    sehr gute Bohrergebnisse beim Imwauna Projekt:


    http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/060608/0134389.html


    Dieses Projekt gehört in diesem Jahr zu den zwei wichtigsten Projekten, die untersucht werden. Eine ähnliche Mine in der Nähe hat ca. 5 Mio. Unzen Gold.


    Bei diesem Projekt wird mit der eigenen Mannschaft kontinuierlich weitergebohrt, so dass in den kommenden Wochen mit weiteren Meldungen zu rechnen ist. Es soll spätestens Ende des Jahres eine 43-101 bestätigte Reserven-/Ressourcenbewertung geben.

  • First Majestic Silver Corp./ FR,AG (TSX,NYSE)

    Was ist von First Silver Reserve zu erwarten ?


    einige Fakts:


    • Produktion lag in 2001/02 bei je 2,4 Mio. Unzen Silber, 2003 bei 1,9 Mio. Unzen, 2004 bei 2,16 Mio. Unzen, 2005 bei ca. 2 Mio. Unzen. Laut World Silver Surveys stand San Martin 2003 an 14. Stelle der weltweit größten Silberminen.


    • First Silver Reserve hat ca. 42,47 Mio. Unzen Reserven/Ressourcen [davon 5,9 Mio. Unzen Reserven] (43-101 bestätigt !), mit noch weiterem Explorationspotenzial


    • Im letzten Jahr wurde im September zusätzliche Gerätschaften gekauft, um die Produktion zu erhöhen.


    • In den ersten 3 Monaten 2006 wurden 510 Tsd. Unzen Silber (05: 421,2 Tsd. Unzen Silber) und 786 Unzen Gold (05: 901 Unzen Gold) gefördert.


    • Die Gesamtkosten lagen bei ca. 6,74 $ je Unze im 1. Quartal 2006 (1. Quartal 2005: 5,9 $ je Unze).


    • Silbergehalt: 244 gr/to


    • working capital: ca. 3,9 Mio. $ (05: 1,7 Mio. $)


    • Gewinnentwicklung (!!!):


      1. Quartal 2006: 1,288 Mio. $
      4. Quartal 2005: 0,169 Mio. $
      3. Quartal 2005: 0,220 Mio. $

    First Majestic hat zum richtigen Zeitpunkt zugegriffen. Im 2. Quartal dürfte der Gewinn weiter steigen. Geht man mal von ca. 12 $ je Unze im Durchschnitt aus, würde der Gewinn bei ca. 5,25 $ je Unze bei 500 Tsd Unzen Silber also bei ca. 2,625 Mio. $ liegen !

    First Majestic & First Silver to Complete Business Combination


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Vancouver, British Columbia, First Majestic Resource Corp. (TSXV: FR) ("First Majestic" or the "Company"), and First Silver Reserve Inc. (TSX: FSR) ("FSR") are pleased to announce that they have entered into an agreement dated June 5, 2006 (the "Agreement"), whereby the parties have agreed to enter into a business combination, such that FSR will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). It is expected that the Merger will occur by way of plan of arrangement or amalgamation subject to review of tax, accounting, corporate and securities law issues. The Merger will be subject to a due diligence period on behalf of FSR and receipt of regulatory and shareholder approval.


    Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, First Majestic intends to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of FSR on the basis of 1.00 common share of the Company for every 2.00 common shares of FSR. Shareholders of FSR may elect to receive either (i) one common share of First Majestic for every 2 common shares of FSR., which represents a 5.43% premium over the 10 day trading average of the shares of FSR, which closed at $2.38 on June 5, 2006, or (ii) cash compensation for their FSR shares on the same basis as its major shareholder who recently sold 24,649,200 shares to the Company. More specifically, any shareholder not wishing to receive shares of First Majestic in exchange for their FSR shares may elect to receive cash consideration of $2.165 per share payable on the basis of 50% upon completion of the Merger and the balance payable in two equal installments over two years, with interest payable quarterly at 6.0 % per annum on the unpaid balance.
    All validly subsisting warrants, options and other rights to acquire common shares of First Majestic or FSR (including all requirements to issue shares for mineral property acquisitions and for consulting services) will, as a result of the Merger, be deemed to represent, comparable securities of First Majestic, on an adjusted basis as to the number and price based on the share exchange ratio.
    Subject to obtaining all necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals and acceptances, and the satisfaction of all conditions precedent the name of the resulting merged company will be First Majestic Resource Corp. or First Majestic Silver Corp.
    First Majestic owns 63% of FSR and as a result after FSR's annual general meeting to be held on June 19th, 2006 the board of directors of FSR will consist of Keith Neumeyer, Ramon Davila, Robert McCallum, Bernard Fahy and Robert Young.
    Upon closing of the Merger, which is anticipated to take place in late August or early September, the board of directors of First Majestic will consist of the following individuals: Keith Neumeyer, Ramon Davila, Robert McCallum, David Shaw, Bernard Fahy, Robert Young and Tony Pezzotti. The officers of the Company will be: Keith Neumeyer, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ramon Davila, Chief Operating Officer, Douglas Scott, Chief Financial Officer and Jude Fawcett, Corporate Secretary.
    The Merger as outlined in the Agreement is in line with First Majestic's strategy for growth through acquisition and development to aggressively continue to take steps to become one of the largest pure silver producers. The benefits to shareholders of First Majestic and FSR are as follows;


    - The opportunity for a near term increase in silver production with the combination of the La Parrilla Silver Mine and the San Martin Silver Mine.


    - A renewed focus on developing an increased resource base at the San Martin with the First Majestic geological team in place.


    - Additional production increases in 2007 & 2008 as a result of planned investments at the La Parrilla Silver Mine, the San Martin Silver Mine and the Dios Padre Silver Mine.


    - The combination of an aggressive management team with an enlarged asset base will prove to bring additional value to shareholders.


    First Silver Reserve Inc. owns 100% interest in the San Martin Silver Mine in Jalisco State, Mexico and First Majestic owns 100% of the La Parrilla Silver Mine in Durango State, Mexico. The combination of the two companies will bring together synergies that will result in a very efficient team of mining, development and exploration professionals that will result in one of the most dynamic pure silver producing companies in the world.

    zu Hommel:


    Bei beiden Aktien muß er einen längeren Atem haben, da sie von der Produktion noch etwas entfernt sind und auch noch erhebliche Finanzmittel für den Minenaufbau benötigen.


    Er hat aber noch auf etwas anderes sehr interessantes in der letzten Zeit hingewiesen, dass nämlich der Lagerbestand an Zink kontinuierlich zurückgeht. Hier hat er voll und ganz recht ! Wenn es so weitergeht, gibt es demnächst (in garnicht allzulanger Zeit) keinen Zinklagerbestand mehr ! Bei Kitco kann man dies sehr schön verfolgen.

    In Bolivien gibt es bei von Ölfirmen schon die ersten Drohungen, dass sie geplante Milliardeninvestitionen nicht mehr durchführen wollen.


    Dies könnte sich im Endeffekt als Rohrkrepierer herausstellen. Der Staat ist zwar dann beteiligte, aber keiner investiert mehr und die Produktion dürfte auch darunter leiden.

    Die Bewegung bei First Silver ist auf eine positive Besprechung bei Rob TV zurückzuführen.

    Scorpio Mining Increases Private Placement Financing to $30 Million


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    * NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES *


    Vancouver, April 12, 2006 - Scorpio Mining Corporation (TSXV:SPM) is pleased to announce that it has increased its previously announced private placement with Research Capital Corporation (the "Agent") from $15,000,000 to approximately $30,000,000 of units of the Company at a price of $1.15 per unit. In addition, the Agent's option has been increased from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 of additional units on the same terms as the offering. If this option is exercised in full, the total gross proceeds to the Company from the offering would be approximately $40,000,000. The offering is expected to close on or about April 21, 2006.


    Each unit shall consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to acquire, at any time within twenty four months from the closing of the offering, one common share of the Company at a price of $1.40 per share.


    Proceeds from the private placement will be used to finance further development and exploration of the Company's principal asset, the Nuestra Señora silver deposit in Sinaloa State, Mexico, and for general working capital purposes.


    The Company recently provided an update to the previous inferred mineral resource estimate at Nuestra Señora. The new updated resource estimate includes Indicated Resources of 1,128,000 tonnes grading 202.56 g/t silver, 3.47% zinc, 0.91% copper, 1.44% lead and 0.236 g/t gold and Inferred Resources of 978,000 tonnes grading 229.47 g/t silver, 4.07% zinc, 0.92% copper, 2.72% lead and 0.347 g/t gold (Reference: SEDAR filing - February 22, 2006). The updated resource estimate does not include recently identified mineralization on the 7 to 10 levels (see press releases dated March 1 and March 16, 2006). Chlumsky, Armbrust and Meyer (CAM), independent consultants and Qualified Persons under NI 43-101, have reviewed and verified Scorpio's resource estimates. The complete NI 43-101 Technical Report from CAM describing the procedures and parameters involved in the resource estimate is expected to be filed on SEDAR within the next month.


    In consideration for its services, the Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds arising from the offering and broker warrants exercisable into that number of units equal to 6% of the number of units sold pursuant to the offering. The broker warrants will be exercisable at any time up to twenty four months following closing of the offering to acquire units having the same terms as offered in the private placement at an exercise price of $1.40 per unit. Scorpio will be entitled to allocate up to $5,000,000 of the offering, and on such portion of the offering the Agent will receive a 2% cash commission and broker warrants equal to 1% of the number of units sold. The units, including the underlying common shares and warrants, will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable law. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals.


    The securities being offered have not, nor will they be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. federal and state registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States.

    Für was benötigt denn Scorpio 30 Mio. $ ? Bahnt sich hier die nächste Übernahme an ?

  • First Majestic Silver Corp./ FR,AG (TSX,NYSE)

    Es gibt hier aber auch noch ein paar offene Fragen:


    • Was passiert mit den übrigen 37 % FSR-Aktionären ?
    • Soll FSR nun 100%ig übernommen werden ?
    • Welches Potenzial haben die FSR-Liegenschaften ?

    Der Schwachzug ist insgesamt sehr geschickt ! Man nehme das Private Placement und erhält eine Silbermine mit einer Produktion von ca. 2 Mio. Unzen aktuell.


    Geht man von Produktionskosten von ca. 5 $ je Unze aus, würden aktuell ca. 6 $ Gewinn je Unze erwirtschaftet werden. Bei 2 Mio. Unzen Produktion gibt es ca. 12 Mio. $ Gewinn (beim aktuellen Silberpreis). Wenn man beide Gesellschaften fusioniert, würde damit FSR beim aktuellen Silberpreis bei einer Verschmelzung die 13 Mio. $ Kosten selbst erwirtschaften.


    Was man aber noch dazu erhält:


    • weitere Liegenschaften von FSR, FSR plant weitere Explorationen !
    • > 40 Mio. Unzen Silberreserven/-ressourcen (43-101 bestätigt !)
    • Möglichkeit die Produktion bei FSR zu steigern
    • und dazu noch die Hebelwirkung durch weiter steigende Silberpreise

    Insgesamt ist der Schachzug sehr geschickt und die Finanzierung typisch Neumeyer ! Das Potenzial wurde mit begrenzten Geldaufwand deutlich erhöht und man ist einen gewaltigen Schritt vorwärtsgekommen.


    Mir gefällt die Nachricht.

    ACQUISITION OF MAJORITY INTEREST IN FIRST SILVER RESERVE INC.


    Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, April 05, 2006 /FSC/ - First Silver Reserve Inc. (TSX: FSR),


    FIRST MAJESTIC RESOURCE CORP. (FR-V) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an irrevocable Share Purchase Agreement to purchase approximately 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of First Silver Reserve Inc. (FSR-T) from the major shareholder of FSR. The major shareholder has been integral in the success of FSR's San Martin Mine, which produced 2,100,000 ounces of silver in 2005.


    Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price was determined by calculating the 10-day average trading price of FSR's shares on the TSX at the close of trading on April 3, 2006, which equated to $2.165 per share. The total number of shares being purchased by First Majestic is 24,649,200 for an aggregate of $53,365,518 payable in three installments. The purchase price is divided into three payments, the first being $26,682,759 payable on closing and $13,341,380 payable on each of the 12th and 24th month anniversaries of the closing. A 60-day due diligence period has been initiated and will be completed by June 2, 2006. Closing of this transaction will occur following the due diligence period and is anticipated to occur on or before June 2, 2006. An interest fee of 6% per annum will be payable on the two outstanding payments due after closing.


    First Silver Reserve is a company focused on the production and exploration of silver in Mexico. First Silver, through its wholly owned subsidiary Minera El Pilon, owns 100% of the San Martin Silver Mine in Jalisco State, Mexico. The Company is in the process of developing an extensive exploration program with the goal of expanding reserves that may allow for increased production beyond the 2.1 million ounces per year average annual silver production. According to the 2003 World Silver Survey, First Silver's San Martin mine was the 14th largest primary producing silver mine in the World. Presently the San Martin mine has a NI 43-101 compliant resource of 43 million ounces of silver. The report dated June 23, 2006 was prepared by Pincock Allen & Holt ("PAH") and can be viewed on http://www.sedar.com.


    First Majestic is a producing silver company focused in Mexico and is aggressively pursuing its business plan to become a mid-tier silver producer through development of its existing assets and the pursuit through acquisition of additional assets that make sense to achieving our corporate objective.

  • First Majestic Silver Corp./ FR,AG (TSX,NYSE)

    Dann sollte er jedoch relativ schnell reagieren. Es gibt gut ein halbes Dutzend Juniorminen, denen in den letzten Monaten Private Placement Geldmittel in Höhe von mehr als 10 / 15 / z.T. bis an die 20 Mio. $ zugefloßen ist und die sich nun auch wahrscheinlich auch z.T. noch am Markt umschauen.


    Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass die Preise gerade ansteigen.

  • First Majestic Silver Corp./ FR,AG (TSX,NYSE)

    Ich glaube, dass hinter der neuen Private Placement weit mehr steckt und wir sollten uns die Frage stellen:


    Für was benötigt First Majestic 20 Mio. ???


    Zur Erinnerung:


    • Es gab vor einigen Monaten schon mal ein Private Placement in Millionenhöhe. Dieses Geld müßte eigentlich für das ehrgeizige Bohrprogramm (mind. 5 Bohrteam arbeiten derzeit für First Majestic !), welches zur Zeit stattfindet, mehr als ausreichen !


    • Laut einer Präsentation im Januar hatte First Majestic zu diesem Zeitpunkt 13 Mio. auf der Bank.


    • Bis Juli soll La Parilla hochgefahren werden (600 to Kapazität) bzw. dann auf 1000to Kapazität der Mühle. Das anvisierte Ziel liegt in diesem Jahr bei einer Produktion von > 1 Mio. Unzen. Bei einem aktuellen Silberkurs von > 11 $ und durchschnittlichen Produktionskosten von 5,5 $ (letzte Aussage v. Keith Neumeyer im Januar, Tendenz fallend) dürfte ein Cash Flow in Höhe von ca. 5 Mio. $ + ? fließen.


    • Dieser Cash Flow dürfte nächstes Jahr sogar noch ansteigen, da sie dann noch zusätzlich Dios Padre in Produktion bringen wollen (Ziel: > 5 Mio. Unzen Produktion mit La Parilla und Dios Padre !)


    • Keith Neumeyer äußerte kürzlich, dass er sich jeden Monat noch neue Liegenschaften ansieht.


    • In einem kanadischen Foren kursierte auch schon das Gerücht, dass sie eine größere Akquisition (weitere Silberliegenschaften oder etwas größeres ?) beabsichtigen.

    Wenn man dies alles zusammennimmt, dann liegt etwas in der Luft. Es wird spannend, zumal auch in den nächsten Wochen irgendwann mal auch die ersten Ergebnisse der Bohrteams veröffentlicht werden müßten (sie bohren ja schon einige Zeit !).
