Gold investment advantages and Starcore gold production Mexico? Gold is a precious metal and we all know that. As we have mentioned earlier, gold holds a special place in any Indian household and is considered a wealth of the family, for example, the gold jewels are passed on from one generation to the other as a legacy and a symbol of family wealth. Have you ever tried to invest in real estate or tried to make any financial investment? If yes, then you must know that buying gold is much easier than real estate or anything else. It is safe for the people who are trying to start doing investments as very less risk is involved with the gold purchase.
Much of the supply of gold in the market since the 1990s has come from sales of gold bullion from the vaults of global central banks. This selling by global central banks slowed greatly in 2008. At the same time, production of new gold from mines had been declining since 2000. According to BullionVault.com, annual gold-mining output fell from 2,573 metric tons in 2000 to 2,444 metric tons in 2007 (however, according to Goldsheetlinks.com, gold saw a rebound in production with output hitting nearly 2,700 metric tons in 2011.) It can take from five to 10 years to bring a new mine into production. As a general rule, reduction in the supply of gold increases gold prices.
Starcore International Mining and El Creston Property development news: The Red Hill West Zone is located immediately adjacent to the western boundary of the Red Hill Zone. The zone refers to a 500 metre wide by 500 metre long zone of quartz vein stockwork, hosted by Creston Granite, in which appreciable, >100 ppm, values of molybdenum occur. The host rock is typically oxidized and variably sericitized. Chip sample results include 3 metres averaging 0.083% Mo and a 12 metre composite averaging 0.043% molybdenum. Copper values are negligible. The zone has not been drilled. See more details on gold mining company.
Since 2006, Golden Oasis (later ACM) has conducted an intensive program of geologic mapping, geophysical surveys, compilation and drilling. This work has increased the knowledge of the mineralized system, identified a drill defined resource, and helped define at least five viable targets for further exploration. ACM had anticipated continuing exploration of the Courtney target. To date ACM’s work has identified the favorable stratigraphy and potential feeder faults sufficiently that deeper drilling of Pipeline style targets is recommended. A single 1,500 feet long angle core hole is recommended in order to test favorable host rocks adjacent to one of the more favorable north-northwest feeder faults.
The flagship property of Starcore International Mines is the San Martin gold and silver mine. The mine has been in operation since 1993 at 350tpd and currently operates at 850tpd. The mine was acquired by Starcore in February of 2008 from Goldcorp who had acquired the asset through the takeover of Wheaton River. The mine is an underground epithermal deposit with gold quartz based limestone and has an average gold grade of 2.31 grams and 18 grams of silver ( NI 43-101 2014 Dave Gunning, Joe Campbell). The historical production of the mine is over half a million ounces and the mine sits on 100% owned claim package of 12,992 hectares, which offers the upside of exploration and the possibility of discovering the source of the current mineralization.
