    AUSZUG:
    "Victoria Acquires High-Grade Gold, Carlin-type, Summit Property in Central Nevada
    Friday February 9, 8:30 am ET


    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 9, 2007 -- Victoria Resource Corporation (CDNX:VIT.V - News) ("Victoria" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce it has acquired 100% of the high grade Summit gold property in Nye County, Nevada from a private company named Taminco Inc. The property is located within a large, NW-trending belt of gold bearing structures and consists of a core group of 26 unpatented mining claims surrounded by 245 unpatented mining claims. The Summit Mine produced 8,800 ounces at a grade of 8.23 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold in a small open-pit in the late 1980's...............


    Victoria also announces that it has acquired 439 additional unpatented mining claims (100% Victoria) around its claim holdings at Cove-McCoy. At its Relief Canyon project, it has staked an additional 474 unpatented mining claims to expand its property position beyond the core group of claims it has published previously."




    Die machen das ja nicht aus Tollerei....


    Ich bin auch am Überlegen, wie und wo im Cortez trend.
    Bei UXG müssten mal Meldungen kommen zu den drillings im Kerngebiet Tonkin springs.


    Diesbezüglich ist der link, den ich neulich in silver co. reingestellt habe sehr interessant.
    Mining life: ist eine super Minipräsentation.


    Danach ist UXG im Niemandsland, sollte aber bald wieder rauskommen.

    Hallo Edel,
    die hab ich noch immer mit ziemlichem Verlust. Verkauf ich nicht.


    Nach den bisher besten Drillergebnissen im Cortez trend (Januar 07) kam am 26.3. folgende Meldung.
    Bei silver co kurz wie folgt erwähnt:


    Arger Dämpfer bei VIT.V:
    Bei den Spitzenfunden auf MC Cove gibt´s Probleme beim Bohren ab 300 Metern. Gleich 28% zurück.
    Halte es für übertrieben, gute Gelegenheit in nächster Zeit.


    http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070326/0231024.html
    Interessanter Bericht. Sollte man lesen!
    Auch was sie machen. Drillen jetzt das JV mit Newmont


    Ich richt mich da nach Hommelberg. Wenn der sagt "kaufsignal" kauf ich nach. Die haben nicht umsonst vor ca. 2 Monaten angrenzend an Mc Cove x- km² Land dazugekauft.
    30% gehört nun Kinross (Ex-BEMA), das stört mich.


    Grüße
    Tschonko

    Hallo Emo,
    da schau ich, dass ich dabei bin.
    Genaueres über PN.


    Muss noch die restlichen JV anführen:


    JV mit Macmin: Rivertree und Bonoo Bonoo
    http://www.malachite.com.au/ht…/main_pages/rivertree.htm


    http://www.malachite.com.au/ht…noo/main_pages/boonoo.htm


    Und das schon erwähnte JV mit BHP Billiton: Mt Ramsey


    EL 42/2002 was taken up in 2003 by BHP Billiton, utilising data generated by the Tasmanian Government’s airborne electromagnetic (“EM”) geophysical survey conducted in 2002. The tenement covers two groups of newly recognised EM anomalies located within the well mineralised sequences of western Tasmania. Malachite believes that Mt Ramsay represents an excellent opportunity for the discovery of a major mineral deposit, comparable with a number of others that have been or are being mined in the region. Based on our current understanding of Mt Ramsay geology and geophysics, the most appropriate exploration model seems to be the Renison Bell tin deposit, located approximately 23km to the south.


    http://www.malachite.com.au/ht…y/main_pages/mtramsay.htm


    Dann gibt´s noch ein "Tin" Projekt: Elsmore
    http://www.malachite.com.au/ht…re/main_pages/elsmore.htm


    Die aussichtsreichsten Projekte sind meiner meinung das Farm in mit Newmocht (Toolom) und die 100% MAR gehörende hist. silbermine Conrad.

    Hallo Edel,
    wat bist du doch fürn fixer Jung´ :D


    Glaub es lohnt sich, da einige mal genauer anzuschauen.


    Bei Normabec (NMB.V)hab ich es schon gemacht:
    Also die wär genau meine Kragenweite vom profil.
    Hist. silbermine in Mexico, die schon produziert hat mit reichlich tailings.
    Und einige Gebiete in kanada. Schöner geht´s nicht.


    Aber: Gewaltiger Anstieg seit Dez.06.
    Sie wollen nur die tailings zaghaft nutzen und wenn überhaupt erst in 2 Jahren produzieren.


    Gute grades:

    On the silver stock front, many shares are performing very nicely with some recent standouts such as Sterling Mining of Sunshine Mine fame. Sterling has gotten some recent attention from a newsletter or two and it appears that the progress toward mine startup, the excitement around SNS Silver and the Crescent (now somewhat abated), and the possible acquisition of the nearby Bunker Hill by a mining interest intent on development, have rubbed off on a few old shareholders and new investors. I pointed to the relative value of Sterling versus SNS Silver back in January and I believe there is still some room for Sterling shares to run, but investors do need to be aware of the risks. Among these are a pending lawsuit and disclosure issues which could create bad publicity in short order causing panic among investors and possibly punishing the stock down an elevator shaft. For this reason, I believe Sterling continues to be for speculators only: yes, the rewards are high but so are the risks. Of course, if you view major price weakness as an opportunity to average down, this may be the perfect stock for you. With patience, long term (in my opinion 3+ years) shareholders should be doing very well after some scary intervening moments.


    I am going to close today by listing a few companies which may qualify as primary or secondary silver stocks -- not currently on my "official" list -- as a result of recent transactions or discoveries. This list is not an endorsement or in any particular order. I am simply pointing out some stocks moving into silver that you may not have heard about. I hope to write about many of these in the next few weeks and months.

    Mr Market and the Lemmings


    Today I want to share with you some extracts from Robert G. Hagstrom JR’s (RH) 1990’s book The Warren Buffet Way and explain how many of these concepts tie in beautifully to the volatility in the precious metals markets. For those of you unaware, Mr Market is the name Benjamin Graham (One of Warren Buffet’s most influential mentors) affectionately had for the stock market when explaining to his students the folly of stock market fluctuations.
    The story went as follows: “To understand the irrationality of stock prices, imagine that you and Mr Market are partners in a private business. Each day without fail, Mr Market quotes a price at which he is willing to either buy your interest or sell you his. The business that you both own is fortunate to have stable economic characteristics, but Mr Market’s quotes are anything but. For you see, Mr Market is emotionally unstable. Some days, Mr Market is cheerful and can only see brighter days ahead. On these days, he quotes a very high price for shares in your business. At other times, Mr Market is discouraged and seeing nothing but trouble ahead, and quotes a very low price for your shares in the business.” “Mr. Market has another endearing characteristic, said Graham. He does not mind being snubbed. If Mr Market’s quotes are ignored, he will be back again tomorrow with a new quote. Graham warned his students that it is Mr Market’s pocketbook, not his wisdom that is useful. If Mr Market shows up in a foolish mood, you are free to ignore him or take advantage of him, but it will be disastrous if you fall under his influence.”


    Unfortunately or fortunately depending on which way you want to look at it, many of the participants in this precious metals bull market are driven by short term “price action” rather than fundamentals. If something is going up in price, people generally feel compelled to buy it on expectation of higher prices to come (Regardless of the fundamentals). To consider selling in an overbought environment becomes completely out of the question, as the thought of selling early and missing out on “extensive” future gains are too difficult to take. I can still remember some of the nasty emails I had the pleasure of receiving this time last year. I suggested in an article that “some” profit taking may be a prudent strategy, given the excessive valuations that existed at the time (Gold equities trading at 2.5–3 times NAV). Conversely, if people own something and it is dropping in price, human nature dictates that you sell what it is that is falling in value, especially when the pain of holding becomes too much of a burden. This usually means holding the asset initially as it falls in expectation of a short term correction and the resumption of the existing rally. Once this rally fails to materialize, the pain and frustration of holding an asset falling in price becomes overwhelming and results in its sale (Invariably at the worst possible time). For many the idea of buying during these downturns goes completely against the grain and is made increasingly more difficult when nursing significant losses or even worse, margin calls.
    When you study some of the most successful investors of our time such as Warren Buffet and Benjamin Graham, you very quickly learn that their success was not a function of buying and selling price action. At least not in the way the majority of market participants do so. The underlying principle of their success came from buying businesses that traded below their intrinsic value or what they perceived the assets of the business to be worth at the time. Many of the businesses they bought were undervalued as a result of this irrational selling. RH in describing Benjamin Graham’s investment philosophy states the following: “Graham’s conviction rested on certain assumptions. First, he believed that the market frequently mispriced stocks. This mispricing was most often caused by the human emotions of greed and fear. At the height of optimism, greed moved stocks beyond their intrinsic value, creating an overpriced market. At other times, fear moved prices below intrinsic value, creating an undervalued market.” There are very few sectors in my opinion where this concept is more applicable today than in the precious metals market. Given the volatility and the opportunities to make seemingly fast money, this sector attracts hedge funds as well as many “Get Rich Quick” market participants. These people very often integrate margin into their strategies and Volume 1, Issue 4, 5 June are hence driven primarily by price action. RH in the following paragraph talks about Warren Buffet’s thoughts on the futures markets, which I think are equally as pertinent to the precious metals sector: Buffet worried that naïve investors would be seduced into purchasing futures contracts in hopes of reaping large gains. The low margin requirements associated with futures contracts he said would invite gamblers seeking quick profits. Such short-term mentality, he said, is the reason why promoters of penny stocks, casino gambling and lottery tickets never face a shortage of takers. These market participants are responsible for the wild fluctuations we have grown accustomed to over the last 5 years and will in my opinion increasingly become a significant part of the landscape. This environment is also exacerbated by a select group of opportunistic stock promoters and precious metals writers. These individuals take advantage of the conditions to sell more newsletters and jack up stock prices.
    The following are promotional examples based on what I have read at various market peaks over the last few years (The information is a mix of both free and subscription based services):


    • “With the introduction of the Silver ETF, Silver is going to US$30 plus an ounce over the next few months! Buy these stocks and take advantage of the move!” – The price of Silver dropped to under US$10 an ounce over the following months and the Silver stocks fell like a stone.


    • “This stock has 10 Bagger written all over it! It trades at a PE ratio of 5 and Gold stocks generally trade at an average PE ratio of 20+” – I latter discovered this same stock was simultaneously being promoted by Jim Cramer just before we had a correction in the precious metals markets.


    • “I hold so much of this stock that my wife will divorce me if it doesn’t perform well! It is a 10 bagger in the making” – Incidentally the stock halved a few months later but as far as I know this individual is still married! I questioned this rather overzealous prediction and to my surprise I was deregistered from the mailing list (Needless to say I was devastated). It was no coincidence that he was paid by the company on a promotional basis.


    • “This is one of the most promising Silver exploration plays in China. (A buy up to $3.00)” – This stock had no defined resource to speak of and at a price of US$3.00 attracted a market capitalization of US$100 million
    +. The last time I looked at the price it was US$0.03 a share. Questions to the editor went unanswered (I am no longer a subscriber). Whilst these conditions create frustrating corrections, they also bring about wonderful buying and selling opportunities. The trick is to be able to train yourself to focus your attention on the fundamentals rather than the price action and the associated noise. Provided you have done your homework and are convinced we are in a long term bull market in precious metals, these short term corrections should be welcomed. Energy should be directed towards exploiting these buying opportunities rather than worrying too much about which way the prices are going to go over the short term. “The most common cause of low prices is pessimism – sometimes pervasive, sometimes specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment, not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces. It’s optimism that is the enemy of the rational buyer”. “We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful” Warren Buffet. For anyone interested I write a free newsletter on the precious metals market which you can sign up for at the website below.

    Dumont confirms no material change in company's operations


    12:47 EDT Thursday, April 05, 2007


    (DNI : TSX-Ven, DG7 : Frankfurt)



    TORONTO, April 5 /CNW/ - Dumont Nickel Inc. (DNI:TSX-Ven, DG7:FSE) confirms, at the request of Market Regulation Services Inc., that the Company's management is unaware of any material change in the Company's operations that would account for the recent market activity.


    DUMONT is a mineral exploration company with operations in Ontario, Utah and Nevada, with focus on gold, silver, copper and diamonds. All of DUMONT's properties are being actively explored either directly by DUMONT or via joint venture.


    DUMONT is Operator of the Utah Joint Venture which controls approximately 18 square miles of mineral properties across the historic Clifton-Gold Hill gold-silver-copper Mining District. DUMONT has been exploring several properties in the District since 2003 and has currently three active gold projects, two of which are in advanced exploration stages and one is in the early discovery stage.


    DUMONT holds one of the most prospective land positions in the Attawapiskat diamond area in the James Bay Lowlands, Ontario, with a carried interest in the Dumont Joint Venture exploring the area through Metalex Ventures Limited and others under the direction of Mr. Charles Fipke.


    DUMONT continues to assess other projects and is currently reviewing several opportunities to expand its operations.


    DUMONT is currently in the process of concluding a non-brokered private placement financing. Proceeds will be used to commence drill testing its recently discovered Carlin style disseminated sediment hosted gold target at the Rattler Project Area, Utah; for ongoing work toward the scoping study in progress at the Kiewit Gold Zone, Utah; for ongoing exploration over the Utah and Nevada mineral properties; for review of new acquisitions and for working capital purposes.

    Excellon Reports Second Quarter Earnings of $216,396 and Six Month Earnings of $7,844,647
    Tuesday April 3, 4:20 pm ET


    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 3, 2007) - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EXN - News) reports earnings of $216,396 for the three month period ended January 31, 2007 and $7,844,647 for the six month period ended January 31, 2007. Excellon generated operating cash flow of $1,875,145 in the second quarter, operating cash flow of $4,123,480 in the six month period, and the Company had $13,805,628 cash on hand as at January 31, 2007. Other results from the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2007 include:

    Test-Mining Operations


    The quarter ended January 31, 2007 was disappointing from a production point of view. Shipments to the Naica milling facility of Industrias Penoles S.A. de C.V. ("Penoles") were 8,546 tonnes during the period compared with 9,554 tonnes in the quarter ended January 31, 2006, 11,536 tonnes in the quarter ended October 31, 2006, and a target of 15,000 tonnes. Although the operations at Platosa could have maintained the targeted production rates, continuing difficulties experienced at the Naica mine restricted the shipments it could receive. Shipments improved during February and the Company reached the rate of 4,200 tonnes per month in March. This rate is forecast to reach 5,000 tonnes by May.


    During the period, development of underground access and mine infrastructure to reach the new mineralization discovered in December 2005 was progressed and initial production from the area was started. With the increase to the mineral resource now available to the test-mining infrastructure that is in place, an evaluation of a mill at Platosa is warranted. Construction of a mill at Platosa will allow production of lead and zinc concentrates and sale to the international markets independent of the current long distance transport of the ore and dependence on the Naica mill operation. It will also allow for better utilization of the mining and crushing capacity now established at Platosa as well as provide a higher return on the metal produced. As part of the evaluation, the planning and permitting process was initiated during the quarter.


    The following are the production statistics for the three and six month periods January 31, 2007 and 2006 and the year ended July 31, 2006:


    To view the following results please click on the following link: http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/Excellon-chart2.pdf


    The average grade of contained metal in ore shipped in the quarter ended January 31, 2007 was less than that of the quarter ended October 31, 2006 (silver - 82.1 g/t; lead - 12.9%; zinc - 6.4%). The reduced grade resulted from the development of the access ramp to the new mineralized zone to the north that unexpectedly encountered a breccia zone of mineralization. This zone of lower grade was outside the interpreted mineral resource and resulted in lower than planned grades being shipped to Naica.


    Results of Operations


    Six months ended January 31, 2007 compared to six months ended January 31, 2006


    During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $7,844,647 compared to a net loss of $5,187,980 in 2006. Gross operating income for the period was $17,426,642 compared to $5,689,639 in 2006. Operating income for the period was $8,178,385, compared to a loss of $5,187,980 in 2006. Included in net income is a loss resulting from the valuation of the Company's silver debenture of $2,820,460 (2006 - $4,423,870). Excluding this valuation loss, the Company would have reported net income of $10,665,107 (2006 - net loss of $764,110).


    During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Company produced 19,538 tonnes (2006-18,528) of ore and shipped 20,082 tonnes (2006 - 17,917 tonnes) of ore. Revenues during the period were $20,686,888 (2006 - $8,180,186) and cost of production was $3,260,246 (2006 - $2,490,547), resulting in gross operating income from mining operations of $17,426,642 (2006 - $5,689,639). Although the amount of ore shipped during the six months ended January 31, 2007 was only 12% greater than in 2006, revenues were significantly increased due to the substantial increase in metal prices and silver grade. During the six month period ended January 31, 2007, an error in calculating the inventory of ore in the stockpile related to moisture content was discovered and resulted in an increase in the cost of production of $511,292. Existing procedures have been reviewed to ensure a reasonable calculation in the future.


    Operating expenses decreased from $10,877,619 in 2006 to $9,248,257 in 2007. The decrease was due to a reduced silver debenture valuation loss of $2,820,460 (2006 - $4,423,870), consulting fees of $159,362 (2006 - $326,320), foreign exchange gain of $402,713 (2006 - loss of $122,859) and amortization of acquisition costs of $363,898 (2006 - $2,489,708). Amortization of acquisition costs was lower due to the impact of the expanded identified Mineral Resource.


    The operating expense decrease was partially offset by increased salaries of $494,578 (2006 - $285,799), mine administration costs of $869,471 (2006 - $471,549), travel and business development costs of $507,875 (2006 - $371,395), professional fees of $254,603 (2006 - $140,213), stock-based compensation of $974,000 (2006 - $582,700) and exploration expenditures of $2,562,036 (2006 - $1,087,151). Mine administration costs and professional fees were higher than in 2006 due to increased operations at the mine and the resulting activities required to support these operations. In addition, the Company's exploration program has been significantly increased from 2006 as exploration work continues to focus on locating additional mineralization in the vicinity of the existing test mine as well as exploring other regional targets. Travel and business development expenses were higher in 2007 due to the Company's increased participation in trade and investor relations conferences. Salaries and stock-based compensation were higher in 2007 due to an increase in the number of employees and the issuance of incentive stock options to newly appointed senior management and directors.


    During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the provision for current Mexican income taxes is $2,665,992 (2006 - $nil). During the current period, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that $2,128,934 (current portion - $755,346) of previously unrecognized future income tax assets should now be recognized. There is no provision for Canadian income taxes.


    Three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to three months ended January 31, 2006


    During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $216,396 compared to a net loss of $4,577,785 in 2006. Gross operating income for the period was $6,382,718 compared to $3,558,102 in 2006. Operating income for the period was $324,196, compared to a loss of $4,577,785 in 2006. Included in net income is a loss resulting from the valuation of the Company's silver debenture of $2,248,177 (2006 - $3,695,912). Excluding this valuation loss, the Company would have reported net income of $2,464,573 (2006 - net loss of $881,873).


    During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the Company produced 6,240 tonnes (2006 - 9,262) of ore and shipped 8,546 tonnes (2006 - 9,554 tonnes) of ore. Revenues during the period were $8,412,207 (2006 - $4,906,403) and cost of production was $2,029,489 (2006 - $1,348,301), resulting in gross operating income from mining operations of $6,382,718 (2006 - $3,558,102). Although the amount of ore shipped during the three months ended January 31, 2007 was 11% lower than in 2006, revenues were significantly increased due to the substantial increase in metal prices and an increased silver grade. During the quarter ended January 31, 2007, an error in calculating the inventory of ore in the stockpile related to moisture content was discovered and resulted in an increase in the cost of production of $511,292. Existing procedures have been reviewed to ensure a reasonable calculation in the future.


    Operating expenses decreased from $8,135,887 in 2006 to $6,058,522 in 2007. The decrease was due to a reduced silver debenture valuation loss of $2,248,177 (2006 - $3,695,912), consulting fees of $89,159 (2006 - $146,320), foreign exchange gain of $323,229 (2006 - loss of $54,221) and amortization of acquisition costs of $65,110 (2006 - $1,939,385). Amortization of acquisition costs was lower due to the impact of the expanded identified Mineral Resource.


    The operating expense decrease was partially offset by increased salaries of $354,993 (2006 - $146,977), mine administration costs of $497,669 (2006 - $264,678), travel and business development costs of $215,347 (2006 - $189,019), professional fees of $126,864 (2006 - $54,984), stock-based compensation of $974,000 (2006 - $505,700) and exploration expenditures of $1,409,247 (2006 - $828,147). Mine administration costs and professional fees were higher than in 2006 due to increased operations at the mine and the resulting activities required to support these operations. In addition, the Company's exploration program has been significantly increased from 2006 as exploration work continues to focus on locating additional mineralization in the vicinity of the existing test-mine as well as testing other regional targets. Travel and business development expenses were higher in 2007 due to the Company's increased participation in trade and investor relations conferences. Salaries and stock-based compensation were higher in 2007 due to an increase in the number of employees and the issuance of incentive stock options to newly appointed senior management and directors.


    During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the provision for current Mexican income taxes is $2,337,406 (2006 - $nil). During the current period, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that $2,128,934 (current portion - $755,346) of previously unrecognized future income tax assets should now be recognized. There is no provision for Canadian income taxes.


    Exploration


    Since the press release for the first quarter, which discussed exploration activities to December 15, 2006, a large number of positive drill core assays for 2006 holes in the Platosa test-mine area have been received, diamond drilling has continued with three drill rigs and an airborne electromagnetic survey has been completed.


    As reported in a press release dated January 22, 2007, complete assays were received for 13 holes containing massive sulphide and sulphide-rich breccia intersections in the test-mine area, 11 related to the Guadalupe Manto. These results were very positive. Silver grades in the 11 holes range between 139 and 1331 g/t; lead grades range between 2 and 21.4%; and zinc grades range between 0.65 and 19.4% over widths ranging from 0.50 to 7.00 metres. Combining these intersections with previously reported holes extends the high-grade massive sulphide mineralization in the Guadalupe Manto at least 150 metres to the northwest past the limits defined in Excellon's National Instrument 43-101("NI 43-101") compliant Mineral Resource Estimate prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates ("Scott Wilson RPA") of Toronto, Ontario, independent geological and mining consultants, and reported on August 17, 2006. The Guadalupe Manto remains open in several directions. Management believes that, based on these results, additional mineral resources will be added to the Guadalupe Manto and plans to undertake an updated mineral resource estimate later in 2007.


    Of the two other holes, LP-325 was drilled in previously untested ground 75 metres northeast of the Guadalupe Manto and cut 5.74 metres of massive sulphides grading 586 g/t silver with 6% lead and 10% zinc. The remaining hole, LP-322, combines with earlier holes to add significant mineralization to a northerly extension of the previously mined N-1 Manto and may link it with the Guadalupe Manto.


    Drilling begun in 2006 at the Crestoncitos area 1.5 kilometres south of the Platosa test-mine and the Canon Colorado area 5 km to the north was completed and returned no significant results.


    Three drills are operating on the property. One is in the immediate test-mine area on 100% Excellon ground, following up on known mineralization and new soil geochemical targets. The other two are on ground optioned from Exploraciones Altiplano S.A. de C.V. One is operating near the historic Zorra Mine 4 kilometres to the southwest of the test-mine. Alteration in this area is very strong and there are numerous prospect pits that have yielded strong silver-lead-zinc anomalies. The drilling is focusing on intrusion and alteration centres with moderate geochemical signatures. The other is testing areas of alteration and previous modest silver-lead-zinc values in the vicinity of the historic Saltillera Mine, 4 kilometres west of the test-mine and north of Zorra. Encouragement in the form of extensive alteration, structure and modest sulphides has been encountered in several holes and more holes are planned in all three areas. Assays for 2007 drilling are pending.


    In mid-February, an Aeroquest Limited AeroTEMII helicopter-borne electromagnetic and magnetic survey was completed over the Platosa property. Very preliminary data processing has been completed and we are confident that the final survey results will be of significant value in geological and structural interpretation and outlining new high potential drill targets.

    MINING POTENTIAL
    Mexico again a prime target for silver miners
    Mining on the old Mexican silver belt is seeing something of a revival as North American headquartered mining companies look at bulk mining the lower grade material ignored by many of the old Mexican mine operators.


    Author: Lawrence Williams
    Posted: Wednesday , 28 Mar 2007


    LONDON -


    At the MCL 20:20 Silver Day held in London this week it was perhaps significant that of the seven companies making presentations to the audience of brokers, analysts, fund managers, press and fellow miners, four (First Majestic, Arian, Excellon and Scorpio) were focusing almost entirely on Mexico and were already producing silver or had late stage projects in progress, while two others, Hecla and Sterling, were looking to Mexico as a route for expanding silver output additional to their existing North American projects and operations.


    Historically Mexico has always been one of the world's top silver producers, primarily from the country's silver belt trending mainly northwest/southeast and centred on the city of Zacatecas in the centre of the country. But much of the mining has been relatively small scale on some of the extremely high grade material which has been found along this silver trend which runs for hundreds of miles. Now with the recent runup in the price of silver, North American companies in particular have been attracted to this area which has the advantage of boasting good local infrastructure, a potential workforce with good mining experience and a relatively stable political environment.


    Few of these old mining properties have anything approaching a modern standard resource estimate, but the initial determinations by the companies involved suggest that the amount of silver still in the ground is very substantial indeed - most of it being considered too low grade to mine in the old days, but nowadays with modern mining and processing techniques can be mined extremely profitably, particularly with the sliver price at the current high levels. Indeed many observers view the outlook for silver as being far better than that for gold - and the outlook for the gold price is generally considered extremely bullish.


    Some of the resources being exposed by this new generation of Mexican mine operators are quite substantial. With most of the deposits being vein deposits, but surrounded with disseminated mineralisation, some of the tonnage potential for bulk mining operations on surface and underground makes for strong mining cases. Yet there is still good high grade material to be found too - as witness Excellon's 1,546 g/tonne silver (with associated lead and zinc) average grade over the past year and a half of production.


    Old mine tailings are also proving an attraction with material grading 200 g/tonne or more not unheard of.


    With the precious metal mineralisation being worked nearer the surface, some geologists suggest that grades may decrease at depth, with base metals grades increasing, but others say that the good silver mineralisation continues at depth. This makes for additional potential as the older Mexican mines seldom went deep - indeed some stopped at the water table.


    What does seem to be possible in this area is to set up and generate a cash flow rather faster than would be the case in most parts of the world. The area is used to mining activity and there doesn't tend to be some of the local and environmental opposition to new mining operations which might be seen in virgin territory.


    One can expect some good, and relatively quick, returns from the miners working the old silver belt particularly if the prognosis for the silver price is as good as many seem to think.

    Premier to acquire "high grade" Mexican opportunity
    Monday April 2, 10:00 am ET



    Shares Issued: 59,135,492
    THUNDER BAY, ON, April 2 /CNW/ - PREMIER GOLD MINES LIMITED (PG:TSX) is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Sutter Gold Mining Inc. (SGMI; SGM.V) to jointly explore the Santa Teresa mineral concession, located in the historic and high grade El Alamo District of Baja California Norte, Mexico. The concession is accessible by road, located 10 kilometres west of Highway 3, some 100 kilometres southeast of Ensenada and about 250 kilometres from San Diego, California, USA.


    This proposed joint venture (JV) meshes well with Premier's NW Ontario
    assets as:
    <<It>>



    The Santa Teresa Concession (STC) is located adjacent to and on strike from the past-producing Princessa Mine (the district's largest gold producer), whose orebody was known to extend close to the STC boundary. Data suggests that extensions of the Princessa Mine along strike and at depth have not been tested. The El Alamo District's gold production halted at its peak owing to technological and political circumstances early in the 20th century, thus presenting a unique opportunity to the JV today. The mineralization in the district is characterized by common visible gold hosted within narrow and near-vertical quartz veins associated with felsic intrusives.
    Premier's senior management experience in the Red Lake District of NW Ontario coupled with Sutter's experience in the Mother Lode District of California makes this JV team extremely well-suited to exploring the El Alamo District successfully. Stephen McGibbon, Premier's COO and former Goldcorp Inc. Chief Geologist in Red Lake commented that "we envision excellent potential to discover high grade ore bodies in the El Alamo District given its strong history, and insufficient exploration." Further he commented that "while this is an early stage project, it is expected that initial exploration could yield very exciting results."



    Premier will earn an initial 50% interest in the project by:
    <<Making>>



    In addition, Premier has secured the right to earn an additional 15% interest in the JV (for a total interest of 65%) by making a further cash payment of $500,000 to SGMI and conducting an additional US$4.0 million in exploration on the property. SGMI will be the initial operators of the project, however, Premier can take over as operator once it secures a greater than 50% interest in the project.
    Ewan Downie emphasized "Premier is fully funded in 2007 to meet its obligations to the Santa Teresa Project as well as its commitments in Red Lake. Our Mexican venture will not impair progress on our flagship Red Lake JV with Goldcorp Inc. and allows the company to pursue a premier high-grade opportunity."

    Lowder (CEO MAR): bei Macmin und straits


    Mc Neil: Macmin, MAR und Tasgold, die heutige Frontier TNG.AX


    Neben farm in mit Newmont gibt es auch mehrere Vrknüpfungspunkte mit BHP billington:


    Einer davon heute, wo auch die tasgold, also heutige Frontier 2006 ausgestiegen ist.


    MT RAMSAY


    The Mt Ramsay tenement (EL42/2002) is located approximately 30 km northeast of Zeehan in Tasmania’s well known West Coast mineral belt. Drilling conducted by Malachite in 2005 intersected pyrrhotite skarn mineralisation anomalous in tin.


    Background


    EL 42/2002 was taken up in 2003 by BHP Billiton, utilising data generated by the Tasmanian Government’s airborne electromagnetic (“EM”) geophysical survey conducted in 2002. The tenement covers two groups of newly recognised EM anomalies located within the well mineralised sequences of western Tasmania. Malachite believes that Mt Ramsay represents an excellent opportunity for the discovery of a major mineral deposit, comparable with a number of others that have been or are being mined in the region. Based on our current understanding of Mt Ramsay geology and geophysics, the most appropriate exploration model seems to be the Renison Bell tin deposit, located approximately 23km to the south.


    The northern group of anomalies at Mt Ramsay lies within the Cambrian-aged Crimson Creek Formation, which also hosts the Renison Bell tin deposit 23 km to the south. A second group of anomalies lies about 2km to the southeast within the Oonah Formation, of Proterozoic age, which hosts the Mt Bischoff tin deposit 17 km to the north.


    Until recently, Renison Bell was the world’s largest underground tin mine, with an estimated pre-mining resource of 26 million tonnes at 1.46% Sn, while Mt Bischoff had an estimated pre-mining resource of 10.5 million tonnes at 1.1% Sn. The ore bodies at both Rension Bell and Mt Bischoff comprised cassiterite-bearing massive sulphide lenses that are electrically conductive, allowing detection by EM surveys.


    A joint venture agreement signed with BHP Billiton in mid 2004 gave Malachite and TasGold Ltd, on a joint 50/50 basis, the right to earn a minimum joint 30% interest in EL 42/2002 by spending a total of $500,000 on exploration at Mt Ramsay, including at least 2,000m of drilling. Under the agreement, once that is achieved, BHP Billiton must either participate in the joint venture, or withdraw. If BHP Billiton participates, it will (unless it later withdraws) fund all future expenditure to completion of bankable feasibility (with expenditure beyond $10 million on a recoupable basis). If BHP Billiton elects not to participate, it will withdraw and transfer its 100% interest in the Mt Ramsay project equally to Malachite and TasGold. Malachite is Manager of the Mt Ramsay joint venture during the farm in stage.


    In early 2006 TasGold withdrew from the joint venture while Malachite elected to continue in its own right, assuming TasGold’s rights and obligations under the joint venture.


    Pre-drilling Field Exploration


    Field work at Mt Ramsay has provided encouraging signs that the Renison Bell model is valid. The locations of the northern group of airborne EM anomalies have been verified in a ground EM survey conducted by Malachite. Reconnaissance prospecting at surface over these geophysical targets has yielded several geochemically anomalous samples, with tin values up to 106ppm Sn and copper up to 0.4% Cu. These results support the view that the EM anomalies are due to base metal mineralization.


    A small skarn deposit is located 1 km or so to the west of the new EM anomalies, at the contact between the Devonian-aged Meredith Granite and the Crimson Creek Formation. This deposit was discovered in the 1870s and was drilled in the early 1980s. It contains anomalous values of tin, tungsten, copper, gold and bismuth in a sulphide-bearing skarn host rock. Even though it appears to have been too small to show up in the Government EM survey, the presence of such mineralisation near the newly recognised Mt Ramsay EM anomalies provides further encouragement that they reflect mineralised massive sulphide lenses, analogous to those at Renison Bell and Mt Bischoff, or perhaps analogous to other well known economic mineral deposits of western Tasmania.


    Drilling


    An initial drilling program was undertaken in mid 2005, with one diamond core hole completed to 410m depth. This hole was aimed at testing one of the EM conductors identified by the Government airborne survey. The hole intersected long intervals of sulphide-bearing calc-silicate hornfels rock, much of it strongly brecciated. The sulphide is dominantly pyrrhotite, with trace chalcopyrite, and ranges in abundance from around 5% up to 25% of the host rock. Assaying of core has confirmed that the pyrrhotite mineralisation is tin-bearing, although only at low levels, with a maximum of 180 ppm Sn. Although ore grade tin mineralisation was not intersected in the first hole, the exploration model – based on analogy with the Renison Bell and Mt Bischoff tin deposits – has clearly been validated. Future field work will address the EM conductors located within the Oonah Formation, with surface target definition, followed by drilling, as soon as practicable.

    Silberfuchs,
    das ist ärgerlich, weil der Aufbau der Seite relativ lang dauert. :D
    Da würd ich gar nicht mehr nachschauen.
    Aber es ist auch so interessant, weil man einfach sieht, wie sich was entwickelt.


    @silbernugget,
    herzlich willkommen!
    Gleich Spezialfragen. Die vielen Werte sind ein problem, weil man nicht am Laufenden sein kann, bzw. ich vergesse einfach das meiste wieder,
    nachdem ich mal gekauft habe.


    Bandera: Penoles könnte sie aus dem Cinco minas rauskaufen bzw. Anteil erhöhen. Aber die wollen schon produzieren, haben auch andere Projekte.


    EXM: wollen definitiv nicht produzieren.
    Kann ich auch nicht beantworten wieviel cashflow.
    Aber wenn du dir den Hochschild Bericht durchliest, könnte man schätzen. EXM lebt von den vielen Projekten und da wird in der 2. Jahreshälfte eine Menge kommen.


    Mina Moris


    In early December 2006, we exercised our option to acquire a 70% stake in the Mina Moris open pit mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, which was owned and operated by Manhattan S.A. de C.V between 1996 and 1999. Exmin Resources Inc. ("Exmin") is our partner in this project and owns the remaining 30%.


    Our current strategy with Mina Moris initially focuses on bringing the open pit mine back into production in a very cost efficient manner and mining the remaining surface ore. However, we are most interested in the surface and underground potential and geological characteristics of the surrounding 30,000 hectare property package we own with our partner Exmin plus an additional 50,000 hectare claim under approval by authorities. This property package is in one of Mexico's most prolific gold belts and is host to the most recent exploration and new mine developments, namely Ocampo, Mulatos and Dolores. We are committed to explore the area with increasing intensity in the next several years.


    We expect to commence production at Mina Moris in the third quarter of 2007 at an initial capacity of 1,060 ktpa. The ore will be processed at a plant which came with the property and is currently being refurbished. Since the operation was initially commissioned in 1996, some of the permits and licenses have lapsed. However, we have obtained the majority of the necessary permits and licenses save for the health license, blasting license and the authorization to purchase explosive material.


    Mexico is a country with a long history of mining. The local reaction to our
    entering the region has been positive with the people of the local village
    optimistic about the opportunities which will arise from our recommissioning the mine. The local village provides a skilled workforce having once worked at the same operation not so long ago. In line with our corporate culture, we believe in an emphasis on social responsibility and have already begun a dialogue with the local communities near the mine in Mexico.
