Und wie die Minen durch den sich anbahnenden Zusammenbruch der kurzfristigen Kreditmärke betroffen sind! Meine Güte, mit wie vielen Pleitefonds und insolventen Risikokapitalgesellschaften die verbandelt sind, z.B. mit der praktisch insolventen Coventree Inc, einem Emittenten von Unternehmensanleihen in Kanada. Offensichtlich sind die Cashpositionen etlicher Minen in solchen hochriskanten Anleihen angelegt worden:
Canadian miners object to rescue
Plan to help short-term debt market doesn't give them a fair shake, they say
Since Monday, several asset-backed commercial paper issuers, including Coventree Inc., the largest independent player, were forced to call on their bankers for emergency liquidity after they were unable to roll over maturing debt, prompting warnings of potential default. As a result, the $120-billion asset-backed commercial paper market has been paralyzed.
Over the last few days, a string of mostly mining companies have revealed they invested in the troubled securities, including Redcorp Ventures Ltd., Barrick Gold Corp. and Ivanhoe Mines Ltd.
Redcorp said it may have to delay projects if it is unable to retrieve its money soon.
Another mining company, New Gold Inc., which has $152 million in asset-backed commercial paper, learned of the problem last week when it couldn't cash about $6 million of paper sponsored by Coventree.

Zu Ivenhoe: TORONTO (Reuters) - Ivanhoe Mines said on Friday that it has $66.5 million of holdings in Canadian asset-backed commercial paper, representing about 34 percent of its total cash position of about $200 million.
Of that, $13.8 million is held with funds sponsored by Coventree Capital , the Canadian mineral explorer said. Coventree has been at the heart of the credit crunch in Canada's asset-backed commercial market since it announced earlier this week it couldn't find funds to repay outstanding paper.
