hi Leonard,
Could you explain why the lengthbof the Agq.v drillings are so short...
Thanks!
bbbho in Toronto

Hi bbbho,

The deposit at the Calicanto property consists of mulitple veins, running along the trend. As you can see, more than one vein is encountered, in the same drill hole. These veins, swell and shrink as they were formed, and result in intercepts, ranging fron 1/2 meter to over 9 meters. Short intercepts are quite normal for high grade vein deposits, as are long intercepts for, low grade oxide deposits. Over 40 oz silver equivalent, is obviously considered, very high grade.

If anyone wishes to add to this, please do.

Sent to me by email. I first met Malcolm in Mexico while touring Arians properties.

Arian Silver (TSXv:AGQ)…. Don’t Let This One Get Away on You…


The name Arian Silver should sound familiar to you. And well it should. Back in April I initiated coverage with a strong buy rating on this exciting silver exploration story in Mexico. Six weeks ago, in early August, I issued an update to reiterate my sentiments on Arian. Now I am issuing another update with a reminder to not let the current market turmoil scare you away. The fundamentals for Silver and Gold are as strong as ever. The world is losing faith in the US Dollar and perhaps even in the US itself. While the recent interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve was heralded by the markets, all this move did was to add more liquidity to the system which will further fan the flames of inflation and make the fundamentals even stronger for Silver and Gold. Investors seeking to guard their investments against the ravages of inflation simply must have exposure to the metals. True, one can buy a large cap mining stock, but serious investors know that there is a better strategy. That strategy is one of buying “up and coming” smaller cap exploration companies having strong management and that are well on their way to defining a resource in the ground. And therein is my fascination with Arian Silver.

On a recent business trip to London, UK, I had the good fortune to meet once again with Jim Williams – President and CEO of Arian Silver. I met Mr. Williams back in April for the first time while on a field trip to Zacatecas, Mexico. But on that trip, I had few opportunities to sit down with him and get to know him. London was a different story. Jim and I had a very pleasant meeting at a quaint English Pub on South Audley Street in the Mayfair District located near Hyde Park. As we enjoyed our Bulmer’s Irish Cider at this English Pub I learned a lot about Jim Williams. I can now tell you in no uncertain terms that if you had a silver exploration company and were looking for a highly educated, extraordinarily competent President with outstanding leadership skills to run this company –Jim Williams would be your man.

For those readers who have not been following my coverage of Arian Silver, let me now digress and provide you with an overview of Arian’s properties. For those readers who now follow the Arian story, I have also included a brief update on recent activities.


Tepal Property:

The Tepal Property is located in southwestern Mexico, in Michoacan State, near the town of Tepalcatepec. The nearest major city is Guadalajara, some 170 kms to the north. The Tepal Property consists of 6 concessions totaling some 14,000 Hectares. The Tepal Property has an intriguing history of exploration efforts dating back to 1972. Between 1972 and 1996, INCO, Teck and Minera Hecla all undertook various exploration programs on the Tepal property. What emerged from these efforts was a resource estimate of 78.82 million tonnes of mineralization grading 0.5 g/tonne Gold and 0.25% Copper equating to 432 million pounds of contained Copper and 1.23 million contained ounces of Gold. However, with Gold prices and Copper prices remaining low, these companies elected not to proceed further; furthermore, up until 1995 the maximum a foreign company could earn in a Mexican entity was 49%, unlike today’s 100%, and this would have made a huge difference to the bottom-line financials. However, their collective decisions are now Arian’s good fortune. Drilling done to date by Arian (>3000 meters, out of 4500 meters) confirms the historic gold grade numbers identified by INCO and others and also shows a slight increase in grade. Some of Arian’s holes were drilled to deeper depths than what previous operators had gone to and mineralization is evident at these deeper depths thus suggesting that there is more to Tepal than originally thought.

Calicanto Property:

The Calicanto Property overlooks the City of Zacatecas in Central Mexico. Zacatecas comprises about 200,000 citizens and was initially founded in the year 1548. The Calicanto Property consists of 5 concessions totaling 89 Hectares. The Calicanto Property has a primitive mining history dating all the way back to the year 1600. In 1934 Compania Fresnillo S.A. mined a small amount of ore and removed about 300,000 tonnes of material from the waste dumps. Processing at nearby Fresnillo produced up to 1 g/tonne Gold and up to 250g/tonne Silver. In 1948 full scale production commenced at a rate of 100-130 tonnes/day. Historical data shows grades of 2.3g/tonne Gold, 110 g/tonne Silver and 2% Lead; this includes exploitation from other vein systems on the Property, and not just the Calicanto Vein. No production records exist after 1956 when it is assumed production stopped. There are 4 distinct veins on the Calicanto Property, namely the Calicanto, San Buenaventura, Nevada and El Misie. All are classic epithermal type veins. In August 2005, Arian commenced driving a decline into the Property to access the Calicanto vein. Arian is also advancing a decline to access the San Buenaventura vein system. All material removed as part of these efforts is currently being stockpiled. Now that more than 3000 tonnes has been accumulated, Arian is finalizing negotiations to have exclusive use of a mill within the Zacatecas district. The processing results from this quantity of material will be extremely valuable in helping Arian Silver better define mining methods and processing methods to be used for future mining on the Calicanto Property. Hence it could be argued that Arian Silver is effectively trial mining and bulk sampling, and not many junior resource company’s, who are only 15 months old from a public company point of view, can match this.

Phase 1 (3000 meters) of a drill program has now been completed at Calicanto. Results show a continuation of epithermal veins along strike and below old mine workings. In addition some new vein systems have also been identified. Some of the more significant intercepts include 4.7 meters at 1054 g/t silver and 7.17 g/t gold (1398 Ag-equiv.), 6.3 meters at 154 g/t silver, 6.80 g/t gold (480 g/t Ag-equiv.) and 4.5 meters at 297 g/t silver, 8.54 g/t gold (707 g/t Ag-equiv.). A phase 2 program is currently being compiled which should provide enough data for the calculation of a 43-101 resource estimate at some point early in 2008.

San Jose Property:

In December 2006, Arian Silver acquired an exclusive option to earn a 100% ownership in the San Jose Property located some 55 kms southeast of Zacatecas. The Property includes the head frame and 500 tonne/day hoist system of the San Jose Mine which operated right up until 2001. Also included on the property is a decline haulage ramp extending 2kms underground to the East and 1km to the West. This area too has a long history of mining dating back to about 1600. More modern history shows that in 1963 Minera Frisco explored the San José Property and defined 400,000 tonnes of resource. In 1967, Minera Frisco sold the Property to Zimapan S.A. a subsidiary of Minera Peñoles. Zimapan operated the property from 1973 until 1991, extracting approximately 917,000 tons of material grading 228 g/t Silver, 0.22 g/t Au, 1.5% Lead, 2.37% Zinc, and 0.08% Cu. In 1992, Zimapan ceased operations at the San José Property due to a combination of high transportation costs in getting mined ore to the closest mill and low metals prices. In 1993, De Sarrollo Monarca ("Monarca"), acquired the Property, and operated the mine at 400 tonnes per day. In 2001, Monarca closed the mine as once again high transportation costs and low metals prices made the operation un-economic.

Arian has now added another 2313 hectares of land to its position at San Jose to bring the total land package to 6353 hectares. With this recent additional land acquisition, Arian has now extended the projected strike length of the San Jose Vein from 4.5 Km to approx. 12.5 Km, whilst at the same time acquiring land that could enlarge its stockwork silver mineralization and also skarn mineralization – not to be confused with the vein-type mineralization. Arian is 75% through a 7500 meter drill program at this time. Early results to date are very encouraging. Some significant findings from the lower-grade brecciated stockwork zone include 28 meters of 128 g/tonne Silver, 39.3 meters of 121 g/tonne Silver and 27 meters of 122.5 g/tonne Silver. Some bonanza type results include 0.8 meters of 1438 g/tonne Silver and 0.8 meters 1038 g/tonne Silver. Results from the San Jose vein itself include 3.5 meters at 435 g/t silver and 5.7 meters at 365 g/t silver. In addition, Arian is pleased to note the presence of some veins of higher grade Lead and Zinc. In particular, a vein of 1.1 meters grading 10% Zinc and a vein of 0,8 meters grading 15.6% Lead were found. Ultimately, the presence of Lead and Zinc will present a tremendous benefit to Arian; with these levels of combined metals Arian has a rock value of some US$160 per tonne. Arian remains on track to produce a preliminary 43-101 compliant resource estimate on San Jose by the end of the year. This resource estimate will be a significant milestone and will confirm to the markets that Arian is a story to be reckoned with – something that I have known ever since my initial trip to Zacatecas earlier this year.

Conclusion

Mexico is proving to be a global hot spot for mining and mineral exploration. Analysts, Fund Managers and serious investors are now waking up to this reality. Arian is well positioned in the historic mining district near Zacatecas and in the very attractive Tepal area. Don’t let the current market volatility scare you. Don’t be lulled into complacency by the soothing words of the folks at the Federal Reserve. Inflation is stronger than you think. The US Dollar is weakening. You can protect your investments by taking positions in “up and coming” resource companies with able management, excellent property prospects and the near term potential to identify a resource in the ground. For me, Arian Silver is one such company. The coming few months are going to be pivotal for Arian as it calculates some initial resource estimates on its projects. Adding to the excitement will be the feedback and findings from the metallurgical mill trials on material from its Calicanto property. The news flow from all of this will send out a clear message that Jim Williams and his team at Arian Silver mean serious business. I maintain my strong buy recommend on Arian.

My old write up on Arian Silver has been added to Arians media coverage page.

http://www.ariansilver.com/s/MediaCoverage.asp

but the stock does not move !!!
(moved today a bit ..)

Well I know we are due for a small move soon. I have the benefit of having been at Arians properties and sipping tequila with Jim. It would take a fair bit to shake my confidence at this time, unless the PM's took a major dump, along with lead. I just don't see it happening. I am too patient sometimes, though.

Interview just sent to me. Dated Octber 10.

MINERALSTOX INTERVIEW WITH JIM WILLIAMS, CEO OF ARIAN SILVER

<SPAN class=bodytext>Q: Jim, in the year that we have followed you and Arian Silver down in Mexico, we have seen a lot of drill results from different properties. The stock has had its ups and downs. What do you think the investors should be looking at NOW when they look at Arian?

A:The two big developments this year for investors is that drilling has shown our Tepal porphyry deposit will be much bigger than before, and that our San Jose project has near term production potential that we had not imagined.

When we acquired the Tepal project in 2006, it had a historic resource of some 79 million tonnes containing 1.2 million oz of gold and nearly half a billion pounds of copper. This was drilled in two areas down to 80 metres depth. We are now about 90% of the way through our first phase of drilling, to make this resource NI 43-101 compliant. In places we have drilled up to three times the depth of the previous operators and found gold and copper mineralisation down to 250m depth. In many places greater than the grades previously reported - so the gold and copper potential should be much greater than the previous historic resource. Our first resource estimate for this should be done by year-end.

We also found mineralisation at surface at Tepal, well beyond the two areas that make up the historic resource, and we are currently drilling there to increase the resource potential.

This is a great asset. I am surprised the markets have not rewarded us for it.

Q: Could you put Tepal into production as it is?

A: No, but it would be quite a simple open-pit mining operation. The topography is good; it would have a low stripping ratio. At the end of the day this is $30-35 per tonne rock, with a projected total operating cost of $15 per ton worst case, so this could generate a lot of cash flow. But a lot of work has to be done before that happens.

Q: Jim, you also mentioned the near-term production potential at San Jose – how did you discover this?

A:Let’s step back for one moment. When we acquired the San Jose project, the highlight at the time was the 4.5 km strike length of the San Jose vein itself west of the old headframe. The eastern part of this vein produced 18 million ounces of silver grading 9 ounces per ton. So the potential was obvious.

But recent exploration and some new found data have shown us two exciting near term production targets. First, we realized there were previously outlined reserve blocks on the property from surface down to approximately 65 metres.

These had never been mined before the mine closed down in 2001! There are three blocks already identified amounting to some 1.2 MT of wider but lower-grade material. We are now verifying of some of the historic drill holes. So far the results correlate well and we are very upbeat on this relatively new (for us) discovery. We’re looking at how to we might put this into production in the best way possible.

The second near term production option was literally staring us in the face. In the course of doing our regular methodical exploration in the main San Jose vein, we are finding not only silver but in places very high zinc and lead values. With the recent high prices of these base metals it gives us great potential to start early production right in the old workings. In places the insitu value of rock is $160/tonne, which could make for a very attractive operation!

Q: How does this near term production potential affect your stated plans to put together a big silver resource at San Jose?

A: This fits in perfectly with our long term plans. Our goal all along has been to produce silver from vein systems wide enough to support the concept of mechanised mining, so we need ideally a minimum 3m width of economic mineralisation. Now we believe we can do it sooner than planned, at a much lower cost than we ever thought.

I realize the market was expecting high and wide underground silver grades at San Jose, and we certainly have these in certain areas, but this near term production potential did shift our focus slightly.

Q: What’s the condition of the underground mine at San Jose?

A: Very good. The mine only operated for some 18 years between 1973 and 2001 mostly by a subsidiary of Penoles – currently Mexico’s largest silver miner. They did things right. The 3Km-long ramp is in excellent condition. The replication cost of this would be between $7.5 - 8 million and take some 18 months. So we have a huge head start in getting into production.

Q: So the new discoveries are more silver or base metals?

A: The new discoveries have both. Firstly, all silver operations have bi-products in the form of base metals – there is no such thing as a PURE silver play, with nothing else added. The most important thing to me is the underlying dollar value of rock, and along with our silver we have great zinc and lead grades. We cannot ignore this.

We have discovered lots of new silver at San Jose.. I already told you about one block of lower grade silver that had already been outlined by previous operators, right at surface. These were actual reserve blocks that would have been mined had silver prices not been so low. Most of this upper surface mineralisation is quite oxidised and hence quite easily broken.

But we have also discovered another mineralised silver zone only some 500m away, again at surface, from the main San Jose vein. In geology speak, it’s called a large brecciated stock work. This is an entirely new zone, separate from the main San Jose vein, and if our exploration continues to indicate what we think, then this large mass could be open-pit mined in due course. For any one not familiar with open-pit mining of low-grade silver, I would like to point them in the direction of Coeur d’Alene’s Rochester Mine in Nevada.

Q: Will we see a 43-101 resource report on San Jose or just go into production?

A: I’m a firm believer in doing the job systematically – even if finance is relatively easy to come by. So first of all lets demarcate our compliant resource base and add value in the ground, and then we can make the decisions regarding the next steps.

Q: When are we going to see drill results from a hole targeting the big, main San Jose vein in the original unexplored strike extension you previously spoke about?

A: We are now about 90% of the way through our Phase-1 drilling program at San Jose, which we recently extended from 5,000m to 7,500m. We have a lot of assays at the lab. About half are from San Jose, and half from Tepal.

So to answer your question – “hopefully very soon”. Unfortunately we cannot rush the labs; we adhere to a strict QC and QA program and all our samples are duplicated to be run in a separate lab for this purpose.

Q: Where do you see AGQ a year from now? And in18 months?

A: Within 12 months we should have some considerable compliant resources under our belts, especially with Tepal and San Jose. And my goal is to have production within 18 months; by the end of 2008 for example. With this mindset I really do think we can be one of the larger junior producers in Mexico.

Q: What form do you see your ongoing relationship with the Endeavour Group, known for their access to deal flow, people and capital? How can we expect Endeavour’s bench strength to still play a part going forward?

A: This is still important to us and I would like to think the highlight of this relationship is yet to come! However, irrespective of our relationship with Endeavour, we are a very well connected group with substantial links both in the UK and the North Americas’ where most of the people involved have track records of finding good projects, raising the initial financings and developing those projects; sometimes into mines!

Q: With the recent run in precious metal prices, acquisitions may become more difficult to find or increase the cost. Is the Company now positioned to ride a run in precious metals, or will acquisitions still need to play a part?

A: We have 3 key projects right now: San Jose, Tepal and Calicanto. But we have a host of others such as San Celso, which has huge upside and I personally like it very much. We could easily run with what we have; indeed San Jose and Tepal are each Company makers in my opinion.

The short answer is that we continue to be approached by individuals and companies with projects, but we are very particular and cautious. We already have great projects, and a strong pipeline of more grassroots assets.

Q: Jim, this is your last chance – what else do you think investors should know about your Company?

Continued...

Q: Jim, this is your last chance – what else do you think investors should know about your Company?

A: Well basically 4 things: (1) liquidity, (2) people, (3) projects and (4) country. I’ve spoken to our projects. Mexico is a safe place for both people and capital. Our stock trades well - AGQ is easy to buy, and easy to sell.

We have second-to-none people on our Board and likewise our management teams both in London and more importantly in Mexico. I have put a silver project into production in Mexico on time and within budget. Chairman Tony Williams is one of the most successful mining venture capitalists in the World, and right now is putting one of his mines into production.

We have Jim Crombie as a Director, who is CEO of TSX-V listed Palmerejo Gold and who has, subject to final SEC approval, been bought out in a deal worth more than $1 billion by Coeur d’Alene Mines for their Mexican properties.

And of course, last but not least, we have David Cohen as a director, who is President and CEO of Northern Orion Resources, who right now are involved with talks regarding a multi-billion $ merger. So, hey, we have a lot of talent on our team. In addition we have superb projects and all are located in one of the most mining-friendly countries in the World – what more could we ask for?

Gord Zelko, Publisher

Well after talking with keith from Vangaurd shareholder solutions (Arian's IR firm) I understand the new spin on Arian is to be that they are going after short term production, rather than trying to prove up 100 million ounces quickly. I know Vangaurd is calling everyone who will listen. This probably explains the up move in AGQ lately.

Arian Silver Corporation: San Jose Project-Progress Update
Tuesday October 23, 2:00 am ET





- Discovery of New Disseminated Silver Mineralisation





- Drilling Confirms Bulk Tonnage Potential of 'Block 450'
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Oct. 23, 2007) - Arian Silver Corporation ("Arian" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AGQ - News; AIM:AGQ)(PLUS:AGQ)(FRANKFURT:I3A - News) is pleased to present an exploration update on its San Jose Project in relation to the recent discovery of a zone of disseminated stockwork silver mineralisation and on 'Block 450', a section of the near-surface mineralisation of the San
Jose Vein.


--------------------------------------------------

I quess we need to get some more drills in, but it looks like there is the potential for an open pit mine here.

Right now they don't have very long intercepts, but some would be considered very high grade for open pit operations.

At this point quick calculations bring me to the conclusion, that the strip ratio is not very enticing, but it is acceptable.

sell this dog ? or..wait a little more ??

I'm hanging on. AGQ has an excellent financial backer and also good promotional team. When they have some thing very good to report, it will move big.

Report on Arian.

I think Endeavor Capital is gonna give this one another push soon. They like to win!

I had heard that Arian was going to go into production in 2008. I would like to see them put out estimated reserves. That should be the priority this fall.

Arian Silver Corporation: San Jose Drilling Results


LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Oct. 30, 2007) - Arian Silver
Corporation ("Arian" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:AGQ)(AIM:AGQ)(PLUS:AGQ)(FRANKFURT:I3A) is pleased to announce that
recent drilling has verified the location of the western strike extension of
the San Jose Vein System.

Highlights

- Confirmation of the Western Extension of the San Jose Vein System

- More Wide Zones of Disseminated Mineralisation Intersected

- More High-Grade Zones Intersected

- Mineralisation Remains Open in Multiple Directions

- Phase-1 Drilling Extended to 10,000 Metres

Solidad

Drill-holes located in an area of the San Jose Vein System known as "Solidad",
1.4 kilometres west of the San Jose shaft and head-frame, have intersected a
wide (up to 25m) vein system comprising silver and base-metal mineralisation.

A number of holes were drilled into the "Solidad" zone where previous
geological mapping and surface trenching identified a number of
quartz-calcite-sulphide-rich veins emplaced within wide quartz-calcite-rich
breccias. The drilling intersected the San Jose Vein, which in places has
spliced into two veins, the 'Foot-Wall' vein and the 'Hanging-Wall' vein, at
50, 100 and 150 metres (m) below surface. In addition, deeper drill-holes so
far indicate that the San Jose Vein widens from 3-5m at surface to 20+m at
depth. The Company considers these results very encouraging since in the
historical workings the wider intercepts of the San Jose Vein contained the
higher-grade material.

Santa Ana

Drill-hole results have also been received from the Company's drilling in the
"Santa Ana" area of the San Jose Vein. The Santa Ana area is located 800m west
of the San Jose shaft and head-frame, and the results confirm silver and
base-metal mineralisation continuing down-dip below the historic mine workings
of the old Santa Ana Mine.

The drilling has identified a silver and base-metal-rich zone (up to 42m wide)
that extends at least 200m laterally and 200m vertically from the Santa Ana
Mine. This zone is open to the west towards the Solidad zone, referred to
above and also to depth. The eastern-most drill-hole (Hole 003) has
intersected a lower-grade silver and base-metal rich portion of the San Jose
Vein, which is typically found in the deeper portions of a classic epithermal
vein system.

Selected recently received assay results from the Solidad and Santa Ana areas
are shown below: -

As a result of the positive and encouraging exploration results to-date and
the recently discovered multi-faceted types of mineralisation in the San Jose
Vein, Block 450 and brecciated stockwork target areas (see press release dated
23 October 2007), the Company has decided to increase the size of its Phase-1
drill program from 7,500m to 10,000m.

Arian's Chief Executive Officer, Jim Williams, commented, "Our exploration
program continues to discover new areas of silver and base-metal
mineralisation. As a result we have increased our drilling program to 10,000m,
out of which we have currently drilled some 7,000m. The Solidad area was
completely unexplored before we started our drilling program and as a result
of this program, the magnitude of the San Jose Vein System is now
significantly larger than previously envisaged.

The drilling in the Santa Ana area is also providing excellent results and
drill-hole SJ-07-002 intersected high-grade silver and base-metal
mineralisation within 4m of our main haulage ramp in the westerly direction.
We believe the Santa Ana area also presents an excellent opportunity to move
this Project towards production in the not too distant future".

All technical information for the San Jose Project is obtained and reported
under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) programme. The
core is logged and photographed by Arian staff and then split using a diamond
saw. Half the core is stored on-site in a secure core shed and the other half
is sampled, bagged and secured before transporting to Inspectorate's sample
preparation facility in Durango, Mexico. The entire half-core is crushed and
two kilograms is pulverized and homogenized. 150 gram pulp samples are then
air freighted to Inspectorate's analytical laboratory in Reno, Nevada for
analysis. Systematic assaying of duplicates is performed for precision and
accuracy; check assays are regularly conducted by Inspectorate. Each sample
has its own unique sample number. Inspectorate's laboratories in Durango,
Mexico and Reno, Nevada are ISO 17025 and ISO 9001:2000 accredited.

Approximately 5% of the analysed samples are re-sampled and sent to the ALS
Chemex preparation facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. The samples consist of
both coarse reject samples and 150 gram pulp samples. The coarse material is
crushed and pulverised, and all the pulp samples are air freighted to ALS
Chemex's analytical laboratories in Vancouver, British Columbia, for analysis.
Results from all duplicate analyses are compared to identify potential
analytical or sampling errors.

Inspectorate and ALS Chemex laboratories are independent of Arian.

The samples were analysed for 32 elements by ICP (inductively coupled plasma),
proceeded by a three acid digestion. High-grade samples (gold greater than 3
g/t and silver greater than 200g/t) were re-analysed by fire assay with a
gravimetric finish.

Additional information with respect to the San Jose Project is contained in a
technical report prepared by A.C.A. Howe International Limited, dated April
30, 2007, and entitled "Technical Report on the San Jose Project, Zacatecas,
Mexico". A copy of this report can be obtained from SEDAR at www.sedar.com

Arian Silver Corporation is a silver exploration company listed on London's
AIM and "PLUS", on Toronto's TSX Venture Exchange and on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange. Arian is active in Mexico, the world's largest silver producing
country. The Company's main projects are the Calicanto and San Jose projects
in Zacatecas State and the Tepal project in Michoacan State. Part of Arian's
forward-looking strategy lies in the envisaged use of large scale mechanized
mining techniques over wider mineralized structures, which reduces the overall
operating cost per ounce of silver, and to build up National Instrument 43-101
compliant resources.

Arian was founded by Jim Williams, Chief Executive Officer, and Tony Williams,
Chairman, who together have over 50 years experience in exploration, project
construction and mining worldwide.

Bull, please explain what are they saying - I do not see any freason to cheer about...

$30 dollar ore starting at surface is very economical if they have a lot...Looks like they do.

Gold and copper can also be heap leached at about $7 per tonne cost (depending on metallurgy) very low strip ratio here, so overall things look pretty good at Tepal.

Think 30,000 tonnes per day @ $20 per tonne profit...Over $200 million a year in profit.

I haven't kept-up with this one since I sold it at a prophet [sic] thanks to Jason's pump (sorry, "promotion"). My memory is that they wanted mechanized underground mining in veins with big equipment...surface mining heap-leach is different. Might want to check if their strategy has changed and why...

Two different properties San Jose-underground.

Tepal purchased after Jason write-up.

I like this stock for both technical and fundamental reasons. They also have a good IR department that keeps the PR's shooting out. Even during the worst of the tax loss season the pps has stayed stable. Also there are finalized resources reports and feasibility studies to look forward to.

Arian Silver Property Tour


Arian Silver management has been telling me they can compile an NI43-101 compliant resource of 150 million ounce silver equivalent at their 100% optioned San Jose mine near Zacatecas, Mexico – by early summer. If so, that would warrant a dramatic re-valuation of the company’s current $50 million market capitalization.[/quote]

Sounds like Arian is going to get some of your Loonies!

Possibly, yes. I need to see some real progress though.

I probably should have went on the tour, but I have seen everything there already.

Mostly, I would have got the sales pitch had I gone...and some good tequila, I suppose.
