EXN.V hat ATH. Auch nicht schlecht. Mit hohen umsätzen.

FR.V wird zur Zeit auf den 5,4 gehalten.

Kursziel 7,2C$. Serrr konservativ.

Keith schaut mit Helm irgendwie anders aus....

Den Vergleich mag ich schon nicht mehr hören:
"We maintain that First Majestic’s aggressive growth strategy should catapult it into the upper tier of silver
producers, and create shareholder value as it grows. Given our current assumptions First Majestic will
reach Hecla’s level of production by 2008 and Hecla has a market capitalization of US$700 million."

Hecla hat auch viel Gold, was nicht bewertet wird.

Mei drittes fettes ding SBB.V geht auch wieder nordwärts.

Alles paletti!

PS: Yale hat ca. 25 mille shares am Markt, das hab ich oben vergessen.

Hallo gutso,
ich glaub, dich beansprucht die Sache mehr als dir bekömmlich ist....

Warum soll de motte da nein sagen?
Das gibt Flocken und SNS hat ja schließlich keinen Artikel geschrieben.....
Wenn die Mill läuft, ist es für alle gut so.

Die ist dann schon schön geschmiert, wenn SRLM ihr Gestein dann ankarrt.....

De Motte hat strategisch so viele punkte gesetzt, dass man ihm immer begegnet.......

Grüße und genieße guten Boulevard,
der wird doch so selten geboten.....
Man muss sich ja auch immer dabei vorstellen, dass sich die unheimlich gemäßigt haben beim Schreiben...
Aber was die alles gesagt haben...............

Hallo,
hab mich auch köstlich amüsiert.
Gewundert hat mich bei Bond, dass es keine Anspielung in Bezug auf fantasiefördernde Mittel gab..

321gold.com hat sich schon viele Meriten für die Szene erworben, nur dass das auch mal gesagt wird.
Mir ist das ja im Prinzip egal..........

Moriarty hängt ja die alte geschichte auch nach, der wird da noch immer gehäkelt.

In einem anderen artikel schreibt er, was er für einen guten Deal hält:

Remember my philosophy about auctions? Everything is worth something. With a mine it's a hell of a lot easier to determine than with a plot of moose pasture that you hope might have minerals in it. First of all, at San Martin there is the mill. It's an 1100 TPD capacity mill operating at about 900 TPD. Robert and his crew estimate that it would take about $3 million in development to add each additional 100 TPD of ore to be processed. I don't doubt that bringing the mill up to capacity will be a top priority and will require about $6 million in CAPEX.

The mill would probably cost about $50 million in today's dollars to replace. Starcore's deal with Goldcorp is to pay a total of $26 million for the mill and two mines, $24 million in cash and $2 million in Starcore shares. Robert has done a brilliant job of keeping the number of shares down and he came into the deal with only 12.7 million shares outstanding. After all is said and done in the financing, there will be about 62.1 million shares fully diluted. So at the very least, he is paying $.50 on the dollar for the plant and equipment which isn't all that bado dealo, as they say in Miami.
http://www.321gold.com/editori…iarty/moriarty123106.html

Und den SNS Deal hält er auch für gut.

Schauen wir noch mal, was de Motte gekauft hat. Hier noch mal der Text.
Da hat er strategisch ganz gut gekauft.
Weiters soll man auch bedenken, dass SNS zur sunshine mill muss.

Am besten hat eigentlich Szabo geurteilt, für jede SNS würde er zur Zeit mindestens 4 Sterling kaufen.
Wenn überhaupt?

Under the terms of agreement, Sterling paid Formation's wholly owned subsidiary, Essential Metals Corporation, (EMC) US $4.5 million for the Big Creek tailings facility in Shoshone County. Sterling also conveyed to EMC ownership of 16 acres of land near the facility. Sterling's final payment of US $3.9 million has now been made.

"We're fortunate because this transaction is not only good news for both companies, it's good news for the Idaho economy, workers and the environment," Bill Scales, President of Formation Capital, U.S. (Formation), said from his Salmon, ID office. "Sterling needs a tailings facility for its future operations at the Sunshine Silver Mine, and this facility is well-suited for their needs. At the same time, the environmental impact is reduced because Sterling won't have to build that capacity. The local communities stand to benefit from these operations."

The tailings facility was part of EMC's Big Creek Hydrometallurgical Complex located east of Kellogg, ID. EMC remains the owner and operator of the Complex, which includes the Sunshine Precious Metals Refinery, the SXEW copper refinery, the hydrometallurgical plant, the concentrate loading and unloading facility and the associated land package and buildings.

Yale Re-Starts Multiple Field Programs in Mexico
Thursday January 18, 2:08 pm ET

VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 18, 2007 -- Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:YLL.V - News) (Frankfurt:YAB.F - News) is pleased to report that exploration programs on the Urique Project and Zacatecas Venture have re-started after the Christmas break. Yale has the right to earn a 75% interest in the Urique Project from EXMIN Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EXM.V - News) and the right to earn an 80% interest in the four properties that make up the Zacatecas Venture from IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:IPT.V - News).
In addition, the Company is organizing a field program for its wholly owned Carol copper-zinc property and is vetting additional opportunities in Mexico.

The Zacatecas Venture -- preparation for drill program:

Fieldwork has re-started on the Zacatecas Venture -- currently made up of four properties. To date 121 samples have been taken from various workings and outcrops on the Salvador and San Jose claims. The continuing fieldwork will finish sampling and geological mapping at Salvador and San Jose as well as complete the sampling and mapping on the San Sabino and Zacatecas claims. Results are pending and will be released once they have been received by IMPACT Silver -- the operator of the exploration programs.

The exploration targets at Zacatecas are bonanza grade silver veins that have been the subject of mining in the district since the arrival of the Spanish some 450 years ago. Each of the properties in the Zacatecas Venture has seen past production as evidenced by the numerous shafts and old waste dumps that have been identified to date. These dumps (see news release dated October 17, 2006) have averaged greater than 250 g/t silver in initial sampling.

IMPACT has a diamond drill that has been committed to the Zacatecas Venture and this drill is expected to start a first phase drill program on the properties during the first quarter of this year.

The Urique Project -- detailed sampling to define drill targets:

There are currently two field crews working on the 290 square kilometre Urique Project. The first field crew is finishing work on the Cerro Colorado target. The Cerro Colorado target is a 2+ km long structurally controlled breccia, which initial sampling by EXMIN showed +1 g/t gold occurring at a series of locations along the entire strike length of the structure.

The current program at Cerro Colorado is designed to fully test this mineralization by detailed geological mapping and sampling. The goal of this program is to define drill targets for a significant drill program planned for late 2007. Results from this first phase of exploration are pending and will be released when the partners have received the full data set and have integrated the results into the growing database that the partners have for the Urique Project. When this crew is finished at Cerro Colorado they will move to the San Pedro target area where the partners have sampled some bonanza grade quartz veins (see news release dated September 6, 2006).

The second field crew has been dispatched to the southern portion of the property where there are four known mineralized target areas. This initial recognisance program is programmed to take two months and result in the partners being able to prioritize the targets for detailed follow-up work programs to take the targets to the drill ready stage.

The main exploration targets within the Urique Project are large-scale precious metal mineralized systems. The Urique Project contains 7 mineralized targets, which include several historic mines and numerous small-scale workings. The Urique Project is located immediately north of Goldcorp's El Sauzal property, currently in production and host to over 2 million ounces of gold, and immediately south of Kimber Resources' Monterde Project, which is host to a reported 800,000 ounces of gold and 45 million ounces of silver.

Ian Foreman, P.Geo., President of Yale, is the Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, for the Urique Project and the Zacatecas Venture.

Yale Confirms High Potential of Zacatecas Properties
Wednesday January 31, 6:02 pm ET

VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 31, 2007 -- Yale Resources Ltd. (CDNX:YLL.V - News) (Frankfurt:YAB.F - News) is pleased to report that results from the first phase sampling and mapping program on the Salvador, Zacatecas and San José properties confirms the significant potential of the properties. These three properties, along with the San Sabino claim, make up the Zacatecas Venture, in which Yale has the right to earn an 80% interest in from IMPACT Silver Corp. (CDNX:IPT.V - News). The Zacatecas district is one of the most famous historic silver mining districts in Mexico.

The historic mines throughout each of the properties and samples near these mines grading up to 145 ounces per tonne silver (see news release dated October 17, 2006) combined with the recent results show that there remain significant exploration potential within the properties and that each property warrants drill testing. A drill is being mobilized to the Zacatecas area and will arrive towards the end of February to commence a core-drilling program on these properties.

This ongoing work is being supervised by consulting geologist Edward Lyons, P.Geo.

Salvador and Zacatecas -- 1,337 g/t silver found in outcrop.

The Salvador and Zacatecas properties are contiguous and host two main veins (with splays) that have silver grades that range from 100 to 1,410 g/t. The Salvador Vein lies to the NE and has been traced for 450 metres within the property. The Zacatecas Vein has one sub-parallel vein and has little outcrop but many shafts and dumps that indicate a strike length of at least 350 metres within the property.

Of the 61 samples analyzed, 31 contained over 100 g/t silver. Due to the lack of outcrop (primarily a result of mining activity) a majority of sampling was done on the historic mine dumps that exist throughout the properties. This recent sampling of these dumps confirmed the earlier sampling and returned average grades 200 to 300 g/t silver.

The highlight of the sampling program was one pair of chip samples that averaged 1,337 g/t silver over 1.08 metres true vein width on the SE part of the Salvador Vein. This confirms that higher-grade silver mineralization does exist within the vein system and that the down dip continuation of the veins is a viable exploration target.

San José -- additional silver and gold exploration target identified.

The San José concession hosts two vein systems. The northern San José vein is made up of two sub-parallel veins with an oblique splay. Several shafts and cuts on the vein mark its length over 250 metres but the strike length is open in both directions. The sub-parallel vein along the south fault contact has little development and is poorly exposed but extends into a zone of silicification.
Of the 44 samples analyzed, 14 contained over 93 g/t silver. A significant difference at San José from the other claims is the consistently elevated gold values. Previous sampling of dumps (see news release dated October 17, 2006) identified gold values up to 7 g/t and silver values up to 145 ounces per ton. Recent sampling returned 2,180.0 g/t silver (or 63.5 ounces per ton) and 3.15 g/t gold. Outcropping vein at this dumpsite returned 208.0 g/t silver, 1.00 g/t gold, and 2.32% lead over 57 cm.

The eastern extension of the San José vein is poorly exposed but one outcrop graded 428.0 g/t silver and 0.97 g/t gold over a true width of 0.98 metres.

A new exploration target has been identified within the San José claims as recent sampling one hundred and fifty metres away from the known workings and dumps returned gold values from 0.27 to 0.87 g/t and silver values up to 531.0 g/t (15.4 oz/T) in outcrops over a widespread area. Below is a list of results from this new area:

---------------------------------------------------------
True Width
Concession Type (m) Ag g/T Au ppm Pb %
---------------------------------------------------------
San José float 176.0 1.12 -
---------------------------------------------------------
San José chip 0.99 149.0 0.27 1.75
---------------------------------------------------------
San José chip 0.98 218.0 0.36 1.16
---------------------------------------------------------
San José chip 0.98 531.0 0.87 -
---------------------------------------------------------
Field work is on going with additional samples having been sent to the lab. Results will be released when received and interpreted.

Edward Lyons, P.Geo, who supervised the fieldwork, is a Qualified Person according to NI 43-101 and has reviewed this news release. Samples were tagged for identification after collection and securely stored at the IMPACT base camp until shipment. A total of 5% assay standards and 5% blanks were inserted into every sample shipment as a quality control measure. All samples were shipped to the ALS Chemex preparation laboratory in Guadalajara (Mexico) and the pulps were then shipped to the ALS Chemex laboratory in North Vancouver, Canada where a 30 gram split of each was assayed for gold and silver by standard fire assay and a 10 gram split was analysed for an additional 30 elements by ICP spectrometry.

ECU Silver and Golden Tag Announce High Grade Silver-Lead-Zinc Values in Continuing Exploration on the San Diego Joint Venture, Mexico

TORREON, COAHUILA AND MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 31, 2007) - ECU Silver Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ECU - News; "ECU") and Golden Tag Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GOG - News; "Golden Tag") are pleased to report high grade mineralization was intersected in step-out drilling on the Montanez Vein, San Diego property, Durango State, Mexico.
ADVERTISEMENT


Three recent drill holes intersections in the Montanez vein have returned:

- 3,680 grams silver per tonne (g/t Ag) with 7.85 % lead and 10.9 % zinc over 0.75 metres (2.5 feet) in hole SD-06-01;

- 2,801 g/t Ag with 8.89 % lead and 6.13 % zinc over 1.05 metres (3.4 feet) in hole SD-06-01A, including:

-- 5,030 g/t Ag with 14.8 % lead and 8.63% zinc over 0.55 m (1.8 feet);

- 1,254 g/t Ag with 0.91 % lead and 2.24 % zinc over 0.55 metres (1.8 feet) in hole SD-06-10;

- Stringer and skarn-type mineralization continues to be encountered in all drill holes and includes higher grade areas such as:

-- 1.07 g/t Au and 550 g/t Ag with 3.46% lead and 5.69% zinc over 0.83 metres (2.75 feet) in hole SD-06-01.

It is noteworthy that holes SD-06-01 and SD-06-01A, laterally 12 metres (39.36 feet) apart, as well as hole SD-06-10, all intersected the Montanez vein within diorite and are situated 135 metres (442.8 feet) east of an intersection within the Montanez vein grading 1,016 g/t Ag over 1.16 m (3.80 feet) obtained in limestone with associated skarns in hole SD-06-02 (see Press Release: December 7th, 2006). Silver values of 3,680 g/t Ag (SD-06-01) and 5,030 g/t Ag (SD-06-01A) from fire assaying with gravimetric finish were reported over intersection lengths of 0.75 m (2.5 feet) and 0.55 m (1.8 feet) respectively in both new Montanez vein intersections. The silver-rich mineralization in the veins is associated with lead and zinc-rich massive sulphides hosted within with Quartz-Fluorite-Carbonate breccias within moderately fractured and carbonatized diorite. Both holes were terminated within broken ground related to a broad fault zone and before intersecting the La Cruz or La Rata veins.

Readers are cautioned that until a complete pre-feasibility study is completed, there are no assurances that these mineralized zones will be economically viable nor that future grades will be equal to the latest findings.

Skarn and stringer mineralization

Zinc-silver-bearing stringer-style mineralization reported from initial drilling in hole SD-06-02 continues to be encountered within and adjacent to the diorite intrusion. This style of mineralization has been encountered in all holes to date. Assessment of the distribution, character and potential of this style of mineralization will be made after additional drilling and interpretation. Highlights from recently returned assays in hole SD-06-01 include:

- 381 g/t Ag, 0.11% Pb and 0.12% Zn over 0.5 m (1.6 feet) (from 13.2 to 13.7 m) - from an oxidized vein;

- 1.07 g/t Au, 550 g/t Ag, 3.46% Pb and 5.69% Zn over 0.83 m (2.7 feet) (from 104.1 to 104.93 m).

"We are pleased with all the data collected to date on the San Diego JV property with Golden Tag. The quality of the latest results justify further drilling on the property once the current program is completed as the continuity of the veins as well as the grades have exceeded our expectations," noted, Mr. Michel Roy, Chairman and CEO of ECU Silver Mining.

Diamond drilling at the San Diego property is continuing with two holes currently underway and one hole remaining to complete the 3,500 metre Phase 1 exploration program initiated in September 2006. Three of seven known veins on the property are being targeted, on a wide spaced pattern of drilling along the La Cruz, La Rata and Montanez veins. The program of exploration is the first modern exploration on the property and is supervised by joint venture partner ECU Silver Mining Inc. An additional phase of diamond drilling is presently in the planning stage and it is expected that this work will commence after completion of the three remaining Phase 1 holes.

Readers are cautioned that until a complete pre-feasibility study is completed, there are no assurances that these mineralized zones will be economically viable nor that future grades will be equal to the latest findings.

Na sicher doch, wissen wir........

Hallo ihr,
also ich unterhalte mich wie auratico blendend.

Gutso, ich hab ja gestern: Geh voda, da schau her....
in Anspielung geschrieben, dass de Motte jetzt eine demonstration kriegt.

Ich hab´ja nicht gewusst, aber:
Palastrevolution hatten wir voriges jahr. Da war Tom Szabo auch dabei und mit den besten Gründen, wie ich aus einigen mails von ihm entnehmen konnte.
er verhält sich fair.
Moriarty: der typ ist schon sehr gut, seine minenberichte sind excellent.
der hatte eine great panther bei 0,25 im Visier.
Nur, er rechnet jetzt ab, weil er sich missbraucht gefühlt und weil er das gefühl hatte, dass er angelogen wurde. "Look in my eyes....
Genauso wie Bush Senior: "Read my lips, no taxes..."
No, dass er ihm jetzt eine aufbrät, wo es passt, halte ich für gerechtfertigt.

Ansonsten ist es mir wurscht.
Ich las als formation aktionär den Absatz mit Genuss über den verkauf der tailings. Aber die sind nicht so wertlos, wie Moriarty meint.
da kann er im vorlauf (Herbst 07) schon eine kleine Produktion aufziehen.
Und das bringt unheimlich Promotion.
Außerdem hat er jetzt gute freunde bei Formation + Metallurgie und Refinery. Auch nicht schlecht.

Also, schau mer mal Anfang 08 und wieviel geld er noch braucht.
Und das timing für die letzte PP....?
War das intelligent? war das gut gewählt?

Strategic Nevada vs. Sterling

Strategic Nevada Resources (SNS), the new owner of the Crescent mine in the Silver Valley of Idaho, received a glowing write-up by Bob Moriarty yesterday. In his piece, Mr. Moriarty compared Crescent management to Sterling, slamming the latter for ineffectual decision-making. Unfortunately, Mr. Moriarty is about 18 months too late in publicizing his candid assessment of Sterling. His timing is bad for other reasons too, being that SNS appears to be following in Sterling's early footsteps of mistakenly arousing high shareholder expectations only to have them bashed later as reality sets in. This could take some time for SNS as the full weight of reality has not yet hit Sterling shareholders after more than 3 years. Yet the value differential between the two companies has now become so lopsided in favor of Sterling that extreme speculators might consider taking an outright trading position in Sterling with a planned holding period of 3 to 6 months. I would base this speculation purely on property fundamentals as neither company has a man at the helm with exploration or mine development experience (well, actually Sterling's Ray De Motte now has over 3 years of experience but little good has that brought him so far).

Und Bob Moriarty zum selben Thema:

A Tale of Two Projects
Bob Moriarty
Archives
Jan 29, 2007

The classic novel "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens begins with the immortal words, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." It was the most famous opening lines of a book in history. Throughout the book, Dickens compares two cities and two characters. This piece will attempt much the same.

Our goal at 321Gold is to try to support the mining industry by supporting individual companies. There is no particular "Industry" as such that you can touch and feel and see. It's a vast collection of characters and companies and projects and constantly-changing perimeters. I can't predict the price of gold tomorrow much less next week or next month but managers in mining have to guess what the price of gold or copper or moly will be five years from now. If their guess falls too far off the mark, they lose bunches of money for shareholders.

Part of our effort to support the industry and its recropical, supporting our readers, involves traveling all over the world and writing about projects. We hope that we can understand the often complex story of individual projects and companies and do a successful job of telling that story to our readers.

In July of 2003 I drove down from Fairbanks, Alaska to Reno in a truck I had bought at auction in Alaska. Barbara encouraged me to stop in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and visit one of our advertisers, Sterling Mining, since they had just completed the acquisitisition of the world famous Sunshine Mine. I did and the resulting piece I wrote was my greatest failure in writing up mining companies. Ray Demotte of Sterling was the focus of the piece and despite every bit of effort I could put into helping Sterling, he has spent the past 3 and a half years stumbling over his own two feet.

So this piece is going to be an apology to all those readers who listened to what I had to say in 2003 and an attempt to show how I think success in the silver valley is still an alternative for some. While I helped the Sterling stock go from $.75 to $14 in a six month period, with Ray's remarkable ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on a constant basis, he managed to drive the stock from $14 a share to its current $3.10 all by himself. I can only stand by in wonder and watch the remarkable panorama which continues to this day.

In technical terms, all I need to say about the Silver Valley of Idaho is that it has produced a boatload of silver over the past 122 years. It is the largest silver district in North America with production of over 1 billion ounces of silver. Ignoring the lead, zinc, copper and antimony, the Sunshine mine produced over 328 million ounces of silver, the world famous Bunker Hill mine produced more ore but only 161 million ounces of silver and the lesser-known but richest mine in the valley, the Crescent mine, produced 28 million ounces of silver, often with bonanza grades of over 50 ounces of silver to the ton.

In June of 2003, Ray Demotte, President and CEO of Sterling signed a deal to lease the Sunshine Mine for 15 years. His cost of silver per ounce of historic resource was about $.02 an ounce. Every year he has to issue more shares to keep the lease. He got probably $100 million dollars worth of mill thrown in for free. It was the deal of the century and he knew it. Silver was about $4.50 an ounce.

In early January of 2007, Neil Linder, President and CEO of Strategic Nevada Resources (SNS) closed the PURCHASE of the Crescent Mine for $650,000. It sits in between the Sunshine and the Bunker Hill Mine. I spoke with Brian White of the Silver Valley this week. He is the top geologist in the valley and knows the mines better than anyone else. He now works for SNS Silver (new name as of mid-February) as their head geo. He has already planned a $1 million dollar drill program with a target of about 45 million ounces in resources. That's right at $.02 an ounce. But silver is now $13. Alas, SNS did not get a free mill.

When I came down to Coeur d'Alene in July of 2003, I met with Ray, with his top management guy, John Swallow and the wonderful folks at Pennaluna. When asked, Ray thought his stock might go up as high as $2-$3 in the next year. At that point he would do a major financing to get the money to get the Sunshine in production. He had 10.5 million shares.

I told him he had an easy $6-$8 stock just based on the ounces in resource and the name. And that it was mandatory that he get off the pink sheets. He responded that he needed to do an audit to get off the pink sheets and the total process would take about 4 months.

We were both wrong, the stock shot up to $14. By then, Ray thought he was so smart that he ran around Vancouver telling everyone the stock was worth $30. Same stock, no mining plan, nothing had changed except for the price of the stock and his ego. Even I underestimated the value of the name. It made Sterling worth twice what I believed.

It took Demotte 36 months to eventurally get Sterling off the pink sheets, he's the kind of guy who confuses motion for action, he never raised any serious money when the stock was rocketing. By his actions and lack of management direction, the stock plummeted from $14 to a low of $2.60. He's up to 40 million shares outstanding and no one in the valley seriously believes the Sunshine will get into major production under his management. He cost his shareholders $150 million and for that I will never forgive him.

In three weeks, Neil Linder of SNS has hired the best and most knowledgeable geo in the valley. He has the financial support of Pacific International which is Cal Everett in Vancouver who works with the smartest financial and technical guys in Canada. They have already raised $8 million dollars for exploration and development. Silver Wheaton has invested money. (and investors need to realize Silver Wheaton has no deal to buy silver at a discount) Neil's guys on the ground in Idaho have already started a refurb of the few buildings that came with the deal. They have a plan for cleaning up the tunnel so they can get in and drill and are working on planning a drill program to start in 6-9 months.

It's just my opinion and I am biased in the matter but in real terms, Neil Linder and David Greenway, VP of Corporate Development for SNS have accomplished more of importance in three weeks than Ray Demotte has in 3.5 years. They have a real plan, a real management team, real financial backing (for the institutions in Vancouver who just convinced their customers to fork over $8 million to Sterling at $2.20 a share, you should have talked to a few people in the valley about Ray and his reputation. You wouldn't have invested)

I was on the ground at the entrance to the Hooper Tunnel at the Crescent Mine a few days ago. You can throw a rock across the street and hit the processing plant for the Sunshine. The ore at the Crescent is literally across the street from the plant at the Sunshine. The ore Ray wants to mine is a mile away from his own mill. For Ray Demotte to not step up to the plate and even bid on the Crescent shows how little he understands. SNS literally stole the single best property in the Valley and Demotte could have bought better ore than he owns for the cost of a minor drill program. He just doesn't get it.

Ray just spent about $4 million dollars buying a tailings pond from Formation Capital. The negoation for the property is the talk of the valley. Formation had no use for the property and there were environmental issues. They were real close to having to reclaim it and that costs money. While I was down there in the valley I was told Formation probably would have taken any reasonable offer and I heard numbers between $100,000 and $1 million. Ray never asked them how much they wanted, he just offered $4 million. They snapped it up before he could wake up to what he had done.

I'm angry, I think you may sense that. Ray Demotte had the world on a silver platter and he couldn't handle it. I dropped them as advertisers and stopped writing anything about them when he looked me in the eye and told me that his long-awaited audit was complete. Since I knew his financial guy, I knew and he knew that it simply wasn't true. I'll deal with fools but I won't deal with those who look me in the eye and don't tell the truth.

It's a new day in the Silver Valley. The Crescent Mine is the richest mine in the valley. It will be a repeat of the Sterling story but with a happy ending. There is adult management running the place, they are fully financed and every guy now working for Sterling (except perhaps for one) will be putting in his application soon to work at a real mine with real miners.

Brian White understands the valley and where the ore is. He's looking for good help and is thinking about how and where to drill even now. The team is coming together and it's a flipping good team. Tom Fudge is a director and he has deep roots in the valley, he's first rate.

I like thinking of it as the Dream Team. It will be the most interesting silver project to work on in the world. The Crescent Mine under its current management and supporters is aiming at being both the biggest and best silver mine in the valley and maybe the world. With only three weeks under their belt after the closing, it's easy to see they are on track. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the brave, but that is the way to bet.

I almost always shudder when I see mining websites. Many of them are a disaster but I don't mind all that much because I'd rather see them good at mining. The SNS website is a model of brilliance. You can read it and understand just who they are and what they have in mind to do.

SNS hasn't succeeded just yet and Sterling hasn't failed just yet. But I know where I want to put my money and I have. Ray has blown out the last of his authorized 40 million shares and one day soon he will have to hold a shareholder's meeting to get permission to print more shares. If Sterling shareholders ever want to see a return, they need to be asking hard questions of management. It's long since time for a change.

I'd rather be going to the SNS shareholders meeting. It will be the one with all the smiling faces.

Strategic Nevada Resources is an advertiser. We have bought shares both on the open market and participated in the recent placement. I have visited the property and I like it. I like silver and mining in the Silver Valley. I even like some of the chain-smoking old coots I met there who know all that there is to know about mining in the valley and who have left an enduring legacy for future generations. I am biased so before investing in anything do your own due diligence and take some responsibility for your own decisions.

I'd like to see one of the silver juniors become a 10 million ounce silver per year producer and my money is on SNS to do it first. They will stumble and make the odd decision now and again but I believe they will not be making the same bad decisions again and again for 3.5 years.

I am still on the road, and won't hit home for another 4 (four) weeks many of which will be spent in the boondocks of Tanzania, so please hold off sending email until the end of February.

Hallo gutso,
zu Sterling sag ich nichts als nicht Investierter.
Aber es ist vollkommen normal. ( die Macht des PP!)

Abnormal ist, dass USA.V eine MC von 200 Mille hat.....
Abnormal ist auch, dass das PP von Sterling so schlecht ging.

Wiederum abnormal, dass gerade jetzt so viel frisches geld ins Valley kommt.

Normal ist, dass Sterling die Sally ausperformen wird.

Aber was ist schon normal?

Irgendwie kommt mir das auch irgendwie wie eine Demonstration/Installation für De Motte vor unter dem Motto: "Geh Voda, da schau her.....!"

Mir hat der Absatz über Hommel am besten gefallen vom Bond.
War wie Schoko auf der Zunge....

Edel,
dass mit den guten Meldungen und dem nicht Steigen der Aktien sollte man schon beachten.
Bin wie immer cashlos, weil ich schlicht nicht weiß, was hergeben.
Außerdem erziehe ich mich mit dieser Methode auf hervorragende weise.
kann mich noch erinnern, da hab ich mal Cash gemacht, a bisserl mehr als sonst und nach drei Tagen war es wieder weg.
Ich hab ja immer mindestens 5 aktien im schädel, die ich begehre.....
Das mit den Aktien ist mir übrigens lieber als mit Frauen.......
Mann, das wär erst ein Chaos....
Da mag ich ja gar nicht dran denken.
Schluss, auuus, schluuusss....

Aber 2 orders hab ich drinnen für Morgen.

Mei, sooo scheen...
Every member of the fam damily was there, from pony-tailed newsletter hucksters who'll write you up nicely for a mere million shares, to serious people in the mining and journalism industry. (As in any bull market, the greedheads come out of the woodwork, and those who've never endured a bear market are their fair prey, one supposes. For an unvarnished review of the Cambridge show, go to Jason Hommel's website. He has the twin virtues of being unable to lie, and of being our loyal friend. And Jason's splendid wife Shawna is a good cigarette-smoking friend, as good to Jason as a lady can be.

John Embry of Sprott Asset Management of Toronto, gave what is becoming to be his hallmark tub-thumper, spelling out in dizzying detail the spiraling chaos that has enstrangled the derivatives markets. It's truly horrifying: “The U.S. Financial markets' problems are so intractable that we face the eventual collapse of the US dollar and the very real possibility of a depression. The Federal Reserve Bank will resort to unbridled money-printing to hold this off. The end of the U.S. Dollar hegemony is at hand, but there is no other currency of any credibility to replace it. We are at the end of an era of global currency.”

Sky's the limit for precious metals, Embry added. “Silver will shock the markets, doubling or tripling in price in the near-term.” John Embry is a pleasant and cautious guy, so words like these from him were a bit non-plussing. But not nearly so as a presentation given by one of the head honchos of the Royal Bank of Canada the night before Cambridge kicked off. This guy scared us.

Von mir aus. Soll sein, Mr Embry.....!

Brilliant Mining Corp.: Winner Orebody-Development Initiated to Increase Production by 75% Lanfranchi Nickel Mine, Kambalda District of Western Australia

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jan 30, 2007 (CCNMatthews via COMTEX News Network) --
Brilliant Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BMC) ("Brilliant" or the "Company") today announced that the Lanfranchi JV (Brilliant Mining 25% and Sally Malay 75%) has completed the Winner box-cut, bored and fired the Winner Portal and commenced development of the main decline to access the Winner high grade nickel orebody at the Lanfranchi Nickel Mine in the Kambalda District of Western Australia.

Key Point Summary:

- Lanfranchi JV completes Winner box-cut, establishes the Winner Portal and commences development of the Winner main decline ahead of schedule

- High grade Winner ore will increase current mine production of contained Ni metal by 75%, improve ore grade and directly increase payability

- Winner Probable Reserve of 132,369 tonnes at 4.10% Ni containing 5,426 tonnes Ni metal(i)

- First ore scheduled for delivery to the concentrator in Q3 2007

- Winner scheduled to produce ore for 16 months at 8,000-10,000t of ore per month

"The integration of 8,000-10,000 tonnes of ore at greater than 4% nickel by the third quarter 2007 will increase the production of nickel metal from the Lanfranchi Mine by an estimated 75% over current production levels" states Brilliant Mining President, Mike Sieb. "This ability to progress rapidly and take advantage of opportunities at today's record breaking nickel prices, in addition to the recent sizeable high-grade Deacon Zone discovery, has demonstrated the remarkable value of the Tramways Project."

The Winner orebody is located approximately 1km north of the main Lanfranchi workings and 155 vertical metres below surface. The mineralization is predominantly massive sulphides on the basalt ultramafic contact with minor disseminated sulphides hosted in the ultramafic. A feasibility study was recently completed and a Probable Reserve of 132,369t at 4.1% Ni containing 5,426t Ni was estimated(i). Winner has an Indicated Resource of 110,551 tonnes at 5.56% Ni containing 6,147 tonnes Ni metal(i).

Access to the orebody is from surface via a separate portal from the box-cut located 2.6km north of the current Lanfranchi office/workshop complex. A 5m by 5m decline is currently being developed in fresh rock utilizing Lanfranchi JV personnel and equipment. The current work program is one month ahead of previously announced schedule (See BMC press release dated October 12, 2006).

The mining method proposed is cut and fill with paste backfill, which is the same method used at the Helmut South orebody, to ensure high ore recovery rates and provide maximum flexibility to deal with unexpected changes in geometry and ability to mine any additional ore that might be discovered outside the current resource base.

Benefits/Opportunities

- Adds significant Ni production for Brilliant commencing third quarter 2007

- High grade Winner ore will improve grade to mill and increase payability

- Scope for discovery of additional ore on sidewalls, up-dip and down-dip of current resource shape

- The additional production will spread fixed cost over larger tonnage thereby reducing unit costs

- Since Winner is at a relatively shallow depth, there are no significant geotechnical risks

(i) JORC-compliant Probable Reserve and Indicated Resource estimations have been prepared for the Winner orebody by Lanfranchi Nickel Mines Pty. Ltd., Manager for the Lanfranchi JV.

The project is supervised by John Williamson, PGeol, of Edmonton, Alberta, CEO and a Director of Brilliant, and is the qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

About Brilliant Mining

Brilliant Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BMC) is focused on the production, development and exploration of nickel opportunities world wide. The Company currently has a 25% interest in the producing Lanfranchi Nickel Mine in Western Australia and has 3 active nickel projects in Canada, including the Michikamau property in central Labrador.

Cabo Announces Drilling Contract With KWG Resources Inc.Monday January 29, 9:00 am ET

NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 29, 2007) - Cabo Drilling Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CBE - News; "Cabo" or the "Company") announces that its Heath & Sherwood Drilling Inc. division of Kirkland Lake, Ontario has been awarded a contract to drill 3,000 meters of NQ diameter core for KWG Resources Inc. in the Attawapiskat River Region of northern Ontario

For the drill project, which commenced mobilization in mid January 2007, Heath & Sherwood is using an Atlas Copco S-2 fly drill. The equipment was moved by road from Kirkland Lake to Cochrane, Ontario and then by rail to Moosonee, Ontario. At Moosonee the equipment will be loaded onto trucks and transported over the winter road, when it is ready for heavy truck transports, to the Victor Mine site near Attawapiskat, from this point it will be flown to the drill site. The crews will operate out of a winter camp maintained by KWG.

KWG Resources Inc. is a diamond exploration company focused in the James Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario. KWG's diamondiferous MacFadyen kimberlites are adjacent to the De Beers' Victor Diamond Mine. Current exploration will determine the size of these kimberlites as well as the quantity and quality of their diamonds. Through joint ventures with Spider Resources Inc., KWG Resources participates in diamond and base metal exploration of the Kyle Lake Kimberlites, the Wawa Diamond properties and the McFauld's Lake base metal discoveries.

Mexico Mike zu IPT und den letzten Bohrergebnissen vor ein paar Tagen:
It is not necessarily the geology of our deposit at Zacualpan that represents a challenge. Hydrothermal veins are the source of much of the silver production in Mexico, and have been for centuries. It is geometry of the mineralization that is challenging. Narrow veins are less efficient to mine. You must extract a large amount of waste rock, at great expenses, compared to the relatively small volume of mineralized material. And that is why very few companies are able to operate a modern mine in such an environment successfully.

At the end of the day, what matters is how much metals are contained in the ore that comes out of the ground, and how much you can recover. Regardless of whether you have 1000 g/t of silver coming out of a 2m zone of lower grade rock, or all of it is concentrated into a narrow vein of just 30 centimeters, if you must extract at least 2m to have room to operate underground, you end up with the same amount of metal coming to the surface. As for recovery, certain types of ore are going to yield a higher percentage of that metal that can be recovered in processing. Certain types of processing options are going to be less expensive than others. All of these things matter. So the companies that can efficiently extract the lowest volume of rock and process the material to generate the highest recovery, are going to be succesful in such an environment.

Keep in mind that the drill results are generated from a narrow tube of core material that is about an inch in diameter. They offer a precise sample of what is going on underground at one exact part of the vein, and the interval between drill cores is widely spaced. We know that the veins are often irregular, with widely varying grades, and the geometry of the veins themselves vary, as the mineralized area pinches and swells, laterally and to depth. So just because we see a highly mineralized interval over say 40 centimeters at one point, does not imply that 20m further along the vein, or 100m deeper in the system, we will get the same grade and width.

Typically about 30% of any productive vein system will be mineralized with economic grade material. The higher grade areas are referred to as ore shoots. The amount of development work, and cost to advance the workings, as compared to the amount of ore that can be produced and the value of that rock, will define the economic success of an operation.

In Mexico, what typically happened in the historic mining districts is that a company would mine along a vein and just keep on working it until it ends. Then they would go find another vein, and repeat the process. It was crude and inefficient, but it was effective and that is why some districts have remained in production for hundreds of years.

At the present time, we have the advantage of modern technology that can extend the window of productive mine operation, and increase the efficiency. We also have improved exploration techniques that can identify new ore zones that did not outcrop at surface and were therefore overlooked. Fred Davidson has a history of working successfully in narrow vein mining conditions, and he has refurbished the entire operation to be competitive and efficient.

Do not be dismayed that some of the results appear to be very narrow. Consider that 30 centimeters of 2800 g/t silver rock, and 2m of 400 g/t silver are exactly the same thing when the crushed rock that is excavated makes it to the surface. I do not think that people would be discouraged if IPT reported a 2m interval averaging 400 g/t silver. In fact, even though the mineralization that was reported occurs in a 30 cm vein, the wall rock on the immediate sides of that vein will also have some silver content, and so as that vein material is blended with the lower grade muck that comes out with it, the average grade of the entire zone will be slightly higher. It all matters.

Lastly, consider that most milling and processing operations are not efficient to process high grade throughput. Typically a recovery plant will be tuned to handle a certain range of grade in the feedstock material. So even the higher grade zones would be blended with lower grade rock to arrive at that optimum blend. The advantage of mining high grade ore shoots is that you can mix in a larger quantity of lower grade material to achieve the average blend rate, and there is always more lower grade ore than higher grade ore in any operation.

The bottom line, and the reason why the latest drill results are so extremely bullish, is that IPT has once again demonstrated just how prolific the mineralization is on the property. Just about everywhere they punch a drill core, they come up with high grade mineralization. This is a huge district, and they control 100% of it. There will be no shortage of targets to keep the mine running long after we are all departed from this world.

As the exploration continues, we are going to encounter extremely high grade zones across wide intervals too. We know this because the historic data from the same district is reliable. It is just a matter of time until we get the next great batch of news, and in the meantime, IPT is growing production and making money with what has been accomplished so far.

cheers!

mike

Endeavour Silver Corp.: Größere Ausdehnungen der reichen Silbermineralisierungszonen beim Bergbauprojekt Guanacevi in Durango (Mexiko) durch Bohrungen 2006 bestimmt

24. Januar 2007 – Die Endeavour Silver Corp. (News/Kurs/Chart/Board) (EDR: TSX und EJD: DBFrankfurt) meldet die erfolgreiche Bestimmung größerer Ausdehnungen der reichen Silbermineralisierungszonen in den Minen Porvenir und Santa Cruz durch die Erkundungsbohrprogramme im Bergbauprojekt Guanacevi in Durango (Mexiko) 2006.

In der Mine Porvenir wurde durch die Bohrungen die bekannte Länge und Tiefe der reichen Gold-Silber-Mineralisierung des Erzgangs Santa Cruz mit 1.300 m Länge und 500 m Tiefe fast verdoppelt, aber auch damit sind Streckenlänge und Tiefe noch nicht endgültig bestimmt.

Die jüngsten Bohrungen ergaben Metallgehalte von 137 Gramm Silber und 0,35 Gramm Gold pro Tonne in einem Horizont von 11,30 m in Bohrung NP 22-6 und 511 Gramm Silber sowie 0,73 Gramm Gold pro Tonne in einem Horizont von 9,65 m in Bohrung NP 23-5. Siehe dazu auch die folgende Tabelle.

und 411,55 1,90 378 1,46 13,1 6,2
Die tatsächlichen Breiten dürften bei 65 bis 95 % der Bohrkernlängen liegen.

Wie die jüngsten Bohrergebnisse der Tabelle und ausgewählte Bohrergebnisse der Mine Porvenir für das Jahr 2006 (siehe unten) zeigen, nimmt in den Abschnitten NP 19 bis NP 23 die Silbermineralisierung des Erzgangs Santa Cruz in nordwestlicher Richtung sowie in der Tiefe zu. In diesem Jahr soll dieses Gebiet der Mine erschlossen werden, sodass es ab 2008 in den Produktionsplan aufgenommen werden kann.

2006 war der beste Schnitt durch die Mineralisierung bei Porvenir die Bohrung NP 21-4 mit 324 Gramm Silber und 0,44 Gramm Gold pro Tonne für einen Horizont von 45,20 Metern!

und 302,40 1,45 405 0,11 12,0 4,8
Die tatsächlichen Breiten dürften bei 65 bis 95 % der Bohrkernlängen liegen.

Eine derart hohe durchgehende Mineralisierung über die gesamte Erzgangbreite dürfte die Vorkommen der Mine Porvenir wesentlich erweitern. Eine aktualisierte Ressourcenschätzung nach der Vorschrift NI 43-101 wird jetzt für das Bergbauprojekt Guanacevi erarbeitet und soll bis Februar 2007 abgeschlossen sein.

In der Mine Santa Cruz erweiterten die Bohrungen die reiche Gold-Silber-Zink-Blei-Mineralisierung unter dem unteren Abbauhorizont 13 auf eine Länge von 300 m und eine Tiefe von 500 m, womit die Gesamttiefe und die Gesamtstreckenlänge noch immer nicht voll bestimmt sind. Die Silbermineralisierung bei Santa Cruz unterscheidet sich von dem Erzgang in Porvenir dadurch, dass sie lokal Basismetalle mit kleineren, verstreuten Zinkblende-, Bleisulfid- und Gelbkupfererzvorkommen enthält und sich in mehrere parallele Erzzonen aufteilt, während es sich bei Porvenir um eine Gesamtstruktur handelt.

Bei den jüngsten Bohrungen wurden in einem Horizont von 1,50 m 340 Gramm Silber und 0,45 Gramm Gold pro Tonne, 2,48 % Zink und 1,46 % Blei sowie für einen Horizont von 3,40 m 242 Gramm Silber und 0,43 Gramm Gold pro Tonne in Bohrung DSC3-4 ermittelt. Siehe dazu folgende Tabelle:

und 143,10 9,15 229 0,39 1,41 0,91
Die tatsächlichen Breiten dürften bei 65 bis 95 % der Bohrkernlängen liegen.

Diese mehrfachen, parallelen, reichen Mineralisierungszonen dürften das Ressourcenpotenzial der Mine Santa Cruz wesentlich erweitern und werden bei der neuen, zurzeit erstellten Ressourcenschätzung, berücksichtigt.

Der beste Schnitt durch die Mineralisierung bei Santa Cruz im Jahr 2006 war die Bohrung DSC2-16 mit acht getrennten Mineralisierungszonen, darunter ein Horizont von 21,50 m mit 673 Gramm Silber und 1,38 Gramm Gold pro Tonne!

Endeavour Chairman und CEO, Bradford Cooke dazu: „Endeavour war mit den Erkundungsbohrprogrammen des Bergbauprojekts Guanacevi im letzten Jahr sehr erfolgreich. Obgleich für mehrere Bohrlöcher der Mineralisierung aus dem letzten Jahr noch keine Analysen vorliegen, rechnen wir in den kommenden drei Wochen mit der Freigabe der aktuellen Bohrergebnisse“.

Endeavour Silver Corp. (EDR: TSX und EJD: DBFrankfurt) ist eine Silberbergbaugesellschaft, die sich auf aggressives Wachstum ihrer Silberproduktion sowie ihrer Vorkommen und Reserven in Mexiko konzentriert. Das Erweiterungsprogramm, das in dem reichen Bergbauprojekt Guanacevi im Bundesstaat Durango läuft, dürfte Endeavour unter die wichtigsten Silberproduzenten katapultieren.
