Hecla holds hand with Aurizon

Jbay76 — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:55:12 GMT

This catches me off gaurd like that hook you never see coming. But Hecla announces today that it will be aqcuiring Aurizon Mines for CAD$796 million. Sinch once wrote, maybe it was last year, that Hecla had not aqcuired any juniors, unlike Yamana, and a s a result had not progressed in te...

Aurcanna Share Consolidation

Jbay76 — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:08:46 GMT

OK Fools,

So Aurcann wants to consolidate their shares from ~467 million to ~58 million, a one for 8 conversion. If approved on march 28, game on. I can't see why we as shareholders would not wan this to happen. It will reduce dilution, increase shareholder value and brign it out of the penny stock world. Heck Sandstorm did the same thing last year it was favorable for them. The o...

The function of 3X ETF's?

Jbay76 — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:31:52 GMT

I was thinking about getting shares of FAZ sometime this year as I suspect our economy may take a southward dip. I was told by a Fool to not buy such 3x ETF's unless I intended tohold them for a few days otherwise I'll lose mymoney. It got me thinking, "What the heck are these investment vehicles?". So, I was hoping I coudl some of you to chime in and help me understand these 3x ETF's. I figure anything I get he...

Fools,

Impact silver (ISVLF) had a banner year as they call it, I call it just a damn good year, with:

1) Two new mines coming on-stream in Q1 2013 as a result of succes...

GPL vs. BRD

Jbay76 — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:57:15 GMT

I'm in a quandry andhoep you Fools can help me out. I'm stuck between reducing my $/share value in either GPL or BRD, but not both at this time. Reading their Q3 reports, however, does not help me decide. I didn't listen in on their phone conference either :(. Any input out there between who they think is better?

Thanks

Can anyone provide any insight into Rubicon Minerals?

Thanks

Aurcanna continues impressing

*Revenues increased 6% to 11.6 million in Q1, 2012 from 10.9 million in Q1, 2011.

* 186% increase in net income, $2.0 millio...

Turning silver into growth!

Jbay76 — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:32:18 GMT

As their mottos states, Aurcanna is turning silver into growth, as their 2011 report confirms. Here's just a quick synopsis of how good last year was for AUNFF:

- Earnings increased $ 21.6 million from mining operations in 2011, $23.2 million compared to $1.6 million in 2010.

Wow, totaly blown away by this. In fact, I never saw this coming, though maybe I should have since they were neighbors in Mexico, but Endeavor has signed a definitive agreement with AuRico Gold to get 100% interest in the El Cubo silver-gold mine and the

Fools,

On a day when copper is up and Copper Fox is taking a 15% haircut, I dug in to find the source of the matter. Apparently, CPXF will be behind schedule for releasing its resource estimate for the Paramount and Liard zones at Schaft Creek, as you can read

Seriously, I just noticed that Alstry has more recs out of all the MF bloggers. How is that possible? Alstry doesn't even give investment advice anymore, its usually just another post to push his udderworld website. Now, I don't write posts and such for recs', but I find it astonishing that the guy who gives little to no investment advice has the most recs...really?

Hecla's 3Q is nothing to heckle about

Jbay76 — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:04:38 GMT

So, all humor aside, Hecla's 3Q report is spectacular. They truly are the lowest cost silver producer out there, with a cash cost of $0.67/oz silver, net of by-products. Some quick highlights are:

* Sales of $120...

1 Kg/ton silver and counting

Jbay76 — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:41:31 GMT

The latest report from Impact Silver tells it all, 1kg/ton of silver across 5.65m and 1.12kg/ton silver across 2.75 meters at their Oscar project...yowzer.

Hecla's Dazzling Ahead

Jbay76 — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 09:02:54 GMT

Fools,

HL released their 2nd quarter report and it does two things: 1) validates the productivity and prosperirty of America's oldest mining company and; 2) Validates Sinch's analysis, as if he needed more validation :)

Northgate Minerals Pontificates Goodness

Jbay76 — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 09:37:54 GMT

History is spectacular when you look back at how things "fall" into place. Take Northgate Minerals, for example. Sinch had been advocating Northgate for quite some time as a result of the Davidson-Young mine, and while that prompted me to put it on my stock watch list, I was not inclined to get shares UNTIL I read of their aqcuisition of Primero Mining. I though that was a great deal that should provide near-term reve...

Yesteday Rubicon announced a strategic investment by Agnico Eagle in Rubicon, making Agnico a 9.2% institutional investor in RBY. They scored over 21 million shares at C3.23, not bad at all. Aside from the monetary gains and institutio...

RBY just released the results from it's preliminary economic analysis for the F2 project that it owns 100% and the results look pretty good. A quick synopsis here, though you should really click on the link to get the poop on the scoop...

Aurcana Corp Quarterly Report and more...

Jbay76 — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 15:46:56 GMT

First, I have to give thanks to Sinch for my current holidng in this junior silver miner as I would not have foudn them without him. And I have to say I really like this company! Now, as you read this report and the link, bear in mind it is an unaudited fianancial report, so I am not sure how different it would be ifit was audited. Having written that,
