There is more to gold than mere capital appreciation

Gold rush in China could see it sweep past India

With inflation hitting a 2.6 year low and the central bank eager to do more to stimulate the economy. Gold buying is growing in China and its gold producers are getting in on the act

Author: Shivom Seth - Posted: Thursday , 09 Aug 2012 MUMBAI (MINEWEB)  - 

China may have overtaken India as the world's top consumer of gold in the first quarter of 2012, but the country is not resting on its laurels. By buying gold mines, and accumulating the produced gold before it hits the international market, China is able to purchase gold below the spot gold price..

Osisko meistert die schwierige 'ramp-up phase' wieder erfolgreicher. Die Goldproduktion steigt mit knapp über 92.000 Unzen auf ein neues Rekordhoch. Die Mühlen verarbeiten zum ersten Mal mehr wie 38k Tonnen pro Tag - ebenfalls neuer Rekord. Die Produktivität ging aufgrund temporärer Probleme im 2. Quartal zurück, die Kosten pro produzierte Unzen sind von 860 USD auf 1.015 USD gestiegen. Unter dem Strich ein starkes Quartal für Osisko, die auch an der Börse nach dem scharfen Ausverkauf in Q2 wieder Boden gut machen.

",,During the first half of 2012, the Canadian Malartic mine generated a profit of $111.5 million and Osisko generated a net profit of $42.6 million ($0.11 per share).."

Arcus Financing and 2012 Work Program


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 10, 2012) - Arcus Development Group Inc. ("Arcus") (TSX VENTURE:ADG) announces the following:

Private Placement

Arcus will carry out a $100,000 non-brokered private placement of 1,000,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.10 per share, subject to regulatory approval. Proceeds from the placement will be used to fund exploration work at the Touleary VMS property in the Yukon Territory. The proposed $1 million private placement as announced on March 28, 2012 has been terminated.

Dawson Gold Joint Venture

The Touleary property forms part of the Dawson Gold joint venture in which Arcus and ATAC Resources Ltd. ("ATAC") each hold a 50% interest. The joint venture land holdings consist of four separate claim blocks, all located in the White Gold District of the Yukon. Exploration by Arcus over the past three years has resulted in significant advancements at both the Touleary property and the Dan Man property, located immediately north of Kaminak Gold Corp.'s Coffee property. Details of all previous work on the Dawson Gold project are available on the Arcus website (www.arcusdevelopmentgroup.com).

2012 Work Program

The budget for the 2012 work program at the Touleary property will be $100,000 and will be jointly funded by Arcus and ATAC. The focus of the program will be two new areas of significant soil geochemical response identified in the late fall of 2011. The anomalies, referred to as Touleary South A and South B are located 6 and 3.5 km south, respectively, of the Touleary VMS discovery where copper-silver-gold bearing semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization was encountered in all five of the 2011 drill holes.

Touleary South A is defined by strongly coincident lead-zinc responses and lesser coincident copper soil values along an east to northeasterly trend. The anomaly, as defined by the lower threshold in-soil zinc and lead values, is currently 2,000 m long and 200 to 400 m wide. Prospecting and hand trenching within core portions of the anomaly will be conducted in conjunction with additional soil sampling to fully delineate it along strike at both ends.

Touleary South B is best characterized by coincident lead-silver-zinc responses with coincident but weak corresponding copper values. The anomaly is roughly 600 by 600 m in size and appears to be fully delineated.

The lead-zinc-copper in soil responses defining the Touleary South A and B anomalies are significantly elevated in comparison to the geochemical expression over the Touleary VMS discovery. Discrete, positive magnetic (geophysical) features exhibit similar geometries in association with each of the respective geochemical anomalies. The purpose of the 2012 program will be to assess the southern anomalies as potential drill targets. Such drilling would accompany the additional drilling required at the main Touleary VMS discovery area.

"The proposed work program and financing achieve two important objectives," stated Ian Talbot, the Arcus President. The work program allows for the advancement of targets for future drilling while avoiding excessive dilution of existing Arcus shareholder value."

The technical information in this news release has been prepared and approved by William A. Wengzynowski, P. Eng., a director of Arcus and a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

 It's so outrageously simple that few investors can actually do it: buy low and sell high. The manic highs and lows of the market are actually good news for those investors who have mastered the discipline of buying low and waiting, according to Louis James, the senior editor of the International Speculator and Casey Investment Alert. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, James talks about how not to be fooled into timing the market and how he finds value in precious metals by scouring some knock-out jurisdictions like Mexico and China..

König der kritischen Metalle

Kobalt ist ein von den Anlegern noch nicht so besonders beachteter Rohstoff, dennoch oder vielleicht gerade deswegen aber äußerst interessant. Er wird in Anlagen zur Energiespeicherung und daher vor allem in Elektroautos, Windturbinen, Solarzellen, Luftfahrt, Militärtechnologien und wiederaufladbaren Lithium-Ionen-Batterien verwendet..
