Neues Interview mit John Kaiser über den Juniorminen-Sektor und neue Finanzierungsmodelle

CATEGORY FEATURED INTERVIEWJOHN KAISERMINERAL EXPLORATION,
In the good old days of Howe Street, venture stock-brokers would act as an intermediary between junior mining companies and investors. This is a somewhat murky ethical practice of the brokers having two masters, both the companies they were helping to get off the ground, and the clients with which they were to serve. Investors tolerated this conflict of interest because they knew what they were getting into, and sometimes, they made a lot of money backing early stage deals.
However, in recent years, large banks have consolidated the brokerage business, now controlling 95% of Canada’s wealth, according to some estimates. The banks do not want their brokers and clients to play in speculative securities like junior miners because of the risks and perceived conflicts of interest. Also, the big banks want to earn a management fee on assets over the long term. Short term transactional business, while excellent in boom years, is not a consistent business model for them.
These are not the only challenges facing the capital formation process for junior miners, according to veteran TSXV analyst John Kaiser. High frequency trading, discount brokerages, and declining commodity prices have all but killed the after-market for shares in junior miners. The result is a system that is collapsing on itself..

Globale Silberminen-Produktion: Anstieg um 3,8% in 2014

Die neusten Zahlen zur Silberminen-Produktion in 2014 sind online:

Global silver production up 3.8% in 2014

According to Metals Focus, global silver production may have peaked last year with the low metals price likely to lead to mine cutbacks and closures.

According to precious metals specialist research consultancy Metals Focus, a company which was primarily formed by former GFMS analysts and marketers following the latter’s acquisition by Thomson Reuters a couple of years ago, global silver output may have peaked in 2014. The consultancy is one of the primary analytical firms involved in researching precious metals supply and demand, and in its latest Precious Metals Weekly newsletter gives us some insight into what it sees happening this year in terms of global silver production..

Via EnergyandGold.com, The mining industry is continually depleting its inventory, which is why it has always been an M&A led business. Junior companies find and develop new deposits and then mid-tiers and majors take them out. This has been the way of the miners for generations.
There are few undeveloped high quality gold projects in the world currently, especially those that offer potential scale and long life. Even fewer of these deposits are high grade.Continental Gold’s Buriticá gold and silver project in Colombia is one of the richest gold deposits in the world, consistently ranked among the top gold development stories in the world by analysts. We had the opportunity to interview CEO Ari Sussman by Skype on Thursday, for an update on the exciting Buriticá project..

NexGen Energy: Weitere Bohrerfolge auf dem Rook I Uranprojekt im Athabasca Basin

Das Winter-Explorationsprogramm bei Uran-Explorer NexGen Energy (TSX-V:NXE) liefert weitere Erfolge. Durch die letzten, positiven Bohrergebnisse kann NexGen die hochgradige Uranzone auf Arrow (Rook I Projekt) um 81m Richtung Südwesten erweitern, was ein starker Fortschritt ist.

Währenddessen wurde das 3. Bohrgerät auf den Uran-Liegenschaften im renommierten Athabasca Basin aktiviert und damit wird der Newsflow in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten hoch bleiben..

NexGen Step-Out Extends AR-14-30 High Grade Mineralization by 81 meters to the Southwest

VANCOUVER , Feb. 17, 2015 /CNW/ - NexGen Energy Ltd. (NXE.V) ("NexGen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce ongoing results from our winter 2015 drilling program from our 100% owned Rook I property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.  Further angled drill testing in two holes along strike to the southwest of high grade mineralization in AR-14-30 (46.0 m of 10.32% from 520.0 m) have encountered significant dense accumulations of semi-massive to massive pitchblende mineralization with associated off-scale radioactivity from >10,000 to 60,000 cps. 
Highlights:
Arrow Zone
  • Angled drill hole AR-15-37 intersected 76.0 m total composite mineralization including 9.35 moff-scale radioactivity (>10,000) within a 264.5 m section (405.0 to 669.5 m); 
  • Angled drill hole AR-15-38 intersected 82.35 m total composite mineralization including 4.5 moff-scale radioactivity (>10,000 cps) within a 247.5 m section (474.0 to 721.5 m).  AR-15-38 has successfully extended the intensive high grade mineralization intersected in AR-14-30 to 81 msouthwest along strike (within the previously established 515 m strike length of the Arrow zone);
Radon Target (400 meters along strike to north east of Arrow)
  • The 3rd rig has commenced drilling at this high priority area where a clustered radon anomaly, optimally situated along the southeast dipping VTEM conductor, is projected to reach the unconformity. See Figure 4.
At Arrow, a total of 4,531.9 m have been drilled this winter as of February 8 th, 2015.  Drill hole locations are shown in Figure 1, and a long-section illustrating the mineralized intersections is shown in Figure 2.  Drill hole details and scintillometer (handheld RS-120) results are summarized in Table 1.
Garrett Ainsworth , NexGen's Vice-President, Exploration and Development, commented "This significant 81 m step-out to the southwest of AR-14-30 into continuous high grade mineralization with AR-15-38 represents a substantial step towards successfully executing our goal of building a significant resource at Arrow efficiently."
Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer commented, "The strategy of aggressive step-out drilling has delivered yet again, significantly expanding this particular high-grade zone of Arrow. The technical team continues to demonstrate its understanding and confidence in the mineralized system at Arrow with close to a 100% hit rate. The commencement of drilling the radon-in-water anomalies, 400 meters along strike to the north east of Arrow and in parallel to the development of Arrow is very exciting for the Company and its shareholders.."
