Bin heute nach gründlichen Recherchen richtig dick eingestiegen.
Vor dem Hintergrund der Zinssenkungen sollte der Goldpreis und damit der Gewinn überproportional steigen.

Newmont Sells Non-Core Assets to Focus on Gold

By Jane Louis

St. LOUIS (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Newmont Mining [NYSE:NEM] announced today that it will focus its attention on its “core gold operations” and sell off its royalty assets and other non-core investments to Franco-Nevada Corp. for $1.3 billion.

“We’ve taken a number of strategic positions (to focus on the core gold business) since July when Richard O’Brien become CEO,” Newmont spokesman Omar Jabara told Resource Investor.

Newmont’s goal is to become the “gold company of choice,” he said. “We’re looking to leverage our resources on those core gold operations.”

In order to follow that vision, Denver-based Newmont will sell to Franco-Nevada a number of royalties and investments, including 109 royalty interests in precious metals and base metals properties and more than 100 royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties. The company expects a pre-tax gain from the discontinued operations of about $950 million in the fourth quarter, it said in a statement .

Jabara said Newmont will use the money from the sale to finance its recent C$1.5 billion acquisition of Miramar Mining Corp. [AMEX:MNG; TSX:MAE], majority owners of the Hope Bay project in Nunavut, Canada. Hope Bay is a greenstone belt with three deposits holding total indicated resources of 5.2 million ounces of gold at a grade of 4.51g/t and inferred resources of 5.5 million ounces at a grade of 3.6g/t. Production is expected to begin in the fourth quarter next year.

Last month, Newmont also announced potential plans to team up with Evolving Gold (TSX-V:EVG; FSE:EV7) for exploration projects in Nevada and Cardero Resource Corp. (TSX:CDU; AMEX:CDY) for exploration projects in Argentina.

Jabara would not speculate on any further merger or acquisition activity, but the company is “continuing with a fairly aggressive exploration program,” he said.

As gold prices continued to be bullish, Newmont announced its decision to liquidate some of its portfolio earlier this year in order to refocus its attention on gold.

“As we previously disclosed, we embarked upon a dual-track process to maximize the value of these assets for the benefit of our shareholders, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome,” O’Brien said in the press release. “We remain focused on our core gold operations and intend to reinvest the proceeds to increase gold price leverage for our shareholders.”

Franco-Nevada will fund the acquisition of Newmont’s non-core assets through its initial public offering on the Toronto Stock Exchange next week. The company expects to make approximately C$1.1 billion from the IPO - the Toronto Stock Exchange’s biggest debut this year.

Franco-Nevada was created by former Newmont executives as a resource sector royalty company that will hold stakes in a number of mines and operations.

“Assuming Franco is able to raise the money, we think it’s a good deal for Newmont,” Patrick Chidley, an analyst for Barnard Jacob Mellet Securities, told RI.

He said Newmont will be able to use the money to acquire Miramar and keep debt low on its balance sheet.

Putting All Their Eggs in One Basket?

But is it smart for Newmont to turn their focus entirely on gold?

Gold has been in what some analysts estimate as about a seven-year bull run, but lately the yellow metal has been sputtering. Today alone, gold futures fell $13.20 to $789.10 per ounce. The recent corrections have been enough to grab the attention of the bears, who are beginning to voice their “sell” opinions.

But most analysts remain bullish on gold, predicting averages of $800 or more in 2008 - meaning Newmont could be well-positioned as it focuses solely on gold. Remember, as economist Martin Murenbeeld pointed out at the Denver Gold Forum , the shortest recorded gold bull cycle lasted 10 years in the 1970s - meaning that at seven years, this bull still has room to run.

hallo,

gibt es irgendwelche Gründe für den Abschlag in den letzten zwei Tagen (ca. -5% bis -7%) ich habe keine negativen Nachrichten oder ähnliches in der Richtung gefunden, auch der weiter steigende Goldpreis gibt keinen Grund für den Abschlag bei Newmont …

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures rallied past $735 an ounce in electronic trading late Tuesday to touch their highest level since 1980 following the Federal Reserve's decision to cut the benchmark federal funds rate for the first time in more than four years.
"Following the Fed announcement, December gold moved through resistance at $730 and is now poised to extend its rally toward $790," said Darin Newsom, a senior analyst at DTN.
Gold for December delivery traded as high as $735.50 an ounce in electronic trading by late Tuesday afternoon after the Fed announcement. The contract had closed out the regular New York Mercantile Exchange session at $723.70, down 10 cents.
The June gold futures contract last year climbed as high as $732 in electronic trading.
Tuesday's high above $735 surpassed that level, and was the highest level the Nymex has seen since 1980, according to several analysts.
The record intraday all-time high for a benchmark gold futures contract on the exchange stands at $875 from Jan. 21, 1980, according to a Nymex spokeswoman.
The Federal Open Market Committee cut its benchmark federal funds rate by a half percentage point to 4.75% Tuesday, citing turmoil in financial markets as a threat to economic growth. See full story.
"The 50 basis-point cut by the Federal Reserve affirms their strategy of sacrificing the U.S. dollar to keep the liquidity in the system alive," said Peter Spina, an analyst at GoldSeek.com.
"The decision is another nail in the coffin for the U.S. dollar and will further extend the gold price rally," he said in emailed comments.
In the coming weeks and months, "$800-plus gold is headed our way," he said. "Gold will continue to see a huge influx of investment demand."
The Fed "recognizes that the market is dealing with 'inflation' well and that the market looks decently strong," said Zachary Oxman, a senior trader at Wisdom Financial. "Gold and crude should improve as they are strongly pegged to the economy right now."
Oxman expects gold prices to trade at $750 in the near term.
Overall, the reaction to the Fed decision was "pretty clear and not very surprising," said Jon Nadler, an analyst at Kitco Bullion Dealers -- with the dollar losing ground, gold gaining, and the broader U.S. stock market moving higher.
"There will be more to come, as the adjustment sinks in," he said in emailed comments. "This magnitude rate cut had been factored in -- now we get to digest what may be next."
A bearish bull
But in comments ahead of the Fed decision Tuesday, Ned Schmidt, editor of the Value View Gold Report, said he considers gold as "seriously overbought" as a result of expectations for lower U.S. interest rates and financial concerns in the U.K.
He said a correction to $680-$690 for gold prices was likely after the Fed announcement.
But whatever the Fed does is "good for gold investors," he said in emailed remarks. If rates are cut, it'll confirm monetary will at the Fed and assure a new high for gold by year end, he said.
And if rates are left unchanged, the "housing and mortgage debacle will continue to dominate financial markets," he said. "Gold is the only safe haven in such an environment."
Given all that, Schmidt said $1,400-plus gold prices are "no longer a dream, but a reasonable expectation."
Adding support to gold Tuesday, Gov. Miguel Angel Fernandez Ordonez said the Bank of Spain won't be selling more gold this year. Under the central bank's gold agreement the Spanish central bank had been the largest seller of gold this year, according to reports.
Other metals prices finished Tuesday's regular session higher. December silver rose 2.5 cents to close at $12.925 an ounce and October platinum gained $4.10 to end at $1,306.70 an ounce. December palladium added 35 cents to finish at $335.70 an ounce and December copper edged up 2.8 cents to close at $3.448 a pound.
Gold warehouse inventories rose by 72,941 troy ounces to stand at 7.07 million troy ounces, according to Nymex data as of late Monday. Silver supplies fell by 1.2 million troy ounces to stand at 132.4 million troy ounces, and copper supplies fell 141 short tons to stand at 20,317 short tons.
Indexes end higher
Indexes tracking mining and metals stocks closed higher Tuesday, reflecting gains in metals prices following the Fed move.
