    Apex Silver Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results
    DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - August 12, 2008) - Apex Silver Mines Limited (AMEX: SIL) today
    announced results for the second quarter 2008.
    HIGHLIGHTS


    • Ramp-up Throughput. San Cristóbal concentrator throughput for
      the second quarter averaged 34,000 tonnes per day, approximately 85% of the
      40,000 tonnes per day design capacity. The key focus is now on the final
      ramp up to consistent 40,000 tonnes per day throughput and improvements to
      metals recovery.
    • Production. Production from San Cristóbal for the second
      quarter 2008 totaled approximately 84,000 tonnes of zinc concentrate and
      23,000 tonnes of lead concentrate, containing approximately 4.2 million
      ounces of payable silver, 42,000 tonnes of payable zinc and 15,000 tonnes
      of payable lead.
    • Sales. Revenues totaled $60 million for the second quarter.
      Concentrates sold contained approximately 1.6 million ounces of payable
      silver, 26,500 tonnes of payable zinc and 5,400 tonnes of payable lead. The
      company received an additional $53 million in the second quarter for
      concentrates shipped in the second quarter, which was recorded as deferred
      revenue. This amount, net of market adjustments, will be recorded as sales
      in the third quarter when risk of loss passes at the port of
      destination.
    • Operating Costs. The company has adopted a new presentation for
      cash costs. Average cash operating costs for the quarter, which includes
      the mining royalty (complementary mining tax), were $1.42 per ounce for
      silver or $0.24 per pound for zinc produced. For the six months ending June
      30, 2008 average cash operating costs were $0.43 per ounce silver or $0.26
      per pound zinc. Average cash operating costs include byproduct credits.
      Operating costs were adversely affected by increased costs for diesel fuel,
      reagents and other consumables.
    • Gain on Metal Derivatives. The company recorded for the second
      quarter a $223 million mark to market gain related to its metal derivative
      positions, which is primarily the result of declining lead and zinc prices
      during the period.
    • Income from Operations. Income from operations totaled $204
      million, including the $223 million gain on metal derivative
      positions.
    • Net Income. Net income for the quarter was $178 million, or
      $2.57 per diluted share, including the gain on metal derivative positions
      and a gain of $63 million related to the sale of the deferred payment right
      to Sumitomo for $70 million.
    • Apex Liquidity. At June 30, 2008, the company had cash, cash
      equivalents and investments totaling $214 million, of which $92 million was
      unrestricted cash and investments, including the proceeds of the sale of
      the deferred payment right. The company faces significant financial
      obligations in the second half of 2008 and during 2009 that are expected to
      exceed currently available funding sources. The company continues to
      explore alternatives to manage costs, as well as other actions to preserve
      and improve liquidity, while remaining focused on execution of the San
      Cristóbal operating plan.
    • Minera San Cristóbal Line of Credit. The company has approved
      a $50 million subordinated unsecured line of credit to be entered into by
      Minera San Cristóbal as borrower, with a subsidiary of Sumitomo as lender,
      and an initial loan of $15 million. The line of credit is expected to be
      effective during the week of August 11, 2008, and will permit borrowings by
      Minera San Cristóbal until October 21, 2008.

    Habe eben mal den Insiderhandel gecheckt. Schaut nicht sehr vertrauenserweckend aus.

    Zitat

    "Rumor has it there is supposed to be a major announcement soon.
    There was an article in the Wallace Miner about Sterling. Says there
    will be no more layoffs and everything's going to be A-OK. Not sure how
    much I believe that."

    Wird jedenfalls mächtig spannend, wenn an dem Gerücht was dran ist. Umsonst wird SRLM niemand bekommen. Ein buyout bei 5 Dollar, darüber ließe sich reden. :wacko:

    Moin,


    im Yahoo-Board rumoren Übernahmegerüchte. Halt ich für eher wahrscheinlich, dass da was dran ist. SRLM ist ein Schnäppchen bei der Bewertung. Wer wäre ein Käufer? Hecla-Mining? Macht dann ja auch Sinn, dass sich die Direktoren großzügige Abfindungen bei Übernahme geben lassen.


    Demnächst soll es dazu eine News geben.


    Keine Ahnung, ob da jetzt was dran ist. Hat jemand sonst was gehört?


    viele Grüße


    :sleeping:

    Moin,


    ich hab mehr ADA ´s als je zuvor und bin sehr zuversichtlich.


    Der Wert hat total gelitten und ich hätte NIE gedacht, dass es so weit runter geht.
    Aber ich vertraue dem Geschäftsmodell, dem Management und bin bullisher denn je für Zink, Blei und Gold. Alles ging die letzten Tage extrem rauf und ADA könnte sich derzeit auch wieder fangen.


    Das Verschieben des Spinoffs sehe ich positiv. Es ist besser, wenn die Märkte anders liegen. Jetzt sollte man eher Zukäufe überlegen. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass ADA ein Objekt für z.B. Hudbay Minerals sein könnte. Falls sich Übernahmegerüchte breitmachen, wird man das allerdings am Kurs direkt schon weit vorher merken. Insider und deren Angehörige sind gut informiert und wohl dick investiert.


    Derzeit stockt man jedenfalls auf. Der Kurs wird sich bald wieder mehr als erholen.


    Hoffen wir´s mal!


    :)

    Noch besser hätte man als hartnäckiger Kleinanleger vermutlich Kontakt zur Ehefrau des CEO´s, um an super Informationen zu gelangen. Natürlich erfährt man dann alles sofort aus erster Hand, wenn was schief läuft im Laden. :D

    Acadian Mining Corporation to extend warrant expiry date




    Trading Symbol: ADA:TSX; C2Z-Frankfurt
    Shares Outstanding: 142,377,907


    HALIFAX, June 16 /CNW/ - Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX:ADA) ("Acadian"
    or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has received approval
    from the Toronto Stock Exchange to extend the expiry date of 1,285,875
    outstanding unlisted broker unit warrants ("Broker Warrants") that were issued
    in connection with the Corporation's March 2007 private placement. Each Broker
    Warrant currently entitles the holder thereof to purchase one broker unit of
    the Corporation, comprised of one fully paid and non-assessable common share
    in the capital of the Corporation and one-quarter of one non-transferable
    common share purchase warrant ("Underlying Warrant") at any time until
    5:00 p.m. (Halifax time) on June 30, 2008 ("Expiry Date") at a purchase price
    of Cdn$1.05. Each whole Underlying Warrant entitles the holder thereof to
    purchase one additional common share of the Corporation at a purchase price of
    Cdn$1.35. The Broker Warrants will be amended effective June 30, 2008 to
    extend the Expiry Date of such Broker Warrants to July 21, 2008.
    As announced on June 11, 2008 by Acadian's News Release 10-08, the plan
    of arrangement ("Arrangement") involving Acadian and Annapolis Gold
    Corporation ("Annapolis") was approved by Acadian's shareholders at Acadian's
    annual and special meeting on June 9, 2008 and was approved by the Supreme
    Court of Nova Scotia on June 10, 2008. The Arrangement is discussed in further
    detail below. If the Arrangement is completed, then the exercise price of
    Acadian's outstanding warrants, including the Broker Warrants, will be
    adjusted pursuant to the contractual terms governing such warrants. Except for
    the Expiry Date extension and exercise price adjustment, all provisions of the
    Broker Warrants will remain the same. There are no insiders of the Corporation
    who hold Broker Warrants.


    Plan of Arrangement
    -------------------


    The Arrangement will result in shareholders of Acadian receiving one
    share of Annapolis for every four shares of Acadian they hold on the
    "Effective Date". Annapolis will own all of Acadian's gold assets, including
    Acadian's 50% interest in the Fifteen Mile Stream gold property and Acadian's
    four advanced stage exploration properties (Beaver Dam, Tangier, Forest Hill
    and Goldenville), which form the core holdings of the Scotia Goldfields
    project.
    Acadian shareholders will continue to hold all the same number of Acadian
    shares they owned before the Arrangement and Acadian will continue to own the
    Scotia Mine operations together with all of the Corporation's extensive base
    metal claim holdings including the Getty Deposit, the Smithfield Deposit
    currently under option, the Eastville prospect, the Lake Ainslie
    barite-fluorite deposits and its 44.42% interest in Royal Roads Corp.
    (RRO-TSX-V). Acadian will continue to be managed by its existing management
    team and Acadian will provide administrative and operational services to
    Annapolis with such additional staff as may be required. The officers and
    directors of Annapolis will initially be the same as those for Acadian.
    The Arrangement remains subject to a number of conditions, including
    receipt of certain regulatory approvals and raising equity. Assuming all
    conditions are met and the Arrangement proceeds, it is anticipated that the
    "Effective Date" will occur in late June, 2008. As announced in Acadian's News
    Release 07-08 on May 26, 2008, Annapolis is presently proceeding with a
    marketed private placement of units comprised of common shares and warrants of
    Annapolis. The offering will close on the "Effective Date" of the Arrangement.


    About the Corporation
    ---------------------


    Acadian is a Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada based mining company which
    operates a zinc-lead mine (Scotia Mine) at Gays River, Nova Scotia and is
    exploring and developing gold, zinc-lead, and barite properties in Atlantic
    Canada.
    The Scotia Mine operates as an open pit mine and is expected to produce
    30,000 tonnes of high grade zinc concentrate and 12,000 tonnes of high grade
    lead concentrate per year. See Acadian's News Release No. 16-06 dated July 17,
    2006 for further details.
    The Corporation is also focused on developing four advanced gold
    properties, Beaver Dam, Tangier, Forest Hill and Goldenville. Each of the four
    advanced properties host gold resources described in technical reports
    prepared in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") and are

    report with respect to this property will be filed on SEDAR in the near
    future. The Corporation is bringing a new approach to the development of Nova
    Scotia gold deposits by pursuing a multiple mine, central processing, managing
    and servicing strategy.
    The Corporation holds a 44.42% equity interest in Royal Roads Corp.
    ("Royal Roads") (RRO-TSX-V). Royal Roads' principal asset is a 16,075 hectare

    property which is strategically located in the centre of the world-class
    Buchans base metal camp in central Newfoundland, Canada. In addition, Royal
    Roads holds a 26.4% equity interest in Buchans River Ltd. ("Buchans River")

    Der erneute Kauf soll ja in die Ausgliederung mit einfließen, wobei Acadian anscheinend sich die Claims zusätzlich abkaufen lassen will.
    Mir ist das alles noch ein wenig schwammig. Doch in erster Linie denke ich, dass der Spinoff und das zusätzliche Projekt vor allem die Taschen des CEO´s füllen sollen. Was mir auch noch nicht klar ist, was die Ausgliederung für die Shareholder bedeutet. Findet eine weitere Wertminderung statt? Die Firmenleitung von Annapolis wird ja die gleich wie von Acadian sein. Erhalten die Vorstände und CEO dann doppeltes Gehalt, weitere Optionen etc.? Was wird ADA noch Wert sein nach der Ausgliederung?


    Ich bin mit Spinnoffs noch ziemlich unerfahren und schaue mit Spannung auf die nächsten Monate.


    Etwas ratlos, aber verhalten optimistisch...


    =)

    Man weiß nicht genau, aus welchen Gründen gewisse Strategien eingeschlagen wurden. Ich halte einiges für möglich, auch, dass Soros noch mehr Anteile günstig erwerben will. Schließlich ist er der größte Einzelaktionär.


    Jedenfalls heißt die derzeitige besch.... Situation bei Apex ja nicht, dass es so weitergeht. Wenn die das mit den Derivaten mal in den Griff bekommen und die Produktion voll läuft, kann es sehr schnell ganz anders aussehen.


    Ich halte Apex.


    :)

    Ich kann das nicht verstehen, dass diese Meldung nicht zu einem sofortigen Kurssprung geführt hat. Vielleicht hält jemand seit Monaten den Deckel auf Acadian. Immerhin möglich. Auf jeden Fall werden die nächsten Monate sehr sehr spannend. Ich bin jedenfalls sehr bullish und freue mich auch, dass ich dann vielleicht wieder Kurse weit über meinen EK sehen werde. Leider habe ich zu früh zu viel gekauft, so dass ich derzeit ziemlich in den Miesen bin. Ich hoffe immer noch, dass Zink und Blei demnächst wieder anziehen, wobei es derzeit noch keine Anzeichen dafür gibt. Aber dafür gibt es ja jetzt die Abspaltung der Gold-Assets. :P


    Was mich noch interessieren würde, wie es mit den Warrants aussieht. Immerhin wäre ja denkbar, dass vor der Abspaltung noch alle offenstehenden ADA-Optionen eingelöst werden. Wie sich das auf den Wert von Annapolis, kann ich nicht einschätzen. Jedenfalls gehe ich noch von einer weiteren Verwässerung aus. ?)


    So, ich bin jetzt wieder aktiv hier, nachdem ich monatelang nichts gepostet habe, da es mit der Anmeldung nicht mehr funktionierte.


    Viel Glück allen ADAlern hier. Sind wir noch zwei, vielleicht schon bald mehr?

    Zitat

    Hedge Bedingung für die Finanzierung


    Genau dieses.


    Ohne Teil-Hedge keine Kohle von der Bank. Ohne Kohle von der Bank keine Mine bzw. hätte man durch Kapitalerhöhung die Aktie stark verwässern müssen.


    Insofern kann ich dem Statement von zwyss nur zustimmen, dass die Hedge-Positionen nicht den Kursverlauf verantworten sollten. Die Marktkapitalisierung ist bei dem zu erwartendem Potential ein Witz. Ich schätze eher, dass den Anlegern nochmal so richtig Angst gemacht wird, damit sich die Großaktionäre nochmal so richtig eindecken können, bevor Apex nach oben ausbricht. Das politische Risiko ist da, aber die Besteuerung ist z.B. locker zu verkraften.


    M.E. ist Apex derzeit ein klarer Kauf mit großem Hebel auf Silber.


    Viele werden sich noch wundern.


    Ich vielleicht auch.


    :D
