    Hallo Nugget,
    ich kenn beide nicht sooo genau.
    Über Tara gibt´s glaub ich, was auf Goldseiten.
    sind halt noch pink sheet.


    Paramount: das Mexico Gebiet ist sehr gut - Chiahuahua.
    Peru Projekt kenn ich nicht so gut.
    Streben ein höreres Listening an.
    Sind halt sehr gut gelaufen, aber zu Recht.


    Grüße

    Ahja vergessen: Silver eagle hat trading halt
    Ob´s damit zusammenhängt

    oder ein böser Finger.....??


    Zu FR.V: da hab ich grundposition seit 05. Nicht angetastet.


    Dann bin ich bei FSR rein, die übernommen wurden von FR.V und kam mit dieserr Position ziemlich ins Hintertreffen (3,28€)
    Hab dann noch mal eine selbe Position zu 3,04€ gekauft.
    Die 3,28 er dann im März 07 verkauft zu 3,56€.
    Und heute wieder selbe Anzahl zu 2,84€ gekauft.
    Gfällt ma..... :D

    Hab heute wie angekündigt, meinen letzten im contest FR.V nachgekauft.
    Möglich ein Griff ins fallende Messer.
    Da war heute Flucht angesagt in D....


    Hab mich beim Zironenrisotto mit ultrascharfem Japanmesser aber auch nicht geschnitten. :D

    Hab den TSX Saisonal Chart von Middlekoop neulich vergessen:
    Unten angehängt!
    Wenn es so bliebe, wären wir unter dem wert des Vorjahres.
    Der Wochenbeginn wird sehr interessant.
    Noch mal runter und dann ab 9.5. eine schöne Ralley. Das würde viele auf dem falschen Fuß erwischen. :D


    Wäre eine Möglichkeit!


    Silver Eagle SEG.TO: siehe Bericht gestern. Ergebnisse unter den historisch und jetzt ausgebeuteten Lagen. Dürfte um vieles größer sein und damit kostengünstiger.
    Überlege mir da Aufstockung.


    FR.V.: da scheint das selbe Spielchen zu laufen wie im Herbst. Man ist auf eine Verbilligung des PP aus, das noch bis 10.5. läuft.
    Ausgemacht waren 5C$. Nun Kurs 4,6, was eigentlich nicht zu erwarten war.


    Dass FR mit den oz im ersten Quartal die anvisierten 5 Mille nicht erreicht, kratzt mich nicht im geringsten.
    Abgerechnet wird zum Schluss!
    Vor allem sind die Aktivitäten atemberaubend!


    BZA.TO und AUQ.V hab ich verkauft, letztere wegen des Mergers, da die neuen Aktien erst wieder ein Jahr Haltefrist haben ab Juni.
    Werd wahrscheinlich wieder einsteigen, wenn alles steht.


    VIT.V, EXM.V aufgestockt, MAR.V gekauft.


    Gestern noch 40% von OK.V verkauft (war sehr große position)
    über 50% steuerfrei, alles mit sahne....
    Der Tradition gemäß laut Contest golddrivers:
    raus aus dem ersten und in den letzten rein! :D

    Silver Eagle Continues to Confirm Depth Extensions of Calvario Vein System
    Friday April 27, 8:06 am ET


    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 27, 2007) - Silver Eagle Mines Inc. ("Silver Eagle") (TSX:SEG - News) is pleased to report that recently received assay results from drilling completed on the Calvario Vein system continue to confirm wide extensions of the vein system below the previous exploration limit.


    Diamond drill hole 2007-131 intersected 537 g/t Ag Eq(1) over a core length of 21.55 metres on the north side of the Calvario Vein in the area of Martinez #1 shaft. The intercept was encountered beginning at the 354.80 metre mark of the drill hole at approximately 330 metres vertical depth below surface. Summary assay results for this hole are shown in the table below. The intercept correlates with one encountered in previously-reported hole 2006-81 which assayed 301 g/t Ag Eq(1) over a core length of 17.4 metres (see press release dated October 22, 2006), occurring at a vertical depth of 260 metres, or 70 metres above that in 2007-31. The intercepts in these two holes are interpreted to represent a mineralized breccia pipe that correlates with a zone encountered at a depth of 90 metres below surface in the current mine workings (see press release dated March 8, 2007) which returned 252 g/t Ag Eq(1) over a core length of 29.30 metres. True width of the intercepts reported in these drill holes is presently unknown..................................................

    Unprecedented Paper on Human Use of Silver
    Friday April 27, 7:00 am ET
    Clifton Mining Company Inc. (OTC : CFTN)
    ARTICLE BY RUSTUM ROY ET. AL.


    ALPINE, UT, April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - American Biotech Labs (ABL), a private company (Clifton Mining Company owns about 23% of ABL) announces that a new peer review paper has just been released. Dr. Rustum Roy, one of the most pre-eminent materials scientist in the world, has just co-authored an important paper. "Ultradilute Ag-Aquasols with extraordinary bactericidal properties: role of the system Ag-O-H(2)O" in Materials Research Innovations, vol. 11, no. 1, (2007) pages 3-18. The focus of much of the paper is the American Biotech Labs® ASAP silver aquasol products. The authors note critical properties of this unique, patented silver aquasol technology.


    ADVERTISEMENT
    The first line of the paper states:


    "We first establish the literature on the use of ultradilute aquasols as extraordinary, powerful, bactericidal inorganic agents equal to most commercial antibiotics. These findings provide the rationale for a major role for inorganic materials scientists to contribute the insights unique to their field for new, safer health vectors."


    Pointing to antimicrobial studies performed on American Biotech Labs® products the paper states:


    "Table I shows a comparison of the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration of (tilde)1 at.-ppm silver sol in pure water, with the most prominent antibiotics used world wide, as fully established in both in vitro and in vivo trials.(10) Not only is this radically different antibiotic material more or less equal to the traditional biochemical antibiotics, it has the unique advantage that bacteria do not mutate to destroy its activity. Moreover, when used alongside a traditional antibiotic, as shown in Table 2, the silver aquasol has a synergistic effect, thereby extending the life of the efficacy of several antibiotics tenfold(11)..."


    On the safety of eating silver as a metal the paper states:


    "A recent paper by Das and Khanna(1) provides the remarkable datum that some 275,000 kg. (605,000 pounds) of edible metallic silver foil are consumed every year (in food) in India. No known adverse health effects have ever been recorded. This epidemiological evidence that silver as a metal is not toxic in any way needs no comment..."


    The paper separates American Biotech Labs® products from other silver products by identifying them as silver aquasols stating:


    "Our first contribution in this direction is a thorough review and new analysis of the structure of liquid water(6). The study is the key starting point because of the deluge of products loosely lumped under the term 'silver colloids' now appearing in the U.S.A. supplements market and targeting many of the very same, above-mentioned applications. Many of these products claim to be dispersions of metallic particles in nearly pure water. Some of the metals are linked to proteins and other organic additives... Some contain 'organic silver' - presumably metal-organic silver compounds, and some contain 'ionic' silver, possibly in true solution... We confine ourselves only to silver aquasols, i.e. suspensions of nominally metallic silver particles in essentially pure water..."


    In the Conclusions section of the paper it states:


    1. "The very potent biologically active silver aquasols contained,
    typically, the amounts of silver claimed by the manufacturer,
    typically from 10-30 ppm by weight of Ag, The silver was very
    pure as was the water." In other words, the "potent" ABL silver
    products were very clean, metallic not ionic, and contained the
    right amounts of silver.


    We are making the entire paper accessible to readers on the Clifton website at http://www.cliftonmining.com. If you will click on the American Biotech Labs button on Clifton's main page, four choices will appear, scroll down to the last one called "Dr. Roy Paper". The entire peer review paper will appear.


    The American Biotech Labs® products can be found at better health food stores nation wide (ie. GNC Stores etc.) under both the Silver Biotics® and ASAP Solution® labels.

    Middelkoop Discovery Alert (4) - “TSE Venture Index Analysis”


    Hello,



    I would like to send you a brief message before going on a short holiday.


    First I would like to thank everyone for the very positive reception I have received after posting my first reports. Almost 400 people have already reserved a seat for the “500-club”.


    After sending out the following offer, on April 16, I received one reservation per minute for hours:


    “My service will focus on discovery news from the exploration sector and is meant for experienced investors and professionals in the industry who understand the value of early alerts on new discovery plays. The service will be free for all until June and for current TGDL subscribers until October. During the first year I will accept only 500 paying subscribers, to avoid unwanted run-ups in the share-price of mentioned companies. To ensure you are one of them, please send an e-mail with “500-list” to service@discovery-investing.com. Please mention if you currently are a TGDL subscriber, because they will be served first.”


    I promised subscription prices would be a bargain compared to others like The Casey Investment Alert ($4500 a year), The Hard Rock Analyst Special Delivery Alert Service ($2000) and Paul van Eeden’s alert service ($2000). I will charge participants of the “500-club” only US$199 per half year.


    Since we only have a good 100 seats left, you’d better make your reservations quickly by sending “500-club” to service@discovery-investing.com. I promise you an exciting journey from discovery to discovery. A journey taking us not only along precious and base metals, but also to important uranium, gas and oil discoveries. It will even take us past an incredible discovery in biotech. By the way, my new website http://www.discovery-investing.com is being built right now and will be completed within a few weeks.


    I would like to end this message by posting one of my favourite charts. It shows the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture index, which is where most of the exploration companies we follow are listed. This index is far more important than the AUX-index of gold-producers, or the “gold-bugs” HUI-index of unhedged gold producers that most of the other writers concentrate on.


    The following chart clearly shows, that despite the remarkable bull-market of the last few years, the index tops every year around March- May. This top is always followed by a dip during the summer period, with a new rally starting around October. Although a further slide of the dollar might launch gold and silver prices higher soon, it might be a wise idea to take a few chips off the table when the RSI and MACD indicators have reached their top. Investors using a margin position might consider closing them.

    Alexandria Minerals Corporation: 89.10m of 1.09g/t Gold Intersected in Near-Surface Zone in Cadillac Break at Val d'Or
    Wednesday April 25, 1:27 pm ET


    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 25, 2007) - Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AZX - News; Frankfurt:A9D - News) reports that infill sampling of drill core from diamond drill holes AAX-07-9 through AAX-07-11 has yielded substantially greater widths of gold mineralization than previously reported (March 27 and March 29, 2007) on the Oramaque and Orenada Properties, including AAX-07-11 which intersected 89.10 m grading 1.09 g/t gold, from 58.90 m to 148.00m (drilled length)..........


    Noch wichtiger!!!!
    der Teil mit AUR Resources!.
    man beachte das Fette in der Alexis Meldung!


    The Company is earning a 50% interest in the Orenada and 9 other properties in the area from Aur Resources Inc. by incurring exploration expenditures of $3 million and paying $500,000 in cash/shares over a five year period to July 2011. The Company can earn an additional 50% by completing further expenditures of $5 million by July 2014. The Company is aggressively exploring for gold on its Val d'Or properties and has completed approximately 6,100 m of drilling of the 15,000 m program in 2007. Drilling continues on the Bloc Sud West property, about 6 kilometers east of the Oramaque property, where it is testing coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies on and near the Cadillac Break. Additional drilling details can be viewed by visiting the Company's website at http://www.azx.ca or with the link http://www.azx.ca/currentdrilling.asp.

    Garibaldi: Drillen tun die nicht, das wisst ihr eh....


    Dafür haben sie einen gut gehenden Granitmittelbetrieb.
    Jedenfalls eröffnet Garibaldi ein ganz neues Geschäftsmodell.


    @edel,
    die Methode ist wahrlich gut......
    beherrsch ich noch nicht so... du schon.......mit Erfolg!
    Noch lieber ist´s mir schon, ich bin a bisserl früher dran

    Alexis Expands High-Grade Gold Potential South of Herbin and Confirms Significant New Resource Area


    Thursday April 26, 10:59 am ET
    Results Include 32.76 Grams Gold Per Tonne Over 4.9 Metres (0.96 Oz. Per Ton Over 16.1 Feet)


    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 26, 2007) - Alexis Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AMC - News) is pleased to report the confirmation of the extension of high-grade mineralization in underground exploration of the new discovery area, now termed the "Deep South Zone", south of and at shallow depth beneath, the 200-meter level of the Lac Herbin Mine. The two discovery holes (see Press Releases: January 24 & February 14, 2007) returned 12.8 (12.27(i) cut) grams gold per tonne (g Au/t) over 12.5 metres (LH02-123) and 35.42 (9.76(i)cut) gAu/t over 9.2 m, (LH02-122). Since then, 27 drill holes for 5,607 metres of additional drilling has been completed to test the continuity to this new mineralized area. Drilling has confirmed a shallow western plunge to the mineralization with high gold grades traced to the 400-m level. The high grade area remains open at depth and to the west. The zone has a vertical height of between 75 and 100 metres and a plunge length of over 250 metres (see Figure 1).


    "Drilling in the Deep South area confirms a significant new addition to the Lac Herbin gold Resource within easy access of our current ramp, which now extends down to the 250-m level," said David Rigg, President and CEO of Alexis Minerals. "The new zone represents an important new gold structure. Mineralization at the limit of the deepest drilling in this area has a strike length of 200 metres and remains open to the west and to depth. Results from drilling in this area and on the S1W area released in March are very exciting for the long term potential of the deposit. We have confirmed that we are tapping into two major ore zones in the upper part of a large and deep ore system. There is a lot of potential to expand the known deposit."



    New drilling results include (see Table 1, Figure 1):


    - 32.76 (22.86 cut(i)) g Au/t over 4.9m (LH02-167),
    - 15.05 (13.48 cut(i)) g Au/t over 4.8 m (LH02-168) including,
    -- 35.0 (19.41 cut(i)) g Au/t over 1.7 m


    - 9.37 g Au/t over 3.0 m (LH02-127)
    - 17.94 (14.81) g Au/t (14.81 cut(i)) over 3.5 m (LH02-169)
    - 3.70 g Au/t over 21.3 m (LH02-129), including
    -- 8.51 g Au/t over 5.5m, and
    -- 12.86 g Au/t over 2.3m
    - 8.12 g Au/t over 9.9m (LH02-170), including
    - 16.24 g Au/t over 3.9 m


    (i) Cut Grades - See note in Table 1



    The high grade zone is now known to be located within a broader envelope of veining which plunges steeply to the west and, also, to the limit of current drilling on the 400-m level (see Figure 1). This broader zone of mineralization at the 400-m level has a strike length of 200 metres and remains open to the west and to depth. Similar westerly plunging high grade trends were recognized within the Resources of the Lac Herbin Deposit (see 43-101 Technical Report filed on SEDAR.com: February 23, 2007). The structural character of the Lac Herbin area clearly supports the potential for the discovery of additional high grade zones at depth similar to the Deep South zone within the continued extension of the more steeply plunging structures.


    The Deep South Zone will contribute significantly to near term mine development and production, at mining grades expected to be much higher than the average mine grade. The mineralization will be incorporated into ongoing mine planning as a mine feasibility study advances to confirm the economic viability of the Lac Herbin Deposit.


    The "Deep South" Zone


    The new intersections are the deepest holes drilled to date on the S3 structure and lie immediately beneath the southern limit of previous mine exploration and resource evaluations (see Press Release: January 11, 2007). The extensive area of mineralization lies outside the current Resources being used in feasibility studies.


    Reported drilling has tested the new zone, the Deep South zone, down to the 400-m level. High grade mineralization has been drill defined as a shallow western plunging zone, Figure 1. The high grade zone has a vertical height of between 75 and 100 metres and a plunge length of 250 metres, to the limits of current drilling. The zone demonstrates strong vein widths up to 6 metres and will provide for significant Resource growth. The zone occurs within a broader zone of mineralization which demonstrates a strike length of 200 metres at the 400-m level, remaining open to the west and at depth.


    The broader zone of mineralization on the S3 structure is more characteristic of the principal zones of the Lac Herbin mine area. It trends steeply to the west and parallels the trend of the S1 zone (see Press Release: March 22, 2007, Figure 1). The Deep South area dips to the south and away from current mine workings. Deeper drilling of the zone is difficult from current mine workings and development is being initiated to provide access in the hanging-wall of the zone to the south at the 200-m level. This development will provide a substantial drill position that will allow deeper drilling of the down-dip continuation of mineralization in both the Deep South Zone and the S1 zone. The S1 zone has a strike length of 250-metres at the 500-m level and remains open to depth and to the west. At the 400-500 metre level the two zones overlap and run parallel to each other, approximately 100 metres apart. Drilling is expected to test deeper areas of the deposit recommencing in June. Exploration drilling in the meantime will test other defined targets in the mine area and its extensions.


    The development of the hangingwall exploration drilling gallery on the 200 metre level and to the south will tie into proposed ventilation access from the south side of Lac Herbin which is required prior to entering full-scale production. Longer term, this development will provide a base from which Lac Herbin can be developed to incorporate the (currently flooded) infrastructure at the historic Dumont Mine. Potential to deepen the 400-metre Dumont shaft to exploit any deeper discovery at Lac Herbin would also provide for deeper exploration of the Dumont Mine area. These provisions will provide for the planned and staged, long term exploration and development of operations in the area.


    Quality Control


    The Lac Herbin underground diamond drilling program is supervised by Mr. Richard Roy, P.Geo., of NordQuest Inc., Qualified Person (QP) as defined under NI 43-101 guidelines. Assay samples are taken from underground drill core sawed in half with one half sent to a commercial laboratory and other half retained for future reference. A strict QA/QC program is followed which includes mineralized standards, blank and field duplicate for each batch of samples. Analyses were performed by ALS Chemex -Chimitec of Val-d'Or (Quebec).

    Impact Silver - Mining Profits in Mexico


    Doug Beiers
    TheSimpleInvestor.ca
    Nov 25, 2006
    This is Chapter 2 of a tale of market dislocation, and about the man who is President of 2 profitable companies. A man who knows a lot about running a business but is a bit light on marketing skills. All in my opinion of course.
    Chapter One focused on Energold Drilling - EGD.V and how Fred Davidson is rapidly building his fleet of specialty drills and maintaining profits along the way. Chapter Two is about Fred’s 2nd company, Impact Silver IPT.V. Impact is currently 100% owner of a profitable Mexican silver mine and an option to acquire a 2nd project with an operating mill on it. You did get the word "PROFITABLE" I hope. An extremely rare situation for any silver miner with such a small market cap.
    Impact Silver - IPT.V http://www.impactsilver.com
    48.5 million shares Fully Diluted (fully diluted adds another $9 million cash)
    Cash on hand approx $3.5 Million, no long term debt.
    Profits are Important
    Impact Silver is one of the few PROFITABLE junior silver miners operating in Mexico that I am aware of, and I believe the only profitable one with such a small Market Cap. With the stock trading at $1.60 on Friday’s close the market cap is still quite low considering they have already announced their 2nd acquisition which just went into production. Their first acquisition "The Royal Mines of Zacualpan" was completed in January this year and has been profitable and cash flow positive from the very beginning.
    No Hedges
    This is quite an amazing feat considering that all the considerable upgrades, repairs and improvements to the mine are "expensed" not capitalized. Second quarter results maintained this theme of profitability while the company continued to invest substantially in improvements and efficiencies. The company also managed to eliminate a silver and base metal hedge they inherited. A year to date (6 months) net income of $600,000.00 may not sound like much in the field of mining but it does show where Fred's focus is, on profits, shareholder value, and growth. Fred treats mining like a business - how original.
    Expansion
    The Zacualpan processing plant has a capacity of 500tpd and has been running at about 200tpd while repairs and upgrades are being put into place. Over the next month or two it should be ramped up to 300tpd as new zones of ore are brought into production. In several more months 500tpd will likely be achieved but such mundane items as drill & sampling results, permits, power, and road improvements, all take time if done well. Fred does like to do things properly. Current production results in a final grade of 250-300gpt silver eq which in my estimation is a conservative approach with the abundance of rich veins scattered over the 125 square miles of property, but that is Fred’s way.
    Vast Exploration Opportunities
    Recent sampling on in-situ veins grade from: 841grams per ton silver(gpt/ag), 422gpt/ag, 783gpt/ag, 2,389gpt/ag, and higher. These are typical of what they are discovering in a multitude of areas. I also believe that since they have discovered hundreds of old shallow workings that were restricted to mining to the water table, it is likely most of these are high grade zones that continue much deeper. The exploration future is huge on this vast 125 sq km property. (highlights from the most recent drill program are below)
    Visit to the “Royal Mines of Zacualpan”
    My background is business management and Impact has been my largest holding for close to 2 years now, and I bug Fred a lot. In fact a couple times I really got on his case. Presidents must shudder when the secretary says "a shareholder is on the phone and wants to talk to you".
    Sometimes being a pest pays off because I got invited to a mine tour with a few others October 22-24 '06. Well, truth be known I pushed a bit and someone else was forced to cancel at the last minute.
    Darrell Rader "Corporate Development" met us at the Mexico City airport as Fred was already at the mine site. By the time we left it was getting dark and raining so the drive to Zacualpan was pretty much a blank, but fun. The other guys were a bunch of good-natured jokers. The following morning Fred commented to me "I thought it was important for you to see the operation for yourself so you would have a better idea of why we do what we do".
    What an eye opener!
    First off the countryside is beautiful. The mountains are more like a series of huge hills as there are no peaks, just vast very steep rolling hills everywhere (link to Photo Gallery here: http://www.thesimpleinvestor.c…er-zacualpan-mine-photos/ ). We toured the mill, the newly upgraded lab and production facilities, then went underground visiting old adits where recent sampling had been done, and observed the current areas of active mining.
    Then, the trip from hell (for me) over various mountain roads to locations where future production is to come from. I don't know how many times the wheels of our van “seemed” mere inches away from a +1,000' sheer drop-off. No nice safety railings either. They no longer looked like hills and this trip was beginning to appear more like a seriously dangerous adventure. That’s what happens when a “flatlander” is first exposed to mountainous terrain. Your depth perception is all screwed up for a while. These are the same roads that trucks will have to navigate to bring in the ore from future mining areas. I began to realize that mining here takes a lot of preparation. They may have a huge and extremely rich exploration property, but it does take a lot of careful planning.
    Totally Impressed
    The bottom line is we all were totally impressed with many things. The beauty of the area, friendly and helpful people, the obvious quality and talent of the Mexican management, but mostly with how well Fred and Vice President George Gorzynski converted a haphazard run-down operation into a well oiled and professional mining operation. The Impact owned homes on the mine-site (for senior staff) were “like a Club Med” one person commented. These facilities are great way to help ensure the loyalty of high quality key people. There is even a clubhouse where we were entertained by the staff and spent a casual evening enjoying excellent food presented with obvious pride. It was clear to all of us that The Royal Mines of Zacualpan is a huge success and will continue to be as long as Fred Davidson is in charge.
    This is not to minimize the role of Vice-Pres George Gorzynski. George has been instrumental on the acquisitions side as well as the key for exploration success. He and Hector Salas are responsible for the Zacualpan and Zacatecas acquisitions and the grass-roots discoveries at The Royal Mines of Zacualpan. This is definitely a team effort.


    Growth Plans
    Along with a steady ramping up of production to 500tpd the company is studying portable mills as there have been substantial recent improvements with them. The cost of a complete mill that will produce concentrate would appear to come in between $250-$500,000.00 for a 100-200tpd mill. Extremely economical. Two reasons for adding portable mills would be:
    1/ It's cheaper to truck concentrate than it is raw ore. If gas prices skyrocket then even more savings would be realized.
    2/ Metallurgy. A different mix of metals would mean different chemicals required in the processing procedure (floatation circuit). They are currently working with silver/zinc/lead ore, but some areas of the property have a rich copper content. Rather than changing the process at their 500tpd operation it may make sense to add to production with portable mills. They could keep adding mills as they explore further out as these can be installed anywhere that power can be accessed – but - this is looking much further down the road.
    Marketing is their Weakest Link
    Fred and George are always 43-101 compliant, especially with news releases which can make their news kinda dull compared to some other "wildcaters" out there. But that's just how they are. Not many "forward looking" statements are made. I guess that's why Fred organized this trip, so some of us could see for ourselves and assist in getting the word out about this gem of a mine operation.
    Profits & A Wide-Open Exploration Future
    Even though the focus of my story has been on PROFITS, both Fred and George primarily consider the Royal Mines of Zacualpan property as a vast and exciting exploration project.
    Here are highlights of the latest drill results announced October 12/06 that illustrate what they are discovering, all are True Widths and have gold credits as well:
    Depth (m) Silver (g/t) Zinc (%) Lead (%)
    1.1 841 43 0.32
    2.4 422 1.54 0.69
    2.7 937 1.88 0.75
    0.9 460 0.45 0.36
    3.5 249 2.27 0.93
    1.3 274 4.4 1.02
    0.9 279 2.52 1.47
    0.9 746 3.08 1.08
    For those not familiar, the above would all be considered profitable ore grades. I can see many years of exciting exploration discoveries here, likely many generations.
    Summary
    It is my opinion that Impact offers the best of all investments if you are looking for a longer term silver investment strategy. IPT.V offers: exciting long-term exploration potential, hundreds of Bulls Eye Targets already marked for drilling by the old workings, a commitment to growth, and a focus on PROFITS. It would seem that the word is beginning to get out. Impact was trading at around $1.00 at the time of my visit to the mine, but recently the share price and volume have been moving up rather sharply.
    I have not been paid to write this article nor was I asked to. My travel costs were covered and that's it. I own shares of both Impact Silver and Energold Drilling and have for about 2 years. I am a private investor, not qualified to offer investment advice.

    heron,
    schätze mal die fehlenden oz werden über Aqisition erworben.


    Aber wenn man sich die Aktivitäten, die in der Mitte des Berichts aufgeführt werden ansieht, dann passiert da eine Menge.
    Müssen wir wohl mal den 10.5. abwarten, wenn das Financing endet.


    @silbernugget,
    hast ja gut erwischt.
    Hab schon einige gewusst, die es verwenden. Entfallen! :D


    Wenn man sehr große landpackages hat, wird da mal abgetastet, wo was ist.
    Das target wird dann konventionell mit elektromagnetischen Strahlen erfasst.
    Auf diese Ergebnisse setzt man dann die Bohrungen an, vereinfacht dargestellt.


    Das genial einfache Konzept von Steve Regocci ist , dass er diese Methode in der nähe laufender großer minen machte und sich das Land sicherte.


    Ich hab hier mal die Karte reingestellt vor einigen Monaten.
    Wenn sie wer gespeichert hat noch mal rein damit. Ich mein die große, die ist jetzt nicht mehr auf der Homepage.

    Garibaldi Teams Up With MacDonald Dettwiler and Hyvista to Conduct Hyperspectral Air Survey Over Mexican Concessions
    Thursday March 22, 9:00 am ET


    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 22, 2007 -- Garibaldi Resources Corp. (the "Company") (CDNX:GGI.V - News) is pleased to announce it has entered into contracts with MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. of Richmond, B.C. and HyVista Corporation Pty. Ltd. of Sydney, Australia to conduct a fixed wing hyperspectral air survey over the Company's 3500 sq. kms of mining concessions in Mexico's Sierra Madre. All of Garibaldi's concessions cover historic precious metal occurrences and extensive areas of alteration typical of epithermal systems defined throughout the Sierra Madre which the Company has been evaluating since mid 2005.


    With one of the largest land packages in the prolific Sierra Madre Mineral Belt, Garibaldi is implementing a cost effective, value added strategy, by employing state of the art technology, to more efficiently prioritize areas of interest and identify new exploration targets for drill testing. This more economic approach to exploring such a vast concession area is made viable with advances in hyperspectral and GPS technology combined with proof of concept trials on Garibaldi's first project at Morelos. The survey is scheduled to be completed in May.


    About Hyperspectral: A major advance in remote sensing, imaging spectroscopy allows a special detector system to gather reflected radiation from a ground target in a digital format which is then processed to identify unique spectral features. In essence, this procedure identifies a naturally occurring bar code. No two minerals display the same arrangement of unique spectra in the exact same manner.


    About Garibaldi Resources Corp.: Garibaldi Resources Corp. is a next-generation exploration company utilizing newly emerging technology to generate acquisition targets in large under-explored historic mining districts in Mexico's Sierra Madres near recent discoveries which demonstrate the potential that vein systems exploited by early miners were the expression of much larger gold and silver deposits.


    About MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.: MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. provides advanced information solutions that capture and process vast amounts of data, produce essential information and improve the decision making and operational performance of business and government organizations worldwide. Their common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TSX:MDA.


    About HyVista Corporation: HyVista Corporation is a global leader of airborne hyperspectral remote sensing data and information products, and developer of the renowned HyMap Hyperspectral Sensor.

    Mexico Mike spricht mir aus der Seele..... :D


    Besonders:
    Well it does contribute some value. It lets me know the optimum conditions are at hand to be buying. This of course is in contrast to the other popular, senseless waste of time on a forum, which is cheerleading when things are going well. When I see boundless optimism and wildly escalating price predictions, it serves the purpose to underline that I should not be lured into buying those stocks.

    Einige Bemerkungen:
    Ich kann mit KGV nicht besonders viel anfangen.


    Warum?
    Darum:
    . Our balance sheet strength also does not reflect the current market value of our equity investment in IMPACT. Based on closing market prices at April 18, 2007 the investment has a current market value of $13 million or $10 million more than our carrying cost. Energold had 22.2 million shares outstanding as of December 31, 2006.



    Mal anders:
    ca 52 Mille MC.
    Jetzt wird es ja langsam so, dass man ein .TO listening wirklich auch anstreben kann.
    18,5 mille Cash. Plus Beteiligung an IMPACT. Heute knapp 12 Mille.
    Es wird wohl wirklich so werden, wie im Oktober od. Anfang November hier angekündigt, dass der Wert der Impactbeteiligung die damalige MC von etwa 22 Mille erreicht.
    Also ich rechne definitiv mit einem Verdoppler von IPT. da lass ich mich festnageln...
    Noo, wann net, hab ich mich getäuscht.


    Außerdem hat man noch die Landbesitze in der Dom. Republik!


    Bleiben 22 Mille und an denen muss man die Ergebnisse messen.
    Mach ich jetzt nicht. Soll der miner 2007 machen!


    Glaube auch, dass die was machen müssen mit dem cash.
    Entweder kaufen die die restlichen 50% an der Drilling Firma oder sie kaufen sich noch eine dazu.
    Hej, warum nicht CABO!


    Der Impact anteil wird ja auch mal verklopft werden.
    Also bleibt es hier sehr spannend.
    EGD ist für mich noch immer unterbewertet, aber nicht mehr so haarsträubend wie zur eröffnung des Threads. :D


    Vor allem kann man um Kurse um die 2 bedenkenlos (na ja!!!) einsacken.

    Treffen mit Garry Lowder und seiner Gattin Margot in Burghausen.
    Sie waren vorher in London, Paris und Zürich, am nächsten Tag in Bordeaux.
    Wir waren 4 Teilnehmer und ich außerordentlich froh, überhaupt dabeisein zu dürfen, weil ich bin sicher nicht Zielpublikum.....
    Herzlichen Dank noch mal, emoba!
    Also verlief es außerordentlich familiär, was ich durch untterbrechen des Vortrags reichlich nützte.
    Durch verschiedene Ursachen (Computerumstellung, nicht ins Forum können etc.) war ich so was von unvorbereitet, dass ich mich hinter meinem Notebook verschanzte, wo ich Infos parat hatte.
    Was ich im übrigen als sehr unhöflich empfinde. Ich klappte es dann auch bald wieder zu.
    3 Mille Cash hat MAR, im letzten Interview vom jänner waren es noch 4, sagte das Notebook. Da hakte ich gleich nach. Ursache: 3 Mille US$, 4 Mille AUS$.


    Beide sind Geologen und das merkt man dann auch daran, wie Malachite aufgebaut ist.
    Es geht um Land, Land und noch einmal Land. Weil da hat der Geologe sein Betätigungsfeld.


    Vorab: Malachite ist Explorer und will vielleicht erst mit einem 3. od. 4. Projekt ein producer werden.
    Geldschonend ist man zur Zeit mit JV´s etc., wie bei Tooloom und Conrad, unterwegs.


    Möglich erscheint auch eine Erweiterung Richtung Mexico, was erst zur Sprache kam, als ich von meinen Mexico Minen wieder mal zu quasseln begann. So als Beispiel .....
    Von dem halte ich übrigens nicht viel, weil es MAR auch nicht braucht, jedenfalls zur Zeit.


    Übersicht: http://www.malachite.com.au/html/about_malachite.htm
    (diesen Link benutzen, da gibt´s Infos zu den 4 Projekten!!!)



    MALACHITE HAT VIER HAUPTPROJEKTE:


    - Tooloom Gold Project, where Newmont is spending up to $5 million to farm in

    - Conrad Silver Project, wholly owned, comprising multiple high grade silver-base metal lodes


    - Mt Isa Region Copper Project, where drilling has intersected high grade copper-gold mineralisation at two prospects


    - Elsmore Tin/Tungsten Project, tin and tungsten in hard rock greisen and alluvial deposits



    Tooloom: Newmont pays management fee of 12%. Dadurch werden alle laufenden Kosten gedeckt.
    Ein Drill Rig.
    Da kam auch die Methode zur Sprache, die Garibaldi verwendet (aus dem Flugzeug).
    Moriarty. " Today Garibaldi is doing exactly the same thing but with far more advanced technology-using satellites and advanced imagery software. Technically it's called ASTER imaging for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer. Sorta makes you wonder if any of the Government Wonks who come up with names like that actually speak English as a native language."


    Man kann sich auf Newmont know how verlassen.


    Hab da ein bisserl nachgehakt unter dem Motto, nur ein Rig, großes Gebiet, da müsse man schon wissen, wo man den Bohrer ansetzt. Mr. Lowder bejahte mit einem breiten Grinsen: „Be sure, that we know exactly....“


    Es ist ein multi Million ounce Projekt mit einer breccia pipe Mineralisation wie die großen Deposites in Alaska.
    Mir ist halt ein Rig ein bisserl zu wenig, so allein in der Pampa.....
    Schaut gut aus. News ab Juli.



    Conrad: schaut sehr gut aus, teilweise open pit möglich, Histor.sehr reiche kleine Deposits.
    Vorteil: vielleicht heute weniger, aber dafür hat man auch lead, zinc, tin und copper..
    100% Eigentum.
    Als historisches Gebiet erinnert es mich etwas von der struktur an Impact.
    Conrad ist sicher besser als Macmin Gebiet, was auch Lowder bestätigte weil es
    in einem Silberdistrikt liegt, aber viel größer ist als Texas von Macmin.


    Es gibt einige Interessenten an diesem Gebiet (170 km²!!).
    Historisch wurden die kleinen hocherzhaltigen Veins ausgebeutet.
    Für mich rechtfertigt Conrad allein die gegenwärtige MC.
    50 Mille oz Silver, Equivalente (Zinn, Kupfer etc.) miteingerechnet



    Mt Isa Copper projekt: hier ist Straits (haben auch 5% anteil an MAR und sind eine richtige Rohstoffcompany) interessiert.
    Sie sind übrigens auch an Conrad interessiert.


    Das danebenliegende Volga Elderberry viel größer im Gebiet. (auch kupfer, müss man ein anderes mal noch genauer besprechen!!!)
    „Watch this for the net years!“, sagte Mr. Lowder.
    Klar, machen wir!


    Elsmore tin: Zinn und Tungsten
    Teilweise high grade
    Kleine open pit mine möglich
    Low cost, low tech, low risk.


    Die letzen beiden gebiete sind auch wegen der nachbarschaft und den bekannt guten bezieheungen australiens auf diesem gebiet zu China hoch interessant.


    So emoba, jetzt bist du dran mit Korrekturnen und Ergänzungen

    Goldex bei mir schon seit Mitte Oktober.... :D


    Denen von smallcap Investor hab ich eine Mail geschrieben (Einladung zu Garry Lowder von Malachite und gebeten wo Infos zum Miners day in Leoben zu finden seien).
    Da kam nicht mal eine Antwort. Find ich schwach.... :D



    Nichtsdestotrotz!


    IRW-Press: GOLDEX RESOURCES: Goldex Resources (WKN 120488) - der Golddeveloper in Guatemala mit 100 % Kurspotenzial!
    Leser des Artikels: 32


    Goldex Resources (WKN 120488) - der Golddeveloper in Guatemala mit 100 % Kurspotenzial!


    Als wir im November letzten Jahres die Aktien von Goldex Resources in unser Musterdepot aufgenommen haben, verfügte das Unternehmen bereits über eine historische Ressourcenschätzung von rund 430.000 Unzen Gold, die damals von der Regierung und der UNO erbohrt wurde. Jetzt könnte man sagen:?Was ist daran so spannend? 430.000 Unzen Gold ist doch nicht so ein Vorkommen, dass es erwähnenswert wäre!?


    Im Prinzip haben Sie vollkommen recht und all diejenigen, die uns schon länger kennen bzw. Abonnenten des Smallcap-Investors sind, wissen, dass ich die Aktie nicht ins Depot nehmen würde, wenn ich nicht vom Potenzial der Projekte und der Company überzeugt wäre!


    Management:
    Das Management kann als hoch erfahren und sehr international bezeichnet werden. Es ist eine sehr gute Mischung aus Finanzfachleuten, die für die Finanzierung der Company sorgen und Direktoren, die rund 30 Jahre Erfahrung im Minenbusiness haben und damit wissen, wie der ?Hase? in diesem Geschäft läuft. Mit anderen Worten, dass Management ist sehr gut!


    Daher verwundert es auch nicht, dass finanzkräftige Finanziers wie RAB Capital und CIBC Securities hinter dem Unternehmen stehen.


    Die derzeitige Marktkapitalisierung beträgt nur 19,5 Mio. CA$!


    Derzeit sind rund 40 Mio. Aktie begeben und rund 26 Mio. Optionen und Warrants ausgegeben. Vollverwässert bedeutet dies, dass das Unternehmen derzeit nur mit rund 19,5 Mio. CA$ bewertet ist. Wenn Sie jetzt nur die bereits historischen Ressourcen sehen, können Sie feststellen, dass Goldex nur mit rund 45 CA$ pro Unze Gold bewertet wird. Laut aktueller Canaccord Adams Studie werden Goldexplorer durchschnittlich derzeit mit rund 100 CA$ pro Unze Gold im Boden bewertet. Mit dieser Marktkapitalisierung werden somit nicht einmal die historischen Ressourcen abgedeckt und schon gar nicht annähernd das Potenzial bewertet. Eine massive Aufwertung sollte daher in den nächsten Monaten vonstatten gehen.


    FAZIT:
    Mit Goldex Resources (WKN 120488) investiert man in einen Goldexplorer, der bereits historische Ressourcen von über 430.000 Unzen in Guatemala besitzt und diese jetzt mit einem neuen Bohrprogramm bestätigen und erweitern will. Viel interessanter ist aber, dass man auf dem Gebiet von Goldex noch auf eine Vielzahl von weiteren mineralisierten Zonen gestoßen ist. Erste Bohrungen konnten einen neuen hoch mineralisierten Erzkörper nahe der Oberfläche nachweisen. Das gesamte Gebiet hat das Potenzial, eine Multi-Millionen Unzen Lagerstätte zu werden. Neben diesem Projekt wurde eine Neuakquisition in Mexiko getätigt. Darüber hinaus verfügt das Unternehmen noch über ein ausgezeichnetes Management und finanzkräftige Investoren.


    Mit diesem Multi-Millionen Goldunzen Potenzial und dem Management ist die aktuelle Marktkapitalisierung von nur 19,5 Mio. CA$ als viel zu niedrig zu bezeichnen. Eine kurzfristige Verdoppelung würde dem aktuellen Marktwert entsprechen. Bei weiteren positiven Bohrergebnissen sollte die 1 Euromarke in greifbare Nähe rücken.


    ACHTUNG: First Majestic präsentiert sich am Miners Day am 08./09. Mai 2007 in Leoben/Österreich! Nutzen Sie die Chance und treffen Sie das Unternehmen persönlich! Anmeldung unter redaktion@smallcap-investor.de!


    Lesen Sie den gesamten Bericht unter http://www.smallcap-investor.de/downloads/Goldex_April07.pdf!


    Achtung: Joachim Brunner ist auch Berater des First Junior Zertifikates (WKN LS1JEX). Es ist damit möglich, dass sich die in diesem Artikel beschriebenen Aktien im Depot bzw. dem dazugehörigen Index befinden.


    Laut §34b möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass Mitarbeiter Aktien von Goldex halten oder halten könnten und somit ein möglicher Interessenskonflikt besteht.

    Hallo Edel,
    wo siehst du Silber?
    Kann weit und breit kein Körnchen entdecken......


    Das einzig gute Loch ist dieses:


    Development drilling at West Wood is also progressing. The most recent drill result from that area includes 72 feet of 0.122 opt Au. (4.18 grams per Tonne). This result extends mineralization westward by 75ft. and fills in a gap in data for that area.


    Current West Wood Result:

    Good progress is being made in several areas, including earlier stage exploration of the Northwest (NW) Target.



    Aber alles so um 0,3 gpt ist doch ok.

    Moriarty und Garibaldi: den fand ich schon sehr schön :D
    das geht runter wie...... :D
    (ganzer Bericht siehe Vorseite)


    "A couple of years back, I spent a few days driving around Mexico with Dr Peter Megaw who is "Mister Mining" in Mexico and on the Advisory Board of Garibaldi. Peter is associated with many mineral finds in Mexico and works with Mag Silver, Excellon and many other mining companies focused on Mexico. A day or so listening to Peter speak is the equalivent of a Master's Degree.


    Here's how he explained it to me. Millions of years ago, what is now Mexico was first squeezed like an accordion and then released. It's easy to see from the air in many areas of Mexico with clear-cut structures running NW-SE.


    In these NW running structures, the rock was first compressed and crushed. When the plates moved apart, it created long and deep fractures in the rock. When hot, mineral-bearing fluids came up from deeper in the crust, the fractures were perfect hosts for the mineralization to settle as the temperature and pressure dropped. That's basically all any epithermal system is, hot fluids depositing minerals in suitable host rock.


    So basically the entire area has the potential for finding gold-rich and silver-rich systems. As the Spanish moved into the area, they did their primary exploration with the Mark 1, eyeball. Once they found a rich deposit, they looked around to find other areas that looked the same.


    Today Garibaldi is doing exactly the same thing but with far more advanced technology-using satellites and advanced imagery software. Technically it's called ASTER imaging for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer. Sorta makes you wonder if any of the Government Wonks who come up with names like that actually speak English as a native language."




    Tom Szabo:
    APRIL 23 2007 4:50PM - Silver Wheaton is on a roll, just announcing this afternoon that it has acquired Silver Production from European Goldfields for a fixed price of $3.90 (subject to 1% annual inflation adjustment after 3 years) via an up-front payment of $57.5 million. The production will come from the lead-zinc-silver Stratoni mine in northern Greece. Once again Silver Wheaton's revolutionary business model, one that I had prematurely started to write off a few months ago, has taken by-product silver away from the commercials who would have loved to use a forward purchase to hedge a short position on the COMEX and elsewhere. This is a very powerful development for both the silver market and Silver Wheaton coming so close on the tails of the Penasquito deal announced just this past week. Everything seems to be coming together for both silver the metal and Silver Wheaton. If I were more conservative in my investment choices and didn't already have a core position in both, I'd consider rushing out to buy some!

    EXMIN-Yale JV Continues to Encounter Mineralization at the Urique Project, Chihuahua, Mexico
    Tuesday April 24, 9:32 am ET


    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 24, 2007 -- EXMIN Resources Inc. (EXMIN) (CDNX:EXM.V - News) and its joint venture partner, Yale Resources (Yale) (CDNX:YLL.V - News) are pleased to provide an update on the exploration program at the Urique Project. The joint venture has been actively exploring known mineralized areas within the 29,107 hectare project area. Seven separate areas of mineralization and alteration had previously been recognized, and the current program has continued to identify new areas of mineralization.


    Craig Gibson, Vice President of Exploration of EXMIN, stated, "During the last several months we have been completing the exploration work necessary to define drill targets on the large property position that we control in the Urique project. Work at the Cerro Colorado target has confirmed our interpretation of a large scale structure with gold and silver mineralization. Ongoing exploration is focused on evaluating additional mineralized areas to develop more drill targets."

    My 5 cents-worth
    Bob Moriarty
    Archives
    Dec 6, 2006
    It's pretty obvious to an American who can count that with a copper price of $3.15 and a zinc price of $2.03 that our humble cent is doomed. It costs over two cents to make a pre-1983 copper cent and over a cent to make a post-1983 zinc cent. In its finite wisdom, the Congress of the United States has actually come up with a formula to determine if you should average a bill up or down to the nearest five cents. Say bye-bye to the cent.
    I think that of all the metals-related web sites, we are the only site who actually aim to make their readers money. And I take a lot of pride in the fact that our readers have consistently been given good investment advice for years. If you read the site on a regular basis, you have made money in your investments if you are willing to listen.
    So I have a guaranteed 35% return investment only for the benefit of my readers. And the Chinese. Because they can add and subtract and are already aware of this investment. The investment is a measure of how close our economy and the financial system of the world is to total chaos.
    I just got back from a couple of days at the San Francisco Gold Show. (By the way, I will be holding an hour long workshop at the Cambridge House Investment Conf. in Vancouver in January, if you are interested.) Everyone in the mining business is wildly optimistic about mining. But most of the speakers and those attending the show fail to realize how close we are to total chaos. With $370 trillion dollars in derivatives, four US carrier groups off Iran and an $8 million dollar an hour tar baby in Iraq, "Houston, we have a problem."
    Wanna make 35% on an investment? Go to your US bank and buy a bag of nickels. Each nickel weighs 5 grams. 1.25 grams is nickel ($15.15 per pound) and 3.75 grams is copper ($3.16 per pound.) It costs the US government $.067 per nickel to make them just for the metals. I don't have figures for the Canadian five cent piece but it has to be pretty close to the same.
    So while your attention is being focused by the media on the humble cent, the nickel is going to go the way of the dodo bird. Since the price of all commodities is set today by Chinese demand and their foreign exchange surplus is now over $1 trillion, you can count on them dumping US denominated investments (Bonds and Treasury Bills) and loading up on real assets. Like pennies and nickels. All it would take is a mention on David Letterman and you will have seen your last nickel until they start making them of paper.
    The world, your world and mine, is going to start changing at a faster and faster pace. If Bush and the Gang of Fools in Washington have their way we will start a nuclear war with Iran which we clearly will lose in the first 48 hours. That will destroy both Israel and the US, which seems fair, we are only considering attacking non-nuclear Iran because they don't have nukes. There is no one who can fix things, our financial system is way beyond fixing, with the US government some $80 trillion in debt. But you can protect yourself and your family.
    I've been traveling most of the last month and I want to share with you some of my adventures. One of the most interesting was my two-day visit to one of the oldest silver mining districts in Mexico. Mexico is, of course, the largest silver producer in the world with silver production of about 94 million ounces a year. One mine, the Fresnillo Silver mine produces 32 million ounces all by itself.
    Cortez conquered the Aztecs in 1521. Soon after the Spanish discovered silver at Taxco, near Acapulco, in 1524. The 2nd silver district in Mexico was called the Royal Mines of Zacualpan, discovered and put into production in 1527, located only 25km from Taxco. By the 18th Century, Mexican silver mines were producing 9 million ounces of silver a year. Mexico has produced a third of the silver in the entire world.
    Regular readers will remember I am a big fan of the bootstrap model of mining where a company begins to produce minerals at a profit and uses the funds to further explore. The only alternatives are either to dilute existing shareholders on a constant basis, which is the favored business model, or to finance internally. I favor internal financing even if it is not favored in the industry.

    The President and CEO of Impact Silver, Fred Davidson, scored the most incredible coup two years ago in Mexico. He did a deal for the entire Zacualpan district encompassing a total of 125 square kilometers for about $1.84 million dollars US and 300,000 shares of IPT. It would be easy to get lost in the details and to fail to see the real story. He negotiated the deal in June of 2004 with silver under $6 an ounce.
    Fred's guys (who happen to be the best and most professional group I have seen at any mine in Mexico) have discovered almost 200 surface workings. In other words, mines, and it's clear there are twice as many around. This is a district, an entire district with 400 mines which have been on and off in production for 478 years and they have barely scratched the surface.
    Every silver lining has its cloud. I've been to Fresnillo and seen it and seen Mag Silver's property next to the Fresnillo Silver mine. It's in a relatively flat area with lots of room and good roads. The only limit I could see at Zacualpan was the geography. It's up and down and the roads are tiny. There could well be billions of ounces of silver in the hundreds of silver veins they already know about but moving around is physically hard to do.
    Impact is not going to try to maximize silver production. That's very important to mention. Fred Davidson is a bean counter in every good sense of the word. He understands finance and money and profit, that's his background.
    Impact is going to maximize profit at Zacualpan. That's the bad news and the good news. Fred is going to maximize profit but someone is going to be mining silver and lead and zinc there two hundred years from now. Hopefully at a profit. And Fred Davidson is going to use that cash flow to expand Impact into other Mexican silver districts which do have greater production potential.
    Impact spent between June of 2004 and January of 2006 conducting exploration. The district had never been properly mapped and explored on a district scale. One of the giant dangers to a project of this size is that you can go broke before you fully understand the potential. Fred and his mostly Mexican crew, understand that the first goal is profit and the second is a good plan for profitable management of the hundreds of millions of ounces of silver we can see are there.
    There are no good historical records but a reasonable estimate would be production of a million ounces of silver a year for the last 478 years except for the frequent civil wars and disturbances. Bear in mind that the Spanish didn't value zinc and if they came across a high grade zinc vein, they left it. With 1% zinc now being worth $40 a ton, Impact is in the enviable position of being able to focus on the highest value ore which at present is going to be the high-grade and previously-ignored zinc.
    I have been to a dozen or more Mexican silver/lead/zinc properties. In my view, Mexico is a far more favorable place to mine than either the US or Canada. The tree huggers and bureaucrats have taken over mining in the US like a cancer and as mining minded Canada is today, not many years ago, that wasn't true. The giant Mexican family fortunes were financed on Mexican silver/lead/zinc mines and the Mexican miners are among the best in the world if managed properly. Fred is letting Mexican born and trained geologists and mining engineers run the show and they are brilliant. I believe Mexican mines should trade at a premium in Vancouver and Toronto even if they don't today. And while some in the industry are talking $5 copper, there is a far greater shortage of zinc than copper and I believe zinc will sell at a higher price than copper. It may not be as sexy as copper but it's going to be a whole lot more profitable.
    Impact used the period between signing the deal in 2004, and closing in January of 2006, wisely. Once Fred had the reins in his hands, he started mining in a serious way. His deal gave him a slightly dated mill capable of production of 500 tons per day. (getting your hands on a 500 TPD mill for under $2 million is considered stealing in some places) Upon assuming control of the district and mill, Fred began producing about 180 tons a day. It costs him about $50 a ton to mine and mill and his cost of production of silver is about $4.25 an ounce. With $6 silver as in 2004, the mill was barely profitable. With $13 silver and $2 a pound zinc, it's a license to steal.
    Impact produces just under 400,000 ounces of silver today and about 1 million silver ounce equivalent. Their goal is to ramp production up to 500 tons a day and be producing in the area of 2 million to 2.5 million ounces of silver equivalent. By optimizing the mill and increasing the grade after careful exploration, Davidson believes they can produce in the nature of 5 million ounces of silver equivalent. It won't be the biggest silver producer by far but it will rank as one of the most profitable.
    In San Francisco at the latest gold show, one of the leading analysts in the industry took me aside and told me that the biggest problems with the small silver/lead/zinc producers in Mexico was the lack of 43-101 resources. My response is that while that is perfectly valid, it's also perfectly meaningless. The Spanish mined 9 million ounces a year with primitive methods and equipment for centuries without any resources. They simply mined until they ran out of ore and then found another vein and mined it. All at a profit. That's a lot more valid a business model than drilling until a project looks like a giant Swiss cheese, losing money and diluting your shares all along the way.
    Fred has already begun his expansion program. In July of 2006 he announced the purchase of the Veta Grande silver project in Zacatecas. For just about $2 million US and 500,000 shares, he gets a bunch of silver projects and a 200 TPD mill. His real goal in Zacatecas is to control the mill and to do deals with the owners of the prime silver/lead/zinc areas. He's in the drivers seat because the locals bring their ore to him for processing and he gets to see who has the highest grade ore and gets paid for processing it. In a land where mills are rare, it's better to control the mill than the mine.
    I have to mention another company if only because the two companies are intertwined. Fred Davidson started a drilling company he called Energold Drilling so he could control access to drills when mining. The company has been profitable for the last 6 years. How many people can say that in mining? They have set a new record this year for meters drilled and gross profit with 25 drills working. Davidson plans to expand to 30 drills over the next year or so.
    If you want to be in the mining business, it's nice to have your own pet drilling company. I can't tell you how many tales of woe I have heard in the last year about ability to get your hands on a drill. I was at projects in the Yukon with the shortest of seasons where they had drills, but the drills didn't happen to come with crews. They were forced to operate on a single shift a day, which gets very expensive.
    The drilling company throws off cash with $2.4 million in gross profit in 2006. But EGD with only 22.2 million shares owns 6.6 million shares of IPT. So about three shares of EGD is the same as one share of IPT. EGD has a total market cap of $29.5 million Canadian but their IPT shares are worth $10.5 million Canadian all by themselves. EGD also has $15.3 million in working capital. So if you like the Impact story, you can either invest directly via IPT directly or through EGD indirectly.
    Impact contacted me at the San Francisco show and wanted to advertise on 321gold. I had to turn them down because we are simply running out of space. And we are not willing to totally garbage up the site visually.

    REPORT ON MINING OPERATIONS


    Guadalupe Mine


    During 2006, mining of medium grade mineral at the Guadalupe Mine continued principally on the 195m Level exploiting the Lipton, Lipton del Bajo Paulina, Intermediate and Liptonia Veins. In late 2006, mining also began to exploit the Liptonia Vein on the 140m Level. With the addition of a Mine Geologist and Mine Surveyor, the Guadalupe Mine is being extensively remapped and explored. Material from the Guadalupe Mine is brought to surface on a skip and transported approximately only 100m to the plant. Guadalupe will continue to be a major source of feed for the plant through 2007.


    La Gallega (Salvadora) Mine


    Success in exploration drilling earlier in the year led to the commencement of mining in November 2006 from the Gallega adit. Mining began on the high grade Salvadora stopes. Subsequent to year end, mining also commenced on the Lipton Vein and the recently discovered San David Vein is now being prepared for production as well. Material is transported by truck from Gallega approximately 500m to the mill and is forming an increasingly important source of mill feed.


    San Ramon


    At year end 2005, mining by the previous owner was down to Level 8 at the high grade San Ramon Mine. Since January, IMPACT continued mining remnant high grade (2000g/t+ silver) mineral on Level 8 and continued mining medium grade mineral from Levels 7 and 8; both levels are 10 to 12m apart. The ramp reached Levels 9 and 10 and mining from this area was completed during the month of November. Material from San Ramon was brought to surface on a spiral ramp and trucked from the mine to the central processing plant. Further mining from San Ramon will be deferred until a lower adit (a second access) is completed that will significantly reduce underground and surface hauling costs.


    In aggregate, the Royal Mines of Zacualpan now employs a proactive approach to operations and maintenance. Immediate results from the changes include improved worker morale, stronger community support, a significant decrease in operating downtime as well as overall improvements in operating costs and metal recoveries. For 2007, an additional US$1 million has been budgeted to be used towards further upgrades, new equipment purchases and expansion of the operations.


    IMPACT Silver Corp. is a Tier 1 silver focused Mexican mining and exploration company with two producing silver mines at the 125 km2 Royal Mines of Zacualpan silver district; a 100% interest in the 200km2 Mamatla silver district; and seventeen advanced-stage silver projects, along with an option to purchase a producing mill at Zacatecas. Energold Drilling Corp. (TSX VENTURE:EGD - News) owns 6.6 million shares of IMPACT.
