    Grundsätzlich sind es ja nur meine Überlegungen ... jeder ist und bleibt seines Glückes Schmied!


    Besondere Situation derzeit? Ohne Frage ... und die will ich ausnutzen. Es gibt alle paar Jahre immer so all-in-Situationen, meine letzte war 2008. Wenn ich so auf die noch vorhandene Onvista-Watchlist schaue, dann gab es darauf jede Menge Vervielfacher (32) ... und damals hatte ich mich aus Sicherheitsgründen vor allem auf den HUI konzentriert, daneben die Rohstoffgiganten Rio Tinto & Co. sowie einige Spezialsituationen wie z.B. Mechel. Das beste Pferd Silver Wheaton kam schon nahe an den Tenbagger heran.


    Dass Kleine gern billig geschluckt werden, ist mir bewusst. Aber sicher fahre ich damit immer noch besser als mit einer Barrick Gold.


    Ich gebe Dir recht, die Filterung der aussichtsreichen Explorer ist ein mühsames und gefährliches Geschäft. Wichtig ist u.a., dass ich dabei politisch, geografisch streue, das Management auf bisherige Taten beäuge und keine Position übergewichtig werden lasse. Ich prüfe laufend, ob die Voraussetzungen für ein Weiterlaufen der Hausse intakt sind und habe mir bereits ein Exit-Instrumentarium zurecht gelegt. Irgendwann ist jede Hausse zu Ende und spätestens dann verabschiede ich die Explorer.


    Und wo kämen wir hin, wenn es kein Risiko gäbe :D Wär ja langweilig.


    Viel Erfolg allen Investierten wünscht

    La Parrilla Expansion to 1,600 tonnes per day
    =======================================================================


    First Majestic Silver Corp. is pleased to announce the expansion of its
    100% owned La Parrilla Silver Mine, located in Durango, Mexico has
    commenced. The extremely successful completion of the expansion of the
    Company's La Encantada Silver Mine has allowed management to focus its
    efforts on the Company's next major expansion project with ground
    breaking that started on December 1st, 2010.


    During the past three years the La Parrilla mine has undergone
    extensive development to prepare the mine for higher production levels.
    During the past six months this expansion plan has been assessed and
    defined to optimize the La Parrilla operation into the future. Once
    this construction project is completed, the La Parrilla mine will be
    operating at twice current levels. This expansion will result in the
    mill capacity reaching 1,600 tpd from the current 850 tpd and will
    effectively double the current output of the La Parrilla operation from
    approximately 1.5 million ounces to 3.0 million ounces of silver
    equivalent annually.


    The following activities have been achieved to date:


    - Engineering and design work has been completed for the expansion of
    the processing plant including a new and larger crushing area, the
    addition of a third ball mill and the increase of capacity of both the
    flotation and cyanidation circuits. Each circuit's capacity is
    currently 425 tpd and once the expansion is completed, each circuit
    will continue to run in parallel but at the higher rate of 800 tpd for
    a total capacity of 1,600 tpd.


    - Engineering plans for the Rosarios/La Rosa, San Marcos, Quebradillas
    and Vacas mines have been defined and scheduled, including the planning
    of development and preparation of required production areas, planning
    and scheduling the construction of a new production shaft for the
    Rosarios mine, and all other required mine infrastructure to achieve
    the expanded production levels.


    - All final documentation required for the Environmental Impact
    Statement and the 'Change of use of Land' have been submitted to the
    SEMARNAT (the government environmental authorities) office in Durango,
    with final approvals expected prior to year end.


    Timelines for the Construction Project:


    - Land clearing and preparation activities commenced on December 1st,
    2010


    - Construction of the new crushing area will begin in January 2011. A
    new third ball mill has already been purchased and is on site and is
    expected to be ready for installation by June 2011.


    - The expansion of the flotation circuit is planned for completion by
    the end of July 2011. This new circuit will produce both a lead and
    zinc concentrate. A full year of production at 800 tpd is expected to
    produce 5,673,096 pounds of lead and 5,236,704 pounds of zinc. In
    flotation, the silver will report to the lead concentrate which is
    expected to contain 1,429,991 ounces of silver annually.


    - The expansion of the cyanidation circuit will follow in the second
    half of 2011 with the replacement and expansion of eight leach tanks
    and the construction of four additional leach tanks. Several new
    technologies will also be utilized; similar to those adopted in the
    Company's recently completed La Encantada operation. These items will
    include; new clarification filters, new induction furnaces and new
    filter presses for the tailings in order to recover and re-use solution
    and to save on water consumption. In addition, the plan includes new
    systems for automation of feeding processes for chemicals and reagents.


    - Inauguration of this newly expanded cyanidation circuit is expected
    to take place early in the first quarter of 2012. Once completed, this
    larger 800 tpd cyanidation circuit will produce an additional 899,792
    ounces of silver in the form of silver Dor� bars annually.


    The total capital budget for this expansion is US$27.3 million,
    consisting of: US$17.5 million for plant equipment and construction
    costs; US$2.8 million for additions to the underground fleet; US$8.1
    million for underground mine development and US$4.0 million for
    infrastructure including a new power line and substation. All required
    capital for this expansion project will be funded internally from cash
    flows.


    The internal rate of return (IRR) on this investment is expected to be
    126% considering a price of silver of US$20.00 per ounce and lead and
    zinc prices of US$1.00 per pound.


    Once in full operation at the newly expanded rate of 1,600 tpd, the La
    Parrilla Silver Mine will produce 3.0 million silver equivalent ounces
    annually consisting of 2.3 million ounces silver and 0.7 million ounces
    of silver equivalents in the form of lead and zinc. The expected Total
    Cash Costs are anticipated to be US$5.50 per ounce of silver.


    First Majestic is a producing silver company focused in Mexico and is
    aggressively pursuing its business plan to become a senior silver
    producer through the development of its existing assets and the pursuit
    through acquisition of additional assets that contribute to achieving
    its corporate growth objectives.

    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Dec. 6, 2010) - US GOLD CORPORATION (NYSE Amex:UXG)(TSX:UXG) is pleased to announce that recent drilling in Nevada has returned encouraging assay results from its Limo and Gold Bar Projects. At Limo, two new mineralized areas have been discovered: 1) a high-grade silver/gold vein, and 2) a potential bulk tonnage target. The best results from these two areas returned: 852 gpt silver, 1.77 gpt gold over 6.4 meters and 1.48 gpt gold over 48.8 meters, respectively. Drilling at Gold Bar continued to focus on expanding the gold mineralization beyond the current resource, returning 1.77 gpt gold over 38.1 meters.


    1) LIMO PROJECT


    Two New Areas Return Early Encouragement


    Limo, located 75 miles (120 km) east of Gold Bar, is a large 44 sq. mile (114 sq. km) property that produced 91,000 ounces of gold between 1989 and 1990. In July 2009, US Gold released an initial resource estimate for the project, outlining 241,000 ounces of gold within the Measured and Indicated categories and 50,700 ounces of gold in the Inferred(i). US Gold's recent drilling focused on two new areas separate from the mineralization that make up the resource. The first area is called Continental, where a high-grade silver/gold vein has been discovered. The second area is called Cadillac, where drilling has intercepted a target with bulk-tonnage potential.


    Continental - New High Grade Silver/Gold Vein


    852 gpt silver, 1.77 gpt gold over 6.4 meters


    The Continental vein was discovered by surface rock-chip sampling. Results were encouraging, encountering high grades of silver, gold, and base metals. A follow-up core drilling program was designed to test the highly mineralized section of the vein near surface and at depth. Four holes successfully encountered high-grade mineralization at 10-15 meters down hole, along a strike of 20 meters. This zone appears open to the southwest, and follow-up drilling is currently being planned. The objective of further exploration is to find longer and wider sections of mineralization at depth. Highlights from the drilling are shown below:


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (opt = Troy ounces per short ton, gpt = Grams per metric tonne. True widths
    of the intercepts are unknown).



    The Continental Vein is composed mainly of calcite, dolomite and barite. Within the vein are pods of silicified gossan mineralized with gold, silver, lead and zinc. The strongest mineralization appears to follow a near-surface favorable host lithology within the Guilmette limestone, and may extend beyond the limits of the vein itself.


    Cadillac - Potential Bulk Tonnage Target


    1.48 gpt gold over 48.8 meters


    At Cadillac a total of four widely spaced holes (75 meters apart) were drilled in order to identify what US Gold's geologists believe is a potential bulk tonnage gold target buried by up to 100 m of gravel cover. The initial objective of the drilling was to deepen a historical hole that had reportedly ended in mineralization. Although gold was encountered in this hole the most encouraging result was located 75 meters away, returning 1.48 gpt gold over 48.8 meters. There has been very limited drilling around this hole, and more is scheduled to be completed before year-end. Highlights from three of the four holes drilled are shown below:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (opt = Troy ounces per short ton, gpt = Grams per metric tonne. True widths
    of the intercepts are unknown).



    2) GOLD BAR PROJECT


    Recent expansion drilling at Gold Bar, where US Gold is currently completing a pre-feasibility study, focused mainly on two areas: Cabin Creek, and North Gold Ridge. The Cabin Creek and North Gold Ridge areas are part of the Gold Bar resource estimate.


    North Gold Ridge - Expansion Drilling


    1.77 gpt gold over 38.1 meters


    During the second half of this year drilling has been focused on expanding the North Ridge mineralization to the southeast and northwest. New drilling continues to show that the mineralization is expanding beyond the limits of the current resource. The best result from the recently completed holes returned 1.77 gpt gold over 38.1 meters. Drilling to follow up on these results will occur once additional permits are approved, which is expected by next spring. Highlights of drilling are as follows:

    Cabin Creek - Expansion Drilling


    On September 13, 2010 US Gold announced that drilling had encountered a new deeper zone at Cabin Creek that returned a good hole of 1.14 gpt gold over 73.2 m. With drilling to expand the mineralization shown below, a zone measures 100 m x 100 m and up to 80 m thick has now been defined. Highlights of drilling are as follows:

    @ Edel - ist Sie hier nun etwas heiß gelaufen ?? -- m. E. nach ist auf Basis des aktuellen Silberpreises und des Gesamtmarktes eine Verdoppelung bis Mitte nächsten Jahres drin !!


    Vermutlich ist die beste Methode, den Einsatz rauszuziehen und den Rest als Freiwild weiterlaufen zu lassen. Mit dem Einsatz dann erneut auf die Suche nach anderen Gelegenheiten gehen ... ich mach's jedenfalls so.


    Gefühlsmäßiger Eindruck derzeit: Sollten sich die Edelmetallpreise weiter gen Norden bewegen, dann lohnen sich wohl auch die frühen Explorer. Erinnert mich so ein wenig an die Zeit des Neuen Marktes ... am Ende hat es niemanden interessiert, ob die ganzen Internetbuden Ihre Versprechen halten werden ... alles wurde rücksichtslos gekauft, Hauptsache, es stand "Internet" im Businessplan.
    Das könnte ich mir durchaus auch zukünftig bei den Minen vorstellen ... Hauptsache, es steht Gold oder Silber im Firmennamen.


    Eine stützende Beobachtung zur obigen These: Wenn ich so über meine Depotwerte schaue, dann laufen die Majors am langsamsten, die Minors besser und die Explorer/Developer am besten. Also schichte ich schrittweise von groß nach klein um und habe dabei u.a. immer ein Augenmerk auf die Marktkapitalisierung.
    Tenbagger von 30 auf 300 Mio. gibt's viele und wird es wohl noch mehr geben. Minen, deren Marktkapitalisierung bereits oberhalb einer Mrd. liegt, werden es diesbezüglich schwerer haben.

    Medusa hat heute die Ergebnisse von 34 neuen Bohrlöchern im Saugon Project südlich Ihrer Co-O-Mine bekanntgegeben. Sind ein paar ordentliche Gehalte bei und stützen Medusas Meinung, dass außerhalb der produzierenden Mine noch etliches mehr zu holen ist. Ausführliches hier: http://www.medusamining.com.au


    Wenn ich mir den heutigen Kurs anschaue, scheint die Anlegerschaft wohl mehr erwartet zu haben. Ich selbst finde, dass sich etliche Minen dieser Welt diese Grades wünschen würden ...


    mfG Fab

    Schon vor einiger Zeit hatte ich mir einen recht interessanten Explorer ins Depot gelegt ... Eleckra Mines aus Australien.
    Das Unternehmen benennt sich derzeit um in Gold Road Resources, um seinem Tun mehr Ausdruck zu verleihen. (Interessanterweise findet der Optionshandel des Unternehmens dann unter dem Kürzel GORO statt ... :rolleyes: )


    Die Gesellschaft besitzt das umfangreiche Yarmana-Gold-Projekt und ein weiteres Uran-Projekt. Die Bohrungen der letzten Monate förderten immer neue Adern zu Tage, so dass die schon mehrfach angekündigte neue Ressourcenschätzung immer wieder verschoben wurde. Anfang 2011 soll es nun soweit sein. (Die alte Schätzung stammt noch aus 2008, seitdem hat Eleckra sehr viel gebohrt, in 2011 soll das Bohrprogramm nochmals verdoppelt werden.)


    Derzeit verdaut die Aktie den vorherigen Anstieg, nachdem einige kleine Research-Buden und unser lieber Herr Zihlmann auf den Wert aufmerksam wurden. Eleckra war auch auf der Edelmetallmesse vertreten.


    Ausführliche Infos findet ihr unter:


    http://www.eleckramines.com.au/

    Ist hier jemand von Euch investiert? Meinungen sind wie immer sehr erwünscht.

    schönes Plus heute von fast 16%. Auch hier ohne News.
    Es fällt auf, dass heute etliche Minen ihr Konsolidierungsmuster nach oben hin aufgelöst haben und btrends neuester Zyklusprognose wohl folgen wollen. 8)
    btrend befindet sich im Übrigen auf einer Linie mit einem Zyklenbeitrag aus dem Messemagazin der Edelmetall- und Rohstoffmesse. Bin jetzt nur zu faul nachzuschlagen, habe aber noch im Hinterkopf, dass dort die Zeit um den 6.12. als Zyklushoch prognostiziert wurde.


    Wir werden sehen.

    Press Release Source: Minera Andes Inc. On Monday November 22, 2010, 8:17 am


    TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - 11/22/10) - Minera Andes Inc. (TSX:MAI - News)(OTC.BB:MNEAF - News) is pleased to announce the results of an updated independent mineral resource estimate as at September 30, 2010 at the San Jose mine in Santa Cruz province, southern Argentina. The contained silver in the Inferred Mineral Resources increased by 133% and the contained gold increased by 122% compared to the December 31, 2009 estimate as reported by the Corporation in its March 31, 2010 Annual Information Form. The increase is primarily due to the discovery of nine new veins as well as important extensions of previously known veins, as reported by the Corporation on October 7, 2010. An updated resource/reserve technical report on the San Jose mine will be filed on SEDAR in the near future.


    The San Jose mine is operated by Minera Santa Cruz SA, a joint venture owned 51% by Hochschild Mining Argentina, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hochschild Mining plc, and 49% by Minera Andes S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.


    Rob McEwen, Chairman and CEO of Minera Andes, said:


    "The big increase in the inferred silver and gold resources is terrific! It is the direct result of skilled geologists having a significantly higher exploration budget for a most prospective property. Our exploration goal is to meet and exceed the exploration success of Andean Resources' neigbouring Cerro Negro property."


    Mineral Resources


    At September 30, 2010, total Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at the San Jose Mine were 651,000 ounces of gold and 44.2 million ounces of silver, contained in 3.0 million tonnes grading 6.81 grams/tonne (g/t) gold and 462 g/t silver, or 83.3 million ounces of silver equivalent. An additional 712,000 ounces of gold and 46.4 million ounces of silver, contained in 4.6 million tonnes, grading 4.87 g/t gold and 317 g/t silver, or 89.2 million ounces of silver equivalent, are classified as Inferred Resources. The mineral resources remain open along strike and at depth in some areas.

    mineral reserves. Items may not total due to rounding. The cut-off for the
    resource estimate was 148 g/t AgEq (Minera Andes uses an equivalency factor
    of 1 gram Au is equivalent to 60 grams AgEq).


    The September 30, 2010 resource estimate is an interim updated estimate, and a comprehensive updated resource and reserve estimate will be prepared for the year ending December 31, 2010 and released near the end of the first quarter of 2011. Details of the September 30, 2010 resources by vein are provided in Exhibit 1.


    The September 30, 2010 resource estimate is net of 2010 mine production through September 2010, which was 323,398 tonnes at 6.68 g/t gold and 416 g/t silver. The new resources are a direct result of an increased emphasis on exploration at San Jose. Through the end of the third quarter of 2010, $5 million had been spent on exploration, and exploration for the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately $1.5 million.

Ich erinnere mich dunkel an eine Grafik auf der Edelmetallmesse in München (in welchem Vortrag ist mir entfallen), auf der die Balance zwischen Insiderkäufen und -verkäufen im (EM? )-Sektor dargestellt waren. Nach monatelangem Überwiegen der Insiderkäufe lag die aktuelle Chartmarke bereits an der Nulllinie.
    Sollten wir vielleicht im Hinterkopf behalten ...

    Nicht unwesentlich dürfte allerdings sein, wie die angestrengte Schadenersatzklage gegen Asturien über 300. Mio. ausgeht, wovon Astur die Hälfte zustehen würde. Hoffentlich wird das keine Hängepartie bis zum St. Nimmerleinstag, da Astur Gold derzeit ja nur die Genehmigung für den Untertage-Abbau besitzt, aber wegen der oberflächennahen Goldgehalte gern auch Tagebau betreiben würde.


    Vermutlich würde sich Mr. Roosen von Osisko nicht so bei Astur engagieren, wenn es keine guten Erfolgsaussichten gäbe ...


    P.S. Falls sich in Spanien mal griechische oder irische Verhältnisse entwickeln, stehen dann die Spanier mit Schaufel und Spitzhacke am Grubenrand von Astur? :D


    schönes WE

    Es kann ja durchaus sein, dass wir hier alle falsch liegen und das Silber nicht mehr wesentlich steigt ... dann hätte US Silver recht.
    Ich befürchte allerdings, dass das Hedging sich im Nachhinein nicht als kluger Schachzug herausstellen wird.
