3 000 miners to march to DRD

Johannesburg - Between 3 000 and 6 000 mineworkers facing lay offs at DRDGold's (DRD) North West operations will march to the company's head office to hand over a memorandum of demands on Friday.
NUM spokesperson Moferefere Lekorotsoana said the memorandum includes demands by the union on the company to pay workers their severance packages.

Workers are also demanding that the company renew work permits for those still waiting for their permits since September last year as well as the immediate implementation of the agreed social plan.

"DRDGold has made it clear that it does not want to run the North West operations anymore. So we are saying it should stop dilly dallying and pay workers their packages," Lekorotsoana said.

He added that the union reiterates its position that the mining licence of DRDGold should be given to an operator who is prepared to run the North West operations.

"DRDGold should sell these operations and stop procrastinating, a serious operator should take over - period.

"Worker's futures are on the line here and this has nothing to do with the union being choosy on who takes over the operations," Lekorotsoana added.

"If it is the liquidators being slow then we are saying that they must move fast and resolve this matter. We can't go on like this because workers are struggling."

Simmer and Jack Mines, Limited on Tuesday submitted an offer to the liquidators of Buffelsfontein Gold Mines Ltd to acquire all the assets belonging to DRDGold's former North West mines which were summarily shut on March 22.

The offer is conditional on a number of issues that Simmers believes can be successfully negotiated with stakeholders to bring the underground operations back to life.

Simmers chief executive, Gordon Miller said: "We have conducted a thorough due-diligence to establish exactly what is required to restart the underground mines successfully.

"The results of our investigation show that turn around will be successful under the correct leadership and commitment from all stakeholders."

The NUM said the march will commence from the Civic Centre (now the Metropolitan head office) in Braamfontein at 11:00 and the memorandum will be handed over to DRDGold management at 13:00 at their offices on Empire Road.

"The workers are expected to leave the mine premises as of tomorrow because they can no longer live in the hostels, because the company has no intention of providing water, electricity and food."

Einsicht ist der erste Weg zur Besserung, allerdings die worte hör ich wohl, allein mir fehlt der Glaube.
Eldo, auch wenn es jetzt ein Schock für Dich ist, ich kann das Board nicht retten auch nicht mit dem Bild, da ich nicht an Selbstüberschätzung leide.

Ich hab extra ein Buntes rausgesucht , weil Du ja offensichtlich auf bunte Pix stehst. Mit Zahlen wollte ich dich nicht überfordern.

Glück auf

Schocken tut mich gar nichts mehr hier,ich kenne mittlerweile die meisten ""Pappenheimer"", egal ob in farbe oder schwarz-weiss.
Deren Zahlen sind leicht zu berechnen,dass kannst Du mir glauben.

RETTE DAS BOARD, ABER VON LEUTEN DIE HIER NUR AERGER MACHEN WOLLEN......

Ein theatralischer Abgang,also bis in zwei Stunden.
Besser editieren als mit Fehlern lassen. Who cares anyway ?...

Bye Bozo 410 , war wohl nix .. :D, komme am besten mit Paukenschlag wieder bei 421 Dollar Goldpreis.
Den Zug verpasst ? , am besten Fahrad mit GB fahren, aber nicht besoffen, sonst fallt man wieder auf die Pappen.

Ubernehmen tue ich gar nichts, ausserdem ist ja fast keiner da.
Bis auf wenige Meinungen und immer wieder ein paar frustrierte Schluempfe von der Silberinfo die um Mitternacht aktiv sind wie gestern.

Es gibt bestimmt bessere Dinge als zu schreiben, Brainfood gibt es auch wo anders. Mac Donalds ist ja zu lasch auf Dauer.

Ob dein bild nun die Rettung ist ? (bei nummer 12 gibt es wieder stoerungen).....
Ich will mich bestimmt nicht nochmal wiederholen.
Gegen Krebs hilft auch kein Rueckzug, es ist leider immer das selbe in diesen thread speziell. Da faengt sogar meine Festplatte an zu brummen wenn ich manche kommentare anklicke. Ich glaube es ist besser ich schone mehr meiner Computer und lasse andere nun rumhacken. Ausserdem soll das Forum nicht kaputt gehen,das wuede die Konkurenz sicherlich freuen.

Alles Gute and good luck to all who hate me !

Bitte rette es wenn du das glaubst !
Wie waere es mit ein paar Bohrproben in Deutsch, als Geologe ?

Next please.......

Le Metropole Members,

Hans Schicht has served commentary at The
Toulouse-Lautrec Table entitled, "Mightier than all
the Nations."

"After only a short interlude, Russia and the USA are
again confronting one another. But with the difference
that this time the stakes are higher than they were during
the cold war. It is not just ideological strife. It is
the basic hunger for energy and raw materials, needed for
plain survival, which lies at the root the present conflict. Besides direct war, the odds favor Russia, being rich
in oil and minerals."

Zitat Goldbaum:
Genau Woelpertinger, ich werde heute wieder mächtig einen reinfahren. Bin den ganzen Tag mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs. Vorigesmal hat's mich doch glatt aus dem Sattel gehoben. Zum Glück nur im Wald. Man muss doch verdammt aufpassen, sonst ist die Pappe auch noch weg!

Is The Gold Bull Market Over?


By Nick Barisheff

In an April 28, 2005 news release, GFMS announced that the year-end price of gold could reach a 22 year high of US$500. With the price of precious metals in a trading range and mining stocks experiencing double digit declines this announcement comes as a surprise to many gold bugs and analysts. It is particularly noteworthy, since GFMS is notoriously conservative when it comes to predicting future gold price trends.

Of even greater significance are the two main reasons behind GFMS’s position.

First, GFMS states first that growing US deficits, a weakening US dollar and the prospect of a marked US economic slowdown will push up the market value of gold bullion this year and next. Ally that with an event driven rally in the oil price then gold heading for the $500 mark no longer looks fanciful. Second, the downside for the gold price is negligible. This is because of a “robust demand” for physical bullion, and an increased willingness on the part of investors to buy gold on price weakness.

In its Gold Survey 2005, GFMS mentions several developments that together show an increasing interest in physical gold ownership.

Gold coin fabrication rose 7.0 percent in 2004.
Bar hoarding rose a whopping 38 percent in 2004. :))
Producer de-hedging rose to record levels of just over 440 tonnes in 2004.
Gold mine production fell by 5 percent.
Net official sector sales dropped 23 percent to a five-year low.
Scrap gold supply fell to a three-year low of just 828 tonnes.

Cumberland Commences 2005 Drill Program at Meadowbank Gold Project and Advances Development Permitting
Thursday May 5, 2:51 pm ET

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2005--CUMBERLAND RESOURCES LTD. (TSX:CLG - News; AMEX:CLG - News) is pleased to announce that three diamond drills are active and development permitting activities are progressing at the Company's 100% owned Meadowbank gold project located 70 kilometres north of the Hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut. The 2005 exploration program includes a two phased diamond drilling program, planned at 7,000 to 9,000 metres, and grassroots exploration along the 25 kilometre Meadowbank gold trend. The $3.5 million exploration program is focused on increasing gold reserves and resources at Meadowbank, which is host to Canada's largest pure gold open pit gold reserves. Development permitting activities are also progressing with a recent positive conformity decision by the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) on the Meadowbank Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Technical meetings and pre-hearings are scheduled for early June after which the Company expects to receive guidelines for the Final EIS from the NIRB.
"We are pleased with the progress on development permitting and are optimistic that with continuing hard work from all involved parties completion can be achieved in early 2006," stated Kerry Curtis, President and CEO. "We are also pleased to commence our 2005 exploration program and build upon our excellent track record of outlining gold reserves at Meadowbank at a remarkable discovery cost of US$12 per ounce."

Cumberland is advancing Meadowbank towards open pit production of 315,000 ounces of gold per year over an 8.3 year mine life at an estimated total cash cost of US$224 per ounce. A feasibility study(1) was completed by AMEC Americas Ltd. in February 2005 and development permitting is progressing. Operations from three, shallow open pits are planned to commence in mid-2008, provided final permits and licenses are obtained in early 2006.

2005 Exploration Targets

Three drill rigs are currently active in the Phase I drill program which is focused on targets at or near existing deposits. To date approximately 2,500 metres of drilling in 15 drill holes have been completed on the Goose Island deposit, the Goose Island South target and the PDF deposit.

Significant potential exists to expand the Goose Island deposit (368,000 ounces of open pit gold reserves) both along strike and in the down dip direction. The 2005 drilling, a follow up on the significant results from the 2004 drilling program, is testing the potential to expand the designed open pit both to the north and south.

The Goose Island South target area, located approximately 300 metres south of the Goose Island proposed open pit, covers approximately 850 metres of prospective iron formation along strike from the Goose Island deposit. Mineralization intersected in wide spaced drilling completed in 1995 and 1997 is the focus of the current drilling program.

The PDF deposit, located 10 kilometres north of the Vault proposed open pit, was expanded by drilling in late 2004. The deposit now hosts inferred gold resources(3) of 73,000 ounces of gold in 507,000 tonnes grading 4.50 g/t gold, which are not included in the current mine plan. Wide spaced drilling in 2005 is focusing on the expansion potential of the deposit in the down dip direction and follow up on significant results from the 2004 program.

Klar, alles wird teurer..
Da musst du ein "Teurero" sein !

Enough for today..
