aus smartinvestment eine interessante Stellungnahme zu Exmin:
da wurde mir einiges klar.
Was nützen Penoles und Hochschildt, wenn man nicht selbst der Betreiber ist....
Hätt ich auch schon früher draufkommen können.
Das sit für mich der haken an EXM.........
The problem with large joint venture partners like Penoles and Hochschild is they take a very long term approach to their exploration and development projects. They will never have the same urgency and aggressive exploration plans as a cash starved junior. The Penoles project is a year behind because they would not drill Craig original targets last year. They chose to drill some targets that were more accessible rather than build new roads. Hochschild is clearly not concerned with Moris generating any cash flow from Moris for their struggling partner EXMIN. It looks like most of the cash flow will be reinvested in the mine. I would venture a bet that the Yale JV at Urique produces significant results before the other JVs with the majors. These projects simply fall way down the priority list for Hochschild and Penoles. I have grown leary of any JV's with majors where the junior is not the operator.
I can tell you that we have tried to visit Moris and Hochschild is not anxious to have analysts visit this mine. I suspect that it is because Moris is clearly a "step-child" compared to their other operations. I also noted that in their presentation at the BMO conference they did not even mention Moris. I suspect that there may also be some metallurgical problems that we are not even hearing about. In speaking with Karl at PDAC, he seems pretty frustrated with Hochschild. They simply are not treating EXMIN like the 30% partner that they are. They are, at least, letting Craig direct the exploration program.
EXMIN is supporting a lot of properties. While Karl has done a very good job of finding partners, they are also paying taxes and option costs on many properties that are not being developed. Most investors think of these properties as assets. For a cash strapped junior, I look at them as liabilities until a preliminary resource is defined. While supporting all these properties and contributing to the Moris JV, little or nothing is left to drill their 100% owned properties. It is getting increasinlgy difficult to find JV partners on these district sized properties without some preliminary drilling results.
I am a long term shareholder at higher prices. But this is not one I will be adding new shares any time soon. I look for more dilution throughout 2008.

Dafür eine gute Meldung von Urique, das halte ich für ein super Projekt.
Leider Anfangsstadium.
Yale und EXM.
Yale Announces That Geophysics Confirms Depth Potential for Drill Targets at Urique North
Thursday March 27, 10:25 am ET
VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 27, 2008 -- Yale Resources Ltd. (CDNX:YLL.V - News) (Frankfurt:YAB.F - News) is pleased to announce that a recently completed 13.35 km IP geophysical survey within the Cerro Colorado and San Pedro targets of the Urique Project indicates that the mineralization and alteration identified on surface may extend to depths greater than 100 metres. The Cerro Colorado and San Pedro target areas are now ready for drilling.

The geophysics program included 5.4 line km within the Cerro Colorado target and 4.75 line km within the San Pedro target area. In each area, geophysical anomalies coincide with mineralized structures and veins and in many cases even the dip of the anomalies are similar with those measured on surface.
The Urique Project is 290 square kilometres in size. It is located within the prolific Sierra Madre gold belt and adjoins Goldcorp's El Sauzal gold mine to the south and Kimber Resources' Monterde Property to the north. Yale has the right to earn a 75% interest in the Urique Project from EXMIN Resources Inc. (CDNX:EXM.V - News).
Cerro Colorado:
The Cerro Colorado target consists of a 2 to 9 metre wide structurally controlled breccia more then 2.5 km in length with two sets of historic workings (El Vergel and Mina Guadalupe) that occur in river drainages located approximately 1.5 km apart.
Grades of 2.23 g/t gold and 150.0 g/t silver over 3.0 m from the El Vergel zone and 5.46 g/t gold and 36.0 g/t silver over 9.1 m from the Mina Guadalupe zone have been encountered (see news release dated February 15, 2007).
Figures showing the geophysical profiles from the Cerro Colorado target area are available on the Company's website at: http://www.yaleresources.com/s/UriqueGeophysics.asp
San Pedro:
The San Pedro target area surrounds the historic Sangre de Cristo gold-silver mine (owned by a third party) where fieldwork has identified several small mines and prospects developed on quartz veins. Assays from these showings range from 6.6 to 35.0 g/t gold and 61.0 to 401.0 g/t silver over 0.3 to 1.1 metre vein widths (see news release dated May 17, 2006). In addition three principal sets of gold-silver veins have been discovered with several of the narrow vein systems having yielded high-grade precious metals assays with highlights of 137.5 g/t gold and 133.0 g/t silver over 0.25 metres. Sampling of widespread alteration coincident with the intersections of north-south and northeast vein sets suggests that there may be potential for bulk mineable mineralization in the target area as trenching has uncovered mineralization grading 0.33 g/t gold and 7.6 g/t silver over 21.65 metres.
