    Tara Gold Resources Projects Update
    Thursday September 18, 9:56 am ET
    CHICAGO, IL--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 18, 2008 -- Tara Gold Resources Corp. (Other OTC:TRGD.PK - News) (Frankfurt:T8N.F - News) is pleased to provide an update on its current pipeline of nine near production and exploration projects in Mexico.
    Tara Gold is currently focused on closing the San Miguel sale; start-up of Gold/Silver/Copper production at Lluvia de Oro; start-up of Zinc/Lead/Silver production at Don Ramon and Lourdes; and assessing opportunities to advance Picacho and La Currita.
    Tara Gold also owns equity positions in some of its past/present partners and 80% of Tara Minerals Corp. (OTC BB:TARM.OB - News), a public US company which explores and develops high-quality non-precious metals and mineral projects in Mexico.
    Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., President of Tara Gold Resources, stated, "I believe Tara offers investors excellent value and exposure to growth with a diversified portfolio of both precious metals and base metals properties. With multiple multi-million ounce targets and near term production scenarios, Tara Gold is well positioned and offers tremendous value. A summary of our projects can be found below. I would also like to use this opportunity to express my support and appreciation for the new rules announced by the SEC yesterday to protect investors against noncompliant and naked short selling. Management believes its shareholders have suffered share value due to these factors and looks forward to seeing the SEC implement penalties sufficient to discourage such practices. We also trust they will carefully review the role Market Makers may be playing to enable these practices."
    Project updates are provided below.


    San Miguel, Chihuahua, Mexico
    Significant Silver/Gold Discovery -- 104 million inferred silver equivalent ounces and growing
    On August 27, 2008, Tara Gold sold its interest in the San Miguel project to Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. for 7.35 million common shares of Paramount. The transaction is expected to close during September 2008. Through the share holdings, Tara is positioned to benefit as the deposit continues to grow. Positive drill results, such as 10.3 g/t gold across 10.3 meters, continue to be announced with the discovery of a second high grade area. As a 13% holder of Paramount, Tara is also positioned to benefit from Paramount's additional regional holdings. Please visit http://www.paramountgold.com for additional information.


    Lluvia de Oro, Sonora, Mexico
    Gold/Silver/Copper Mine -- nearing production
    Tara Gold has a 20% Net Cash Flow interest from the processing plant and continues to work with NWM Mining Corporation, its partner, to bring the former producing mine back to commercial production. NWM recently announced that the ongoing commissioning and ADR plant tune-up initiatives resulted in the pouring of its first gold doré button. The amount of crushed ore on the new heap is now approximately 185,000 tonnes and about 75% of the stacked ore has been placed under leach. Work has begun on the application for an explosives permit, required for future mining in the abandoned open pit mine. Please visit http://nwmcorp.ca for additional information.


    Don Ramon and Lourdes, Sinaloa, Mexico (Tara Minerals Corp.)
    Zinc/Lead/Silver Mine -- nearing production
    Tara Gold owns 80% (30 million shares) of Tara Minerals (OTC BB:TARM.OB - News) which is currently focused on bringing its 100% owned Don Ramon and Lourdes property, a high grade, Zinc, Lead and Silver project, into production. We are awaiting the completion of the processing plant. Mining will be focused on 7 areas which contain a combined average grade at the face of 11% Zn, 2.95% Pb and 409 g Ag/tonne. The plant is expected to produce at a capacity of 300 tonnes per day with expansion to 500 tonnes per day within one year. The concentrate produced will be sold at approximately 85% of commodity market prices. Plant commissioning is expected within the next quarter. Please visit http://taraminerals.com for additional information.


    La Currita, Temoris, Mexico
    Gold and Silver Mine -- nearing start-up
    Tara Gold owns 100% of the La Currita mine and plant. The existing plant is capable of processing at a rate of approximately 300 tonnes per day. Management is currently assessing several available options to advance the property towards a 43-101 reserve estimation. In addition, the recommencement of production at La Currita is being considered once commercial production begins at Don Roman. Concentrate from La Currita will be shipped to Don Roman and sold, under the same terms, to established wholesale buyers. Two parallel mineralized vein systems have been identified -- the Sulema I and Sulema II. The head grade from the underground clean-up and Sulema II vein averages 200 g/t silver and 1.2 g/t gold while the open pit grades are significantly higher, reaching 750 g/t silver and 12 g/t gold and higher. Sampling has already shown the Sulema I vein to be at least 1,000 m long and is currently open in all directions. La Currita is located adjacent to Palmarejo (recently sold for US$1.1 billion) with some of the same vein systems continuing into La Currita. Given the consistency of the veins, the potential for significantly increasing the tonnage at La Currita is excellent.



    Picacho, Sonora, Mexico
    Gold and Silver Mine and Plant -- assessing partnership interest
    Tara Gold owns 100% of the Picacho Gold and Silver Mine which includes rolling stock and an extensive processing facility currently capable of processing 250 tonnes per day. The previous owners mined an up to 5 m wide vein structure for 3 years by driving a 5 m by 5 m ramp declining 8% extending over 1 km in length. Production came from several working faces averaging 4-6 m in width. Phase I drilling in June 2007 yielded 11.28 m of 15.57 g/t gold and 32.41 g/t silver. The work confirmed and expanded upon historic data derived from 22 previous holes. It also identified the potential for parallel zones with a combined length of 8.5 kms. Picacho is located in close proximity to, and on trend, to the Mercedes project owned by Yamana Gold where extensive ongoing work is expected to result in significant 43-101 reserves. Tara is currently assessing partnership interest from various parties regarding Picacho.


    Las Minitas, Sonora, Mexico
    Gold and Silver Target
    Tara Gold owns 100% of Las Minitas. A gold-silver system has been uncovered at the Las Minitas property in south western Sonora State, Mexico. The mineralization corridor is believed to cover a minimum 3 km strike length and is approximately 100 m wide. The El Negro target intersected 3.12 g/t gold and 43.80 g/t silver over 24.5 m, including a 1 m section grading 26.07 g/t gold, 273.50 g/t silver. Historical information indicates that 3 zones of interest are present. Tara Gold is assessing options to advance this project.


    La Millonaria, Chihuahua, Mexico
    Gold and Silver Target
    Tara Gold owns 100% of La Millonaria, a 20-30 meter wide silicified and stockwork veined, east-west trending structure that can be traced on surface for a minimum distance of 600 m, with additional workings present up to 2 km along strike. Scattered prospects and adits are present along the structure and selective historical mining has reported recoveries of 10 g/t gold on average. Tara Gold is assessing options to advance this project.
    Curcurpe, Northern Sonora State, Mexico

  • Teil 2 zu TARA:


    Gold Target
    Tara Gold is currently reviewing all available data with regards to Curcurpe, located in the Curcurpe Mining District which hosts Carlin type gold deposits. The Curcurpe Project covers 2,250 hectares with multiple targets and historic mining over 1.5 km. There are high concentrations of gold-silver bearing vein deposits in the central and eastern parts of the Curcurpe District. Within Curcurpe, a vein structure has been traced for 3 km with grades between 1-8 g/t gold. Disseminated mineralization outside the main vein has shown grades of 1-2 g/t gold. Curcurpe is in close proximity to projects owned by Meridian and Penoles. Tara Gold is prioritizing its options regarding this property.


    Pilar De Mocoribo, Sinaloa, Mexico (Tara Minerals Corp.)
    Zinc/Lead/Silver Mine Property
    Tara Gold owns 80% (30 million shares) of Tara Minerals (OTC BB:TARM.OB - News) which controls 100% of Pilar De Mocoribo, a 1,260 hectares Zinc/Lead/Silver property. Preliminary evaluation identified a series of parallel NE trending mineralized structures that can be traced for more than 300 meters. The property lies 10 km SW of an advanced stage Cu-Ag-Au-Mo project. Three samples were collected on the initial property along the structures and returned 25.267% Pb and 15.334% Zn over an average strike length of 8 meters and a width of 1.5 meters. Silver values ranged from 44.81 g/t to 1,111.61 g/t. Additional mapping and sampling is planned before developing a comprehensive action plan to progress the property.

    "Arian Silver (AGQ) has a lot of shares outstanding at 131 million but already has proven up 80 million ounces of high-grade silver and silver equivalent. So you are buying 2/3s of an ounce of silver per share. An ounce of silver for $.15 is pretty cheap. I've been to the property and there is a lot more silver to be found. I'll guess they will find 200 million ounces and that brings the price of silver down to about $.05 an ounce. In 2003 similar companies were selling for $1 an ounce in the ground.
    Of all the companies I am writing about today, Arian has the worst cash position, about $900,000 but one of their silver projects is at an advanced scoping study stage. It could be put into production in about 6 months at a cost of perhaps $3.5 million. The company is more of a pure exploration company than I would prefer to be buying right now but it could turn into a production story using contract miners in short order.
    Bob Hoye has written a number of articles talking about the ratio between silver and gold. He has said that he believes the ratio could go as high as 100-1 in the financial crisis now unfolding. Silver is a commodity first while gold is money first. When we got back to a gold standard very soon because everything else has failed, silver is the metal that will be in the highest demand. That's when the ratio goes back to something like 16-1.
    Arian has the projects to be a major silver producer. If you really like silver, Arian has the highest leverage to silver. It could be a $2 stock with what they have right now in a favorable silver environment. Given that it was a $.09 stock on Friday last, you owe it to yourself to at least consider. It's my favorite silver stock right now because it's so cheap."

    High Number of Gold and Silver Mergers Forecasted


    by: FP Trading Desk posted on: September 23, 2008 |
    There will be an unprecedented wave of merger and acquisition activity in the gold and silver space that will see junior miners and development companies victimized by factors beyond their control and snatched up by senior and mid-tier producers making use of their healthy cash flows and stable balance sheets, according to a new report from Blackmont Capital.
    Analyst Richard Gray said in a research note:

    Zitat

    While there remain several junior companies with projects that are expected to ultimately be economic under the current gold price, a significant amount of upcoming mergers and acquisitions are likely to be done under the assumption that the gold price will increase in the longer-term.

    He said seniors like Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX) and Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM) are likely looking for immediate production, Kinross Gold Corp. (KGC) is trying to fill in its growth gaps, and names like Goldcorp Inc. (GG), Yamana Gold Inc. (AUY) and Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM) are seeking to capitalize on strong cash flows.
    At the same time, mid-tier gold producers like Eldorado Gold Corp. (EGO) may be trying to pick off geographically strategic development projects, while names like Iamgold Corp. (IAG) and New Gold Inc. (NGD) trying to meet stated goals of growth through acquisition.
    Junior producers like Semafo Inc. (SEMFF.PK) are also likely seeking more assets, with companies like Jaguar Mining Inc. (JAG) expected to take advantage of its strong balance sheet and Northgate Minerals Corp. (NXG) its strong cash flow, Mr. Gray noted.
    Mr. Gray said:

    Zitat

    We also expect the struggling junior market to look towards more mergers in order to gain the critical mass to be relevant. In the current uncertain market, investors look for size and liquidity and the one-project juniors typically do not provide these important characteristics.

    On Monday, First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (FQVLF.PK) said it is seeking takeovers after the credit crunch caused financing difficulties for its smaller competitors. Octagon Capital analyst Hendrik Visagie agrees with that approach, suggesting that cash rich juniors without projects in development seek tie-ups with juniors that have production but need financing to survive.
    Mr. Visagie said in a note:

    Zitat

    Cash and cash flow are king, juniors who do not have a large treasury and cash flow are having difficulty raising capital to finance their projects, even if they are extremely attractive.

    He believes it is cheaper to buy projects than to develop them, and recommends that investors look at names that are in a good position to use their balance sheets to acquire undervalued assets.
    Blackmont's Mr. Gray suggested that a three-way merger between Aurizon Mines Ltd. (AZK), Jaguar and Semafo, for example, would look a lot like Iamgold, but they would have a combined market cap roughly 38% lower. “In this market, bigger is quite likely to be considered better,” Mr. Gray said.
    In the silver sector, major players Fresnillo Plc (FNLPF.PK), Pan American Silver Corp. (PAAS), Silver Wheaton Corp. (SLW), Hecla Mining Co. (HL) and Coeur d’Alene Mines Corp. (CDE) are all said to be looking for opportunities in the devalued junior space. If any two or three of Pan American, Coeur d’Alene and Silver Standard Resources Inc. (SSRI) were to merge, this would create a big cap name that could compete with Fresnillo and possibly get some of the same big cap bias senior gold producers get, the analyst said.
    Mr. Gray recommends investing in larger producers such as Kinross and Yamana, saying they are not only potential targets for their larger rivals, but offer attractive valuations and generate strong cash flows. He also suggested clients have positions in Jaguar, First Majestic Silver Corp. (FRMSF.PK) and Silver Standard due to their healthy fundamentals and takeover potential.
    To demonstrate the mood of the market and how they are valuing miners’ resources, the analyst noted that senior gold names are trading at an average of $198 per ounce compared to $74 for the mid-tiers and $29 for the juniors. Senior silvers, meanwhile, trade at an average of $3.22 per ounce versus $0.98 for the juniors.
    While other factors come into play when an acquisition is being considered, Mr. Gray said this advantage is nonetheless important when justifying the premiums often seen in gold and silver deals.

  • Was bedeutet das für die Anleger?
    Die Übernahmekurse werden sicher nicht wesentlich höher liegen als die derzeitigen Kurse, also werden viele Anleger auf ihren Verlusten sitzenbleiben.
    Die Suche nach neuen Projekten dürfte sich evtl. positiv auf Firmen wie Globex auswirken, die dann leichter Partner für ihre Joint Ventures finden.
    Was meint ihr dazu?
    LG
    Liberty

  • Liberty01,


    ich halte die Argumentation - mit den Übernahmen- für nicht stichhaltig.
    Ohne 30-50% Prämie wird keine Übernahme klappen, egal wie die Marktverhältnisse sind.
    Klar, zu jetzigen oder sogar tieferen Kursen bedeutet das für viele Verlust gegenüber dem Einstandspreis.


    Globex halte ich trotzdem für uninteressant. Meine Meinung, sorry.

  • liberty,
    die Übernahmen werden billig....
    Wenn der Übernehmer gut ist, dann kann man es lassen.
    Obwohl ich dazu neige, da immer sofort zu verkaufen.


    Viele explorer stellen schon das drillen ein oder erwägen es.
    Was wiederum heißt, neue Gebiete werden nicht weiter entwickelt.
    Das macht aber wiederum die Bestehenden wertvoller.
    Gute Explorer, wo alles passt (selten!), werden Kometen.... :D


    Siehe Beispiel Yale von gestern und weil der Mainstream jetzt meint, es gehen nur mehr die Producer, was ich übrigens nicht abstreite.



    Der 700 Mrd. Deal ist durch. Liquididät ist auch bitter nötig.
    wird wohl nicht reichen, aber es verzögert das ganze, was allein schon positiv ist, weil diese verwerfungen sind ja nicht angenehm.


    Insgesamt sind wir da (das video ist ja nich so doll, aber Musik aus 1965 noch immer.....

    ECU Silver Signs Concentrate Sales Agreement
    Monday September 29, 12:22 pm ET


    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 29, 2008 - ECU Silver Mining (TSX:ECU - News; the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a contractual agreement with MK Metals Trading S.A. de C.V., a division of Nexxtrade ("MK Metals"), an international broker, for the sale of both our lead concentrates and our zinc concentrates. This is an important event for the Company as it underscores the ability of the Company to realize value for its lead and zinc concentrates in a market where sales of mineral concentrates to smelters has been very difficult and limited for several junior mining companies.
    Several months ago the Company opted to curtail the processing of mineralized material for a number of reasons including the fact that our mining efforts were beginning to interfere with our exploration activities in the region we were exploring at that time. Since then, our exploration has advanced to other areas and with the ongoing strength in commodity prices, we resumed the processing of our mineralized material. The Company's main focus continues to be on exploration and over the past several months we have reported tremendous successes with our exploration program and we expect to provide an updated N.I. 43-101 as soon as possible. Coincident with our recent exploration successes, we have been milling at our flotation plant in Velardena at an approximate rate of 200 tonnes per day (tpd) where we are generating a lead concentrate, a zinc concentrate and a pyrite/gold concentrate. The majority of our silver product is incorporated within the lead concentrate whereas the majority of our gold is within the pyrite/gold concentrate.
    The lead and zinc concentrates can be sold to various smelters around the world. As such, we have secured the sale of our concentrates through an international broker who can package several small quantities of concentrates from junior producers and offer global smelters concentrate packages in sizes that can essentially compete with major producers. In this way, these brokers can negotiate more attractive terms with the smelters thereby allowing small producers to obtain respectable prices for their concentrate.
    The Company has sold MK Metals an initial inventory of 400 tonnes of lead concentrates and 450 tonnes of zinc concentrates. The shipments started on Saturday and will be finished this week. The total value of these shipments will be approximately US$1.2 million.
    With regard to our gold/pyrite concentrate, we have conducted several metallurgical tests to optimize the Net Smelter Return (NSR) value of the pyrite/gold concentrate. We are in the process of evaluating certain options for this concentrate and once we have identified the best option we will report it to our shareholders. We currently have a pyrite/gold concentrate inventory of 7,000 tonnes containing approximately 5,000 ounces of gold and 35,000 ounces of silver.
    The ability to realize value for our concentrates is exceedingly important in that it provides additional integrity to the quality of our expanding mineral resource. We expect that the expansion of our mineral resource will incorporate the successful results we have announced over the past several months, namely; i) the discovery of both the western extension (press release dated August 29, 2007) and the eastern extension (press releases dated March 31 and May 28, 2008 of the main Terneras Vein on the main Velardena Property, ii) the discovery of a new vein at Chicago (press release dated May 8, 2008 which provides ongoing evidence of the exploration potential on the Chicago Property, iii) very encouraging results at our San Diego joint venture property (press release dated June 23, 2008 and iv) our most exciting discovery this year, the massive sulphide lenses at depth (press release dated July 9, 2008 which we believe are located very close to the intrusive which created the source of mineralization for the extensive system of veins at Santa Juana on the main Velardena Property.
    Additional Information:
    ECU Silver Mining Inc. is focused on the exploration, development and mining of gold, silver and base metals at its Velardena District Properties in Durango, Mexico. The area is comprised of three properties, the Main Velardena Property, the Chicago Property and the San Diego Property. The properties are located near to each other and include five historical mines - Santa Juana, Terneras, San Mateo, San Juanes, and the San Diego mine. ECU's goal is to establish a significant polymetallic mineral resource in the heart of Mexico. ECU's mission is to become a pre-eminent silver and gold producer through the development of existing, and additional potential resources at Velardena.

  • Exmin hat 2 Joint Ventures unter Dach gebracht.


    Genau das Richtige zur Zeit.
    Die Bedingungen, bzw, cash sind lausig, aber wenn was entdeckt wird, ist es o.k.
    Und es wird, sind ja sehr gute properties.


    EXMIN Options East Durango Property to Quaterra Resources
    Tuesday September 30, 8:30 am ET
    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 30, 2008 -- EXMIN Resources Inc. (EXMIN) (CDNX:EXM.V - News) is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter agreement with Quaterra Resources Inc. (CDNX:QTA.V - News)(QMM - News) (Quaterra) to joint venture EXMIN's East Durango Property, Mexico. The East Durango property consists of the 11,181-hectare Tecolote concession which is 100%-owned by EXMIN's Mexican subsidiary, EXMIN SA de CV. EXMIN's Tecolote concession abuts and is directly north of Quaterra's Mirasol-Americas projects, which are adjacent to the east boundary of Hecla Mining's San Sebastian Project.
    Under the terms of the agreement, Quaterra can earn a 75% interest in the East Durango property by spending $500,000 U.S. in exploration plus annual payments to EXMIN that total $100,000 U.S. over a four-year period.
    According to Tom Turner, Quaterra's Manager of Mexican Exploration, "This acquisition allows Quaterra to consolidate a large strategic land block in the center of the Mexican Silver Belt, a mining-friendly area of past and present silver and gold production with excellent infrastructure."
    Karl Boltz, Co-founding President, CEO and Director of EXMIN, stated, "We are pleased to be able to participate in a joint venture with a quality company like Quaterra. Exploration activity in this part of Mexico is booming after several major discoveries in the past few years. EXMIN positioned itself in this area in 2006, by staking the Tecolote concession over a known exploration target."
    The Target
    The East Durango project is located in the center of the Mexican Silver Belt, one of the most active exploration areas in Mexico due to major discoveries such as Penasquito and the nearby ECU property. The property was explored in the 1990's by Laminco and its joint venture partner, Carlin Gold. These companies identified large geochemical soil anomalies for gold, as well as the indicator elements arsenic, antimony and mercury, in an area with geologic characteristics similar to the sedimentary rock hosted gold deposits of Nevada. EXMIN performed reconnaissance mapping and sampling of the property in late 2006.
    About Quaterra
    Quaterra Resources Inc. is a junior exploration company, listed on the TSX-V (QTA) and AMEX (QMM), focused on making significant mineral discoveries in North America. The Company uses in-house expertise and its pipeline of consultants, prospectors and industry contacts to identify, acquire and evaluate prospects in mining-friendly jurisdictions with the potential to host large and/or high-grade base, precious metal or uranium deposits.


    EXMIN and Canarc Resource Finalize Santiago Joint Venture at Batopilas, Chihuahua, Mexico
    Tuesday September 30, 12:00 pm ET
    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 30, 2008 -- EXMIN Resources Inc. (EXMIN) (CDNX:EXM.V - News) is pleased to announce the signing of the definitive agreement with Canarc Resource Corp. (Canarc) (Toronto:CCM.TO - News) for a joint venture option on a portion of its 45,000 hectare Batopilas project land holdings. A letter agreement was originally signed in September, 2007. EXMIN has received 15,000 Canarc shares and a payment of US$25,000 as part of the agreement.
    Canarc can acquire up to a 75% interest in a 791 hectare portion of EXMIN's Huimayvo concession (hereafter termed the "Santiago Fraction"), which surrounds the 171 hectare Santiago Gold Project, by issuing 15,000 common shares (issued), paying US$25,000 cash to EXMIN after year 1 (paid) and spending up to US$1 million on the project over 5 years. After vesting, Canarc and EXMIN intend to form a joint venture to continue the exploration and development of the Santiago Fraction.
    Karl Boltz, Co-founding President, CEO and Director of EXMIN, stated, "We are pleased to finalize the joint venture with Canarc. Exploration work has been delayed due to the spinoff of Caza Gold, but the company is now prepared to aggressively explore the project."
    The Target
    The exploration target at the Santiago project consists of precious metal bearing epithermal veins within a wider lower grade alteration zone; eight parallel, gold-bearing, quartz-sulfide veins have been identified. Canarc geologists channel sampled three of the eight known veins yielding consistently high grade gold assays, including 30.3 grams per metric ton (g/t) gold over 2.3 metres (m) in the Veta Blanca, 7.0 g/t gold over 5.0 m in the Veta Tajos and 17.7 g/t gold over 2.5 m in the Veta Verde.
    One of the prominent alteration zones trends onto the Santiago Fraction being optioned from EXMIN and may represent a high level extension of the high grade gold veins exposed at lower elevations on the Santiago properties. Canarc is undertaking an initial exploration program of geological mapping and rock sampling at the Santiago and newly acquired Santiago Fraction properties in order to delineate targets for drilling.
    The Santiago prospect may be related to the regional scale structure that extends northward from the formerly producing Tres Hermanos mine to EXMIN's 100% owned La Verde prospect. Surface sampling by EXMIN along the structural zone exposed on the La Verde concession has yielded values of as much as 7.65 grams per metric ton (g/t) gold and 4% copper over 3 metres, and 5.67 g/t gold and 5.9% copper over 3.4 metres, as well as locally important silver, zinc and lead values.

    Hallo Tschonko


    Irgendwo in grauer Fernseh Vorzeit gab es eine Sendung "Das ideale Brautpaar" oder sowas...


    Da hätte man gesagt "Ein Punkt für Witz und Aufrichtigkeit." ;)


    Aber richtiger wäre eine andere Bewertung, für Trauer und Erstaunen oder so....
    Die PM Aktienmärkte sind schon kein Trauerspiel mehr, sondern Tragödien.


    Apropos: Lohnt ein Blick auf EXM, + div. andere wieder ??

    Excellon starts building Platosa mill


    The permits are in for Excellon Resources (EXN-T) to build a new lead/zinc flotation mill at its high-grade Platosa mine in Durango State, Mexico, where silver, lead and zinc have been mined since April 2005.


    In that time, crushed ore has been shipped 45 km to the Naica mill in Chihuahua State, owned by Industrias Penoles Group, which buys the ore based on assays.


    Construction of the 350-tonne per day plant is supposed to start immediately and the company expects to commission the mill during the first quarter of 2009. Excellon hopes to double production from Platosa with the increased production rate (current production is 200 tonnes per day) and improve recoveries.


    Lead and zinc concentrates will be shipped to the world market from the mine site while silver ore will still be sent to the Naica mill. The company says processing lead and zinc on site will help cut operating costs. Excellon expects to recover the $10-million cost of the mill within a year's time.


    In the nine months ended April 30, 2008, the company produced 1.2 million oz. silver, 8.2 million oz. lead and 9.2 million oz. zinc.


    The mine has an indicated resource of 417,000 tonnes grading 1,060 grams silver per tonne, 9.3% lead and 9.8% zinc and an inferred resource of 72,700 tonnes grading 758 grams silver, 9.2% lead and 9.7% zinc.


    Excellon says Platosa is one of the highest-grade producing silver, lead and zinc deposits in all of Mexico. The company says it has enough ore to continue the test-mine operation for eight years without the new mill and for about four years with the new mill.


    The company is working hard to expand resources but has decided to slash its operating costs in the wake of the world credit crisis by getting rid of two of four diamond drills on site.


    This will save about $4 million, cutting 2009 exploration costs to $8.4 million. Another $1 million in other expense cuts is also planned.


    The deposit is a carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) made up of pods and lenses called mantos of massive and semi-massive to disseminated silver-lead-zinc sulphides.


    Since the last estimate, Excellon has found more mineralization. In August, the company reported results from 28 holes, 12 with strong grades.


    Drilling returned a 6.41-metre intersection grading 1,192 grams silver per tonne, 13.7% lead and 23.8% zinc in the south-central Guadalupe manto, which is accessible from existing underground development.


    Another hole, 15 metres away, returned 5.55 metres grading 856 grams silver 9.8% lead and 14.8% zinc.


    In May, Excellon had to stop mining due to a water-inflow problem that happened when a pilot hole from a new ventilation raise was being enlarged. The company was able to seal off the inflow and get the mine up and running again within a month or so.


    Excellon shares were down 7¢ today to 58¢ apiece on a trading volume of 163,000 shares. The company has 159.2 million shares outstanding, a 52-week high of $1.98 and a low of 45¢.

  • Hochschild ist da das problem, die zahlen Exmin null für Morris produktion.
    Geht alles in Gerät und mine.
    da stehst dann blöd da als JV Partner.


    Im übrigen machen sie dasselbe bei Minera Andes. Nur die halten das wegen mehr Cash besser aus.

    It's a smelter's market - Artikel im NorthernMiner


    Smelters in Mexico suddenly have the upper hand when making deals with small miners on concentrate shipments ;( , says the president of ECU Silver Mining (ECU-T).


    Stephen Altmann says ECU's Mexican staff talked to a lot of people before making a concentrate sales agreement for its Valaderna silver-lead-zinc project in Durango state.


    "If you're a small producer it's very difficult to get the attention of the big smelters," Altmann says.


    ECU stopped its 200-tonne per day operation last fall because mining and exploration were beginning to interfere with one another. Production resumed in March but it wasn't until recently that the company struck a deal.


    "We could've made less money on more onerous terms had we decided to sell it right away but our guys have a tremendous amount of experience in this area so they weren't about to accept the first terms that came to the table," Altmann says.


    Altman says the challenge in finding a new sales agreement was unexpected because commodity prices were on the rise last fall.


    "We didn't expect there'd be any issues," Altmann says. "So the fact that the smelter markets had tightened that rapidly surprised us."


    ECU has made a deal with MK Metals Trading, a division of Nexxtrade, which will act as a broker for the company. The broker will sell its lead concentrate, which includes silver, and zinc concentrate by packaging it with concentrates from other junior producers. A deal will then be made with global smelters, enabling a group of small companies to compete with major producers.


    "The smelters in the area have historically been operating below capacity, so once they start operating at capacity they can become more selective in their dealings in purchases of concentrate," Altmann explains. "And the bigger and mores steady state you are in terms of your concentrate production, the more attractive that is to smelters."


    The company has sold its current inventory of 400 tonnes of lead concentrate and 450 tonnes of zinc concentrate for about US$1.2 million.


    ECU also produces a pyrite-gold concentrate but is still working on improving the quality of it to raise the net smelter return value. The company has run some metallurgical tests and currently has an inventory of 7,000 tonnes containing about 5,000 oz. gold and 35,000 oz. silver.

    ECU counts on in its production revenue to help pay for its exploration program.
    The company plans to update its mineral resource estimate by the end of the year. Over a span of three years the company increased resources from about 25 million silver-equivalent oz. to 200 million oz.


    Measured and indicated resources from the Velardena project, which includes three properties and four mines, is 3.7 million tonnes grading 2.29 grams gold per tonne and 126.2 grams silver for 34.3 million silver equivalent oz. including gold and silver, plus 3.3 million sliver equivalent oz. of lead, zinc and copper.


    Inferred resources stand at 13.7 million tonnes grading 2.01 grams gold per tonne and 185.7 grams silver per tonne for a total for 139.5 million silver equivalent oz. including gold and silver plus 39.5 million silver equivalent oz. of lead, zinc and copper.


    Altmann says the active exploration program and large resource helps make the company appear in a favourable light to smelters.


    "The advantage they may see with us is that in the long run when we start putting together a larger facility, we will become one of those larger, steady-state producers."


    For now though, ECU has an open agreement whereby it builds up its concentrate inventory and then sells it in batches. "It's more convenient for everyone," Altmann says.


    By the end of 2008, ECU will have drilled 25,000 metres on its Valardena properties.


    Silver mineralization tends to start at about 200 metres depth and the old mine workings extend to about 500 metres depth. The company's current resource extends as far down as 900 metres below surface but drilling has detected mineralization as far deep as 1,400 metres.


    The deepest drill hole, which extended for 900 metres was four inches in diameter, was drilled to test the continuity of the Santa Juana vein system, specifically the A4 massive sulphide vein. The result was a 12.04 metre-intercept grading 3.66 grams gold per tonne, 295 grams silver, 7.87% lead and 12.07% zinc


    Altmann says the company hopes to find more mineralization at depth.


    "The odds that you would hit that zone are so low, it's inconceivable that there isn't much more down there," he says. "Maybe we're lucky and maybe that's it, but the probability that that's the only massive sulphide that far away … is almost impossible."
