    Silver Standard reports significant increase in silver resources at Berenguela Project, Peru


    Source: Press Release

    Silver Standard Resources Inc. is pleased to report a significantly increased silver resource estimate for the Berenguela project located five kilometres west of Santa Lucia on the altiplano of southern Peru. The updated resource estimate follows the company's completion of 19,029 meters of reverse circulation drilling in 222 holes since 2004.


    The Berenguela project is now estimated to host indicated silver resources totalling 66.1 million ounces and inferred silver resources totalling 21.6 million ounces, based on a cut-off grade of 50 grams of silver per tonne.


    Prior to Silver Standard's drilling program, the Berenguela property had an historic inferred resource of 56.3 million ounces of silver.


    Silver Standard holds an option to acquire all of the property's silver resources. Under the terms of the option agreement, Silver Standard is required, among other things, to provide the vendors with a resource estimate in accordance with Canada's National Instrument 43-101, prior to the exercise of the option. With the delivery of the resource estimate to the vendors, Silver Standard has until November 3, 2005 to exercise its option. Based on current silver prices, silver resource acquisition costs at Berenguela would be US$0.06 per ounce.


    Following the exercise of the option for the silver resources at Berenguela, the company's projects will host measured silver resources totalling 101.9 million ounces; indicated silver resources totalling 477.1 million ounces; and inferred resources totalling 409.3 million ounces. In addition, the company has significant exposure to gold resources.


    In other developments, the company continues updating of feasibility work at its wholly-owned Pirquitas project in northern Argentina, including the commencement of a small-scale underground development program for the Oploca Vein; drilling at the wholly-owned Pitarrilla property in Durango, Mexico; and feasibility studies of the 50%-owned Manantial Espejo silver-gold property in southern Argentina. Pursuant to a property option agreement and TSX regulations, the company also reports the issuance of 3,170 common shares to the holder of a silver-copper property located in northern Argentina.


    Silver Standard Resources Inc. is a well-financed silver resource company with $29.7 million in cash, and 1.95 million ounces of physical silver, marketable securities and other investments valued at $21.9 million at August 31, 2005. The company continues to seek resource growth through development of its own projects, exploration and acquisitions.

    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.


    ADVERTISEMENT
    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.


    Mr. Curt Everson, P.Geol., M.Sc. is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for program design and quality control of exploration undertaken by the Company in Nevada.


    Nevada Pacific Gold Ltd. was founded in March 1997. The Company owns the Magistral Gold Mine in Mexico and an exploration property portfolio covering approximately 75 square miles of mineral rights including portions of two significant gold producing belts in the State of Nevada. The Company's BMX, Keystone and Limousine Butte projects are under joint venture agreement to Placer Dome U.S.A description of these projects, including maps and photographs can be viewed on the Company's website at http://www.nevadapacificgold.com.

    Nun, das hat man davon,wenn man PM -Optimist ist. ;)
    Wenn ich Uranwerte rausnehme, die sind mehr Energie:


    67 : 32 : 1


    Aber in 67% stecken rd 13% IMR,CDU usw.usw, keine reinen PM.
    Schon woanders gesagt : der Rest ist neben Ölsand Öl,Uran und Logistik.


    Der hohe Anteil Metalle beruhigt mich eher, als er mich schreckt. :]
    Aladin und GSP - Komet liegen bei 100 %. Ich denke hpopth auch höher.

    Im Spaß :Haben da Thai Guru,der Thai und/oder Aladin/Eldorado,der Thailand - Fan,Valuten drin oder Aktien?
    Wäre zusätzlicher Anreiz. ;)

    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.

    Bemerkenswert das relativ gute Ranking von Tan Range / TNX.
    Sähe heute sogar noch wesentlich besser aus.
    Gründer und Mehrheitsaktionär : Jim Sinclair! :]


    Ist nach meiner Kenntnis die einzige Goldaktie neben
    Royal Gold / RGLD auf der Grundlage von Royalty - Erträgen.


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