Hallo Leute,
heute will ich mal den Goldpoduzenten Alamos Gold vorstellen. Diese Aktien wird bisher in Deutschland von niemanden erwähnt und es gibt keinerlei Analysen und deshalb habe ich mal eine kleine Zusammenstellung gemacht über diese fast unbekannte Aktie!
Share Capital
(as of January 31, 2007)
Issued and Outstanding | 93,724,513 common shares |
Fully Diluted | 99,178,277 shares |
http://www.alamosgold.com/Investors/...ance/ShareCapital/default.aspx
Die Marktkapiatlieserung ist dann bei einem Kurs von 6,17 Euro circa 578,3 Mio Euro!
Die Firma hat nachgewiesene Goldreserven von 19,7 Mio. Unzen AU (Gold) und 697 Mio Ag (Silber). Quelle
http://www.alamosgold.com/Theme/AlamosGold/files/OCTOB-2006-Final.pdf
Das bedeutet das die Unze unabgebauten Gold mit 29,35 Euro bewertet wird.
Die Bilanz im 3. Quartal zum 30. September 2006 hat einen Gewinn von 1 cent ausgewiesen und damit wurde zum erstenmal ein Gewinn gemacht! Laut Angaben der firma werden die Produktionkosten weiter leicht fallen und die Produktion im diesem Jahr von 110 000 Unzen auf 200 000 Unzen hochgefahren! Wie wir alle wissen steigt seit Wochen der Goldpreis und was das heißt kann sich jeder selber ausdencken bei dieser fast unbekannten Aktie.
Ich selber bin heute nach eingehender recherche eingestiegen und habe mir vorher noch nachfolgende Bilanz angeschaut!

Operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the
Feasibility Study are presented below:
--------------------------------------------------
Cost per tonne summary YTD 2006 Feasibility Study
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Mining cost per tonne $1.12 $0.95
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Waste-to-ore ratio 2.26 1.42
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Mining cost per tonne of ore $3.66 $2.44
--------------------------------------------------
Crushing cost per tonne of ore $1.84 $1.15
--------------------------------------------------
Processing cost per tonne of ore $1.86 $1.98
--------------------------------------------------
General & Administration cost per tonne of ore $1.10 $0.97
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Total cost per tonne of ore $8.46 $6.54
--------------------------------------------------
In the table above, actual cost per tonne of ore for processing and administration was consistent with Feasibility Study levels. Most cost areas were higher than Feasibility Study levels due to higher input costs for energy related consumables. Processing costs were lower due to lower than expected consumption of cyanide and lime. Crushing cost per tonne of ore is expected to decrease in 2007 as the volume of crushed tonnes increases. The overall waste-to-ore ratio of the Estrella deposit has not changed from the Feasibility Study but 2006 and 2007 have higher waste-to-ore ratios to support higher crushing rates.
Operations Summary
Ongoing reviews of operating procedures have led to certain changes which the Company is in the process of implementing. In order to achieve higher gold production in 2007, the Company is focused on increasing the throughput of ore through the crusher at the optimal discharge size of 80% passing 3/8". During 2006, the crusher configuration produced a product which was coarser than contemplated in the Feasibility Study, and the crushing operation was unable to consistently achieve its targeted rate of 15,000 crushed tonnes per day. To remedy this, the Company will install a 4th stage of crushing between the existing primary and secondary crushers. This is also expected to provide operations with additional capacity to increase throughput. This new configuration is anticipated to be operational in the second quarter of 2007.
In addition, the Company's continuous improvement efforts have identified certain procedural changes in ore handling and leach pad protocol, which are expected to benefit future gold production. Specifically, the Company is in the process of increasing leach pad lift heights, increasing cyanide concentrations in the leach solution and various other procedures designed to optimize recoveries. The Company is also introducing a mechanized stacking system in the first quarter of 2007.
With these operational enhancements, the Company expects to see improvements in crushed ore size and throughput, higher gold recoveries and a corresponding increase in gold production in 2007.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 29, 2007 -- Alamos Gold Inc. (Toronto:AGI.TO - News) ("Alamos" or the "Company") reports an increase in mineral reserves at its Mulatos deposit, in Sonora, Mexico. The updated mineral reserve estimate was calculated as at December 31, 2006 using a price of $500 per ounce of gold, and indicates proven and probable reserves of 2.1 million contained ounces. This reflects a 7% increase from the mineral reserves for the Estrella Pit reported in the Company's Feasibility Study dated June 17, 2004 of 1.92 million contained ounces. The updated mineral reserve estimate incorporates the Estrella, Mina Vieja, El Salto and Escondida areas.
The Company's exploration and development program has been successful in adding reserves to areas outside of the existing Estrella Pit. The Company anticipates growing its reserve base in 2007 and 2008 as the results of drilling at the Gap and El Victor areas are incorporated into its global mineral reserve.
Proven and probable reserves are summarized in the table below as at
December 31, 2006:

ADVERTISEMENT
Mineral reserves in the Estrella Pit were 31,900,000 tonnes at a grade of 1.64 g/t Au for total contained ounces of 1,682,000 as at December 31, 2006. The 12% reduction in contained ounces between the 2004 Feasibility Study and as at December 31, 2006 is the result of a combination of the following factors:
- A total of 268,000 contained ounces was mined from the Estrella Pit in the period from the start of mining operations in the third quarter of 2005 to December 31, 2006.
- Mineral reserves were estimated at December 31, 2006 using a gold price of US$500 per ounce as compared to US$350 per ounce used in calculating the reserves reported in the 2004 Feasibility Study.
- Mine operating costs and royalty costs used in the calculation of mineral reserves as at December 31, 2006 have increased from the assumptions used in the 2004 Feasibility Study estimate.
Escondida
Mineral reserves in the Escondida project area contributed 232,000 contained ounces to the mineral reserve estimate as at December 31, 2006. The majority of these ounces (141,000) are derived from the Escondida High Grade Zone, where the Company believes that the grade used in the reserve calculation understates the actual grade due to coarse gold sampling issues. Further sampling tests and analysis are currently underway in order to report a more accurate grade for this area.
El Salto - Mina Vieja
The El Salto - Mina Vieja area contributed 142,000 contained ounces to the mineral reserve estimate as at December 31, 2006. The 2004 Feasibility Study reserve estimate did not include the El Salto-Mina Vieja area.
Outlook
The Company is expected to announce revised resources at the El Victor project area in the second half of 2007 and is currently drilling the Gap area. The Company anticipates significant future increases in mineral reserves and resources from the El Victor, Gap and San Carlos areas within the Mulatos Deposit.
Qualified Person(s)
The independent Qualified Person for the NI 43-101 compliant reserve estimate is Herb Welhener, Vice President of Independent Mining Consultants of Tucson, Arizona working in conjunction with the Company's exploration and operations staff.
Keith Blair, Manager of Applied Geoscience LLC of Reno, Nevada, prepared the resource report combining the Escondida deposit resource models and previously released 2004 Feasibility Study and El Salto/Mina Vieja resource models prepared by Mike Lechner, President of Resource Modeling Inc. of Tucson, Arizona. Both Mr. Blair and Mr. Lechner are recognized as Qualified Persons according to the requirements of NI 43-101. Details of the individual resource estimates are provided in previous releases of February 1, 2007, November 7, 2005, and January 21, 2004. Resource models were generated for the original deposit topography, and for the portion of the deposit remaining below pit topography at the end of 2006.
The exploration work in the Escondida, El Salto, Mina Vieja, San Carlos, and El Victor areas was conducted under the direction of Ken Balleweg, P. Geol, BSc. Geological Engineering, M.S. Geology, Alamos' Vice President of Exploration and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Drilling and analytical methods for each individual resource area are outlined in the releases for each area and the 2004 Feasibility Study.
Alamos common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "AGI" and convertible debentures under the symbol "AGI.DB".

Alamos produces 31,100 oz Au, to issue results March 11
2008-01-08 09:41 ET - News Release
Mr. John McCluskey reports
ALAMOS GOLD INC. INCREASES QUARTERLY PRODUCTION BY 43% IN Q4 2007
Alamos Gold Inc.'s gold production for the fourth quarter of 2007 was approximately 31,100 ounces. Gold production in the fourth quarter of 2007 increased 43 per cent over the 21,674 ounces produced in the third quarter, a period in which gold production was adversely affected by record rainfall. The company exceeded its fourth quarter production target of 30,000 ounces of gold by 1,100 ounces. Quarterly production benefited from improved crusher throughput, averaging 13,000 tonnes per day, up 41 per cent from the third quarter 2007 average of 9,200 tonnes per day.
The company also achieved increased gold sales in 2007 of 108,296 ounces, 17,076 ounces or 19 per cent higher than the 91,220 ounces of gold sold in 2006. Unaudited revenue for 2007 was $74-million compared with $54.7-million for 2006, an increase of 35 per cent. The company benefited from both increased gold sales and higher gold prices in 2007 compared with 2006.
GOLD PRODUCTION IN Q3 AND Q4 2007
Q3 October November December Q4
Gold production (ounces) 21,674 9,200 10,050 11,850 31,100
* Fourth quarter production is subject to final refinery settlements.
Strong cash flows from operations combined with the recovery of outstanding tax receivables enabled the company to repay the $7-million balance outstanding on its bank debt in the fourth quarter. The company reports that it recovered approximately $6-million in Mexican value-added tax receivables in the fourth quarter.
The company also announces that certain initiatives which are expected to improve gold recoveries are progressing. The company is currently evaluating the effects of solution pH, solution flow rates and cement agglomeration on gold recoveries. Interim data from column tests at an independent facility indicated that gold recoveries improved when crushed ore was agglomerated with cement. The company will assess all test results and recommendations when the final report is received. A second initiative involves placing ore on the leach pad using a leach pad stacking/conveying system, which is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2008.
Year-end 2007 results
Alamos will report its fourth quarter and year-end 2007 results on Tuesday, March 11, 2008, after market close. The company will host a conference call on Wednesday, March 12, 2008, at 11 a.m. (ET).

Und die Aktie immer noch billig, aber das wird von den meisten nicht gesehen, weil hier immernoch die Verlustvorträge aus den Investionen in der Bilanz ihre Wirkung zeigen. Beim Cashfow werden wir diesmal einen mächtigen Satz sehen und in 3 Jahren rechne ich sogar mit einer Dividende!

Außerdem werden durch den Verlustvortrag und Steuerrückerstattung so nebenbei die Bankschulden auch noch komplett abgebaut.
Wenn man bedenkt das durch starke Regenfälle im 4. Quartal die Produktion noch immer nicht voll ausgelastet war!

(www.Rohstoff-Welt.de / www.GoldSeiten.de) - Die zweitgrößte Schweizer Bank, die Credit Suisse Group, hat ihre Prognosen für Gold erhöht, das berichtet Bloomberg. Aufgrund der erneuten Zinssatzsenkungen, werden die Prognosen bis 2012 nach oben korrigiert, da man von einem weiterhin schwächer werdenden Dollar ausgehen muss. Demzufolge soll Gold in diesem Jahr durchschnittlich 950 $/oz kosten, in früheren Prognosen wurde noch von 700 $/oz gesprochen. Im nächsten Jahr soll das Metall durchschnittlich 1035 $/oz kosten, andere Prognosen gingen anfänglich von 750 $/oz aus.

(1) A non-GAAP measure calculated as cash provided by operating activities
as presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows and adding
back changes in non-cash working capital.
The Company reported record quarterly financial results in the first quarter of 2008. A high realized gold price combined with record gold sales contributed to the Company generating $11.4 million in cash from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital, and $14.8 million ($0.16 per share) after changes in non-cash working capital. The $14.8 million cash provided by operating activities represents a 333% increase over the $3.4 million ($0.04 per share) generated in the first quarter of 2007. Changes in non-cash working capital resulted in a use of cash of $1.5 million in the first three months of 2007 as the Company was investing in its gold inventory and Mexican value added tax receivable balances.
The Company recognized earnings before income taxes of $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $2.0 million in the same period of 2007, an increase of 352%.
The Company recorded earnings of $5.7 million or $0.06 per share. These results were due primarily to a 44% increase in the realized gold price per ounce and a 27% increase in the number of gold ounces sold in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.
Results of Operations
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company reported record gold sales and gold production. Operational improvements implemented in 2007 have significantly benefited mining operations and contributed to higher gold production and reduced operating costs. These factors combined with appreciably higher gold prices, have resulted in the Company's strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2008.
Gold production in the first quarter of 2008 was 33,253 ounces or 33% higher than gold production of 24,940 in the first quarter of 2007. Gold sales in the first quarter of 2008 increased 27% over the comparable period of 2007 to 34,609 ounces. The table below outlines key quarterly production indicators during the first quarters of 2008 and 2007:

The Company achieved significant increases in ore mined and crushed during the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. Throughout 2007, the Company used excess haul truck capacity caused by lower than planned crusher throughput to reorganize the open pit and move additional waste. As a result, mining operations were more efficient in the first quarter of 2008, contributing to a 19% increase in ore mined and a 29% decrease in waste mined, in line with the Company's budget. Also in 2007, the Company commissioned a new crusher which has improved the Company's ability to meet its targeted crusher throughput rates. Average daily crusher throughput of 13,670 in the first quarter of 2008 represented a 19% improvement over the comparable period of 2007. The grade of ore crushed and stacked in the first quarter of 2008 was 35% higher than in the prior year period and above the Company's budgeted grade.
The operational changes made in 2007 have demonstrated measurable improvements in both operating and production statistics, which in turn have contributed to cost efficiencies and lower costs per tonne. The following table compares costs per tonne in the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2007 and the 2007 year:

(6) "Operating cash margin per ounce" is a non-GAAP measure which is
calculated as the difference between the Company's gold sales and
mining and processing and royalty expenses as reported in the Company's
financial statements.
Outlook
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company demonstrated its ability to increase gold production and substantially reduce its cash operating costs compared with the previous quarter. Gold production increased 6% and cash operating costs decreased 22% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.
Improvements that were initiated last year, starting with the expanded crushing circuit, are nearing completion with the commissioning of the conveying and stacking system and expanded and redesigned leach pad. Next, the Company is focused on the completion of the cement agglomeration circuit in the second quarter of 2008, and in the latter half of the year, additional carbon columns will be added in the plant to increase solution processing capacity.
Other capital projects including the warehouse, truck shop, laboratory and camp improvements are substantially complete. The benefits of these projects should start to be realized in the second quarter as the Company's mining operations become more efficient resulting in corresponding reductions in costs.
The Company is forecasting gold sales and gold production of 35,000 ounces in the second quarter of 2008 at a cash operating cost (exclusive of royalties which increase with gold prices), at or below $385 per ounce.
The results of the evaluation of the economics of mining the Escondida project are expected to be received later in 2008, with a production decision expected shortly thereafter. It is expected that the Escondida project would be financed in part through existing cash balances and cash flows from current mining operations. The Company is currently evaluating other financing options, including bank debt financing.
Drilling at La Yaqui is expected to continue in the second quarter, in addition to new Phase 1 drilling at Cerro Pelon.

Cautionary Non-GAAP Statements
The Company believes that investors use certain indicators to assess gold mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. "Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital" is a non-GAAP performance measure which could provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in non-cash working capital to "Cash provided by (used for) operating activities" as presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. "Mining cost per tonne of ore" is a non-GAAP performance measure which could provide an indication of the mining and processing efficiency and effectiveness at the Mine. It is determined by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. "Cost per tonne of ore" is usually affected by operating efficiencies and waste-to-ore ratios in the period. "Cash operating cost per ounce" and "total cash cost per ounce" as used in this analysis are non-GAAP terms typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of "cash operating cost per ounce" as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, "cash operating cost per ounce" reflects the cash operating cost allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of gold sold in the period. "Cash operating cost per ounce" may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, waste-to-ore ratios, grade of ore processed and gold recovery rates in the period. "Total cash cost per ounce" includes "cash operating cost per ounce" plus applicable royalties.

Alamos Gold wird 100% der Anteile an den Goldprojekten Agi Dagi und Kirazli von Fronteer und Teck Resources durch den Kauf verschiedener türkischer Tochtergesellschaften beider Unternehmen erwerben. Alamos zahlt rund 40 Mio. US$ und gibt insgesamt 4 Mio. Aktien an die Verkäufer aus. Zusätzlich zu einer gesetzmäßigen Ausgleichszahlung erhält eine dritte Partei eine 2%ige Nettoschmelzroyaltie für Agi Dagi.
Agi Dagi und Kirazli sind fortgeschrittene Explorationsprojekte im Biga Mineraldistrikt im Nordwesten der Türkei. Der Distrikt beherbergt eine Reihe epithermaler Goldlagerstätten mit hohen Sulfidgehalten sowie angrenzende Porphyr-Kupfer-Gold-Lagerstätten. Beide Projekte liegen in einer Region mit gut ausgebauter Infrastruktur. Eine von Fronteer im Juni 2007 veröffentlichte NI 43-101 Ressourcenschätzung weist Oxidressourcen der Kategorien "gemessen" und "angezeigt" von 1,293 Mio. oz Gold und 8,4 Mio. oz Silber sowie eine abgeleitete Ressource von 702.000 oz Gold und 5,254 Mio. oz Silber bei einem Cut-Off von 0,5 g/t Gold aus.
Auf den drei mineralisierten Zonen wurden 81 Löcher niedergebracht, deren Ergebnisse die Ressource erheblich aufwerten sollten. Alamos geht davon aus, dass mit der Zeit weiteres Potential auf dem Konzessionsgebiet erschlossen werden kann. John A. McCluskey, Präsident und CEO von Alamos, sieht die Türkei als aufstrebenden Goldproduzenten an. Derzeit seien 14 Minen, davon 5 Goldminen, im Betrieb, 4 weitere Goldminen würden derzeit im Land aufgebaut. Beide Projekte verfügen über eine Gesamtressource von mehr als 2 Mio. oz Goldoxid und eine beachtliche Silberressource.

Wie Alamos Gold mitteilte, hat die Mulatos Mine nach einer Reihe von Verbesserungen die volle Leistung erreicht. Desjardin Securities hat die Aktie des Unternehmens erstmalig bewertet und rechnet mit einer Jahresproduktion von 188.000 oz zu Cashkosten von 300 US$/oz.
2012 soll eine neue Mühlenanlage in Betrieb genommen werden und hochgradiges Material verarbeiten. Die Produktion könnte dann um 55.000 oz jährlich erhöht werden. Der Explorationserfolg auf Mulatos bietet ein hohes Entwicklungspotential, laut Desjardin ist jedoch fraglich, wie schnell das abgebaute Material verarbeitet werden kann.
Alamos verhandelt derzeit den Kauf der Goldprojekte Agi Dagi und Kirzali in der Türkei. Bis 2013 könnte hier eine Mine mit einer zweiten Haufenauslaugung mit einer Jahresproduktion von 150.000 oz Gold entstehen. Der Verkäufer sagte, die Projekte beherbergen rund 2,0 Mio. oz Gold in Oxiderz und 1,1 Mio. oz Gold in Sulfiderz plus Silber.
Desjarding empfiehlt, die Alamos Gold Aktie zu halten. Das Kursziel wird auf 13,00 Can$ pro Aktie festgesetzt.

Alamos Gold konnte das vergangenen Geschäftsjahr mit einem weiteren Produktionsrekord abschließen. Mit dem für 2013 anvisierten Produktionsstart der beiden Türkei-Projekte Agi Dagi und Kirazli könnte Alamos in eine neue Liga von Produzenten vorstoßen. RBC Capital Markets sieht sogar großes Neubewertungspotenzial.
Erneut gute Nachrichten gab es zuletzt aus dem Hause Alamos Gold. Das Unternehmen mit Minen in Mexiko und der Türkei meldete für das vierte Quartal 2009 eine Rekordproduktion von 48.000 Unzen Gold bei im Branchenvergleich extrem günstigen Förderkosten von nur 320 Dollar je Unze. Im Gesamtjahr wurden 178.500 Unzen Gold produziert und damit 18 Prozent mehr als 2008. Die gesamten Cash-Betriebskosten je verkaufter Unze betrugen 327 Dollar.
Produktionsstart in Sicht
Zudem legte Alamos Gold eine vorläufige wirtschaftliche Berechnung der beiden Türkei-Projekte Agi Dagi und Kirazli vor. Demnach wird eine jährliche Goldproduktion von 135.000 Unzen zu Cashkosten von 352 Dollar je Unze über eine Produktionszeit von acht Jahren erwartet. Eine vorläufige Machbarkeitsstudie ist für das zweite Quartal 2011 geplant. Die Produktion soll Anfang 2013 anlaufen. Damit dürfte Alamos die 300.000-Unzen-Hürde pro Jahr knacken können. Damit zählt Alamos nach Meinung von RBC Capital Markets zu den Firmen mit dem größten Neubewertungspotenzial. Historisch betrachtete bringe ein derartiger Aufstieg in die nächst höhere Produktionsregion eine deutliche höhere Bewertung mit sich. Auch Raymond James ist von der Aktie überzeugt und stuft Alamos Gold mit "strong buy" ein. Das Kurziel erhöhen die Analysten von 16 auf 18 Kanadische Dollar.
Ein absolutes Goldstück
DER AKTIONÄR rät ebenfalls zum Einstieg bei diesem aussichtsreichen Junior-Goldproduzenten. Das Unternehmen überzeugt mit enormem Produktionspotenzial bei extrem niedrigen Förderkosten. Zudem ist Alamos Gold schuldenfrei und vollkommen ungehedged. Das 12-Monats-Kursziel liegt bei 15 Euro, den Stopp sollte man bei 7,40 Euro setzen.
