveys completed in June. Final results for both surveys are pending.
"We are pleased that our drilling continues to outline high-grade sulphide mineralization beyond the limits of our NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate, especially since some of this mineralization is readily accessible through existing mining infrastructure" said Peter A. Crossgrove, Excellon's chairman. "We are looking forward to fully incorporating the gravity and IP survey results into our ongoing drilling program to expand our high-grade manto resource, while aggressively seeking the large-tonnage, intrusion-related proximal style of mineralization that we believe remains to be discovered on the Company's large property."
An additional four holes drilled within the NI 43-101 Mineral Resource limits of the Northwest Guadalupe Manto are reported here (1000 Series). These holes were drilled in the course of controlling the water inflow that temporarily interrupted mining operations in late-May and early-June, but also serve to confirm continuity of mineralization in this area.
Thirty-three additional holes, most of which are shown but not numbered on the map, drilled in the test-mine area since the June 5, 2008 press release encountered trace sulphides within the favourable host limestone unit, but did not intersect significant mineralization.
Three drills remain active in the test-mine area and a fourth continues with the regional exploration program at Saltillera, approximately five kilometres to the west. Fifteen holes have been completed in the Saltillera area in calendar 2008. Promising geology and alteration continue to be intersected and a dedicated geological team has been created to manage all aspects of exploration in this area. The IP geophysical survey was completed at Saltillera in June and although a final report has not been received, preliminary results are now being incorporated into drill targeting.

Bob Moriarty, 321gold.com: Gold is Safe Haven for Looming Crash
Source: The Gold Report 08/08/2008
Bob Moriarty, founder of 321gold.com, gives us his no-holds-barred opinions on where the economy is headed, the demise of the dollar, and which mining companies are worth taking a look at. Bob travels to dozens of mining projects a year. He was one of the first analysts to write about NovaGold, Northern Dynasty, Silver Standard, Running Fox and YGC Resources among others. Bob and his wife, Barb, convinced gold/silver were at a bottom in 2001, started 321gold.com, one of the first websites devoted to teaching readers what they need to know about investing in resource stocks. Bob and Barb now operate two resource sites, 321Gold.com and 321energy.com, where up to 100,000 people a day visit. Prior to his Internet career, Bob was a Marine F-4B pilot at the age of 20 and a veteran of over 820 missions in Viet Nam. Becoming a Captain in the Marines at 22, he was one of the most highly decorated pilots in the war.

TGR: Where do you see the markets going between now and the end of the year?

RM: My opinion is that we’re headed for a major crash. I think the market will top in August and we will have a repeat of 1929. I believe in 1929 the very top was on September 5th. It declined into October and then crashed at the end of October. We are going to have a market crash between now and October. Reality is setting in; the smart money is bailing out of stocks.

TGR: Well, that‘s pretty dramatic. How do you view gold playing out in the same time period?

RM: First of all, gold is the ultimate money. It’s portable; it’s divisible; it’s rare; and it’s transferable. It’s the only asset that has no obligation whatsoever to anyone. If you pick up a $100 bill, you may think of it as an asset, but it’s actually a liability on the government. Gold has no liabilities; it is the safest of safe havens; it’s been that way for 5,000 years, and in my opinion, it’s going to be that way for the next three, five or twenty years.

TGR: Do you want to put a number on where you see gold going in October?

RM: That’s a trap that everybody falls into, and it’s a bad question. When you’re talking about the price of gold, you’re talking about two commodities—gold and the dollar.

Now, everybody thinks that gold has run up from $251, but it actually hasn’t gone up; the dollar’s gone down. So, the real question should be how much of a crash do you think there could be in the dollar. So, the real answer is there is no limit to where the price of gold can go because there’s no limit to how low the dollar can go; the United States is bankrupt.

TGR: What about base metals?

RM: Base metals are going through a correction; copper hasn’t declined that much, but lead and zinc and nickel have all gotten creamed. That’s perfectly normal. China has spent probably billions of dollars on the Olympics. I think there will be a slowdown there that will last 18 months but it’s no big deal.

TGR: So, it’s a slowdown…are you saying it’s not going to be a “crash” as in the U.S. markets?

RM: Here’s what’s interesting. China actually has been producing things they’ve been sending to us. If the United States goes into a depression, it’s still quite possible for the Chinese to consume. But you’ve got to consider that between 1830 and 1900, when the United States created all of its real wealth, there were three major depressions. Depressions are no big deal; they last 18 months and then you start all over.

TGR: So, do you have money in banks right now?

RM: The only money I keep in banks is the money I need to pay this month's bills. I wouldn’t keep a dime in a bank; the FDIC is more highly leveraged than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and they’re both broke. When Washington Mutual goes under, and surely they will, it will bankrupt the FDIC.

TGR: Can you speculate what will be the next reserve currency?

RM: Gold.

TGR: So you think the world’s going to go back to the gold standard?

RM: It’s going to go back to a gold standard but not because anybody wants to, not because of any vested interest on the part of any governments. It’s going to go back to a gold standard because there’s no other choice. I was in Tanzania recently, and I walked into a bank, and I wanted to convert about $3,000 into shillings because I was going out into the field, and I needed to pay some miners. They handed about two-thirds of my money back to me, and they told me they wouldn’t exchange it because the bills were made prior to 2000. Now, that’s the first time in my life that’s ever happened to me, and it was a real shock. But when the entire banking system of the world freezes up and you can no longer get your money that is going to happen. And when people can no longer use credit cards and when people can no longer use bills, because nobody knows what the value is because it’s changing so much every day, they’re going to go to gold. They’re going to go to gold for the same reason they have for 5,000 years. It’s the only reliable alternative.

TGR: Will silver also play a role in terms of currency?

RM: When you have a gold standard, the primary metal in currency is actually silver. That’s the thing that could make silver $50 an ounce. There’s no shortage of silver. All these guys running around saying there’s some kind of shortage of silver, and they never get enough and it’s the most valuable commodity in the world —it’s all nonsense. But when we go back to the gold standard, we will need a lot more silver.

TGR: Will there be any other precious metals that will operate as a currency like gold and silver?

RM: Not operating as a currency, but remaining a store of value—the commercial need for platinum, palladium, and rhodium is still extremely high. They’re very valuable metals in a technological society, so they will go up probably more than silver and gold.

TGR: And why do you see silver as being a primary currency?

RM: Because you can trade it. If you can imagine, next week we go on a pseudo-gold standard because nobody accepts money. You go to fill your car up and you give the guy an ounce of gold. What’s he going to give you your change in?

TGR: OK, interesting. Let's talk about some of the juniors. What do you make of Kinross’ (Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) proposed acquisition of Aurelian Resources Inc. (TSX: ARU)? Do you think that’s going to be the beginning of more of these junior non-producers being picked up at these two-year low prices?

RM: Absolutely. The majors have consumed their young and recognize that they have a 10-year reserve life right now, and they don’t have anything after that. So, they have to go out and buy reserves, and that’s just a start. There are a lot of juniors that are on the ropes now. Now, Aurelian happens to be a really good company in a really good project in a bad country, but there are lots of juniors that are in trouble.

There are too many juniors. Rick Rule has done a really wonderful piece that's on your site, and ours. And he’s absolutely correct; there’s too many juniors out there, too many guys who think they can run mining companies.

TGR: Is that why you think failure is an option in the junior market?

RM: That’s a very important part; I can think of 10 or 15 companies on the verge of bankruptcy. And somebody will recognize they have very real assets, and go and snap them up cheap.

TGR: You indicated in an article that we probably hit the bottom in gold shares in late July (July 25), and the reason for that is that investors favor metal over mining shares more than any point in time the last five years, and this is the mark of the bottom. Can you explain that a bit more?

RM: Here’s the real key—all investing is psychological in nature. When people are the most optimistic, that’s a top. When they’re the most pessimistic, that’s a bottom. So, if you can ever measure pure psychology, you can pick tops and bottoms fairly accurately. When you have something as bizarre as last Friday being the very most pessimistic period in five years, it’s also probably—and I use the term probably—the best time to buy.

TGR: You say you’re projecting that the market is going to crash, so somehow I can’t reconcile this. . .

RM: Homestake declined about 21% from the crash in late October 1929 through the end of that year, but through the entire decade of the 1930s Homestake was the highest gaining stock on the New York Stock Exchange. So, it’s entirely possible the market could crash and gold stocks go up. At some point in time, people are going to recognize the precious metals stocks, not all metal stocks, are the safest place to be.

TEIL 2:

TGR: You also indicated that you wanted to be focusing on production stories.

RM: At these prices ($855 gold), if a guy doesn’t have a production story, he’s got moose pasture.

TGR: Do you have some stocks that you would feel comfortable recommending readers own through this next time period, assuming that there’s going to be a crash?

RM: I do, but I'd rather not pretend I’m guru, which I’m not. There are lots of really wonderful stories out there. If a guy is about to go into production or has just gone into production, the numbers are out there. You can do some research; there’s 50, 100 or 200 really good stories. You could pretty much throw darts.

Rick Rule is absolutely correct; the period up ahead is going to be as easy to pick stocks as it was back in 2002, 2003 and 2004.

TGR: Are there any particular resource sectors that are more intriguing at this time?

RM: I think energy is pretty much a slam-dunk, depression or no depression. We have passed peak oil; it was May of 2005. It’s not a theory; you can go look at a production and say, “Okay, show me the production for the last 20 years,” and it peaked in 2005. It went down in 2006, it went down in 2007, and it’s going down in 2008. We can look forward to higher energy prices the rest of our lives. So, for a good oilfield services company, a good junior, a good country, Petrobras (Bovespa:PETR3/PETR4, NYSE: PBR/PBRA, Latibex: XPBR/XPBRA, BCBA: APBR/APBRA), the Brazilian national oil company, looks very good to me. It should be a very safe investment.

TGR: What’s your view on the ETFs?

RM: My view is totally contrary to most of the people in the gold sector. I think the ETFs are the most wonderful thing in the universe. They give everybody the opportunity to buy into a position—and it’s not just silver ETFs—it’s any kind of ETF, whatever it is that you believe you can buy, you can buy here.

Here’s what’s important to understand; there are no shares behind the S&P and the Dow ETFs. They are totally fictional investments, but their purpose is to set price in the same way of commodities. You know, actually, you have to trade commodities back and forth; you don’t have to deliver commodities; you don’t have to grow commodities. They have a commodities exchange because the real purpose of the commodities exchange is to set price.

So, the gold ETF is very good. If you want to buy some gold. . .bang, you buy the ETF. Years ago we had coin stores in every town; now it’s actually very hard to buy physical gold or silver. It’s very easy for anyone to buy a gold or silver ETF. In that aspect, the ETF is wonderful.

As far as actually being able to deliver gold, I don’t think it makes any difference any more than it does the ability to deliver Dow stocks. It’s a pricing mechanism, and from that point of view it’s a very good thing.

That said, I think the real crisis financially is in derivatives. There are $596 trillion dollars in over-the-counter derivatives. That’s 10 times the world’s GDP. That’s an enormous amount of paper assets that people believe they own. I think they are going to find out they don’t really own. The paper assets are simply going to evaporate.

TGR: Are you familiar with Central Fund of Canada (CEF-AMEX)?

RM: Yes, what they do is they hold physical silver and physical gold. What I really like about them, depending on the premium, is that you get a feel for how optimistic people are. Now, since the ETFs, the premium or the discount has decreased, but when it’s selling for 10, 12 or 15% premium, it tells you people are pretty optimistic.

TGR: Aren’t ETFs taxed like a commodity so there are no capital gains?

RM: The gold ETF (GLD) is taxed as a short-term gain even if it’s held long-term. I think that’s very foolish. It’s a fictional trade. Governments always hate gold and silver because it competes with their paper money. So, they come up with these absurd tax rules, and, of course, tax structure is important when you’re doing any investment.

TGR: But I think, if I am not mistaken, Central Funds is actually taxed like a stock, so if you do hold it for 12 months, you do get the capital gains.

RM: You could be right; I mean I can neither say that you’re right or wrong. It would be a good issue to look into.

TGR: Can you give us a couple of stocks that you are personally invested in that you like?

RM: I like stocks best when they’re cheap, and a stock changes depending on its price. As of today, ATW Venture Corp. (TSX.V:ATW), which has two really fabulous gold mines in Australia, is selling for 60 cents; the stock was selling for 60 cents before they did their first deal. Arian Silver Corp. (TSX-V: AGQ), which I wrote it up, was 14.5 cents on Friday; it’s 18 cents now; 131 million shares outstanding. They should have around 200 million ounces of silver.

So, you’re buying a stock at pennies. Any of the actual producing silver or near producing silver stocks — Great Panther Resources Limited (TSX: GPR), Endeavour Silver Corp. (EDR:TSX, EJD:DBFrankfurt, EXK:AMEX), Minco Silver Corp. (TSX: MSV) — they are all really good stories.

TGR: What do you think of the royalty companies like Royal Gold, Inc. (Nasdaq: RGLD), Franco-Nevada Corporation (TSX:FNV), or Vista Gold Corp. (TSX & AMEX: VGZ)?

RM: Franco-Nevada was the best gold mining stock in the world 10 years ago, and the new Franco-Nevada is run by the same people. So, it’s probably the best royalty company you will ever see. Any time you’re buying a stock, you’re not buying a stock; the facts about the numbers and the deposits and the production costs—they’re all meaningless. What you’re really doing is you’re buying the people. And Pierre Lassonde, who is chairman at Franco, he’s brilliant.

TGR: Bob, do you have any final comments?

RM: We are going to go into or we’re in the greatest transfer of wealth in world history. Everybody has a choice right now; they can either be rich five years from now or they can be poor five years from now. It’s entirely voluntary, and it depends on the decisions they make today.

liberty,
glaubst ich weiß, was der M. so immer meint....
aber das ist so eine Conclusio aus dem vorher gesagten.
Klar kommen Juniors unter die Räder. Nur wenn dann das mal durch ist, dann geht es los. siehe Homestake im Artikel.

timesystem,
mir ist das wirklich ziemlich egal.
Sollte es verschenkt werden, lass ich mir welches schenken..... heißt, ich kauf physisch....
Gut Gold auf 700. Was passiert dann? Viele minen gehen pleite, Produktionsverzögerungen etc.
Wir haben ja schon den beginn der Konsolidierung. Die wird passieren. So kriegt Kinross die ARU schon wirklich günstig.
Folge: Gold steigt
Folge: minen steigen, aber nun rasant.

Vorerst glaub ich, dass nächste Woche (eher gegen ende) mal eine Zwischenerholung angesagt ist.
War ja schon am Freitag wunderschön zu sehen bei einigen Aktien. Ask hoch, dann zum Schluss mit ein paar shares runter.
Oder bei CCE.V: zuerst Meldung, Aktie steigt. Dann gibt wer einen Deckel mit ca. 200t shares bei 0,55 drauf.
Mit ein paar shares Schluß dann bei 0,5.

Aus dem Yahoo Board ein Angestellter von Sterling Mexico:
Frage mich, ob da auch Source SOP.V betroffen ist. Ich glaub nicht. Kann das wer bestätigen?
Das ist schon ein besonderer Schweineladen!

Former Sterling De Mexico emloyee http://messages.finance.yahoo.…t=1&dir=b&ri=1014&t=c#sel 8-Aug-08 12:42 pmhttp://messages.finance.yahoo.…t=1&dir=f&ri=1014&t=c#sel
I wanted to take the time to tell investors our side.
A week before Mr. DeMotte was let go, Sterling De Mexico encountered trouble with surface owners; the surface owners blocked the passage of material to the plant under Sterling management. The plant had reserves to work for a time, and Mr. DeMotte was aware of the problem and the actions that where being implemented to fix the problem. After Mr. DeMotte was let go, management tried to contact Mr. Ken Berscht about a plan of action. Mr. Ken Berscht never contacted Mexico. With the aggressive attitude of Sterling US and the lack of plant feed, management decided while it still had capital to let go of its employees according to Mexican laws.

Sterling De Mexico was contacted the first business day after Mr. DeMotte was let go, by Mr. Jim Meek. He told Sterling De Mexico to send money to Sterling US. Mr. Meek was told the money in Sterling De Mexico account was to pay an upcoming payment due on San Acasio. The most important asset that Sterling De Mexico has. Recently Sterling De Mexico and Sterling US had signed an earn-in-agreement with Source for this property. Management told Mr. Meek that as per the agreement if Source paid this payment then that would free up that money set aside by Sterling De Mexico. Mr. Meek informed management that Source had already sent that money to the US and was already used on other items. Mr. Meek also informed that he needed Sterling De Mexico's money also. That money was sent. Never was the money resent and the payment for San Acasio was not made. There was a termination of contract by the original owner for lack of payment. Now Sterling does not control San Acasio.

Mr. Ken Berscht was an original board member of Source. When Source was being formed the original deal had founding shares going to Ing. Martin Sutti. There was a check to purchase those shares. Mr. Rick Tschauder convinced Ing. Sutti to have those stocks issued in Sterling De Mexico name and then reissued to Ing. Sutti. When the stock certificates where finally issued Mr. Ken Berscht denied any knowledge of this deal and took control of all shares.

The plant that was under Sterling De Mexico management, the original contract had the profits being split between Ing. Martin Sutti and Sterling US. The profits for Ing. Sutti where to be issued in shares of Sterling. No shares where ever issued. The surface land is owned by Martin Sutti. With the aggressive actions of Sterling US, Ing. Martin Sutti sued Sterling US for breach of contract. The plant is no longer operated by Sterling. In the law suit Ing Martin Sutti is asking a judge to freeze all assets of Sterling De Mexico. This includes all mining claims in Mexico.

With the lack of communication of the new management of Sterling US. Cedar Mountains has dropped its Letter of Intent. This was going to be a major deal for Sterling that included 600,000 usd this year in payments. Also included where guarantees of exploration.

There were multiple bids to purchase Sterling De Mexico. From every company that placed there bid the same response was given. Sterling US never had the decency to even recognize the bid much less negotiate with them.

Before any of this went downhill I again stress that multiple emails where sent to Mr. Ken Berscht by management of Sterling De Mexico. None where answered. Calls were made and messages were left without an answer.
