  • Seid wann seit Ihr massiv in Edelmetallen investiert?

    Ich bin erst seit ungefähr genau einem Jahr physisch investiert und seit Februar/März zuerst mit Minenaktien und nun auch mit Optionsscheinen etc. Ich muss dazu sagen, dass ich wahrscheinlich zu den Jüngeren bis Jüngsten hier zähle und mich auch erst seit letztem Jahr mehr mit wirtschaftlichen Themen beschäftige. Ich habe nur begrenzte Mittel zur Verfügung und bin ca. 30-40% physisch investiert. Für mich dient die physische Anlage vor allem zur Absicherung, falls es denn wirklich "Hart auf Hart" kommen sollte.

    Crowflight Provides Bucko Lake Nickel Project Update</BIG>

    CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (Crowflight, the Company) (TSX Venture Exchange: CML) today provided a project update for the Bucko Lake Nickel Project (Bucko) that is currently under development outside Wabowden, Manitoba.


    Surface Facilities
    Work is progressing steadily on the surface facilities at Bucko, with much of the current activity focused on the processing plant. Most of the processing plant equipment is on-site, with some electrical components due to arrive in the next two months. The jaw and cone crusher are in place with structural steel for the crushing circuit progressing. The conveyors are on-site and the conveyor sections should be installed between now and June. Installation of the fine ore bin is expected to begin shortly. Mechanical installation of the rod and ball mill is close to completion, as is the mechanical installation of the flotation circuit. The concentrate filter is in place, electrical work on the plant's interior has begun and piping is expected to start shortly.


    In addition to work on the processing plant, the area for the Interim Tailings Storage Facility (ITSF) has been cleared and the geotechnical and design work is complete.


    Underground Development
    The new portal for the underground ramp is progressing with completion expected by the end of May.


    Two diamond drills are currently underground undertaking definition and delineation drilling on the 1,000 foot level. It is expected that the geotechnical information and assay results from this drilling should assist in optimizing the geotechnical design and upgrading the mineable reserve. The development underground on the 1,000 foot level has progressed to the point that the larger mining equipment is ready to be transported underground and then assembled to finish the remaining work on that level and the ramps to other levels.


    Paul Keller, Crowflight's VP of Operations and COO, said: "A tremendous amount of progress has been made at Bucko since beginning construction in November 2006. Our staff, contractors and consultants have been working tirelessly to bring Bucko into production in the third quarter of 2008 and we look forward to achieving this goal."


    The operating costs, including on-site and off-site costs, are projected to be $4.32 per pound of nickel produced, using a US$:Cdn$ exchange rate of 1:1. The capital cost for the Bucko Lake Nickel Deposit development is now expected to be Cdn$86 million net of pre-production revenue, assuming a US$:Cdn$ exchange rate of 1:1. This compares to the Feasibility Study estimate of Cdn$66.0 million at an exchange rate of 0.8:1.


    The cost differences are attributable to the following: Cdn$6.7 million due to capital development timing, the addition of the ITSF, the ramp portal and surface connection to the underground internal ramp; Cdn$3.0 million for increased surface infrastructure EPCM (Engineering Procurement and Construction Management); and Cdn$10.5 million for additional processing plant equipment, foreign exchange differences and increased structural steel and concrete foundation costs.


    The inclusion of the ramp portal, the ITSF and additional processing plant equipment, which will enable the processing plant to process up to 1,500 tonnes of ore per day, were not included in the original scope of the Feasibility Study. The ramp connection to surface will open new production areas sooner in the life-of-mine schedule and will provide operational flexibility. The addition of the ITSF is necessary to begin operations in 2008 due to delays in the federal permitting of Bucko Lake as a tailings storage facility (see Press Release dated March 28, 2008).


    Mike Hoffman, Crowflight's President and CEO, said: "One striking advantage of Bucko compared to other mining projects currently being developed throughout the world is that the overall capital costs are moderate in relation to future expected cash flow, especially considering that nickel prices have recently averaged US$12-14 per pound. Many of the cost increases are attributable to scope changes not included in the original Feasibility Study and are designed to add further value to the Bucko Project. These enhancements are necessary to tap into the further potential we believe exists at Bucko. Some of the other cost increases, such as steel and concrete, are consistent with those of other companies currently building mines."


    During 2007, Cdn$35.3 million was spent on Bucko construction, which includes the main electrical installation, hoist and headframe installation, processing plant foundations and steel, shaft de-watering and rehabilitation, rehabilitation of the 1000 Level exploration drift, purchasing new and used equipment, refurbishing used equipment and EPCM to date.

    The current construction schedule estimates that the commissioning of the processing plant will occur in July and August of 2008, with cash flow from concentrate sales beginning shortly thereafter. Full commercial production is expected in early 2009.

    Es wird, es wird... so langsam... ;)
    Endlich zieht die Krähe mal ins Plus! Wollen wir mal hoffen, dass Sie net in Turbulenzen gerät. Scheint ja soweit alles nach Plan zu laufen

  • Silber ! sollte man lieber 1 Unzen oder Barren kaufen

    Zitat von zoppo

    Was für ein Unsinn.
    Münzbarren haben ebenfalls nur 7% Märchensteuer. Z.B. 30 Aus$ Kookaburra, Koala, oder Lunar, 460,33 gerade (Cook Island is sogar billiger)
    Kaufst Du Bullionmünzen 32 OZ Feinsilber (Fast ein Kilo, 1 OZ = 31,1gr = 995,2 gr) Maple Leaf, Jahrgang 2008 für 14,60 ?/Stück, so sind das 467,20 ?/Kg



    Wieso Unsinn? Ich gehe mal aufgrund der Fragestellung davon aus, dass der Autor dieses Threads nicht sehr viel Ahnung hat und unter Barren die handelsüblichen Heraeus-Barren meint.
