    Improvements to Date


    Optimization work to date has included a complete review of mine equipment utilization, a review of personnel requirements, and the incorporation of vendor bids into capital cost estimates. In particular, a review by Snowden Engineering, of Vancouver, British Columbia, has realized a 10% improvement in the utilization of mine equipment, thereby reducing the fleet size and the requirements for equipment purchase and replacement over the entire mine life. The initial capital required for the mining fleet during construction has been reduced from $31 million to approximately $18 million, with sustaining equipment capital being spread out over the first four years. Improvements in equipment utilization have produced corresponding reductions in personnel requirements.


    Other capital cost improvements reflected in the above analysis include significant reductions in the costs of heap leach liner and drill material that were identified through direct vendor quotes.

    Nevada Pacific Cuts Gold in Trench at Cornerstone Project on Cortez Trend
    Wednesday September 7, 10:42 am ET


    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - Sept. 7, 2005) - Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NPG - News) is pleased to announce the intersection of gold mineralization in Trench #1 on its Cornerstone Project, located in Eureka County, Nevada. The Cornerstone Project forms part of the Battle Mountain/Cortez Gold Trend and lies 12 miles southeast of the 10 million ounce Cortez Hills/Pediment deposit (Placer Dome 60% - Kennecott 40%), three miles east of the Company's 100% owned Keystone project and immediately adjacent to the 1.4 million ounce Tonkin Springs gold property owned by US Gold.

    Trench #1 (drill road and drill pad construction) is located 2,500 feet north of US Gold's Rooster deposit and 1,000 feet southwest of NPG's Flag zone. A total of 162 feet of newly exposed bedrock in the road cut has been systematically sampled on five-foot intervals and assayed. The entire 162 feet of exposed bedrock contained gold mineralization averaging 0.028 opt gold with the last 10 feet on the east side grading 0.32 opt gold, at which point the outcrop dives off under gravel cover. NPG presently plans to extend that trench further to the east to help trace the extent of the high grade mineralization. Drilling is presently testing this area of mineralization obtained in the trenching and the area up the hill which contained rock chip values in outcrop of 0.066 opt and 0.099 opt gold. The drill hole assays are pending and will be reported at a later date.


    A recent age date taken in carbonate rocks located to the west of the drilled and trenched area has demonstrated that previously mapped Ordovician age rocks are in fact early to middle Devonian in age, thus demonstrating the existence of more favorable lower plate host rock being exposed at surface.

    Insatiable China Set To Maintain Commodities Boom In Australia
    SYDNEY, Sept 7 Asia Pulse - The Australian commodities boom is expected to continue in the near-term, fuelled by China's insatiable appetite for raw materials, before moderating slightly in 2006.


    And while Australia was poised to benefit, Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics (ABARE) executive director Dr Brian Fisher said the economy was becoming extremely dependent on Chinese demand.

    Dr Fisher said commodity prices were expected to ease next year but would not fall dramatically.


    "In terms of base metals, generally speaking we expect to see some moderate easing of prices in 2006 but not dramatic," Dr Fisher told an Australian Business Economists function today.


    "In the case of energy commodities in 2006, at this stage I'd have to say I expect to see prices about the same as we've seen in 2005.


    "It's sort of tailing off but it's going to be a really slow tailing off subject of course to not having any shock."


    Chinese demand currently accounts for 44 per cent of Australia's iron ore orders and 48 per cent of wool orders, he said.


    "We are becoming very, very dependent on the China story for some of our key commodities, something that I'm sure some would arguably be slightly disturbed about," Dr Fisher said.


    "It is really important that we understand what's happening in China and keep an eye on the Chinese story."


    Energy prices were also expected to remain high for several years as the United States maintained healthy economic growth and China and India continued their economic rises.


    "We've got reasonable demand continuing and therefore, we expect to see energy prices holding up for several years, perhaps not at these sorts of levels but holding up," Dr Fisher said.


    "Recently, we've seen enormous levels of mixed investment in China - enormous compared with the proportion of gross domestic product and a lot of that's about infrastructure development."


    There was also some optimism on the agricultural front, with above average rainfall boosting winter grain production forecasts although harvests were still expected to be down on last year.


    An ABARE report released today said 2005/06 winter grain crops were forecast to hit 31.1 million tonnes, down two per cent from last year but higher than previous expectations.

    Sähe heute sogar noch wesentlich besser aus.

    Diese Aktien werden in Krisenzeiten besonders sichere Investments
    sein aus den bekannten Gründen der Risikominimierung.
    Beide sind aber schon weit vorgelaufen.

    Auszug aus dem Artikel "Bullion Charts - The Katrina Edition
    By Thomas DeChastelain
    ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


    An Empire in Decline


    Katrina is an event which will accelerate the decline of America. What once I thought would occur over decades and centuries will probably now occur over years and decades.


    A civil war in our lifetime is very possible. It will not be with the degenerate neoconservative leadership currently in charge, but with what replaces it - a right wing nationalist movement, most likely within the Republican party itself. It will quickly devolve into a quasi-Facist belief system. A market bottom (for general equities) will come during this time, when blood, literally, is flowing in the streets.


    The big think tanks have a cost of $100 billion for Katrina reconstruction. They are wrong. Anyone with project management experience can tell you to multiply that number by 2.5; and that is with competent management.


    Neoconservative theory states that increasing corporate profit margins is the variable around which a society should be organized. This is optimized by redistributing the maximum amount of money from the taxpayer into corporate coffers, for the smallest return to nation and said taxpayer. Forget about a dike system like the Dutch. The neocons hate the Dutch.


    Look instead to the Afghanistan and Iraq reconstruction model to be followed in America. Expect lots of non-competitive cost-plus contracts with no deadlines and waivers allowing them to employ illegal aliens. The inhabitants? Please. There is a reason why the evacuation process often resembles a prisoner transfer.


    Bush stated that the US could do both Iraq, and domestic reconstruction. The US can do neither. The US is broke. They are in debt up to thier eyeballs. Their cashflow is negative.


    When this becomes apparant expect the neocons to attack Iran. Completely under the radar is the fact that the US currently has six plus of their best front-line divisions in Iraq. "Officially" they are there to support upcoming constitutional elections. I remain sceptical.


    Not shown here but silver has done what I had once thought gold would be doing pre-Katrina. Looks like a big false break-down. The sharp bounce back along with excellent COT structure bodes well for gold. A strong silver price is also good because it would be a sign that the overall markets are not going to crash. I think a general market crash is the only last real threat for gold stocks.


    The charts for gold are all bullish. The charts for the dollar are bearish. The action last week may have been an emotional reaction to Katrina - or more fundamentally an anticipation of the Fed being forced to end his rate-hike regime. This is confirmed by the bond market.


    It is hard to imagine things getting worse than last week. I think the relative illusion of progress and some semblance of organization will cool things down temporarily. With the arrival with Gen Honore we finally have some stress tested adult supervision working the problem. The resources available to him are only a fraction of what should be made available. If there was ever a time to go over the top and throw the kitchen sink at something, then Katrina is it.


    FEMA and HomeLand security have become holy grails for organizational brainlock. The heads spend more time in front of cameras telling everyone how great they are, than actually doing thier real jobs


    I think the market is wrong about Greenspan. I think he wants to keep raising rates. I think he wants to reload his gun as much as possible. I think he is terrified of what a plumetting dollar would do to the oil price - and will blow as much air as he can under the dollar.
    The general equity markets are playing a game of chicken with the Fed. The markets remain relatively strong in anticipation of the Fed lowering rates. The Fed, seeing relatively strong markets, finds no reason to stop doing what he wants to do. In a game of chicken one does not fight the Fed. The Fed will win. The Fed will raise rates until the market crashes, and that is the world we live in.


    I find it hard to imagine the gold complex retesting last year's lows. I find it hard to think even my reverse H&S target would be reached. COT though still stikes me as being bearish...in the end, price action trumps all.


    I have exposure to gold and oil because I think they will continue trending up. I know the oil bears state that there is no supply problem, and the multi-country release of oil will batter the oil price. Maybe. I think countries all releasing strategic reserves, even when supposedly there is no supply problem, and production is at its highest levels since the Dawn of Creation - is perhaps the first concrete signal that Peak Oil is upon us.


    I think gold and energy are necessary stocks to hold if you want to protect yourself from being priced into the stone age.


    I would also hold a healthy portion of cash. In trying to predict how Katrina will affect markets, your guess is as good as mine. In the end I don't know, I can only speculate. The cash is there in case I wake up and find that everything is going down the drain. In that case the cash is there ready to pick up more gold and oil once things look to have bottomed.


    America does not have a real man in charge. Remembering to keep your thumbs turned in, does not make a strong leader. He is a wanna-be, a fake...a poseur. He is leading America into ruin. That is not speculation. That is certainty.


    Good trading.
