Eric Pratt asked:

Soltera Mining Corp. (OTCBB:SLTA) has been busy acquiring properties during the first quarter of 2008. Unstable markets have been unable to dampen the resolve with which management goes about building shareholder value.

Three weeks ago, Soltera announced it had obtained two new Mexican gold properties through the acquisition of Aztek Mineral, S.A. de CV. One week after that, the vending in of the Eureka Copper-Gold property and joint venture with TNR Gold Corp. (TSX.V:TNR) was announced.

That brings to 4 the number of gold projects under development by Soltera, summarized as follows:

El Torno (Argentina, gold, mining rights 7,863 hectares) is located in the Andean Cordillera near the international border with Bolivia. The property contains a very large gold-bearing quartz vein that extends intermittently for at least 14 km long north-south. The vein is sub-vertical and the gold is concentrated in a 2 meter-thick breccia zone along its western flank.

Historically, El Torno was worked by the Incas and the Spanish over a long period and has more than 1,000 m of underground galleries. There is still a small-scale operation extracting gold from elluvial deposits on the east side of the vein. In 1997, Puma Minerals carried out 2,100 m of drilling on a 1 km length; and in 1999 Penoles Minerals (operators of the world’s richest silver mine and Mexico’s richest and largest gold mines) undertook surface sampling, geological mapping and an IP geophysical survey in the same area. The combined (non NI-43-101 compliant) results of this work showed:

a) El Torno is within a “gold province” that extends several hundred kilometers north-south through Argentina and Bolivia;

b) The strongly mineralized breccia zone on the west side of the vein carries up to 37 gpt gold in the tested area, and has potential for several million ounces along the length of the vein;

c) Samples of stockwork zones some distance from the main vein gave up 23 gpt and in one case 112 gpt gold;

d) There are several IP geophysical anomalies that could indicate mineralization, but have not yet been drilled.

Soltera holds almost all the 14 km length and commenced their exploration in late 2007 with a geochemical stream sediment survey combined with structural mapping designed to target specific parts of the vein and the surrounding area for more detailed investigation.

Soltera will now define drill targets using more detailed geochemical and geophysical surveys. Drilling is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2008 and, given success, this will lead immediately to a full feasibility study to commence before year’s end.

Real de Cananea, Mexico

The “Real de Cananea” (Mexico, gold, mining claims 1,030 hectares) is located in Sonora State 26 km from the Cananea copper mine owned by Penoles. It contains a gold-bearing fault zone up to 270 m wide and more than 400m long within Cretaceous volcanic rocks that are intensely altered and carry gold.

There is a small old mine in the center of the property that was probably first worked by the Mayas and certainly by the Spaniards, with several shafts reaching 100 m below surface. The hard wallrock was mined with enormous effort and this, together with the fact that water had to be transported 8 km, indicates the importance of the mineralisation. Gold is widespread on the property, with altered rocks showing up to 65 gpt.

Soltera’s target is a large-scale open-pit and the area is broad enough to accommodate well in excess of 1 million ounces. Geochemical, geological and geophysical surveys will be used to define drill targets and drilling is scheduled for the third quarter of 2008.

Eureka, Argentina

(Argentina, copper-gold, around 10,000 hectares) is located in northern Argentina near the Bolivian border and only 3 km from the El Torno project. The property contains ‘Red Bed’ type strata-bound copper mineralization within sedimentary sandstones, clays and conglomerates. The surface exposures are weathered and contain erratically distributed gold. Alluvial gold has been worked in the area since prior to the time of the Spanish arrival and there is an old mine with over 5 km of underground workings that exploited copper and gold on a small scale until 1987.

The deposit is similar in style to major copper deposits in the Bolivian part of the Tertiary Belt. A geological estimate in the late 1990’s (historic resources estimate which is not NI-43-101 compliant) was 50 to 60 million tons grading 1% copper. Only 70 meters of the 450 m deep formation has been explored to date which leaves extensive upside potential.

TNR Gold Corp. (“TNR”), a Vancouver based mining company listed on the TSX with extensive experience in Argentina, has entered into an option agreement with the option vendor to acquire a 75% interest in the property by spending a total of US$3,000,000 in exploration and option payments before April 20, 2010.

TNR will undertake detailed geological mapping, trenching, geochemical and geophysical surveys, sampling the historic underground workings and drilling. Soltera is not required to incur any expenditure on the project at the present time.

Casita Colorada, the Company’s other project in Mexico, is a large mineralized shear zone worked since the end of the 1800’s for gold. The mineralized zone was at least 400 m long and 150 m wide and there is potential for a substantial gold deposit, but the project is being held in reserve so that the company can concentrate on El Torno and Real de Cananea.

Be sure to keep a close eye on SLTA over the next couple months. Geochemical assay results are due any day now, and there’s plenty of news to be generated by exploration activity on all the properties.

Patricia Zelkovsky asked:

The decision to purchase home exercise equipment can be a daunting one. There are so many factors to consider.

What kind of exercise equipment to buy? Where will you buy your equipment from? Will you have enough space for it? What fitness goals will you try to accomplish with it? The list of concerns can be quite long. Cost, however, is probably the most important consideration for many – especially if you are on a budget.

If you are on a tight budget and would like to purchase exercise equipment, there are still many options available to you to purchase the exercise equipment that’s suitable for you and your needs without sacrificing the quality of the equipment you buy.

One option in purchasing exercise equipment when you are on a budget is to buy used equipment. Often, people are a little skeptical about the idea of purchasing anything used – and rightly so! However, there are a few precautions that you can take before making a final decision about your purchase.

Additionally, there are numerous advantages to purchasing used exercise equipment that you may not have thought about. The foremost reason for many people to look into buying used equipment is that the cost will be drastically lower than if you were to buy exercise equipment that is brand new.

Used exercise equipment can be priced dramatically lower than new equipment, which may provide you with an excellent opportunity to buy something with many more features than you would normally be able to afford.

Moreover, purchasing used exercise equipment may also allow you to buy a better quality piece of equipment such as the more advanced equipment meant for fitness clubs and spas. Often, you should be able to check your local newspapers and notice boards for deals like these. If you are interested in equipment like this, you can also check with your local gym or fitness club owners to see if they know of anyone selling used exercise equipment.

Second Hand Shops

You may also want to check out second hand shops which often sell used equipment at bargain prices. Shopping for exercise equipment from a second hand store is also a great place to look around to find out the going prices of equipment that you may be interested in buying.

Classified Ads

The classified ads section of your local newspaper is also another place to check for used exercise equipment at bargain prices. Often, you will be able to find ads from individuals who, for one reason or another, are selling their equipment. This could be because they are moving to another state, or that the equipment no longer suits their needs. Nonetheless, be sure to ask the person selling the equipment what their reasons are for the sale. You need to also ask if there are any problems with the equipment before you purchase it. Buying Refurbished Exercise Equipment

Another option for purchasing exercise equipment when you’re on a budget is buying refurbished equipment. Refurbished is a term used to refer to products that are no longer considered “brand new” – possibly due to cosmetic damage which may have occurred on a showroom floor, or merchandise that may have been returned by a customer for any number of reasons.

While merchandise returned by a customer may be due to damage to the item, it could also be due to a customer changing his mind about the product. Nonetheless, refurbished equipment goes through extensive inspection and repair and is then repackaged for sale to the consumer at a significantly lower price.

Buying refurbished exercise equipment can offer excellent savings to the consumer. However, if you have any concerns about your purchase, find out about the refund policy for the equipment that you are considering purchasing and whether there is any kind of warranty for the equipment before making a final decision.

While the cost of buying exercise equipment for your home can be an important consideration when you are on budget, try not to make it the only factor, nor the most important one. If you make price the most important factor, you may end up with equipment that you are not happy with. You will want to buy equipment that is not only within your budget but is good quality equipment that suits your needs as well.

nd gold may be best commodities prospects in 2009

Editor:   From: mineweb   Click?53   Date: 2009-01-04 11:42:57

It is a hazardous business trying to predict positive investment sectors in the current financial climate, but some commodities more than others do look as though they offer potential.

As most commentators will be aware, after a disastrous 2008 for commodities, and even more so for many commodities stocks, prediction is a hazardous business.  While many were only too well aware at the beginning of 2008 of the vulnerabilities in the global economy, few stuck their necks out to forewarn of the scale, or the speed, of the subsequent meltdown in virtually all stocks, among which commodities were one of the worst affected sectors.

Now there seems to be the opinion amongst many commentators that many of those investors who ventured into commodities and commodities stocks at or around their peaks, and got their fingers severely burnt, will likely give the sector a wide berth this year, as will funds who may have ventured into the sector in the past.  This could severely restrict the potential of good profits being made even should the sector economics improve over the next few months.

This may be a very shortsighted view though.  If specific commodities or stocks are seen as having strong potential then investors will invest and prices will rise.  Maybe there is less money around to speculate though so the kind of huge increases seen in the pre-crash commodities sector will likely not materailse again in the immediate future.

For those prepared to take the plunge back into the sector there are going to be some areas which hold out the prospect of better upside than others, and with a very limited downside potential, which should appeal to the more cautious investor.

So where do you look for this kind of potential.  In truth things fell back so far in the latter half of last year, and so rapidly, that one has to consider that the downside in virtually any commodity is somewhat limited for the near to medium term, but some stand out as offering perhaps better prospects than most.

In the forefront is, probably, oil where the huge price crash from $147 a barrel down to, at one stage, $32 a barrel almost certainly was way overdone.  With the major oil producers having the ability to manipulate the price through production controls, and the avowed purpose so to do which is already beginning to have an effect.  The impact of cuts – or production increases – takes time to sink through and affect the markets and pricing and we are only just beginning to see the glimmers of an oil price recovery now.  It would not be unreasonable to look for a doubling of the oil price within the next few months.

Indeed a doubling of the price puts us pretty much in line with Barclays Capital which is forecasting $76 a barrel for average U.S. crude in 2009.  Barclays is perhaps one of the more bullish on oil, though, among the major banks’ analytical teams.

Gold is another likely beneficiary from continuing financial and political turmoil, but don’t necessarily expect a sharp rise.  Indeed gold was one of the few sectors which showed a profit overall in 2008, but gold stocks may still have a little catching up to do so there is potential here.  Overall one would look to gold perhaps to regain the $1,000 an ounce level during the year – and it could well then stay there which could again substantially outperform any general stock market recovery, if indeed there is one.

Silver will likely rise on the back of gold, even though fundamentals may not be as strong depending on who’s figures one takes.  Its volatility in relation to gold means that there could be the prospect of a better performance than gold in percentage terms, but that’s not really something to bank on.

What of the rest?  Of the external commentators who deal with the commodities sector, Peter Grandich, who publishes online opinion (www.grandich.com) is one of the more circumspect commentators with a pretty good track record over the past year (apart from on junior mining companies which he never expected to be decimated in the way they have been).  He also feels that oil and gold are the most promising commodities in the current environment and on some of the others he makes the following comments, with which we would mostly concur:

“Platinum appears to have seen its lows and while the upside may be limited in 2009, so appears the downside.

Base metals – I’ve been bearish on them for about two years. As we begin 2009, there isn’t anything to change that view other than further declines which could bring us to the point where accumulating them for 2010 and beyond could be worthy.

I do think uranium has bottomed and can work its way back to triple digits in the next 24-36 months.”

Perhaps base metals may do better than Grandich suggests, but the sector certainly remains weak but to an extent the huge falls in stock prices, which in many cases exceeded those in the commodities themselves, could leave scope for investment gains this year.

prospecting supplies

andrew.regan.2006@googlemail.com asked:

The Gold Rush started on January 24, 1848, when James. W. Marshall – working for Sacramento pioneer John Sutter, discovered shiny pieces of metal at Sutter’s Mill, near Coloma in California. After taking them to Sutter, the two men tested the metal and found it to be gold. Far from being euphoric at the find, Sutter was dismayed as he envisaged his dreams of an agricultural empire going up in smoke once prospectors rushed to the area. Because of that fear Sutter tried to keep news of the find under wraps, but all to no avail as rumours soon spread.

By March 1848, news of the find had reached San Francisco where newspaperman and merchant Samuel Brannan, after being shrewd enough to set up a store to sell gold prospecting supplies, strode through the streets of San Francisco, holding up a piece of gold and shouting: “Gold! Gold! Gold from the American River!

By August 1848 the news had reached New York and on December 5th was confirmed to Congress by President James Polk sparking an invasion of Sacramento and the surrounding area by waves of immigrants, who would later be referred to as the “forty-niners”.

Confirming his fears Sutter was ruined; his workers deserted him seeking gold fortunes of their own, and immigrants squatted on his land helping themselves to his cattle and crops. However, by the time the 49ers arrived the easily accessible gold had long been scooped up by the original prospectors of 1848. As waves of new immigrants flooded the area around Sacramento it effectively became a squalid tented city. With no hotel in Sacramento to speak of, or any other places of shelter for that matter, the mass of new arrivals literally slept in the streets, until they got a job, or left for the prospecting fields.

It was a lawless place in California at the time of the gold rush. The goldfields were declared public land, with no property rights, no taxes and no fees. Land was ‘claimed’ by prospectors, who could keep the claim as long as they worked on it. Once work stopped or the site was abandoned then the land could be reclaimed. This loose definition led to disputes about ‘claim-jumpers’, which were often settled in a violent manner.

Most of the estimated 300,000 would-be prospectors that came to California after 1849 found little gold, but did help establish Sacramento as a major town, confirmed by it becoming the terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. In only 20 years the settlement had burgeoned into a bustling hub for California. And, while his father’s dreams of an agricultural empire were dashed by the Gold Rush, John Sutter Jr, together with Sam Brannan became the City of Sacramento’s founding fathers.

gold mining equipment

Jon Shanahan asked:

When Teryl Resources Corporation (TSXV: TRC, Pink Sheets: TRYLF) became interested in the Gold Hill Prospect near Bisbee, AZ, they were following a pretty strong lead – Historic Gold Hill, at a 5491-foot elevation, looks out for miles over the Warren mining district, a famously ore-rich region of the Southwest. Phelps Dodge Corporation’s Lavender Pit mine, only 4 miles to the west of the project, is one of the most productive copper mines in history, producing over 75 million tons of copper ore from 1954-70, and in excess of $1B in copper, gold, and silver.

Preliminary geophysical and geological testing on Teryl’s properties in the region has been promising, and the company has recently signed a contract to begin drilling.

Teryl Resources turned an eye to the Gold Hill prospect in the summer of last year, and a number of indicators immediately urged closer inspection. A report by Frederic Rothermel, PhD, outlined a pattern of mineralization that moved from copper-rich/gold-poorer at the centre of the system to gold richer/copper poorer at the fringes – this pattern is consistent with features of the Carlin Trend in Nevada, which contains over 100 million ounces of gold in proven and probable reserves. This zoning pattern at Gold Hill is unique to the Warren mining district. Geophysical parallels to Lavender Pit are numerous, and further geological testing revealed significant gold values and a copper presence of up to 3% in surface assays.

John Robertson, President of Teryl Resources since 1982 states: “The Gold Hill project is an area which may have the potential to be developed into a large lode-type copper deposit. Our geologist feels that the anomaly is similar to that of the Copper Queen deposit (Lavender Pit).” With regard to possible quantities on the property, according to Robertson, “The sky’s the limit.”

The geophysical parallels to nearby producers are strong and compelling, but there are indicators that this is an unusually rich deposit area for the region. “One of the interesting parts of the property,” says Robertson, “is that not only does it have very similar geophysical data (to the Copper Queen), but when the previous work was done on these targets from the Lavender Pit property and the Phelps Dodge properties, they didn’t get any surface assays – they drilled it based on geophysical data. With our particular property we actually got some pretty high-grade values on the surface, which is very unusual for that area.”

This indicates that the deposit could be even richer than the neighboring targets: “It’s a better target, when you have not only the geophysical targets, but the geochemical targets as well.”

Developing claims in an historic mining district has obvious infrastructural advantages: “(Gold Hill) is very close to previous producing mines, so there is the infrastructure there.”

The property at the Gold Hill prospect currently comprises 248 acres, and the company is actively acquiring an additional 640 acres as drilling begins.

“The time to really capitalize on a stock is before the drilling commences,” says Robertson, “Once Teryl starts drilling, then the anticipation of good results will increase the value of the stock. And if the results turn out to be positive, you could see the stock increase several-fold. The key time for investors to buy shares of a resource company is before the drilling program.”

Alaska

Teryl Resources is also a main property holder in the Fairbanks Mining Division in Alaska. The company holds interest in a number of properties in the region – the Gil, West Ridge, Fish Creek, and the Stepovich Properties – all of which are near or adjacent to Kinross Gold’s Fort Knox mine, the most prodigious gold-producing mine in Alaska, and the True North deposit, also owned by Kinross Gold.

Teryl has spent 1.6 million on exploration on the Gil property, and has defined a resource of 400,000 ounces of gold (10 million tons X 0.04 ounces per ton). The main zone that contains the resource reaches a thickness of 80 ft., and has been traced along a 2,500 ft. length.

The West Ridge property is 100% owned by Teryl, and anomalies of elevated gold in the soil show a presence of antimony and arsenic that is very similar to Kinross’ neighboring True North Deposit (which has a defined reserve of 616,000 ounces of gold at 0.046 ounces per ton gold). Thus far, Teryl has spent $350,000 on exploration of the property.

At the Fish Creek property – 50% owned by Teryl and adjacent to the north to the Gil property – an auger drill program has identified elevated gold presence that suggests that the Gil resource extends into the Fish Creek property.

“We also have some drill targets that we’re planning on drilling in that area,” comments John Roberston. Once deposits are defined, the ore will be readily processed at Kinross’ nearby mill.

Other Holdings

Teryl Resources also has joint venture silver properties, and ongoing revenue from oil and gas projects in Texas and Kentucky.

When opportunities knock at our doors, we should grab. Rather waiting for one, we should go in search of opportunities. For that, to win in this competent world, we should equip our knowledge with state affairs and be up to date with the happenings.

Johnny Chandler asked:

It took me over 32 years to find one of the coolest hobbies I have ever done! Gold panning can be one of the neatest things you can do! The first time I went panning was about 3 months ago. Me and my dad decided to go to Dahlonega, Ga for our first prospecting experience. It took about 3 hours to get there from Alabama and we were shocked!

Atlanta has spread all the way into Dahlonega and there were houses on every block. We drove around for a few minutes and finally found their empty lake. It was a great idea; people have probably never been to some areas in many years! The levels were super low and we instantly felt the importance of water.

We parked at the doc and walked down the lake side and found a really nice outcropping of Quart. We pecked around for awhile hoping to find a Gold band. We ended up walked about a mile down the lake and turned around and decided to leave. We drove east of Dahlonega and found a really nice flowing stream.

As soon as I got in the stream I could see that there were many different kinds of rock and minerals in the water. I sunk the pan in and pulled it up and let the water wash the top sand off. That is when I saw this very pretty yellow on the bottom of the pan. I screamed “I found gold!” My dad come over and he laughed and said that is fools gold. It was everywhere and if you tried to break it would crumble apart. We didn’t find any Gold but we did have a fun day and got to see a very awesome river for a short time!

If you didn’t know about gold here is a little info to get you started.

First, is a very heavy yellow metal. It has a specific gravity of 19.3 which means a quart of gold would weigh 19.3 times as much as a quart of water. As a comparison, lead has a specific gravity of about 11 so gold is almost twice as heavy as lead.

• Malleable and Ductile. It can be hammered so thin that 250,000 sheets would be one inch high! One ounce can be drawn into a wire thirty five miles long.

• Gold is never found pure in nature. It is usually alloyed with copper, silver and/or platinum.

• Gold is so heavy it will act differently than the other material. So if you pan correctly it will stay in the bottom of your Pan!

• Gold has a shiny structure and looks about the same in and out of the light.

• Not sure you if you found gold? Take a hammer and if it breaks, you’re out of luck. If it is Gold It will bend and not break!

• Not recommended for beginners -get some Nitric acid and drop it in there. If it doesn’t react then you may have Gold! Nitric acid is dangerous if it gets on you or you breathe the fumes it can hurt you! Research how to use it!

Where to find gold

1. A Stream passes through many miles of different minerals.

2. The density is ten times that of common sand! Therefore it naturally falls to the lower place in a stream.

3. A new supply can be found annually. Spring showers always wash new Gold down creek.

4. Being on the river can be a way to spend day.

5. It can be hard to get on properties these days, stick to public bridges. We do have the right of way in the streams!

6. The placer gold sometimes may lead a trail to the mother lode. If you find it you may never have to work again!

Which Streams contain gold?

There are 4 characteristics that you need to find gold!

1. The Stream can not be damned and flow freely.

2. You need to have rich mineral content in the area.

3. The creek needs enough elevation to churn in spring floods.

4. Stream path and rock formations facilitate the deposition of the dense materials (gold, lead, iron, mercury etc.)

Gold is found as the free metal and in tellurides. It is widely distributed and almost always associated with pyrite or quartz. Gold veins can be found in alluvial deposits. If you find a vein of quart peck around on it and be sure and look very good! People have found Quart rocks with gold all through it.

I have read that if you find black sand that is a great place to look for Gold! Another place to look is around a big rock or by an old log! That is where you may find a nice nugget that has been hiding for years!

Go find you a pan and plan a great get-away and go Panning Today!
