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:

Noch einige Bemerkungen zum Contest:

527 nehmen teil.
Ziemlich erstaunt war ich am Samstag, wei eng das alles ist.
(Bis Sonntag konnte man ändern und dann wurde alles auf Null gestellt und man kann nichts mehr ändern bis 31.12.07.
Ich war am samstag 60. und hab einen meiner Winner bis dorthin, Almi.OB herausgetan und GOG.V hineingetan. Flugs war ich schon nur noch auf Platz 420.
ALMI blieb gleich, GOG stieg um 11% und die zur Überlegung gestandenen FCO.TO stiegen bisher (also gestern und heute) auch
um 11%.
Nun (21 Uhr) bin ich 31.
Übrigens gibt es da auch ein Jason Hommel Depot (ein Fake?)
Eldo scheint unter eldo auf, ich dachte er wäre "elspitzo".
Den gibt es nämlich auch. Gibt was her, das Depot
Die Depotzusammensetzungen sind sehr interessant.
Es ist fast so wie beim guten kochen.
Ein Essen kann man ja nicht mehr entsalzen........ 
nur so als Beispiel.
DAU war in der probephase fast immer unter den ersten 10, zur Zeit nicht Top 100.
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.
