Ist ja ganz schön, das Mux die Freigabe für den Bau der Mine Gallo 2 erhalten hat.

Mein ABER istz allerdings wo will Rob die 150 Mill § hernehmen, wo doch bur noch ca. 33 Mill in der Kasse sind. +


Zumindest geht der Kassenbestand aus der neuesten Presentation von Anfang Januar 2014 hervor. Hier geb ich euch den Link zu dieser Presentation:

McEwen Mining Receives Final Environmental Permit for Constr…

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 21, 2014) - McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE:MUX)(TSX:MUX) is pleased to announce that the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) for the State of Sinaloa, Mexico, has approved the Company's Change of Land Use application for El Gallo 2. This final environmental permit allows for the construction and operation of the proposed mine. El Gallo 2 is projected to produce an average of 95,000 gold eq. ounces per year (5.2 million ounces of silver and 6,100 ounces of gold) at an approximate cash cost of $750 per gold eq. ounce (including all pre-strip and Mexican royalties). All in sustaining costs have been estimated at approximately $800 per gold eq. ounce (including an estimated $5 million per year on exploration). Gold equivalent ounces are calculated by converting silver into gold using a 60:1 exchange ratio.

McEwen Mining and its engineering contractors are conducting on-going studies in order to reduce the estimated capital expenditures associated with El Gallo 2. The Company believes that approximately $20 million in capital costs can be reduced from previous estimates with minimal impact on production by: 1) reducing the number of leach tanks; 2) building a smaller Merrill Crowe process plant / refinery; 3) using modular crushers; and, 4) reducing the number of transformers. To date $10 million of the estimated final construction cost has been spent. With these projected savings and taking into account the funds spent to date, approximately $150 million would be required in order to complete the mine.

"We would like to congratulate our teams in Toronto and Mexico for their dedication and hard work. In addition, McEwen Mining wishes to extend its sincere gratitude and thanks to the SEMARNAT offices in Sinaloa State and Mexico City. This process took 5 months from start to finish and shows what is possible when the public and private sectors work together to achieve a common goal," stated Rob McEwen , Chairman and Chief Owner and Ian Ball , President.

A final decision to proceed with the construction of El Gallo 2 has not been made. The Company plans to complete its cost savings studies and review financing alternatives. Although the Company believes this is an ideal environment to build El Gallo 2 due to the abundance of skilled labour and supplies, any decision to proceed would be based on securing financing on more attractive terms than those currently available. The Company believes receiving the final permit for El Gallo 2 will help facilitate this process. The Company will provide an update during its Q4 financial update, which is scheduled for early March. At December 31, 2013, McEwen had cash and gold/silver bullion totaling $26 million and was debt free.

Two additional permits associated with El Gallo 2 will be submitted in Q1 2014. These permits will not prevent construction from proceeding. One of these permits is to allow for the mining of a satellite deposit, Palmarito, in 2016. The second permit is for a right-of-way for electrical power to connect to the process plant. Construction of the mine could begin with power provided by generators with the option of later connecting to the electrical grid.

Deutsches Gold: Bundesbank verwickelt sich in neue Widerspru…

von Peter Boehringer E-Mail 07.01.14 23:27:59

Ein wichtiger und ganz aktueller Update-Blog zu diesem leidigen Dauerthema der höchst unzureichend geprüften Goldbestände der Bundesbank im Ausland (ebenso wie im Inland!). Der öffentliche Druck nahm nach der hoch verdächtigen BuBa-BILD-Meldung vom 23.12.2013 zur Einschmelzung und Rückholung (man beachte die Reihenfolge) von 37 Tonnen offenbar erheblich zu, so dass die BuBa nun heute am 7.1. (widerwillig und offenbar gereizt, dazu s.u.) eine Anfrage der Wirtschaftswoche öffentlich beantworten musste, warum denn nicht die US-Originalbarren nach Deutschland geliefert wurden – sondern stattdessen erst eingeschmolzen wurde und dann nach Deutschland verbracht. Zur Erinnerung: genau so und mit dieser Ablauf-Reihenfolge stand es (vermutlich von der Zensur übersehen) in der von der Bundesbank am 23.12. per BILD lancierten Meldung - die auch auf explizite Nachfrage des Investigativ-Journalisten Lars Schall nicht dementiert wurde:

„Eine Sicherheitsfirma ließ einen Teil der Goldbarren einschmelzen, transportierte sie [dann] per Flugzeug und Lkw nach Frankfurt.“

Mining's golden boy

Ian Ball, 32, was just promoted to president of McEwen Mining Inc. in aging world of mining.


Bernard Weil/The Toronto Star
While young executives are common in the tech world, 32-year-old Ian Ball, president of McEwen Mining, is a rarity in his industry.

By: Lisa Wright Business Reporter, Published on Tue Dec 31 2013

When Ian Ball was 5, he earned an allowance moving rocks from the lawn of his Bowmanville, Ont., home back onto the gravel driveway for his parents.

It turned out to be quite a training ground.

Lately, the 32 year old has been spotted driving a 100-tonne haul truck at the silver mine he discovered in Mexico, and the Bay St. hotshot makes a nice allowance for his work in this field, too.

But the road from junior rock picker to the top floor of Brookfield Place as the new president of McEwen Mining Inc. took a number of twists and turns — not the least of which is that he never planned on getting into the gritty gold mining game in the first place.

“I was a horrible student. I barely graduated high school,” Ball recalls candidly in an interview, impeccably dressed in a dark grey suit and golden yellow tie with his hair perfectly slicked back.

He’d also been fired from every other job he’s had prior to working for Canadian gold mining legend Rob McEwen in 2004. Of course, he was just a kid then, working the floor at Zellers and Esprit.

Ball notes the problem was that he simply didn’t respect his other bosses. But that would change dramatically when he was working on his commerce degree at Ryerson University and read an article in a business magazine about his future employer.

“Rob’s a genius. I have the utmost respect for him. A lot of this (success) is due to him,” says Ball, who had some luck investing in penny mining stocks after high school on the recommendation of a close family friend.

The future tycoon was fascinated by how McEwen, founder of Goldcorp Inc., recognized the untapped potential of the old Red Lake mine in Northern Ontario and made his fortune turning his business into one of the top gold mining companies in the world.

So Ball finagled an impromptu meeting with the renowned entrepreneur in the lobby of Goldcorp’s former King St. W. office — “I kind of stalked him,” he jokes — and then tracked his presentation schedule until he finally got to hand him his resume plus a study he did on the Toronto firm in his spare time.

Ball landed an interview and the mining magnate — who prides himself on cultivating young talent in the aging industry — offered him a job on the spot. Ball paid his dues doing basic office tasks in investor relations and even a stint underground at Red Lake.

“He literally learned the business from the ground up,” says Michael Melanson, a lawyer at Bennett Jones, who was legal counsel to Goldcorp back then.

“I remember we were trying to get out a press release and he had to figure out how to issue it. It was basically a clerical function, but you could see he had an attitude of willingness and determination,” he says.

No one bats an eye if a 32 year old heads up a tech company, but it’s rare in the mining world, where the average age is 50-plus, notes Melanson, saying it speaks to both Ball’s talent and McEwen’s foresight.

Not long after Ball started at Goldcorp, he found himself flying around the world to mine sites and going to board meetings, basically shadowing his mentor and soaking in as much about the business as he could.

“I learned a lot listening to Rob. I have a high degree of trust with him. I’m very grateful for that.

“And I love mining. I love gold. Mining is something I am passionate about,” he says.

The serious work ethic and can-do attitude wasn’t evident, though, when he was growing up. After high school, he didn’t find much success in Durham College’s business program, where he admits he lacked direction and didn’t put in the effort.

Ball was determined to turn that around when he got to Ryerson, where he buckled down and graduated with the highest grade point average in his class.

“I wasn’t there to party,” Ball says.

“He went from being unmotivated and not knowing where he was going to this driven and goal-oriented person who finished at the top of his class,” says longtime friend Keith Binns, who went to Durham College with Ball.

He jokes that his pal pretty much got his MBA through McEwen.

“I’m not the smartest person, I’m just a hard worker,” Ball explains, noting that he sticks by the motto of being the first one in the office and the last one to leave, typically working 12-hour days.

His boss has no regrets taking on the green go-getter.

“Ian is a very focused, quick study with insights and business judgment well beyond his years. He has brought innovations, hard work, effective teamwork, and clear thinking to his projects,” says McEwen.

When McEwen left Goldcorp in 2005 and launched U.S. Gold Corp. and Lexam Explorations, Ball naturally followed and worked his way up the ladder on the all-important exploration front.

His mentor gave him $3 million to explore in Mexico, and by the time he was just 26, Ball made a significant silver discovery called El Gallo 2, where his youth paid off in the unconventional methods he used to find the precious metal deposit.

First, he motivated local prospectors by giving them stock options and $1,000 bonuses whenever they found metal equal in value on the property — a practice unheard of in an industry set in its ways.

The self-described penny pincher also incorporated cheaper drilling techniques and updated the assay lab so they could get drill results back right away.

“We did things differently in order to make this discovery and there are many opportunities to innovate in mining still,” he says, looking over at the shiny silver rock sample that sits in his office.

“The mining industry is so slow. It’s like having your feet in cement.

“We need to fundamentally change the industry. We have to think differently to expand our profit margins,” he says.

He points to new innovations like electric rather than diesel haul trucks to cut mining costs in half and leave a smaller environmental footprint, and new processing technologies that will produce gold for less.

McEwen also credits his protégé with leading the team that recently built the El Gallo 1 gold-silver mine five miles south of his El Gallo 2 discovery under budget and on schedule — a rarity in mine construction.

“The results speak for themselves, so it was a natural progression to president to accelerate our growth,” notes McEwen.

Indeed, while most miners are cutting back on exploration amid the metals market downturn, McEwen Mining continues to hunt for buried treasure while the rest of the industry sleeps, says Ball.

Overseeing operations in different time zones, the workaholic executive says he can be found analyzing reports and expenses around the clock and negotiating contracts for everything from cyanide to explosives. He doesn’t go out much but makes sure he visits his mom back in Bowmanville for Sunday dinner.

Since McEwen merged his junior mining interests into one company, it has gone from a penny stock to being listed on the New York Stock Exchange with a goal of being in the S&P 500. And it boasts one of the youngest mining executives on the TSX at the helm to boot.

“To grow a company to this size has been quite a ride,” Ball says proudly.
