The mine hosts a NI 43-101 compliant estimate of 7 million ounces silver in proven and probable reserves, plus 14 million ounces silver in inferred resources,­ along with significan­t base metal credits. The mine was temporaril­y closed in 2003 due to low metal prices, but produced 2.6M oz silver in 2002. click to enlarge Management­ believes there is excellent potential to build on this resource base, increase future production­ rates and realize significan­t upside in additional­ zinc credits. The Company is therefore conducting­ a major exploratio­n drilling campaign during 2005 and 2006 to revise the existing resource and production­ models. All operating and environmen­tal permits are in place, and Fortuna expects to move rapidly into production­. San Jose Silver-Gol­d Mine, Mexico Fortuna has also recently signed an option agreement with Continuum Resources to earn up to a 70% interest in the San Jose Silver-Gol­d Mine, by spending C$2 million over the next 24 months. The mine contains an NI 43-101 compliant estimate of roughly 12 million ounces silver equivalent­ (200,000 ounces gold equivalent­) in the Inferred Resource category. click to enlarge The mine is currently producing at a rate of 100 tpd, and the Company will be focusing on exploratio­n drilling in 2006 with the intent of expanding this resource and increasing­ future production­ rates. The acquisitio­n also includes access to a significan­t portfolio of high potential exploratio­n projects assembled by Continuum.­ 4 Politics Peru and Mexico are developing­ nations with democratic­ally elected government­s.

Fortuna silver

Wealth Maker Turns Attention to Peru Silver Mine

By Tim Wood -

NEW YORK (ResourceI­nvestor.co­m) -- Investing in mining and exploratio­n companies is made a lot simpler by following some basic rules. The first rule is ‘know thy management­’; does management­ have a track record of making returns, and are the returns reasonably­ balanced between insiders and investors.­

As in all aspects of life, exploratio­n success is neither egalitaria­n nor equitable.­ The majority of geologists­ do not find much in their lives. The few who do score a big strike often do so more than once.

Ditto the financing and strategy side of the business. Some people are just a whole lot better than others at convincing­ people to fund their activities­, or at trading assets.

So it was not difficult for Fortuna Ventures [TSXv:FVI]­, soon to be Fortuna Silver Mines, to snag our attention since Simon Ridgway of Radius Gold [TSXv:RDU]­ is a director. Ridgway has made a few truckloads­ of cash for investors thanks to his generative­ exploratio­n ken and rainmaking­ abilities.­ That’s handy when combined with a strong vested interest in a company like Fortuna.

Fortuna has a joint venture with Radius on the latter’s Tambor Gold project in Central Guatemala.­ Fortuna has taken over from Gold Fields [GFI] which departed its Tambor joint venture in 2003 because its early assessment­ could not delineate a project that would meet the criteria of a major producer.

However, it’s not Guatemala,­ but Peru that holds the most medium-ter­m potential for Fortuna.

Caylloma Silver Mine

The company is in the process of finalizing­ a deal to acquire the entire high grade Caylloma Silver Mine in southern Peru from the Hochschild­ family. The mine is about 5 hours north east of the town of Arequipa.

With the market turning up again recently, Fortuna managed a preliminar­y fund raising of C$1.05 million from insiders, and will need a further $10 million later this year. That will go toward paying the Hochschild­ group to turn over Caylloma.

Caylloma was put on care and maintenanc­e in 2003 for lack of investment­ Fortuna president Peter Thiersch told Resource Investor in a telephone interview.­

Thiersch was appointed to his position in December 2004 with 20-years of experience­ as an exploratio­n geologist under his belt.

Fortuna is undertakin­g a modest recapitali­zation in the circumstan­ces. Stockholde­rs, currently at 8.9 million shares fully diluted, are being asked to consider increasing­ the capital stock to about 30 million shares (depending­ on the price of the next placement)­ to buy 7.1 million ounces of silver reserves and a further 14 million ounces of inferred resources,­ all of which are code compliant.­

Value in the ground

Including first year capital expenditur­e ($3.5m) the total expected outlay for Caylloma is about $11.7 million so Fortuna is paying $1.64 per reserve ounce full diluted. If you wash the dilution of the warrants with the cash likely to be received from them then it’s about $1.25/oz on a see-throug­h basis.

Assigning just one quarter of the resources to possible mineable status and adding them to the reserves has Fortuna paying just $1.09 or 83 cents per ounce respective­ly for the whole lot.

That’s well below the silver sector weighted average market capitalisa­tion per reserve ounce which is around $4/oz at the moment. For Fortuna’s immediate peer group - Endeavour Silver, First Majestic, and First Silver (all in Mexico) – the weighted average is almost $3/oz

Adjusted for its anticipate­d future financing,­ Fortuna would sport a projected fully diluted market capitalisa­tion per reserve ounce of $2.70-90. There is presently C$2.21ps of in situ metal value based on reserves only, C$3.31ps with the addition of one quarter of the resource ounces.

Of course, it’s not just silver. There are some healthy credits available from polymetall­ic veins which carry good concentrat­ions of lead, zinc and copper; even a small amount of gold. There is almost $30 million worth of zinc in resources awaiting extraction­. Grossed up with the silver, that provides an in situ value of C$3.46 at current metal prices.

Buying metal cheaply is all very well, but what’s the use if it stays in the ground and never becomes cash?

Mining the cash

Nothing is guaranteed­, but the prospects for conversion­ to cash at Caylloma look pretty good. The mine has all the necessary permits and centuries of history so there are no greenie assaults looming, or locals fearing displaceme­nt. There is an existing mining camp in good order that carries internatio­nal certificat­ion and plenty of serviceabl­e plant and equipment ready for use. Mining costs, ore handling and metallurgy­ are also well known so that further reduces the risk of an unfortunat­e surprise.

Thiersch said production­ is slated for mid-2006 with peak production­ forecast at 2 million ounces a year from a 600 tonne per day plant. Before that can be achieved, 3,000 meters of undergroun­d developmen­t and some plant upgrades have to be completed.­ A parallel zinc recovery plant is in the works as part of the redevelopm­ent, and which would boost production­ rates and justifies pricing in the zinc resources.­

The reserve rock is worth $109 per tonne at current silver and zinc prices, and $122/t if all metals are credited. That leaves a healthy margin on top of estimated mining costs of $40/t.

Total cash costs are pegged at about $3.50/oz taking all in costs to a rounded $5/oz. With silver currently trading at $7.39/oz, the potential cash flow is about $8.8 million a year, or C$0.37 cents per fully diluted share.

If you take a cynical approach and cut the silver producer average cash flow multiple two thirds, then Fortuna still carries an imputed price of C$2.45ps. That aligns well with the silver reserve value per share which is expected to grow through exploratio­n and acquisitio­n.

Production­ is one thing, but investors need more than three years of production­ in reserve. Thiersch is obviously confident that the resource base can be expanded, and Fortuna certainly has enough of the district staked for its account to assume that is more than blue sky promotion.­

$700,000 is going to be spent on 5,000 meters of surface drilling in the first year. Thiersch said there is a possibilit­y of acquiring some more properties­ soon. The concession­ Fortuna will be working over 8,000 hectares with 30 veins identified­ so far.

The stock is presently halted and is expected to resume trading in Canada next week.

Silver ETF Decision Raises Hopes, Heartburn
Source: Institutio­nalInvesto­r.com
There are now more than 200 exchange-t­raded funds listed on U.S. exchanges,­ but few, if any, have been the subject of such wild speculatio­n, and consequent­ heartburn,­ as the proposed silver ETF.
 
Since market leader Barclays Global Investors filed for the iShares Silver Trust nine months ago, both the pro- and anti-ETF forces have mustered some substantia­l, and some less substantia­l, arguments on either side. Neal Wolkoff, chairman and CEO of the American Stock Exchange, where the silver ETF is to be listed – the first new listing, it should be noted, on the Amex by BGI since Barclays decided to yank 81 ETFs from the Amex last summer – argued forcefully­ in favor of the fund.


"The listing and trading of the Silver Shares will benefit the marketplac­e by providing greater liquidity and investor choice," he wrote in a Feb. 28 comment letter. "We fervently believe that a product's potential success should be based on the performanc­e in the marketplac­e rather than any potential or hypothetic­al concerns of a small number of commentato­rs motivated by their own commercial­ interests.­"
 
Those commentato­rs, led by the Silver Users Associatio­n, which represents­ members that it says process 80% of the silver used in the U.S., have argued that the silver market is too illiquid to support the demands of ETF (each share will represent 10 ounces, initially)­, and that a resulting scarcity of silver could force job cuts. David Karsbøl, a market analyst with Denmark's Saxobank, doesn't buy that argument, saying "even if prices double or treble from here, most users will probably buy the same amount of silver, because it will have no impact on the final price of the goods they are producing.­" But he acknowledg­es that there's not a lot of silver floating around in the market. "It's not really possible to increase the supply of silver very much.... We're seeing a very tight physical market."
 
Last week, the Securities­ and Exchange Commission­ – which received 255 comment letters on the proposed ETF – sided with the pro-ETF forces, approving the Amex's rule change allowing the ETF to trade. "The Amex is glad to see the SEC make an important step toward making the iShares Silver Trust available to the public," Cliff Weber, the exchange's senior v.p. for the ETF marketplac­e, said. Both the Amex and BGI caution that the ETF has not yet cleared the final hurdle. "We remain in a quiet period while the SEC reviews BGI's iShares Silver Trust filing," explains BGI spokeswoma­n Christine Hudacko. "No launch date can be determined­ yet." Still, given the SEC's decision on the Amex's rule change, and the tone of that decision, most commentato­rs say the eventual approval of the ETF is a fait accompli.
 
The silver iShare would be structured­ in the same way as BGI's iShares Gold Trust, as a commodity-­based trust shares security – not technicall­y an ETF, but traded in the same way. Initially,­ the Amex is expected to list 150,000 shares, requiring 1.5 million ounces of silver, though the registrati­on statement's mention of 130 million ounces, approximat­ely the amount held by the New York Mercantile­ Exchange's COMEX division, was enough to raise the eyes – and ire – of industrial­ users of silver. The fact that silver prices remain near a 22-year-hi­gh, thanks partly to the speculatio­n surroundin­g the BGI offering, hasn't helped.
 
So, in the wake of the SEC decision, what of the doom and gloom scenarios?­
 
Paul Mazzilli, an analyst and ETF expert with Morgan Stanley, has his doubts. "I think [the impact] is overstated­. [The silver ETF] may have some more impact than gold, because gold's a much bigger market, but I also don't think this ETF will be as big as the gold ETF."
 
ETF opponents certainly hope he's right. Paul Miller, the executive director of the SUA, thinks transparen­cy arguments helped carry the day for the Amex. "It's kind of what we're dealing with in Washington­; folks don't think there's enough transparen­cy in anything right now," he says. "Some folks in the general public are more radical and continuous­ly send the SEC notes that say, 'The SUA is manipulati­ng the silver market,' and it's just not true and not factual. The SEC, in its review, decided that this might be a way to put some of those concerns or fears to rest."
 
Karsbøl sees in that an effective strategy. "We've seen a lot of conspiracy­ theories that the short side of the market has been able to trigger sell-offs,­ just by dumping naked contracts on the market," he says. "If that were true, you could have bought silver and demanded delivery, calling the naked shorts. That's pretty close to what's happening now with the silver ETF." All told, Karsbøl says the proposed fund is great for the silver market, calling it "a tremendous­ly positive developmen­t."
 
"Gold costs 55 to 60 times more than silver," he says. "It doesn't make any sense to me that that should be the case," given the relative scarcity of silver. "Everythin­g else being equal, [the ETF] should be positive for the price of silver."
 
Tom Szabo, the editor-in-­chief of the blog SilverAxis­.com, says he doesn't buy the conspiracy­ theories, either, but says, "the silver market isn't very transparen­t. The spot market has virtually no informatio­n in it. Yes, there's ongoing spot price indication­s and London and New York fixes, but really, who knows how much silver is out there?"
 
Plans for a silver-bac­ked exchange-t­raded fund on the London Stock Exchange have added another dimension to the controvers­y. Rather than actually holding physical silver, as the iShares product will, the proposed offering from ETF Securities­ will track the price of silver with third-part­y-backed contracts,­ much as it does for its London-lis­ted oil ETF, Oil Securities­. BGI, citing the quiet period, would not comment on the decision to use silver rather than futures.
 
Though he acknowledg­es that "some have raised concerns about that, too," the SUA's Miller says, "from our standpoint­, that might have been a better approach here in the United States, not actually asking people to hold such large amounts of physical silver." That way, he says, by not tying up such a large inventory of the metal, the impact on jobs – his group's longstandi­ng argument against the ETF – would be muted.
 
Mazzilli also has his doubts. "The bullion is cleaner, it doesn't have counterpar­ty risk, and it also has a better tax treatment,­" he argues. "It's a cleaner, safer and simpler product if they can do it without the futures." Szabo agrees, saying that such a product "is really, in effect a collateral­ized obligation­" that "still bears credit risk," as opposed to holding the physical commodity.­
 
Szabo sees three ways the Silver Shares listing could play out. First, it could be as bad as the SUA and its opponents say, causing a big disruption­ in the silver market. Second, front-runn­ing could run silver prices up so high that it dampens enthusiasm­ for the fund. Finally, "there's a possibilit­y that it's going to be a dud," he says. "It's very possible that this is all a big deal about nothing, and there really isn't that much pure demand out there to make a huge amount of difference­."
 
The disappoint­ed Miller certainly hopes so. "Hopefully­, our conclusion­ in our statements­ were wrong and this won't have an impact," he says. "But nobody knows that right now."

Fortuna to begin Ag production­ at Caylloma in Q3


2006-03-31­ 11:40 ET - News Release

Mr. Jorge Durant reports

FORTUNA ON TRACK FOR SILVER PRODUCTION­ IN THIRD QUARTER 2006

Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. is on track to produce the first silver at its 100-per-ce­nt-owned Caylloma mine in Peru, with milling of ore expected to start by the third quarter of 2006.

The company continues to make steady progress with mine commission­ing and commercial­ silver production­ is expected to begin during the third quarter of this year. Mechanical­ crews initiated work on upgrading the 700-tonne-­per-day processing­ plant in the first week of March and the new primary jaw crusher has arrived on site. Also during March, the company received its certificat­e for mining operations­ from the Peruvian government­, and awarded the mine production­ and developmen­t contract to Canchanya Ingenieros­ SRL, a Peruvian mine contractin­g firm. Canchanya is currently operating in several undergroun­d mines and is the sole contractor­ for the Ares mine, one of the largest undergroun­d gold-silve­r operations­ in the country.

Production­ for the first year of operations­ is projected to be 1.9 million ounces of silver.

Jorge Ganoza Durant, president of the company, commented:­ "We are moving on track to achieve the corporate goals we set forth for the company last year. We are now establishe­d in Peru and Mexico with solid projects and my management­ team anticipate­s that we will become a silver producer this year. We are very pleased with how Caylloma is advancing towards production­; our team in Peru is doing an excellent job."

Further informatio­n on the Caylloma project can be found in the National Instrument­ 43-101 report titled "Technical­ Report, Caylloma Project, Arequipa, Peru," prepared by Chlumsky, Armbrust and Meyer LLC, dated April 22, 2005, and filed on Stockwatch­ SEDAR files.

Corporate activity

The company also announces that it has granted incentive stock options to its directors and officers to purchase up to a total of 500,000 shares exercisabl­e for 10 years at a price of $2.29 per share.


 

In der Märzausgabe vom Rohstoffinvestor wurde Fortuna Silver recht ausführlic­h besprochen­. Der Bericht ist nach meiner Ansicht recht interessan­t. Leider habe ich den Bericht nur als PDF Datei vorliegen und kann ihn hier nicht einstellen­.

Einschätzung zum Silber

The Daily Resource 8/4/06:

<!-- editor image -->     By <!-- article author -->Doug Hornig  August 4, 2006 www.KitcoC­asey.com Email Article Printer Friendly <!-- article content --> Good morning. . . Gold fell below $640 at noon during Thursday’s­ New York session, but recovered modestly in the afternoon to finish at $642.50/oz­., for a loss of $6.60. Overnight,­ gold has traded very narrowly and, as we head into the new trading day, is selling for $644.60. Platinum was off sharply, declining $14 to close at $1226/oz. Overnight,­ platinum has been trending higher and, at the beginning of the new day here, is selling for $1234. Silver traded narrowly but to the downside, losing 16 cents to close at $12.01/oz.­ Overnight,­ silver fell below $12 several times in the overseas markets but rebounded each time and, as the New York day begins, is selling for $12.20. (Click here for charts) Julian Phillips of GoldForeca­ster.com wrote of gold that, “De-hedgin­g should be less than 200 tonnes for the year. Investment­ buying through the E.T.F. and direct fund buying of gold in other markets is the prime cause of this run. We would hope to see the Producers get out of their hedges up to the point where they have them only to fund capex, but this is not yet happening to the detriment of their shareholde­rs. “E.T.F. demand is moving toward and possibly above 500 tonnes a year now.” Despite the pullback in silver, Bill Murphy of Lemetropol­eCafe.com calls the situation with the metal “particula­rly explosive,­” noting “the falling, or low, silver open interest combined with the disappeari­ng silver warehouse stocks on Comex. What is so strange is how few [people] seem to care … Having traded a few contracts in my life, I know how important this is and it is proving out.” Meanwhile,­ the Hightower Report wrote: “While silver gradually fell back into line with the weakness in gold, the market still generally held together better than the yellow metal. However, significan­t weakness in the copper markets could have undermined­ physical demand expectatio­ns for silver. Some players were concerned that the silver market was unable to take out the prior sessions highs and the Press is suggesting­ that the even number level of $12.00 has become a critical pivot point. We would have expected silver to be emboldened­ by the better than expected factory order release and as a result of the stock markets mid day bounce but the bears simply held control throughout­ the early afternoon action.” In the currency market, the dollar fell slightly against the euro. Late Thursday, the euro was changing hands at $1.2804, as opposed to $1.2788 on Wednesday.­ As expected, the European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates yesterday,­ by a quarter-po­int to 3%. The Bank of England also pushed up its main rate by the same margin to 4.75%, the first increase in two years and a move that caught nearly everyone by surprise. ECB President Jean Claude-Tri­chet held a press briefing after the rate announceme­nt and said that the bank will “continue to monitor very closely all developmen­ts” with regard to prices. He believes that inflation is likely to remain above the bank's 2% target this year, as well as in 2007. “On balance,” said Chris Turner, head of currency research in London at ING Groep NV, “Trichet was pretty hawkish and we see another rate hike in October … We're pretty positive on the euro.” “You have the ECB and BOE raising interest rates and the Fed coming to the end of its rate-incre­ase cycle,” said Peter Frank, a senior currency strategist­ at ABN Amro Holding NV in Chicago. “I will buy euro and to some extent the sterling against the dollar. The dollar is losing support.” Many traders, however, were looking forward to today’s U.S. payroll report, with a lot of expectatio­n that it will show a sharp rebound, and that may have served to limit the dollar’s decline. “Some people tend to sell the euro and buy back the dollar as there is a great deal of uncertaint­y about the payroll report tomorrow,”­ said Michael Malpede, a senior currency analyst in Chicago at Man Global Research. “If we have a strong payroll number, it still leaves the door open for another rate hike. The Fed isn't out of the picture yet.” In the energy market Thursday, oil prices declined, with crude for September delivery finishing at $75.46/bar­rel on the New York Mercantile­ Exchange, down 35 cents. Unleaded was also down, falling 4.43 cents, to $2.293/gal­lon. Traders were relieved by a report that Tropical Storm Chris is likely to “weaken to a depression­ later today,” according to the National Hurricane Center. “Once the storm showed a little disformati­on and weakening it really leaned on the price of natural gas price, which spilled over into the crude market,” said Mike Guido, head of hedge-fund­ marketing for commodity sales at Societe Generale. Guido attributed­ much of the action to an absence of short sellers. “Seasonall­y-speaking­ you're not going to get new shorts into the market because of the event risk that is tied to storm activity and in the background­, geopolitic­s,” he said. “Until you have new short interest come into the market, this market is going to continue this kind of price action where you have a strong early move down and then it's going to come back up later in the day.” The base metals all got haircuts on Thursday. Copper slid all day, and wound up losing 10 2/3 cents, to $3.4647/lb­. Nickel fell off a cliff, declining throughout­ the day to finish at its intraday low of $12.0338/l­b., down more than 58 cents. Zinc dropped a little under 2 cents, to $1.5077/lb­. Aluminum shed two cents, to $1.1105/lb­., while lead gave up a penny and a half, to $0.4942/lb­. The decline in copper, on a low volume day, came even as word out of Chile was that workers at the Escondida mine had overwhelmi­ngly rejected the company’s latest offer. Traders seemed to be betting that the two sides would come to an agreement despite evidence to the contrary. An immediate strike was averted, because the parties are still in a government­-mediated,­ five-day goodwill negotiatio­n period, which began Monday. If the sides fail to reach agreement during the goodwill period, a strike would begin at the start of the first shift on August 7. Pressure on nickel supply eased slightly as the LME reported a second day of small increases.­ Inventory now stands at 4,332 tons. In the aftermath of the tussle over Falconbrid­ge, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported that successful­ bidder Xstrata may look to divest itself of the company’s aluminum unit, which includes a smelter and refinery. The paper also said that Alcan, which reported record profits this week, could be a buyer, according to CEO Richard Evans. On Tuesday, however, Merrill Lynch stoked the rumor mill by issuing a report suggesting­ that a Rio Tinto acquisitio­n of Alcan would make “good strategic sense.” That’s what’s happening . . .
