Int'l Speculator refreshes Pediment buy

Pediment Exploration Ltd
Shares Issued 40,857,069
Last Close10/9/2008 $0.91

Friday October 10 2008 - In the News

TheInternational Speculator in its Oct. 3, 2008, issue, refreshes its buyof Pediment Exploration Ltd. at $1.09. The newsletter said buy in theJan. 2, 2008, issue, at $2.69, and on July 3, 2008, at $1.55. Aninvestment of $1,000 for each of the two buys is worth $1,098. Withmarkets tanking, Speculator's writer embraces the downturn as an eventpredicted by Casey Research LLC's founder. "The storm we have so longtried to help you prepare for is upon us," the writer, David Galland,declares. As far as Orko is concerned, the stock is a bargain comparedwith the July 3, 2008, buy at $1.54. He says he has been sounding thealarm at least as far back as August, 2005. Indeed, Casey Research'seditor built his career on the theme, with books dating to the early1970s that predict financial collapse. Place your money in gold, whichis "going to the moon" once fiat currencies implode, is still hisanswer. The writer turns to the press releases but does not find muchin the way of talking points, so he reviews Pediment's basics. He notesits focus is exploring for gold in Mexico. Pediment has everything helikes in a company. The problem is a lack of what he calls "strong newsflow" over the next quarter.

Recht hast Du und mir geht es ähnlich.
Zur Zeit sitze ich aber auch ein wenig auf der Lauer. Mein altes Traumziel für einen zweiten Kauf unter 0,75€ habe ich - Gott sei dank - noch nicht genutzt. Inzwischen sehe ich eine größere Korrelation mit dem Goldpreis und daher indirekt mit $/€. Wenn die Effekte durch das Auflösen der Carry-Trades abebben und eine nachhaltige Erholung einsetzt, werde ich möglicherweise aktiv.

Dear Investors:



Robert Moriarty, founder of 321Gold.com highlighted Pediment Exploration (TSXV: PEZ; OTCBB: PEZFF) in a recent interview with Streetwise Reports. In the interview, Bob provides food for thought about the continuing U.S. financial debacle. Unlike many other observers, he foresees a short-term rally in the stock market but paints a bleak longer-term picture.



Bob, and his wife Barbara, launched 321Gold.com as a private website seven years ago when they were convinced gold and silver were at a bottom and wanted to help others understand what they needed to know about investing in resource stocks.



I thought you would be interested in reading Bob’s comments on Pediment Exploration. They are provided below:

Mr. Moriarty’s Comments:

TGR: How about Pediment Exploration Ltd.

BM: Pediment has three or four really good projects. They’ve got a deposit in the Baja that is absolutely a production story and I’ve been beating on Gary (Freeman) to get this damn thing in production. I think they have about $18 or $20 million in cash, so they’re very well cashed-up. They have another deposit up in the Sonora district, a mine and a mill that I think will be getting into production, too.

TGR: Do they also use the JV model?

BM: They do on some of the projects. They have JVs on two or three deposits that we don’t hear that much about but that have significant potential The project down in the Baja they’re doing strictly themselves, and also the project at La Colorada, although they might use contract miners to put it into production.

Edelmetalle Aktuell
21.11.2008 | 7:43 Uhr | Wolfgang Wrzesniok-Roßbach (W.C. Heraeus GmbH)

Gold

Anders als die Platinmetalle, die derzeit fast ausschließlich von der Entwicklung im Automobilbereich abhängen, orientiert sich, was die externen Einflussfaktoren angeht, das Gold oft weiterhin am Kursverlauf des Dollars und am Ölpreis. Nach der Abfassung unseres letzten Berichts fiel der Goldpreis angesichts eines kurzzeitigen Einbruchs des Dollarkurses noch einmal fast auf die Marke von 700,- $ je Unze zurück. Noch am späten Donnerstagabend und den ganzen Freitag über legte das gelbe Metall dann aber massiv zu und erreichte schließlich noch vor dem Wochenende wieder Preise von über 750,- $ je Unze.

Die Hauptursache für diesen rasanten Anstieg dürfte der Kursgewinn des Euros gegenüber dem US-Dollar gewesen sein, der von unter 1,24 auf fast 1,2850 zulegte. Nachdem sich der Devisenkurs dann im Verlauf der neuen Woche im Bereich der Marke von 1,26 einpendelte, reduzierte sich auch die Volatilität beim Goldpreis. Das gelbe Metall schwankte die meiste Zeit der Woche zwischen 730,- $ und 747,- $ je Unze. Eine kurze Ausnahme bildete gestern Nachmittag der schnell wieder gestoppte Ausflug auf das Wochenhoch von 762,- $ je Unze. Auch dieser Ausschlag des Preises hatte seine Ursache in der Entwicklung auf den Devisenmärkten, wo der Dollar gestern nach der Veröffentlichung der neuesten Inflationszahlen aus den USA gegenüber dem Euro innerhalb von nur einer Stunde fast 2 Cents an Wert verlor.

Bis heute Morgen konnte die US-Devise dann aber wieder deutlich zulegen und notiert gegen den Euro im Moment wieder unter der Marke von 1,25. Der Ölpreis ist inzwischen sogar unter die Marke von 52,- $ je Barrel gefallen. Beides hätte sich eigentlich negativ auf das Gold auswirken müssen. Bisher war das ausnahmsweise aber nicht der Fall und das gelbe Metall notiert mit 742 $ je Unze noch vergleichsweise freundlich.

Die Ursache für diese Entwicklung dürfte in der unvermindert andauernden Investmentnachfrage vor dem Hintergrund der globalen Krise der Finanzmärkte liegen. Wie schon seit Monaten stand physisches Gold auch in dieser Woche wieder auf dem Wunschzettel vieler privater, aber auch institutioneller Investoren. Eine Folge davon ist, dass sich die Lieferfristen für Barren nach der kurzen Entspannung in der Vorwoche bereits schon wieder verlängern. Während gegossene Barren (von 250 Gramm bis zu einem Kilo) noch einigermaßen kurze Lieferzeiten haben, muss auf neu bestellte geprägte Barren inzwischen bis nach Neujahr gewartet werden. Angesichts der ohnehin schon rund um die Uhr laufenden Produktion ist kurzfristig mit einer Entspannung nicht zu rechnen.

Aus langen Lieferfristen für Investmentbarren sollte übrigens keinesfalls auf eine allgemeine Goldknappheit geschlossen werden. Es ist vielmehr genügend Rohmaterial vorhanden. Es liegt derzeit allerdings vor allem in der falschen Form (Granalien bzw. 12,5 kg Standardbarren) vor. Als Hürde erweisen sich dabei die begrenzten Produktionskapazitäten für Anlagebarren, die nach über 25 Jahren Desinteresse der Anleger (Münzhersteller haben das gleiche Problem) mit dem plötzlichen Kaufinteresse nicht Schritt halten (können).

Auf das große Kaufinteresse, vor allem auch der Anleger, wies in dieser Woche auch das World Gold Council hin. Im 3. Quartal habe die Nachfrage im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 56% höher bei 382 Tonnen gelegen. Auch aus der Schmuckindustrie wurde über einen Anstieg der Käufe berichtet. Hier fiel das Plus mit 8% allerdings deutlich geringer aus. Um 11% zurückgegangen sei dagegen die industrielle Nachfrage. Für das vierte Quartal erwartet das WGC nun eine ähnliche Entwicklung.

Nicht zu den Investoren in Gold scheint der Iran zu gehören. Der Wirtschaftsminister bestritt jedenfalls jüngst gemachte Kommentare aus dem Umfeld des Präsidenten, die von einer Umwandlung der Devisenreserven Irans in Gold gesprochen hatten. Im April waren Reserven des Iran noch auf 80 Mrd. $ geschätzt worden.


Silber

Hin- und hergerissen zwischen den noch einigermaßen positiven Vorgaben des gelben Metalls einerseits und seiner Rolle als Industriemetall andererseits holte sich das Silber in dieser Woche die Vorgaben für die Preisentwicklung zunächst vor allem beim großen Bruder Gold. So konnte sich das Metall von einem kurzen, aber heftigen Einbruch auf $ 8,85 je Unze kurz vor dem letzten Wochenende rasch wieder erholen. Danach schwankte die Notierung für den Rest der Woche zwischen 9,10 $ und 9,80 $ je Unze. Erst heute kam es dann im Verlauf des Tages zu einem Durchbruch der unteren Seite, mit einem Tiefstkurs von 8,87 $ verfehlte das Metall aber knapp den Tiefstkurs vom vergangenen Freitag. Was die zukünftige Entwicklung angeht, bestehen durchaus noch weitere Risiken, aber ein über 8,40 $ hinausgehender Verlust scheint zumindest kurzfristig unwahrscheinlich zu sein.


Platin

Der kurzzeitige Aufwärtstrend, der sich beim Platin an das Erreichen des letztwöchigen Wochentiefs von 780,- $ je Unze anschloss, war bereits am Montag dieser Woche beendet. Allerdings hatte das Metall zu diesem Zeitpunkt 80,- $ je Unze zugelegt und notierte mit 860,- $ je Unze auch gleich auf dem Wochenhoch. Eine der Hauptursachen für den Kursanstieg dürfte die Hoffnung der Investoren gewesen sein, dass sich die Lage auf den Finanzmärkten nach dem Gipfeltreffen der G20-Staaten am vergangenen Wochenende wieder beruhigen könnte. Hinzu kam, dass der steigende Yen am Montagmorgen das Platin für japanische Anleger verbilligte und diese daraufhin gerne zugriffen. Schon im Laufe des Montags kam es dann allerdings zu einem neuerlichen Preisverfall, nachdem negative Wirtschaftsdaten aus den USA veröffentlicht wurden und der Dollar dessen ungeachtet wieder an Wert zulegen konnte. Der Platinpreis rutschte zunächst wieder auf fast 800,- $ je Unze ab, allerdings nur um anschließend einen neuen Anlauf auf der oberen Seite zu machen.

Die zweite Erholungsphase innerhalb von einer Woche brachte das Metall auf 850,- $ je Unze voran, hier wurde es dann aber u. a. von charttechnisch motivierten Verkäufen gestoppt. In den letzten 24 Stunden sank die Notierung dann erneut und deutlich ab. Die immer unsichereren Aussichten für die amerikanische Automobilindustrie angesichts des Unvermögens der amerikanischen Spitzenpolitiker, sich auf ein Hilfspaket für die großen Drei aus Detroit zu einigen, haben maßgeblich zum Minus der letzten Nacht beigetragen. Dieses war der Auftakt für weitere Verluste und führte heute dann zu einem Wochentief bei 771,- $ je Unze.

In der momentanen Situation kann keine Rede mehr davon sein, dass industrielle Endverbraucher die günstigen Preise noch massenhaft für Kurssicherungsgeschäfte nutzen würden. Dafür scheint im Moment die Unsicherheit über die weitere Entwicklung der jeweiligen Auftragslage einfach zu groß zu sein. Hinzu kommt, dass viele Industrieunternehmen bereits auf dem Weg nach unten zwischen 1.500,- $ und 900,- $ je Unze in erheblichem Maße Kurssicherungsgeschäfte durchgeführt hatten.

Angesichts des jetzt erreichten, im langjährigen Vergleich aber sehr günstigen Preisniveaus, bleiben wir allerdings bei unserer Empfehlung an industrielle Endverbraucher, zwischen 800 $ und 700 $ je nze noch einmal Käufe zu tätigen, um so eine Verbilligung des durchschnittlichen Einstandskurses der Kurssicherungsgeschäfte zu erreichen. Allerdings sollte auch jetzt noch nicht der gesamte voraussichtliche Verbrauch für zukünftige Jahre eingedeckt werden. Immerhin ist in der momentanen Situation der tatsächliche Bedarf nicht sicher, auch kann es beim Platinpreis im Laufe der nächsten Monate noch zu einer spekulativen Übertreibung auf der unteren Seite kommen, bevor sich der Preis dann endgültig stabilisiert.

Dass es zu einer solchen Stabilisierung kommen wird, steht unserer Meinung nach außer Zweifel. Immer mehr Minengesellschaften kündigen eine Anpassung ihrer Förderung an die aktuellen Gegebenheiten an und sorgen so auf mittlere Sicht für eine Verknappung der Metalle und damit für eine Festigung der Preise. In dieser Woche berichtete zum Beispiel der weltweit drittgrößte Platinmetallproduzent, Lonmin, dass man einige Minen, in denen die Produktionskosten besonders hoch liegen, schließen werde. Bei der Vorstellung der jüngsten Geschäftsergebnisse rief der Vorstandsvorsitzende von Lonmin, Ian Farmer, auch die anderen Minengesellschaften dazu auf, die Produktion ebenfalls zu drosseln.

Die Marktbeobachter des englischen Edelmetallsverarbeiters Johnson Matthey sind nicht davon überzeugt, dass es dazu tatsächlich kommen wird. In ihrer in dieser Woche in London veröffentlichten Markteinschätzung zur Lage auf den Platinmetallmärkten sagten die Engländer, dass die Produktion am Kap im aktuellen Jahr zwar um immerhin 5% auf 149 Tonnen gefallen sei, dass sie aber für das kommende Jahr gar kein Minus bei der Produktion in Südafrika erwarten, sondern im Gegenteil sogar eine, wenn auch wohl nur leichte Steigerung.

Was die Nachfrageseite im Jahr 2008 angeht, sieht JM trotz der aktuellen Misere auf den Automärkten eine leichte Steigerung des Gesamtverbrauchs im Automobilbereich voraus. Im Gegensatz dazu sei aber der Absatz an Platinschmuck zurückgegangen. Auch im Investmentbereich habe 2008 die Nachfrage am Ende wieder deutlich nachgelassen. Insgesamt werde der weltweite Absatz deshalb 2,3% im Minus liegen. Dank des oben erwähnten, gleichzeitigen Rückgangs der Neuproduktion könnte es 2008 am Ende auf dem Platinmarkt trotzdem ein Defizit in Höhe von 240.000 Unzen geben.

Was die weitere Preisentwicklung angeht, rechnen die Analysten mit einer Handelsspanne zwischen 700 $ und 1.400 $ je Unze für die kommenden sechs Monate.


Palladium

Die neuesten und eher düsteren Nachrichten aus den USA bezüglich des Hilfspakets für die amerikanische Automobilindustrie haben dafür gesorgt, dass das Palladium nach einer zunächst ruhigen Woche mit Preisen beiderseits der Marke von 210,- $ je Unze in den letzten 24 Stunden einen kräftigen Einbruch hinnehmen musste. Es fiel in der vergangenen Nacht auf einen Tiefstkurs von 180,- $ zurück und damit auf den tiefsten Stand seit fast vier Wochen.

Wenn es nach den Analysten von JM geht, ist dies noch nicht das Ende der Fahnenstange: Sie schließen für die nächsten sechs Monate einen Einbruch auf nur noch 125,- $ je Unze und damit auf ein 12-Jahrestief nicht aus.

Hauptursache sei ein möglicher Absatzeinbruch; ansonsten, so JM, stünden die Vorzeichen gar nicht so schlecht: Die Produktion sei in diesem Jahr sowohl in Südafrika, wie auch in Russland gesunken.

Gleichzeitig werde der Absatz 2008 vor allem dank der Automobil- und der Schmuckindustrie um 3,8 Prozent auf fast 224 Tonnen zunehmen. Die Käufer können dabei nicht länger auf einen ununterbrochenen Zufluss aus staatlichen russischen Vorräten rechnen. So würden die Verkäufe aus dieser Richtung im laufenden Jahr auf nur noch 800.000 Unzen fallen und sich gegenüber dem Jahr 2007 damit fast halbieren.

Für den Fall, dass sich die globale Wirtschaft doch schneller als gedacht erholt, schließt JM eine spätere Rückkehr auf Preise um 300 $ je Unze nicht aus.


Rhodium, Ruthenium, Iridium

Auch das Rhodium konnte sich in den letzten Tagen den negativen Tendenzen auf den internationalen Automärkten nicht verschließen. Immerhin enden fast 90% des überwiegend in Südafrika geförderten Metalls in Autokatalysatoren. Der Preis fiel mangels Nachfrage, aber auch weil es noch immer zu Verkäufen von Inhabern von Pluspositionen kam, um 300,- $ auf nur noch 1.125 $ - 1.325 $ je Unze zurück.

Da half auch nicht, dass JM in seiner Stellungnahme zu den Platinmetallmärkten dem Rhodium für 2008 ein Defizit in Höhe von knapp zwei Tonnen bescheinigte, weil die Produktion in diesem Jahr noch schneller gefallen sei, als die Nachfrage.

Ruthenium musste nur leichte Verluste hinnehmen. Es notiert jetzt bei 135 $ - 185 $, Iridium liegt unverändert bei 380 $ - 430 $ je Unze.

Zeitung: China will Goldreserven verfünffachen
21.11.2008 - 09:35

Wie die Zeitung “Guangzhou Daily” am Mittwoch unter Berufung auf Kreise in Hongkong berichtet, will die chinesische Zentralbank ihre Goldreserven von heute rund 600 auf 4000 Tonnen steigern. Eine offizielle Bestätigung für diese Berichte liegt nicht vor. Die Erhöhung entspricht mehr als eine weltweite Jahresproduktion an Gold (=ca. 2500 Tonnen). Angaben über ein Zeitziel für den Aufbau der Goldreserven wurde nicht gegeben. In der Vergangenheit gab es schon oft Gerüchte, wonach China seine immensen Währungsreserven von fast 2 Milliarden US-Dollar teilweise in Gold diversifizieren könnte. Dass der Großteil der Währungsreserven Chinas in US-Staatsanleihen investiert sind, die praktisch in großen Mengen nur mit starkem Verlust verkäuflich sind, darüber scheint sich in der Mainstream-Presse niemand zu interessieren. Selbst das Konjunkturprogramm, dass China jüngst verabschiedete, wird NICHT aus den Währungsreserven finanziert. Es wird getragen durch Steuereinnahmen Pekings und zu großen Teilen aus Geldern, welche die Bezirksregierungen und Banken bereitstellen sollen. Die Währungsreserven sind praktisch nutzlos, solange kein Weg gefunden wird, die US-Staatsanleihen zu verkaufen. Würde China diese verkaufen, triebe dies die Zinsen der Anleihen in die Höhe und würde zu einer Weltwirtschaftskrise führen. Es würde auch bedeuten, dass die USA, die größten Kunden Chinas, an den Rand des Ruins getrieben würden. Dies kann nicht im Interesse Chinas liegen, das zum großen Teil durch internationale Direktinvestitionen und den Export wächst, beides Größen, die im Zuge einer durch die USA ausgelösten Weltwirtschaftskrise zum Stillstand gelangen würden.

Gold: Rezession verdirbt auch die Stimmung für das Edelmetall
04.12.2008 - 21:54

New York (BoerseGo.de) - Das Gold schien heute ebenfalls unter den Konjunktursorgen zu leiden. Zumindest die Schmucknachfrage dürfte von der Rezession gebremst werden. Der Gold-Kontrakt für Dezember verlor heute an der New York Mercantile Exchange 4,80 Dollar auf 765,70 Dollar. Nachbörslich pendelte das Edelmetall auf 766,15 Dollar.

Gute Umsätze heute und wieder bei ca 0,5 CAD. Fehlt nicht mehr viel Nachfrage und wir sind wieder bei 0,8 CAD. Gold läuft schon mal voraus...

Knappes Edelmetall
Krisenszenario am Goldmarkt
von Christian Kirchner (Frankfurt)

Die Akteure am Goldmarkt haben im Handel des Edelmetalls eine historisch einmalige Konstellation herbei geführt: Anleger sind jetzt bereit, für physische Goldlieferungen am Spotmarkt etwas mehr zu zahlen als für einen Terminkontrakt zur Lieferung im Februar 2009.

ZUM THEMA

* Diesen Artikel jetzt anhören

Experten werten das als Signal dafür, dass es Probleme bei der physischen Lieferung von Gold gibt oder sie bevorstehen. Üblicherweise notieren Terminkontrakte zur künftigen Lieferung von Gold mit einer leichten Prämie auf den Preis am Spotmarkt. Schließlich müssen sich Besitzer von Gold um Lagerung, Lieferung und Versicherung des Edelmetalls kümmern. Ein Terminkontrakt auf Gold zur künftigen Lieferung ermöglicht den Anlegern dagegen eine Partizipation am Goldpreis ohne diese Kosten.

Dieser Mechanismus ist derzeit außer Kraft gesetzt. Experten sprechen auch von einer "Backwardation", die sich im Goldmarkt seit Einführung der Terminmärkte lediglich im Rahmen äußerst volatiler Handelstage und für kurze Zeit beobachten ließ.

"Vielen Akteuren am Goldmarkt - vor allem den Notenbanken mit großen Goldreserven - ist im Zuge der Finanzkrise der ansonsten schwunghaft betriebene Verleih von physischem Gold gegen Zinsen zu heiß geworden", sagt Markus Mezger, Managing Partner der auf Rohstoffe spezialisierten Tiberius Asset Management. "Die grassierende Unsicherheit hat auch den Goldmarkt erfasst. Viele Marktteilnehmer zweifeln offenbar, ob ihre Gläubiger ihnen das geliehene Gold auch zurückzahlen können", so Thorsten Proettel, Rohstoffanalyst der Landesbank Baden-Württemberg. Vor allem Notenbanken hatten in den vergangenen Jahren in großem Umfang physisches Gold verliehen, um auf ihre Bestände zumindest minimale Leiherträge zu erzielen.

Gold: Preis je Feinunze
Gold: Preis je Feinunze

Erkennbar ist der abrupte Einbruch des Angebots an physischem Gold an den niedrigen Umsätzen und den parallel dazu gestiegenen Verleihzinsen. Pendelten die Zinsen für die Leihe von Gold noch bis zur Pleite der Lehman Brothers Mitte September zwischen 0 und 0,5 Prozent pro Jahr, so betrugen sie am Mittwoch1,9 Prozent. Zugleich sind aber zuletzt die Zinsen für Geldanlagen im Zuge der Zinssenkungen der Notenbanken stark gesunken. "Das macht es für Spekulanten unattraktiver, sich Gold zu niedrigen Zinsen zu leihen, am Markt zu verkaufen und die Erlöse in besser verzinste Anlagen zu stecken", erläutert Tiberius-Experte Metzger.

Zugleich sei die Nachfrage nach physischem Gold zuletzt stark gestiegen, berichtet Tiberius-Experte Mezger. Auch die Analysten von Commerzbank Securities beobachten, dass für Goldmünzen derzeit Prämien von sechs Prozent auf den Wert des Goldes gezahlt werden müssen, dreimal so viel wie noch 2006. Dies spreche für eine hohe physische Nachfrage, da Gold als sicherer Hafen gelte.


Wie tief ist die Finanzkrise?

09:39Letzter Beitrag

Aus der Backwardation-Situation am Goldmarkt kann man laut Mezger noch keine sichere Preisprognose ableiten. "Notiert der Future-Preis für Gold künftig noch deutlicher als derzeit unter dem Preis für den Spotmarkt, wäre dies ein Zeichen für eine starke physische Knappheit von Gold sowie einem anhaltenden Misstrauen gegenüber den Terminmärkten." In keinem Markt sei schließlich die Arbitrage zwischen Spot- und Terminmarkt so leicht wie bei Gold, da eine Lieferung den Spekulanten im Gegensatz zu Öl- der Agrarrohstoffmärkten nicht vor große Probleme stelle.

Mezger erwartet aber langfristig wieder vierstellige Goldkurse. "Einerseits rechne ich mit einem Ende der Dollarstärke der vergangenen Monate, die den Goldpreis belastet hat. Andererseits wird vielen Akteuren am Kapitalmarkt erst in den kommenden Monaten langsam klar werden, welche Folgen die Kapitalinjektionen der Regierungen und Notenbanken für die Inflationsrisiken hat".Auch LBBW-Experte Proettel ist moderat optimistisch für den Goldpreis. Zwar werde die Rezession die Nachfrage nach Goldschmuck, die ein Drittel der physischen Nachfrage ausmacht, drücken. "Dies dürfte aber durch die starke Nachfrage nach physischem Gold mehr als ausgeglichen werden", sagt Proettel. Zudem sinke derzeit die Förderung.

December 03, 2008
La Colorada Gold Project Acquisition Revised and Accelerated
Pediment Exploration Ltd. ("Pediment" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement to adjust its original option to purchase certain holdings in the La Colorada gold-silver project, in order to both reduce the cash cost to the Company and to accelerate the acquisition. La Colorada gold-silver project is a past producing mine site with historic output from both underground vein and open-pit to heap leach operations. The project is located on main highway and electrical grid infrastructure some 40 km southeast of Hermosillo, the capital and main supply point of Sonora State in north western Mexico. The subject holdings were originally included in an option to purchase agreement in late 2007 (see release dated October 22, 2007), and they encompass the past producing open pit and underground workings of the Gran Central, La Colorada and Intermediate zone deposits, portions of the workings of the El Creston deposits, along-trend exploration ground, and surface holdings that contain plant and office complexes built during open pit mining at the site from 1993-2002.

Under the original agreement Pediment was to pay a total of US$2.75 million over a three year period in order to earn a 100% interest, of which US$1.1 million has been paid. Under the revised agreement Pediment will make one further payment of US$825,000 cash, assign certain production royalties, and allow the vendor the right to bid on a competitive basis for contracts to conduct open pit mining at La Colorada should the Company choose to re-develop the project on that basis. The royalties are Net Smelter Return (NSR) on material from the subject holdings, of 3% if open pit mined or of 2% if underground mined. The 2% NSR on underground production can be purchased by Pediment at any time for US$300,000. The vendors are working on securing an adjacent concession which the Company has agreed to purchase for 300,000 shares.

Pediment owns or controls 100% of all areas of historic open pit mining and all known areas of historic underground production from the La Colorada gold-silver camp, plus owns or holds options to acquire adjacent areas of exploration potential. By completing this revised agreement the Company gains, in addition to a lower cash outlay, a greater flexibility in dealing with the various scenarios that might allow the redevelopment of the project.

In addition to La Colorada, Pediment owns the San Antonio gold project in Baja California Sur for which an initial inferred resource estimate announced in June (see release dated June 16, 2008) for Los Planes and Las Colinas zones respectively indicated 1.45 million troy ounces (combined) of gold within 30.58 million tonnes averaging 1.32 g/t gold and 5.62 million tonnes averaging 0.83 g/t gold (0.4 g/t cut-off grade). These mineral resource estimates are compliant with the requirements of National Instrument policy 43-101. The Company is awaiting results of initial column leach tests on material from San Antonio. Pediment's VP Exploration Mel Herdrick is a qualified person as defined by NI-43-101 and has approved this release.

Pediment also owns: the separate El Triunfo concessions near San Antonio containing areas of historic silver production plus areas being targeted as a possible extension of the regional system hosting gold at San Antonio; a series of early phase gold exploration projects within the Mojave-Sonora Megashear trend of western Sonora State; and the Valenzuela silver project in eastern Sonora State.

Pediment's CEO Gary Freeman comments: "we are very pleased that both sides of this agreement have recognized the changed conditions since it was originally signed, and been able to make adjustments that benefit both parties and that further the potential to move La Colorada to redevelopment status. Upon closing of the revised agreement Pediment will own both of its main gold assets in western Mexico, and be able to continue work on each of them in the most efficient way for its shareholders."

Pediment is a Vancouver based exploration company, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under ticker symbol "PEZ", that is focused on advancing gold projects in north western Mexico through exploration and resource definition. Pediment is well funded with $16.5 million of working capital and no debt.

Guten morgen,

ja diese Meldung ist leider nicht über den eMail-Verteiler verschickt worden !
Die Phase vor der Produktion ist immer sehr sehr ruhig was Nachrichten betrifft, wir müssen uns also, auf ein relativ ruhiges Jahr 2009 einstellen ! Aber ich denke, Kurse von 0,50 - 0,60 € sollten dann schon wieder erreicht sein !!

Na wer sagts denn, schon 0,78 in TSX. Ging ja schneller als ich dachte und die Umsätze sind interessant hoch!
Guuutes Zeichen.

Kann jetzt natürlich an der 0,8 abprallen. Aber irgendwas steckt hinter den Käufen. Schon vor dem Anstieg wurden regelmäßig 30T Pakete nach Börsenöffnung eingesammelt. Jetzt sind die Pakete noch größer geworden.

Aber wer kauft? Kann mir kaum vorstellen, dass hier Privatleute auch nur einen kleinen Teil zum Anstieg beitragen. Zumal sonst in den Boards etwas los wäre. Aber da herrscht Totenstille. Im Segment der Explorer - soweit ichs überblicke - ist kein breiter Anstieg in zu verzeichnen.

Also gibt es vielleicht einen bestimmten Investor der sich ganz speziell für PEZ interessiert. Immerhin sind in dieser Woche schon zirka 0,5 Mio CAD in PEZ geflossen. Gar Übernahme geplant? (Hier könnte eine Gerücht entstehen!)

Hält der Anstieg + Volumen an, dann kann man sich so seine Gedanken machen.

[smartcard]

Na nu, tut sich ja ganz schön was bei PEZ. Der Anstieg liegt somit wohl eher an der gesteigerten Aufmerksamkeit interessierter Kreise für diesen angehenden Gold-Produzenten.

PRESS RELEASE
Pediment Welcomes Chris Babcock to its Management Team and Announces the Cancellation and Grant of Stock Options

Last update: 4:30 p.m. EST Dec. 12, 2008
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Dec 12, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Pediment Exploration Ltd. (CA:PEZ: news, chart, profile) ("Pediment" or the "Company") is pleased to welcome Chris Babcock to the position of Mine Development in charge of its San Antonio project. Mr. Babcock has 24 years of experience in the mining industry, 17 years being in Mexico or on Mexican projects. He was most recently the President of Castle Gold Corp. and previous to that was the President of Morgain Minerals Inc. Mr. Babcock was the Manager of Mexico for Alamos Gold during the early development of the Mulatos project. He was also involved in the initial development of the La Colorada project, which the Company just purchased. His involvement in the early 1990's for Eldorado Gold included completing a bulk heap leach test and the design, construction and initial operations of the commercial heap leach facility. Mr. Babcock's experience in the development and operation of gold mines will greatly assist the Company in its efforts to develop the San Antonio project.
In addition, the Company announces a total of 1,240,000 incentive stock options, under its Share Option Plan, which were granted to certain employees, consultants and directors of Pediment have been cancelled. 400,000 of the incentive stock options were priced at $1.88 and 840,000 were priced at $3.00. The Board of Directors has agreed to cancel these options to ensure that there is a pool of options available to reward and motivate employees, potential employees and consultants and directors and officers for their contribution toward the success and goals of the Company. The Company has granted, under its Share Option Plan, incentive stock options to certain employees, consultants and directors of Pediment to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,900,000 common shares. The options will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at a price of $0.60 per share.
Finally, the Company confirms that, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated June 22, 2005 between the Company and El Dragon Minerals, LLC et al , (the "El Dragon Agreement") the Company has issued 2,500,000 common shares (the "Bonus Shares") to the former shareholders of the Company's subsidiary Minera Pitalla S.A. de C.V. In accordance with applicable securities laws, the shares will be subject to a four-month hold period. Under the El Dragon Agreement, the Bonus Shares are issuable on the satisfaction of a condition that more than one million ounces of gold or gold equivalent resource be discovered on three or fewer Pitalla projects, with at least 500,000 ounces on a single project. A NI 43-101 report on the San Antonio project commissioned by Pediment reported an Inferred Resource of 1.45 million ounces of gold. Based on that report and an additional independent review of the project the Company has determined that that condition has been satisfied.
Additional details on the El Dragon Agreement are set out in the Company's public disclosure filings on SEDAR ( www.sedar.com), including the Company's February 9, 2005 Information Circular and its October 6, 2005 news release. The El Dragon Agreement has been accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Pediment's president Gary Freeman commented, "We're thrilled to have someone of Chris' stature and experience spearheading the San Antonio project and moving it forward. We're equally pleased to be able to fulfill the original El Dragon agreement. The bulk of the shares being issued will go to close associates of the company who continue to be active and supportive shareholders. I look forward to continuing to build the sort of company they originally envisioned to the benefit of all Pediment's shareholders and other stake holders."
On behalf of the board,
Gary Freeman, President and CEO
PEDIMENT EXPLORATION LTD.

Dear Investor:



Pediment Exploration Ltd (TSXV: PEZ; OTCBB: PEZFF) was featured in the December 2008 issue of Greg McCoach’s “The Mining Speculator”. Please read the following comments by Greg McCoach on Pediment:



“Pediment recently announced that they have reached an agreement to adjust its original option to pur­chase certain holdings in the La Colorada gold-silver project, in order to both reduce the cash cost to the company and to accelerate the acquisition. La Colorada gold-silver project is a past producing mine site with historic output from both underground vein and open-pit to heap-leach operations. The project is located on main highway and electrical grid infrastructure approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Hermosillo, the capital and main supply point of Sonora state in northwestern Mexico.



This should give the company greater flexibility in moving forward on La Colorado given the extreme difficulties in our market at the moment. CEO Gary Freeman stated that “Upon closing of the revised agreement Pediment will own both of its main gold assets in western Mexico, and be able to continue work on each of them in the most efficient way for its shareholders.”



Gary has also cut expenses down to a minimum at this point in order to conserve their cash which now stand around the $17 million dollar level. The company is well poised to weather the storm and decide the best course of action of putting La Colorado back into production. I’m sure we will be hearing more about the developments at La Colorado in the near future.



PEZ should also be close to releasing their updated 43-101 resource on the San Antonio gold project in Baja Mexico. For now we wait until more news is released.

Pediment is a STRONG BUY at current levels.”



Pediment remains in the top spot on Greg’s Top 10 list of companies.

We have seen Pediment’s share price decline along with the rest of the junior mining sector, largely due to current global financial crisis, but also from factors such as heavy tax-loss selling. What we believe sets Pediment apart from many other junior exploration companies is the fact that Pediment’s fundamentals remain relatively strong with an established gold resource in the ground and approximately $17 million cash in the bank.

Please call us at 604-682-4418 should you have any questions, or would like more information about the company. You can also visit us at www.pedimentexploration.com .

Rohstoffe
Bergbau: Zulieferer leiden heftig
von Wolfgang Gillmann

Die Zulieferer der Bergbaukonzerne bekommen die Auswirkung von deren Sparkurs zu spüren. Es werden reihenweise Projekte verschoben und gestrichen, weil wegen der gesunkenen Rohstoffpreise viele Projekte nicht mehr rentabel sind oder die Finanzierung klemmt.

DÜSSELDORF. "Wir erwarten in der Branche auch von anderen Unternehmen Anfragen für Verschiebungen", sagte Paul Rheinländer, Geschäftsführer der Bochumer Gebr. Eickhoff Maschinenfabrik u. Eisengießerei nach der Bekanntgabe der Ausgabensenkung von Rio Tinto.

Noch ist die Branche gut beschäftigt. Im Durchschnitt reichen die Bestellungen bei den 130 deutschen Herstellern von Bergbaumaschinen nach Angaben des Branchenverbandes VDMA für sechs bis acht Monate. Großprojekte sichern manchmal die Beschäftigung bis zu zwei Jahre. Allerdings stellt sich die Branche nach den beiden vorangegangenen Rekordjahren für 2008 auf einen Umsatzrückgang von elf Prozent auf drei Mrd. Euro ein. Für 2009 erwartet Rainer Kahrger, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung der Leipziger Takraf, sogar einen Auftragsrückgang von 20 bis 30 Prozent.

Ein Sprecher von Thyssen-Krupp-Fördertechnik nennt zwei Fälle von verschobenen Projekten. In Indonesien sei ein Projekt für eine Anlage zur Kohleförderung im Volumen von 200 Mio. Euro um ein halbes Jahr gestreckt worden. Hier sei man mit dem Auftraggeber in der Endphase der Verhandlungen. In Australien sei ein Projekt im Volumen von 100 Mio. Euro ausgesetzt worden, für das Thyssen-Krupp bereits Vorleistungen erbracht habe.

Es seien aber noch keine Projekte gestrichen worden. "Weitere Probleme in anderen Bereichen deuten sich aber an," sagte der Sprecher. Bei Takraf sind Projekte in Kanada, Peru und Brasilien verschoben worden.

Wenn Projekte gestrichen oder verschoben werden, haben nach Ansicht von Rheinländer die Zulieferer die schlechteren Karten. "Für einige Unternehmen kann es bedrohlich werden", sagt der Geschäftsführer. "Der geringere Umsatz kann einigen das Genick brechen", vermutet Kahrger. Mittelständler könnten es sich schwerlich leisten, Großkonzerne wie Rio Tinto auf Abnahme der vereinbarten Bestellung zu verklagen, auch wenn sie dafür bereits Vorleistungen erbracht oder Material bestellt haben.

Probleme haben die Zulieferer derzeit besonders mit Kunden in Russland. Hier gibt es große Schwierigkeiten bei der Finanzierung. Die deutschen Hersteller versuchen, den Kunden über die stärkere Nutzung von Hermes-Bürgschaften oder die Finanzierung über deutsche Banken entgegenzukommen.

Die Anzahlungen für begonnene Projekte laufen dagegen nach Angaben des Sprechers von Thyssen-Krupp-Fördertechnik regelmäßig. Es habe auch noch keine Forderungen gegeben, die ausgehandelten Preise wegen der inzwischen stark gesunkenen Rohstoffpreise zu senken. Mittelfristig sänken die Preise für die Anlagen aber.

Hallo !

Ich würde eher zukaufen als verkaufen. Aber "Cash" ist ja auch was feines, vielleicht gibt der Kurs ja auch noch mal etwas nach und man steigt erneut ein!

Ist ja auch meine Absicht. Deshalb ja auch Tradingposition. Meinen Altbestand (vollständig aus Gewinnen mit pez finanziert), sowie die 1.Tradingposition mit jetzt ca. 1,10€ Verlust sind noch da.

Ich dachte ich schreibe mal, was ich so mache. Bischen Kontrolle für mich und der Thread wird ein wenig belebt.

@erti
Bist natürlich herzich willkommen. Gibt sicher noch ein paar Hochs und Tiefs zum Traden.

[Pirat_Micha]

Hallo, ich wurde letztens gefragt warum ich so überzeugt von Pediment bin und immer wieder Aktien nachkaufe !! Ich möchte auch hier im Thread noch mal darüber schreiben, wieso-weshalb-warum ich seit meiner Threaderöffnung ein Fan dieser Aktie bin.

Pediment hat sich in den letzten Jahren prächtig entwickelt, auch wenn der Aktienkurs das derzeit überhaupt nicht wiederspiegelt !



Wo wir im Moment stehen und wohin wir wieder gehen werden, zeigt glaube ich ganz gut der Chart.

Erklärung : Die "La Colorada" Goldmine wird so schnell es möglich ist wieder in Produktion gebracht. Die letzten Firmen-Meldungen zeigen ,dass es sehr zügig voran geht.Im Moment rechnet man mit ca. 600.000 Unzen (die noch nach NI43-101 nachgewiesen werden müssen),jedoch gibt es in unmittelbarer nähe zahlreiche Explorationsziele !!
Ich rechne nun mal sehr konservativ : Produktionskosten pro Unze 350 USD, Goldpreis 750 USD = Erlös/Unze 400 USD, Jahresproduktion von 50.000 Unzen = 20.000.000 USD (Gewinn). Der Gewinn wird sofort in die Weiterentwicklung des "San Antonio" Projektes fließen. Denn dort soll ja auch schnellstens mit der Produktion begonnen werden. Das Bohrprogramm zur Ressourcen Erweiterung wurde vorläufig eingestellt um sich vollkommen auf die Produktion konzentrieren zu können ! Man hofft anfangs durch die sehr kostengünstige Laugenmethode Gold abbauen zu können, ich gehe davon aus, dass 1/3 der 1.5 Mio Unzen so abgebaut werden und ich würde vermuten dabei liegen die Kosten unter 300 USD pro Unze. Aber für die grobe Rechnung kalkuliere ich auch hier mit 350 USD !! Ich hoffe die Jahresproduktion wird bei 100.000 Unzen liegen, womit ich aber sicherlich sehr bescheiden bin. Unterm Strich wird meiner Meinung nach Pediment 150.000 Unzen (incl. La C.) pro Jahr auf den Markt bringen, was einem Reingewinn von gut 60 Mio. entsprechen würde.

Diese Rechnung halte ich für Konservativ, denn ich vermute wie schon geschrieben , dass die Produktionskosten unter 300 USD liegen werden und den Goldpreis bei 850 bis 950 USD

Die gut 17 Mio. Cash sollten reichen um La Calorada in Produktion zubringen !
Man darf auch nie vergessen, dass es noch einige andere sehr
interessante Projekte bei Pediment gibt, auch wenn diese im Moment noch unerforscht sind !!

In 2 Jahren stehen wir sicher wieder bei den alten Kurshöhen von 2.40€ und wenn die Produktion richtig läuft lassen wir auch die alten höhen hinter uns.

ABER ETWAS GEDULD GEHÖRT LEIDER DAZU !!

PEDIMENT ANNOUNCES CORRECTED FIGURES FOR STOCK
OPTION CANCELLATION AND GRANT
Vancouver, BC – December 23, 2008, Pediment Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: PEZ)
(“Pediment” or the “Company”) announces a correction in the number of stock
options cancelled and granted as first announced in its December 12, 2008 news
release.
The Company previously announced that 400,000 options priced at $1.88 and
840,000 options priced at $3.00, for a total of 1,240,000 options, which were
previously granted to certain employees, consultants, directors and officers, had
been cancelled. However, there are only 745,000 options priced at $3.00 that
are currently outstanding so the total number of options being cancelled by the
Company at this time is 1,145,000 rather than 1,240,000.
In addition, a total of 1,270,000 new options have been granted at a price of
$0.60 per share, not 1,900,000 new options as previously announced. Certain of
the new incentive stock options that have been granted to insiders will not be
exercisable by the holders until the grants are ratified by disinterested
shareholders at the Company’s 2009 Annual General Meeting and are accepted
for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Bin ich auch Deiner Meinung. Man darf bei Aktienanlagen den Ausstieg nicht vergessen und wenn man den wegen Langfriststrategie nicht will, nur sehr sehr defensiv nachkaufen. Bin trotzdem mit dem letzten Nachkauf in den Keller gerutscht. Das kann ein Fehler gewesen sein. Auf der anderen Seite hab ich es damit gehalten wie Pirat und sitze es aus. Wegen bereits mit PEZ erzielter hoher Gewinne, macht mir das nichts aus. Die Chancen das PEZ wieder über 1,6€ steigt sind gut. Aber das heisst nicht, dass ich mir noch eine Verlustposition erlaube. Daher bis dahin nur noch Kurzfriststrategie.

Eine allgemeine Regel für alle und alles gibt es nicht.

"Wir sind in jeder Hinsicht unabhängig und können uns so jederzeit eine eigene Meinung leisten", sagt Carmignac, der die übergeordnete Strategie der Fonds plant, die elf weitere Manager umsetzen. Knapp ein Fünftel des Fondsvermögens im Investissement-Fonds hat die Gesellschaft in Goldminen investiert. "Die Kosten von Geld weltweit sind nahe null, und es gibt eine starke Tendenz zur Abwertung bei vielen Währungen. Zugleich ist das Verhältnis von Marktkapitalisierung der Minenaktien zum Wert ihrer Goldreserven derzeit nahe dem Allzeittief", analysiert er.

4.6 m of 10.1 g/t Gold & 323 g/t Silver Confirm Highgrade Potential at La Colorada

View News Release in PDF Format

Pediment Exploration Ltd. ("the Company") is pleased to announce the results of an initial study that was conducted to develop new data to target the expansion of known resources and to test for new zones of mineralization at its La Colorada gold-silver project. The La Colorada mine produced gold and silver from open pit heap leach mining operations as recently as 2002, and from underground vein-mining operations prior to 1914. During this study, the company worked on 4 key peripheral areas to the historic open pit mine, including drilling, mapping, and bench sampling. Modelling using current and historic data and new geologic mapping is ongoing, and has confirmed the strike length of the vein system at more than 4 kilometres and open to depth.

Pediment has successfully extended mineralization with a single reverse circulation (RC) drill hole collared approximately 250 metres SW of the Grand Central Pit. (See the drill plan map at www.pedimentexploration.com/i/maps/laColoradaDrillMap.gif) Results below:

Gran Central Block, Southwestern Extension Outside Pit Area
LCOL From (m) To (m) Length (m) Gold g/t Silver g/t Notes
R17 278.9 283.5 4.6 10.1 323.8 End of hole
Incl. 281.9 283.4 1.5 19.3 447.9 in workings

At Gran Central an on-trend extension to the NE of this open-pit is cut-off by a cross-fault. Drill holes 50 to 100 m NE of this fault indicate the down-dropped continuation of the vein system within the adjacent Creston block. The three drill holes completed in this area indicate the continuation of the vein zone at a depth beginning at approx. 200 metres. (Please follow this link to view the long section map: http://www.pedimentexploration.com/i/pdf/LaColoradaGeneraliz… Additionally, one km east in the El Creston pit, veins were shown on 25m spaced historic cross sections to contain a significant number of high grade results that have not been incorporated into an underground resource estimate. Peak values within one vein show a 300m long subset of higher grade values included 1.5 metre intervals returning 49.58, 24.03, 18.76 and 17.97 g/t gold, plus two intervals returning 18.22 and 14.23 g/t gold (non NI 43-101). The above noted results are from the area under the north central part of the El Creston pit. Pediment has also tested the SW end of this pit area with two shallow drill holes, one of which returned significant results as follows:
Creston Block, Creston pit area
LCOL From (m) To (m) Length (m) Gold g/t Silver g/t Notes
R21 126.5 131.1 4.6 3.2 110 End of hole
Incl. 1.5 8.8 270 in workings

Twelve drill holes were completed to test the La Verde area (400 meters NE of the Creston pit) where drill hole R3 intersected three consecutive 1.5 m intervals returning 518, 0.93 and 12.6 g/t gold. While these results are concluded to represent a small high grade shoot, we expect larger tonnage potential to develop in two additional nearby zones as seen in R1. Drill testing at the Veta Madre zone which is located further east intersected 45.7 m, of 0.64 g/t gold and 7.5 g/t silver from surface. These three areas are to be evaluated for open pit potential. (The additional drill results can be viewed at the following link: http://www.pedimentexploration.com/s/La_Colorada.asp?ReportI…
Mel Herdrick, VP of exploration, comments "Data compilation and limited preliminary testing confirms that the gold-silver mineralization at La Colorada is a typical, large size low sulfidation epithermal precious metal system. New understanding of post mineral cross-faulting and tilting of the mineralized trend, considerably expands the scope for finding additional bonanza type mineralization. (Click here for the geological summary http://www.pedimentexploration.com/s/La_Colorada.asp?ReportI… We look forward to further confirming and testing new potential of this project; plans are being developed and will be released shortly." Mel Herdrick is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has approved this release.

Pediment zur Zeit sehr stark. Deutlich höhere Kurse lassen sich voraussehen. Heute gleich mit Börseneröffnung in Kanada 87600 Stücke umgesetzt. Wie schon Anfang Dez. könnte sich der tägliche größere Einkauf wieder fortsetzen. Wir werden sehen. Mein Tipp: Pediment demnächst 1,3 C$. Ich warte allerdings für einen erneuten Einstieg eindeutige Schwächephase ab. Ansonsten bin ich genügend investiert.

Gold erreicht 1000-Dollar-Marke
von Doris Grass (Frankfurt), Joachim Dreykluft und Matthias Brügge (Hamburg)

In Zeiten tiefster Rezession verspricht Gold letzte Sicherheit. Das ist am aktuellen Goldpreis abzulesen, der bereits in den vergangenen Wochen massiv anzog. Jetzt stieg der Preis für das Edelmetall auf die Marke von 1000 $ pro Feinunze.

ZUM THEMA

* Die Welt im Goldrausch (PDF) (http://www.ftd.de/boersen_maerkte/alternativen/330485.pdf)

* Diesen Artikel jetzt anhören

Edelmetallanalysten hatten bereits zu Wochenbeginn darüber spekuliert, jetzt ist es geschehen: Der Preis für eine Feinunze Gold hat am Terminmarkt die Marke von 1000 $ pro Feinunze erreicht. Das entspricht dem Rekordstand von umgerechnet 793 Euro. Am Freitagnachmittag kletterte der Goldpreis für die Feinunze (31,1 Gramm) kurzzeitig über 1000 $. Derzeit steht das Gold bei 992 $.

Im März 2008 war Gold erstmals über die 1000-$-Marke gestiegen. Am 17. März 2008 erreichte das Edelmetall den bisherigen Rekordpreis in US-Dollar von 1033,90 $. Während der Goldpreis in den vergangenen Monaten wegen der weltweiten Rezession weiter gestiegen ist, haben Industriemetalle wegen des Nachfrageeinbruchs deutlich an Wert verloren.

Schmeichelt jede Hand: Goldmünzen und Barren

Wegen des gestiegenen Preises ist auch beim Gold die Nachfrage für die Schmuckherstellung deutlich zurückgegangen. Die Nachfrage von Investoren hat dies jedoch überkompensiert. Seit 2000 hat der Goldpreis auf Jahressicht stets zugelegt.

Der Anstieg der Goldpreises ist vor allem ein Zeichen, dass viele Anleger weltweit eher Inflation denn Deflation fürchten. Die Notenbanken weiten weltweit derzeit die Geldmengen massiv aus, was nach dem Lehrbuch zu einer Geldentwertung führen sollte. Der Direktor des Hamburgischen Weltwirtschaftsinstituts, Thomas Straubhaar, warnte in einem am Freitag veröffentlichten Interview davor. Er rechne "mit einer Geldentwertung zwischen fünf und zehn Prozent pro Jahr für die Zeit nach 2010", sagte er dem Magazin "Focus".

"Gold ist derzeit das dominante Thema der Anleger bei Rohstoffen", so die Analysten von Barclays Capital. "Die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise und die massive Reflationierungspolitik der Regierungen und Zentralbanken lassen die Anleger regelrecht in Gold flüchten", sagte Eugen Weinberg, Rohstoffanalyst der Commerzbank zum Wochenbeginn. Besonders auffällig ist derzeit das starke Interesse an Gold zu Investitionszwecken. Dabei sind vor allem börsengehandelte Fonds (ETF) beliebt. So stiegen allein in der vergangenen Woche die Bestände des weltgrößten und populärsten Gold-ETF, dem SPDR Gold Trust, um 118 Tonnen auf knapp 986 Tonnen.

Nachfrage ungebrochen

"Die Nachfrage nach Investmentgoldbarren in Europa hält unvermindert an", sagte auch Wolfgang Wrzesniok-Roßbach, Leiter Marketing und Sales beim Edelmetallhändler Heraeus. "Unsere Barrenproduktion läuft aus diesem Grund weiter auf Höchsttouren." Daher seien auch lange Lieferzeiten weiterhin nicht auszuschließen. Auch Münzen sind nach wie vor massiv gefragt. So berichten Münzanstalten weltweit von einer beispiellosen Nachfrage. Weil die Produktion von US-Münzen nicht nachkommt, weichen US-Anleger unter anderem nach Australien aus.

Aber auch Käufe der Zentralbanken, die den Wert ihrer Reserven bewahren wollen, werden von Marktteilnehmern als Grund für die steigenden Notierungen genannt. So teilte am Dienstag der stellvertretende russische Notenbankgouverneur, Alexei Uljukajew, mit, sein Haus habe den Goldanteil der Reserven 2008 erhöht und wolle dies auch 2009 fortsetzen. Konkrete Zahlen nannte er jedoch nicht.

Zieht Menschen magisch an, wird aber immer teurer: Gold
Zieht Menschen magisch an, wird aber immer teurer: Gold

Die hohen Preise rufen zudem auch wieder Spekulanten auf den Plan. So kletterten die spekulativen Netto-Long-Positionen an der New Yorker Rohstoffbörse Comex in der Woche zum 10. Februar um 8000 auf 163.622 Kontrakte und erreichten damit den höchsten Stand seit sechs Monaten.

Dagegen lassen die Rekordpreise die Nachfrage in der Schmuckindustrie massiv einbrechen. So hat Indien als normalerweise weltweit größtes Importland im Februar bislang überhaupt kein Gold eingeführt, wie Vertreter der Bombay Bullion Association mitteilten. Schon im Januar waren die Importe auf 1,8 Tonnen von 24 Tonnen im Vorjahresmonat eingebrochen. Der vorhandene Bedarf kann nach Aussagen der Verbandsvertreter vollständig mit dem Rücklauf an Altgold gedeckt werden.

Analysten sehen weiter hohe Nachfrage

Doch solange die Investmentnachfrage in die Bresche springt, dürfte dies den Goldpreis nicht belasten, sind die Bankanalysten überzeugt. "Fonds stecken riesige Geldbeträge in Gold und kaufen auf fast jedem Unterstützungsniveau", sagte Si Kannan, Vice President bei Kotak Commodity Services in Mumbai. "Angesichts der weltweiten Unsicherheiten kann man sicher sein, dass Gold seinen Aufwärtsmarsch fortsetzen wird."

Als weiteren Treiber nennt Frank Schallenberger, Rohstoffexperte der LBBW, dass die Produktion der Goldminen 2009 erneut sinken dürfte. Zudem sei das Verkaufsprogramm der Schweizerischen Notenbank ausgelaufen, die in den vergangenen zehn Jahren durchschnittlich 150 Tonnen pro Jahr auf den Markt brachte. Auch das Verkaufsprogramm der Banque de France laufe aus.

Goldproduktion in Südafrika fällt um 13,8% in 2008
25.02.2009 | 10:45 Uhr | Rainer Hahn (EMFIS)
RTE Stuttgart - (www.rohstoffe-go.de) - Der südafrikanische Verband der Minen (Chamber of Mines) gab gestern bekannt, dass die Goldproduktion des Landes in 2008 um 13,8 Prozent im Vergleich zum Jahr 2007 zurückgegangen ist. Das ist der tiefste Stand seit 1922, als ein Streik die Goldproduktion lahm legte.

Südafrika war viele Jahre das Land mit der größten Goldproduktion und ist in 2008 an die dritte Stelle hinter China und die USA gerückt.

Die Gründe für den anhaltenden Rückgang sind mannigfaltig: Viele Goldvorkommen müssen aus immer größerer Tiefe abgebaut werden. Zudem macht die Geologie der verbleibenden Vorkommen den Abbau technisch schwierig. Früher leicht abbaubare Vorkommen sind erschöpft.

In 2008 kam hinzu, dass aufgrund des Ausfalls der Stromversorgung die Minen zeitweise nicht arbeiten konnten und zeitweise nicht mit voller Kapazität. In 2008 wurden Minen auf nach Unfällen zur Untersuchung der Ursachen geschlossen.

Für die Zukunft sieht der Verband einen weiteren Rückgang der Fördermengen voraus aufgrund der zunehmend ausgebeuteten Vorkommen. Auch ein noch höherer Goldpreis würde kurz- bis mittelfristig keine Erhöhung der Fördermengen bringen: Es würden nur eher Vorkommen mit geringerem Goldgehalt abgebaut werden.

Südafrika ist nach wie vor eines der wichtigsten Goldförderländer: In 2008 wurden 7,08 Mio. Feinunzen Gold gefördert. In Goldminen sind 166.000 Bergleute beschäftigt. Der Goldbergbau trägt einen Anteil von 2,5 Prozent zum Bruttoinlandsprodukt bei und entspricht 7 Prozent der Exporte des Landes.

Der Rückgang der Goldförderung um 13,8 Prozent in Südafrika ist eine Komponente im weltweiten Rückgang der Goldförderung um ca. 4 Prozent in 2008.

Gold will hit $2,000 this year: Greg McCoach
2009-03-07 06:50:00

Successful entrepreneur turned bullion dealer Greg McCoach brings more than 20 years of business experience, a vast network of mining contacts and his unique precious metals industry insights to the mining investment newsletter he launched in 2001, The Mining Speculator. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Greg outlines the ‘new’ criteria for junior miners, explains why he favors the juniors over more senior producers and advises a combination of both physical metal and stocks for investors to protect themselves in today’s market.

The Gold Report (TGR): In your January newsletter, there's a table that shows how the HUI Gold BUGS Index over 10 years was the top asset class. Can you talk about gold as the top asset class compared to these others?

Greg McCoach (GM): We see by the statistics that the HUI Index, which is a measure of gold and silver precious metal stocks, has performed better than any other asset class in the past 10 years. Now what’s interesting is that we’re still in the process of watching this gold bull unfold. In terms of the four stages of a bull market, we are probably past the midway point and heading into the latter stages. This is where the parabolic moves in the precious metals will start to happen. And with all that is unfolding in the world economic scene, it's not difficult to see why gold will soon be soaring.

TGR: So you definitely think this bodes well for the next phase of the gold bull market; there will be a parabolic move?

GM: Yes. This is where you’re going to see gold really go to levels that people can’t even comprehend. Up to this point, gold has been a surprise to many in the mainstream media. What investors need to understand about the bull market in gold thus far is that the numbers that we’re dealing with, $960 an ounce gold right now, is nowhere near the 1980 high in gold of $875 an ounce.

You have to inflation-adjust those 1980 numbers for 28 years of true inflation. If you did that, the $875 high in gold would have to be $6,500 an ounce in inflation-adjusted terms. For silver, it’d be $400 dollars an ounce. So when you see silver at its current rate of $14 an ounce and gold at $960 an ounce, in real inflation-adjusted terms, those prices are still dirt cheap, relatively speaking, compared to where they’re going to be going.

As we see the world financial system continue to unravel, the dollar along with all fiat currencies will just implode leaving gold as the currency of last resort. Gold, and silver will go into the stratosphere as this happens. People need to remember that what took gold and silver to their all-time highs in 1980 pales in comparison to what we are dealing with now. The world has never witnessed the likes of the financial destruction that is now underway. It is truly frightening.

TGR: You say in your “Greg’s Crystal Ball” section that you think the mania phase is going to start happening sometime next year, in 2010.

GM: I think by the end of this year things are going to be so bad worldwide that gold is going to become headline news and that will become the driving force towards the parabolic moves. What’s happening right now is that the big money is still playing the paper game of musical chairs. "Paper musical chairs," I call it. When the music stops, people run from one chair to the other chair looking for safety. They run from bonds to dollars to Euros, etc., trying to find the safest place. But they’re not finding it. Why? Because the paper system as we’ve known it is unraveling. So people are trying to chase safety. Well, they can’t find it because it doesn’t exist. They go into dollars, and they feel comfortable there for a little while; then suddenly the dollar tanks again, and then they run out of the dollar to another paper currency.

Ultimately, when the music stops, they’re not going to run to a chair; they’re going to run for the exits. When that happens, they’re going to discover the asset class known as gold. That’s when these parabolic moves are going to happen. As that happens of course, the select precious metal mining stocks will move up accordingly. The leverage investors can get will be phenomenal during such a scenario.

TGR: You say the key is to own the physical metal, as well as the stocks. What do you recommend as far as percentages in a portfolio?

GM: Right now my personal portfolio is 25% cash, 25% physical metals. I take physical delivery of gold and silver. I have 35% in select precious mining stocks, junior mining stocks mostly, and then the balance is in Canadian oil and gas trusts that pay a monthly dividend check.

TGR: You favor the juniors over the more senior producers simply because of the growth potential?

GM: Yes. The leverage is better. For me, personally, I’m willing to take the extra risk with the juniors because I feel like I know what I’m doing and I’m confident about it, so I feel comfortable in being able to identify the juniors that are going to perform very well. The seniors will do well, but they won’t do as well on a percentage basis. In other words, there’s not as much leverage with the seniors as there is with the quality juniors. But the big problem for the average investor is trying to understand what a quality junior is. There’s so many of these companies out there, 80% of which are nothing but moose pasture, and it’s very difficult to sort through all the promotions and scams to find the real jewels. That’s my job as a newsletter writer; that’s what I do. I travel the world trying to sort through all the garbage to find the real opportunities that can deliver the big returns.

TGR: What do you see right now with the juniors? Some of them definitely are climbing back up.

GM: I think it’s nice to see them recover a little bit. This is a very good learning situation for investors of mining stocks. Look at the companies that are rebounding. If we have another implosion, which companies do you want to buy? The ones that rebounded the quickest and the most in the past several weeks, months.

Since the bottom in late November, early December, we’ve had companies that have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled if you had enough courage, or any cash, to buy back then. But there are other companies that haven’t moved at all, and they’re just stuck in the mud. So, obviously, you have been given a great opportunity to see the companies that are more quality oriented, that have the value, that have what the market is looking for, and those companies are the ones you want to really pay attention to.

Since a lot of the stocks on our list bottomed out, the top 10 list, in particular, has had some of the stocks do quite well. Some of them have doubled, tripled, and have bounced back quite nicely from the bottom. Unfortunately, most of us probably bought at a higher level and so we’re not even up to the point where we’re at break-even again. Obviously, we’re still waiting for higher levels.

Now what I’ve been saying is that, unfortunately, with the severity of the world economic events, up to this point our mining shares have been sucked down the drain, so to speak, when world stock markets sell off. Every day that the world stock markets have had a bad day, the mining stocks have had a bad day as well. What we’re looking for is the precious metal prices to help us disconnect from that activity. It hasn’t happened yet. I’m still worried that the next downturn in the world markets could affect our junior mining stocks again. I’ve been looking for this key disconnect moment, where the precious metal prices take us into another realm and help protect and insulate our select junior mining stocks. You have to use ‘select’ because so many of the juniors are going nowhere. It’s only the select companies that are going to be protected or insulated from other market activity that’s going in the wrong direction. So I’m looking for that moment our quality junior stocks start to move on their own accord.

TGR: Can you give us an overview of what you consider a select company? What is the criteria?

GM: The criteria is this. They have to exceptional management. In other words, out of all the management teams that exist out there, there’s probably only a small handful that really have the quality background and experience to do what they say they’re going to do. Most of these other people are just managers or lawyers who don’t have experience or are hoping to get involved with a hot sector. They’re highly promotional, and most often are only looking out for themselves.

So you look for the people that have the right resumes, the ones who have worked for the majors for 10, 15, 20 years or more and have the experience (paid their dues so to speak), learned the business, understand what they’re doing and what they are trying to accomplish. Do they have experience in doing this specific task such as find gold? Did they mine gold or silver before? If they were mining for uranium their whole career and they jump into gold, well, that doesn’t sound too good to me.

So you have to have the experience and the knowledge base. That’s key. The way we’ve been playing this market the last eight years is no longer as valid as it once was. We need to adjust to the new rules on how to play this game and win.

What the market is looking for is very specific. If you make a good gold discovery, it has to be in an existing mining camp. It has to be in an area where the development costs aren’t very large. If you make a big gold discovery, and it's in an area that’s out in the middle of nowhere, the development costs are going to be too high. No one’s going to fund it; no one’s going to finance a project like this with the new market environment. It doesn’t matter how good the results are.

So you have to find these discoveries in good jurisdictions that have short permitting times that have existing infrastructure. If it doesn’t have those things, forget about it. There are plenty of great discoveries that I know of. They’re just in the wrong area. Some examples would be Romios Gold Resources Inc. (TSX.V:RG), Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX:CUU), who have tremendous discoveries but are unfortunately in the wrong area. It takes too much money to develop such a desolate area as we have seen with NovaGold Resources Inc. (TSX:NG) (AMEX:NG) in their effort to get the Galore Creek deposit in production. The cost overruns were so enormous, they had to shut the whole thing down. Well, the market’s not interested in those kind of projects anymore. I choose to invest in areas that have what the market wants.

Look in the areas that have plenty of existing mines and infrastructure. This is where plenty of experienced mining people already live and juniors who can make a discovery will most likely be bought out by a major who is in the area.

Now certain jurisdictions are better than others. The political risk now is more intense than it was. Political risk is always a big factor, but the political risk now is just amazing, so you have to be very careful where you’re willing to invest your money. For me, I’m getting to the point where there are only a few jurisdictions that I’m willing to look at. Certain parts of Canada where there’s existing mining camps, certain parts in the United States, and Mexico which still looks very good. That’s about it. Everything else is no longer as attractive as it once used to be.

We’re also looking for higher-grade resources vs. lower grade. We’re looking for low-cost development situations vs. high-cost development situations. We’re looking for economic deposits that can be financed.

Here’s another situation—within mining, the different kinds of discoveries. A large copper-gold porphyry system is known to house large amounts of gold and silver,; but, unfortunately, it’s also known to have very high development costs. Who’s going to finance that? I’m not as interested in those kinds of stories as I once was. You’re better off looking for the higher grade— “epithermal”—smaller vein, higher grade, near-surface deposits that will have an easier time of actually going the whole distance and getting into production.

TGR: Let’s talk about some of the companies on your top 10 list. Pediment Exploration Ltd. (PEZ:TSX) (PEZGF: OTCBB) (P5E:FSE) is at the top; can you give us an update?

GM: Since they bottomed, Pediment has more than doubled. They’re hanging around the dollar trading range, which some people have been disappointed with. But what I say is, look, Gary Freeman, the CEO, is just weighing his options right now. He’s not making much in the way of news. That’s okay. He’s lying low, he’s looking at his options right now, and this is a company that is about to release a new 43-101 that will have more than 2 million ounces of gold in the ground. This is a verified situation. That’s a significant number because once a company, a junior, crosses the 2 million ounce gold mark, it gets on the radar screens of the majors.

Gary has a lot of things he’s weighing out. After the market meltdown, he decided to reduce costs, get things trimmed down, and get the burn rate really low to conserve cash. So, in the last few months there has not been much in the way of news. The company is lying low for now, but I think you’re going to see that change as PEZ announces their new 43-101 resource calculation. At that point I think you’re going to see Pediment start to have a lot of news flow, which should be very good for the share price.

He’s got the Baja property we just talked about that’s going to have the new 43-101. I don’t see how it’s not at least 2 million ounces based on my back-of-the-envelope calculations, but you never know with these things until they actually come out. I would guess it’s going to be over 2 million and there’s plenty more to be discovered there In my opinion, this deposit could be greater than 3 million ounces before all is said and done. Well, that’s a major discovery. It’s in the right jurisdiction, with very low development costs and it’s in an existing mining area, so it should do very well.

Now, Pediment also has a project called La Colorada that could be a near-term producer. It’s the old open pit that El Dorado Gold Corporation (ELD.TO) (AMEX:EGO) produced from, which really made El Dorado Gold what they are today—what launched them—that discovery and putting it into production. Pediment now controls it and other people are interested in it. Should Gary vend it out to somebody else, take the cash and run, or should he develop it himself? He has lots of options. He has lots of cash. He has lots of great properties. Gary has many different things he can consider at this point, so I think he wisely just stepped back, started to look through everything that he has and what options are available. We’ll see what happens but the prospects for the company look very good..

I’m sure there’s been interest by majors already on the Baja Project. He’s probably gotten plenty of calls, where the majors are already saying, "hey, look, what if we just take you out at this price?" Is it high enough? Is it worth taking the money now and running, letting somebody else deal with it? Or is it better for the company to go down the road a little bit further, develop it themselves in the hopes of getting a much higher price later on? These are things we all have to weigh out. Is it better for us as shareholders to take the money and run right now, even though we might get a lower price for it? Or should we wait a little bit longer, and get a higher price when they develop it? These are things we have to look at. So, with that being said, in my opinion, as we see these higher gold prices and with the news that’s about to come out, I think Pediment’s a two dollar stock in the next six to eight weeks. Continued...

TGR: Capital Gold Corp. (TSX:CGC) is also on your list, correct?

GM: Yes, and as Capital Gold runs up to the 90 cent level—it was recently in the 80 cent range—as it gets close to 90 cents Canadian, I’m telling people to start selling, start taking some profit. What’s going to happen is the company is going to do a reverse stock split, which is going to be a minimum 4:1 stock split. These stock splits are always negative for current shareholders. Let’s just say they decide to do the reverse split at a dollar. They’ll reduce their outstanding shares by 75% and the stock would be at four dollars at that point, which would get them their AMEX listing (which is a good thing), and that’s why they want to do it. But, typically, what happens, after they do a reverse split, the stock gets hammered. The four dollar share price gets leveled and it usually retracts to a level that is very damaging to current shareholders. So this is why I’m saying take some profit as Capital Gold gets over 90 cents, hold the cash.

I think Capital Gold is worth holding in the portfolio, but wait ‘til after the reverse split and the detrimental effects that reverse splits typically have on share prices. Wait for the share price to retract, and then buy in again because I think Capital Gold will be a good company to hold. I just think you should take some profits at this point.

TGR: What about SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL)?

GM: Silvercrest is a great story. Their production scenario at Santa Elena in Mexico is a high-grade silver-gold kind of scenario. They just came out with their resource update. The resource is growing and the project should be in production by the end of 2009. Things are looking very good so I’m going to keep the company in my portfolio. This resource should grow with time. It’s got all the things that the market’s looking for—precious metals-oriented in Mexico, near-term production and the company should have cash flow.

TGR: Riverside Resources Inc. (TSX:RRI) just joined your top 10 list, right?

GM: Yes, they made their entry into the top 10 because they have shown me that they know how to manage the prospect generator model with success. The CEO, whom I like very much, really watches and guards the treasury and watches out for shareholders. He’s managing his properties very well, and I think he’s got not just one but possibly multiple discoveries. And this is what you want with a junior exploration stock. Some people say, "Greg, don’t you want to have people who have a production cash flow?" Yes. We’re going to have some of those in the portfolio, but the exploration companies—the good ones that can make the discoveries—is where you get the biggest leverage of all. And I think Riverside is in that category. So they are now number nine on our top 10. I like them very much and I think it’s a good play.

TGR: Can you talk about another from your top 10 list— Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (TSX:ANV) (ANV)?

GM: Allied Nevada is a good story because they’re getting the Hycroft mine back into production. It’s going very, very well. The stock price has rebounded very nicely, and I think it’s probably poised to make a new high. Now we saw some selling pressure, some people were taking profits in January and early February as the stock was recovering; but now I think that selling pressure is gone and the stock is back up over the $6 level again. With higher gold and silver prices, I think you’re going to see Allied make a new all-time high and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the stock at $7 or $8. So there could be a profit opportunity on that one coming up here.

TGR: Now Vista Gold Corp. (TSX:VGZ) (AMEX:VGZ) is not on your top 10 list, but you cover them, correct?

GM: Yes, I like Vista Gold. Allied Nevada and Vista used to be one company before they did the split. The better properties I thought went with Allied Nevada, but Vista Gold still has plenty of good situations. Their model of acquiring cheap gold ounces in the ground, increasing the value of them in a market where gold prices are going higher, is a very valid market. They have a good share structure, they have cash in the bank, and they’re a very well-managed company with top management talent. So, with higher gold prices, that model should do very, very well.

They’ve got multiple projects with big gold deposits in Australia at the Mt. Todd deposit, which is a 6 million ounce gold resource. They’ve got the Awak Mas property in Indonesia that is a very large holding of gold. And higher gold prices make these kinds of projects worth more and more. They’ve also got some great projects in Mexico next to Pediment’s project on the Baja. They have the Paredones Amarillos Project, which is kind of waiting on a permit situation that they thought was already done years ago that seems to have had a little glitch there, but that’ll get worked out. And they’ve got some other good projects in Idaho and one other one (I can’t think of it off the top of my head), but it’s a good scenario and that model should work well. If you believe in higher gold prices, Vista Gold should do very well.

Bundesbank Deutsche Goldreserven unverkäuflich
Frank Doll 09.03.2009 Jetzt kommentieren! 4,7 (21) Legende

Die Bundesbank will die deutschen Goldreserven nicht verkaufen. Sie verleiht sie aber zum Teil – und nimmt damit unnötige Risiken in Kauf.

Eine Bank liegt dem Steuerzahler noch nicht auf der Tasche – die Deutsche Bundesbank. Im Gegenteil: Am Dienstag wird Bundesbank-Präsident Axel Weber wohl den höchsten Bundesbankgewinn seit 2001 melden. Knapp sieben Milliarden Euro werde Weber an Bundesfinanzminister Peer Steinbrück weiterreichen, schätzt Uwe Angenendt, Chefvolkswirt der BHF-Bank. Die Bundesbank profitierte vom wieder gestiegenen US-Dollar und dem hohen Refinanzierungsbedarf der privaten Banken.

Den Verkauf der deutschen Goldreserven – aktueller Marktwert gut 80 Milliarden Euro – dürfte Weber erneut ablehnen. Zuletzt hatte CDU-Haushaltsexperte Steffen Kampeter dies gefordert – zur Finanzierung der Konjunkturpakete des Bundes. Die Goldreserven seien für Krisenzeiten angelegt worden, und in denen befinde man sich jetzt, ließ Kampeter verlauten. In Finanzkreisen heißt es dazu, der forsche CDU-Mann habe da wohl etwas durcheinander gebracht: Eben weil das Vertrauen in den Euro schwindet, ist es umso wichtiger, am Gold festzuhalten. So sieht das bisher auch Bundesbankchef Weber: „Die Goldreserven haben eine vertrauens- und stabilitätssichernde Funktion für die gemeinsame Währung.“

Goldbestände lagern weltweit

Bis auf etwa fünf Tonnen pro Jahr, die dem Bund für die Prägung von Goldmünzen verkauft werden, hat die Bundesbank seit Webers Amtsantritt 2004 kein Gold abgegeben. Offiziell weist die Bundesbank 3412,6 Tonnen Goldreserven aus. 2008 stieg der Goldpreis in Euro um acht Prozent auf 620 Euro pro Feinunze. Somit wird die Bundesbank in ihrer Bilanz für 2008 unter dem Aktivposten „Gold und Goldforderungen“ etwa 68 Milliarden Euro ausweisen, rund sechs Milliarden Euro mehr als Ende 2007. Die Goldbilanz fiele deutlich düsterer aus, wäre Webers Amtsvorgänger Ernst Welteke mit seiner Idee durchgekommen, Gold zu verkaufen und den Erlös auch in europäische Aktien zu stecken.

Flucht vor dem Risiko
Anziehungskraft von Gold ungebrochen
von Christine Mai (Frankfurt)

Die sich verschärfende Krise treibt Investitionen in das Edelmetall auf immer neue Höhen. Inflationssorgen und ein abwertender Dollar könnten die Rally weiter beflügeln. Skeptiker warnen jedoch vor Engpässen - und höherer Schwankungsanfälligkeit.

Die Flucht von Investoren in Goldinvestments ist ungebremst. Der Preis des gelben Edelmetalls stieg am Donnerstag wieder und bleibt damit weiter deutlich über 900 $ je Unze (31,1 Gramm). Börsengehandelte Goldprodukte wie Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) boomen: Die Bestände des weltgrößten Gold-ETF, SPDR Gold Trust, haben nach Angaben des Fonds vom Donnerstag mit 1038,2 Tonnen ein neues Rekordhoch erreicht.

Damit liegt SPDR Gold Trust nur knapp hinter der Schweizer Nationalbank, die weltweit den sechstgrößten Bestand hält. ETFs kaufen mit dem Geld der Anleger physisches Gold, so dass eine tatsächliche Hinterlegung des Fondswertes gesichert ist.

Der Andrang spiegelt die Nervosität der Anleger wider. Angesichts der sich verschärfenden Wirtschaftskrise und der extremen Schwankungen bei anderen Anlageklassen wie Aktien suchen sie sichere Investitionen. Gold wird zudem als Absicherung gegen Inflation angesehen - Sorgen um höhere Teuerungsraten haben zugenommen, weil die Verschuldung der Staaten weltweit steigt und Notenbanken die Geldpolitik enorm gelockert haben: Die Bank of England hat damit begonnen, Staatsanleihen aufzukaufen, die amerikanische Fed dürfte folgen.

Viele Experten erwarten, dass der Goldpreis weiter klettern wird. Die Analysten der DZ Bank etwa rechnen mit einem Anstieg auf 1200 $ im Jahr 2010. Analysten der UBS zufolge könnte der Preis bis 2015 sogar auf maximal 2500 $ hochschnellen - wenn die Inflation das Ausmaß der 70er-Jahre erreicht und der Dollar abwertet. Ein schwacher Greenback treibt in der Regel den Goldpreis. Auch die Analysten von Barclays Capital gehen von einer Abwertung des Dollars und einem weiteren Anstieg des Goldpreises aus.

Dass der Preis momentan trotz der relativen Stärke des Dollar schon hoch ist, führen Analysten auf die enorme Risioaversion der Investoren zurück. "Dieses Mal steigen die Goldpreise, obwohl die traditionellen Treiber das nicht stützen", sagte Suki Cooper, Rohstoffexpertin bei Barclays Capital. Die Suche nach einem sicheren Hafen überwiege. Der Ansturm der Investoren macht auch die infolge der Wirtschaftsflaute stark gesunkene Nachfrage nach Schmuck mehr als wett.

Goldminenbetreiber wie Anglogold Ashanti reagieren auf den Preisanstieg mit dem Verkauf von Absicherungspositionen. Mit solchen Kontrakten können sie sich vor möglichen Preiseinbrüchen schützen - profitieren aber auch nicht von steigenden Preisen. Allerdings verlangsamt sich dieses "Dehedging" zusehends. Nach Angaben der auf Edelmetalle spezialisierten Researchfirma GFMS vom Donnerstag schrumpften die Hedging-Positionen im vierten Quartal 2008 um 1,54 Millionen auf 15,52 Millionen Unzen. Das ist der geringste Rückgang des Jahres.

"Das Dehedging wird sich 2009 deutlich verlangsamen", so GFMS. Dies deutet aber nicht auf gestiegene Skepsis der Produzenten hin - im Gegenteil. "Da Investoren immer noch von der positiven Entwicklung bei Gold profitieren wollen, ist zu erwarten, dass Minenunternehmen das Dehedging wenn möglich beschleunigen werden", sagte GFMS-Analystin Rhona O'Connell. Da aber so viele Positionen bereits aufgelöst worden seien, bleibe nicht mehr viel Spielraum für einen größeren Abbau.

Es gibt allerdings Skeptiker. ETFs sorgten für Verzerrungen auf dem Goldmarkt, so Analysten der Deutschen Bank. "Der plötzliche Anstieg der Investitionen über mit physischem Gold hinterlegten ETFs führt unserer Meinung nach zu wachsenden Sorgen um die physische Verfügbarkeit von Gold", schrieben sie in einer Notiz. Sie erwarten, dass die Zinsen für die Leihe von Gold steigen - und Anleger bereit sein werden, für physische Goldlieferungen am Spotmarkt mehr zu zahlen als für einen Terminkontrakt. Normalerweise ist es andersherum, weil die Besitzer von Gold Kosten für Lagerung, Lieferung und Versicherung des Edelmetalls haben.

Dieses "Backwardation" genannte Phänomen ist äußerst selten und kommt nur unter sehr volatilen Umständen vor. Mitte Dezember trat es bereits auf. Es deutet darauf hin, dass die allgemeine Unsicherheit auch den Goldmarkt erfassen könnte, weil Zweifel aufkommen, ob Gläubiger ihr Geld auch zurückzahlen können. Die Volalitität auf dem Markt hat nach den Deutsche-Bank-Analysten seit Beginn der Krise stetig zugenommen.

Jep, ist schon länger im Gespräch und durchaus ernst gemeint. Golddeckung pur wird es aber sicher nicht sein. Die BRIC Staaten wollen eine Alternative zum Dollar. Die Koppelung der Währung mit Realwerten macht doch durchaus Sinn. Russen und Chinesen kaufen auch in großem Umfang Gold. Noch "Schlauere" verkaufen es.

Die EZB hat laut Pressemeldung 35,5 Tonnen Gold verkauft

01. April 2009, 21:27 CET

Die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) hat bis zum 31. März den Verkauf von 35,5 Tonnen Gold abgeschlossen, heißt es in einer offiziellen Pressemitteilung der EZB. Der Verkauf fand den Regeln des internationalen Goldabkommens entsprechend statt, welches den Verkauf von Goldreserven der unterzeichnenden Zentralbanken auf 500 Tonnen pro Jahr begrenzt.

Die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) hat bis zum 31. März den Verkauf von 35,5 Tonnen Gold abgeschlossen, heißt es in einer offiziellen Pressemitteilung der EZB. Der Verkauf fand den Regeln des internationalen Goldabkommens entsprechend statt.

Der Vertrag wurde am 27. September 2004 von der EZB und den nationalen Notenbanken der Eurozone sowie der Schweiz und von Schweden unterzeichnet und gilt bis September 2009. Insgesamt können damit 2500 Tonnen Gold verkauft werden. Im Jahr 1999 wurde erstmals ein Goldabkommen geschlossen um den Goldpreis zu stabilisieren. Insbesondere die Notenbank der Schweiz und die Bank of England hatten in dieser Zeit mehrere Tausend Tonnen Gold zu Dumpingpreisen, die teils bei weniger als einem Drittel des heutigen Preises lagen, auf den Markt geworfen und damit den Goldpreis noch weiter gedrückt.

Mittlerweile kehrt sich der Trend allerdings um, und neben privaten Investoren kaufen auch mehrere Zentralbanken, insbesondere die russische, wieder Gold um ihre Reserven angesichts der Unsicherheiten im Weltfinanzsystem zu diversifizieren.

Tumi Explores Large Area of Silver-Gold Anomalies at El Colorado, Mexico

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Mar 31, 2009 (Marketwire via COMTEX) ----Tumi Resources Limited (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TM)(OTCBB:TUMIF)(FRANKFURT:TUY). David Henstridge, President, announces the results of a reconnaissance soil sampling program conducted on the Company's wholly-owned 7,613 hectare El Colorado property located about 45 km southeast of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. El Colorado abuts the northern boundary of the licences covering the now closed La Colorada Mine, previously operated by Eldorado Gold Corporation and currently being explored by Pediment Gold Corp. La Colorada Mine opened in 1994 and was reported to produce up to 65,000 ozs of gold per year from an open-pit, heap-leach operation before it was closed in 2001. Hematite alteration, exhibiting strong red coloration at La Colorada Mine, continues to the north into El Colorado.

The Company's property is underlain by Paleozoic and Mesozoic marine and clastic sediments which have been intruded by dioritic to granitic phases producing widespread hornfels, skarn and mineralization in the sedimentary rocks over several km. Numerous old artesanal and some more recent mine workings exist throughout the property.

The broad area of hornfels, skarn and quartz-hematite alteration found along the southwestern portion of the property was tested with 8 lines of soil samples over a strike length of 2.8 km. The lines ranged from 1.1 km to 2.3 km in length, and the survey covered an area just over 10 square km. A total of 628 samples were collected. A few old drill sites were also found near the southeastern end of this zone on an old working known as the El Frances mine, but no information about them has yet been found.

Coincident anomalous values in silver, lead and arsenic occur in 6 of the lines over a 1.8 km strike length. The anomalous zone is up to 1 km wide in the southeasternmost line and remains open in that direction. Ten of the soil samples were analyzed for gold with results ranging from 0.01 to 0.36 g/t. These preliminary results are very encouraging and further enhance this project.

Mr Henstridge stated: "Our continuing work in Sonora has identified a precious metal system in close proximity to a large historic gold mine and justifies immediate further work. The Company's senior geological staff is currently on-site to determine the next work program."

The qualified person for Tumi's projects, David Henstridge, has visited the El Colorado property and has verified the contents of this news release.

On behalf of the Board,

China stockte Goldreserven unbemerkt auf 1054 Tonnen auf


25. April 2009, 14:58 CET

China hat seine Goldreserven in den vergangenen Jahren insgeheim um drei Viertel aufgestockt. Nach Angaben der staatlichen Nachrichtenagentur Xinhua kletterten die Reserven seit 2003 um 76 Prozent. Mit 1 054 Tonnen hat die Volkrepublik China nun die fünftgrößten Goldreserven weltweit und hat dabei die Schweiz, Japan und die Niederlande hinter sich gelassen. Die Goldreserven entsprechen in etwa einem Marktwert von 30,9 Milliarden Dollar. Der Goldpreis stieg nach der Bekanntgabe der Nachricht vorübergehend an, bevor er sich am Nachmittag bei 908,60 Dollar pro Unze einpendelte.


Goldreserven werden immer wichtiger, denn das Risiko der Geldentwertung steigt durch Verschuldung und Inflationgefahr.

Peking verfügt nach eigenen Angaben mit 1 950 Milliarden Dollar über die größten Währungsreserven weltweit. Da ein Großteil davon in Dollar gehalten wird, ist China abhängig von Wertentwicklungen des Greenback. Zuletzt äußerten sich mehrere Offizielle der Volksrepublik kritisch zur steigenden Staatsverschuldung der Vereinigten Staaten. Allen voran gab Premierminister Wen Jiabao öffentlich seine Sorge vor einem Dollar-Verfall kund. Der chinesische Notenbankpräsident wiederum regte die Schaffung einer neuen Leitwährung auf Basis der Sonderziehungsrechte des Internationalen Währungsfonds (IWF) an.

Zu den Käufern von Rohstoffen könnte bald auch der Staatsfonds China Investment Corp. (CIC) gehören. CIC-Vizepräsident Jesse Wang kündigte bereits an, dass der Fonds sich bei unterbewerteten Rohstoffen engagieren werde. Zhang Guobao, Leiter der Energiebehörde sprach sich bereits im März dafür aus, statt in großem Still Dollar lautende Vermögenswerte lieber Gold zu kaufen.

Pediment Reports Metallurgical Testing at Los Planes with Over 80% Gold Recovery
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 20, 2009 -- Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ and OTCBB:PEZGF) (the "Company") is pleased to report on gold recovery results from column leach testing of oxidized material ("oxide") from the Los Planes discovery within the San Antonio gold project in Baja California Sur. The column leach tests were performed on gold mineralized oxide material retained from portions of eight HQ core drill holes that were shipped as a composite sample to Metcon Research Laboratories located in Tucson Arizona.

The results are based on a 111 day leach cycle, from a composite sample of HQ drill core crushed to two sizes. The coarser material of minus 37.5 mm (1.5 inches) returned 75% gold recovery, and the sample crushed to 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) returned 81% gold recovery.

Column Gold Crush Size Calculated Head Cyanide Lime
Leach Test Recovery 80% Passing Grade, Gold Consumption Consumption
CL-01 81% 3/8 inch 0.87 g/t 0.06 Kg/t 1.8 Kg/t
CL-02 75% 1-1/2 inch 0.81 g/t 0.06 Kg/t 1.6 Kg/t

Please click on the following link to view the entire column test report:
http://www.pedimentgold.com/i/pdf/MetconReport.pdf

Additional column leach testing of material from the mixed oxide-sulphide sample of the Los Planes mineral deposit is nearing completion. Column leach testing of material from the sulphide zone, which began more recently, is about mid-way through the leach trial. Results from both of these additional tests will be reported once completed. The company views the results from the oxide testing as very favourable and continues to work towards a planned 100,000 tonne bulk leach test later this year.

Pediment is also pleased to announce that it will commence a second phase work program at the La Colorada site, located 40 kilometres southeast of Hermosillo. The program will include drilling to determine open pit mineralization ready for open pit mining, as well as to continue exploring deeper high-grade targets to follow-up on drill results reported by Pediment on February 17, 2009. The Company will release additional details of this program in the coming weeks.

In June of 2008 the Company released the results of an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource study of the San Antonio project which is based on drill results completed prior to the end of 2007. This study calculated an Inferred Mineral Resource of 30.58 million tonnes averaging 1.32 g/t gold at Los Planes and of 5.62 million tonnes averaging 0.83 g/t gold at Las Colinas (for an aggregate total of 1.45 million gold ounces) both at a 0.4 g/t cut-off grade. All results of later drilling between early to mid 2008 of approximately 16,500 meters on both mineral deposits will be incorporated in future resource studies.

Gary Freeman, President of Pediment Gold Corp., states, "The Company has been very diligently working with the Ejido at San Antonio to finalize an agreement allowing long term surface access rights including test mining and production related activities. The agreement is expected to be concluded soon. The Company has now assembled an experienced pre-development mining team to conclude all relevant permitting issues. Pediment has also committed to a number of work and expansion drill programs for this year, at both La Colorada and San Antonio. Pediment is also pleased to report that is has devoted additional time to evaluating numerous projects that have become available in the current depressed market environment."

Melvin Herdrick, VP Exploration and Director, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved this release.

Pediment Gold's Two Paths to Production
By Eric Pratt
MidasLetter.com
Wednesday, April 22, 2009

Pediment Gold Corp.'s (TSX:PEZ) was formed in late 2005 to exploit precious metals mining opportunities in Mexico. Since then, the company has moved two projects from grass roots exploration into mine and resource development, and expanded its portfolio of exploration targets through acquisition and staking.

The company's principle focus is on the San Antonio project, which recently saw 80% recovery of gold from metallurgical tests in preparation for production of gold. The San Antonio project is located on the Baja Peninsula, adjacent to the historic mining town of San Antonio and 40 km southeast from the port city of La Paz. Good paved roads traverse most of the project area and a high voltage power line crosses through it. The 100%-owned project covers 48,715 ha and 14 km (about 9 miles) of favorable geological trend. In the late 1990s Echo Bay Minerals located and partly tested the Colinas gold resource that is contained by the company's staked ground.

San Antonio, Baja, Mexico
In June of 2008 the Company released the results of an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource study of the San Antonio project which is based on drill results completed prior to the end of 2007. This study calculated an Inferred Mineral Resource of 30.58 million tonnes averaging 1.32 g/t gold at Los Planes and of 5.62 million tonnes averaging 0.83 g/t gold at Las Colinas (for an aggregate total of 1.45 million gold ounces) both at a 0.4 g/t cut-off grade. All results of later drilling between early to mid 2008 of approximately 16,500 meters on both mineral deposits will be incorporated in future resource studies.

Pediment has now completed a total of 37,000 metres of drilling that provided data for the 43-101 report, and demonstrates the presence of two large gold mineralized resources, and the latest results open the potential for a connection between the Los Planes and Las Colinas zones, where more drill targets will be tested in a second phase drill program.

"Our next phase is to extract a bulk test sample of 100,000 tonnes which will give us real data with respect to crushing sizes as well as chemical consumption which are an important part of identifying costs at San Antonio to make sure it is a profitably mined heap leach operation, said company president Gary Freeman. "We don't feel that with the experience at the corporate level spending time or money on a feasibility study is prudent as its only going to take approximately $8 million get it producing, so that time and money is better spent compressing the timeline to cash flow."

"Currently we are negotiating Ejido at San Antonio to finalize an agreement allowing long term surface access rights including test mining and production related activities. The agreement is expected to be concluded soon," he added.

"We expect to produce 35,000 to 45,000 ounces of gold within two years at San Antonio. After that, we expect that with additional investment we will be able to bring production up to higher level of gold production annually."

In August 2008 Pediment also acquired the El Triunfo Mineral Reserve, a past producing district of gold-silver vein system which has been without exploration for about 95 years. The concessions have more than an 8-km long common border with the existing Pediment Baja ground.

Mr. Freeman says, "This area of the concession offers very good exploration potential as this has been a producing mine site off and on over 400 years. We have also acquired with the purchase 700,000-800,000 tonnes of mineral rich dumps and although this was not the core reason to purchase the area we are convinced that there is more where the dump material came from. "

La Colorada
The La Colorada gold mine project is located adjacent to the town of La Colorada and about 40 km southeast by paved Highway from the city of Hermosillo.

During the main historic mining period from 1876-1914 the production of more than 3 million ounces of gold was recorded, making La Colorada Mexico's biggest mine for many years. In 1990 the Mexican Geological Service (SGM) measured 1.5 million tons of tailings that were utilized at the start of the open pit production by Eldorado Gold (NYSE:EGO) in 1993. The last formal resource estimates for the open pit project were done by Eldorado in 2000 and were recorded at about 550,000 oz .

Earlier this year Pediment announced results of an initial study that was conducted to develop new data to target the expansion of know resources and to test for new zones of mineralization. During this study the company worked on four key areas to the historic open pit mine, including drilling, mapping and bench sampling. Three drill holes that were completed at the Gran Central block indicate the continuation of the vein zone at a depth beginning at approx. 200 meters Data pertaining to both open pit potential and high grade underground resource potential are also being reviewed and evaluated for a possible mining scenario.

Power has been hooked up again to the buildings, and a base line study has been completed to assess environmental liabilities left from past production. , Pediment is contemplating permitting and the reactivation of the existing surface workings to test the integrity of the existing pads while creating some limited cash flow. While this is not the ultimate goal or the scope of the project the company feels that in the short term the possibly of substantial cash flow is possible this is because for the most part the project is still in good shape and with some work could be back producing a limited amount of ore .

"The real gem here," Mr. Freeman states, "is the underground opportunity. We think the true potential of the mine lies here and feel that with the this is a major high grade target (2-3 million ounces gold) that is supported with many years of data collected ands stored in the building at the site

Mr. Freeman stated, "Based on the 500 plus drill holes that El Dorado completed during their ownership, we have a pretty good understanding of the geology underground. So we think the most efficient way to explore it from an economic standpoint will be to drill it from underground as today 43-101 requirements would make it very expenses to drill long core holes from surface considering the required spacing.

There are three pits in two main areas at the LaColorada Grand Central block we estimate based on the engenerring studing appx 240,000 Ozes these are not 43-101 but again well identified ans"We also have 350,000 ounces under the (El Creston) pit that is buried under 6 - 7 million tonnes of waste, so that presents a bit of problem, but that will add to our production from La Colorada down the road. Our first ore will be leached from wall rock surrounding the older pits, where we know that some of the ore is high grade up to 10 grams per tonne, however most of the minable rock is of a lesser grade..

Management
Gary Freeman has over 23 years of valuable experience in the industry by starting out to study fundraising, leadership & management and the Canadian Securities Course which subsequently led him to spend time and gain his experience in the Brokerage industry with C.M. Oliver. Prior to accepting a commitment to Pediment, Mr. Freeman successfully prepared Wealth Minerals Ltd. for development into an established junior exploration company.

Another key member of the team is the company's Chairman, Chester Millar, who was instrumental in the building of Glamis Gold which was purchased by Goldcorp (NYSE:GG) for $9.5 billion in 2006. He was also central to El Dorado Gold's success in Mexco, and is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost open pit mine operators.

Glanz der Goldminenfonds verblasst
von Olaf Wittrock
Teil 2: Wie sich die Minenkurse weiter entwickeln werden

Wie sich die Minenkurse weiter entwickeln werden, darüber gehen die Meinungen auseinander. Simon Nöth, Fondsanalyst bei Morningstar, warnt davor, sich allein aufgrund steigender Goldpreise zum Kauf eines Minenfonds hinreißen zu lassen. "Nicht nur Angebot und Nachfrage, sondern auch politische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen beeinflussen die Kurse, sodass eine Prognose äußerst schwer ist." Da für Anleger im Euro-Raum bei jeder Goldspekulation auch noch das Risiko von Währungskursverlusten hinzukommt, rät Nöth zu äußerster Vorsicht: "Goldminenfonds sind nur etwas für sehr erfahrene Anleger mit ausgeprägter Risikoneigung."

Graham Birch, Leiter des Rohstoffteams der US-Fondsgesellschaft Blackrock, ist da weitaus optimistischer. Wirtschaftliche Unsicherheit und langfristig steigende Weltnachfrage aus der Schmuckindustrie würden nicht nur den Goldkurs weiter steigen lassen. Er geht davon aus, dass sich dies auf längere Sicht auch in den Gewinnerwartungen der Minenbetreiber niederschlägt, mithin in den Börsenkursen. "Die Aktienbewertungen preisen derzeit eher die Fortsetzung eines trostlosen Szenarios ein", sagt Birch. "Für Mutige könnte das aktuelle Kursniveau daher eine günstige Kaufgelegenheit darstellen."

Allzu sicher dürfen Anleger sich nicht fühlen. So verläuft die Nachfrage nach physischem Gold nicht einheitlich. Zwar gibt es Anzeichen, wonach die Schmuckindustrie in Indien wieder zulegt, andererseits berichten Experten, dass in Hongkong trotz rückläufiger Preise nur geringes Kaufinteresse zu verzeichnen sei. Und so warnt auch Birch: "Rohstoffaktienfonds sind ziemlich anfällig für Preisschwankungen."

Peter Zihlmann: Junior Gold and Silver Mining Stocks a Bargain?
Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks May 05, 2009 - 04:43 PM

By: The_Gold_Report

Commodities

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWhat to buy—gold or gold shares? While many argue that bullion is the better investment, Peter Zihlmann of P. Zihlmann Investment Management makes a compelling case for gold shares with a focus on junior miners. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Peter explains how gold shares have actually outperformed the yellow metal at a ratio of 5-to-1 since the start of the bull market.

The Gold Report: In Sierra Madre Gold & Silver Fund's Q1'09 quarterly statement you state, "Junior gold and silver mining companies are at bargain levels." Can you talk about your outlook for gold, and why you think the juniors are bargains?

Peter Zihlmann: Gold and gold shares do not move in a parallel fashion. Sometimes gold is leading, and at other times the gold shares lead. Gold shares over the long term show a far better performance than the metal—in fact, since the start of the bull market, gold shares have outperformed gold at a ratio of 5-to-1. We not only believe the long-term up-trend for gold is positive, but also that technical indicators for equities are improving and indicate a heavily oversold market.

The HUI Gold Bugs Index, which represents a portfolio of 15 major gold mining companies, recently dropped to its 2002 level, when gold traded between $250 and $350, but has since regained almost 115%. Gold stocks are now outperforming gold; however, many companies are still trading for the value of their liquid assets.

We are not surprised that the gold shares are moving up strongly, outperforming gold, because they had fallen to an unrealistically low level based on their outlook for earnings, production or reserves. Gold and silver shares were sold indiscriminately when the financial crisis erupted. Sellers totally ignored the fundamental aspects in selling their shares; they just needed to raise cash.

The NAV of our Fund, The Timeless Precious Metal Fund, increased 1.0% in April 2009. The price of gold went down 3.2%, while the price of silver receded 4.2%, respectively. I think it is significant that the NAV of the Timeless Precious Metal Fund, which seeks out junior miners to add to the portfolio, went up in April while the majors represented by the three indices dropped by about 8%. This shows that the juniors have been catching up. However, many still remain at their 2002 level, even though the price of gold has increased by 250% and the price of silver by 175% during the same period.

TGR: Why do you focus on junior minors instead of major producers in your portfolio?

PZ: Juniors have more price appreciation potential compared to majors because it is easier for them to increase reserves or resources, while the majors struggle to replace what they produce. Majors are expensive, too, because the juniors are too small for big institutions to buy them, so the big money goes for the majors. As a junior grows into a mid-tier, more big money can invest in them.

TGR: There are several junior miners in your portfolio. What are your criteria for including companies in your funds? And what's the difference between your two funds?

PZ: Other funds often invest in physical gold or major companies. Since it is easy for an individual to buy physical gold, he does not need a fund to do it for him. It is also easy for anyone having an interest in this sector to buy a few major stocks. It is difficult, however, to put together a portfolio of juniors for many reasons, including lack of funds for proper diversification, lack of time to select and follow companies, no personal access to management, or no possibility to visit mine sites.

What are our criteria in selecting companies? We believe value is created through discovery of mineral deposits and bringing them into production. A large portion (80%) of our Portfolio is composed of producing companies, companies approaching near-term production and companies that have already drilled-up a significant resource (1 million ounces to start with). These latter companies have decided not to go into production, in spite of having substantial mineral reserves. Their aim is to prove up a substantial resource in the hope that one of the majors will take them over—at a substantial premium to the cost of exploration.

TGR: As a European, do you believe your investment strategy is different from most North American fund managers?

PZ: It may be that North American funds concentrate more on North America. On the other hand, one of our funds, The Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Venture Fund, concentrates on companies that only have properties in Mexico, one of the highest rated mining countries in the world.

TGR: I see you own companies with properties in various jurisdictions. Do you look for companies in specific countries, or is it more about management, or simply ounces in the ground?

PZ: Management is of upmost importance because good management can obviously manage all the risks associated with mining. For example, there are lots of ounces in the ground in Africa but we tend to stay away because of the political problems. One company, operating in Tanzania, was recently victim of an armed robbery.

TGR: Can you give us an overview of your favorite companies?

* Orko Silver Corp. (TSX.V:OK) - has been steadily increasing its silver deposit in Mexico and has drilled up a resource of more than 200 million ounces of silver and it keeps growing. Their recent agreement with Pan American takes away many of the funding risks that a company that is not in production has. And Coeur d’Alene Mines (NYSE:CDE) recently completed the purchase of Palmerejo for US$1.1 billion and paid $4.45 per ounce of silver (Ag-Eq oz). We believe a share price four times higher than the present will become reality one day.
* Romarco Minerals (TSX.V:R) - has purchased the historic Haile mine in South Carolina where they are on the road to a 5 million ounce gold deposit, which may grow much bigger.
* Great Panther Resources (TSX:GPR) - operates the great historic mine in Guanajuato, Mexico, where more than 1 billion ounces of silver has been mined. Great Panther believes that this deposit could contain another 500 million ounces. Nevertheless, it will take a higher silver price to explore aggressively.
* Minefinders Corporation (NYSE.A:MFN) (MFL.TO) - Minefinders has a bright future. They have a resource of more than 5 million ounces of gold and 250 million ounces of silver. In addition they have more than $20 million in cash and more than $20 million in working capital, plus positive cash flow.
* Gold Resource Corp. (OTCBB:GORO) (FSE:GIH) - has a high-grade gold deposit (10g/t) in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Starting production during the first half of this year, they will generate a significant profit, of which one-third is expected to be paid out in dividends. We believe that the market does not recognize the potential of this company.
* West Timmins Mining Inc. (TSX:WTM) - has great properties in Mexico and West Timmins where recent excellent drill results have been announced.
* Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR) (NYSE.A:EXK) - One of the premier silver producers in Mexico with an appetite to grow quickly into a mid-tier producer.
* Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ) (OTCBB:PEZGF) (FSE:P5E) - already has a resource of 1.45 million ounces of gold and good exploration potential in one of the best gold belts. Mine construction is scheduled for 2010.
* SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) - should be in production this year and set the ground for further rapid expansion in Sonora, Mexico.
* Rubicon Minerals Corp. (TSX:RMX) (NYSE.AMEX:RBY) - is uniquely positioned among junior explorers in the marketplace with an advanced 100%-controlled project (Phoenix Gold Project) and large camp land holdings under option to Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd., Solitaire Minerals Corp. and Redstar Gold Corp. Armed with a significant treasury, Rubicon plans $11 million of drill focused programs in Red Lake in 2008.

In 1994, after working for various banks, Peter Zihlmann founded the P. Zihlmann Investment Management Company in Zurich, Switzerland. One of his specialties is precious metals and mining shares. He manages numerous funds through his company Timeless Funds . The Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Venture Fund concentrates on precious metals companies mining in Mexico, and the Timeless Precious Metal Fund, which seeks out junior miners to add to the portfolio.

Pediment Announces Second Work Program at La Colorada
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 14, 2009 -- Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ and OTCBB:PEZGF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce a new work program which will commence in early June at the Company's 100%-owned La Colorada Gold mine project, located approximately 40 km southeast of Hermosillo in Sonora, Mexico. The Company plans to utilize both reverse circulation and diamond drilling in the two work phases, totalling approximately 8,000 metres. Based on studies of historic and new data, the Company plans to evaluate areas of near surface gold mineralization for its open pit heap leach potential, as well as explore extensions of vein-type, higher grade gold mineralization.

RC drilling program for near-surface targets

The proposed RC-drill program will help to define and extend known near-surface mineralization where quick-to-start open pit mineable ore can be identified and added to the leach process facility. The existing processing facility is being evaluated for operational start-up. Trenching in the pit margin will also be used to obtain information in certain areas. The purpose and goal of the RC drill phase is to use drilling grids to outline gold bearing ore in four key locations:

(1) Southern and eastern extension from Creston pit areas where previous Eldorado drilling and systematic, continuous pit-wall sampling suggest extensions of gold mineralization exist.

(2) North-eastern extension of vein zones outside Creston pit area including the nearby La Verde surface mineralized area where nearby drilling in 2008 returned a maximum intercept 1.5 metres of 518 g/t Au (refer to February 17, 2009 news release).

(3) Easterly extension of La Colorada and Gran Central vein zones including the intermediate area. Pit wall sampling has identified gold values in the walls of these two vein-pit zones that account for a wide zone of near surface gold readily accessible. These areas will be tested to block out a resource and check leachability of precious metals.

(4) Closer spaced drilling in the higher-grade part of the Veta Madre area. Blocking out of the mineable ore in the Veta Madre zone will allow planning for possible exploitation of the near one gram per tonne gold bearing area. During 2008, drill hole LCOL-R11 intercept 42.2 metres of 0.64 g/t gold and 7.52 g/t silver (refer to February 17, 2009 news release).


Diamond drilling for high-grade veins

The second phase of this work program will consist of core drilling. The objective is to confirm, over broad intervals, the existence of underground vein gold mineralization in three main areas. These areas are extensions of the vein zone within the two main blocks that contain the Creston and Gran Central veins, and a third zone west of the Gran Central block where several old shafts prospected nearly barren epithermal veins to about 25 metres depth. An example of the targeted extension is the intercept in 2008 RC drill hole (LCOL-R17) that cut 1.5 meters of 19.3 g/t Au and 447 g/t Ag in 4.6 m averaging 10.1 g/t Au and 323 g/t Ag in the extension of the Gran Central vein zone (refer to February 17, 2009 news release).

Drilling in this phase is designed to confirm the presence of high grade vein zones in deeper segments not reachable by open pit. Confirmation of high grade veins with core will also allow limited metallurgical testing of the vein material, more detailed planning for underground access and provide geotechnical data. Part of this drilling will target areas that have not seen prior exploration.

The Company also announces it has engaged a qualified mining engineer on a consulting basis, to evaluate the production facility at La Colorada. This work will focus on assessing the state and capability of the metallurgical facilities including pond liners, leach pads, and mechanical segments of the plant, conducting a full environmental assessment of the mine, and directing a program to test ore and stockpiled material previously mined by Eldorado Gold Corp.

About La Colorada

La Colorada has been recognized by the Company as a large historic gold mining district with the potential for a large quantity of producible gold-silver mineralization. The project's character is similar to other notable Mexican gold-silver mines producing ore from epithermal vein zones that are exemplified by Tayoltita operations (Goldcorp) and the Cienega mine (Fresnillo-Peñoles). Estimated production from La Colorada is mainly from pre-1914 and is over 3.3 million ounces of gold, plus 35 million ounces of silver. At the Tayoltita mine, estimated total production to date is 10.3 million ounces of gold and 707 million ounces of silver (average yearly production of 147,200 ounces of gold), while Cienega has produced approximately 1.5 million ounces of gold and has about 1.2 million ounces of gold in reserves with a probably large remaining resource. La Colorada's open pit mine closed when the gold price was below 300 dollars per ounce in 2002, while the Cienega and Tayoltita underground mines continued production through the present.

The Company's President & CEO Gary Freeman states, "We are excited to get back to work at the La Colorada project. While the company has been quiet as of late with respect to exploration due to the recent down turn in the sector, the Company has preserved its cash and is fully funded with $15 million in the bank."

Melvin Herdrick, VP Exploration and Director, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved this release.

Hallo,

wo sind denn all die Pediment Anhänger? Nichts mehr los hier im thread. Keiner mehr investiert?
Bin zwar nur stiller Mitleser, freue mich jedoch immer über informative Beiträge.
Ich denke, dass wir im Zuge der zukünftigen Goldpreisentwicklung (nach oben) hier früher oder später wieder neue Höchstkurse sehen werden. Wenn nicht in 2009, dann sicher in 2010. Der "Dornrößchenschlaf" von PEZ wird sicher bald der Vergangenheit angehören.
Ich sehe Pediment als krass unterbewertet (nahe cash Kurs)und bin langfristig (nicht zu knapp), nicht zuletzt aufgrund des hohen Explorationspotentials in PEZ investiert.

Grüsse an alle Investierten

Juniors he likes includes one that has soared 900% since November

[Editor’s note: For Part I of this article, please click here.]

By nature, Black Swans are rare and typically solitary. Defined two years ago by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Black Swans personify events that share three features: they come as a surprise, they have major impact, and they are later rationalized by hindsight as if they had been predictable. They aren’t necessarily bad and seldom appear in flocks, but as 321gold.com founder Bob Moriarty sees it, those darkening the horizon these days serve as harbingers of escalating chaos in financial markets. This particular breed isn’t exactly unpredictable—the automobile industry giants’ troubles are clear enough, for example—but it’s especially dangerous. What’s an investor to do? In this environment, Bob urges an ultra-conservative approach, and as in past interviews, he advises investing in tangibles (“preferably producing resource stocks”) after serious due diligence.

The Gold Report: We’re talking about May being a good time to ‘sell and go away’ except for the resource stocks. So if I look at various portfolios, what would you recommend at an aggregate level should be the allocation of an investor’s portfolio right now?

Bob Moriarty: That’s a really good question. Back in 1998 or 1999 I read something about investing the same percentage of your assets in gold and silver that you give the probability of a financial collapse. If you think there’s a 10% chance of financial collapse, you should put 10% of your assets into gold and silver. So we put 100% of our assets into gold and silver and that’s where we’ve stood ever since.

TGR: If we get a Black Swan and the market falls off another cliff—looking at an S&P of $450—won’t it take these stocks with it again?

BM: I don’t think so. Everybody has forgotten that gold did exactly what it was supposed to. Gold went from $1,030 an ounce in March of last year to $770 or $780. But while gold was going down 30%, everything else was going down 50% or 60% or 70%. What you’ve got is an enormous number of paper assets that actually have no real value and the system is going to shake itself out until we understand what things are worth.

In a little while, I’ll tell you about a company that was selling for 3½ cents a share in November. The stock had dropped 95% in five months. It took enormous courage to go in and buy that stock, but they have real assets. The people who invested have had a 900% return already.

There’s going to be an enormous transfer of wealth. I don’t care if my gold stocks go down next week because I’m not in it for next week. I’m not going to be selling stuff next week. If it got cut in half, I wouldn’t sell it. I’m in it for the long term and the day-to-day fluctuations are relatively meaningless.

TGR: Shall we go to some of those investment ideas that you want our readers to know about?

BM: Good idea. My favorite gold producer today is ATW Gold Corp. (TSX: V.ATW, Stock Forum). They are an advertiser and we own a lot of shares. Obviously, I’m biased, but I’ve known and followed these guys for three or four years. They have two mines in Australia, Burnakura and Gullewa. They’ve got a big drill program going on at Gullewa right now. They’re actually in production at Burnakura. They were picking up $50 million worth of mine and mill for $3 or $4 million. The purchases were brilliant. They pumped a lot of money into the ground. They built up the resource. They’re producing gold now. They’ll be cash flow positive in a matter of weeks. They’ll have the second mine in production, and should be doing about 100,000 ounces a year production in a year to 18 months.

TGR: And that stock has done well.

BM: It has. It went down to about 25 cents a share in October, November, December. It’s about 70 cents a share now. But it has a very young management, very good people and I think it will be good. What I want to tell people is the thing that’s important is these are just the stocks I know. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of really great stories out there, but it’s the time to figure out are these people going to mine something or are they just mining investors? I would like half of the juniors in business today to go totally out of business because over the last five years they have taken in tens of millions of dollars and blown it with absolutely nothing to show for it. Those are good companies to sell, not to own.

TGR: What are some of the other stocks you know that you like?

BM: The company I was telling you about, whose stock has produced a 900% return since November, is Avion Resources Corp. (TSX: V.AVR, Stock Forum). Avion has a property in Mali that they bought from Nevsun. Ten years ago, Nevsun had a market cap of $700 million, all based on this asset in Mali. Nevsun pumped in $170 million developing a resource. It got about a million ounces of gold outlined and built the mine, but they just couldn’t operate it profitably. I went there and I was quite impressed with the mine and the mill. I was very impressed with the people.

Nevsun sold it to Avion for $20 million a year ago. It got really interesting because Avion needed to pump $20 or $30 million into drilling and getting the mill back into commission and they needed the money in October, November, and December. Of course, you couldn’t steal money at that time, so they actually sold part of the deposit to Dynamite and ended up doing a merger with Dynamite. There are about 200 million shares outstanding on the stock, and it’s about 37 cents today. They will be producing 70,000 to 75,000 ounces this year and in 18 months should be producing 200,000 ounces a year. This is going to be the next mid-tier. Other than the fact that the number of shares is a little unwieldy, it’s an absolutely wonderful story nobody knows anything about.

TGR: What’s the political risk there?

BM: Pretty close to zero. Mali does a deal on every deposit. The government has a 20% carried interest and they have a 6% NSR, so they have a vested interest in seeing that they produce as much gold as possible. Believe it or not, Mali is the third biggest producer of gold in Africa. South Africa has to be number one and Tanzania probably would be number two. But Mali has a number of mines. It’s a very undeveloped country. There’s very little there in the way of infrastructure, but gold provides a substantial amount of revenue to the government. So politically I think there’s zero risk.

TGR: Any other companies that you would suggest our readers look at?

BM: The Mexican silver companies. If you’re a silver bug, Mexico has the biggest silver mine in the world down at Fresnillo, which produced about 30 million ounces a year. There are a whole bunch of companies— First Majestic Silver Corp. (TSX: T.FR, Stock Forum), Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX: T.EDR, Stock Forum),Great Panther Resources (TSX: T.GPR, Stock Forum)—probably 10 or 15 really good stories in Mexico. I don’t think you could go wrong. Mexico had very little mining going from the time of the Revolution. From about 1910 until 1995, it was pretty much closed to outside investors. It’s opened up now. It’s far safer politically than the United States is and less bureaucratic than most areas in Canada, so it’s a very attractive place to invest.

TGR: What’s the latest with Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX: T.PEZ, Stock Forum)? They were going to do an offering and then pulled back. What’s the story there?

BM: They weren’t able to raise as much money as they wanted to. They didn’t have to do the financing. I personally am glad that they didn’t do the financing because they didn’t need the money. They have enough to get into production in the Baja. They have a really good guy who used to run Castle Gold, who’s now in charge of getting San Antonio into production. I’d like to see a year or 18 months from now them getting into production. I haven’t heard much lately, but the last time I talked to them about two months ago everything was moving forward.

TGR: Any updates on Castle Gold Corporation (TSX: V.CSG, Stock Forum)?

BM: Castle is still progressing. It has enormous potential, both at the Castle Mine and San Jose. Castle Gold could be a real sleeper.

TGR: It’s had a heck of a move since last fall, almost at a 52-week high.

BM: It’s a really good story, but I would like readers to understand is that there are dozens and dozens and dozens of good stories. Avion is very funny because here’s a 3½-cent stock; you’d think these are going out of business, but they picked up a million ounces of gold for $20 million. How can you beat that? There’s dozens of good stories. If somebody will do a little work and think for themselves, there’s an opportunity to make money like they never even dreamed of before.

TGR: And Timmins Gold Corp. (TSX: V.TMM, Stock Forum)? Is that another example of that play in Mexico you were talking about?

BM: Timmins is very good. Its gold mine in Hermosillo is fairly close to getting into production. It needs to raise a little bit more money, but is moving full speed ahead and six months from now they’ll be in production. It’s another good story, good expansion capability.

TGR: So six months, that short. Great. And Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (TSX: V.FVI, Stock Forum)?

BM: Fortuna is near Oaxaca and also has a silver-lead-zinc mine in Peru that’s doing very well, which they’re getting no credit for whatsoever. They are building another silver mine and a mill near Oaxaca, with extremely high-grade silver. Fortuna is one of those companies that didn’t do a very good job telling their story, but they did a fabulous job of creating a story. Now they’re being a little more aggressive about telling their story. Fortuna is still really cheap.

TGR: Any U.S. companies? How about Evolving Gold (TSX: V.EVG, Stock Forum)?

BM: That’s a good one. Evolving Gold has just about as good a story as anybody I know. Rattlesnake Hills in Wyoming is the next potential Cripple Creek or Livengood. Rattlesnake Hills certainly has a potential—potential in big quotation marks—of 10 million ounces. In fact, it’s Evolving Gold that’s having the issues with the drill permit and getting the geologist in. The government in the United States has forgotten that their job is not to get in the way of business, but to make business possible.

If you like really big potential plays, International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (TSX: V.ITH, Stock Forum) in Alaska is absolutely another home run. They’ve outlined 10 million ounces of gold at Livengood.

Both Evolving Gold and International Tower Hill are great stories and big, big ounces. They have similar size deposits.

TGR: Any other companies come to mind that you think readers should be looking at?

BM: There are dozens and dozens and dozens of good companies. If you do some due diligence and go in and look at it, you will find some companies that are extraordinarily cheap.

Convinced that gold and silver were at a bottom eight years ago and wanting to give others a foundation for investing in resource stocks, Bob and Barb Moriarty brought 321gold.com to the Internet almost nine years ago.

China verbraucht 40% der weltweiten Goldproduktion

In den vergangenen Jahren ist die Goldproduktion Südafrikas, der USA, Australiens und Kanadas immer weiter gesunken: In den 1980er Jahren produzierten sie rund zwei Drittel der gesamten Weltproduktion, heute ist es weniger als die Hälfte. 2006 verzeichnete Südafrika als der weltweit größte Goldproduzent die niedrigste Produktion in 84 Jahren.

Mit dem Rückgang der Produktion ist die Nachfrage nach physischem Gold jedoch stetig gestiegen. Ein Großteil der Nachfrage stammt dabei von zumeist asiatischen Anlegern. Allein in Indien war eine um 80% gesteigerte Investition in Gold zu verzeichnen.

China - als die am schnellsten wachsende Wirtschaft der Welt - hat seinen Umgang mit Gold nachhaltig geändert. Der private Goldbesitz war über Jahrzehnte verboten. 2002 wurde die Goldbörse Shanghai eröffnet und seit kurzem ist das private Goldinvestment gesetzlich erlaubt. Betrachtet man die hohe Sparquote in China, dann ist Gold ein logisches Investment. In den kommenden Jahren könnten die privaten Goldinvestitionen Chinas auf einen Gesamtwert von rund 36 Mrd. US$ steigen. Zusätzlich dazu strebt die chinesische Regierung eine Aufstockung der Goldreserven an. Aufgrund dieser Entwicklungen wird China in der nahen Zukunft 40% der Weltproduktion verbrauchen.

Auch wenn die Goldrallye derzeit eine Verschnaufpause einlegt, wird Gold noch höhere Niveaus erreichen als wir es bei dieser Rallye bislang gesehen haben. Die wirtschaftlich starken Nationen werden zumindest kurzfristig eine Stabilisierung der Weltmärkte erreichen. Das Resultat könnte auf lange Sicht eine weitere Abwertung der Papierwährungen sein und somit Gold als Investitionsvehikel noch weiter bestärken.

Wie Investment Director Karim Rahemtulla sagt, könnte Gold auf über 6.000 US$ steigen. Der Verfall der Goldaktien über die letzten Wochen bietet eine Möglichkeit, bei jetzigem Einstieg hohe Gewinne zu verzeichnen, denn die Aktien werden sich in der Zukunft auf jeden Fall wieder erholen. Sobald die Investoren verstehen, dass eine Menge Geld in die Märkte fließt und gleichzeitig von der Inflation bedroht ist, wird Gold die nächste Rallye erleben. Genauso, wie man es bei anderen Krisen bereits erlebt hat.

Der Finanzsektor bricht massiv zusammen, in vielen Teilen der Welt ist die Inflation außer Kontrolle geraten und die Anleger haben das Vertrauen in den US-Dollar verloren. Und trotz dessen ist der Goldpreis im letzten Monat um 15% gesunken. Zusätzlich dazu sind die Aktien vieler Goldunternehmen in den letzten drei Monaten von den Hochs um 50% und mehr eingebrochen. Laut Rahemtulla ist dies eine klassische "Überreaktion" der Anleger.

Es scheint, als sei die Panik des Finanzsektors nun auf den Rohstoffsektor übergesprungen. Die nicht informierten Anleger verkaufen erst und denken später darüber nach.

Pediment Gold Corp.: Drill Testing Resumes at La Colorada Gold Mine Project

ShareThis | Respond to Editor | Print

Comtex



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 29, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) ----Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX: PEZ: 17.15, 0, 0%)(OTCBB: PEZGF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration and development drilling at its 100%-owned La Colorada Gold mine project has resumed. Additional supporting bench sampling has also been completed; results will be reported when available. The reverse-circulation drill is currently on site to test a number of areas, and has completed four drill holes to depths of about 60 metres at its first target. The focus of this short-hole program is to examine areas of the property containing adjacent workings and anomalous assay results from prior bench sampling. The objective is to add resources of shallow mineralization that have potential for mining, using the project's existing heap-leach facilities.

Drilling was initiated along the south pit wall area of El Creston pit, collared on the access ramp where prior continuous-chip bench sampling identified two broad areas of gold mineralization. Targeting in this area is based on the presence of an unnamed gold-bearing vein extending from the pit with a length of about 350 metres. The vein has a steep dip and is parallel to other veins in the Creston pit, and parts of it have workings including a shaft approximately 30 metres deep. The R.C. drill will continue to drill in the Creston pit's margins and easterly extension before moving to test a series of other shallow targets.

La Colorada is an epithermal-vein type, gold-silver district, which the Company believes is an outlier of the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental trend of gold-silver deposits that traverses much of central Mexico. Historic production from La Colorada has been mainly from underground workings prior to a cessation of mining during the Mexican Revolution. A total estimated output based on historic records, including from bulk mining between the mid 1990's to 2003, is over 3.3 million ounces of gold and 35 million ounces of silver. The project is located within excellent infrastructure, approximately 40 km southeast of Hermosillo, Sonora State, Mexico.

In an effort to keep shareholders up-to-date, the Company will be implementing a section on its website, which will provide general updates on the progress of the drill program at La Colorada.

Mel Herdrick, the Company's VP of Exploration and a director, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 who has read and approved this release.

On behalf of the board,

Gary Freeman, President & CEO

Gold - Was macht man jetzt?

Die lethargische Seitwärtsbewegung geht bei Gold weiter. In der zurückliegenden Handelswoche rückte das Edelmetall Stückchen für Stückchen an die 900 US-Dollar heran.

Bislang verläuft die Konsolidierungsbewegung beim Edelmetall in sehr geordneten Bahnen. Wir erwarten auch derzeit nicht, dass da noch eine große Abwärtsdynamik in den Markt kommen wird. Erst mit einem signifikanten Bruch der zentralen Unterstützung bei 870 US-Dollar muss mit weiterem Ungemach gerechnet werden. Insofern ist auch ein (temporäres) Unterschreiten der 900 US-Dollar zu tolerieren.

Die fundamentalen Rahmenbedingungen stellen sich für das Edelmetall derzeit durchwachsen dar. Vor allem die Entwicklung am Ölmarkt belastet. Allerdings sehen wir die Korrektur am Ölmarkt so langsam auslaufen. Das noch vorhandene Rückschlagspotential würden wir beispielsweise bei Brent C.O. auf 55 US-Dollar begrenzt sehen. Der US-Dollar präsentiert sich derzeit recht robust, sollte aber weiteren Jahresverlauf erneut zur Schwäche neigen.

Als wichtige Indikation gelten für uns die Zu- und Abflüsse der physisch besicherten Gold-ETFs. Während der größte Gold-ETF, der SPDR Gold Trust, zuletzt leichte Abflüsse zu verzeichnen hatte, legten die Bestände seiner europäischen Pendants leicht zu.

Um die eingangs gestellte Frage zu beantworten: Wir erwarten in der nächsten Zeit noch den einen oder anderen schwachen Tag bei Gold. Übergeordnet sollte es zunächst aber weiter seitwärts gehen. Schwache Tage bieten sicherlich auf mittlere und längere Sicht interessante Einstiegsgelegenheiten. Unser Kursziel von 1.200 US-Dollar für Ende 2009 sehen wir noch keineswegs wackeln. Aber erst ab Ende September sollte es dann aus unserer Sicht zu einer nachhaltigen Aufwärtsbewegung kommen.

Viele Goldminenaktien sind in den letzten Wochen deutlich zurückgekommen und weisen mittlerweile wieder recht attraktive Bewertungsniveaus auf. Schauen Sie sich einfach die Liste Ihrer Favoriten an. Wir hatten die unserer Meinung interessantesten Vertreter im nunmehr dritten Teil unserer Spezialreportserie zusammengestellt. Dieser kann jetzt über RohstoffJournal.de angefordert werden.

Pediment Gold Reports Positive Bench Sample Results from La Colorada, Mexico

View News Release in PDF Format

Vancouver, BC, August 12, 2009 - Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ, OTCBB:PEZGF, Frankfurt:P5E.F) (the "Company") is pleased to announce results from a recently completed bench sampling program at the Company's wholly owned La Colorada Gold Mine, in Sonora Mexico.

A total of 3,467 rock chip samples were collected from the historic El Creston, La Colorada and Gran Central pits, intersecting numerous zones of prominent quartz vein, iron oxide and sulphide mineralization exposed in the pit walls. The results are summarized in the table below and maps showing the sample locations are available on the Company website at www.pedimentgold.com.

Total Samples 3467
Highest Gold Value 288 g/t over 2m
Values > 10 g/t Au 16 samples Average 48.6 g/t Au
Values 5 > 10 g/t Au 26 samples Average 7.0 g/t Au
Values 1 > 5 g/t Au 201samples Average 2.1 g/t Au
Average of all samples 499 ppb Au

As shown in the table, 16 samples (approximately 6% of those samples over 1 g/t Au) returned grades exceeding 10 g/t Au; 26 samples (approximately 11% of those over 1 g/t) ranged between 5 and 10 g/t Au; and 201 samples (approximately 83%) ranged between 1 and 5 g/t Au. The highest gold grades encountered included 288 g/t Au and 104 g/t Au over 2 metre sample widths, taken from prominent vein zones at lower elevations in the El Creston pit.

The samples were generally continuous and varied from 0.4m to 4.0m in width, but averaged about 2 metres. Because of the great variation in orientation between the veins and pit walls, these are not true widths and composite widths have not been calculated. Maps posted on the website show that most veins in the La Colorada mine area have an east-northeast strike and dip between 45 and 55 degrees to the north, with the exception of a subvertical vein in the southern part of El Crestón pit. The veins zones typically vary in width from about 5 metres to approximately 40 metres.

As shown on the maps, most of the higher grade bench sample results reflect known vein zones visible within the pits. Wide areas are anomalous in gold, but the highest grade samples are generally restricted to discrete structures. In the Gran Central pit for example (Map 1), higher grade samples (up to 6.6 g/t Au) are clustered in the eastern and southwestern pit walls. At La Colorada (Map 2), the best grades (up to 8.9 g/t Au) are clustered on the eastern wall, and across a narrow slot in the far western pit area, corresponding to the La Colorada North Vein. At El Creston (Map 3), the highest grade samples (up to 288 g/t Au) cluster along slots in the southern and eastern pit walls, known as the Creston North and South Veins. These results indicate that significant mineralization was left behind by previous open pit mining, and suggest that good potential exists within the pit walls and along discrete structures for discovery of additional mineralization, which may be amenable to open pit and/or underground mining respectively.

The bench sampling program was conducted as one of the first steps towards identifying additional resources at the mine, and providing targets for follow up drilling. Historic underground production to 1914 was reported as more than 3 million ounces gold, and subsequent open pit heap leach operations by Eldorado Gold produced more than 300,000 ounces gold between 1993 and 2000. At that time, Eldorado estimated that some 600,000 oz gold remained, but this resource is not 43-101 compliant and has not been verified by a qualified person. The Company is therefore conducting more detailed work, including the ongoing RC and core drilling, which is intended to assess the historic estimate, test new zones identified by Pediment's bench sampling, and evaluate both shallow low grade and deeper high grade mineralization targets.

The previously announced drilling programs are continuing on schedule, with some 50 RC and 5 core holes completed to date. Bench samples were analyzed at ALS Chemex. Current RC and core samples are being analyzed by Inspectorate Labs, with sample prep conducted in Hermosillo MX, and fire assays performed in Reno NV. Pediment adheres to a strict QA/QC program utilizing standards, blanks and check samples. Results will be reported as they become available.

Melvin Herdrick, Vice President of Exploration and Director, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved this release.

Pediment Adds Ounces and Upgrades Resource at San Antonio

By: Marketwire .
Aug. 25, 2009 09:30 AM


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/25/09 -- Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: PEZ)(OTCBB: PEZGF)(FRANKFURT: P5E.F) ("Pediment" or the "Company") is pleased to give a progress report on the Company's wholly owned San Antonio Gold Project in Baja California Sur, Mexico. An updated 43-101 compliant resource estimate has added ounces and significantly upgraded the deposit, confirming 1.53 million ounces gold in the Measured and Indicated category, plus 111,000 ounces in the Inferred category (using a 0.4 g/t cut off). In addition, ongoing metallurgical studies (partially released April 20, 2009) have returned initial column leach tests showing strong 75-81% gold recoveries for Oxide type mineralization and up to 72% for Mixed (oxide/sulphide) mineralization.

Updated Resource

An updated resource estimate was recently performed by Giroux Consultants Ltd. of Vancouver BC, to incorporate infill drill holes not included in the first estimate, conducted by Derry Michener Booth and Wahl Consultants Ltd ("DMBW") in 2008 (previously announced June 16, 2008). This new estimate was based on 242 holes totaling 42,891 m and comprising 26,613 gold assays. The previous resource estimate by DMBW was based on 124 drill holes totaling 15,804 m and representing 14,609 assays. The new estimate is tabulated below, along with the previous estimate for comparison purposes. Both calculations used Ordinary Kriging and a range of gold grade cut offs. The values reported here are based on a 0.4 g/t gold cut off. A detailed report documenting the estimation methodology will be available on the website shortly.

As shown in the tables, the new estimate has added roughly 13% to total contained gold ounces, and upgraded essentially that entire amount into the Measured and Indicated category. Estimated grades are somewhat lower but tonnage has been increased significantly. The new estimate of Oxide gold ounces is lower than previously calculated, because the previous estimate lumped Oxide and Mixed (partially oxidized sulphide) material together. In the new estimate, a Mixed category has been broken out, and it can be seen that the combined total of new Oxide and Mixed gold ounces now exceeds the previous Oxide (lumped) total by roughly 10%.

Metallurgical Results

Ongoing metallurgical testing of gold mineralization from San Antonio has recently been completed by METCON Research of Tucson, Arizona. The latest phase of metallurgical testing involved open cycle column leach analyses of 2 composite samples, comprising one each of Sulphide and Mixed (oxide/sulphide) mineralization, to augment previous Oxide-only leach tests (announced April 20, 2009).

Combined results of the column leach tests are summarized in the table below. Cyanide concentration was held at 0.5 g/l for all samples, and leach time was 111 days for the Oxide samples, 120 days for the Mixed sample and 102 days for the Sulphide sample. The complete METCON report will be posted to the website shortly.

------------------------------------------------------------
Crush Calculated
Sample Type Size Head Grade Extraction Consumption
------------------------------------------------------------
Au Au NaCN CaO
g/t % Kg/t Kg/t
------------------------------------------------------------
CL-01 Oxide 3/8 0.87 80.65 0.06 1.80
------------------------------------------------------------
CL-02 Oxide 1 1/2 0.81 75.15 0.06 1.58
------------------------------------------------------------
CL-03 Mixed 3/8 0.85 71.87 0.33 1.84
------------------------------------------------------------
CL-04 Sulphide 3/8 2.98 47.10 0.45 0.92
------------------------------------------------------------


As seen in the table, Oxide sample gold recoveries ranged from 75 to 81% (for 1.5 and 3/8 inch crush sizes respectively) and Mixed sample gold recovery was almost 72%, which are both very encouraging. As is typical for Sulphide mineralization in column leach testing, results for the Sulphide sample test were significantly lower at 47%, but additional testing, evaluating different crush sizes, reagent concentrations and flow rates, could improve on these results.

Bottle roll tests were also conducted on the Mixed and Sulphide samples (as part of the column leach test protocol) and those results are summarized in the following table.

------------------------------------------------------------
Mesh Calculated Extraction
Sample Type Size Head Grade (72 hrs) Consumption
------------------------------------------------------------
Au Au NaCN CaO
g/t % Kg/t Kg/t
------------------------------------------------------------
BR-02 Mixed -10 0.89 79.89 0.27 2.09
------------------------------------------------------------
BR-03 Sulphide -10 2.69 63.23 0.70 1.38
------------------------------------------------------------


As seen in the table, bottle roll gold recovery after 72 hrs was 79% for the Mixed sample and 63% for the Sulphide sample. These positive results are generally similar to earlier results (reported July 10, 2008) when 72 hour tests returned results ranging from 62-70% recovery for Sulphide samples and 68-78% recovery for Mixed samples.

Discussion

Gary Freeman, President and CEO of Pediment stated, "We are very pleased that the updated estimate has confirmed a significant 1.64 million ounce gold resource at San Antonio, while maintaining a gold grade of 1 g/t. As importantly, the Oxide and Mixed contained gold ounces have increased and metallurgical recoveries for these categories are very positive. Ongoing metallurgical work continues to address improvements in Sulphide leaching and/or alternative scenarios for processing of the Sulphide mineralization. The Company is also making progress in negotiations for land and water rights and we expect to have agreements very soon."

The Company is planning further work to characterize mineralization, including additional column leach tests, grinding and hardness tests, and gold and sulphide mineralogy, in an effort to refine gold recoveries from Oxide, Mixed and Sulphide mineralization. Other well known processing methods, such as grinding and flotation, or Carbon In Pulp (CIP) leaching will also be evaluated to address Sulphide mineralization specifically. The Company is also planning a new drill program to begin this fall, to continue infill drilling and explore the Intermediate Area between Los Planes and Las Colinas, and to start testing the recently acquired and as yet untested Triunfo Trend.

Gold explorer to benefit from near term gold production at sites in Mexico

“As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information”

Mining in Mexico can now be described as perhaps better than ever. Mining has been carried on in Mexico since at least 950 AD when the Aztecs began taking gold and silver out of the ground.

A select few fortunate companies, like Vancouver based Pediment Gold Corp (TSX: T.PEZ, Stock Forum), are benefitting from friendlier mining policies in the country. Pediment was able to negotiate a deal to re-open one of Mexico’s most significant historical mines (La Colorada).It confirmed and expanded past resources, and is moving toward possible production in a very short time frame. Most of these mines and projects are close to all necessary forms of infrastructure.

In Mexico the best place to find gold and silver is at a former gold and silver mine, where modern engineering, geological modeling and drilling techniques were never implemented.

And with 85% of Mexico said to be mineralized (by whom?) there are considerable areas (how many?) yet to be explored utilizing modern exploration practices.

Pediment Gold Corp. scaled back its exploration expenditures after the global credit and equity markets imploded. Management went into preservation mode and has done an excellent job of safekeeping the treasury (they were intelligent enough to raise a lot of money when their share price was much higher than present) while doing all the low-cost things they could to keep their two leading projects, San Antonio and La Colorada, moving forward.

The company’s president and CEO Gary Freeman, states: “We are excited to greatly increase the work schedule at San Antonio and our La Colorada project. The company has preserved its cash and is fully funded with $14-million in the bank. Pediment has an extremely strong share structure and no debt. We feel it’s time to show the market just how strong our projects and team are.”

Since Pediment was formed in 2005 the company has moved its San Antonio project from grass roots exploration to a post discovery resource definition stage play. San Antonio has a 43-101 compatible Measured & Indicated resource of 1.53 million ouncesof gold. It also secured the El Triunfo Project adjacent to San Antonio and acquired the past producing La Colorada project with a non 43-101 compliant resource of close to 600,000 ounces of gold.

Pediment’s $14 million in cash makes up almost one third of its current market capitalization. The company’s share price has been base building in the + - .80 range for many months and has just recently started to move up.

Country risk

Mexico is a mining friendly nation with stable political and financial systems. Mexico has an exceptionally long mining history, excellent infrastructure and sensible, rational environmental policies. Mining rights are protected in the Mexican constitution and Mexico is a signatory to NAFTA which provides significant protection to Canadian mining companies working in Mexico.

Mexico has:

- The requisite geological setting
- Capitalistic and entrepreneurial economy
- Pro-mining federal and state governments
- A largely rural low-density population outside of the major cities
- Well-trained and experienced workers
- Low labor costs.

Share structure & treasury

PEZ has a well-managed share structure with 44.0 million shares outstanding and 48.0 million fully diluted. Insiders, family, and friends hold 18% of its shares with another 10% being held by various institutions.

There are no outstanding warrants; Pediment has 3.9 million options at exercise prices varying from 50 cents to $1.60.

Projects

Pediment has focused its efforts on its two main projects – the San Antonio gold project in Baja California Sur and the La Colorada gold-silver project in Sonora State, western Mexico.

San Antonio

The company's principle focus is on the San Antonio project. The San Antonio project is located on the Baja Peninsula, adjacent to the historic mining town of San Antonio and 40 km southeast from the port city of La Paz. The project area is well accessed by good paved roads and a high voltage power line crosses through it. The 100%-owned project covers 48,715 hectares and 14 km of favorable geological trend.

At present two deposits, Las Colinas and Los Planes have been discovered along a three km long shear zone more than 200 meters thick. Surface oxidation is 25-30 m deep in the Las Colinas zone and 100 m deep in the Los Planes zone. Recent (2008 program) holes drilled into the 600 meters that lie between the two deposits intersected gold mineralization suggesting possible continuous mineralization between the two discoveries.

Negotiations for long-term agreements pertaining to purchase of surface and water rights are ongoing. Once the negotiations are successfully concluded the permitting for bulk mining and heap leach test of 100,000 tonnes can begin. This large scale testing will be done in order to obtain specific economic data as well as a better understanding of the metallurgy of the deposit. If successful, permitting and construction are the next step.

San Antonio’s existing resource consists of three different mineralized zones: an oxide zone, a mixed zone of oxide and sulphide material and a sulphide zone. Metallurgical column leach testing, as part of the ongoing work initiatives, produced very favorable gold recoveries from the oxide and mixed portions (81% and 72%, respectively) of the ore body. Pediment is planning further metallurgical tests on the sulphide zone where initial recoveries were 47%.

San Antonio has considerable blue sky potential for additional growth. Firstly there’s the potential for the Los Planes and Las Colinas deposits to connect and secondly there’s the El Triunfo Project. The El Triunfo trend is a seven-kilometer-long series of historic high-grade gold and silver (along with lead and zinc) vein mines that were mined in the late 1800s to early 1900s. So while the near-term focus of the company is an open pittable oxide gold deposit at San Antonio, in the longer term there would appear to be opportunities from higher-grade underground targets.

La Colorada

The La Colorada project is located adjacent to the town of La Colorada and about 40 km southeast by paved Highway from the city of Hermosillo. The project was last in production in the 1990s (Eldorado Gold) and before that it operated between 1867 and 1914. The La Colorada mine was once the largest mine in Mexico and produced over 3 million ounces of gold as well as silver from underground material.

Eldorado did the last formal resource estimate for the open pit project in 2000 and it totaled 550,000 ounces.

PEZ purchased La Colorada in October 2007. Included were 1200 hectares of surface rights, water rights, and all surface mine and processing, and production facilities. Subsequently, an additional 18,000 hectares of concessions were obtained.

The company is in the middle of a drill program to evaluate areas of near surface gold mineralization for its open pit heap leach potential, as well as explore extensions of vein-type, higher grade gold mineralization. Drill results are pending.

Pediment plans to restart open-pit heap-leach production. But while near-term production is anticipated from lower-grade, near-surface oxides, the big upside could be the high-grade gold veins underneath the old pit and adjacent areas.

http://www.pedimentgold.com/s/AdvisoryBoard.asp

Conclusion

In these uncertain economic times, cash flow is king and Pediment is on track for gold production and cash flow in the near to mid-term at its two flagship projects.

Higher gold prices and a steady news flow (regarding exploration, drilling results and working towards production) from its two main projects should drive Pediment’s share price higher. Given its current gold resource and potential for expansion Pediment would seem to be strongly leveraged to future rises in the price of gold. I think Pediment Gold Corp. is worth watching and should be on every investor’s radar screen.

Pediment Clarifies Prior Resource Disclosure on La Colorada Property

Vancouver, BC, October 13, 2009 -- Pediment Gold Corp.

Frankfurt:P5E.F ("Pediment" or "the Company") is issuing the following news release to clarify its technical disclosure outlined in certain of its previous disclosures regarding the Company's La Colorada mineral property in Sonora Mexico as a result of a review conducted by the British Columbia Securities Commission.

On February 17, 2009 the Company issued a news release which discussed the Company's plan to target the expansion of what were stated to be "known resources" at La Colorada. The Company would like to clarify that the existing resource estimate for La Colorada is not current, and is a historical, resource estimate. Similarly, on May 14, 2009, the Company issued a news release which discussed the existing estimates and the Company's future exploration plans at La Colorada using the terms "ore" and "mineable ore", and refers to an evaluation for the start up of an open pit mine. The Company confirms that while the Company has published results of its exploration activities at La Colorada and management believes that the results from the ongoing exploration efforts justify continued exploration at La Colorada, the Company does not have a current resource estimate for the property nor has it confirmed the economic viability of the mineralization present at La Colorada.

The Pediment website and one previous news release, from October 29, 2007, cited resource quantities published in a news release by Eldorado Gold on February 29, 2000; specifically Pediment cited Eldorado's disclosure of 599,300 oz of gold in 21,534,300 tons of mineral resource with an average grade of 0.87 grams per tonne. A more detailed presentation of this historical resource data is set out in the table below. This more accurate and detailed data was recovered by the Company in the course of its review and re-organization of the prior mine data base, which without restatement may have led to conflicting and confusing statements about historical resources of the project. The Creston resource area is not included in any of these estimates or discussions.

A Creston property resource estimate was disclosed in investor materials previously posted on the Company's website reporting 8.8 million tonnes grading 1.18 grams of gold per tonne, but failed to state the resource classification categories or authorship. Further, this internally calculated resource estimate did not meet current NI 43-101 requirements for reporting resource estimates and should, therefore, not be considered to be a reliable disclosure. It is hereby retracted by the Company. The data on the Creston property will be reconsidered in accordance with CIM guidelines and NI 43-101 requirements, including a review of both prior and new data, and will be disclosed as a new resource estimate in approximately two months time, to be included in the same report as the planned update of the La Colorada and Gran Central resource estimates discussed below.

A report prepared for Eldorado by independent consultant Gary Giroux in 1999 on the La Colorada and Gran Central zones shows two of four calculation passes which are reported in the following table summarizing selected historical resources. (Gary Giroux, May 1999, Audit of the Resources Contained Within the Gran Central and La Colorada Zones, La Colorada Mine, Mexico).

Table of historical resource calculations for La Colorada and Gran Central by Giroux (1999)


This table uses mineral resource category terminology consistent with requirements of NI 43-101. The "97 EXP" model is an Eldorado kriged resource model based on 1997 surface data and widely space drilling. "Pass 1" by Giroux utilized a 45x45x15 meters search ellipse configuration and grade capping of blocks to 1 gram in the low grade zone. "Pass 4" by Giroux utilized 75x75x50 meters search ellipse configuration and included influence from blast holes. Giroux included silver grades for each resource category, but did not include the "Ag oz." column, which was calculated for this news release. Some differences of totals shown may occur due to rounding error.

Pediment has determined that the above-referenced February 2000 Eldorado news release with historical resource totals, contained sums of measured, indicated and inferred resources that differ from the information contained in the underlying report (Giroux 1999). The above table, which the Company believes is an accurate summary of these historical estimates, clarifies the disclosure of the 1999 calculated resources from that report.

Notwithstanding that the Company considers these historic calculations relevant to its own exploration planning, the Company cautions that these calculations were completed prior to establishment of NI 43-101 guidelines for resource estimation. Consequently, these historic results cannot be categorized as current mineral resources or mineral reserves in accordance with NI 43-101.

Pediment also reported that subsequent to the estimates published by Eldorado, production records prepared by previous owner, Exploracions La Colorada, S.A. de C.V., record that 3,617,340 tonnes averaging about 0.9 g/t gold was mined from the La Colorada site. This historical information has not been independently verified by the Company in accordance with NI 43-101 requirements and should not be relied upon. This information is reproduced for historical reference only.

Since obtaining ownership of the La Colorada property in October 2007, the Company has conducted two drill programs, the second of which is continuing, and has completed approximately 5,200 meters of RC and 1,550 meters of core drilling in 2009. A 2008 drill program completed about 4,320 meters of RC drilling, as reported in a September 17, 2008 news release, and details of drill hole assay results were listed in a news release on February 17, 2009 with geological interpretation. This drill data is also currently available on the Pediment website at www.pedimentgold.com. Two contracted geologists have completed mapping and supervised pit bench sampling. This resulted in the collection of about 3,600 rock samples which have been analyzed in approved laboratories and was posted to the Pediment website in map form illustrations.

.Four different engineering groups were contracted over the period to review in detail various aspects of the former mine site and facilities regarding the state of existing infrastructure, integrity of leach pads and dumps, the amenability of the rock types for underground mine development, and various environment assessments. These mining engineers and technicians have provided useful information and recommendations to facilitate advancing the project beyond the exploration drilling phase. Reyna Mining and Engineering of Mexico City was contracted to provide general recommendations regarding the development potential at the La Colorada property. Milne and Associates of Tucson, Arizona also provided additional assessment of the underground mining potential. Interminera S.A. de C.V. of Sonora, Mexico, has been reviewing the site infrastructure and making an assessment of the various components of the site. Munro Legal of Sonora, México, provided environmental assessments and a partial baseline study, including water well sampling for the former operating mine.

The Company does not have a current resource estimate for the La Colorada property, nor has it verified the historical estimates disclosed above. However, it recently has engaged a group of independent consultants to prepare an NI 43-101 compliant resource study and technical report for the La Colorada property prior to December 1, 2009.

Melvin Herdrick, Vice President of Exploration and a Director of the Company, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved this release.

-- “Walter, you’re my goddamn [cussing] hero.” – John Travolta’s character, as Walter shoots him in chest/”‘The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3”



MEXICO CITY -- I have more gol’ dang heroes than a sombrero full of jumping beans.

Just so you know: I wrote this waiting for a flight the other day to Pediment Gold’s (TSX: T.PEZ, Stock Forum) San Antonio Project in Baja.

Analysts and writers are crawling all over Mexico this autumn. So are bankers, geologists, heap-leach artists and brokers. Mostly, they want silver and gold.

A non-public Vancouver entity, Goldgroup Resources (no relation to Fortuna Silver and Focus Ventures’ Peru and Mexico-leaning Goldgroup), today (Thursday) sealed a pact with Lundin Group's exploration company for a majority earned interest in El Caballo Blanco Gold Project. Sounds like yet another tiny company backing property into an eggshell with a plan to go public, right?

Yes. I count a dozen in Mexico alone this month of November.

Still, Goldgroup Resources’ $15 million transaction is yet another pinto bean in a mounting pile of legumes. “Legacy projects in Mexico, ones long ago abandoned or botched, are probably the hottest deal trend in mining,” Grant Hall of tiny Oremex Resources (TSX: V.ORM, Stock Forum) says.

Oremex is in the resurrection biz itself, trying to salvage what was a promising silver prospect in a dusty village in Durango state. Previous owners “did not score any points with the town,” Oremex Executive Chairman John Carlesso told me.

Mexico prospects – especially those previously dead in la agua – were front and center at a San Francisco natural resources conference this past weekend.

“Caballao Blanco was a dead horse with Canadian Gold Hunter,” Gene Arensberg of The Got Gold Report on Stockhouse tells me Thursday morning. “One newsletter writer I know was really big on this project. Now maybe the new company can drill the right holes.”

In the past two weeks alone, Mexico transactions pegged to Canada-domiciled prospectors number more than three dozen. They include:

* The big mother: Goldcorp (NYSE: GG, Stock Forum) buying Canplats (TSX: V. CPQ, Stock Forum) for cash and stock worth about $240 million Canadian. This one gives Goldcorp the vast El Camino Rojo Project some 30 miles from its Peñasquito Mine. “Many of us wondered what took this negotiation so long, what with Canplats having 60 million silver ounces and 3.5 million gold in M&I (measured and indicated category),” Endeavour Silver’s (AMEX: EXK, Stock Forum) Bradford Cooke says.
* Argonaut Gold just raised $150 million Canadian to support its cash takeover of Mexico and Guatemala miner Castle Gold (TSX: V.CSG, Stock Forum).
* Lincoln Mining (TSX: V.LMG, Stock Forum) is buying a small Chihuahua gold and silver prospect from Almaden Minerals (AMEX: AAU, Stock Forum). Almaden is also connected as an optionor to El Caballo Blanco mentioned above.


“It does seem like a frenzy, does it not?” Paramount Gold’s (TSX: T.PZG, Stock Forum) Chris Crupi tells me over dinner at Harris Steakhouse in San Francisco. Paramount three weeks ago raised $23 million to drill out a Mexico property at San Miguel. “We had 50 funds wanting a piece of this. A year ago, the stock was 30 cents.” The financing was completed at $1.25 per share.

Legacy rules right now in Mexico.

At Pediment Gold’s San Antonio Project in Baja, geologist Mel Herdrick took me (and accompanying geologist Mickey Fulp) across thousands of hectares of property that Echo Bay Mines stalked in the late 1990s.

“I’m a geologist, not an economist, hombre,” Mel says as we slap our hammers at yet another slab of Echo Bay-conditioned rock. “But with these prices – prices few people and even fewer junior miners could have forecast in 1997 and ’98 and ’99 – you can see why the airports here are packed.”

Mexico, you are my goddamn flag-nogging hero.

* Looking for cheap silver: The price is at a 16-month high (and going far higher). Chartist Ian McAvity suggests a Canada-only traded silver trust, The Silver Bullion Trust (TSX: T.SBT.UN, Stock Forum). “The TSE trades it in Canadian and U.S. dollars and the market maker is, well, inefficient to say the least. It sells for a discount to the physical silver in its (Regina, Canada) vault. Just put up a stink bid and let it sit.”
* Guyana: On Monday or Tuesday, Guyana’s Sandspring Resources (SSP) will start trading in Canada. The security stems from ETK, the John Adams family’s working mine that I visited last month in the English-speaking nation just next to Venezuela. The shares are set to open at 35 cents Canadian. The new stock at that 35-cent price (book value for the Guyana property is rated 55 cents a share) is among North and South America’s 10 cheapest gold stocks ranked by per-ounce price in the ground.

How about Orko Silver Corp (V.OK) as a Hero's sidekick and soon to be Hero? Also a real potential silver play in Mexico. http://www.stockhouse.com/Blogs/ViewBlog.aspx?b=2816 Mexico is for very good reason being crawled over. Try comparing the time for putting a mine into production between Mexico and Canada. See what you come up with :-

Silver eagles are way undervalued right now... silver bullion will play catch up very soon to gold. The historic gold silver ratio is 16:1, but currently it's almost 64:1. I've actually found a way to get silver eagles at below spot, have a look at www.bullion.tel

Pediment Secures Surface Rights at San Antonio
Marketwire
December 01, 2009: 06:37 PM ET

Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX: PEZ)(OTCBB: PEZGF)(FRANKFURT: P5E) ("Pediment" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into agreements securing long-term surface and access rights for the ongoing exploration, and proposed development and operation of its San Antonio gold project with the Ejido San Antonio.

The first agreement is a rental agreement, called a "temporary occupation agreement", for access, exploration and production activities. The agreement has a term of 30 years and includes a one-time payment for access and annual per hectare payments for areas subject to exploration or other disturbance within the Pediment concession holdings which total approximately 8,100 hectares. Active exploration and/or production areas within the concessions can be increased or decreased as required during the life of the agreement.

In addition, the parties have signed an agreement allowing Pediment to purchase outright 260 hectares covering the Planes and Colinas mineral targets and surrounding area.

The Ejido has agreed to the purchase terms and price for the land. The parties are working towards having the agreed area removed from the communal Ejido land tenure and redefined as an individual lot that can be transferred to Pediment. In addition, the parties signed a separate agreement to transfer rights to certain waste rock material within the Company's concession areas to the Ejido.

Pediment's President Gary Freeman commented that, "Pediment has always made a point of keeping Ejidos and other stakeholders in our project areas informed, and ensured local sourcing of goods and services and provision of employment opportunities whenever practical. In return the Ejidos have been supportive of Pediment's efforts to explore for minerals and move them to development, as evidenced by these agreements. We look forward to many years of cordial and mutually beneficial relationships with local stakeholders in the San Antonio area."

Pediment Gold Commences Drilling Deep Vein Extensions at La Colorada Vancouver, BC, December 14, 2009 -- Pediment Gold Corp.
Frankfurt: P 5 E)
("Pediment" or "the Company") is pleased to report that the drilling of the final five holes of its 2009 La Colorada drill program have commenced. The last segment of the program is planned to total approximately 1500 meters and is to be finalized in January 2010. These final holes of the program are designed to cross down dip extensions of the higher grade veins. The location of the holes was determined based on prior drilling and plotting of positions of underground workings.

The first hole of the deep drill program has been completed with a large IR TH 100 RC drill machine. The drill crossed the first vein and an open working at about 173 meters depth in the hole drilled from the north wall of the Creston Pit.

Final assays from prior drilling conducted during November are being processed in the assay laboratory and are mainly from the Veta Madre and La Verde areas. Final assays will be reported on when received and resolved.

Gary Freeman, President and CEO of the Company, states, "We are pleased with the decision to continue and complete the 2009 La Colorada drill program, and we look forward to conducting additional work next year to continue investigating the potential for underground resources."

Mel Herdrick, Vice President of Exploration and a director of the Company, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release and is a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101.

Initial Resource Estimates at La Colorada Contain 605,000 Gold Ounces in Measured + Indicated category plus an additional 582,000 Ounces in Inferred.



Vancouver, BC, December 18, 2009 - Pediment Gold Corp. TSX:PEZ OTCBB:PEZGF; Frankfurt:P5E "Pediment" or "the Company" is pleased to outline its initial, bulk tonnage resource estimate for the La Colorada gold-silver mine project. The resource estimate has been generated for the Company by Mr. Gary Giroux and is presented in a NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled "Geological Report on the La Colorada Property with a Resource Estimate on La Colorada and El Creston Mineralized Zones, Sonora, Mexico", dated November 30, 2009 prepared for the Company by independent consultants R.H. McMillan Ph.D., P.Geo., J.M. Dawson M.Sc., P. Eng. and Gary H. Giroux, M.A.Sc., P. Eng. (the "La Colorada Report") This initial estimate does not include the recently-drilled Mina Verde nor La Veta Madre targets, broken rock possible resources (waste and leach piles), or recent results of drill testing by the Company that were unavailable at the time of compilation for the estimation. This estimate is for bulk tonnage resources only and does not address deeper vein-type resource potential.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates include inferred mineral resources that are normally considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these inferred mineral resources will be converted to the measured and indicated categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied.

Resource estimates were made for the El Creston and La Colorada-Gran Central deposits by G. H. Giroux of Giroux Consultants Ltd. In both cases geologic solids were created by Pediment geologists to constrain the estimation process. Drill holes were compared to the solids and assays were tagged if inside or outside the solid. Gold and Silver grade distributions for both mineralized and waste assays were examined and capping levels picked to handle outliers. Composites 5 m in length were created to honour the solid boundaries and used to model the grade continuity using variography. Blocks 5 x 5 x 5 m in dimension were estimated by ordinary kriging in a series of passes with expanding search ellipses. Bulk density in each deposit was established from measured specific gravities. Estimated blocks were classified using grade continuity. The results for a 0.3 g/t Au cutoff, a reasonable cutoff for open pit extractio

CPQ looks to be going away at about $90+ an ounce for the M&I portion of its resource - which is quite low grade on the gold side.

There are very very few deals in Mexico with more than 2 million ounces M&I. Pez is one of them. Give it a discount for the inferred and because its two projects not one. Call it $60 an ounce. That would be $3.50+ per share.

Not hard to see why the price has been climbing every day since the Colorada numbers came out.

Pediment Gold Corp.: 11,000 Metres Programmed Drilling to Resume in San Antonio Gold Project Area
Thursday, January 14, 2010 9:21 PM

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/14/10 -- Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX: PEZ)(OTCBB: PEZGF)(FRANKFURT: P5E) ("Pediment" or "the Company") is beginning its third major exploration program at its San Antonio gold project, Baja California Sur, Mexico with the objective of identifying and exploring new targets in its extensive mining concession holdings, as well as further studying its existing gold resource zones near Planes and Colinas. The initial 2010 program follows completion of surface acquisition and access agreements in December and now includes 11,000 metres of planned drilling. Further details on the San Antonio project can be found in the technical report on San Antonio, dated November 29, 2009, and filed on SEDAR on December 18, 2009.

A map displaying the location of the various target areas and their relation to each other can be found at: http://www.pedimentgold.com/i/pdf/san/SanAntonio-DistrictSch…

Planes/Colinas Area:

Drilling will be undertaken at Planes and Colinas area located adjacent to the current gold resource. Part of the drill program will further investigate the "Intermediate" zone between Planes and Colinas. This forms part of the resource that currently has low drill density and requires further drilling to understand the cross faulted nature of the area. Pervious intersections holes such as RC117 and RC118 indicate the potential for continuation to the south of the Planes zone in this area. Further drilling is also required to upgrade parts of the Colinas resource and test for extensions and newly recognized parallel zones east of Colinas. Surrounding areas being focused on during the program are discussed below.

Triunfo Zone:

The Triunfo holdings were acquired as a group of concessions, under sealed bid auction in 2008, from the Servicio Geological Mexicano, or "SGM" which held the area as a National Mineral Reserve for over 30 years. This historic silver-gold district includes several past-producing mines following the northeast oriented El Triunfo trend which converges toward the north-south San Antonio gold trend near the Planes/Colinas area (see link).

The higher-grade, Triunfo veins are reported to have been mind at an averaged of 6 g/t gold and 328 g/t silver with associated lead and zinc in oxidized veins with widths from 0.3 to 2.5 metres. These extend from surface to up to a depth of 300 meters depth in workings (CRM Tecnico Analysis, Perez and Bustamante, 2008). Historically, the miners focused on high-grade parts of veins but reconnaissance grab samples of shear material away from mined veins averaged about 1 g/t gold. A surface sampling and mapping campaign at Triunfo will define targets for follow-up drilling for both vein and bulk tonnage zones. Pediment considers Triunfo an important target in its own right that adds substantial value to the overall San Antonio holdings. These grades and related information are based on historical reports, referenced above, reviewed by the Company in connection with the development of its exploration plans. The Company has not carried out sufficient exploration in the Triunfo Zone to verify these grades or to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Canada del Agua

The Canada del Agua mine zone is located in the Triunfo Este Fracc. I concession covering 1,500 meters on-strike, of the mineralized zone about 3 kilometres south of the San Antonio town site. Echo Bay Exploration cut three trenches and drilled six drill holes at Canada del Agua in 1995-96 (Echo Bay San Antonio Venture Report, Brown, 1996). The exact position of the drill holes, trenches, and validity of the assays have not been verified for the Company by a QP as required by NI 43-101 standards of reporting. The results are included herein for informational purposes and will be checked in this program.

The best historical surface results were reported from trench CATR-3 with 12 m of 5.2g/t gold with an additional 10 meters of 0.8 g/t gold. The best historical drill results obtained were 6 m of 1.8 g/t gold in (RC at 60 degrees) in hole SA-95-23 and 22 m of 2 g/t gold in SA-95-35c (core drill hole at 60 degrees). These angled drill intervals are assumed to be near true widths based on the regional dip of the shear zone. Echo Bay also completed three IP lines over the Canada del Agua zone and an unknown amount of soil sampling over parts of the concession. Results suggested two parallel mineralized zones may be present in the area. Pediment plans more detailed mapping, sampling and geophysics to accurately locate and assess Echo Bay trenches, drill positions and extend and further define the zones for follow up drilling. As with the other target areas discussed above, the Company has not carried our sufficient exploration in the Canada del Agua mine zone to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Aurora

The Aurora trend is located about 2 kilometres south of Las Colinas gold resource, in the same shear zone. The trend extends from the Aurora Mine, an area of old workings just outside the eastern boundary of the Triunfo Este Fracc 2 concession to a gambusino worked area on the southern concession boundary called La Cruz. This zone has a roughly north-south strike with a westerly dip of about 40 degrees. A historical document concerning the Aurora mine (Avirette, 1910) reports workings of more than 40 metres depth that accessed oxidized mineralization for production. The historical reports describe the Aurora mine with assays of mined material of plus 10 g/t gold and plus 200 g/t silver range but these results have not yet been verified and are presented as anecdotal evidence of nearby mineralization only. The north trending ridge that defines the Aurora trend hosts numerous old workings but no drilling has been performed in the area. Mapping, surface sampling and possibly Induced Polarization geophysical surveys are planned to define potential drill targets. The historical reports for this area were reviewed by the Company in connection with the development of its exploration plans. The Company has not carried our sufficient exploration in the Aurora trend to verify these grades or to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Valle Perdido

The Valle Perdido concession was also acquired from SGM by bid and is located the farthest southwest from the Planes/Colinas resource area. SGM reported mineralization in two main areas, Lomboyal and Jicara vein, located within a two kilometer long part of the Triunfo trend. SGM reported a historic inferred resource based on underground sampling at Lomboyal of 178,071 tonnes with 2.8 grams Au per tonne, and 20 grams Ag per tonne in a vein zone setting. The vein ranges from 0.5 m to 3.5 m wide, has north 20 degrees east trend and dips about 50 degrees easterly (Data from CRM Tecnico Analysis, Anonymous, 2008).

No QP has undertaken any work for the Company to verify or validate any part of the underlying SGM work or the resulting estimates and results reported by SGM on the Triunfo or Valle Perdido zones. The inferred resource work reported by SGM predates the enactment of NI 43-101. The SGM resource and assay reports are historical in nature and are reported here for information purposes only. The Company has referred to the SGM reports to develop its exploration plans, but has yet to carry out sufficient exploration in these prospective zones to define a mineral resource. At present, it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Vein zones of the region show a consistent pattern along northerly oriented broad shear zones that have variable degrees and direction of inclinations.

The west side of the district has mineralized trends northeasterly with east dipping zones parallel to the Triunfo felsic batholith wall as does the Paredones Amarillos deposit to south. Conversely the Planes-Colinas mineralized zone is localized in a west dipping part of the shear zone which continues south for at least 7 km. The large shear zones may converge and are the hosts for the mineralization, but finer grained porphyritic dikes and sills that are located near mineralization are emplaced as laccolith type fillings parallel to the shear zone with north south structural boundaries. The close proximity of the porphyritic phases of intrusive and partial involvement with mineralization suggests a "porphyry gold" type of intrusive relationship of gold and gold-silver mineralization. The large sizes of the mineral deposits on a district scale also support this hypothesis.

Gary Freeman, Pediment's President, states that, "The Company is pleased to be moving forward with a new exploration program at San Antonio and is hoping for very rewarding results. Property acquisitions and Ejido agreements completed during the last 2 years have been important in building the project. However, they did not drive the interest in the Company through the 07/08 drilling programs. We are confident and anticipate success in the 2010 program given the more comprehensive geologic model of the district that the geological team are now working."

Melvin Herdrick, Vice President of Exploration and a Director of the Company, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved this release.

Pediment Reports Final Drill Results for 2009 at La Colorada

Vancouver, BC, March 23, 2010 - Pediment Gold Corp. ("Pediment" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the final results from its 2009 drill program. The results focus mainly on the Veta Madre area, a discrete gold-mineralized zone located about 1 kilometre east of the El Creston pit. Results from a deeper RC drill hole (R-131), completed outside the El Creston pit north wall and final results for the La Verde zone are also reported.

Veta Madre

At Veta Madre, mineralization is hosted within a zone of quartz vein, breccia, and stockwork interpreted to be in the upper portion of an epithermal gold-mineralized zone under shallow cover except where exposed by old shafts and trenching. Drilling by the Company combined with historic drilling by Eldorado confirms a broad area of lower-grade mineralization hosted in quartz vein fracture fillings within Cretaceous diorite. The recent drill results summarized below, confirm the western part of the zone contains the highest grades of the Veta Madre zone with good potential to add to the project resource. Final results from 2009 testing include:

* Drill hole R-122 intersected 35 metres with 0.35 grams of gold per tonne.

* Drill hole R-123 intersected 1.5 metres with 3.0 grams of gold per tonne, and 18.3 metres with 2.88 grams of gold per tonne, including 1.5 metres with 25.3 grams of gold per tonne.

* Drill hole R-124 intersected 33.5 metres with 1.32 grams of gold per tonne.

The above intersection of 1.5 metres of 25.3 g/t gold in drill hole R-123 is higher than normal grade averages at Veta Madre. These narrow zones of higher-grade gold intervals warrant investigation of a possible higher-grade vein target, existing at depth.

Drill holes R-123 and R-124 were drilled from the same drill site two metres apart, with R-123 being vertical and R-124 inclined -45 degrees southerly. The two zones of gold mineralization intercepted indicate a nearly-flat, shallowly north dipping stockwork zone of mineralization that continues northerly an unknown distance. More testing is planned on the north side of the zone because many southerly oriented drill holes are collared in mineralization. A program of follow-up work and drilling is envisaged to better outline and extend this new mineralized area.

Pediment Gold Begins 40,000 Meter Drill Program at San Antonio

Vancouver, BC, June 07, 2010 -- Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX: PEZ, OTCBB: PEZGF
Frankfurt: P5E) ("Pediment" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the Company has commenced drilling on its 100%-owned San Antonio Gold property in Baja Sur, Mexico. The drill program was originally announced on January 14, 2010, and contemplated 11,000 metres, however due to additional information developed during the last few months; the drill program has been expanded to 40,000 metres and will utilize one reverse circulation (RC) drill and one diamond drill. The program has been designed to accomplish three key objectives; exploration, metallurgical geotechnical, and further definition sampling of the resources reported in the Technical Report and Resource Update, by Herdrick and Giroux, dated November 29, 2009, and announced on December 18, 2009 (the "Report"). The Report outlined a Measured Resource of 34.2 million tonnes grading 1.09 g/t gold and an Indicated Resource of 13.1 million tonnes grading 0.80 g/t gold, totaling 1.54 million ounces of gold at a 0.40 grams of gold per tonne cut off level.

A map of the proposed drill hole map can be viewed at the following link:
http://www.pedimentexploration.com/i/maps/baja/SA_DH_Locatio…

The first 24,000 metres of RC drilling will focus on the definition of the Los Planes, Los Colinas and intermediate zones that are now thought to be a continuous zone of gold mineralization. Recent re-logging of previously drilled material coupled with a reinterpretation of the geophysical data, has resulted in a better understanding of the interrelated structural and porphyritic intrusive setting of mineralized zones at the San Antonio project site. Five very young cross cutting fault structures, identified only from drilling, are better understood where they offset gold mineralization and where the trends may continue along a 2 kilometre trend. The Company now believes there is potential for additional gold mineralization as a result of a better understanding of these covered mineralized zones and their fault offsets. The emphasis for drilling in this area is twofold; it should lead to a reclassification of the existing resource and provide the Company with the information necessary to determine whether it can enhance the currently known gold resource.

Secondly, a 7,500-metre, diamond-drill-hole program at Los Planes will include several large-diameter, PQ size core holes that will be drilled to systematically sample the known mineralized areas. This will provide material with a good spatial distribution for advanced metallurgical test work. Also, several oriented-core holes are planned to obtain geotechnical information for use in estimating potential pit slope angles. Finally some of the core drilling will twin RC drill holes for Quality Control purposes.

The Company has also planned 8,500 metres of drilling on nearby exploration targets further along strike of the known gold resource at Los Planes. In addition, located several kilometres to the west of Los Planes is an area known as El Triunfo, where systematic geological mapping with an emphasis on the detailed structural setting is being conducted. Several smaller, historic, past-producing mines exist in this area that produced gold and silver with lead and zinc mineralization and appear to be a mesothermal mineralized system like the San Antonio mineral deposits. Evidence of past production from the Triunfo mine is in the form of large waste dumps and old artisanal workings that exist over a discontinuous distance of 15 kilometers. Although the gold mineralization is augmented with silver, lead and zinc along the Triunfo trend, El Triunfo is clearly a significant exploration target.

The Preliminary Assessment ("PA"), also known as a Scoping Study which began in April, 2010 and is being conducted by AMEC E&C Services Inc., ("AMEC") is continuing. The results will be released in a NI 43-101 compliant report that is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2010. The report will also contain AMEC's recommendations regarding continued plans for the development of the San Antonio gold project.

Additionally, progress is being made by Schlumberger Water Services - Mexico/Central America ("Schlumberger") to complete a Phase-I, water resource delineation and characterization of the San Antonio Project. Schlumberger's long-term objectives for this work are evaluating and recommending means of developing water resources for the project, developing and implementing a water-quality monitoring program, and developing and implementing groundwater control measures.

Quotations are being solicited and evaluated for other services relating to project development including metallurgical testing, slope stability, permitting, and socio-economic assessments.

Melvin Herdrick, Vice President of Exploration and Director, is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved this release.

On behalf of the board,

Gary Freeman
President & CEO

"Pediment Gold's three-year chart has completed a bull Cup 'N' Handle pattern. There is hard Intermediate-cycle support for PEZ at C$1.00. Depending upon what the larger stock markets do over the next six weeks, the price could touch C$1.00 support and then rally back to C$1.50 followed by a pause. We think these shares will easily see C$2.00 this year with a much faster run to C$3.00 resistance depending upon the depth of global credit problems. In our view, it would be no surprise to see the C$3.50 price broken through in a big rally as European problems deepen this summer and fall."

The Gold Report Interview with Roger Wiegand (05/26/10)
"This is a company with smart management in a good location. They're operating in a rather mountainous region, which makes it more expensive and difficult. But these are smart people. They know what they're doing, and they've got the capital. We think they're going to do quite well."

Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (05/25/10)
"Pediment has taken a small but significant step toward the development of its San Antonio gold project in Baja Sur, Mexico, with the launch of a scoping study. The results of that work should be available by the end of September, giving us a first look at the economics of mining the 1.5-million-ounce measured and indicated gold resource at San Antonio.

Earlier this year, Pediment started its third major exploration program at San Antonio, with a goal of identifying new targets, as well as further testing of established gold zones near the Planes and Colinas deposits. The initial phase of the 2010 program comprises some 11,000 meters of drilling.

. . .Again, the scoping study is a small but meaningful step toward advancing their major project toward production. The exploration drilling, if successful, could be just icing on the cake. And finally, the company's share price has declined to the point that it's a buy once again."

Greg McCoach, Mining Speculator (05/12/10)
"I talked with CEO Gary Freeman who told me the company will be putting out a very important press release within the next 10 days outlining their plans over the next 18 months. I expect we will see this news sometime next week.

The company did put out a significant press release last month regarding the commencement of a scoping study by AMEC at San Antonio.

. . .Reading between the lines in this press release, the scoping study will have to include drilling for definition, metallurgy and exploration. I'm sure the press release next week is going to be more specific about the parameters of the scoping study and give us much greater detail on what they hope to ac¬complish and when.

For now I have noticed that the volume in PEZ is beginning to pick up and that we have seen some bigger orders to buy the stock in recent days. This would indicate fund buying is coming back into Pediment Exploration. I expect our share price could be moving over the $2.00 level very shortly, especially as gold prices look to run to the next new high.

Watch for the press release next week. This will give us all the information we need which I expect will aggressively move our agenda forward on multiple fronts.

PEZ will be moving up the TOP 10 List once again.

Pediment remains a STRONG BUY at current levels."

Chris Thompson, Haywood Securities (04/29/10)
"Pediment Gold is a Mexico-focused gold exploration company, with its two key assets being the 100%-owned San Antonio and 100%-owned La Colorada projects.

The company's La Colorada project was the primary focus of exploration and drilling last year. . .notable results from the program include 24.39 m grading 1.83 g/t gold from the Veta Madre Zone, and 4.57 m grading 36.33 g/t gold and 83.97 g/t silver targeting the La Verde Zone. . .

At the San Antonio project, Pediment released an updated resource estimate outlining a global Measured and Indicated resource of 1.53 million oz Au (47.3 million tons grading 1.01 g/t Au) and an Inferred resource of 111,000 oz Au (5.4 million tons grading 0.637 g/t Au).

. . .Look for results from a slated 30,000 m drill program at San Antonio (targeting three zones and infill drilling around the existing deposit), with IP geophysics followed by a PEA intended for Q3/10. The company plans a $2 million to $3 million program at La Colorada, with the details to follow. With a Mexican focus, a large treasury and aggressive drill programs on San Antonio and La Colorada, Pediment is well placed for growth through resource expansion and corporate development."

Gary Freeman President and CEO of Pediment stated that, "the PA from AMEC is a significant step forward towards production with clear, concise and compelling conclusions. The San Antonio project PA demonstrates the opportunity for a favourable financial return at a base case gold price of US$900 per ounce with a pretax net present value (NPV@8%) of US$79.0 million and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 33%. Payback is calculated at 3.28 years from start-up. The project would produce an average of 82,500 ounces of gold per year and have an average cash cost of US$513 per ounce gold produced. Capital costs are expected to be US$71.1 million with total sustaining capital for life-of-mine estimated at US$27.9 million. The project can be mined with a conventional truck and shovel fleet and processed via a proven heap leach technology. The mine has a mine life of nine years including a one year pre-strip period with the potential to increase the mine life via resource addition. A drill program is currently underway. The project site is located in an area with good access to power, roads, services, ports and labor and no significant permitting issues are foreseen at this time. That said, the next step toward gold production is the completion of a Feasibility Study followed by detailed engineering and construction."

Carlos Slim, der reichste Mann der Erde, investiert in Goldminen seiner Heimat Mexiko. Welche Titel er kaufen sollte


Er ist der Dagobert Duck der realen Welt. Wo Carlos Slim hinlangt, klingelt die Kasse. In den vergangenen Jahren stieg der Mexikaner zum reichsten Menschen der Erde auf. Slims Vermögen soll umgerechnet rund 45 Milliarden Euro umfassen. Mit 17 Jahren verdiente Slim an der Börse seine erste Million, in US-Dollar gerechnet. Doch auch bei Goldminen zeigte der Milliardär ein edles Händchen. Vor 24 Jahren übernahm er den Minenkonzern Frisco. Und diesen baut Slim derzeit kräftig aus.

Grupo Frisco ist heute die Minentochter der börsengelisteten Grupo Carso, an der Carlos Slim 79 Prozent hält. Frisco übernahm im Juli die El-Porvenir-Goldmine von kanadischen Minenkonzern Goldgroup Mining. Rund 25 Millionen US-Dollar blätterten die Mexikaner für das Minenprojekt im Bundesstaat Aguascalientes hin. In den kommenden Jahren will das Grupo-Frisco-Management in El Porvenir eine Produktion von rund 50 000 Unzen Gold pro Jahr aufbauen.

Bei einem Goldpreis von etwa 1200 US-Dollar pro Unze (31,1 Gramm) dürfte die El-Porvenir-Mine einen ordentlichen Profit abwerfen. Ähnlich positiv sehen auch die Chancen anderer Goldproduzenten in Mexiko aus. Ein Engagement bei Konzernen wie Goldcorp, Oroco Resources und Pediment Mining sollte daher längerfristig lohnen.

Bereits ohne die geplanten 50 000 Unzen aus El Porvenir konnte Grupo Frisco seine Goldproduktion kräftig ausweiten. 2009 verneunfachte Frisco die Fördermenge auf 97 492 Unzen. 2008 hatten die Mexikaner lediglich 10 496 Unzen aus dem Boden gegraben. Slim besitzt zudem zwei Projekte, San Felipe und Concheno, die die Frisco-Produktion in den kommenden Jahren weiter steigern werden. Das Management erwartet eine zusätzliche Tagesverarbeitung von 68 000 Tonnen Gestein. Die Gold- und Silbergehalte gab Frisco jedoch nicht bekannt.

Ein Dorn im Auge ist für Slim sicherlich die Profitabilität der Grupo Frisco. Denn diese ist geringer als die anderer Gold- und Silberminen. Die Ursache ist die Zersplitterung der Goldproduktion auf kleinere Minen in den Bundesstaaten Zacatecas, Aguascalientes und Chihuahua. „Wenn Sie eine größere Produktion in Ihrer Mine haben, ist auch Ihre Profitabilität höher“, sagt Rodrigo Heredia, Analyst der Investmentbank Ixe Grupo Financiero in Mexiko City. Die La-Herradura-Mine, an der der Silberkonzern Fresnillo 56 Prozent hält, förderte zum Vergleich 259 000 Unzen Gold zu Tage. Die operative Gewinnmarge von Fresnillo betrug denn auch 50 Prozent gegenüber nur 42 Prozent bei Grupo Frisco.

Slim könnte versuchen, die Gewinnmarge von Frisco durch gezielte Zukäufe zu verbessern. Das dürfte Gerüchte über eine Konsolidierung und damit Übernahmen und Fusionen in der Goldindustrie Mexikos anheizen.

Mexiko holt auf. Carlos Slim ist sicherlich der prominenteste Geschäftsmann, der die Goldminenbranche Mexikos ins Rampenlicht rückt. Doch der Aufstieg des Goldbergbaus hat bereits in den vergangenen Jahren begonnen. 1994 erreichte die Goldproduktion Mexikos lediglich 14,4 Tonnen oder 463 000 Unzen. Doch in den vergangenen acht Jahren nahm die Förderung spürbar zu. Im vergangenen Jahr erreichte sie mit rund 55 Tonnen einen bisherigen Höchststand. Im laufenden Jahr könnte dieser bereits wieder überboten werden. Denn im März und April kam die Goldproduktion auf 5,9 beziehungsweise 4,9 Tonnen. Ende 2010 dürften die Goldminen in Mexiko somit eine Produktion von 55 bis 60 Tonnen vorweisen.

„Der Aufbau einer Goldproduktion ist in Mexiko unter anderem wegen günstigerer Gesetze und Regulierungen als in vielen anderen Ländern attraktiv“, erklärt Gary Freeman, Vorstandschef von Pediment Gold. Zudem profitiert die Branche von einem vergleichsweise niedrigen Lohnniveau. Ein negativer Faktor ist dagegen die Sicherheitslage in einigen Landstrichen Mexikos. Denn die Drogenmafia ist vor allem in unzugänglichen Gebieten immer wieder anzutreffen.

Hervorragende Geologie. Das hält die Minenbetreiber jedoch nicht auf. „Die ergiebigen Silbervorkommen waren immer schon das erste Ziel der großen Minengesellschaften“, sagt Freeman. „Gold fiel dabei als Nebenprodukt an. Das ändert sich jetzt“, ergänzt der kanadische Goldminenspezialist.

Die meisten Silber- und Goldminen Mexikos befinden sich im Sierra-Madre-Occidental-Silberund-Goldgürtel. Dabei handelt es sich um das größte zusammenhängende Gebiet mit epithermalen Edelmetallvorkommen. Diese haben sich durch vulkanische Aktivitäten und somit erhitztes Wasser, das gelöste Mineralien und Metalle mit sich geführt hat und bei niedrigeren Temperaturen wieder ablagerte, gebildet. Der Edelmetallgürtel ist mehr als 1000 Kilometer lang und bis zu 300 Kilometer breit. Bereits vor mehr als 400 Jahren trieben die Spanier dort in größerem Stil die Silberproduktion voran. Bis heute dürften über 40 Millionen Unzen Gold und zwei Milliarden Unzen Silber aus Minen jeder Größenordnung gefördert worden sein. Seit 1992 entdeckten die Geologen zudem mehr als 20 Millionen Unzen an neuen Goldvorkommen.

„In Mexiko ist es besonders wichtig, eng mit der Bevölkerung zusammenzuarbeiten“, weist Freeman auf eine Sondersituation mit historischem Hintergrund hin. Nach der mexikanischen Revolution, die 1910 begann, wurden die Haziendas der Großgrundbesitzer durch eine Landreform in Gemeinschaftsanwesen aufgeteilt. Noch heute kann es sein, dass die Einwohner einer ganzen Gemeinde Anrechte am Land haben, auf dem eine Goldmine erschlossen werden soll.

Mexiko konnte sich nicht zuletzt durch die starken Aktivitäten von kanadischen Minenunternehmen in der Rangliste der Goldproduzenten weiter nach oben arbeiten. Mit aktuell 55 Tonnen Gold liegt das auf Silber spezialisierte Land aber doch weit hinter China mit rund 300 Tonnen und hinter den USA (rund 220 Tonnen) zurück. Daran konnte auch Goldminenfan Carlos Slim bisher nicht viel ändern. Noch nicht.

Pediment

Neu aufgebaut

Mit zwei großen Projekten begann der Explorationskonzern Pediment Gold das Jahr 2010. Mittlerweile hat Pediment-Vorstandschef Gary Freeman seine Präferenzen klar festgelegt. Das San-Antonio-Projekt auf der Halbinsel Baja California soll Pediment zu einem Goldproduzenten machen. Vorausgesetzt, es kauft nicht vorher ein größerer Konkurrent Pediment auf.

Immerhin besitzt Pediment im San-Antonio-Projekt 1,6 Millionen Unzen Goldressourcen. Dabei ist nur ein kleiner Teil des gesamten Gebiets geologisch erforscht. Das Potenzial liegt deutlich höher. Daher konzentriert sich Freeman mit seinem neuen Bohrprogramm auf San Antonio. Es ist bereits angelaufen und soll insgesamt 30 000 Bohrmeter umfassen und rund fünf Millionen US-Dollar kosten. Da Pediment zwölf Millionen Dollar in der Kasse hat, ist dies kein Problem. Sind die Bohrungen erfolgreich, könnte Pediment in einigen Jahren beim San-Antonio-Projekt zehn Millionen Unzen Goldressourcen ausweisen. Zudem liegen in der Nähe weitere Metallvorkommen, die in früheren Jahrhunderten bereits teilweise abgebaut wurden.

Das zweite Projekt ist die La-Colorada-Mine im Bundesstaat Sonora. Dort liegen 1,2 Millionen Unzen Goldressourcen. Von 1993 bis 2000 hatte der Goldkonzern Eldorado die Mine erfolgreich betrieben, ehe der Goldpreis zu stark abgesunken war. Bei La Colorada wird sich Freeman wohl einen Partner ins Boot holen, um die Mine wieder zu eröffnen.

In den nächsten Monaten dürfte Pediment Gold die Weichen hin zur Goldproduktion in Mexiko stellen. Wegen des Ressourcenpotenzials scheint die Aktie unterbewertet. Stopp: 0,70 Euro.

Da Pediment zwölf Millionen Dollar in der Kasse hat, ist dies kein Problem. Sind die Bohrungen erfolgreich, könnte Pediment in einigen Jahren beim San-Antonio-Projekt zehn Millionen Unzen Goldressourcen ausweisen. Zudem liegen in der Nähe weitere Metallvorkommen, die in früheren Jahrhunderten bereits teilweise abgebaut wurden.

Das zweite Projekt ist die La-Colorada-Mine im Bundesstaat Sonora. Dort liegen 1,2 Millionen Unzen Goldressourcen. Von 1993 bis 2000 hatte der Goldkonzern Eldorado die Mine erfolgreich betrieben, ehe der Goldpreis zu stark abgesunken war. Bei La Colorada wird sich Freeman wohl einen Partner ins Boot holen, um die Mine wieder zu eröffnen.

In den nächsten Monaten dürfte Pediment Gold die Weichen hin zur Goldproduktion in Mexiko stellen. Wegen des Ressourcenpotenzials scheint die Aktie unterbewertet. Stopp: 0,70 Euro.

Pediment rappelt sich langsam nach oben !!

Traurig finde ich dass die Feasibility Study erst im Q4 / 2011 rauskommen soll und
stolze 1,5 Mio. verschlingt.


Ich kann mir gut vorstellen dass das Projekt doch noch von einem Major übernommen wird.

Pediment Engages METCON Research to Conduct Metallurgical Test Program for San Antonio

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 7, 2010) - Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ) (OTCBB:PEZGF) (FRANKFURT:P5E) ("Pediment" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged METCON Research ("METCON") of Tucson, Arizona to conduct a comprehensive metallurgical test program for the San Antonio Gold Project located in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Having conducted extensive metallurgical test programs at METCON test facilities in Arizona, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Venezuela, China, Mongolia, Indonesia and Burma, METCON has developed procedures for evaluating the characteristics of ores utilizing column leach for more than 28 years.

METCON has developed a specific set of procedures for evaluating heap leach gold ores through a systematic, sequential test work culminating in column leach tests. The program for San Antonio has clear objectives for each phase of the metallurgical test program. Key procedures are as follows:





1. Sample Preparation and Head Screen Assays from 20 PQ core drill holes

representing approximately 17.5 tonnes of gold bearing material which is

representative of 3 ore types (oxide, transitional oxide-sulphide and

sulphide).



2. Agitated Leach tests with Cyanidation Bottle Rolls on 4 Grind

Calibrations and 3 ore types.



3. Sample Characterization tests on ore types focused on Assaying for gold

and silver, ICP 30 element chemistry on ore zones, Crusher Bond Work

Index, Abrasion Index, Bulk Density, Specific Gravity and Acid Base

Analysis ("ABA") test work.



4. Closed Cycle Column Leach Studies will be conducted on approximately 30

column leach tests with composite samples at crush sizes of 80 percent

minus 2 inch, 3/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch inside columns 20 ft by 12

and 6 inches in diameter. Various flow rates will also be run to observe

leach kinetics.



5. Geo-Technical testing on leach residue from column test material will be

sub-contracted to Golder Associates Inc. in Tucson, Arizona. This work

is being conducted to gain a clear understanding of the physical

properties of the leached ore for determination of height of the heap

leach pad design as well as verify solution flow and application rate

for leaching.



This work will require approximately 30 weeks to complete and will be used for advanced studies. Previous test work although not comprehensive for advanced studies is documented in a recently completed Preliminary Assessment by AMEC E&C Services, Inc. ("AMEC") which is posted at SEDAR and can be viewed on the company's web site, by clicking on the following link:

http://www.pedimentgold.com/i/pdf/2010-08-02_SanAntonioNI43-…

Gary Freeman, President and CEO states, "METCON Research is an internationally recognized industry leader in metallurgical test work and will complete a comprehensive test program that will assist Pediment in advancing the San Antonio Gold Project. Subsequent to the PA completed by AMEC, Pediment has moved forward on many fronts to advance San Antonio and ultimately complete a high quality, advanced study that could support project financing".

In other news, Pediment's VP of Exploration, Melvin Herdrick, has been exploring with a geological team in the El Triunfo area which is roughly 5 kilometres to the west of San Antonio. The team has been mapping and surface sampling a broad area of ductile deformation similar to San Antonio. Systematic work in this area should result in a reverse circulation drill program later this fall or early next year. Drilling within San Antonio is ongoing and will continue late into the fall of this year.

Pediment is focused on the San Antonio Gold Project where AMEC completed and delivered a positive Preliminary Assessment in August of 2010. The project demonstrates a robust financial return at a base case gold price of US$900 per ounce with a pretax net present value (NPV at 8%) of US$79 million and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 33%. Payback is calculated at 3.28 years from start up. The AMEC preliminary assessment suggests that the project could potentially produce an average of 82,500 ounces of gold per year and have an average cash cost of US$513 per ounce gold produced. Capital costs are estimated to be US$71.1million with a total sustaining capital for life-of-mine estimated at US$27.9 million. The project can be mined by open pit methods using a conventional truck and shovel fleet and processed via a proven heap leach technology. The mine has a mine life of nine years including a one year pre-strip period with the potential to increase the mine life with additional resources.

Pediment Announces Adoption of Restricted Share Unit Plan, Enters into Consulting Service Agreements

Vancouver, BC, September 14, 2010 - Pediment Gold Corp. ("the Company") announces that on September 13, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted a Restricted Share Unit Plan (the "RSU Plan"), subject to acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange and disinterested shareholder approval, which is expected to be sought at the Company's next shareholders' meeting. Full particulars of the RSU Plan will be fully described in a proxy circular in advance of the meeting.

The purpose of the RSU Plan is to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability to serve as directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. In addition, the RSU Plan is intended to promote the alignment of interests between the Company's shareholders and such individuals by allowing them to participate in the success of the Company.

The RSU Plan becomes part of the Company's existing overall equity-based compensation plan where the maximum number of common shares available for issuance in the aggregate under the RSU Plan and the Company's existing Share Option Plan will be capped at a maximum of 10% of the number of common shares of the Company issued and outstanding at the time of grant.

On September 9, 2010, the Company entered into consulting services agreements with two of its directors, Peter Mordaunt and William Faust, (the "Consultants"), pursuant to which the Consultants will provide the Company with mining exploration and development technical and business advisory services in connection with the planned development of the Company's San Antonio project located in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The agreements are for a term of five years.

Under the terms of the agreements, the Company will pay to each of the Consultants: (i) cash consulting fees for any time during the currency of the agreements during which services are rendered by the Consultants to the Company; and, if and when the Company institutes the RSU Plan, 300,000 restricted share units (RSUs) to each consultant entitling them each to acquire 300,000 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company. One half of the proposed RSUs would not vest unless and until the Company receives an independently prepared bankable feasibility study supporting the development of a mine at the Company's San Antonio project.

If the Company does not grant RSUs to the Consultants or if the proposed RSU plan does not receive the required acceptances and approvals, then the Company has agreed to make lump sum cash payments to the Consultants in an amount that equates to the market value of the securities that would have otherwise been issuable to the Consultants pursuant to the RSUs.

Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the issuance of RSUs to the Consultants constitutes a "related party transaction" as the Consultants are directors of the Company. The Company has determined that exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 are available for the issuance of the RSUs to the Consultants (Fair Market Value not more than 25% of Market Capitalization). Since the RSU issuance to the Consultants would involve an issuance of no more than 300,000 shares of the Company, little effect on the Company's business and affairs is expected from the issuance. The arrangements with the Consultants have been approved by an independent committee of the directors of the Company, which committee did not include either of the Consultants.

Gold und Silber sind nicht zu stoppen
von Angela Göpfert
Die Rally am Markt für Edelmetalle geht weiter. Es sieht ganz danach aus, als ob das neue Rekordhoch bei Gold und das Zweieinhalb-Jahreshoch bei Silber nur Zwischenstopps waren auf dem Weg zu viel höheren Zielen.
Bild zum Artikel

Zwar hat der Goldpreis nach seinem gestrigen Rekordhoch von 1.274,75 Dollar am Mittwoch eine kleine Pause eingelegt. Die Feinunze des Edelmetalls wird nahezu unverändert bei 1.268 Dollar gehandelt. Doch Experten sind überzeugt: Das ist nur ein Luftholen, bevor sich der Goldpreis in noch schwindelerregendere Höhen aufmachen wird.

Anstieg bis auf 1.550 Dollar?
So verkündeten die Experten der DZ Bank am Dienstag: "Wir halten unverändert an unserer positiven Prognose von 1.350 Dollar per Jahresende fest." Dan Brebner, Analyst der Deutschen Bank in London, der in diesem Jahr bislang mit den treffsichersten Prognosen aufwartete, ist sogar noch optimistischer.

Brebner geht davon aus, dass der Goldpreis weiter steigen und im vierten Quartal durchschnittlich bei 1.400 Dollar notieren wird. Im kommenden Jahr dürfte das Edelmetall die nächste Hundertermarke durchbrechen und einen Preis von 1.550 Dollar je Feinunze erreichen.
Mehr zum Top-Thema

* IconGold so teuer wie noch nie
* IconPro: Sechs Gründe für Gold
* IconContra: Sechs Gründe gegen Gold

Flucht in Sicherheit
Tatsächlich spricht derzeit gleich ein ganzes Bündel an guten Gründen für eine Fortsetzung der Gold-Rally. So treibt derzeit Investoren weltweit die Angst vor einem Double Dip, vor einem erneuten Abgleiten der Wirtschaft in die Rezession, um. Als besonders gefährdet gilt die größte Volkswirtschaft der Welt, neue Daten aus den USA deuten auf ein starkes Nachlassen der konjunkturellen Dynamik hin.

Zugleich misstrauen viele Anleger der Stabilität des Bankensystems. Vor diesem Hintergrund fliehen sie in die so genannten sicheren Häfen. Dazu zählen neben den Währungen Schweizer Franken und Yen auch die Edelmetalle.

Unterstützung von der Angebotsseite
Doch auch ein unerwartetes Anziehen der Konjunktur würde neue Investoren in den Goldmarkt ziehen. Denn eine stärkere Wirtschaftsleistung würde auch die Schmucknachfrage steigern, darauf weist Eugen Weinberg, Rohstoffanalyst bei der Commerzbank hin.

Unterstützung komme aber auch von der Angebotsseite: So habe etwa die russische Goldminenproduktion habe in den ersten sieben Monaten des laufenden Jahres 5,9 Prozent unter dem Vergleichswert des Vorjahres gelegen.
GOLD in USD/ OZ
1271.20
+5.05
+0.39%

Absicherung gegen den Dollar-Verfall
Zugleich sprechen die Entwicklungen am Devisenmarkt für einen weiter steigenden Goldpreis, denn Dollar ist als Anlagewährung derzeit nicht allzu gefragt. Investoren nutzen Gold traditionell als Absicherung gegen einen Dollar-Verfall, da sich der Dollar-Wechselkurs und der (in Dollar notierende) Goldpreis in aller Regel gegenläufig entwickeln.

Hinzu kommt die Niedrigstzinspolitik der Notenbanken: Sowohl die Federal Reserve als auch die Europäische Zentralbank dürften den Leitzins bis weit ins Jahr 2011 auf einem historischen Tief belassen. Das befeuert die Angst vor einer Geldentwertung.

Gefahr von Gewinnmitnahmen?
Nicht zuletzt spricht die Charttechnik eine klare Sprache: Der Aufwärtstrend bei dem Edelmetall ist mehr als intakt, mit der Markierung eines neuen Rekordhochs sandte der Rohstoff zudem ein neues Kaufsignal.

Durch den neuerlichen Preisanstieg sei nicht nur die Gefahr von Gewinnmitnahmen spekulativer Finanzanleger deutlich gesunken. Vielmehr könnten nun weitere Investoren auf den fahrenden Zug aufspringen, vermutet auch die Commerzbank. Allerdings erkennen Marktbeobachter auch erste Anzeichen für einen heiß gelaufenen Markt.

Auch der kleine Bruder Silber ...
Doch nicht nur Gold, auch Silber nehmen Investoren aus den oben genannten Gründen verschärft ins Visier. Zusätzlich spricht eine anhaltend robuste Nachfrage aus China für weitere Preissteigerungen bei Silber, findet das Edelmetall doch unter anderem in der Autoindustrie und Photovoltaikbranche Verwendung.

Am Dienstag hatte sich die Feinunze des Edelmetalls um bis zu 1,9 Prozent auf 20,41 Dollar verteuert. So viel hatte Silber zuletzt im März 2008 gekostet. "Nach dem Überwinden der 20-Dollar-Marke könnten weitere Anleger auf den fahrenden Zug aufspringen", hieß es in einem Marktkommentar der Commerzbank.

... hat noch Luft nach oben
Für Wolfgang Wrzesniok-Rossbach vom Edelmetall-Spezialisten Heraeus hat der Silberkurs charttechnisch noch Luft bis zur Höchstmarke von 21,24 US-Dollar aus dem Jahr 2008. Wegen des hohen Anteils spekulativ orientierter Investoren im Markt dürften aber spätestens dann Gewinnmitnahmen einsetzen.

Für das Goldexporationsunternehmen Sacre-Coeur Minerals (WKN: A0JKHQ) gab es ein Übernahmeangebot von einem internationalen, namentlich noch unbekannten Bergbaukonzern. Die Höhe des Angebotes ist noch offen. Der Kurs konnte inzwischen deutlich zulegen. Kürzlich erfolgten substanzielle Insiderkäufe im Bereich von 1,30 CAD. Dies lässt einen Übernahmepreis von 1,75 CAD bis 2,00 CAD in den Bereich des Möglichen rücken.



Beim Explorationsunternehmen Pediment Gold Corp. (WKN: A0RF8T) gibt es ebenfalls Übernahmegerüchte, die dem Kurs Schwung verleihen. Hier wird ein Preis von 2,50 CAD kolportiert.

Argonaut Gold Inc. and Pediment Gold Corp. Announce Friendly Business Combination
10/19/2010 8:17:04 AM - Market Wire

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Oct 19, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Argonaut Gold Inc. (TSX: AR); ("Argonaut") and Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX: PEZ)(OTCBB: PEZGF), ("Pediment") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding agreement (the "Agreement") to complete a business combination (the "Transaction") to create a premier mid-tier gold producing company focused on the Americas. The combined entity will focus on generating value for its shareholders by increasing production, bringing new and existing projects into production, expanding the resource base, and growing cash flow.

Argonaut is a gold production and exploration company and is currently producing gold at its El Castillo project in Durango, Mexico. Argonaut forecasts 2010 production of 47,000 oz gold at US$600/oz cash cost. Pediment is a junior mining company with a focus on the exploration and development of low-cost gold assets in Mexico. Pediment's most advanced project is the San Antonio gold project in the state of Baja. A positive Preliminary Assessment was completed for the San Antonio gold project in August 2010.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, all of the Pediment common shares (the "Pediment Common Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the business combination shall become exchangeable into the common stock of Argonaut on the basis of 0.625 of a common share of Argonaut for each one (1) Pediment Common Share. Based on the closing price of Argonaut on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on October 18, 2010, the exchange ratio implies an offer price of C$2.56 per Pediment common share and values Pediment's equity at approximately C$137.1 million on a fully diluted in-the-money basis.

This represents a 50.7% premium to the closing price of Pediment on the TSX on October 18, 2010 and a 40.4% premium based on the 20-day VWAPs of both companies for the period ended October 18, 2010. Upon completion of the Transaction, Argonaut and Pediment shareholders will own approximately 63% and 37% of the combined company, respectively. The terms of the Transaction have been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Argonaut and Pediment.

The newly combined company will draw on the expertise from both companies to fulfill board and management responsibilities. The newly combined board will be comprised of the current Argonaut directors and a representative of Pediment - Peter Mordaunt. Peter Dougherty will remain President and CEO of the combined company.

Highlights of the Combined Entity:


-- Diversified across 2 mining operations by 2013
-- Gold production expected to grow in excess of 150,000 oz per year by
2013
-- Over 3.3 million oz of measured and indicated gold resources
-- Strong balance sheet
-- Strong cash flow generating capabilities
-- A quality portfolio of exploration projects
-- Experienced management team and board of directors



Mr. Peter Dougherty, President and CEO of Argonaut stated, "Combining Argonaut and Pediment provides a mutually beneficial transaction. The newly formed company will have access to an array of development and exploration opportunities. Cash generation from a producing mine will support the development of properties with high potential for expansion."

Mr. Gary Freeman, President and CEO of Pediment stated, "This is a natural progression for Pediment as this merger brings together two talented management teams. The resulting company will encompass a strong capital markets presence, proven construction and operating experience, and a successful exploration team. It further allows realization of internal financing for the development of San Antonio and access to exploration funding. Pediment shareholders are receiving an attractive premium and will benefit from production at El Castillo."

Transaction Rationale

Argonaut and Pediment believe the Transaction will provide significant benefits for both companies' shareholders.

Benefits to the shareholders of Argonaut include:


-- The San Antonio project provides an early stage development project with
potential to produce in excess of 80,000 oz Au per year by 2013
-- Increases Argonaut's leverage to gold resources
-- Provides diversification from a single operating mine to two operating
mines in 2013
-- Geographic synergies with dual operations within Mexico
-- An extensive pipeline of grassroots exploration properties for future
development
-- La Colorada has excellent potential to add significant value to the
newly combined company
-- Extensive grassroots exploration expertise and nine exploration projects
in Sonora Mexico
-- Established exploration team with extensive experience in Mexico
-- Strong re-rating potential via a portfolio of multiple mines, increase
in resources and strong production growth profile at below industry
average cash costs
-- Improvement in stock liquidity



The benefits to the shareholders of Pediment include:


-- Significant premium for Pediment shareholders based on 20 day VWAP
-- Immediate exposure to a record gold price environment by converting from
an exploration focused company to a producing company
-- Access to management with extensive construction and operational
experience
-- Strong balance sheet and operating cash flow which are expected to be
sufficient to fund the construction of the San Antonio project



Transaction Details

The business combination is anticipated to be completed by way of a statutory plan of arrangement whereby Argonaut would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pediment in consideration for the issue of Argonaut shares on the basis of 0.625 of one Argonaut share for one (1) Pediment share.

The Transaction will be subject to certain standard conditions which will include no less than 66 2/3% of the shareholders of Pediment and a simple majority of Argonaut shareholders voting in favour of the Transaction at shareholders meetings expected to be held in December 2010, and the acceptance of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Transaction is unanimously supported by the Board of Directors of both Argonaut and Pediment. Management and directors of Pediment hold approximately 8.2%, for which they have indicated that they will sign lock up agreements supporting the Transaction.

The Agreement will be described in detail in Management Information Circulars of Argonaut and Pediment to be filed with the regulatory authorities and mailed to Argonaut and Pediment shareholders in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Transaction has been structured, with respect to Pediment shareholders in the United States, so as to permit reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. Upon closing of the Transaction, Argonaut is expected to become the successor-registrant to Pediment under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Information Concerning Mineralization and Resources

Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in this news release have been prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System in compliance with Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing, this news release uses the terms "measured resources", "indicated resources" and "inferred resources". United States investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of contained ounces is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report resources as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in this news release may not be comparable to information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.

Forward Looking Information

This news release contains forward looking statements of Argonaut and Pediment, within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and within the meaning of applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are statements which are not historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding the proposed acquisition of Pediment by Argonaut, the potential benefits thereof and discussions of future plans, projections and objectives. In addition, estimates of mineral reserves and resources may constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if a property is developed. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove accurate. Such statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Argonaut's or Pediment's expectation are in the documents filed by Argonaut and Pediment, respectively, from time to time with the Toronto Stock Exchange and provincial securities regulators, most of which are available at www.sedar.com. Other than as required by applicable securities legislation, Argonaut and Pediment disclaim any intention and assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement even if new information becomes available, as a result of future events or for any other reason.

The Toronto Stock Exchange has not reviewed or accepted responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

Argonaut Gold Inc. Announces 66% Increase in Gold Production Year Over Year
CAPEX Program Nears Completion
Delivers More Than 5,000 Ounces in October

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov. 4, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut" or the "Company")(TSX:AR), announced today that the Company produced 12,724 ounces of gold during the 3rd quarter (ending September 30, 2010) at its 100% owned El Castillo Mine ("El Castillo"), located 100 km north of the city of Durango, Mexico. The capital expansion program at El Castillo is nearing completion, including the east side processing plant, which will be operational by year end.

Argonaut's President and CEO Peter Dougherty noted, "Gold production in Q3 marks the 3rd consecutive quarter of increased production at El Castillo. Year over year, 3rd quarter production was up 66% over 2009. 24,202 ounces were placed on the pad during the 3rd quarter representing a 20% increase over Q2 of 2010.

The Company surpassed the targeted mining rate of 1.5 million total tonnes per month during the 3rd quarter. Year to date production at El Castillo has been 33,031 ounces, a 64% increase compared to the same time period in 2009. We are on target to meet our guidance of 47,000 ounces of gold in 2010. We look forward to utilizing the full processing capacities at both plants as production at El Castillo grows towards a 75,000 ounce run rate in 2011."

Neues Schreiben der Finanzverwaltung zur Abgeltungssteuer veröffentlicht (Teil IV)
Bezugsrechte:
Die Gewährung von Bezugsrechten im Zuge einer Kapitalerhöhung gegen Einlage stellt keine abgeltungsteuerpflichtige Einnahme dar und die Ausübung eines Bezugsrechts keine abgeltungsteuerpflichtige Veräußerung des Bezugsrechts (Rz. 110 des Erlasses). Der Abgeltungsteuer unterliegt aber der Verkauf von Bezugsrechten und der jungen Aktien, wobei Letztere mit der Bezugsrechtsausübung als angeschafft gelten.

Die Anschaffungskosten von ab 2009 gewährten Bezugsrechten sind mit 0 € anzusetzen sind (§ 20 Abs. 4a Satz 4 EStG). Der Kaufpreis der Altaktien ist somit nicht mehr um den Wert der Bezugsrechte zu vermindern, auch wenn die Altaktien vom Aktionär vor 2009 angeschafft wurden (Rz. 108). Der Gewinn aus der Veräußerung eines Bezugsrechts ist damit gleich seinem Veräußerungserlös (da keine Anschaffungskosten des Bezugsrechts mehr abziehbar sind), sodass Abgeltungssteuer auf ei­nen überhöhten Gewinn fällig wird. Bei Veräußerung der jungen Aktien ist das Veräußerungsergebnis ebenfalls nicht mehr um den Wert des Bezugsrechts zu vermindern (da gleich null), was den abgeltungssteuerpflichtigen Veräußerungsgewinn erhöht bzw. den steuerlichen Verlust verringert.

Aktientausch:
Tauschen Sie als Aktionär eines Unternehmens mit Sitz oder Geschäfts­leitung im Inland Ihre Aktien gegen Anteile eines anderen Unterneh­mens, z. B. infolge einer Firmenübernahme oder Fusion, ist das steuer­lich ein Verkauf der alten und Kauf der neuen Aktien (Rz. 64). Als Anschaffungskosten der neuen Aktien ist der Börsen­kurs der hingegebenen Aktien im Zeitpunkt der Depotausbuchung anzusetzen (Rz. 66).

Bei einem Tausch von Anteilen an Unternehmen mit Sitz und Ge­schäftsleitung im Ausland aufgrund einer gesellschaftsrechtlichen Maßnahme treten die erhaltenen Aktien des neuen Unternehmens an die Stelle der hingegebenen Aktien des alten Unternehmens (§ 20 Abs. 4a Satz 1 EStG). Es liegt somit kein steuerpflichtiges Veräußerungsgeschäft vor, auch wenn die eingetauschten Anteile vor dem 1. 1.2009 erworben wurden. Die Besteuerung wird bei Veräußerung der neuen Anteile nachgeholt, weshalb Voraussetzung für die Steuerfreiheit ist, dass das Recht zur Besteuerung des Veräußerungsgewinns der neuen Anteile bei Deutschland liegt. Wegen der Steuerfreiheit bleiben im Zusammenhang mit dem Anteilstausch angefallende Transaktionskosten steuerlich unberücksichtigt (Rz. 100). Erhält der Anteilsinhaber zusätzlich noch eine Gegenleistung, ist diese ein steuerpflichtiger Kapitalertrag.

[Pirat_Micha]

Die Besteuerung wird bei Veräußerung der neuen Anteile nachgeholt...

Also ich verstehe es so, daß Du/wir aufjedenfall Abgeltungssteuer zahlen müssen ..leider..!

Blödes Steuersystem in Deutschland

Pediment and Argonaut Extend Time for Completion of Business Combination Transaction

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov. 22, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Argonaut Gold Inc. (TSX:AR) ("Argonaut") and Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ)(OTCBB:PEZGF)(FRANKFURT:P5E) ("Pediment") announce that they are amending the deadline for the completion of their business combination transaction from December 23, 2010 to January 31, 2011. This amendment is being implemented to allow the parties to confirm the impact of certain proposed legislative changes and to complete the required disclosure for their proxy circulars. The other terms and conditions of their October 18, 2010 business combination agreement remain in unchanged and in force.

Amendments have been proposed to the local environmental laws in the State of Baja California Sur (the "BCS"), Mexico which may adversely affect Pediment's ability to secure a building licence for the development of its San Antonio Project as currently envisioned. The contents and enforceability of the proposed legislation, remain unclear. Pediment and Argonaut are cooperating in an active investigation of the matter to reach a definitive understanding of the pending legislation. Based on the information received to date, they understand that that the legislative amendments as originally proposed remain subject to approval of the governor and a possible re-examination by BCS lawmakers.

Gold strahlt heller denn je
Gold hangelt sich weiter von Rekord zu Rekord. Diesmal ist es die europäische Schuldenkrise, die Investoren in den "sicheren Hafen" treibt. Auch Kupfer kostet Rekordpreise, nur Silber verfehlt das Allzeithoch.
Bild zum Artikel

Der Silberpreis kletterte aber immerhin auf den höchsten Stand seit 30 Jahren und übersprang die Marke von 30 Dollar je Feinunze (31,10 Gramm). Nach Golde drängt, am Golde hängt doch alles, heißt es in Goethes Faust – wie recht der Dichter hatte: Der Goldpreis ist am Dienstag auf neue Rekordstände gestiegen.

Sowohl in Dollar als auch in Euro gerechnet war Gold so teuer wie nie. In Dollar kletterte der Preis für eine Feinunze bis auf 1.428,60 US-Dollar. Damit wurde der Vortagesrekord um gut einen Dollar übertroffen. In Euro gerechnet legte der Goldpreis in der Spitze bis auf 1.072,03 Euro zu.
Mehr zum Top-Thema

* IconFotoserie: In Gold investieren

Ein Bündel von Gründen
Commerzbank-Experte Eugen Weinberg fasst die Gründe für den Höhenflug zusammen: "Die Edelmetalle scheinen die Profiteure der gegenwärtigen Unsicherheit an den Märkten zu sein", erklärt der Rohstoffanalyst. "Sowohl die Schuldenproblematik der EU-Peripherieländer als auch die Geldmengenausweitung durch die Fed beflügeln die Preise."

Außerdem seien nach Weinberg die geopolitischen Risiken, die robuste physische Nachfrage aus Asien und die Liquiditätszuflüsse in die Rohstoffmärkte verantwortlich für den stetigen Anstieg.
GOLD in USD/ OZ
1415.73
-7.87
-0.55%

Fonds betreiben window-dressing
Nach Einschätzung der Commerzbank-Experten profitierten neben den Edelmetallen auch andere Rohstoffe vom zunehmenden Interesse spekulativ orientierter Anleger. Einige Fonds wollten offenbar ihre Bilanzen aufhübschen, weil Rohstoffe in den vergangenen Monaten meist kräftig zugelegt haben – das so genannte window-dressing.

Die Analysten der Commerzbank gehen davon aus, dass die meisten institutionellen Investoren, die die Rohstoffpreisentwicklungen in mittelfristiger Sicht maßgeblich beeinflussen, ihre Rohstoffquote zum Jahreswechsel erhöhen werden.

Nach Einschätzung von Ole Hansen, Rohstoffexperte bei der Saxo Bank, dürfte der Trend auch darüber hinaus anhalten: "Zyklische Werte wie Energie und Basismetalle werden auf Grund der anhaltenden weltweiten Wirtschaftserholung 2011 gut performen."

Kupfer kostet Rekordpreis
Der Preis für eine Tonne Kupfer übersprang erstmals die 9.000-Dollar-Marke. Das Industriemetall verteuerte sich um bis zu 2,8 Prozent auf 9014 Dollar je 1.000 Kilogramm. "Der Euro hat sich erholt, und das hat Kupfer angehoben", sagte ein Händler. "Außerdem ist die Nachfrage in China sehr stark."

Offenbar gebe es immer noch zu viele Leute mit zu viel Geld und zu wenig Anlage-Möglichkeiten", sagte Analystin Judy Zhu von Standard Chartered in Shanghai zur jüngsten Preisentwicklung.

Darüber hinaus ergab sich aus den LME-Daten vom Freitag, dass ein Investor 50 bis 80 Prozent aller in den Häusern der Londoner Metallbörse (LME) eingelagerten Kupfer-Bestände kontrolliert. Einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge handelt es sich dabei um die US-Bank JP Morgan Chase.

Das Finanzinstitut, das die Einführung eines börsennotierten Indexfonds (ETF) auf Kupfer plant, kommentierte den Zeitungsbericht nicht. Marktteilnehmer rechnen mit der Markteinführung dieser Papiere, die durch physisch hinterlegtes Kupfer besichert sein werden, nach dem chinesischen Neujahrsfest Anfang Februar 2011. Physisch besicherte Rohstofffonds - ein neuer Trend?

Pediment and Argonaut Announce New Meeting Dates


TORONTO, Ontario - (December 16, 2010) Argonaut Gold Inc. (TSX:AR; "Argonaut") and Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ and OTCBB:PEZGF; "Pediment") announce that, further to their November 22, 2010 announcement of the extension of the deadline for the completion of their business combination transaction from December 23, 2010 to January 31, 2011, the meetings of Argonaut and Pediment shareholders to approve the transaction have now been rescheduled to take place on January 24, 2011. The extension of the completion deadline was implemented to allow Pediment and Argonaut time to investigate proposed amendments to the local environmental laws in the State of Baja California Sur, Mexico the ("BCS") which, if implemented, could adversely affect Pediment's ability to secure a building licence for the development of its San Antonio Project as currently envisioned.

Based on the information received to date, the parties understand that the legislation, as originally proposed, has not been approved by the Governor and the Governor has stated publicly that it will not be approved in its current form. The current sitting of the BCS legislature has now ended. The legislature is not expected to resume sitting until March 2011, at which time new members and a new Governor will be sworn in following elections. There can be no certainty with respect to future legislative action, however, Pediment and Argonaut have held meetings with a variety of local stakeholders and legislators and believe there is broad opposition to the proposed legislation and support for the San Antonio Project.

Argonaut Gold Inc. Announces Mailing of Circular; Seeks Shareholder Support for Business Combination With Pediment Gold
Shareholder Meeting Scheduled for January 24th

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Dec. 23, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Pursuant to its previously announced business combination with Pediment Gold Corp. (TSX:PEZ)(OTCBB:PEZGF), ("Pediment"), Argonaut Gold Inc. (TSX:AR) ("Argonaut" or the "Company") has begun mailing the meeting materials to Argonaut shareholders seeking support for the issuance of shares of Argonaut necessary to complete its business combination with Pediment.

Pediment has also began mailing meeting materials to its shareholders.

On October 18, 2010, Argonaut entered into a binding agreement to complete a business combination (the "Transaction") with Pediment. The combined entity will focus on generating value for its shareholders by increasing production, bringing new and existing projects into production, expanding the resource base, and growing cash flow.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, all of the Pediment common shares (the "Pediment Common Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the business combination shall become exchangeable into the common stock of Argonaut on the basis of 0.625 of a common share of Argonaut for each one (1) Pediment Common Share. Based on the closing price of Argonaut on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on October 18, 2010, the exchange ratio implies an offer price of C$2.56 per Pediment common share and values Pediment's equity at approximately C$137.1 million on a fully diluted in-the-money basis.

Rescheduled Mailing

Pediment and Argonaut delayed the planned mailing to investigate the proposed amendments to the local environmental laws in the State of Baja California Sur, Mexico the ("BCS") which, if implemented, could adversely affect the ability to secure a building licence for the development of its San Antonio Project as currently envisioned.

Based on the information received to date, the parties understand that the legislation, as originally proposed, has not been approved by the Governor and the Governor has stated publicly that it will not be approved in its current form. The current sitting of the BCS legislature has now ended. The legislature is not expected to resume sitting until March 2011, at which time new members and, shortly thereafter, a new Governor will be sworn in, following elections. There can be no certainty with respect to future legislative action, however, Pediment and Argonaut have held meetings with a variety of local stakeholders and legislators and believe there is broad opposition to the proposed legislation and support for the San Antonio Project.

Pediment and Argonaut have, given the results of these investigations to date, determined to proceed with their proposed business combination.

Directors' Recommendation

Directors of both companies have carefully considered the proposed business combination and unanimously recommend that their respective shareholders vote in favour of the business combination. Each Director of the Argonaut Gold Board and Pediment Board intend to vote all their respective shares in favour of the business combination.

Argonaut - Pediment Circular Mailing

The Pediment Circular will be mailed to Pediment shareholders on December 23, 2010 and subsequently be posted on SEDAR.

The Argonaut Circular will be mailed to Argonaut shareholders on December 24, 2010 and subsequently be posted on SEDAR.
