aber...San Gold ist genau das richtige Pferdchen, wenns so weiter geht, sind die 1200% nach meinen Rechnungen in 120 Tagen drin, na ja ein paar Rücksetzer, also 200 Tage, da hat der Sprott gar nicht mal so unrecht mit der Prognose, wenn es so weiter geht.
Gold: Nächstes Ziel – die 2013er-Zwischenhochs!
2. März 2014 | Von Goldfinger | Kategorie: Rohstoffe
Moin zusammen!
heute mal ganz kurz wieder ein Gold-Update. Das glänzende Edelmetall steht gut da. Schauen wir es uns einmal im Chart an:
CH_965515_20140218
Die Marken 1280 und 1300 Dollar haben wir hinter uns gelassen. Das war wichtig, weil damit der Abwärtstrend durchbrochen wurde, der seit Anfang 2013 gültig war. Interessant ist zudem auch der RSI – er sprang in den Bereich „Kaufen“. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher:
Packen wir bei Gold die Zwischenhochs des vergangenen Jahres bei 1361 und auch 1430 Dollar, dann geht es wieder richtig ab, die 1600er-Marke ist dann alles andere als unrealistisch! Daher bleibe ich bei meinem netten Scheinchen, den ich zuletzt immer wieder erwähnt hatte.

Es ist offiziell: Goldpreis wurde durch Banken manipuliert!
Rosa Abrantes-Metz, Professorin an der Stern School of Economics in New York, legte eine neue Studie vor, die gezielt nach Manipulationen des Goldpreises während der Preisfeststellung in London suchte. Besonders interessant ist, dass Frau Abrantes-Metz bereits die Manipulation des LIBOR-Zinssatzes im Jahr 2008 aufdeckte. Daraufhin folgten bisher Strafen in Höhe von sechs Milliarden US-Dollar.
Ungewöhnliche Preisbewegungen!
Die Professorin ist mir ihrem Team auf das Aufdecken von Preismanipulationen an den Märkten spezialisiert und berät unter anderem die Europäische Union. Nach umfangreichen Analysen kam ihr Team zu dem Schluss, dass zwischen 2004 und 2013 merkwürdige Preisbewegungen während der Preisfestsetzung, dem sogenannten London Fixing, stattfanden. Das London Fixing ist ein Referenzpreis der von der London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. veröffentlicht wird. Verantwortlich für die Preisfeststellung sind folgende fünf Banken: Barclays Plc, Deutsche Bank AG, Bank of Nova Scotia, HSBC Holdings Plc und Société Générale SA. Das London Fixing wird von großen Handelshäusern meist als Maßstab für die Abrechnung und den Kauf von Goldpositionen verwendet.
Wie wurde manipuliert?
Obwohl bisher erst wenige Einzelheiten bekannt sind, ist folgendes zu vermuten: Die Goldhändler der Banken haben am Telefon die Preise gemeinsam abgesprochen und festgesetzt. Parallel dazu könnten Derivatepositionen eröffnet worden sein, die in die erwartete Richtung spekulierten. Ein ähnliches Vorgehen wurde bereits beim LIBOR-Skandal entdeckt. Dadurch konnten die Handelshäuser meist relativ risikolose Gewinne in sehr kurzer Zeit einfahren, da die sie wussten, zu welchem Preis die Derivate abgerechnet werden würden. Genauere Details werden sicherlich in den kommenden Wochen ans Licht kommen.
:::
Was bedeutet dies für den Goldpreis?
Ich gehe davon aus, dass gegen die betroffenen Handelshäuser Strafen verhängt werden. Nicht umsonst hat auch die Deutsche Bank Anfang des Jahres angekündigt, dass sie ihr Mandat niederlegen will und nicht mehr Mitglied der preisfestsetzenden Banken für das Gold Fixing sein möchte. Der Goldpreis dürfte sich zukünftig freier bewegen, da die Manipulationen meist auf fallende Kurse abzielten. Dennoch konnte sich Gold während der letzten zehn Jahre sehr gut entwickeln und wird dies auch weiterhin tun.

§
San Gold Corporation (TSX:SGR)(OTCQX:SGRCF) ("San Gold") today announced the closing of the first tranche of a private placement offering of senior secured convertible notes (the "Notes"). At the first closing, San Gold issued US$23,750,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes to institutional subscribers.
The Notes will bear interest with an annual coupon of 11 per cent and represent direct senior secured obligations of San Gold. The Notes have a term of three years, are due at maturity, and are redeemable at a declining premium. Each Note is convertible into common shares of San Gold at the option of the holder at a price of US$0.2545 [currently CDN$0.28] per share at any time while the Notes remain outstanding, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions. The Notes will not be listed for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other exchange. In addition, San Gold entered into financial offtake agreements with each of the subscribers for Notes whereby such subscribers would receive settlement payments based on 40% of the gold production from San Gold's Rice Lake operation for a period of three years.
San Gold anticipates that it will determine whether or not to seek formal approval for the second tranche of the offering in the next few months. The second tranche of the placement for an additional US$36,250,000 principal amount of Notes and US$5,000,000 of Common Shares of San Gold, is subject to various conditions, including regulatory, stock exchange and shareholder approval and San Gold's requirement for additional funds.
The proceeds from the offering will be used to fund continued development of San Gold's mineral properties, in particular the Rice Lake Complex, and for general working capital purposes.
"We are extremely pleased to complete this financing on the heels of a very challenging market period. This placement significantly strengthens the Company's balance sheet. It gives us the confidence to advance capital projects associated with the integration of our Rice Lake and Hinge/007 mines and optimize our mine plan to improve margins across all aspects of the Company," said Ian Berzins, San Gold's President, CEO and Chief Operating Officer.

Aktienmarktkapital floss im Februar endlich wieder zurück in den führenden Gold-ETF GLD, zum ersten Mal seit 14 Monaten! Auch wenn diese Käufe klein waren, handelt es sich um ein wahrhaft bedeutsames Ereignis. Extreme Gold-ETF-Abflüsse waren die Hauptschuldigen hinter den letztjährigen enormen Goldabverkäufen. Ohne den massiven Zufluss dieses zusätzlichen Angebots auf den Weltmärkten wird Gold dank der starken physischen Nachfrage steigen.

Thanks for the forecast for the long-term, Eric. As far as the short-term – within a month or so – what do you foresee?
I think we’ll get to 1,500 very quickly, as in, within the next 60 days. When I talk about 2,000-dollar gold, I am not thinking long-term. We could see a lot of action right now and I think it is a great time for people to increase their bets on gold and silver. We have already a seen a good rise on both, and we have seen a good rise in the stocks here.
We have these events unfolding that are telling us that precious metals should be the go-to. I think in the near-term and the long-term, it looks good. For a long-term forecast – just tell me how much money they are going to print and I will tell you where the price of gold is going to go. We do not know how much money they are going to print, but since the economy is not getting much traction here, there is certainly a lot of money printing down the line.
Who knows where the price of gold will be? It will not be just 2000 dollars.
Eric, again, thank you for your insight. We always appreciate it here at Sprott Money and we look forward to speaking to you again next week.

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - March 20, 2014) - San Gold Corporation (TSX:SGR)(OTCQX:SGRCF) today reported 2013 annual and fourth quarter financial and operating results.
§
During the quarter, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $83.1 million resulting in a net loss of $91.7 million for the quarter and $111.3 million for the year. Excluding the impairment, the net loss was $8.6 million for the quarter and $28.2 million for the year. The reduction in the carrying value of the Company's assets reflects changes in market conditions and lower gold prices.
The Company adopted a more disciplined approach to capital allocation and operational expenditures in 2013 in response to difficult market conditions. Capital expenditures were reduced by $20.9 million with an additional $20 million in reductions expected this year. The Company also reduced cash operating expenditures by $4.7 million in 2013 while achieving record mill throughput of 1,758 tons per day and record mine production of 1,724 tons per day.
"Over the past year, we have taken a number of critical steps toward optimizing the Rice Lake Complex and integrating operations between the Rice Lake and Hinge/007 mines. We have now become a significantly more efficient operation. We have initiated a detailed review of our operations in order to ensure we are well-positioned to take advantage of recent improvements in our cost structure as we shift our focus to the recently discovered high-grade zones at the eastern extent of the Rice Lake mine," said Gestur Kristjansson, San Gold's acting Chief Executive Officer.
Full Year Financial and Operating Highlights

◦Achieved record mill throughput of 1,758 tons per day.
◦Recognized revenue of $106.3 million on gold sales of 75,233 ounces of gold at a realized price of $1,412 per ounce.
◦Generated cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital of $5.6 million.
◦Recognized an operating loss of $0.1 million and net loss of $28.2 million for the year before a non-cash impairment charge of $83.1 million. Including the non-cash impairment, the operating loss was $83.2 million and the net loss was $111.3 million.
◦Recognized total cash costs of $947 per ounce of gold sold.
◦Had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $8.9 million as at December 31, 2013.
◦Completed approximately 208,000 m of exploration and definition diamond drilling.
◦Completed agreements on claims located within the Rice Lake gold belt and northeast of Rainy River that give the Company 100% ownership of select claims while reducing cash commitments associated with prior agreements.

◦Achieved mill throughput of 1,609 tons per day.
◦Recognized revenue of $22.9 million on gold sales of 17,211 ounces at a realized price of $1,332 per ounce.

Review of 2013 Annual and Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Gold sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $106.3 million was 25% lower than revenues of $142.1 million recognized in the previous year. The decrease in gold sales revenue is a result of a 15% decrease in the average realized gold price compared to the prior year and a 12% decrease in the number of ounces sold. Gold sales revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 of $22.9 million was 33% lower than revenues of $34.1 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decrease in gold sales revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 is a result of a 21% decrease in the average realized gold price and a 15% decrease in the number of ounces sold compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.
The Company recorded a non-cash impairment of $83.1 million on December 31, 2013, upon completion of its annual assessment of the value-in-use of its mineral properties.
Total and comprehensive loss was $111.3 million compared to $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Total and comprehensive loss of $91.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 decreased relative to total and comprehensive loss of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge of $83.1 million, total and comprehensive loss was $28.2 million for the year and $8.6 million for the fourth quarter.
Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $83.2 million, representing a significant reduction relative to a loss from operations of $17.9 million in the same period of last year. Loss from operations in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $86.0 million compared to income from operations of $3.0 million in the same period of last year. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge of $83.1 million, operating loss was $0.1 million for the year and $2.9 million for the fourth quarter.
The changes in income resulted primarily from reductions in gold revenue, increased interest expense associated with convertible debentures issued in 2013, and the recognition of the non-cash impairment charge. These changes were partially offset by a $13.2 million decrease in non-cash depletion and amortization, a $3.8 million decrease in share-based compensation expense, and a $5.0 million decrease in the equity loss from an associate company. Depletion expense has decreased due to a lower per ounce depletion charge as a result of reduced mine development capital expenditures and increased reserve and resource base used in calculating the expense. The per ounce depletion charge is expected to decrease further given the reduced carrying value of mineral properties and the anticipated reductions to capital expenditures and upgrades to the Company's resources and reserves to higher confidence categories. For the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not recognize any equity losses from associated companies while it did recognize mark to market losses on portfolio gold company investments.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash working capital decreased to $5.6 million, compared to $42.1 million in 2012. After changes in non-cash working capital, cash flow from operations was $2.0 million in 2013, a substantial reduction compared to $51.1 million in the prior year. Non-cash working capital was a use of cash in 2013 compared to a source of cash in 2012, which is largely attributable to the timing of sales, production and accounts payable.
Subsequent to year end, the Company closed the first tranche of a private placement offering of senior secured convertible notes. At the first closing, the Company issued US$23,750,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes to institutional subscribers. The proceeds from the offering will be used to fund continued development of the Company's mineral properties, in particular the Rice Lake Complex, and for general working capital purposes. This placement significantly strengthens the Company's balance sheet and provides financial flexibility to advance capital projects associated with the integration of our Rice Lake and Hinge/007 mines.
Outlook
2014 will mark another significant step forward in the evolution of the Rice Lake Complex as the Company establishes operational access on 16 Level and completes the integration of the Rice Lake and Hinge/007 mines. This development will also provide definition drilling access in the adjacent L10, 08, 6163 and L13 zones and support the continued exploration of nearby exploration targets identified through the Company's recent geologic structural analysis.
The Company achieved substantial cost efficiencies in 2013, especially in terms of capital and cash operating expenditures. Mining operations will continue in the Hinge, 007 and Rice Lake mines. Capital expenditures are expected to be further reduced and surface drilling will be largely curtailed this year. Underground drilling will be focused on supporting production and upgrading our large mineral resource.
The Company has formed a technical committee to evaluate all aspects of its Rice Lake operations. The intent of this rigorous review is to build on the efficiencies achieved in 2013 and create a clear path to profitability. Operations are continuing as previously planned and any changes to the Company's production, cash cost, and capital expenditure guidance resulting from this review will be disclosed when they become available.
2013 Annual and Fourth Quarter Results Conference Call

About San Gold
San Gold is an established Canadian gold producer, explorer, and developer that owns and operates the Rice Lake Mining Complex near Bissett, Manitoba. San Gold is on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "SGR" and on the OTCQX under the symbol "SGRCF".
This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and associated Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"), which are available from the Company's website (www.sangold.ca), in the "News & Reports" section under "Financial Statements", and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
Cautionary Non-IFRS 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 International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). "Total cash operating costs" as used in this analysis is a non-IFRS term typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company per ounce of gold by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. This non-IFRS term is 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 "total cash operating costs" as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, "total cash operating costs" reflects the per ounce cash costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of gold sold in the period and net royalties. "Total cash operating costs" may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, quantity of ore processed, grade of ore processed, and gold recovery rates.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
No stock exchange, securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the information contained herein. This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding forecast gold production, gold grades, recoveries, cash operating costs, potential mineralization, mineral resources, mineral reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of the Company, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to mining and processing of mined ore, achieving projected recovery rates, anticipated production rates and mine life, operating efficiencies, costs and expenditures, changes in mineral resources and conversion of mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves, and other information that is based on forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.
Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include, among others, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future prices of precious metals, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Other MD&A Requirements and Additional Disclosure and Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent quarterly Management's Analysis and Discussion ("MD&A"). Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics, and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource that is classified as "inferred" or "indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into proven and probable reserves.
Cautionary Note to United States and Other Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources:
This press release uses the terms "Measured", "Indicated", and "Inferred" resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a Mineral Resource is economically or legally mineable.
