: Barrick Gold reported a profit of $618 million for
the same quarter, despite a 55 percent decline in earnings . The former CEO of Barrick, Aaron Regent, was paid $9.2 million in 2011. According to a study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, 19 of Canada?s 100 highest-paid CEOs work in the mining sector.
Es sieht so aus, als ob es BSX aktuell zu sehr günstigen Kursen zu kaufen gibt. Das Niveau liegt sogar noch tiefer als vor sechs Monaten (erstes "speculative buy"-Rating) bzw. bei der letzten Empfehlung von Canaccord im Dezember 2012.
Die Chancen sind jedoch die gleichen bzw. haben sich inzwischen noch erhöht. Einzig der schwächelnde Goldpreis hat hier zu sinkenden Kursen geführt. Insider kaufen bei BSX weiter zu; und der Goldpreis sollte seine (künstlich erzwungene) Zwischenkonsolidierung bald überwunden haben...

Länderrisiken: Dominikanische Republik giert nach Pueblo Viejo Schatz
Neue Vorfälle in der Dominikanischen Republik. Eine Verschiffung von Goldprodukten aus der umstrittenen Megamine Pueblo Viejo wurde aufgrund von angeblichen, bürokratischen Hürden aufgehalten. Weiterer Vorwand für die tiefgehenden Spannungen vor Ort, die nicht abreißen. Die Dominikanische Regierung versucht die Vereinbarungen um die größte, inländische Minenoperation mit den Anteilseignern und Betreibern, Barrick Gold (NYE.ABX) und Goldcorp (NYE.GG) [60:40 JV], für das Land zu verbessern und u.a. höhere Gewinnanteile herauszuholen. Weiter will die Regierung natürlich auch die Situation für die Locals und Regionals verbessern, deren Interessen unterstützen und die gesamte Situation zunehmend entschärfen..
The True All-In Cost To Mine Gold: Complete 2012 Figures

Over the last few months we have been analyzing and posting the gold industry's true all-in costs for each mined ounce of gold. We have analyzed almost all of the major publicly traded gold producers, with a total production of over 25 million ounces (around 800 tonnes) of gold for 2012. According to the USGS, the world mined an estimated 2700 tonnes of gold in 2012, so the results of this analysis incorporates 30% of total 2012 gold production. Although we have our doubts about the accuracy of the USGS estimate, we believe our numbers represent a large enough portion of mined production to extrapolate as a general figure across the industry..
(shareribs.com) In dieser düsteren Zeit für Rohstoffwerte hilft es ggfs. ab und an, den Blick über den Tellerrand zu werfen, um das Big Picture nicht zu verlieren. Dazu siehe unten ein aktueller Artikel von Rick Mills, der sich erneut mit den übergeordneten Makrotrends in der Rohstoffbranche beschäftigt, die gegenwärtig niemanden zu interessieren scheinen. Insbesondere bei den involvierten Rohstoffunternehmen zieht die Makro-Story bekanntlich ja schon lange nicht mehr..
JPMorgan-Manager: Rohstoffinvestitionen bei schlechter Stimmung und günstiger Bewertung
(shareribs.com) New York 16.05.13 - Neil Gregson, Manager des JPMorgan Global Natural Resources Fund, schrieb in einem Beitrag jüngst über die Bewertungen und die schlechte Stimmung im Rohstoffsektor. Gregson hält das aktuelle Niveau für sehr attraktiv und rät zu antizyklischen Investments..
Also ganz ehrlich. Man kann das kosten argument nicht mehr hören. Egal bei welchem goldförderer ich in den quartalsberichten nachgeschaut habe, habe ich keine all in kosten von 1500 usd gefunden. Woher kommen diese Informationen? Ich habe manchmal das Gefühl, dass egal was diese Firmen kommunizieren, die Redakteure wissen trotzdem besser.
Wenn man mir zeigen könnte wo ich diese 1500 USD finde, wäre ich sehr dankbar!
Differenzierung heißt das Zauberwort bei den all-in Kosten. Es kommt im Wesentlichen darauf an, ob rein die cashwirksamen Kosten zusammen gerechnet werden oder auch bspw. die Expansionscapex, D&A, AfA etc. mit einberechnet werden. Die all-in sustaining costs pro Feinunze Gold liegen bei den großen Goldförderern nun bei 1.000-1.300 USD.

Global mining sector facing ‘crisis of confidence’: Hein Boegman - mining leader for Africa, PwC
HILTON TARRANT: The 10th edition of PwC’s Annual Global Mining Survey, entitled “Mine: A Confidence Crisis” came out today. It paints a bleak picture of a sector facing flat revenues, declining profits and share prices at their lowest levels in years and sometimes decades. Hein Boegman is PwC’s mining leader for Africa. The survey uses financial information for the 2012 financial year. Hein, some of that stretched back into 2011 and, looking at the top 40 mining companies in the world, obviously that includes Anglo American and BHP Billiton. Of local interest, AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields and Impala Platinum are included in that sample of 40 companies. This report paints almost a complete loss of confidence in nearly every aspect of the mining sector.
HEIN BOEGMAN: Thank you first of all for the opportunity, Hilton. If we look back to 2005, when we spoke about the entering of the Dragon, the China interest into the mining industry, then the good times rolling up to 2008, when it got ugly and when “The going gets tough” was our title then, back to the boom and the rebound in the last two or three years, with this growing disconnect. And this year we call it a “confidence crisis” in that the market seems to be valuing companies at a particular level, whereas the industry seems to think that some of the good things that they are doing go unrewarded. And I think that is perhaps where this disconnect comes from..

: "Sunridge Gold is a major takeover target"
"Lawrence Roulston's Resource Opportunities""Sunridge Gold is a major takeover target"
July 2013-2
Company Update Sunridge Gold (SGC-TSXV)
Sunridge, with a feasibility study completed on its Asmara project in Eritrea, is now working toward securing financing for mine development and obtaining the permits needed to develop and operate the mine. They are making good progress on both fronts. Most of the studies have been completed in support of the mining license application. Formal submission is expected imminently. The government is anxious to see the project move forward quickly, meaning that the mining license application will be handled expeditiously and is not expected to delay project development. The state-owned Eritrea National Mining Corporation (ENAMCO) last July agreed to acquire a 30% paid participating interest in the project. Negotiations are continuing with regard to setting a purchase price, which will be on commercial terms. ENAMCO will then contribute 33 percent of the capital expenditures as incurred. The government also holds a 10 percent carried interest, which will apply to the interest of both parties.
Financing efforts are being coordinated by a financial group with considerable success in arranging financing for mining projects. In support of the financing efforts, a leading independent engineering firm is presently reviewing the feasibility study on behalf of potential lenders. There is a high level of interest from lenders, recognizing the very favorable economics of this project and the success enjoyed by Nevsun (NSU-TSX) in developing and operating their Bisha mine in Eritrea. The Asmara feasibility study contemplates a three phase development plan.
The first phase will be to mine the 116,000 tonnes of high-grade ore (15.6% copper, 3 g/t gold and 77 g/t silver) which will be direct shipped to a smelter. Mining that direct shipping ore (DSO) will span about six months and produce more than $100 million of revenue, with only modest operating expense. The capital expense incurred in the DSO will be directly applicable to the main project. At the same time as mining the DSO, mining of the gold oxide ?caps? overlying three of the base metal deposits will begin, with the gold recovered by heap leaching, producing five years of cash flows, again with modest capital expenditures and operating costs. While mining the DSO and the gold caps, the company would develop the main ore bodies and construct the processing facility. Production for the first 1.25 years would come from an enriched ?supergene? zone, generating high levels of cash flow early in the mine life. Mining would be a combination of open pit and underground, using conventional flotation recovery. The capital requirements, net of the cash flow from the DSO ore and the gold heap leach, would be about $350 million. The Asmara projects is well located for mine development, as it is less than an hour drive from the main city in Eritrea and only a couple of hours from the port. The project has good grades, it is easy to mine and it has favorable metallurgy. The government is highly supportive of mining, as demonstrated by the success of the Nevsun project. North American investors may have concerns about investing in Eritrea, but that concern is misplaced. Nevsun successfully developed and is profitably operating its Bisha mine, which involved participation of international financial firms. There are many mining companies that would very much like to develop this project. The biggest concern for shareholders at this time is that Sunridge will receive a takeover offer before investors begin to recognize the value of the large and highly attractive metal deposits that they hold. Any offer would be priced at a premium to the market price at the time of the offer. The share price will almost certainly begin to track higher as investors gain better insights into the nature of this project and as investor sentiment improves toward resources.
