1waving Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 With the performance of juniors in the UK of late a prediction from Jim Sinclair for a bit of cheer. The CDNX looks like it also needs a bit of cheer after the last couple of days. Author: Jim Sinclair Dear Friends, There are two subjects of extreme importance today. I sent you an email months ago saying, ?This Is It.? 1. I am now telling you, ?It Is Now.? Gold is preparing for an assault not on $1000, but for a brief penetration of $1200. Violent chopping will occur, then off it goes to $1650. This violent chop we have been living in here and now will resolve itself very soon and the take will be seen by history as having occurred in this last formation HERE AND NOW. 2. Where your juniors are concerned please give equal attention to the fundamentals before you make any decision. When beaten down, as they have been, think about gold at $1200 and $1650 coming sooner than anyone expected. Call the company and respectfully demand to speak to management, not an IR officer. If management is in the country but will not speak to you, put that in the debit column. Allow time for a call back as many other investor may be doing the same thing. The questions are simple. Property, finances and costs are the subjects you approach. As an example, a high cost mining company in Ghana just experienced an increased production cost per ounce of gold as a byproduct of increased electrical costs in the country. Before you push the panic button the question to the company is ?What are your total costs per ounce, not cash cost?? Once you have that answer think about gold at $1650. I will discuss the ?why? of all this on www.JSMineset.com this evening. Respectfully yours, Jim __________________ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakachu Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thoughts About the Bear Market in the Junior Sector http://www.safehaven.com/article-10729.htm For several months now, junior resource stocks have been in a highly depressed state. Many juniors are now testing their 2-3 year lows despite the commodity bull market raging strong. As stock prices remain depressed, financial positions of these junior exploration, development and production companies are deteriorating. If I was a bit more clever I'd quote bits and highlight the important stuff with red text, but never mind It seems to be banging on the same drum as many people here.

1waving Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Looks like CDNX has broken support to the downside. A sad day 2,300 may yet give support looking at the 3 year chart. Just watched an interview with Jim Chanos and a former SEC chairman on Bloomberg talking about the ban on naked shorting, Chanos was quite clear that it was the smaller caps that were attacked by naked shorting and there is always stock available in large caps. Will the naked shorting ban help juniors, we'll see. A few takeovers wouldn't go amiss !! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Still no breakout for Juniors / CDNX I don't think the minor breakdown is a big worry - yet As mentioned in Rubino's note... EXCERPT: Louis James is seinor metals analyst with Casey Research, publisher of several highly-regarded precious metals newsletters and generally one of the best sources of junior miner research. He likes the following: Silvercorp (SVM.TO). “Great company with a huge profit margin and fantastic blue sky, hammered hard now for no reason. Buying now could force the shorts to eat their shorts, driving the share price even higher. Company has tracked silver for years, and we expect it to do so again for years to come.” AuEx (XAU.V). “Great project generator, following the JV model with exemplary success. Has substantial stake in several projects with potential for large gold resources (over 1M oz), with work being paid for with Other People's Money. Top management.” Andina Minerals (ADM.V). “Not cheap, but has a genuine monster gold deposit in hand, and it's getting bigger. Excellent infrastructure advantages, new resource calculation due out soon.” Claude Cormier, publisher of the OrMetal Report, has almost made me rich once already. Back in 1998 I wrote a column on gold stocks for TheStreet.com that featured his favorite juniors. One of them was Glamis Gold, which looked promising at $1.50. I bought 10,000 shares and when it doubled I sold, feeling pretty smart. Then I watched from the sidelines as it kept on rising, eventually being bought out for around $40. In other words I could have had a seven-year all-expenses-paid vacation by just holding onto that one stock. So Claude has massive cred here at DollarCollapse. His current take: It is not an easy task to give you my favorite gold stocks in this market because there are so many to choose from. The junior market is truly at bargain levels. At the top of my list is Canplats Resources (CPQ.V), an explorer with a new discovery in Mexico not far from Goldcorp's Penasquito mine. I am guessing that they may have found as much as 3 millions ounces of gold plus good quantities of silver, zinc and lead. The deposits are open in most directions and are growing steadily. My second choice, which could really be in first place as well, is Chesapeake Gold (CKG.V), which has a huge open pit deposit in Mexico containing 20 million ounces of gold, 380 millions ounces of silver plus some zinc. They want to maximize the use of conveyers instead of feeding a truck fleet with expensive oil. This could have a major positive implication for costs. In third position is Detour Gold (DGC.TO) which is developing the Detour Lake deposit in Ontario. It just released an update showing 11 millions ounces of gold. The exploration program is proceeding and more gold will be found. We came in late on this one, so it is no longer a huge bargain. But it should eventually be taken over by a senior company. == == BE CAREFUL of Silvercorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 FEEDING ON ITSELF One of the reason that Junior miners are under-pressure: RAB's funds are experiencing some heavy redemptions, and RAB Special situations fund (RSS.L) has sold off with that ... update We are seeing this in the pressure on the stock RAB SPECIAL SITUATIONS COMPANY LIMITED (the "Company") The Directors today announce that the estimated Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share based on the estimated value of the RAB Special Situations Master Fund provided by the Investment Adviser as at 10 July 2008 including income was 111.68 pence.

1waving Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Extracts from one of Jim Sinclair's posts today:-- Dear CIGAs, “US CFTC CHARGES DEFENDANTS WITH 'BANGING THE CLOSING PERIOD' OF OIL MARKET TRADE” Are you totally blind? Today you read a post from Trader Dan concerning chart painting, but you still continue to push the panic button, letting yourself be bamboozled by those short the junior gold shares. This day’s action has all the markings of the MANIPULATION resident in the commodity markets. This gold reaction has no legs. The third try at $1000 stands right in front of us. ------ Today has all the earmarks of a Hail Mary play in the juniors hoping to break the back of investors. Look at the HUI which shows you the “BANGING THE CLOSING PERIOD” of the junior golds. The cheapest gold entities are the bombed out juniors that are real companies not starved of operating finances with viable properties. They will appreciate 1000%. Before you break out your razorblade kit and head for the bath look at the HUI and know gold is going above $1000 very soon. If you do not see what is happening then you are totally BLIND to how you are being bamboozled! _______________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulypaul Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Kinross just took out Aurelian "Kinross Gold Corp. agreed to buy Aurelian Resources Inc. for C$1.2 billion ($1.18 billion), gaining the largest gold deposit in Ecuador, where mining was halted in April pending a new minerals law. Kinross will swap 0.317 share for each one of Aurelian's, the company said today in a statement. That's a 48 percent premium, based on yesterday's closing prices. Toronto-based Aurelian jumped as much as 69 percent on news of the buyout, which also includes Kinross warrants." Cheap buy for them. The big question, who's next?

drbubb Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 On the technical front, their no argument that mining stocks are oversold, with the ARMS Index near record high values, and the Summation Index pushing new all time lows. Unfortunately, there has yet been much evidence of positive divergence on the charts and what base building had been underway seems to have been undermined rather substantially by the break down in large cap stocks over the last two weeks. While the majors are also very oversold, it remains to be seen whether Junior miners will experience a substantial trading bounce in sympathy with the majors should the major establish an important low at these levels.

1waving Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 AIM listed Avocet Mining today announced it has made a significant reduction in it's gold collar hedge position to increase exposure to the spot price. Avocet completed it's buy back of sold call options on Aug 15th over 65,000 ounces of gold with a strike price of $755, a reduction of 34% from it's previous collar hedge position. This means all gold sales will be at spot prices, or $600 dollars if higher, up to at least June 2010. As a junior that shows very strong confidence in itself and that the present dip in gold is a bullish opportunity. They could be pretty much spot on with their timing. .
