Dann will man das Explorations-und Entwicklungsprogramm erweitern, um doe Reserven der San Martin Mine zu ermitteln und gegenbenenfalls zu erhöhen.
Und wenn das alles passiert ist will man eine begrenzte Dividende unter behördlichen Genehmigung ausschütten.
Ich gehe davon aus das vor Mitte 2014 es keine Dividende geben wird und dann wird sie auch nicht als zu hoch ausfallen bei über ca. 165 Mio. Aktien. Wenn da ein Cent raus kommt muss man das als guten Anfang sehen.

________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. -- Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce production results for the second quarter of the fiscal year at its San Martin Mine in Queretaro, Mexico.
The 3 months production, from November, 2011 through January, 2012 saw 78,824 tonnes milled at an average head grade of 2.14 g/t gold and 35 g/t silver resulting in the production of 6,068 gold equivalent ounces. This production level meets the minimum target production of 2,000 equivalent ounces per month.
Second quarter production was the result of operating at an average mill throughput of 857 tons per day and achieving recoveries of 90.3% for gold and 74.2%for silver. These production figures show the improving performance of the mine when compared to the average production data in calendar year 2011which was 813 tons per day and recoveries of 86.6% for gold and 71.8% for silver.
"Production results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011-2012 are particularly good considering the number of holidays associated with Christmas and the New Year ," said Robert Eadie, Chairman of the Company. "We are becoming much more consistent in our production results due to our improving knowledge of the deposit and by the significant investment we have made to capital equipment."

Overall equivalent gold production was 8,900 ounces over the three months ended January 31, 2012, compared to an average of 9,325 per quarter for the previous twelve month period. While ore grade remained comparable to the previous twelve month period, the lower production was due mainly to higher ore grades in the previous quarter along with significantly more concentrate ore purchases in the prior quarter. The mine did increased tonnage through the mill to 79,000 tonnes for the quarter, compared to 75,000 tonnes per quarter average for the twelve months, in order to offset the lower grade. Mine production alone was better at 6,100 ounces for the quarter, compared to an average of 5,925 per quarter for the previous twelve month period, due mainly due to increased production and recovery percentages.

--------------------------------------------------
Revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 were higher at $15,025 compared to 2011 revenues of $9,655 due mainly to higher metal prices and higher metal production of 8,900 ounces compared to 7,900 ounces over the same period in the prior year. Overall revenues were also higher due to the increased supply of purchased concentrates from the suppliers in fiscal 2012. Costs were somewhat higher at an average operating cost of US$640/EqOz for the quarter ended January 31, 2012, compared to an average operating cost of US$548/EqOz in the quarter ended January 31, 2011. Net income for the three months ended January 31, 2012, increased by $2,083 to $3,501 due to the improved operations discussed above. While net income was higher than the previous quarter ended October 31, 2011 of $3,163, the prior quarter results were decreased by the additional $2,877 in financing costs which included realized and unrealized forward sales contracts losses. Net realized and unrealized gain on forward contracts for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 was $81 compared to a net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2011 of ($3,101) and a net gain for the quarter ended January 31, 2011 of $714. The net unrealized gain or loss on forward contracts results solely from the fluctuation in the price of gold from quarter to quarter applied against the remaining open contracts to January 31, 2013.
"The mining operations continue to perform, producing over 2,000 equivalent ounces per month for over a year now and with the current metal prices the Company is consistently reporting positive cash flows and positive income results which, on an undiluted basis, have averaged $0.03 per share per quarter for the past two quarters," said Robert Eadie, President & CEO of the Company.

Title: Starcore cores 18.2 meters grading 14.61 g/t gold and 113 g/t silver over 4.1meter true width in the San Martin footwall vein.
________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. -- Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce results from drilling at its San Martin Mine in Queretaro, Mexico.
The Company has received confirmation on drill results from the newly discovered area 27 or San Martin footwall vein and has commenced production on a part of this structure. Drill holes SM 104 and SM 106 were designed to test an area in the footwall of the San Martin structure on the other side of a fault against which the Huacales zone was apparently offset. This new structure is located within 50 meters of the main haulage ramp and consequently the first exploration/development level quickly reached the target.
Production in May from this area totaled 6145 tons grading 2.06 grams per ton and 16 grams of silver and intersected hole 104. Development has indicated a structure with between 3 and 5 meters of true width which is offset by crosscutting minor faults up to 3 meters. This San Martin footwall vein dips between 30 and 45 degrees to the southeast.
The following table summarizes recent drill results:

* This intersection contained 3 sample intervals which returned results greater than 30 grams per tonne of gold and have not been cut.
The assay results are the average of mine lab results with certified commercial lab results. True widths are based on the dip of the hole and the known or estimated dip of the structure in the mine. Due to the number of faults in this area of the mine there are some additional holes that have no economic values. The two holes are on the same bearing and have tested a vertical distance of 17 meters.
The first intersections in hole 106 is the last remnant ore in the Huacales stope which is immediately below and near the main haulage ramp. Drilling is continuing to define the structure along strike and down dip. An additional level is also currently being developed roughly 20 meters below the level 2 development.
"This new area or footwall vein opens up exciting exploration possibilities for us as the entire San Martin section of the mine above level 4 is open for this structure to continue, potentially 700 meters of strike length." said Robert Eadie, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Company.
David Gunning, P.Eng., a director of the Company and Chief Operating Officer, is the Company's qualified person on the project as required under NI 43-101and has prepared the technical information contained in this press release.

Title: Starcore Reports Third Quarter Earnings of $4.2 Million and $10.8 Million for the Nine Months Ended April 30, 2012
________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. -- Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") has filed the results for the quarter and nine months ended April 30, 2012, for the Company and its mining operations. Over the third quarter ended April 30, 2012, the Company is pleased to report revenues of $14.0 million, earnings from mining operations of $5.0 million and earnings for the period of $4.17 million, which includes a net $1.93 million gain in financing costs due to gains in the Company's gold forward sales contracts. The basic and diluted income per share for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 was $0.03. Over the nine months ended April 30, 2012, the Company reports revenues of $49.4 million, earnings from mining operations of $17.8 million and earnings for the period of $10.8 million, which includes a net $1.95 million loss in financing costs due to net losses in gold forward sales contracts over the period. The basic and diluted income per share for the nine month period ended April 30, 2012 was $0.09 and $0.08, respectively.
The following table is a summary of mine production statistics for the San Martin mine for the three months ended April 30, 2012 as compared to the twelve months ended January 31, 2012:

* Based on actual gold equivalency ratios of 51:1 and 46:1 for three months ended April 30, 2012 and twelve months ended January 31, 2012, respectively .
Overall equivalent gold production was 7,700 ounces over the three months ended April 30, 2012, compared to an average of 9,325 per quarter for the previous twelve month period. While ore grade remained comparable to the previous twelve month period, the lower production was due mainly to significantly more concentrate ore purchases in the prior year. Mine production alone was 5,800 ounces for the quarter, compared to an average of 5,925 per quarter for the previous twelve month period, with the decrease due mainly to production issues in April regarding supplies of chemicals and to required stope development, both of which were subsequently rectified.
The following table contains selected highlights from the Company's unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ending April 30, 2012 and 2011:

(ii) Income (loss) per share - basic $ 0.03 $ (0.01)
(iii) Income (loss) per share - diluted $ 0.03 $ (0.01)
Revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 were slightly higher at $13,989 compared to 2011 revenues of $13,859, despite lower metal production of 7,700 ounces compared to 9,500 ounces produced over the same period in the prior year, due mainly to overall higher metal prices. The majority of the decrease in production was due to much lower purchased concentrate production of 1,900 ounces and revenues of $3,361 in the current quarter compared to the prior year's quarter production of 3,200 ounces and revenues of $4,670. While purchased concentrate deliveries were lower, the Company's profits are only marginally affected as we earn only a small processing fee on these shipments. Net income for the three months ended April 30, 2012, of $4,172, was $5,175 higher than the loss in the comparative period due to the improved metal prices as discussed above and to positive financing costs of $1,927 in the quarter ended April 30, 2012 compared to an expense of $5,759 in the April 30, 2011 quarter. The main component of the financing cost is net realized and unrealized gain on forward contracts which results solely from the fluctuation in the price of gold from quarter to quarter applied against the remaining open contracts to January 31, 2013. The lower gold price at April 30, 2012 of $1,648 as compared to $1,722 at January 31, 2012 resulted in a net gain on the remaining gold forward sales contracts of 10,885 ounces. The Company announced on May 15, 2012 that the balance of the hedge was repurchased by the Company for $9,042, thereby eliminating the future fluctuations of the hedge value on the Company's net income.
"The mining operations continue to perform, producing near 2,000 equivalent ounces per month for over a year now and with the current metal prices the Company is consistently reporting positive cash flows and positive income results which, on an undiluted basis, have averaged $0.03 per share per quarter for the past three quarters in a row. The elimination of the hedge last month will allow the Company to report earnings based solely on mining operations without the fluctuations of the hedge affecting both reported earnings and actual cash flows," said Robert Eadie, Chairman and CEO of the Company.

Title: Starcore Reports Annual Earnings of $14.34 Million
________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. -- Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") has filed the results for the year ended July 31, 2012, for the Company and its mining operations. The Company reports revenues of $57 million, earnings from mining operations of $21.7 million and earnings for the year of $14.34 million, which includes a net $1.33 million loss in financing costs due to net losses in gold forward sales contracts up to May 15th , 2012, when the gold forward sales contracts were repurchased by the Company at a close out price averaging US$1,562 per ounce. The basic and diluted income per share for the year ended July 31, 2012 was $0.11 and $0.10, respectively.
The following table is a summary of mine production statistics for the San Martin mine for the six months ended July 31, 2012 and for the twelve months ended January 31, 2012:

Milled§thousands of tonnes 154 300
Mine Operating Cost per tonne milled US dollars/tonne 54 50
Mine Operating Cost per Equivalent Ounce US dollars/ounces 781 654
* Based on actual gold equivalency ratios of 54:1 and 46:1 for six months ended July 31, 2012 and twelve months ended January 31, 2012, respectively .
Overall equivalent gold production was 12,100 ounces over the six months ended July 31, 2012, compared to an average of 9,325 per quarter for the previous twelve month period. While ore grade remained comparable to the previous twelve month period, the lower production was due mainly to significantly less concentrate ore purchases in the current period as the Company's supplier ceased deliveries in the third quarter. Mine production alone averaged 5,100 ounces per quarter for the two quarters ended July 31, 2012, compared to an average of 5,925 per quarter for the previous twelve month period, due mainly to production issues in the fourth quarter wherein only 4,400 ounces were produced. As a result, operating cost per equivalent ounce increased significantly in the current period to $781. Ore recoveries decreased significantly during the quarter due to ore characteristics and reclaim water quality, which have subsequently been corrected allowing gold recovery to return to near historical levels and, consequently, the operating cost per equivalent ounce will also improve.
The following table contains selected highlights from the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the years ending July 31, 2012 and 2011:

(ii) Earnings (loss) per share - basic $ 0.11 $ (0.05)
(iii) Earnings (loss) per share - diluted $ 0.10 $ (0.05)
Revenues for the year ended July 31, 2012 were much higher at $57.0 million compared to 2011 revenues of $39.5 million due to a combination of higher production, metal prices and purchased concentrate revenue. Sales of metals produced by the milled ore from the mine, along with purchased ore concentrate for the year ended July 31, 2012, approximated 22,069 ounces of gold and 600,385 ounces of silver sold at average prices in the year of US$1,686 and US$34 per ounce, respectively, compared to the year ended July 31, 2011, which approximated 20,002 ounces of gold and 425,414 ounces of silver sold at average prices of US$1,308 per ounce and US$32 per ounce, respectively.
Total earnings for the year ended July 31, 2012, of $14.3 million, was $18.5 million higher than the loss in the comparative year due to the improved metal prices and production, as discussed above, and to high financing costs of $13.2 million in the year ended July 31, 2011 compared to $1.3 million in the July 31, 2012 year. The main component of the financing cost is net loss on forward contracts which results solely from the fluctuation in the price of gold applied against the remaining open contracts. The gold price remained relatively stable during the July 31, 2012 fiscal year, until the forward contracts were repurchased, compared to the July 31, 2011 fiscal year where the gold price fluctuated from US$1,180 to US$1,621 per ounce from the beginning to end of the fiscal year. The Company announced on May 15, 2012 that the balance of the hedge was repurchased by the Company for US$9.0 million, or US$1,562 per ounce, thereby eliminating the effect of future fluctuations of the hedge value on the Company's net income.
"The Company has turned in a very positive year with this report, proving that the San Martin mine is a very profitable and dynamic operation. The elimination of the hedge this quarter allows the Company to report earnings based solely on mining operations without the fluctuations of the hedge affecting both reported earnings and actual cash flows and has given the Company the breathing room to pursue our exploration objectives with a view to finding more reserves and justifying an expansion in mine production," said Robert Eadie, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Company.

Title: Starcore Reports Loss for First Quarter of 2013
________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. -- Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") has filed the results for the first quarter ended October 31, 2012 for the Company and its mining operations. The full version of the Company's Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis can be viewed on the Company's website at www.starcore.com, or SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Three months ended October 31, 2012 First Quarter Highlights:
•§The mine experienced significant metallurgical recovery problems over the last two quarters due to ore characteristics in one of the ore zones and to water quality;
•§Over the current quarter, gold recovery averaged only 69% and at the same time, ore grades were lowered to an average of 2.01 g/t;
•§The mine, however, produced sufficient tonnage, compared to prior periods, to increase production of metal where possible;
•§As a result of the above, the Company only produced 3,900 equivalent ounces ("EqOz") of gold;
•§We have fixed the recovery problems as of mid October and gold recovery has subsequently improved to over 75%;
•§November production is estimated at 1,598 EqOz at a grade of 2.37 g/t of gold and 17 g/t of silver with recoveries of 75% and 55%, respectively, on over 25,300 tonnes of ore;
•§As a result of the above issues, mined ore revenues were only $6.5 million, compared to $10.6 million in mined ore revenues during the comparative prior year period.
•§Mine operating cash costs were $1,073EqOz compared to $548EqOz in the comparative period and $724EqOz for the prior fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, due mainly to lower metal production and to higher mine preparation and exploration costs coupled with generally higher global price increases in consumables used in gold production;
•§Earnings from mining operations were $1.25 million compared to $7.32 million in the comparative prior year period.
•§Other total expenses of $1,597 include financing costs of $427, management fees and salaries of $455 and deferred income tax expense of $311. Included in these expenses are $266 of non-cash share based compensation expense;
•§Loss for the period was $346 compared to earnings of $3.2 million during the comparative prior year period. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.0, compared to $0.03 and $0.02, respectively, in the comparative period in the previous year;
•§Cash flows from operations were $2.0 million, compared to $6.0 million during the comparative prior year period. Cash decreased to $1.7 million at October 31, 2012 after investing $838 in mine development, plant and assets and repaying $2.8 million of the loan;
"The Company has endured a difficult few months of poor mine production due to production issues which have largely been resolved. We expect to return to historical production levels with improved recovery and ore grade over the next few quarters and to improve cash flows so as to pursue our exploration objectives with a view to finding more reserves, as previously stated," said Robert Eadie, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Company.

Die Situation wurde substanziell durch das Auflösen des Hedgings verbessert.
Davon wird man in der Zukunft profitieren.
An den aktuellen Problemen wird gearbeitet und bereits im November gab es Fortschritte.
Der aktuelle Abverkauf suggeriert, dass hier bald die Lichter ausgehen. Das halte ich aber für Blödsinn.
Vor den Zahlen war Starcore mit einem niedrigen KGV von etwa 4 bewertet. Warum das KGV so niedrig war, sieht man jetzt. Da war schon einiges eingepreist.
Nach einem Drittel Kursverlust in drei Tagen dürfte hier wieder eine sehr attraktive Bewertung erreicht sein. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die beschriebenen technischen Probleme nicht gelöst werden können. Das klingt alles machbar.
Eines darf man auch nicht vergessen. Wir reden hier von einem kleinen Quartalsverlust (0,5 Mio), auch begünstigt durch Sonderausgaben und den beschriebenen Problemen.
Title: Production Update for the end of Q2
________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. - Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") announces production results for the second quarter (January 31, 2013) of the fiscal year started August 1, 2012 at its San Martin Mine in Queretaro, Mexico.
The 3 months production saw 78,223 tonnes milled at an average head grade of 2.20 g/t gold and 17 g/t silver resulting in the production of 4,844 gold equivalent ounces. This production represents an increase in production of 948 equivalent ounces from the previous quarter.
Production stabilized during the quarter due to improved mill recoveries that averaged 79.5% for gold during Q2, peaking at 83.5% in January. Silver recovery remained relatively constant at 55% and average silver grades rose to 20 g/t during January.
Q2 and Q3 are historically difficult because of the occurrence of important holidays in Mexico that generally require the milling of surface stockpiles. The creation of these stockpiles helps to stabilize ore grades while also providing an inventory of ore to reduce labour overtime costs.
"We are pleased with our production results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012-2013, which have stabilized and are now within our budgeted numbers. We have seen very positive cash flows from the mine this quarter which will be reflected in our Q2 financial statements." said Robert Eadie, Chairman of the Company.
David Gunning, P.Eng., a director of the Company and Chief Operating Officer, is the Company's qualified person on the project as required under NI 43-101 and has prepared the technical information contained in this press release.

stehen, kann es eigentlich nach dem downgrade aus Q4 2012 und einem Bottom price jetzt nur noch nach oben gehen.
HIERZU auch die folgende Meldung
http://www.starcore.com/s/NewsReleases.asp?ReportID=576527
auch wenn Starcore jetzt nicht die riesigen nachgewiesenen Resourcen vorweisen kann , es wird cash generiert und es wird weiter exploriert werden. Ich denke das wird dem Kurs auf Jahressicht weiter gutes aufwärtspotential geben. Die Fördergrade sollen ja nun auch wieder höher werden. Der Titel wurde im letzten jahr bös abgestraft - wie viele mit potential - hat aber in diesem und den folgenden Jahren beste Aussichten wie ich meine.
Gut , wir haben alle keine Kristallkugel , aber es gibt kein politisches Risiko wie z.B. bei APE, SAC oder so.
Insofern mein Rating : Ich habe zu diesen niedrigen Kursen gekauft und gehe von
einem Kursanstieg in den nächsten Monaten und Jahren aus. Das MM ist Ok und ich traue dem CEO einiges zu.
Es gibt keine Garantien im Leben.
Nicht einmal die Politik kann das.

2015-02-19 12:17 ET - News Release
Mr. Robert Eadie reports
STARCORE CLOSES ACQUISITION OF CRESTON MOLY
Further to its press release of Jan. 23, 2015, Starcore International Mines Ltd. has closed the transaction to acquire all of the shares of Creston Moly Corp. from Deloitte Restructuring Inc., in its capacity as trustee in bankruptcy of Mercator Minerals Ltd., at a purchase price of $2-million.
The closing of the transaction followed the Supreme Court of Canada discharging Creston Moly from bankruptcy, clearing the way for Starcore to continue with the development and further exploration of Creston's properties. Creston Moly was formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercator Minerals, which acquired Creston Moly in 2011 in a cash-and-shares deal valuing Creston Moly at approximately $194-million. Creston Moly is a British Columbia company that owns, through its subsidiaries, a 100-per-cent interest in three molybdenum-copper projects:
The El Creston project in Sonora, Mexico;
The Ajax project in British Columbia;
The Molybrook project in Newfoundland.
The most significant asset in this acquisition was the El Creston project in Sonora, Mexico, which has been advanced to a completed preliminary economic assessment (see news release of Jan. 23, 2015). The result of this study, which was based on higher metals prices, indicated that the El Creston molybdenum-copper deposit had a $561.9-million (U.S.) net present value after tax (using an 8-per-cent discount rate), an internal rate of return (after tax) of 22.3 per cent and a capital cost payback of four years.
The Ajax molybdenum property comprises 11,718 hectares and is located 13 kilometres north of Alice Arm, B.C. The Ajax property, one of North America's largest undeveloped molybdenum deposits occupying a surface area of approximately 600 by 650 metres, is a world-class primary molybdenum property in the advanced stage of exploration.
Creston's Molybrook molybdenum property located on the south coast of Newfoundland is centred 2.5 kilometres from the outport of Grey River less than four kilometres from a deepwater, ice-free navigable fjord. The property hosts a three km long trend in which at least three zones of at surface molybdenum mineralization occur: Molybrook, Wolf and Chimney Pond. To date, almost all exploration has been completed on the Molybrook zone, where a large porphyry molybdenum deposit has been outlined.
"We saw an opportunity to acquire a tremendously undervalued asset in Creston Moly, and we took it," said Robert Eadie, president of Starcore.
We seek Safe Harbor.
