Gold Oversold but Trend Improving

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:49 PM on Monday, July 15th, 2013

The paper market can control the price of gold for the short term, but over the long term supply and demand moves the market.

I’ve seen this movie before, when the market whether in a bullish rally or bearish correction over does it in either direction. Usually you can find the culprit of these moves to the extremes in the paper market, with the crowd of paper traders piling into a trend.

But you can always tell it is overdone on the downside when the price gets close to the average cost of producing gold, which is where we are now.

I can see lots of evidence in the supply chain that suggests the price is overdone on the downside, at average costs of production, mining head grades dropping, less exploration, not enough new discoveries and new development to replace what is mined every year.

There is also evidence in the technical indicators that the pullback in the price of gold is finished and the trend is entering a more bullish trend. We hit the bottom at $1200, it bounced off that and the next pullback didn’t test that low. It looks like we are now in an improving trend and I expect to see us continue to have higher lows and higher highs.

The market got to the extreme on the downside, and the high quality gold stocks got decimated. Gold in the ground is tremendously cheap right now.

High quality gold stocks are a contrary investors dream.

Producing Gold and Silver In Mexico, Santo Mining Featured in CEO Interview

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:24 PM on Wednesday, July 10th, 2013

  • Three claims next to Barrick Gold in the mineral rich Dominican Republic
  • Charles claim 1 mile from Goldquest’s 2012 monster gold discovery
  • Company to start producing gold and silver in Mexico

Alain French President and CEO of Santo Mining Corporation featured on AGORACOM CEO Interview.

NEW GOLD AND SILVER MINING DEAL ANNOUNCED IN MEXICO

  • Entered into a definitive long-term license agreement to develop and mine its three metallic concessions located at Ocampo, Coahuila, Mexico
  • Inferred resource tonneage: 3M mt at 3.17 g/t gold and 57.3 g/t silver
  • Inferred resource ounces: 306K oz gold and 5.5 M oz silver
  • Open-pit mining with truck access to highway
  • Impressive grades up to 8.581 g/t Gold and 148.1 g/t Silver
  • Most entitlements are in place including the environmental permit.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC OPERATIONS

To give a sense of the scale of the opportunity, consider the following:

  • Pueblo Viejo gold-silver deposit (Barrick/ Goldcorp JV), estimated to contain 23.7 million ounces of gold. There has been documented mining activity here going back to the Spaniards in 1505. Sulphide mining operations here produce more than 450 ounces of gold and 1,800 ounces of silver every day.
  • Falcondo ferronickel mine, which can produce 29,000 tons of nickel each year.
  • Perilya’s Cerro de Maimón copper-gold mine, which constitutes a 6 million ton open-pit copper/gold reserve.

$16 Million Equity Enhancement Program Underway

  • Program allows, but does not obligate, the Company to issue and sell up to $16 million of shares of common stock to the Investor Hanover Holdings NY from time to time over the 36-month period

Charles Claim

This highly prospective claim is located above San Juan in western Dominican Republic and planted in the heart of the mineral rich “Tireo Formation.”

  • Charles Claim borders Goldquest’s renowned La Escandalosa claim where in 2012 three bonanza drill intercepts were reported as being the largest gold discovery in the Dominican Republic in 20 years.
  • The Company continues its positive growth, adding yet another quality claim to its portfolio of exploration concession applications and its focus on near-term gold production opportunities.
  • Santo Mining finalizing due diligence on remaining four claims that immediately wrap around Goldquest.
  • Exploration team yielded a series of results up to 10.79 g/t Silver and +1.0% Copper

Richard Claim

The company recently announced that it has signed a definite agreement to acquire 100% of the Richard gold exploration application.

  • located just 200 meters southeast of Barrick gold in the mineral-rich “Los Ranchos” geological formation of the Hispaniola Gold-Copper Back-Arc.
  • This definitive agreement is part of the Company’s aggressive expansion of its portfolio of precious and base metal exploration concession applications assets in its quest for near-term production opportunities.
  • Shallow Diamond Core Drilling Targets to sample the underlying bed rock awaiting permitting

During the last five months Santo Mining’s field exploration team led by Elpidio Moronta conducted due diligence on the Richard Claim consisting of property wide reconnaissance surveys, including stream sediment sampling and surface soil geochemistry. Early in 2013 the exploration team sent soil, sediment and rock samples to Acme Laboratories for multi-element trace analysis. The laboratory results have potentially identified two zones of gold, silver, and copper anomalies. The principal gold zone is located in the northwest quadrant of the Richard Claim, approximately 500 meters east of Barrick Gold’s Pueblo Viejo boundary. The exploration team is currently in the field conducting a “detailed” surface soil geochemistry survey and rock sampling to better define a series of shallow drill targets.

Focus Graphite Reports Final Locked Cycle Test Results From Lac Knife

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:45 PM on Tuesday, July 9th, 2013

Focus Graphite Reports Final Locked Cycle Test Results From Lac Knife: Global Concentrate Grade of 96.4% C; 92.5% Flake Recovery and 35% to 58% Yield of Large High-Purity Flakes (+ 80 mesh)

Focus Graphite Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FMS)(OTCQX:FCSMF)(FRANKFURT:FKC) (“Focus” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report that the final Phase II Locked Cycle Test* (LCT) metallurgical results performed at SGS Canada Inc., in Lakefield, Ontario, continue to confirm an average concentrate grade of 96.4% C and a high average flake graphite recovery of 92.5% for its Lac Knife high-grade graphite deposit located near Fermont, Québec.

SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) has completed all six (6) Phase II locked cycle tests (LCTs) on composite core samples comprised of low-grade, semi-massive, and massive graphite mineralization with a head grade ranging between 6.0% C and 25.0% C.

Highlights of these test results are as follows:

The carbon content of graphite concentrates produced from the six (6) composites averaged 96.4% C, including the finest graphite flake concentrate (-200 mesh) produced. This is a 4.4% increase over Phase I LCTs completed in mid-2012.

The average graphite flake recovery for the overall deposit following the final Phase II LCT’s increased to 92.5% which confirms the previous four (4) tests and increases the recovery by 0.3% from the previous results.

The proportion of large flakes (+80 mesh) recovered from the low grade, semi massive, and massive types of mineralization (total: six (6) graphite concentrate samples) ranges between 35% and 58%;

The Phase II LCT program produced consistent results for all of the composite samples that were tested representing the mineralization types, which confirms the suitability of the proposed concentrator flow sheet to process these different types of mineralization within the Lac Knife deposit, namely the low-grade, semi-massive, and massive graphite mineralization;

A series of comminution tests generally characterized the seven (7) composite samples (six (6) mineralization and one (1) waste host rock) that represent the deposit, to require a low consumption of energy per tonne processed (kWhr/t). Further testing will establish this more precisely which will be favourable for the crushing and grinding circuit design and operational costs per tonne;

Detailed chemical analysis of the final concentrates did not identify any impurities that are normally considered deleterious.

In addition, a LCT was completed on a composite sample of the deposit’s host rock grading 1% C. The concentrate grade obtained was also very good at 96%C with a flake graphite recovery of 94.5%. These results suggest that mining dilution would not impact the recovery nor the final concentrate grade and quality in a negative way;

* A locked cycle test is a repetitive batch flotation test conducted to assess concentrator flow sheet design. It is the preferred method for arriving at a metallurgical projection from laboratory testing. The final cycles of the test are designed to simulate a continuous, stable flotation circuit.

“These metallurgical test results were incorporated into the flow sheet design for the pilot plant tests that were completed in early May. The final pilot plant results are now pending and we hope to communicate this soon.” said Dr. Joseph Doninger, Director of Manufacturing and Technology for Focus Graphite.

The purpose of the pilot plant is to confirm the results obtained following the LCT test program and also to produce marketing samples of graphite flake for end user evaluations and generate graphite raw materials for second transformation testing. Pilot plant test results are pending.

Focus President and CEO Gary Economo said: “These latest results continue to confirm that Lac Knife is an exceptional flake graphite deposit. These increased recovery levels are resulting in a very high carbon content for all of the concentrates produced, even for the finest (-200 mesh) graphite flake concentrate which could provide a low cost raw material that can potentially be upgraded further to meet the specification limits of high purity carbon that the lithium-ion battery manufacturers require. This will further our discussions with potential end users for off-take agreements. It supports our focus on the lithium-ion battery market for high technology transportation and energy applications which is an objective of the Quebec Government. This will also allow us to use the much higher-priced large graphite flakes for other high-technology applications.”

All carbon analyses were performed by SGS and are reported as total carbon (C). The analytical methods that were used to determine the metallurgical results on the final concentrates included double loss on ignition analysis (double LOI) and total carbon analysis by Leco. The lower grade tailings products were analyzed by the graphitic carbon method to discount the organic carbon and carbonate carbon in the samples.

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:13 PM on Tuesday, July 9th, 2013

Pacific Potash has acquired a 100% interest in the Amazonas Basin Potash project in Brazil. The Company is planning a late summer exploration program on its claim block which totals 795,824 hectares. The Amazonas Potash Basin is similar in size, scale and geology to Saskatchewan’s potash evaporate deposit, which is the largest and most prolific potash reserve in the world.

Recently appointed as President and CEO of the Company. Mr. Costa is a professional geologist with over 18 years of experience working in Canada and Brazil. Mr. Costa has worked for the Saskatchewan Geological Survey, provided project management in uranium and diamond exploration, and most recently was the chief geologist for Brazil Potash a private company with operations surrounding the majority of Pacific Potash’s Claims.

Amazonas Potash Basin

  • The Brazilian Government plans to reduce Brazil’s reliance on potash imports from 91% to 60% over the next 5 years
  • Soils in Brazil are deficient in potassium and require potash to remain productive
  • The Amazonas potash basin is similar in geology and dimension to the Saskatchewan potash basin in Canada
  • Recently signed non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with CapitalAsia Investment Holdings Group sets out the initial terms and conditions for entering into a formal off-take agreement at such time as Pacific Potash’s Amazonas Potash Property goes into commercial production.

·Two deposits owned by Petrobras—Arari and Fazendinha—are located 20 and 40 km west of the property being optioned by Pacific Potash. These two deposits have reported historic resources as follows*:

Fazendinha – 520 Mt @ 28.8% KCl
Arari – 659 Mt @ 17.7% KCl

——————–

Pacific Potash Corp and Capitalasia Investment Holdings Group Sign M.O.U for Potash Off-Take Agreement

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 19th, 2013 – Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX-V: PP; OTCQX: PPOTF; FSE: P9P, “Pacific Potash”, “the Company”) and CapitalAsia Investment Holdings Group (“CapitalAsia Group”) are pleased to announce  the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum”).  The Memorandum sets out the initial terms and conditions for entering into a formal off-take agreement at such time as Pacific Potash’s Amazonas Potash Property goes into commercial production.

It has been agreed in the Memorandum that if the Amazonas Potash Property is developed into a mine, the parties will enter into a formal off-take agreement pursuant to which Pacific Potash will sell and CapitalAsia Group or a purchaser designated by it will buy up to 1 million tones of potash per year produced from the Amazonas Property at the future world market price for potash.  The off-take agreement will be for the lesser of 20 years or the life of the mine.

Mr. Balbir Johal, Executive Co-Chairman and Director of Pacific Potash stated “This Memorandum of Understanding confirms we have a ready market for any future potash sales from our Amazonas Potash Project in Brazil, and strengthens the ties between our Company and CapitalAsia Group. Both parties believe in the future desirability of developing domestic sources of fertilizer products for the growing Brazilian market as well as, the potential to export a percentage of production to China.  With respect to potash, Brazil imported 7.5 million tones of potash in 2012 accounting for 93% of Brazilian consumption. This agreement symbolizes both parties commitment to fully develop the Amazonas Potash Property as quickly as possible. We are now positioned to have strong funding and support from our strategic partners to find, develop and sell potash.”

CapitalAsia Group commented “China ranks first in the global grain production with the largest population in the world. The improving living standards in the next decades will lead to a higher demand for grain production. The demand for potash will increase dramatically with potash being the basic raw material in agriculture. This agreement of 1 million tones will provide important guarantee for the huge future demand. It also represents a long-term, mutually beneficial strategic partnership between CapitalAsia and Pacific Potash. We are looking forward to working with Pacific Potash to bring the Amazon Potash Project through the various stages of exploration and development.”

                                                                                          SANP: OTCBB

THREE REASONS WHY SANTO MINING?

  1. Three claims next to Barrick Gold in the mineral rich Dominican Republic
  2. Charles claim 1 mile from Goldquest’s 2012 monster gold discovery
  3. Company to start producing gold and silver in Mexico
NEW GOLD AND SILVER MINING DEAL ANNOUNCED IN MEXICO
  • Entered into a definitive long-term license agreement to develop and mine its three metallic concessions located at Ocampo, Coahuila, Mexico
  • Inferred resource tonneage: 3M mt at 3.17 g/t gold and 57.3 g/t silver
  • Inferred resource ounces: 306K oz gold and 5.5 M oz silver
  • Open-pit mining with truck access to highway
  • Impressive grades up to 8.581 g/t Gold and 148.1 g/t Silver
  • Most entitlements are in place including the environmental permit.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC OPERATIONS

To give a sense of the scale of the opportunity, consider the following:

  • Pueblo Viejo gold-silver deposit (Barrick/ Goldcorp JV), estimated to contain 23.7 million ounces of gold. There has been documented mining activity here going back to the Spaniards in 1505. Sulphide mining operations here produce more than 450 ounces of gold and 1,800 ounces of silver every day.
  • Falcondo ferronickel mine, which can produce 29,000 tons of nickel each year.
  • Perilya’s Cerro de Maimón copper-gold mine, which constitutes a 6 million ton open-pit copper/gold reserve.

$16 Million Equity Enhancement Program Underway

  • Program allows, but does not obligate, the Company to issue and sell up to $16 million of shares of common stock to the Investor Hanover Holdings NY from time to time over the 36-month period

Charles Claim

This highly prospective claim is located above San Juan in western Dominican Republic and planted in the heart of the mineral rich “Tireo Formation.”

  • Charles Claim borders Goldquest’s renowned La Escandalosa claim where in 2012 three bonanza drill intercepts were reported as being the largest gold discovery in the Dominican Republic in 20 years.
  • The Company continues its positive growth, adding yet another quality claim to its portfolio of exploration concession applications and its focus on near-term gold production opportunities.
  • Santo Mining finalizing due diligence on remaining four claims that immediately wrap around Goldquest.
  • Exploration team yielded a series of results up to 10.79 g/t Silver and +1.0% Copper


Richard Claim

The company recently announced that it has signed a definite agreement to acquire 100% of the Richard gold exploration application.

  • located just 200 meters southeast of Barrick gold in the mineral-rich “Los Ranchos” geological formation of the Hispaniola Gold-Copper Back-Arc.
  • This definitive agreement is part of the Company’s aggressive expansion of its portfolio of precious and base metal exploration concession applications assets in its quest for near-term production opportunities.
  • Shallow Diamond Core Drilling Targets to sample the underlying bed rock awaiting permitting

During the last five months Santo Mining’s field exploration team led by Elpidio Moronta conducted due diligence on the Richard Claim consisting of property wide reconnaissance surveys, including stream sediment sampling and surface soil geochemistry. Early in 2013 the exploration team sent soil, sediment and rock samples to Acme Laboratories for multi-element trace analysis. The laboratory results have potentially identified two zones of gold, silver, and copper anomalies. The principal gold zone is located in the northwest quadrant of the Richard Claim, approximately 500 meters east of Barrick Gold’s Pueblo Viejo boundary. The exploration team is currently in the field conducting a “detailed” surface soil geochemistry survey and rock sampling to better define a series of shallow drill targets.
