Mexico und seine Edelmetalle
Mexico ist ein an Rohstoffen reiches Land und wird trotz der Schattenseiten für den Edelmetallmarkt immer wichtiger. Im Februar ist die Silberproduktion auf 375.000 Kilogramm gestiegen. Die Goldproduktion stieg um 34% und die Kupferproduktion sogar um 38%. 2011 wurden in Mexico 4.500 Tonnen Silber produziert und liegt damit vor China und Peru auf dem ersten Platz. Bei Gold sieht es etwas anders aus. Dort befindet sich Mexico mit 86 Tonnen auf dem zehnten Platz. Hier ist China der Vorreiter mit 355 Tonnen gefördertes Gold im Jahre 2011.
Mexico liegt dafür aber bei den Förderkosten ganz vorne. Diese liegen durchschnittlich bei ca. 325 Dollar pro Unze Gold. Weltweit liegt der Durchschnitt bei ca. 650 – 700 Dollar pro Unze. Damit wird auch Mexico bei den Bergbaukonzernen immer beliebter.
Der Rohstoffreichtum könnte der armen Bevölkerung von Mexico viele Arbeitsplätze beschaffen, wenn denn die Sicherheitslage im gesamten Mexico nicht so angespannt wäre. Auch die Korruption wird leider immer ein Thema sein, aber die meisten Goldliegenschaften und Minen befinden sich im Süden und in der Mitte von Mexico. Der bittere Drogenkrieg findet mehr im Norden und in der Mitte des Landes und an den Grenzen zur USA seine Opfer. Bislang sind uns keine schlimmeren Vorfälle durch die Drogenkartelle bei Bergbauunternehmen bekannt und wir hoffen auch, dass dies so bleiben wird..

It’s Heating Up in California (and Vetas), Colombia
Event
Last week we visited Galway’s California and Vetas properties located in the
Department of Santander, Colombia.
Recommendation
We continue to recommend investors accumulate shares of Galway on what
#0000ff">we view as significant exploration potential at California and Vetas, as well as
exposure to strong consolidation potential for the California mining region..

Quote: Galway Resources' Hauptprojekte liegen im renommierten California-Vetas District im Nordosten von Kolumbien. Die erste Ressourcenschätzung (RE) für Galway's California Projekt ist überfällig (angekündigt auf Ende Q2). Sie sollte innerhalb der nächsten 2 Wochen publiziert werden. Nordöstlich von California liegt das ehemalige weltklasse Projekt (La Bodega, La Mascota) von Ventana Gold (1,5+ Milliarden USD Übernahme durch Eike Batista's AUX), auf dem eines der signifikantesten Goldvorkommen des letzten Jahrzehnts in Südamerika entdeckt wurde - die letzte Ressourcenschätzung von AUX umfasste mehr wie 7 Millionen Unzen Gold und zudem eine schicke Silber- und Kupferressource. Das Herzstück des hochgradigen Mineraltrends setzt sich nach Südwesten über die Liegenschaften von Galway fort, die ebenfalls auf etliche hochgradige Goldmineralisierungen gestoßen sind. Es liegt nahe, dass Galway als zukünftiges Übernahmeobjekt für AUX gehandelt wird. Demnach wird die erste RE mit großer Spannung nun erwartet..

Standard Graphite Discovers New Graphite Trend on Little-Bryan Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 11, 2012) - Standard Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SGH) (the "Company") is pleased to update its shareholders on the exploration progress on the Little-Bryan property in Ontario. The ground prospecting and geological reconnaissance program resulted in the discovery of a new graphite horizon lying approximately one (1) kilometre to the north of the original trend, coincident with the North electromagnetic (EM) trend outlined by the airborne geophysical survey.
During the months of April and May 2012, Standard mandated MPH Consulting Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario to conduct a preliminary prospecting and geological reconnaissance program over its Ontario properties, Black Donald and Little-Bryan. The objective was to sample and evaluate the known graphite occurrences, as well as locating outcrops along the conductive trends highlighted during the property-scale airborne geophysical surveys completed in January of 2012.
The program was successful with the field team being able to locate and sample the historical trenches on the Little-Bryan property along the South conductor, and to trace its extent approximately three (3) kilometres past the existing work towards the west. The most important highlight of the program came with the confirmation that the newly discovered North conductor is similar to the South conductor, with both being caused by a graphite-bearing sequence of rusty gneisses and minor calcsilicates.
A total of 33 representative reconnaissance samples were collected from outcrops, including 13 from the North and 19 from the South conductors. The following map highlights the results from the first phase ground exploration program on Little-Bryan:

Chris Bogart, President and CEO, comments: "This new discovery at Little-Bryan confirms that we have selected the optimal approach to our exploration. The airborne TDEM survey proved its great effectiveness at tracing known mineralization and outlining new targets. With only 13 samples collected on the new North trend thus far, this leaves ample room along the five (5) kilometre trend for a potential high-grade discovery, while the South trend delivered some outstanding results with grades up to 9.81% Cg."
The Little-Bryan property is located some 140 kilometres from Ottawa in Renfrew County, and consists of 15 claims covering approximately 2800 hectares.

Tiberius Rohstoff-Research: Marktkommentar Juni 2012
Der Juni 2012 war eine regelrechte Achterbahnfahrt für die Rohstoffmärkte. Nachdem die großen Rohstoffindizes die meiste Zeit des Monats in negativem Bereich verharrten, brachten die letzten beiden Handelstage eine enorme Kursrallye, sodass diese letztlich im Plus schließen konnten. Die Indizes mit..

Der zweitgrößte Goldproduzent der Welt wird nach der Senkung des Ausblicks hart abgestraft. Der Aktienkurs fällt unter hohem Volumen an der Heimatbörse um zeitweise mehr wie 10% auf ein Niveau nahe dem 2-Jahrestief..

China importiert weniger Rohöl und Kupfer
Die Ölpreise starten mit deutlichen Abschlägen in den neuen Handelstag. In Norwegen hat die Regierung kurz vor Beginn der Aussperrung den seit gut zwei Wochen andauernden Streik in der Öl- und Gasindustrie für beendet erklärt. Eine Aussperrung hätte die komplette Ölproduktion des achtgrößten Ölexportlandes von bis zu 2 Mio. Barrel pro Tag lahmgelegt. Damit entfällt von nun an ein wesentlicher Faktor, welcher die Ölpreise in den vergangenen Tagen unterstützt hat. Zusätzliche Belastung für die Preise kommt von enttäuschenden chinesischen Importzahlen. China hat im Juni deutlich weniger Rohöl importiert, da die Raffinerien ihren Auslastungsgrad im vergangenen Monat merklich reduziert haben..

Standard Graphite verkündete gestern gute News von den Ground Programs auf Little-Bryan - unabhängig vom Impact am Aktienkurs und dem Volumen. Wir sehen weiterhin einen enorm schwierigen Markt für Juniorunternehmen, dem gegenwärtig selbst sehr gute News und Fortschritte selten richtig trotzen können.
Die elektromagnetischen Gutachten scheinen sich bereits ausgezahlt zu haben. Basierend auf den guten Ergebnissen der EM-Gutachten hatte Standard aussichtsreiche targets für die darauffolgenden Ground Programs ausgewählt. Durch die in den letzten Wochen durchgeführten Programme ist Standard auf einen "neuen" Graphit-Korridor gestoßen. Dieser verläuft rund 1km nördlich des in den EM-Gutachten identifizierten Hauptkorridors, welcher in der Projektmitte von Osten nach Westen verläuft, und neben ein paar Unregelmäßigkeiten kontinuierliche Mineralisierungen aufweist.
Die Eigenschaften des „neu“ abgesteckten Graphitkorridors im nördlichen Projektteil können sich sehen lassen. Der mineralisierte Korridor ist mehr wie 5km lang und hat eine durchschnittliche Breite von ca. 200-250m. Dabei ist der identifizierte Korridor fast durchgehend! mineralisiert. Das ergibt eine stolze Fläche mit sehr aussichtsreichen Graphitmineralisierungen. Dazu passt auch der Vergleich mit dem Süd-Korridor: " The most important highlight of the program came with the confirmation that the newly discovered North conductor is similar to the South conductor, with both being caused by a graphite-bearing sequence of rusty gneisses and minor calcsilicates."
Ziele der abgeschlossenen Folgearbeiten im Rahmen der Bohrvorbereitungsprogramme, waren u.a. die Entnahme von Proben an ausgewählten Stellen, die aufgrund von kleinen Graphitvorkommen (in occurrences, outcrops) aufgefallen sind. Sowie der Test von graphithaltigen Mineralisierungen, die durch historische Trenches entlang der identifizierten Korridore durchgeführt wurden.
Standard’s beauftragte Geofirma entnahm insgesamt 33 Proben an ausgewählten Stellen, davon 19 im mineralisierten Süd-Korridor und 14 im Nord-Korridor. In der Spitze enthalten die repräsentativen Proben hochgradige Werte von fast 10% Graphit - das sind starke Ergebnisse.
Auf der folgenden Map kann man sich ansehen, an welchen Stellen in dem mineralisierten Korridor die Proben entnommen wurden: http://www.standardgraphite.com/i/pdf/LBryan.pdf
Dazu der ansprechende Kommentar vom CEO Chris Bogart: „This new discovery at Little-Bryan confirms that we have selected the optimal approach to our exploration. The airborne TDEM survey proved its great effectiveness at tracing known mineralization and outlining new targets. With only 13 samples collected on the new North trend thus far, this leaves ample room along the five (5) kilometre trend for a potential high-grade discovery, while the South trend delivered some outstanding results with grades up to 9.81% Cg."
Mit den nächsten Ergebnissen der Ground Programs auf dem Black Donald Projekt, das die ehemals größte Graphitmine Kanadas umschließt, kann man in naher Zeit rechnen: „..During the months of April and May 2012, Standard mandated MPH Consulting Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario to conduct a preliminary prospecting and geological reconnaissance program over its Ontario properties, Black Donald and Little-Bryan..”

"In addition, the first ground program in Ontario has commenced. The program will begin on Little-Bryan to follow up on the several kilometres of potential graphite mineralization from known graphitic trenches, and a second near-surface conductive trend lying approximately one kilometre to the north (see news release of February 21, 2012). The initial program will consist of prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling along the conductors to prioritize the optimum areas for trenching and a follow up Phase 1 drill program..” werden die ersten Ground Programs (mapping, sampling, trenching, target definition etc.) gestartet!

Crocodile Gold Triples Its Gold Production to 36,117 Ounces in the Second Quarter of 2012
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 12, 2012) - Crocodile Gold Corp. (TSX:CRK)(OTCQX:CROCF)(FRANKFURT:XGC) ("Crocodile Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it produced 36,117 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2012 and 46,876 ounces year to date in the period ending June 30, 2012.

This table is compiled from unaudited production figures. Audited results can have slight variations and will be released as part of the Company's Quarterly Reporting.
With the completion of the acquisition of the Fosterville ("FGM") and Stawell ("SGM") gold mines on May 4th, the Company significantly increased its gold production, more than tripling its production in the second quarter compared to the company's first quarter 2012 performance. For year over year comparison purposes, when the FGM and SGM mines are included as if they were owned by Crocodile on January 1, 2012, the Company's pro-forma gold production performance year to date through June 30, 2012 was approximately 95,000 ounces.
Commenting on these results, Chantal Lavoie, President and CEO of the Company said, "This year's second quarter has been transformational for our Company with the acquisition of the Fosterville and Stawell mines, the completion of the $75 million debt facility with Credit Suisse AG and the continued progress at our Cosmo project in the Northern Territory. At the operational level, best practices are already being shared and implemented and we have seen positive results at all the sites."
Operational Update-State of Victoria
The Company successfully completed the acquisition of the FGM and SGM gold mines acquisition on May 4th. Associated with the acquisition, the Company completed a $75 million debt facility with Credit Suisse AG.
The operating teams of FGM and SGM have been fully integrated into Crocodile Gold and after a transitional period in May, both mines produced more ounces of gold in June than in any other month in 2012.
The Company completed operational reviews and made the decision to transition the operation of SGM, which will see underground mining activities being completed by the end of 2013. The decision to cease mining activities at SGM after 2013 will result in significantly reduced capital expenditures at SGM starting in the fourth quarter of 2012 and continuing throughout 2013. This should result in material free cash flow generation from SGM in this period during which gold is being produced, but no development capital is being spent.
Operational Update-Northern Territory
At Cosmo, underground drilling continued and results to date confirm the ore zones are wider than expected in several locations. The wider ore zones should allow for simpler mining techniques, lower dilution and ultimately lower cost production which are all positive, long-term developments for Crocodile Gold.
In the short-term, the wider ore zones require adjustments to the mining method and sequence. In conjunction with this, development rates have been lower than expected. Remedial plans have been developed with the main contractor, Leighton, and development rates in June reached all-time highs despite continuing labour shortages in the region.
Trial mining in Zone A has been successful with lower than expected dilution and grades and metallurgical recoveries as per plan.
The Company continued to progress on permitting the International open pit mine. This includes an amendment made to the project development sequence, in line with comments received from regulators. A production decision is still expected by the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company has not included any production from the International property in its 2012 guidance.
The Company has successfully re-negotiated the ore haulage contract, which will see a significant reduction in associated costs over the next two years
Surface mining activities at Rising Tide (Phase 1) were completed and the decision was taken to not proceed with the next phase nor with the remaining mining of the Princess Louise and North Point deposits, given lower than expected grade results and price escalation by the surface mining contractor.
Exploration and Advanced Projects - Update
The Company completed its Union Reefs drilling program with nearly 11,500 meters drilled. Results will be used to update the mineral resources and mineral reserves model in the third quarter. In June, permits required to initiate the excavation of an exploration decline were received. A decision regarding the next phase of the project will be taken later this year.
In June, a review was completed by an independent consultant confirming the applicability of BIOX technology, which is currently being utilized at the Fosterville Mine, to the Maud Creek deposit, therefore providing a technical and economical solution for gold recovery.
On May 16th 2012, the Company signed a binding agreement with Primary Minerals NL of Perth, Australia for the sale of the Mt. Bundy property in the Northern Territory. This agreement remains subject to various conditions subsequent that are expected to be satisfied by the end of 2012.
Additional details of the second quarter will be provided in the Management Discussion and Analysis report, which will be released in conjunction with the Company's financial statements in mid-August.

Chile’s largest open pit copper mine starts conversion to underground
Chile’s largest open pit copper mine, Chuquicamata, has officially started its conversion towards an underground mine, a project that will cost Codelco over $2 billion in the preliminary phase, but that will allow the world’s number one copper producer to substantially increase production and extend the mine lifespan..

War zu erwarten, dass sie diese Finanzierung mit einer größeren Verwässerung in Kauf nehmen müssen - sie planen sich knapp über dem Mehrjahrestief finanzieren zu können. Aufgrund der personellen Problematiken (2 x CEO-Wechsel) ist das Vertrauen in das Management auch verständlich angegrazt. Zudem kommt die schwierige Lage für alle MOz-Developer die auf einer gigantischen low grade bulk tonnage Ressource sitzen. Die enorm hohen Entwicklungskosten des Projekts (siehe CAPEX) macht diesen Unternehmen zunehmend zu schaffen. In diesen schwierigen Zeiten werden sie es sehr schwierig haben, zu einem lukrativen Übernahmeobjekt für einen Major zu werden. Vgl. die Situation an dieser Stelle auch bsp. mit Exeter Resource. Dazu kommen bei ITH diverse Problematiken mit der Metallurgie - die PFS wurde deswegen mE mehrmals verschoben, nun soll direkt die FS angepeilt werden..

International Tower Hill (ITH.to) (THM) delays its Pre-Feas study again
We hear from International Tower Hill (ITH.to) (THM) this morning that the pre-feasibility study expected for its Livengood gold project in WayUpNorth has been delayed again, with the PFS now due in the first half of 2013. It may in fact be better to say "delayed again and again and again", because as we laid out in this post back in March, ITH has a pretty consistent record of delaying this PFS. In a nutshell..

Woulfe Signs Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for KRW120 Billion (US$104 million) Debt Financing With Korea's Largest Bank
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - July 12, 2012) - Woulfe Mining Corp. ("Woulfe" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:WOF)(OTCQX:WFEMF)(FRANKFURT:OZ4) is pleased to announce Sangdong Project financing is moving forward with an offer from Shinhan bank, the largest commercial bank in Korea. On July 11, 2012, Woulfe and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sangdong Mining Corporation, executed a MoU with Shinhan Bank (lodged on SEDAR) for a 12-year term loan amounting to 120 Billion Korean Won (approx. US$104 Million at the prevailing exchange rate of US$1.00 = KRW1,145) for the development of the Sangdong Tungsten/Molybdenum Project.
Summary terms of the debt facilities are:
12-year KRW110 Billion Senior Debt Facility(KRW55 Billion Tranche A at 5.80% p.a. fixed rate and KRW55 Billion Tranche B at a 3-month "AAA" Bank Bond rate, currently 3.40% p.a., plus 2.30% p.a.) and 5-year KRW10 Billion Working Capital Credit Facility at a 3-month CD currently 3.54% p.a., plus 2.50% p.a.
Brian Wesson, CEO of Woulfe, stated: "The terms offered by Shinhan bank are very competitive at less than 6.0% p.a. inclusive of all costs. The KRW120 Billion debt financing will complement the $70 Million equity (US$35 million for Sangdong and US$35 million for APT refinery) put in place through the strategic deal signed earlier this year. The debt and equity at a subsidiary level will be adequate to develop the Sangdong Project through to production. Additionally, this competitive financing will contribute substantially to the value of the project. The Tetra Tech Inc. Feasibility Report dated 23rd April 2012 assessed the Project NPV and IRR to be US$400.3 million and 46% respectively and this 6% debt will have a substantial positive impact on project NPV and IRR."
The extensive time spent by management over the past year in marketing the company and raising financing is now in its final stages, allowing Woulfe to focus on bringing the mine into production. New mine access development will begin in August 2012. Exploratory production mining is under way having produced over 2,000 tonnes of ore, stockpiled on surface. Production of tungsten metal is scheduled for 2013.

Gute News bei WOF! Mit dem langfristigen Kredit unterstreichen sie ihre nachhaltigen Ambitionen und zeigen, dass sie aufgrund der Projektqualität und das Vertrauen in die Story kapitalintensive Finanzierungen erfolgreich meistern können. Zudem kommt der starke Name hinter dem Kapitalgeber, niemand Geringeres als Südkoreas größte und einflussreichste Bank - das ist ein starkes Vertrauenszeichen und ein wichtiger support für WOF. Ein weiterer ganz wichtiger Punkt: Durch diesen Deal kann WOF ebenfalls erfolgreich die Dilution stark eindämmen. Die Konditionen der Finanzierung sind mE auch passabel.
Nun scheinen sie für die nächsten Entwicklungsschritte ausreichend finanziert zu sein: "The extensive time spent by management over the past year in marketing the company and raising financing is now in its final stages, allowing Woulfe to focus on bringing the mine into production.
