      Hallo

      Desert Sun Mining, relativ unauffälliger kanadischer Junior Miner, bekommt einen neuen CEO, siehe Meldung unten.
      Gleichzeitig kommt der Kurs in die Gänge, was zeigt, daß mit dem heute benannten CEO große Hoffnungen verbunden werden (aktuell +6,7%, bereits gestern wechselten auf einen Schlag über 200000 Aktien den Besitzer).
      Ob das daher kommt, daß der neue von Goldcorp überwechselt? Übernahmefantasie?



      WKN: 904583, Handel in Deutschland kann man aber fast vergessen.

      Desert Sun Appoints Bruce Humphrey President & CEO

      08:09 EDT Tuesday, September 21, 2004

      TORONTO (Business Wire) -- Stan Bharti Appointed Chairman & Gerry McCarvill Appointed Vice-Chairman

      DESERT SUN MINING CORP. (AMEX: DEZ) (TSX: DSM) is pleased to announce that Bruce Humphrey, P.Eng., has joined the firm as President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors. Stan Bharti, P.Eng. has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors and Gerry McCarvill has been appointed Vice Chairman of the Desert Sun Board. Both Messrs. Bharti and McCarvill will continue to be active in the growth of the Company. Mr. Humphrey`s commencement date with the Company will be mid October 2004.

      Mr. Humphrey is a mining engineer with 30 years experience in the mining industry. He has worked for several major mining companies and mining contractors in a variety of engineering, operations and executive management positions. He has been very active in several mining associations and mine safety groups.

      In his most recent position, Mr. Humphrey was Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Goldcorp Inc., (TSX:G) (NYSE:GG). His responsibilities included the re-development, start-up and operation of the high grade Red Lake Mine as well as the Exploration Group and Goldcorp`s operations in South Dakota and Saskatchewan.

      Mr. Humphrey`s considerable experience in operating significant gold mining operations is a great step forward as the Company enters this all important stage of building a world class mining company. Mr. Humphrey`s compensation package includes a grant of options which is subject to shareholder approval.

      nicht nur ein neuer CEO, sondern auch:
      sehr interessante Investoren. In Q1 wird angefangen zu produzieren. In Q2 werden die 100.000 oz/y Produktionsrate erreicht. Bei sehr niedrigen Cashcosts könnte das wohl ca. 20.000.000 Mio Gewinn pro Jahr heißen. Bei einem durschittlichen KGV von 25 würde das für die Marketcap 500 Mio USD als gerechtfertig bedeuten....... oder ca. 8$ pro share. Und das aus nur einem sehr kleinen Teil der Jacobia Mine.

      Renowned Gold Expert Ferdinand Lips Joins Desert Sun Advisory Committee
      Tuesday January 11, 12:10 pm ET

      TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 11, 2005--The Board of Directors of Desert Sun Mining Corp (TSX:DSM - News; AMEX:DEZ - News) is pleased to announce that Ferdinand Lips has joined the Company`s Advisory Board. Mr. Lips is a well-known fund manager and is one of the world`s foremost authorities on the gold market.

      Stan Bharti, P.Eng., Chairman of Desert Sun commented: "We are very pleased that Ferdinand Lips has joined the Advisory Board of Desert Sun Mining. His vast knowledge and experience will be an invaluable addition to the strong group of Advisors we have assembled."

      Born in Switzerland, Ferdinand Lips has over 50 years experience in banking and finance. Over his career he has been Managing Director of Rothschild Bank AG, Zurich and Chief Executive Officer of his own Private Bank, in addition to a top-performing precious metals fund manager. With 30 years direct experience in the gold industry, Mr. Lips has served as a Director of Randgold & Exploration (JSE:RNG), Randgold Resources (LSE:RRS.L - News), and Durban Roodeport Deep (Nasdaq:DROOY - News). He is currently Chairman and manager of the Top-Gold Fund, based in the Principality of Liechtenstein.

      Mr. Lips was a founding member of the Swiss Association of Security Analysts and is a trustee of FAME, Foundation for the Advancement of Monetary Education, based in New York. He has widely lectured on monetary history, bonds and stock markets.

      In addition to Ferdinand Lips, the Desert Sun Advisory Board includes William Clarke, former Canadian Ambassador to Brazil, David Williamson, a mining and commodity analyst in London, UK, Dr. Rick Garnett, a geologist with over 40 years experience worldwide, and Dr. Chuck Thorman, a recognized expert in the geology of Brazil.

      Desert Sun Mining is a Canadian gold exploration and development company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange. Desert Sun owns 100% of the Jacobina Mine and the 155 km long Bahia Gold Belt in the state of Bahia, in northeastern Brazil. The mine will re-start operations in the first quarter of 2005. The SNC Lavalin Feasibility Study, completed in September 2003, indicates that the mine can produce at a rate of 102,000 ounces of gold per year at an average cash cost of US $189 per ounce.

      As a result of the 2004 exploration program, both Measured and Indicated resources and Inferred resources have increased significantly. Current Measured and Indicated resources now total 24,800,000 tonnes @ 2.53 g/t Au containing 2,050,000 ounces of gold. Inferred Resources total 22,000,000 tonnes @ 2.61 g/t Au containing 1,900,000 ounces of gold. The company is in the process of updating its Reserve Estimate.

      Desert Sun previously released (see press release of February 12, 2004 and report filed on SEDAR) the results of a scoping study by SRK Consulting that extended the SNC Lavalin Feasibility Study mine plan an additional 11 years by scheduling the potentially "mineable tonnes" resulting from the conversion of inferred resources based on historical data. SRK Consulting considered that Jacobina has the potential to deliver "economically mineable tonnes" containing 2 million recoverable ounces of gold and that the optimum production rate at Jacobina was likely 5,200 tonnes per day or 154,000 ounces of gold per year. While, it must be cautioned that the SRK study is not adequate to definitely confirm the economics of the inferred mineral resources, the 2004 drilling program has successfully upgraded a substantial amount of the existing inferred resource to the indicated category which can now form the basis for an expanded feasibility study.

      Desert Sun Intersects 5.46 gAu/T OVER 21.9m Along the Bahia Gold Belt at Pindobacu, 50km North of Jacobina Mine
      Wednesday January 19, 10:57 am ET

      TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2005--DESERT SUN MINING CORP. (TSX:DSM - News; AMEX:DEZ - News) has received the results of a reconnaissance diamond drill program to test several target areas in the northern portion of the Bahia Gold Belt in Northeastern Brazil. In total, 10 holes totaling 2,000m were completed on selected targets over an area of 50 km by 5 km that were identified by geological mapping/sampling, soil geochemical sampling and induced polarization geophysical surveys. Results from this drilling are given in Table 1 and Figure 1 shows the location of the areas where drilling was completed. The most significant results were obtained from the Pindobacu area located 50km due north of the town of Jacobina.
      Highlights from drilling at Pindobacu are:

      PB-02 which intersected 5.46 grams gold per tonne (g Au/t) over a true width of 21.9m including higher grade portions grading 12.27 g Au/t over a true width of 4.7m and 10.22 g Au/t over 5.5 m true width;
      PB-03, collared 250m south of PB-02, that returned 1.46 g Au/t over a true width of 24.4m; and
      PB-01, collared 120m north of PB-02 that intersected 7.20 g Au/t over a true width of 2.0m
      Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration commented "These are excellent results from just very limited drilling on this very extensive mineralized structure. The mineralogy and geochemistry of this system is remarkably similar to the gold mineralization in the quartz pebble conglomerates in the Jacobina mine area to the south. The regional Pindobacu Fault system, which forms the eastern boundary of the Jacobina Basin, is clearly a major focus of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization. This mineralized structure probably extends for at least 15km along strike and the alteration zone is up to 100m wide."

      Bruce Humphrey, P.Eng., President stated "We are initiating a $US5 million exploration program for 2005 which will include at least 25,000 metres of diamond drilling. This program will focus on further exploring and developing major targets in the Jacobina mine area as well as significantly expanding the exploration work in the northern area of the Bahia Gold Belt, especially at Pindobacu."

      The Pindobacu target is accessible by paved road from Jacobina and is 2km west of the town of Pindobacu. At Pindobacu, there are a number of active garimpos (free miner workings) which extend along a strike length of 1.2km as shown in Figure 2. Gold occurs as fine to locally coarse-grained native gold or associated with pyrite (or its weathered product, goethite) with tourmaline and fuchsite in quartz vein stockworks along low-angle thrust faults, high-angle reverse faults and fractures.

      The host rocks are metagraywacke, banded iron formation and metachert of the Archean Mundo Novo Formation and strongly silicified and fuchsitic, fine to coarse-grained quartzite with minor metaconglomerates lenses of the Paleoproterozoic Jacobina Group. Alteration and mineralization occur along the contact zones of these major rock units associated with fault structures of the regional Pindobacu Fault system which forms the eastern margin of the Jacobina Basin.

      Montana Minerals investigated this area during the mid-1980`s by trenching and some shallow diamond drilling. After Montana, a number of garimpeiros starting mining some of the mineralized outcrops and carried out shallow underground mining, an activity that is locally and currently underway. Only partial information on the results of the Montana work is available from a report filed with the Departamento Nacional da Producao Mineral (DNPM).

      Trenching and pitting by Montana was reported to outline a N10 degrees E trending mineralized zone 18 metres thick with an average grade of 1.91 g Au/t over a strike length of 800m. According to the DNPM report, Montana completed 18 shallow diamond drill holes of which only partial results are included in the report from which samples from 13 of these holes were selected for metallurgical testing. The head grade of the composite of core samples was reported to be 4.52 g Au/t with recovery after a 30 day bottle roll test reported to be 82.1%.

      Geological mapping, IP surveys and rock/soil geochemical surveys by DSM indicates that the hydrothermal alteration zone is much more extensive than indicated by the previous work. The zone has been traced for at least 3.2km along strike at Pindobacu and it probably extends a further 10km to the north to Fumaca. The alteration zone is up to 100m wide.

      A three hole drill program totaling 633m was completed to test different areas of the alteration system. Hole PB-02 intersected 5.46 grams gold per tonne (g Au/t) over a true width of 21.9m including higher grade portions grading 12.27 g Au/t over a true width of 4.7m and 10.22 g Au/t over 5.5 m true width. Hole PB-03, collared 250m south of PB-02, returned 1.46 g Au/t over a true width of 24.4m while Hole PB-1, collared 120m north of PB-02 intersected 7.20 g Au/t over a true width of 2.0m.

      At Fumaca, located 10km north of Pindobacu, four (4) holes were completed to test several targets outlined by geological mapping/sampling, soil geochemical surveys and induced polarization surveys. Hole FN-01 tested below a garimpo where sampling by DSM had returned 7.36 g Au/t over 4.5m including a very high grade bluish-grey quartz vein 0.3m wide that returned 91 g Au/t. Although this hole intersected strongly silicified quartzites, it appears that faulting has offset the downdip extension of this zone. Hole FN-2A tested a coincident soil Au geochemical and geophysical anomaly and returned 0.72 g Au/t over 10.1m including a higher grade portion grading 1.95 g Au/t over 2.2m. Hole FN-03, located 300m west of FN-04, tested a similar target but did not intersect any significant values. Results for FN-04 located 700m east of Hole FN-1 are pending.

      One drill hole was completed in each of two areas of garimpos 10km (Sambura) and 23km (Biquinha) south of Pindobacu, respectively. Both of these areas are characterized by the presence of high grade (15-30 g Au/t) narrow (1-2cm wide) quartz veins cutting andalusite-graphite-quartz schists; neither hole returned significant values. Hole CA-01 tested the potential extension of the Serra do Corrego Formation conglomerates 10km north of Jacobina. This hole intersected green fuchsite-bearing conglomerates similar to those in the Jacobina mine area but did not return any significant values.

      Desert Sun owns 100% of the Jacobina Mine and the 155 km long Bahia Gold Belt in the state of Bahia, in northeastern Brazil. The mine will re-start operations in the first quarter of 2005. Based on the SNC Lavalin Feasibility Study which used a gold price of US $350 per ounce and a Real (Brazilian currency) to $ US exchange rate of 3:1, the mine can produce at a rate of 102,000 ounces of gold per year at an average cash cost of US $189 per ounce.

      Assaying for the program was carried out by Lakefield Geosol, an ISO 9001, 2000 laboratory based in Brazil, using fire assay on 50 gram pulps. Check assaying is routinely carried out, by ALS Chemex in Vancouver, on 10% of sample pulps and 5% of sample rejects. Independent standard reference samples are also inserted at regular intervals into each batch of analyses. Security is maintained at the core logging and sampling facility. Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the scientific and technical work on the program.

      Desert Sun poised as emerging gold producer

      Firm lands on some radar screens after former Goldcorp executive took helm

      By WENDY STUECK

      00:00 EST Saturday, January 29, 2005

      VANCOUVER -- While some gold investors may be transfixed by the battle between Goldcorp Inc. and Glamis Gold Ltd., others are looking further down the gold-producing chain, trying to zero in on emerging producers that might themselves become the object of a takeover bid.

      That group includes Desert Sun Mining Corp., a Toronto-based company now working on a restart of Jacobina, a Brazilian gold property that produced about 700,000 ounces between 1983 and 1998 before it was closed by a former operator as a result of sagging prices for its output.

      Desert Sun moved on to some radar screens last September, when it hired Bruce Humphrey as president and chief executive officer.

      Mr. Humphrey, 53, is former senior vice-president and chief operating officer at Toronto-based Goldcorp, where he oversaw operations at Red Lake, the Northern Ontario gold mine that is Goldcorp`s flagship asset.

      Red Lake, shuttered during a bitter four-year strike between June, 1996, and April, 2000, is known for high grades and consistent profitability. Goldcorp proudly calls it the "richest gold mine in the world."

      But impressive as it is, Red Lake is only one mine, and Goldcorp is widely seen as needing to build beyond that base.

      Mr. Humphrey -- along with former corporate development officer Chris Bradbrook -- quit Goldcorp last April, reportedly over a difference with Goldcorp CEO Rob McEwen over strategic direction for the company.

      Goldcorp is pursuing a friendly takeover of Vancouver-based Wheaton River Minerals Ltd. that was announced Dec. 5. But Goldcorp and Wheaton are fighting a pitched battle against Glamis, which unveiled its own hostile bid for Goldcorp on Dec. 16, revealing that it had spent much of the previous year talking to Goldcorp about a possible deal between the two companies.

      According to a Glamis takeover bid circular, Mr. Humphrey was at a meeting last March when representatives from both companies got together to discuss possible terms.

      Mr. Humphrey, who was in Vancouver this week for a mining conference, declined to talk about Goldcorp, saying he preferred to focus on the prospects of Desert Sun.

      He said he was attracted by the relatively straightforward geology of the Jacobina project, which comprises three former mines and a processing plant near the town of Jacobina in northeastern Brazil.

      And he likes the odds of finding more gold in the Bahia gold belt. Jacobina is at one end of the belt, a gold-bearing region estimated to be about 150 kilometres long.

      "One of the things that makes Desert Sun stand out is the resource growth potential," says Rodney Stevens, an analyst with Salman Partners Inc. in Vancouver. "They have 100-per-cent ownership of a large gold belt that could potentially be a multimillion-dollar asset. And in 2005, they are going to have a significant drill program to try and demonstrate that."

      Desert Sun signed a deal to earn a 50-per-cent interest in Jacobina in May, 2002, and exercised an option to boost its stake to 100 per cent in September, 2003.

      The company is now focused on getting into production, a goal it hopes to reach in the first half of this year, and additional exploration.

      Target production is about 103,000 ounces a year -- a relatively small amount, but big enough to perhaps draw the attention of mid-sized companies looking to boost their own production.

      "You need at least 100,000 ounces and the potential for more" to draw the attention of potential buyers, Mr. Stevens said.

      "Once these companies are in production, that improves their attraction as a potential takeover target," he said.

      Mr. Stevens sees Desert Sun as part of a pack that includes Alamos Gold Inc., Bolivar Gold Corp., High River Gold Mines Ltd. and Nevsun Resources Ltd.

      Desert Sun shares fell 3 cents Friday to close at $2.14 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The company`s shares have gained 45.6 per cent over the last 12 months.

      Desert Sun haben wir - der Trierer Aktienclub 2000, http://www.TAC2000.de - schon über 1 Jahr im Depot. Die Position haben wir kürzlich aufgestockt weil der Wert nach wie vor sehr günstig bewertet ist, wenn man bedenkt dass die Produktion bereits angelaufen ist.

      Ich nehme an DEZ wird eine echte Erfolgsgeschichte. Humphrey und Lips dürften wissen was sie tun... ;) Noch sind die Reserven und Ressourcen vergleichsweise gering, aber sie rechtfertigen auch schon jetzt höhere Kurse, wenn es bei den anvisierten Cash Kosten von 200 USD/oz bleibt.

      Hier die aktuelle Unternehmenspräsentation:

      sehe ich auch so. Im Moment ist der Preis halt so niedrig weil es kaum aufmerksamkeit gibt und die 200$ cash costs halt noch gezeigt werden müssen.
      Ich schätze spätestens mit dem q1 Quartalsergebnis werden wir hier andere Regionen sehen.
