APOGEE Minerals ..Silberwert mit mehreren 100 Mio Unzen ganz am Anfang..für nur 20 Mio€.... - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[German2]

wer nicht weiss wohin mit den Gewinnen.. mal ein Tip: (bitte nicht böse sein, soll kein Spam sein, nur dieses eine posting, denn es geht meiner Meinung nach um eine extrem billige Silberperle)


zu APOGEE Minerals gibts hier auch einen Thread ,der leider etwas eingeschlafen ist. Apogee besitzt riesige Silbervorkommen die einst in Produktion waren (Bolivien) . Es handelt sich um hunderte Millionen Unzen. Die Lagerstätten werden gerade neu exploriert um die Resourcen in NI 43-101 einzustufen. Der Clou: Apogee ist gerade mal 30 Mio Can$ wert. Die Silbergrade sind erstklassig,die Projekte weit fortgeschritten und von riesigen Ausmassen....nicht verpassen bzw. mal auf die Watchlist setzen..

Company Profile

Apogee Minerals Ltd. is a newly-created Canadian mining and exploration company developing advanced Silver-Zinc and has several projects in South America. Apogee’s experienced management team is focused on projects that offer significant exploration upside along with the potential to be rapidly developed into producing assets. Projects that fit this profile will typically have a history of past production and/or a significant amount of quality exploration data from previous work. Apogee can then add value by investing capital, upgrading mining methods, and providing expertise where needed. All of the company’s projects fit this “advanced exploration and development” model:

La Solucion

The La Solucion Mine has been producing for the past 14 years at the rate of 40,000 tonnes per year. Production grades have averaged 20 ounces per tonne silver equivalent (150 g/t Silver, 7% Zinc, and 3% Lead).

Pulacayo-Paca

A Joint Venture with Apex Silver of Denver, Colorado (American Stock Exchange symbol:SIL) to develop the Pulacayo Mine, the second-largest silver mine in the history of Bolivia with over 600 million ounces of past production, and the Paca project, a large dacitic dome with open-pit potential.

Buena Vista

The Buena Vista project is located in the historic and prolific Potosi Department in southwest Bolivia. Mining at Buena Vista dates back to the 16th century. The project hosts a known mineralization in the form of a vein system of that extends across the project for at least 1.5 kilometers. The structure is visible on surface, is near-vertical, ranges from 1 meter to 30 meters in width, and has been tested to a depth of 150 meters.

Candelaria at Santa Isabel

The mines at Candelaria at Santa Isabel have been exploited historically for silver since the middle of the 16th Century. The geological environment is similar to that of the San Cristobal Deposit, owned by Apex Silver, which is a better-known Bolivian example of this mineralization style.

Apogee completed a Phase I drilling program in late 2004/early 2005 which yielded very positive showings of Silver, Zinc, Lead and Indium.

Tiawanaku

Tiawanaku is a 250 hectare concession in northwest Bolivia with historic Silver-Zinc production that dates back to the Spanish Colonial period. Many old mining adits and tailings dumps are visible, as is an intensely-altered Silver-Zinc mineralized system.

Auch das Management ist erstklassig und hat einen guten Track-record:

TORONTO, ON January 19, 2006 Apogee Minerals Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange: APE) is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 4,000m diamond drilling program at the Pulacayo-Paca silver-zinc-lead project, a joint venture with Apex Silver Mines Limited (AMEX:SIL)(See Press Release September 12, 2005).

The Pulacayo-Paca project is located 460 km south of La Paz in the historic Potosi Department of Southwestern Bolivia, near the city of Uyuni in the middle of the San Cristobal-Potosi Silver Belt, a wide, well-mineralized string of silver deposits that extends from the southwest to the northeast and includes the three largest silver deposits in Bolivian history (Potosi, San Cristobal, and Pulacayo). In 2002, exploration work by Apex Silver discovered several additional zones of silver-zinc-lead mineralization within the vein system at the Pulacayo Mine that are both broad and high-grade.

Phase 1 Exploration Program

The current program will consist of a comprehensive program of geological mapping, surface and underground sampling and diamond drilling to confirm historical work and results of more recent exploration by Apex Silver (see below) and to define mineral resources at both Pulacayo and Paca.

Preliminary evaluation of the Pacamayo zone adjacent to the Pulacayo Mine where co-operative miners are exploiting hand picked high grade ore (Apogee grab sample of miners’ “ore”: 3300g/t Ag, 5.88% Pb, 3.59% Zn) is also planned.

Surface chip and channel sampling at Pulacayo and Pacamayo has been completed and initial results (incomplete) have returned anomalous silver and lead values. Results of underground channel sampling, which is continuing, have not been received.

Geological mapping at the Paca prospect indicates that mineralization reported by Apex Silver in their 2002 drilling is predominantly “mantos” style within the shallow, flat-lying sedimentary unit.

The initial drill program will consist of approximately 4,000m of surface and underground diamond drilling at Pulacayo (2100m) and Paca (1900m). Drillholes will be designed to confirm 2002 drillholes completed by Apex Silver to verify the integrity of previous drill results, to infill between drillholes to confirm the geological interpretation and continuity of mineralization between holes and, beneath or along strike from previous intersections to extend potential resource blocks where no drilling exists (Figure 1).

Surface drilling commenced on January 16, 2006 and an underground drill rig will be added mid-February; it is anticipated the program will be completed late March.

Apogee President & CEO, John Carlesso commented: “I am very pleased with the efforts our Bolivian technical staff have made to compile historical information and complete necessary geological work in preparation for this initial drill program and look forward to being able to report favourable drill results to our shareholders at the conclusion of the program which will be the basis for future resource estimates and advancement of the project to production.”

History of Pulacayo-Paca Silver Mines

Discovered in 1883, the Pulacayo Silver Mine is the second largest silver mine in Bolivia after Cerro Rico de Potosi and one of the most important in Latin America, having produced over 206 million ounces of silver, 180,000 tonnes of zinc, and 180,000 tonnes of lead from 1883 to 1959 (ref. Sergeomin – Bulletin No 30, 2002). Production has been mainly from the non-outcropping Tajo vein system which was exploited to a depth of 1000 meters and averaged 30 ounces per tonne of silver over a strike length of 2500 meters. Revenue from the mine funded the first railway line to Bolivia, which connected the mine to the port of Antofagasta, Chile in 1888. Today the project is located 45 km by gravel road from the city of Uyuni which is connected by highway and railway to the sea port Antofagasta. The site contains all necessary services; power, water and an experienced labour force from the surrounding village of Pulacayo.

The Geology of Pulacayo and Paca

Silver-zinc-lead mineralization at Pulacayo-Paca is related to a high level epithermal system hosted in an east-west vein structure which cuts a series of Tertiary dacite to andesite porphyritic intrusive rocks and andesite flows which intrude Tertiary sandstones and conglomerates. The structure consists of a number of veins, veinlets and stockwork. The structure has been traced along strike for 2500 metres and to a vertical depth of 1000 metres and remains open. The width of the structure varies from 0.50 metre to 50 metres. Mineralization consists of silica, opal, barite, pyrite, ruby silver, argentite, galena and sphalerite.

Mineralization at Pulacayo and Pacamayo zones appear to be primarily associated with the Tajo and related vein structures. At Paca, Apex Silver identified two structures, a sub-vertical vein structure (feeder breccia) related to a dacite-andesite dome, similar to Pulacayo, and a second sub-horizontal (mantos) structure hosted in the sedimentary rocks.

Recent Work Completed by Apex Silver

At Pulacayo, Apex Silver has completed 3,130 meters of diamond drilling and intercepted mineralization in the Tajo vein. The most significant assays reported by Apex in a Press Release dated October 23, 2002 are summarized in Table 1, Apogee Press Release September 13, 2005 and include:

• 20.0* meters of 16.68 ounces/t Silver, 4.17% Zinc, and 2.29% Lead
• 8.0* meters of 16.81 ounces/t Silver, 2.42% Zinc, and 2.24% Lead
• 10.5* meters of 1.75 ounces/t Silver, 5.02% Zinc, and 1.37% Lead
• 25.0* meters of 1.19 ounces/t Silver, 4.90% Zinc, and 1.01% Lead
• 2.0* meters of 37.90 ounces/t Silver, 3.61% Zinc, and 3.38% Lead
• 2.0* meters of 86.10 ounces/t Silver, 2.46% Zinc, and 5.91% Lead
(*All intercepts reported as True Widths)

The work by Apex Silver has outlined a significant zone of mineralization. This zone has been traced by drilling along strike for 900 metres and to a vertical depth of 840 metres. This structure varies in thickness from 10 to 50 metres. Further work is warranted to outline a significant mineral resource. Other work conducted by Apex Silver includes metallurgical testing on mineralized samples which demonstrated that flotation could produce zinc concentrates containing 3.30 kg/t silver and lead concentrates containing 10.9 kg/t Silver.

At Paca, Apex completed 3,448 meters of diamond drilling and 896 meters of Reverse- Circulation (RC) drilling. Some of the more significant assays reported in a Press Release dated October 23, 2002 are listed in Table 2, Apogee Press Release September 13, 2005 and include:

• 30.0* meters of 10.04 ounces/t Silver, 0.46% Zinc, and 0.88% Lead
• 22.0* meters of 12.26 ounces/t Silver, 2.49% Zinc, and2.55% Lead
• 18.0* meters of 5.26 ounces/t Silver, 0.34% Zinc, and 1.07% Lead
• 16.0* meters of 5.82 ounces/t Silver, 0.57% Zinc, and 1.34% Lead
(*All intercepts reported as True Widths)


Terms of the Agreement

Under the terms of the agreement Apogee has the right to earn from Apex a 60% interest in the Property, which consists of sixteen (16) concessions totalling 33,978 hectares, by completing a bankable feasibility study and by spending US$ 1 million in exploration within three years of the Earn-In Period, including US$ 250,000 within the first six months of the Earn-In Period. Apogee will be the operator of all work programs on the property. In the event that the Feasibility Study evidences a critical mass of resources, Apex will have the option to increase its interest in the property to 60% by developing the property to production. Apex will also have the option to invest up to US$ 1 million in Apogee via private placement during the Earn-In Period subject to regulatory approval.

Mr. Douglas A. Currie, Vice President-Exploration, is the Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the scientific and technical work on the exploration program and responsible for reviewing the technical disclosure in this press release.

...ein haken ist das poitische Risiko Boliviens, aber der Miningminister hat deutlich gemacht, das ausländische Investitionen erwünscht sind . Es wird an klaren Gesetzen und Verlässlichkeit gearbeitet. Dieses Risiko ist also im Moment eher zu vernachlässigen.

TORONTO, ON March 6, 2006 At a Press Conference in Toronto, Canada yesterday hosted by Apogee Minerals Ltd. (TSX Venture Exchange: APE), Minister of Mines and Metallurgy of the Republic of Bolivia, Mr. Walter Villaroel delivered a positive message regarding the resource potential in Bolivia and the Bolivian government’s desire to welcome input from business interests while formulating mining policy, in an effort to attract investment capital for the development of the country’s resources.

Speaking live via videoconference from La Paz, Bolivia Minister Villaroel stated: “I am pleased to send the message from my President that ‘we are working hard to establish the legal security that investment in the mining industry requires on a long-term basis’”. He further stated that the government fully understands that “development is not achieved with speeches, but with the proper combination of work and capital” and that “for the mining industry to be successful it is necessary to have a ‘social license’” or “equilibrium respecting benefits to investors, the country that hosts them and the original communities that exist in the areas of mineral potential. Any government that does not take these variables into consideration risks the mistake of imposing conditions that would harm mining investment. We will not make that mistake”.

The Minister also discussed ideas to generate investment in both large and small mining projects and noted Apex Silver’s San Cristobal project as an example of the discovery potential that exists in the western mountain ranges of the Bolivian Altiplano.

Apogee President John Carlesso stated: “We have found the new, democratically-elected government of Bolivia to be very open to discussion, open to new ideas, and very responsible and pragmatic in their dealings with us. It is very clear that this government understands the fundamental issues to attract investment capital as well as the conditions that must be maintained to allow those investments, and the resulting social benefits, to thrive. We anticipate that the country will continue to be a stable, positive growth platform for our business”.

...Meiner Meinung nach winken hier super Gewinne. Wir haben es hier mit keiner Klitsche zu tun, sondern mit einer Firma dessen Projekte von der Grösse her seines Gleichen suchen. Auch die vorkommen an Zink und INDIUM (Weltvorräte gehen zur neige und es gibt nur noch einen Monopolisten (Dowa Mining)..Indium wird im Hightechbereich dringend benötigt) sind nicht zu vernachlässigen...


..also, schlau machen...

@German2

..du hast das ganz übersichtlich zusammengeschrieben - auch wenn es schon einen Thread gibt - meine Meinung: seit letzter Woche bin ich dabei - Wermutstropfen, allen Beteuerungen zum Trotz, ist für mich die Situation in Bolivien - eine gewisse Unsicherheit ist schon da - ich weiß nicht wie links die Regierung steht aber wenn das Projekt erfolgreich ist und die Regierung hätte auf einmal doch gerne ein großes Stück vom Kuchen?
Jedenfalls habe ich für mich die Chancen gegenüber den Risiken übergewichtet und werde die weitere Entwickung abwarten

Greetings

...die Chancen sind bei diesen riesigen projekten auf alle Fälle grösser als die Risiken.. bis zum Abbau dauert es noch. Der Wert sollte bereits deutlich steigen nachdem die ersten Resourceneinstufungen nach NI 43-101 bekannt werden... bisher ist der Wert einfach noch nicht gecovert (mehr ein Geheimtip)
