    • Is This the Death of Gold & Silver Stocks? Part II [view article]
      Marc, I do like your comment.
      Is there a moral question as to where you should invest?
      Is it all about making money?
      We have the current moral example of the Kinross attempted take-over of Aurelian; the biggest gold find in the last twenty year: (see agoracom.com ARU) where the shareholder are likely to end up with $5 + worthless warrants instead of $20+ per share due to the greed of the ARU management who have sold their retail shareholders down the river.
      Gold is about to take off, do I invest in this market or do I try and support miners producing a more worthwhile product.
      Shorting, leverage, margin accounts; do you know who is using your shares for what purpose?; naked shorts etc. have brought us to the fine mess that we are in today.       Aug 29 04:21 PM
    • Junior Gold Producers May Get Boost from M&A Activity [view article]
      ' One factor that could provide a boost is increased M&A activity. Mr. Curran noted that the Aurelian (AUREF.PK)-Kinross (KGC) and Gold Eagle (GEAFF.PK)-Goldcorp (GG) deals give him more confidence that more tie-ups lie ahead, particularly if gold prices rise later in the year as RBC forecasts.'

      Not in the case of the poor Aurelian Resource Inc. retail shareholders, they thought that the were going to have a serious pay day; sitting on the biggest gold find in the last twenty years; but their management sold them down the river so that they will be lucky to see $5 + worthless warrants instead of $20+.
      At least they have the guts not to take it lying down and have formed a 'revolt' operation to fight, come what may! Follow the story at agoracom.com ARU.
      This kind of 'bad publicity' is just what this segment of the market does not need, rotten apples are not needed in the hard working miners barrel.       Aug 24 04:28 PM

      A goodly profit for some maybe but pity the poor Aurelian Resource Inc. retail shareholders, they thought that the were going to have a serious pay day; sitting on the biggest gold find in the last twenty years; but their management sold them down the river so that they will be lucky to see $5 + worthless warrants instead of $20+.

    • Neil MacDonald: What Will Jumpstart the Junior Miners? [view article]
      Who in their right mind would invest in the junior miners when we have such goings on with Aurelian Resources being taken over by Kinross at currently about $4.50 backed by worthless warrants! The shares are worth at least $20 and the area, including the best gold find in the last twenty years, has hardly begun to be explored. Just follow what the small retailers are saying at agoracom.com (ARU), some of these small investors are long term owners of Aurelian and they are having difficulty coming to terms with the dastardly and shameless actions of their own management.

    • Kinross Q2: Challenges, But a Good Reception [view article]
      Seeing the present furore on Agoracom. com website concerning the low ball offer made to Aurelian shareholders, I would be very surprised if it goes ahead/ Aug 14 08:11 AM
    • Venezuela Gold Miners: 'Misappraised' [view article]
      I follow Rusoro, has'nt the Russian boss done well buying out Hecla for $20M, mind you I do not own any shares yet though I believe Peter Hambro has a large stake.
      Production is expected at 100,000oz gold this year and they must have an eye to the future with 300,000m of drilling information.
      Rusoro kept 100% of it's properties, only the Hecla property was split 50/50.
      My advice, limited investment.       Aug 13 10:46 AM
    • Gold: The Commodity Bull Market Isn't Over [view article]
      I do like the junior miners which are now extraordinarily cheap, one would have thought that investments in gold miners would have tracked the price of gold closer, especially as many of the now producing mines have their expensive infrastructures in place.
      I certainly would be careful in this area after noting the Kinross/Aurelian 'friendly' bid where the Aurelian (TSX:ARU) retailers; many holding shares for some years; stand to gain about a quarter of the true value and to add insult to injury worthless warrants redeemable in five years and this is the biggest gold find in the last decade!

    • Vista Gold: Ready for the Middle Tier [view article]
      Viable, I like open pit, costs should be less and gold is going $1000+ this year.
      I am concerned by the current take over of Aurelian Resources by Kinross where the offer is currently worth around $4.50; including worthless warrants; for shares that I value at a minimum $20.
      I hope that this is not the future for Vista Gold or other mines.       Aug 08 08:52 AM

    • Time for Gold Miners To Consolidate? [view article]
      Pity the poor share retailers at Aurelian Resources Ltd who thought that they had it in the ground but in this case the lemming management; though sitting on the biggest gold find in the last twenty years; sold out at a price which left the retailers in the lurch with negligible returns on their investments, a high share dilution to suite Kinross and to add insult to injury, warrants cashable in five years which may or may not be in the money.

    • Gold Majors Go Shopping: Who's Next? [view article]
      I think so too, though the case of Kinross/Aurelian must be born in mind when the management of Aurelian Resources Ltd; sitting on the biggest gold find in the last twenty years; sold out at a price which left small shareholders in the lurch, showing negligible returns on their investments, a high share dilution to suite Kinross and to add insult to injury, warrants cashable in five years which may or may not be in the money.

    • Will There Be a Bidding War for Aurelian Resources? [view article]
      This all looks very strange to me. Perhaps I am thick but I do not understand what the shareholders of Aurelian are getting, no cash just shares in Kinross, tied into warrants cashable in five years?
      Aurelian has $45 million in the bank and good recent new drilling results to disclose, so enough cash till end 2009. There also appears to be a 10% dilution of the shares to suit Kinross.
      Ok, I know that the government is yet to confirm the new mining laws but this is far to cheap for the greatest undeveloped gold mine in the World, why has Aurelian management rolled over at the first bid, what has been going on?
