    @ alle


    Ich habe da meine meinung ueber die sorgenkinder im SA thread geschrieben wie man am besten nun vorgehen kann.
    Die schon im Hippo :D pool schwimmen sollten aber vorsichtig sein.
    Da koennten ein paar Crocodile's in der naehe sein wie Anglo etc.
    Ausser fuer Lupo der gerade eine ausbildung als Crocodile Dundee macht in down under. 8) 8) Enjoy it , have a bal, mate ! ;)
    Play the dijarido and party, I envy you ! :]

    Es waere eigentlich vernuenftigt erstmal abstand von den oben genannte aktien zu nehmen bis sich der markt/rand sich echt aendert.
    Selbst wenn man nicht gleich bei Abfahrt im zug sitzt wuerde ich folgendes empfehlen. Erst aufspringen wenn die Aktien ueber eine woche sich bei diesen Randkurs gehalten haben. Ihr koennt ja bei dieser Station einsteigen wenn ihr glaubt der Zug faehrt eine lange strecke.:


    HMY R 55.00
    GFI R 78.00
    DRD R 8.00


    Chart technisch gesehen waeren sie dann aus dem Schneider.
    Dann aber wieder -12% Stoploss setzen von letzten high.


    Nur ein Vorschlag ! ;)


    Verdient euer geld in der zwischenzeit wo anders und blockiert euch nicht mit Aktien deren zukunft z.Zt, ungewiss ?(ist.


    Zeit ist Geld ! :P und die zeit heilt ! :))

    Richtige meinung ueber DRD wie ich es sehe. Aber stur bleiben hilft wenig wenn man dann monate/Jahre braucht um da trocken wieder rauszukommen. Bei 0.80 USD ist bei mir die badezeit vorbei,dann gehe ich wieder ins trockene.Der Rand koennte sie retten,aber der sauhund geht einfach nicht runter. Meine Warrants von GFI/HMY kann ich ebenso runterspuelen mit R 80 strike am 15/4 und 15/6. Ich koennte mich in den arsch beissen,dachte der Rand geht frueher baden.Was solls, life goes on und Geduld sowie Timing sind emotional getriggert.
    Zum Glueck habe ich viel gestreut,irgend etwas wird schon das andere
    ausgleichen.Nur auf ein Pferd setzen ist verrueckt,es sei den man weiss hundertprozentig das es gewinnt.


    Klar, es war das hippo, es hat ja immer mit wasser zu tun :D :D
    Scheiss RSA aktien, da kann man sich aergern bis man schwarz ist. X(


    Immer das selbe, expect the unexpected ! 8o

    Denke mal an IMA.V, der grosse Aussenseiter !


    Ich habe das gefuehl wir stehen kurz vor einen drei monatigen Zick Zack Ansteig auf die 450 und 8 Dollar. Ende naechster Woche werden uns die charts es bestaetigen.Der markt ist fast ausgewaschen und vielen juckt es in den fingern. Meine vielen juniors sind im schnitt -16% im minus, dass kann ich aber locker aushalten und abwarten bis die ins plus drehen.
    Mit Seniors sind es knapp 6% im plus. Ist schon verrueckt, zehn jahre kaufe und verkaufe ich und jetzt haben wir wieder Einsteigerpreise. :D


    Bin nun voll investiert, der weitere Fruehjahrsschlussverkauf muss ohne mich stattfinden. :( $$$$$$ No money,no honey ! :D


    Jetzt gibts mal eine kleine Pause. ;)


    Die Saat ist gesaet !

    Dear Shareholders,



    We are sure you have been following the exciting news from O. T.’s Ruby Property in our January and February press releases. As you will recall, O.T. encountered a “porphyry” (pronounced pour-fur-ree) copper system in our core-drilling program late last year. This copper occurrence and some of the technical terms used in exploration were described to you in the letter we sent last January.


    After completing a detailed examination of the drill core, we have determined that the drill hole (number NA04-6) encountered 1,329 feet of porphyry copper mineralization beneath 587 feet of non-mineralized volcanic rocks (non-mineralized means that they had no copper or other metals in them). This is very exciting for three reasons:


    1) The copper mineralization was “blind” (not exposed at surface) because it is covered by the volcanic rocks. We drilled the hole because our cutting-edge MMI (Mobile Metal Ions) soil samples indicated that the porphyry copper occurred at depth beneath the volcanic rocks. This demonstrates that the MMI technique works and we have a number of other MMI drill targets that have not yet been drilled.


    2) The porphyry appears to be the extension of a previously known geophysical anomaly to the northeast defined by the Anaconda Company in 1968. If so, the overall porphyry system is extremely large with approximate dimensions of 15,000 feet in length and 8,000 feet in width. These dimensions make the porphyry copper mineralization a very large and significant target. O.T. has staked additional claims to acquire mineral rights over this prospective area.


    3) The 1,329 feet of drilled porphyry was sampled continuously, and analyzed for copper and other elements. The porphyry contained “anomalous” (above average) copper throughout, and locally ran as high as 0.49% copper. The 11 samples with the highest copper mineralization were again analyzed using two different methods to check the initial results. We are pleased to report that the quality of the analyses from our laboratory (SGS Minerals Services) in Toronto is excellent. The new results indicate a range of copper of up to 0.49%, and also indicated the presence of up to 0.03% molybdenum. Representative samples were collected for analysis based upon the geologic features in the core, and individual samples had lengths that varied from 0.8 to 5.0 feet long. Some of the copper values would be even higher if samples had been collected over very short intervals. However, taking very short samples would give a misleading measure of the true copper content in the core. In addition to the copper, the holes contained the favorable potassic and phyllic alteration that we described to you in our last letter.



    We now know that the porphyry system appears to be quite large and, in our initial hole, contains anomalous copper throughout its vertical extent. This is not surprising as we have stressed all along that the Ruby Property is close to the giant copper porphyry deposit at nearby Butte, Montana. The drill hole was stopped while still in the mineralized zone in order to comply with Forest Service winter drilling regulations, and it is unknown how much deeper the porphyry system extends. Importantly, the higher copper grades were more common in the deeper depths of the hole. It is O. T.’s intention to re-enter the hole as early in 2005 as possible and continue drilling deeper to determine the total thickness of the copper-bearing zone.


    As a consequence of these positive results, O. T. has been approached by several large international companies who have expressed their interest in the Ruby project. One of these companies stated they were impressed with the quality and quantity of work the O.T. has completed on the Ruby Property and that the porphyry copper discovery could be a very significant zone of mineralization. After careful consideration of all possibilities, your management and technical team have decided to maintain complete control of the Property and push forward with the planned exploration program for the next year. This will add value to the Property by undertaking 18,000 feet of diamond drilling, geological mapping, Mobile Metal Ions geophysical surveys. These efforts will be done over the new porphyry copper target and other targets on the Ruby Mine-Ruby West and Kit Carson portions of the Property.


    Recently, the diligence of O.T.’s two new team members in Montana has resulted in the discovery of data suggesting that the overlying volcanic rocks could host very wide zones of copper mineralization in the newly staked area of the porphyry copper mineralization. The importance of this cannot be underestimated. Additional copper mineralization above the porphyry could indicate that mineralization is much closer to the surface than was originally thought. Currently, there is no way to determine how close the copper mineralization is to the surface in such a large zone without a serious exploration effort. O.T. will undertake its exploration programs with the aim of verifying this new information in the coming months.


    We will continue to keep you up-to-date on any and all exploration developments over the upcoming months.

    EXCELLON ANNOUNCES THAT PLATOSA RAMP


    HAS REACHED MINERALIZATION



    April 07, 2005



    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



    Toronto, Ontario......Excellon Resources Inc. (TSXV-EXN) is pleased to announce that the Platosa Ramp, on its 100% owned Platosa Property in Durango, Mexico has reached massive sulphide mineralization at approximately 670 metres down-ramp. The mineralization consists of massive galena and sphalerite with minor pyrite and carbonate gangue and lies right at the edge of the “4C Manto” Indicated Resource* as defined in the Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (“RPA”), independent geological and mining consultants, N.I. 43-101 report of December 10, 2003 (report available at http://www.sedar.com) The 4C is the second largest of the mineralized bodies targeted for initial test mining and contains an Indicated Resource of 19,600 Tonnes grading 1,276 g/T Ag (37 oz/T Ag); 11.1% Pb, and 16.4% Zn. Continuous channel sampling of the present face has been done and assays are pending, but visual comparison indicates that grades will be similar to those for the drillholes that define the 4C Manto. Strong sulphides were also encountered approximately 15 metres up-ramp to the south and are believed to be an offshoot of the 4C developed on a strong NW-SE structure. Some 200 tonnes of development muck generated from cutting through these sulphides was stockpiled for shipment.



    Now that the first of the seven principal bodies defined as Indicated Resources* has been reached, the ramp will continue to depth to develop the 5A Manto, the largest and highest grade body known to date on the property. The 5A Manto contains 24,500 Tonnes grading 3,912 g/T Ag (114 oz/T Ag); 22.3% Pb and 6.5% Zn. The 5A lies approximately 20 metres below the current ramp level and will require some 135 metres of additional ramping to reach. A ventilation raise has also begun which is expected to take approximately 2 weeks to reach surface from the current ramp level. Full scale mining and underground drilling will begin once the raise is completed and appropriate ventilation is established.



    Excellon’s Chairman, Richard Brissenden, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be in mineralization at last, and are additionally pleased to have also encountered significant mineralization well outside the currently defined Indicated Resource, since this will likely add significantly to our tonnage. This is typical of Manto orebodies throughout Mexico and we expect that similar offshoots will be found along the margins of most of our mantos. We plan to continue driving into the heart of the 4C Manto to bring it into full-scale production within the next few weeks.”



    The Platosa exploration program is designed and supervised by Mr. A. D. MacKenzie, P. Eng., and Dr. Peter Megaw, respectively Excellon’s President, and its Consulting Geologist and Exploration Manager of its Mexican subsidiary. Assaying and check-assaying is being performed by ALS-Chemex Laboratories of Vancouver and BSI Inspectorate of Reno, Nevada. Engineering design and supervision of the test mining program has been executed by RPA. Mine development is being done by Puertos y Tuneles S.A. de C.V. of Queretaro, Mexico under the direction of Joy Merz, Platosa Mine Manager.



    *Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not classified as mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.



    Qualified Person and Quality Assurance and Control


    Dr. Peter Megaw, Ph.D., C.P.G., has acted as the Qualified Person as defined in N.I. 43-101, for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical information on which this release is based. Dr. Megaw has a Ph.D. in geology and more than 20 years of relevant experience focused on silver and gold mineralization, and exploration and drilling in Mexico. He is a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG 10227) by the American Institute of Professional Geologists and an Arizona Registered Geologist (ARG 21613). Dr. Megaw is not independent of Excellon as he is a shareholder and his company receives a Finder’s Fee with respect to the Platosa/Saltierra property.

    Rand under R6.10/$ on reserves


    Apr 07 2005 09:28:05:003AM Helmo Preuss



    Johannesburg - The rand firmed in early trade on Thursday after the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) said it cut back its US dollar buying to add to reserves to only $282m in March from $461m in February.
    Currency traders expect a fairly range bound day with the range between R6.04 and R6.14, with the unit looking to the euro for direction.


    The rand tends to follow the euro because the Eurozone is South Africa's largest trading partner.


    At 08:52, the rand was quoted at R6.0976/US$ from an overnight close of R6.1338 and Tuesday's close of R6.1951. It was quoted at R7.8591 to the euro from a previous R7.8802 and Tuesday's close of R7.9515.


    The rand was at R11.4880 against sterling from Wednesday's close of R11.5380 and Tuesday's R11.6430.


    The euro was quoted at $1.2926 from $1.2872 late on Wednesday and $1.2852 late on Tuesday, while gold was quoted at $427.03 a troy ounce from a previous $426.70/oz.


    "The rand got a boost from the reduced buying by the SARB, which is likely to be a feature in April as well.


    That is why the rand is stronger against all the currencies, not just the dollar," a currency trader said.


    The SARB said opportunities for buying dollars were limited at times by the sizeable fluctuations during March in the major international currencies.


    The July 2004, foreign exchange reserves exceeded $10bn for the first time and stood at $10.251bn at the end of that month. They stood at a record $14.162bn at the end of March.


    A total of $1.706bn in gold reserves lifted total gross reserves to $15.868bn at the end of March.


    AFX reported that the US dollar rose against the yen and lost ground to the euro on Wednesday, following a third consecutive session without US economic reports.


    In late trade the dollar was up 0.3% at 108.62 yen, while the euro was up 0.2% at $1.2869.


    "The market is mainly marking time until later this month when we get inflation data that will help us understand what the Federal Reserve will do about interest rates," said Mike Malpede, Senior Currency Analyst at Refco.


    The market on Wednesday focused largely on a recommendation from Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan that legislators would have to limit the size of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac portfolios - as well as tighten oversight of the agencies - to reduce risk to the financial system.

    Daily Gold Review
    Erik Gebhard
    for Thu. Apr 7, 2005


    June Gold: Close= 429.2 +2.6


    Listless trading on the dollar gave much needed support in the gold pits, as prices rebounded off the 200 day moving average, and closed above the 10 day moving average for the first time since March 16. It appears those long in gold are unwilling to see prices move much lower than $426 oz.


    Seemingly, the cool off in energy prices has allowed other news to break through, with reports today that the US would actively block any gold sales by the IMF. This aggressive stance should help those gold bugs regain some confidence in their long positions. However, a major breakout seems unlikely until more substantial news rattles some real nerves on either side of the dollar. News to watch for this week is Thursday's European Central Bank's decision on rates, and the US jobless report. If selling pressure cannot successfully press below $426, the yellow metal should find more support at $430.


    Patience still is key to these markets right now, with direction not apparent. Look for gold prices to react inversely to the dollar, but a more receptive mood to outside influences this week could key activity. If you're of the mind that the dollar could find support here, you might consider selling gold calls and/or buying puts. Contact us for details. Resistance can be found at $430.0 $430.8, $431.0, and $432.8. Major upside goals are $433 and $436. Support can be found at $428.0, $427.3, $426.0, and $425.2. Major downside objectives are $424 and $420.

    Public servants in fraud scam


    Apr 06 2005 07:24:31:140AM



    Cape Town - The South African Government is probing 37 000 public servants who are allegedly receiving various forms of grants fraudulently and costing the government "lots of money", says Social Development Minister Zola Skweyiya.


    He said this on Tuesday in his Budget vote at Parliament. "We are currently working closely with the various law enforcement agencies such as the Special Investigations Unit, the Scorpions and the South African Police Service to investigate fraud and corruption related to public servants and syndicates."


    Skweyiya told a briefing of journalists earlier that the suspected fraud involved about R1.5 billion.


    Some of the cases may involve teachers and nurses who had retired and believed that they could also receive old age pensions, but this was not the case, he said.


    In the meantime about 30 000 people had come forward to ask for indemnity for receiving social grants fraudulently. The deadline ended last month.


    He said, however, that public servants and syndicates would not be granted indemnity - they would be prosecuted. :D


    Just as with those who had applied for indemnity, the state would save about R120 million a year, said the minister.


    Inadequate systems The minister pointed to the problem of having an inadequate computer checking system - the Department of Home Affairs was still attempting to set up the Hanis system after seven years of trying to implement it. This system should be used to double check identities of those receiving grants - but the system was not functioning. :D


    He said the problem would be tackled by the soon-to-be-established South African Social Security Agency which would take over the role of paying grants - including old age, disability and child grants - from the various provinces. Each and every employee would be screened and a chief executive officer would be appointed in due course. He noted that about R70bn per year went to social grant beneficiaries.

    1. Today (Thursday) metals should move up and failing to doing that is clear signal of moving down another week that is next week. One can sell today, If they rise strongly. We may wait another few days before we start buying it. "DON'T HURRY IN BUYING METALS".


    2. Oil has been trading around $55.80 so it is not giving a clear buying signal so please wait for my recommendation on it. I won't hurry to cover my short position.

    3. I am holding dollar index and I waiting to add more if it comes a little bit down, so I think you got my answer on currencies. ?( (strong dollar stays for a while).
