    Mir geht´s da wie dir, ich versteh es auch nicht.
    Nur hätte es für SLW keinen Sinn gemacht, die zu kaufen, weil sie ja dank Geschäftsmodell nichts damit tun können.
    So haben sie wen zum Buddeln.
    Außerdem habwen die ihre bisherigen beteiligungen (Bear Creek, Revett??, Sabina) jeweils mit einer Ankaufsmodalität für silber versehen.
    Das ist der eigentlich Grund, warum mich das stutzig macht.
    Heisst ja indirekt, dass die wissen, da ist was da und das kommt in den nächsten 3 Jahren.
    Bei Sterling hätt das mehr Sinn gehabt,. wenn du mich fragst... :D


    Aber was nicht ist........

    Silver Wheaton beteiligt sich bei Strategic Nevada (SNS)


    Sehr günstiger preis.
    Die scheinen mehr zu wissen über die crescent.
    Überrascht mich, und ich revidiere vorher gesagtes.


    Gutso, jetzt bist du dran! :D

    PS: Jedenfalls haben die von SNS das geschickt gemacht.
    650000 bezahlt für Crescent und schon um einiges mehr eingenommen bei dem PP.
    Wenn da SLW nicht wär, würd i sagn: geh leckt´s mi.....

    Hallo Auratico,
    es dürfte ein und derselbe sein.
    In einer Mail hat er mal geschrieben, dass er noch ein kind war, als seine Eltern aus Ungarn auswanderten.
    savethesunshine: war eine Dissidentengruppe von ivestoren, die bei SRLM ein bisserl gezündelt haben und de Motte attackiert haben.
    Die haben zwar "verloren", aber seither entwickelt sich SRLM um einiges besser, wie ich meine... :D


    Der Mann hat zweifelsohne allererste Qualität und silveraxis auch.
    Was agst zur USA.V?
    Je mehr ich die Hecla anaschau, desto besser gefällt mir die.
    Sie verkaufen aucvh ziemlich viel gold.

    Hey eldo,
    mach mi nicht älter als ich bin, ich schau vielleicht so aus..... :D
    Also 60 muss i zuerst einmal werden in einigen Jahren.


    Ich find auch, dass das eine schön lehrreiche sach ist und man braucht sich nicht mehr drum kümmern.
    Aber die Strukturen der einzelnen Depots sind auch interessant.
    Außerdem bin ich mir jetzt schon sicher, dass dieses 10er Depot (wobei ich alle tatsächlich halte) mein Depot ausperformt.
    Weil handsamer und schmaler.


    Die von grandich kenn ich kaum bis gar nicht.
    Gratuliere zu SNS: war ein super verdoppler bei dir in einigen Tagen. Die wird aber auch wieder fallen wie ein Stein. (siehe silver valley)


    FCO.TO scheint in die Gänge zu kommen.

    Gammon Lake Resources Reports High Grade Discoveries in New Areas of the Ocampo Underground Mine


    is pleased to announce new exploration results from sill sampling in the Ocampo Underground Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. Sill sampling in new areas of exploration in the Mine have resulted in the new discovery of high grade gold-silver zones on multiple levels of the underground mine. Samples were collected over a combined total of 767-metres, resulting in average grades of 11.55 grams per tonne gold equivalent (5.47 grams per tonne gold and 304 grams per tonne silver) over average widths of 2.33-metres. The Balvanera structure is open to depth and the remaining structures are open in all directions. Sill samples were taken along each vein every 2.5-metres. For example, approximately 24 samples were collected for every 60-metres of drifting. The results from sampling are summarized in the following table:

    Hochinteressant auch Tom Szabo http://www.silveraxis.com/ zu einigen stocks:


    In the arena of silver stocks, a few that we have covered recently are making attention-grabbing gains in the past few days.



    First up is Strategic Nevada Resources, which acquired the Crescent Mine in the Silver Valley of Idaho for $650,000 cash by being apparently the only bidder at a tax auction last December. Out of virtually nowhere, Strategic has gone from being a partner with Redstar Gold in exploring for gold in Nevada to being an aggressive silver exploration company. How aggressive? Well, starting on December 12 when the auction was held, Strategic has since conducted due diligence on the project, hired a mine geologist, conducted brokered and non-brokered private placements for up to C$8.25 million, added two directors to the board with solid credentials, established an exploration strategy and began rehabilitating surface facilities at the Crescent Mine. Not only that, each of these accomplishments have been beamed to the world through numerous advertising and promotional partnerships including the likes of Stockhouse, 321gold, Kitco, Jason Hommel and others.


    The net result is that a $650,000 purchase which nobody else seems to have wanted to even look at a few weeks ago has been adroitly parlayed into a capability to raise 10 times that amount in private placement funds. Along the way, the groundwork has been laid to begin aggressive exploration. By way of comparison, Strategic and next-door neighbor Sterling will have roughly the same number of shares outstanding after the private placement. Sterling closed at US$3.08 last Friday while Strategic closed today at C$1.18, or about one-third of Sterling. Now please don't get me wrong, I believe both these companies have incredible challenges to overcome which simply do not fit inside any risk-reward investment model that I've been able to come up with. Yet if I had to speculate by choosing between Sterling, which is threatening to open the Sunshine within possibly a year or two and which has most of the infrastructure already in place, and Strategic, which has little more than a few outbuildings, a hole in the ground and some prospective ground, it should be obvious which is a better speculative value. In a rational world and all things being equal, the value ratio between these to companies measured in terms of potential should be on the order of 20:1. Does this make Strategic too expensive or Sterling too cheap? I don't know, I am simply pointing out this discrepancy since only the market can answer that question.
    Next up is Mines Management, which seems to have climbed out of the gutter after trading down to $4.50 last week. I hope some of you took the opportunity to pick up a few shares at those levels. I don't know if MGN is done digging but I do know that $4.50 will be cheap in the long term even if copper and silver prices moderate substantially. How do I know this? Well, first off, the stock traded above $6.00 in late 2003 at the beginning of the bull market in silver and copper when these metals were still under $6 per ounce and $1.50 per pound respectively. And the share count wasn't much lower than today since MGN has one of the tightest share structures among silver stocks (thanks to management who at times has been too patient to get moving aggressively which has consequently meant investors losing their own patience). We can expect Mines Management to continue making slow progress with the greatest prospect for a rising share price coming from investment advisors and newsletter writers discovering the long-term potential of this company. Silver Wheaton started this off by taking a stake in Revett Minerals a couple of months back. I believe it is only a matter of time before Mines Management appears on a few radars. But even if not, this is one company which has a strong potential for appreciation even if silver enters a bear market and drops in price toward $6 an ounce.


    Three other silver stocks on the move today are Silver Dragon, U.S. Silver and Excellon, all of which I have discussed recently. In the case of Excellon, I would like to add a little to last week's discussion. Here is a portion of what I e-mailed to an inquiring reader earlier today:


    "The one thing that perhaps isn't very clear about this is that Excellon is probably looking for a possible open pit or at least bulk mine deposit where they can put out a huge resource number along the lines of Gammon Lake, Western Silver, Palmarejo, etc. However, those are silver-gold deposits and this one so far looks like silver-zinc-lead. Then again, if we look at Oremex that property is also primarily high grade silver-zinc-lead yet they managed to find an almost pure silver mineralization of 50+million ounces in a disseminated ore body. All in all, assuming that investors may not be aware of what exactly Excellon is trying to accomplish (not telling it's story as you say), those who know where to look have an opportunity to get in ahead of the pack if and when the right drill results come out."


    Next, a quick point about Silver Dragon, which has turned a potentially losing hand as Chinese partner to the defrocked Sino Silver into a possible full house. It turns out there IS silver in the ground in China and the best way to explore for and mine it is to align your interests by partnering with the Chinese quasi-governmental entities. Still, I have many unanswered questions about Silver Dragon and their Chinese properties which preclude me from clearly defining an investment opportunity. I even wrote a tongue-in-cheek "expose" of some of the mysteries still swirling around this situation titled Pssst! PSSST! 40,000% Gains Over Here! Yet this should in no way imply that there is not a fabulous amount of silver here as many Silver Dragon shareholders clearly believe.


    Lastly, U.S. Silver has, according to a David Bond article titled Dependent Independence, acquired during December on the open market a 5% stake in Independence Lead Mines (Pink Sheets symbol ILDM) which owns the Gold Hunter vein structure, the primary source of Hecla's current mining activity at the Lucky Friday mine in Idaho's Silver Valley. The Gold Hunter vein is subject to royalties due to Independence Lead which have yet to kick in but Independence also owns prospective ground immediately next door which is not subject to royalty. I have yet to get my arms around the new corporate structure of the Canadian U.S. Silver but will try to report on it shortly. In the meantime, suffice it to say that U.S. Silver appears to be serious in extending its activities in the silver-rich mountains of Northern Idaho. Along these lines, I'm not sure what it means that U.S. Silver did not place a bid in the auction for the Crescent Mine. As for Independence Lead itself, one could probably get a pretty good picture of its focus and management style by reading Mr. Bond's article referenced above. I sure hope U.S. Silver is able to help out in this department because ILDM shareholders stand to gain directly as a result.

    Hallo auratico,
    Tom Szabo bringt es auf den Punkt.
    SNS ist einer der gepushtesten Werte in USA.
    Gut, dass du dabei bist. Schon mal auf das Trittbrett stellen :D


    Weisst du, ob das der Tom Szabo ist, der auch bei savethesunshine voriges jahr dabei war?
    Der hieß jedenfalls genauso und die Art , wie er mails schrieb und sein Sachverstand hatten mich damals beeindruckt.


    Nebenbei scheint SNS die Sterling auch etwas zu ziehen und für mich ist es sonnenklar dass SRLM in verhältnis zur SNS krass unterbewertet ist.

    http://www.silveraxis.com/

    Hab ja drüber geschrieben ca Mitte bis Ende Oktober, als sie die drill rigs abzogen in die peripherie.
    Und natürlich dreimal kleine Häppchen nachgekauft auf Verdacht. :D

    "Okay, this is not "sugaraxis" so let's get back to silver. I would like to pass along a few words about Excellon -- a company which I rarely discuss but is deserving of more attention -- from a reader who views it as a possible Mexican version of the Chinese Silvercorp as well as an attractive companion or alternative -- depending on your investment goals -- to Don Hansen's "value strategy".


    But first, my take on this company. Excellon is hunting for silver elephants in elephant country and while it has not found a pachyderm, it is paying for exploration out of developmental paydirt in a similar fashion, as my reader points out, to the cash-flow positive development of the Ying deposit by Silvercorp. I think Excellon could turn out to be a fantastic story but highly disciplined investors who wish to take a large position in Excellon (say, over 5% of a silver stock portfolio) should be in a good position to be able to assess several important issues:


    (1) Will early confirmation of a major discovery prevent opportunities to acquire Excellon at near current prices? Part of the answer may lie with the company's current market valuation and what it may say about shareholder expectations. Being able to make this assessment could point out the most effective time to take a position in a junior exploration company: before a possible discovery (in which case there is greater risk that no discovery will be made), right after a discovery (in which case there is still the risk that a discovery is not as large as anticipated, enhanced by the possibility that excited shareholders have overbid the share price) or after the size of the discovery is established (in which case the risk is that most of the gains have already been made).


    (2) Although Excellon has a larger-than-normal number of shares outstanding, it has been able to avoid dilution recently due to its cash-flow positive test mining. What are the future prospects for avoiding further dilution? To answer this, it may be relevant to examine the so-called "silver debentures" and how they will be paid off.


    Now, let's take a look at one perspective of Excellon courtesy a reader of silveraxis:


    I don't look at Excellon as a pure exploration play. In 2006/07 they will produce about 3 million ounces of silver, the same amount that Endeavour Silver will produce.


    They are expanding their resource base just like any underground producer would do. Underground deposit delineation is not like finding an open pit deposit and estimating its size. So, I put Excellon in the same category as Great Panther, Endeavour, Aurcana, and all the other mid/small Mexican producers.


    Don Hansen is doing a great job showing the potential of the Endeavour Silver business model based on acquisition and reopening of old mines, and this model is now followed by others (Great Panther, First Majestic, ...)


    Excellon's model is different, they are producing but they are explorers first and foremost. They can develop and expand the resource they have already found and the production they already have so they can grow just as the other Mexican producers can grow. But they have huge upside potential from exploration and this is something they don't share with the other Mexican producers I know of.
    How to guesstimate is this potential? You must figure out your way, but I've listened to a couple of presentations from Dr. Megaw and as I understand they know there is a deposit out there but cannot tell where it is and how large it is. Time and work will tell.


    In the meantime I see value at current P/E, P/CF ratios and the market cap is comparable with Endeavour or Great Panther.


    You know, the parallel with Silvercorp really strikes me because Silvercorp is earning money from the exploration work they're doing because of the extremely high grades they have and Excellon is the closest company to Silvercorp I can find. Because of those high grades, the market is blessing Silvercorp with a market cap roughly equal to the whole in situ value as of today's 43-101 resources. And they have not found all the silver yet and, I would say, they never will because it's a large vein system.

    Excellon's target, on the contrary, is a disseminated deposit so, if/when they'll find it, they'll be able to publish a global resource.


    Here is the link to a recent presentation:
    Mining, Metals, Oil & Gas Congress Dubai 2006

    The reader would like to point out that he is a shareholder of Excellon and has no wish to promote the company. This is obvious in context of our e-mail communications and I would like to thank him for sharing a different, useful perspective."

    Aus Investor Alert:
    Chavez stürzt den Kapitalmarkt in Venezuela in eine tiefe Krise

    Viele Anleger haben die Schwellenländer als Investitionsziel in den vergangenen Jahren für sich entdeckt. Konnten viele Investoren in jüngster Zeit Traumrenditen mit Aktien aus Schwellenländern erzielen, so zeigen die Ereignisse in Venezuela, dass ein solches Investment aufgrund der politischen Unsicherheiten in vielen Schwellenländern auch mit weit überdurchschnittlichen Risiken verbunden ist.


    Am vergangenen Montag zeigte Venezuelas Staatspräsident Hugo Chavez eindeutig, dass sich Venezuela weiter auf einem sozialistischen Kurs befindet. Ein wichtiger Schritt auf diesem Kurs ist die Bekanntgabe der Nationalisierung von einheimischen Elektrizitäts- und Telekommunikationsunternehmen, so wie die Beschneidung der Unabhängigkeit der Zentralbank.


    An den internationalen Börsen wurde panisch auf die jüngsten Ereignisse aus Venezuela reagiert. So verlor der einheimische Aktienmarkt auf diese Meldungen hin etwa ein fünftel an Wert. Besonders schwer traf es hierbei das Indexschwergewicht CANTV, so wie Electricidad de Caracas, welche in einer ersten Reaktion um 30 Prozent bzw. 20 Prozent an Wert verloren.


    Ein ähnliches Erdbeben wurde auch auf dem Devisenmarkt ausgelöst. Ist der Wechselkurs des einheimischen Bolivars offiziell bei 2.l50 Bolivars je US$ fixiert, so wurde inoffiziell ein Wechselkurs von 4.100 Bolivars je US$ verzeichnet. Unter Abgabendruck standen auch Venezuelanische Staatsanleihen, welche massiv von ausländischen Investoren verkauft wurden.


    Die Ereignisse der letzten Woche dokumentieren deutlich, dass ein Investment in Schwellenländer trotz der teilweise sehr hohen Wachstumsraten mit erheblichen Risiken verbunden sein kann. So schwappte die Welle der Verunsicherung von Venezuela auf die Märkte vieler lateinamerikanischer Länder über. Insgesamt befürchten Anleger, dass der sozialistische Kurs von Chavez weitere Länder in dieser Region beeinflussen könnte. Die Auswirkungen des Erdbebens am Kapitalmarkt von Caracas waren sogar in Mexiko zu spüren. Hier musste der nationale Leitindex IPC auf diese Meldungen hin rund 2 Prozent abgeben. Ein ähnliches Beispiel für die politischen Unsicherheiten ist der südostasiatische Staat Thailand. Hier führte die Politik der neuen Machthaber, so wie neue Terrorschläge, zu deutlichen Kursverlusten am thailändischen Aktienmarkt, welche im Vergleich zur Asienkrise aber noch weitgehend harmlos waren. Auch wenn viele Anleger nicht in Venezuela und Thailand investiert sind, so sollte immer bedacht werden, dass die politische Entwicklung vieler Schwellenländer ein nicht zu unterschätzender Risikofaktor für Investments in diese Märkte darstellt.

    Auszug, weil Companies von der Liste auf seite 1 hier betreffend:FCO.TO ist zwar dort nicht drauf, gehörte eigentlich auch drauf wegen refinery,
    oder weil ich sie schon so lang hab. :D



    Farallon Resources (FAN-TSX-V $ .56) The company bit the bullet by what they believe should be the last equity financing before they go into production. There are lots of new shares to digest but I believe that as production grows closer, the market can reflect the transition from exploration to production.


    Formation Capital (FCO-TSE $ .46) – No management team I have ever known has shown more dedication to see things through then FCO. They’ve been at it for ten years or so and never did what 99% of others in the business would do – start a new deal.
    Instead, they stayed the course on seeing their Idaho Cobalt project to fruition. 2007 looks more and more to be the year we get to celebrate in the end zone.


    Soho Resources (SOH-TSX-V $ .50) – Frank Port has informed me that there are 15 holes at the lab. Results of these holes are expected within a week or so. The drill team is back on the property and drilling has either begun already or should very soon. A lack of news has been the main culprit so a steady flow of news in the first few months of 2007
    is just what the doctor ordered.

    @edel,
    ALMI hab ich nur im Contest raus aber nicht in Wirklichkeit.
    Ab 2,7C$ denk ich da mal über Verkauf nach.


    Kodiak hab ich deinetwegen erwähnt wegen der Meldung.
    Die ist zwar von den Daten mäßig aber die Ausweitung, ich glaub auf 900 meter ist das absolut Positive. Heisst auch, dass die wahrscheinlich wirklich ein großes Lager finden auf karibou.


    SLW und Explorer: Da fliegen einem die warrants nicht um die Ohren,
    ein nicht zu verachtender Vorteil. :D
    Mich nervt das auch schon, weil da geht dann mal 6-10 Monate gar nichts.
    Und wenn man blöd = hoch eingestiegen ist, muss man sich den Arsch breitsitzen. Passiert mir immer seltener.


    Zu SLW (guter kauf jetzt, ich hab kein Geld über, sonst hätt ich auch mal zugelangt) muss man auch folgende Meldungen Seiten beachten.
    Betrifft Revett aber auch MGN (montana und Idaho) und indirekt auch SLW.

    @edel,
    das hört sich gut an.
    Premier ist ein sahnestückchen, ich hab ja da bald nach der Abspaltung zugegriffen. Hab da ziemlich gezweifelt, ob das g´scheit war, weil ich ja Wolfden mit Verlust rausgehaut hab und dafür Sabina aufgestockt.
    Inzwischen rechnet sich das.
    Silver Wheaton muss bei mir noch warten, aber die kauf ich sicher noch.
    Zuerst Geld und zwar gleich reichlich und dann einen guten Dip suchen.
    Da gibt´s schon noch Gelegenheit heuer. Die Bewertung wird auch immer besser und das Geschäftsmodell, das ich erst durch die Beteiligungen zu je 19,9% an Bear Creek, Revett und Sabina so ganz zu verstehen glaube. Müssten wir mal schauen, wie das mit Silberkurs 11 sich rechnet. Bei 20 brauchen wir nicht reden.


    Passt zwar nicht hierher, aber Kodiak hat gestern eine gute Meldung rausgelassen. Da dürfte es jetzt wieder aufwärts gehen. Hab die nicht.

    Oremex Resources Moves Towards Production At Its Tejamen Silver Project In Mexico


    Linda Thorstad, chief executive of Canadian listed Oremex Resources was in London for our November Forum and since then her company has become a Minesite subscriber. By that time Christmas was approaching fast so a decision was taken to postpone an introductory piece until the New Year. Her company is certainly worth noting as its most advanced project, Tejamen in Mexico, has a silver equivalent resource of 50.8 million ounces in a total of 22.6 million tonnes, grading a silver-equivalent of 69.8 grams per tonne (2.04 ounces per ton). This initial estimate was based on information generated prior to the most recent diamond drilling program, and does not consider the exploration potential of the Tejamen property, which is open in several directions and at depth.


    A 12,500-metre reverse circulation program is planned to test the lateral and vertical limits of mineralization and to provide in-fill data to transfer the resources to a higher category. In the meantime the well known consulting firm Snowden has carried out a scoping study which concluded that a 10,000 tonne per day open pit mining and heap leach processing mining operation at the Tejamen property can support a profitable operation even if silver prices average US$8 per ounce and provided silver recoveries exceed 65 per cent. As silver is currently trading at around US$12/oz and demand has been boosted by investors buying the new Exchange Traded Funds, the likelihood of the price receding to US$8/oz is not too high. In addition metallurgical testwork to date indicates recoveries for silver in excess of 70 per cent, so the conclusions of the study appear to have a firm base..


    The base case mining scenario developed by Snowden utilizes an optimized pit shell containing 21.7 million tonnes grading 51.9 g/t silver and 0.023 g/t gold. Based on the cost and productivity assumptions provided in the scoping study , Snowden concluded that a 10,000 tonne per day surface mining project and heap leach processing system can generate a profitable operation. In fact even at US$8/oz for silver , and after applying a 7 per cent discount rate, a net present value of US$19.2 million was calculated for the project. It is highly geared to the silver price as this NPV rises to US$97.4 million at the current price and it would be US$155.5 million if the price of silver topped US$15/oz.


    Snowden decided to assume a silver price of US$10/oz for its study, relied on the metallurgical evidence that 70 per cent recovery was possible and estimated an initial capital investment of US$45.2 million, sustaining capital of US$8.6 million (including a contingency of 15 per cent), and life-of-mine average cash operating costs of US$5.72 per tonne (including a contingency of 20 per cent ) in its calculations. As background the study was based on a mine life of approximately seven years, one year of pre-stripping and heap construction, and an average stripping ratio of approximately 2:1. Linda Thorstad is clearly encouraged by this as she feels there is more to come at Tejamen.


    The next most advanced project is the San Lucas silver-gold property where a 19-hole drill program outlined a high grade silver-gold mineralized system with lead and zinc in volcanic rocks over a two-kilometre strike length. Preliminary surface mapping and sampling have traced the zone for an additional two kilometres along strike from the original drilling. Drilling will test extensions of mineralization in 2007 along strike and to depth so more should be heard about this before long.


    In the meantime Oremex has sold its 100 per cent interest in the Mezquital claims to Canasil Resources leaving it with five projects in Mexico. Canasil is paying with a mixture of shares and warrants. The deal means that Oremex retains an indirect interest in the project and Linda Thorstad clearly approves of Canasil as she is quoted as saying that “the sale of the property generates a solid return on investment for Oremex shareholders.” It certainly means the company is better able to concentrate on Tejamen and San Luis and should be able to keep up the pace of drilling as it has bought its own RC drilling rig as rigs and capable operators are in short supply. Could be a busy 2007 for the company.

    Diese Seite bringt viel News con den Companies.

    U.S. Silver Corporation, the formerly private firm headquartered in Wallace, has completed its merger into Chrysalis Capital III Corporation, a publicly traded Canadian company. Shares are trading on the TSX under the new symbol “USA” and the firm expects soon to change its name officially to U.S. Silver Corporation. USA is now about 60 cents Canadian.


    Last summer, the firm bought the Silver Valley properties of Coeur d'Alene Mines. This included one asset that’s now operating: the Galena Mine… and two that aren’t: the Coeur Mine and the 5,000-foot deep Caladay exploration shaft.


    U.S. Silver has said it plans to boost spending on exploration and development, but there’s no official word on expected production levels at the Galena this year. Outfits with property under lease around the Galena include American Silver (PinkSheets:ASLM)… Sterling Mining (OTCBB:SRLM)… and Silver Buckle Mines (PinkSheets:SBUM).


    * * Timberline Resources (OTCBB:TBLC), the Coeur d’Alene exploration and drilling outfit, closed a $2.7 million private placement of stock just before Christmas. About three quarters of the money came from Praetorian Offshore Ltd.-- a Miami firm headed by wunderkind stock picker Harris Kupperman. At the ripe old age of 18, he made news by blowing out most of the competition in a major investing contest held by TheStreet.com.


    Timberline says much of the new cash will be used to buy additional drill rigs for its Kettle Drilling subsidiary, where the equipment could generate new revenues of about $6 million annually. The rest will go toward projects in its Exploration Division and for general use. TBLC moved up to the Bulletin Board last July. Shares were about 75 cents then. Now they’re about $1.45.



    * * The Northwest Mining Association held its annual convention last month and for the first time in 112 years it wasn’t in Spokane. Instead, about 2,000 folks turned out in Sparks, Nevada. The conference will return to its hometown next December.



    * * Strategic Nevada Resources (TSX:SNS) of Vancouver, B.C., last week became new owner of the Crescent Mine. The Crescent -- once part of the storied Bunker Hill complex in the Silver Valley -- was a high-grade silver mine that reportedly produced over 25 million ounces at an average grade above 27 ounces a ton. It sits between the Sunshine Mine (300 million ounces of silver produced) and the Bunker Hill (100 million ounces). After it closed in 1982, the late Valley geologist Don Springer reportedly calculated total proven, probable and projected ore remaining as nearly 400,000 tons at an average grade of 27 ounces of silver per ton.


    Today, the company announced a private placement through a Canadian financial firm. This could bring it nearly CDN$ 6 million to use for rehabilitation and exploration work at the mine and for general needs.


    The firm recently tapped Brian White to be staff geologist; he has substantial Coeur d'Alene Mining District experience. It also added two new Board members: Tom Fudge, long time Hecla mine manager and VP-Operations, and Dr. Ishuing Wu, a Harvard-trained economic geologist with over 30 years of exploration work for many big name miners. SNS is trading at around 83 cents Canadian.

    Silver Eagle Commences Processing of Bulk Sample
    Thursday January 11, 11:26 am ET



    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 11, 2007) - Silver Eagle Mines Inc. ("Silver Eagle") (TSX:SEG - News) is pleased to announce the commencement of the processing of a bulk sample through the mill at its 100% owned Miguel Auza Mine located in Zacatecas, Mexico. The processing of this material will facilitate the testing and optimization of the mill circuit and metal recoveries. The bulk sample processing will result in the Company's initial production of concentrates containing silver, lead, zinc and gold. Mineralized material for this test work will be derived both from existing stockpiles and from ongoing underground development and stoping on three veins. The veins encountered underground contain both oxide and sulphide material and the Company continues to work closely with its metallurgical consultant, Godfrey MacDonald and SGS Lakefield of Peterborough, Ontario to further optimize metal recoveries.

    Separately, Silver Eagle reports the departure of Chief Operating Officer, Michael Neumann, who has resigned his COO position for personal reasons, but remains on the Board of Directors of Silver Eagle. Operations in Mexico will now be the responsibility of Rodolfo Balderrama, who has been hired as General Director of Operations. Mr. Balderrama brings significant experience in the Mexican mining industry, having worked most recently as Project Evaluation Manager for Grupo Mexico's Southern Copper Corporation subsidiary. Mr. Balderrama has worked in increasingly senior capacities for various subsidiaries of Grupo Mexico for the past 15 years and holds a Bachelors degree in Mining and Metallurgy from Universidad Autonoma de Chihuahua.


    In addition, Silver Eagle has hired Mr. Vladimiro Nettel as General Financial Controller, Mexico, for its 100% owned subsidiary San Pedro Resources S.A. de C.V. Mr. Nettel has spent the last 35 years working in senior financial capacities for the Mexican subsidiaries of various mining companies, including a number of Canadian companies.


    Chief Executive Officer, Terry Byberg commented, "With the start up of our mill, Silver Eagle has achieved another significant milestone. We thank Mike Neumann for his contributions in moving the Miguel Auza Project to this point. We are very pleased to gain such a qualified operations executive in Rodolfo Balderrama to take over responsibility for our Mexican operations. The addition of both Rodolfo and Vladimiro greatly bolsters our management strength on the ground in Mexico and I am very pleased to welcome them to the Silver Eagle team. "

    Heute war Stichtag - Record day.


    Jetzt gibt´s die gratis shares im Verhältnis 4:1.(von denen dann noch ein drittel warrants zu 0,35 für IMMC).
    Nur die IMMC müssen zuerst noch an die Börse.
    Also das dauert noch.


    Bin neugierig, wie sich Cabo in nächster Zeit verhält.
    Die nächsten Zahlen werden nicht mehr von den properties belastet.
    In Zukunft wird Cabo dort sogar bohren.
