Seite 2 Plan beachten: erscheint als gute Ergänzung.

PHASE 1 DRILL PROGRAM COMMENCES
James McDonald, P. Geo., President of Genco Resources Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange GGC)
announces the commencement of a 1,000 meter surface drill program at Genco’s wholly-owned mining properties in the Temascaltepec Mining District of Mexico. The diamond drill program will be focused on an area adjacent to La Guitarra Mine, a 2 ½ hour drive southwest of Mexico City.
La Guitarra is a profitable mine, producing silver and gold. The current production rate is 150 tonnes of ore per day (tpd). The first of three surface drill programs planned for this year is being undertaken to increase the mineral resource in the immediate area of the Mine. An increased resource will support Genco’s plan to increase the mill throughput to 350 tpd. As an interim step, Genco plans to increase production to 200 tpd during the second quarter of 2006.
The footwall veins are an untested target close to the existing mine infrastructure. This drill program will test about 400 meters of the 600 meter strike length of the target veins.

The area to be drilled is a high priority drill target for a number of reasons:
• Proximity to existing mine infrastructure, • Geochemical signature of veins consistent with stopes producing silver and gold,
• Strike changes in the footwall veins indicate intersecting cross faults, a key feature controlling mineralization in the mine. The drill program is being conducted by Kluane Drilling of British Columbia, Canada under the supervision of Mr. James McDonald, P. Geo. (a qualified person, for the purposes of NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects). Core size will be NQ. Any samples taken will be sawn in half. One-half will be prepped in the lab at the minesite and shipped to an accredited
third party lab for analysis by ICP with AA finish for gold and silver. Over limit samples will be reanalyzed using a gravimetric fire assay for gold and either a fire assay with gravimetric finish of an acid digestion with an AA finish for silver. The remaining half of the core sample will be
retained for future reference.

Frage ist ja auch, was die Minen machen werden. Meine mal, sehr unterschiedlich.........

It’s Over

Wallace, Idaho (5th April 2006) – It’s over. There is no more bear party: their party has ended. Their musical chairs are not emitting music anymore. Anyone with any sense has sat down. The paradigm shift has, well, it has shifted. If you want that one last chair, and love to gamble, then hold out for $9 silver or $500 gold. Otherwise, acquire all you can at $11 or $600, grab a chair and call it a good day’s work.

Divest yourself of any company with a hedge book. Flee from the shorts and the derivatives, the liars and the thieves. They may have made you money in the short run, but in the long run they will kill you, even as Kinross and Barrick are dying now. Hide behind a metal shield as any good warrior from Egyptian times forward has learnt to do, and do it quickly. Aim straight and fire true the first time. Or at least fire first. You can always re-aim while your enemy is trying to figure out where you came from.

Expect some violent corrections, as a market change of this magnitude is not without its turbulence. It’s why they put seat-belts in airplanes. You will attain your advertised cruising altitude, but not without a bit of chop along the way.

Here’s how we know the bulls are in town: the cheapest sumbitches on the planet, Teck Cominco, are in Wallace this week offering jobs at Pogo, near Fairbanks, Alaska, dropping off business cards at every watering hole in town. Two years ago Silver Valley miners would have crawled through broken glass to rustle there; now they’re being offered first-class seats.

Does this mean silver has nowhere else but up to go? No. The tea leaves tell us we’re in for a nasty and violent correction, perhaps as early as next week. Look for a test of $8.50 or even $7. But because we are in a bull market, this correction, however violent, will be brief. We got out of the March doldrums unscathed, but don’t think there’s not a payback coming our way.

Try to buy physical silver right now at $10, or even $11. The cheap stuff’s gone. Maybe all gone. The Arabs and the Russians and the Chinese are converting their paper US cash into something fungible. This is not about the Hunts cornering the market. It’s about real people who are selling their real assets, and who want something real in return. They are far beyond the reach of the Federal Reserve this time – unlike the Hunts, who played by the Fed’s rules and got screwed by the CFTC.

The fundamentals are piling up. There is huge leverage to this market, even with a crash down to $7. Get it now, while it’s cheap. The Fednote is in a graveyard spiral from which there is no recovery. The world has figured out that printing presses cannot make gold, silver or gasoline.

Hedging ist nicht das um und auf, obwohl ich persönlich ja strikt dagegen bin.
Eher MC im Verhältnis zu Produktion und Reserven zu welchen Kosten!
Ist aber eine schwierige Rechnung.

Lupo hat ja schon das Beispiel mit Macmin gebracht.

Hier wird für EXN.V auch gerechnet. Lesenswerter Artikel!
http://silverstrategies.com/story.aspx?local=0&id=3560

Für Genco kann man es selber probieren. Die MC dürfte etwas höher sein als hier angegeben.
http://www.silverstrategies.co…leNewIE.aspx?ticker=GGC.V
Da lob ich mir die, die einen gewissen Goldanteil haben.
Der reißt heraus. Die Inferred runden ab.....

Für mich ist das Problem noch ein anderes, da kaum Aktien über Jahresfrist, alle in der Speku.

Könnte eine sehr zähe Korrektur werden und in den Ausschlägen für einzelne Aktien schwindelerregend, in beide Richtungen.
Produktionskosten werden auch zu beachten sein, wenn der Silberpreis fällt.

Grüße
Tschonko

@edel,
die liste sagt mir nicht wirklich was.
Weiß nicht, worauf ich speziell schauen soll.

Zu Gewinne ziehen: über die Korrektur drüber ohne Steuer zu zahlen ist auch eine Möglichkeit.
Darum hab ich im Frühjahr auch gute werte schnell wieder verkauft, wenn sie nicht schnell gestiegen sind, um den Polstereffekt zu erreichen.
Z.B. Fortuna: gekauft 22.2.06: auf über 70% Plus, jetzt 30%. Hab also immer noch 30% polster. Den kann ich aussitzen, wenn bei der Aktie selbst nichts passiert.

Keine Meinung zum Excellon Artikel?
Ich finde, da kann man sehr gut die Risiken einschätzen. Sind ja nicht viele dabei.

Addicted to Abcourt

(Note: We had promised readers that we’d publish a detailed review of our visit to Abcourt Mines a week ago, but like a kitten with a ball of yarn dangled in front of it, we got distracted by silver prices and out popped an unrelated screed. Here is the promised rant.)

Wallace, Idaho – In this business there are people plays and there are property plays. It’s said, wisely, that good managers can work a miracle out of a marginal property. It’s said also, and equally wisely, that bad managers can ruin even the best of properties.

So, see a great property, investigate it carefully. Find great people, play them. Not often does one get the both in the same lot. Enter Abcourt Mines (ABI.V), or as they say in Quebec, Mines Abcourt: a property play and a people play. And unlike a lot of the offerings out there, Abcourt is not just a one-trick pony. By this time next year they’ll be producing silver and zinc from their Abcourt-Barvue open-cast operations near Val-d’Or, Quebec, a stone’s toss north of the Cadillac Fault.

Underground development of the Vendome-Barvallee silver-zinc mine from an already-driven ramp just to Abcourt-Barvue’s west, and deep-level exploration from Abcourt’s Elder gold mine’s 2,500-foot shaft an hour’s highway drive west near Rouyn-Noranda will be funded from earnings from the Abcourt-Barvue pit. Three mines (one entering production in 2Q 2007) and three overlapping metals. That’s not a one-trick pony: it’s a hat-trick.

David Zurbuchen, a fellow silver writer, recently crunched Abcourt’s reserve numbers and came up with this: each share of Abcourt (trading around 80 cents U.S. right now) represents reserves of 15.2 pounds of zinc, a half ounce of silver, and .004 ounce of gold. (You can see David’s math, and his comparison of Abcourt’s numbers to those of the popularly-traded Yukon Zinc, at his website here.)

However, in terms of reserves and resources there’s much more to the story. It gets better. Abcourt’s currently published numbers of 21 million ounces of silver and 300,000 tons of zinc from an orebody of 2.393 million tons grading 3.69 percent zinc and 2.02 opt silver are based on an NI 43-101-compliant feasibility study performed by Roche of Montreal in 1999 and based on 1999 mid-level price projections and 1999 exploration data. Back then, zinc was running 53 cents a pound and silver was optimistically forecast to hit $7. Nevertheless Roche found a profitable operation. And the report obviously didn’t reflect the results of last year’s extensive 46-hole diamond-drilling program along the 1.6-mile-long Abcourt-Barvue vein.

Abcourt has recalculated its reserve figures based on current silver and zinc prices and the new diamond-drill data, and shipped them off for 43-101 compliance review. Once that’s done the new figures can be made public; expect a press release by month’s end. Can you guess which direction their legally-reportable reserves of zinc and silver are going to go? We can. So the ensuing updated feasibility study will be a no-brainer.

Let’s add another component as well. Abcourt doesn’t need to buy anything to fire back up. Rather than dumping their LHDs, haul trucks and other heavy equipment, they cleaned the stuff up and mothballed it. All any of those giant rigs needs to fire back up is a tank of diesel and a battery. The value of the company’s on-site mining equipment, including a since-installed 350-horse double-drum hoist at the Elder, is roughly equivalent to their current market cap.

Operationally, Abcourt will presently begin de-watering the original pit, which first produced zinc for the U.S. government under contract from 1952 to 1957 by a predecessor, and then zinc and silver as an underground operation from 1985-1990 by Abcourt Mines, serving up 2.67 million ounces of silver and 34,850 tons of zinc in that latter period. Also this summer, stripping of 30 feet or less of overburden will commence along the 1.6-mile vein structure preparatory to an additional five pits down the road. First-year production will be on the order of 1,800 metric tons per day grading 3.5 percent zinc and between 2 and 3 ounces of silver. Deduct mining and processing costs and you’re looking at net income of about 40 cents per share next year – on an 80-cent stock! (Although don’t expect a dividend cheque just yet: that money will be going back into the ground to bring the Elder and its adjacent Tagami gold claims up to snuff with an eye toward doubling that mine’s current reserves of 700,000 tons grading 0.2 opt gold.)

Those are the ponies. Now meet the jockeys.

We caught up with Abcourt President and CEO Renaud Hinse on a sunny day at the Elder Mine late in March, bent intently over engineering and geological maps of Abcourt’s properties, calculator and pencil at hand, checking his own math one more time before the 43-101 guys in Montreal got hold of it. He possesses the expansive persona of the vindicated miner, the man of faith who has held on when others might have lost their grip, kept his equipment and properties up and running when the temptation was strong to let go, who grew and harvested trees just to keep the taxes and the assessments paid up.

The Quebec native’s five decades as a hard-rock miner cover the gamut, beginning with degrees in mining engineering at Laval University in Quebec City and the metallurgical sciences at the Royal Technical College in Glasgow, Scotland. Hinse can trace his roots back to pilgrims kidnapped from Massachusetts and hauled to Canada for ransom in the 18th Century, and to a Lewis & Clark Expedition-era guide for whom a river in Idaho, the Bruno, is named.

Seeing that there might be life after retirement, Renaud Hinse (he is Mister or Monsieur Hinse to his associates, even well beyond earshot) began during the later years of his career acquiring properties and companies; Abcourt separately from the Elder. In the post-1990 down times he repaired to his home outside of Montreal for two weeks out of the month, then drove the eight hours up to Rouyn-Noranda to spend two weeks babysitting his mines and their equipment, finding ways to raise the $100,000 a year necessary to keep everything together without watering the company’s stock.

Along the way Monsieur Hinse developed a working relationship with 49-year-old geologist Yves Gagnon, a bearded engineer and professional geologist and fellow Quebecois. Gagnon formerly was president of Geospex Sciences, Inc., which consulted to such companies in the region as Barrick and specialized in geology, mining, environmental and project management. To Renaud Hinse’s reserve, Gagnon is a firebrand, a racehorse straining at the reins. Earlier this year, Hinse named Gagnon Abcourt’s vice-president, ensuring a line of succession in the company. Gagnon will be in charge of day-to-day operations of Abcourt Mines. Breakfast with the pair of them is a study of intensity: they have thought this thing out.

Now, lastly, to the racetrack. Abcourt’s three properties are located along Quebec’s Cadillac Fault in the Val-d’Or District in misnomered northwest Quebec. We say misnomered because it’s actually southwestern Quebec, not far from the U.S. and Ontario borders. With the possible exception of certain parts of Nevada, this is the most mining-friendly district in North America – so mining-friendly, for example, that if you want to extend your underground mining operations to opencast, the nearby town will gladly relocate to get out of your way. The province of Quebec provides huge tax incentives for exploration, and should times get tough, will allow you a tax-loss carry-forward to mothball your workings and mill. Several big players are there, either producing or developing, including Agnico-Eagle, Cambior, Century, Richmont, Breakwater and Falconbridge. There is ample milling and smelting capacity in the region to render transportation costs negligible. Would we go mining there? You betcha.

As a final caveat: This writer owns no shares in Abcourt Mines, nor has he ever. But ask us in a few weeks, after all that 43-101 stuff becomes compliant, and the answer may well be different. Meantime, Abcourt shares appear to be hugely popular in Europe and Australia. Only North America hasn’t caught on. Can we help that?

ATH bei EXN.V und FR.V!

Dafür kommt FSR nicht in die Gänge, was mich wundert, sollte es doch mict FR.v mitgehen.?????

Orko Silver OK.V, wie neulich angedeutet, der nächste 1$ Wert?
Schon 0,91C$. plus 19%.

Und ECU, schon unheimlich, aber die werden noch viel mehr finden, sind erst so die Hälfte der Bohrlöcher als press release heraußen.

Fortuna endlich auch wieder stark.

Sterling SRLM.PK wird in D stark empfohlen, wird auch eine Welle nach oben geben. mehr als 12%

Bei ABI.V wirkt der Bond. Artikel (siehe hier Posting heute!)

HiHo Silber
T.

@edel,
na klar, kann nicht alle aufzählen

FSR: vor einiger Zeit war aber vor der übernahme, wenn ich mich nicht irre. Sah ich auch so.

Seither sehe ich es anders, mit der FR-Brille, und da hab ich dann gekauft. Mir ist wurscht, wo die hingehen, aber ich krieg jetzt zu einem günstigen preis zukünftige FR.V - Aktien. Langfristig gedacht.

Grüße
T.
