Boas,

Com a queda do dolar e consequente valorizaçao do ouro , adivinham-se boas noticias para os meses vindouros.

Espero eu que a correcçao nao passe disso , e que o bull viva mais uns anitos largos para que empresas como esta possam dar umas alegrias valentes ao pessoal, nao que nao pudesse valorizar em bear market mas seria concerteza menos acentuada.

Abraços

Silverado Placer gold recovery at Nolan already exceeds last year's production
Monday August 6, 6:00 am ET
SILVERADO - OTCBB: SLGLF / Frankfurt: SLGL / Berlin: SLGL


FAIRBANKS, AK and VANCOUVER, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Silverado announced today that 1,250 ounces of nugget gold (1/4" and larger) have been recovered to date since the start of sluicing operations in late June of this year.
ADVERTISEMENT


These nuggets, which range in size from 1/10 ounce to 12.4 ounces, were removed periodically from the top parts of the wash plant gold recovery systems. Still to be recovered from the sluice plant this summer is gold concentrate containing gold smaller than 1/4" in size.

Silverado is very pleased thus far with the results of the season. Total gold recoveries and related financial numbers will be released as available during the balance of the season.

Last season -- 2005-06 -- Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. recovered 939.07 ounces after sluicing 8,896 cubic yards of pay dirt. Of this amount, 750 ounces were jewelry-grade nuggets of 1/4" or larger, and the balance, or 189.07 ounces, was delivered for refining.

For this year, 2006-07 - Silverado is on track to substantially outperform last year's production.

This press release was prepared by Dr. Karsten Eden, Certified Professional Geologist, who is a qualified person as defined under the standards of Canadian National Instrument policy 43-101.

Silverado Gold Mines Ramps Up Its

Placer Gold Production and Now

Believes It has the Prolific ‘Mother

Lode’ Source Within its Reach

By Marc Davis, Managing Editor

June, 2007



Corporate Overview

Silverado Gold Mines Inc. (NASD OTCBB:SLGLF) (Frankfurt: SLGL) (Berlin: SLGL) is a

diversified natural resources company that is riding the crest of two major trends – one

involving a sustained bull market for gold prices and the other being the imperative to

develop innovative new forms of inexpensive ‘green energy.’

For more on Silverado Green Fuel Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, please refer to Part II

of this investment assessment.

All told, Silverado (www.silverado.com) has spent about a quarter of a century

developing prospectively world-class gold projects in mineral-rich Alaska – home to

some of North America’s most prolific gold mines and developmental stage gold

deposits.

Moreover, Silverado’s progress has thus far been quite lucrative. In fact, while hunting

for major ‘lode’ deposits, the Company has carved a profitable business niche for itself in

the placer gold mining business. And all of this placer gold is known to have originated

from nearby buried concentrations of gold that represent the ultimate prize or ‘mother

lode.’ Specifically, the placer gold has leached out of rich proximal gold vein/shear

structures into river drainage systems, where over the millennia it has become part of

ancient gravel beds.

While Silverado continues to use sophisticated geo-scientific sleuthing technology at its

Nolan Property to zero-in on the exact location of the buried lode treasure trove, the

Company is also building considerable intrinsic value into its share price by way of its

steady stream of gold revenues.

This gives Silverado a pronounced competitive advantage over legions of other gold

exploration juniors that have no gold production to sustain them. Instead, they have

nothing but grandiose dreams of winning the mineral exploration jackpot to justify their

much-hyped share prices. By comparison, Silverado is still very modestly priced.


To date, the Company’s tangible gold assets have generated over U.S. $20 million in

sales since the 1980’s – much of it in gold and silver bars and the rest in sizeable gold

nuggets which are highly sought after for Alaskan jewelry.

In essence, this placer gold mining business serves as a financial backstop for a ‘best of

both worlds’ business mode. One that provides meaningful and consistent cash-flow, as

well as a commitment to finding the lode source of all of its placer gold.

Notably, more than half of all of Silverado’s gold revenues were generated in 2006,

alone. This resulted from the recommencement of underground mining at the

Company’s wholly-owned Nolan Mine. This suggests that Silverado may be starting to

tap into remnants of very rich lode vein systems along a prolifically mineralized trend or

horizon. This represents the culmination of 16 years of systematic exploration of the

expansive Nolan Property for the source of the placer gold.

All told, an estimated 354,686 troy ounces of gold resources have so far been delineated

by mining and drilling on Silverado’s Alaskan properties, according to independent

geological reports. Canadian investors should note that this mineral resource estimate is

not National Instrument 43-101 compliant as Silverado does not operate its gold projects

in Canada. (In other words, this resource figure does not satisfy guidelines that

constitute a Canadian federal government recognized standard for a “mineral reserve.”)

The Emerging Nolan Gold Deposit/Mine: An Overview

Some of Silverado’s gold resources have to date been outlined at the developmental

stage Nolan Gold Mine. Located 280 road miles north of Fairbanks in the state’s Arctic

Circle region, it is the site of an extremely cost-efficient and profitable surface mining

operation for gold-bearing gravel. In the winter, underground mining of frozen gravels

also takes place, allowing for year-round revenue generation.

In the summer months when the gravel has thawed, snow melt water is available for

gold recovery by sluicing. Environmentally conscious investors will be happy to learn that

the sluicing process uses only gravity and water within a closed circuit, ensuring that

there is zero discharge to the environment. Also, lands disturbed by the Company’s

mining activities are fully reclaimed.

Most of the gold found at the Nolan Mine is in nugget form. This offers a distinct

advantage over conventional mining methods that typically involve crushing and grinding

large volumes of rock to extract gold particles. Instead, Silverado’s nuggets can be

easily and inexpensively extracted from the gravels and sold for a hefty premium to their

melt-down value (averaging about 33% above bullion’s spot price).

For instance, one nugget recovered at Nolan weighed 41.35 ounces and sold for U.S.

$50,000 – a 212% premium above its melt-down value. Another weighing 13.78 troy

ounces was taken from the floor of the Nolan Mine’s Mary’s East Tunnel after a

controlled blast as recently as February of this year.

Tapping into a Rich Vein of Opportunity: 2006 Nolan Exploration Highlights

Silverado believes that the increasing frequency of sizeable gold nuggets being found at

the Nolan Property suggests that the Company is zeroing-in on their lode source. This is


where gold in water flows through fissures or the spaces between cracks in rocks, where

it precipitates out. In turn, this forms ‘ore-zones’, or rich quartz gold veins, such as the

ones that Silverado has encountered during last season’s drilling and trenching

programs.

During the fall period of Silverado’s 2006 exploration program, Silverado also carried out

a total of 920 feet of backhoe trenching to investigate gold bearing antimony-quartz vein

systems. Ones that are part of the Solomon Shear, a five mile long gold bearing shear

zone (which is a geologically favourable structure for the emplacement of significant gold

deposits).

Such developments constitute a major exploration breakthrough for Silverado. This

allowed the Company to announce that it was beginning to outline the parameters of

what it describes as a “significant gold/antimony deposit.” A discovery that Silverado

CEO Garry Anselmo says may be a “potentially huge source of gold.” One that will be

aggressively explored in 2007.

That said, the discovery of high-grade gold zones is now a function of the methodical

development of the sizeable Solomon Shear Trend, which may prove to host many rich

gold zones, each with multi-million ounce potential.

An airborne geophysical survey published by the State of Alaska is also being used in

conjunction with on-going ground geological, geophysical, and geochemical surveys to

pin-point the exact location of such enriched gold zones

Meanwhile, of the three mineralized zones identified to date by trenching, the ‘main

zone’ was revealed to host 16 gold veins across a zone of alteration 192 feet wide. A

total of 71 combined chip and channel rock samples were collected during the trenching

program and submitted to ALS Chemex in Fairbanks for analysis.

Out of these 71 samples, 32 show values higher than 0.01 ounces of gold per ton (opt)

and ranged from 0.01 opt to 0.83 opt. These results offer clear confirmation that highgrade

lode gold mineralized quartz veins exist in the Solomon Shear Zone, according to

Silverado’s geological team.

Drilling at Nolan Reveals a High-Grade Antimony Discovery

Another notable coup for Silverado in 2006 was the discovery at the Nolan Deposit of

rich antimony values, running from 1% to 46% in rock samples. To put this in dollar

terms, rock containing 46% antimony would be worth about U.S. $2,300 per ton (at the

current antimony price of $2.56/lb). By comparison, the same ton of rock would have to

contain roughly 3.5 ounces of gold per ton (at $656/ounce) to be of the same monetary

value.

Preliminary metallurgical tests on Nolan’s antimony samples showed combined lead and

arsenic present in amounts less than 0.1%, which constitutes some of the purest

antimony in existence, according to Silverado. This is very important since antimony

contaminated with over 0.5% combined lead and arsenic has to be shipped overseas to

be processed.


Antimony Prices Are Poised to Spike Higher

Antimony is a silvery-white metal with a very low melting point and is used in North

America primarily in chemicals. It is most commonly used to impregnate plastics,

textiles, rubber and other materials as a flame retardant. Antimony is also mixed with

other metals to increase their hardness and strength, such as batteries and the lead in

bullets, and it is considered a military strategic metal. It is also used to seal the fire

sprinklers which when heated melt and allow the water to flow.

As an aside, China produces 82% of the world’s antimony, Russia 8%, South Africa 3%,

Tajikistan 2% and Bolivia 2% (for a total of 97%). In November 2006, China indicated

that it would cut its export quotas of antimony and tin by 30%, which will likely create a

supply squeeze.

In turn, antimony prices are almost certain to surge higher, which is nothing but good

news for Silverado. This is particularly the case since North America accounts for only a

fraction of global production, while it accounts for most of the world’s industrial usage.

Other Key Developments

In 2005, the Company began underground mining on the Swede Channel portion of the

Nolan Mine, involving the implementation of extensive infrastructure and mining

equipment and other support facilities. This gold-rich zone yielded 939 ounces of gold

last year, 785 of that being high premium nugget gold.

However, that figure only represents a portion of the gold that has already been outlined

in the Swede Channel. In fact, only about 30% of the Swede ore zone was removed in

2005/06. The balance of the ore, along with a newly discovered extension to the Swede

Channel, was mined out in the winter of 2006/07. The resultant 18,000 cubic yards now

await gold extraction, which will begin later this month.

Widespread Regional Gold Potential Including Silverado’s Hammond Property

The Company has also optioned property that covers the adjoining Hammond River

placer deposits. The Hammond Property adjoins the Nolan project to the northeast. It

contains the Slisco Bench, a prime placer prospect and one of Silverado’s future

exploration targets.

Silverado therefore plans to conduct drilling to delineate additional gold resources, while

also gaining geo-technical and engineering data for potential mining of this ancient

riverbed.

The Hammond River is historically and currently a rich gold producer in the district.

Exploration to date, including 103 drill holes, reveals that the Slisco Bench is an

attractive underground prospect which may prove to be a significant gold producer in the

future. Notably, the Company drilled 33 holes on this bench in 2006 with 15 of them

hitting significant gold values. These values ranged from 0.01 to 0.5 ounces of gold per

bank cubic yard of gravel.

Other Key Assets

In addition to the Nolan Gold Deposit, the Company also owns the Ester Dome Gold

Project, as well as the Eagle Creek Project, both of which are located close to Fairbanks,


Alaska. Significantly, they are also part of the same gold belt where Kinross is operating

its huge Fort Knox Gold Mine. Likewise, Kinross’ True North Gold Deposit is also in

close proximity to both of these geologically very prospective projects.

Historically, the Eagle Creek Property was Alaska’s second largest antimony producer.

In the late 1980’s, Silverado built a 100-ton-per-day gravity plant and processed the old

mine dumps, successfully selling all the antimony produced. Although Silverado

originally studied this property for its antimony potential, the constant discovery of gold

soon changed the property status from antimony to gold/antimony.

In addition to the high-grade gold bearing quartz veins found on Silverado’s large Eagle

Creek property, the Company also made a significant new gold discovery at the project

area in 2006. This new discovery area shows gold dissemination throughout intrusive

rocks and will be better investigated at a future date.

At the Ester Dome Property, Silverado has sporadically worked the area since 1978 to

present. This includes the development of lode gold deposits on the Grant Mine portion

of the project area. All told, this has in the past yielded some U.S. $10 million in highgrade

gold bullion bars.

An extensive exploration program in the mid 1990’s at the St. Paul Shear Zone on Ester

Dome resulted in the discovery of a potentially large lode gold ore body. Since then, only

a small but representative part of the property has been drilled to very limited depths on

gold mineralized zones which are “open” (continuous) to a vertical extent at depth and

along a lateral plane (strike length).

An extensive exploration program in the mid 1990’s at the St. Paul Shear Zone on Ester

Dome resulted in the discovery of a potentially large lode gold ore body. Since then, only

a small but representative part of the property has been drilled to very limited depths on

gold mineralized zones which are “open” (continuous) to a vertical extent at depth and

along a lateral plane (strike length).

This is also the case with the O’Dea and Ethyl-Elms mineralized zones on this highly

attractive Ester Dome Property where a recorded four million ounces of placer gold have

been taken from around the base of this small mountain.

The Company therefore believes that it has only just ‘scratched the surface’ of what

remains a potentially very rich gold property with plenty of ‘blue sky’ potential. However,

Silverado has strategically decided to focus the bulk of its near-term exploration activities

at the Nolan Property.

Moreover, an outdated 300-ton-per-day gold processing facility is the legacy of a highly

productive lode mining era at the Easter Dome Property. This mill complex is worth at

least U.S. $6 million in 2007 dollars and is being relocated to Mississippi to provide

valuable processing infrastructure for the Company’s fledgling Green Fuel business.


Investment Summary

Shareholders of Silverado Gold Mines are in an enviable position. They have

considerable exposure to a rising tide market for gold prices, as well as for antimony.

Not only does this come in the form of the ‘blue sky’ potential for finding a prolifically rich

‘mother lode’ style gold deposit at the Nolan Property; but it also can be measured in

more tangible terms by way of the Company’s small-scale but very lucrative placer gold

mining operation.

Then there’s an additional dimension to the Company by way of Silverado’s radically

non-linear diversification into the 21st century alternative energy business. This involves

its wholly owned subsidiary, Silverado Green Fuel Inc.

The Company’s ‘green’ alternative fuel source heralds a major breakthrough in

inexpensively solving North America’s addiction to dwindling foreign oil reserves. And it

could substantially help mitigate carbon dioxide emissions, nitrous oxides, sulfur

dioxides and particulate matter throughout the industrialized world, as well. With a much

sought-after business model for the wide-scale commercialization of this clean fuel

initiative, Silverado certainly has a tiger by the tale.

SmallCapMedia therefore believes that a convergence of powerful value drivers is now

setting the stage for a very bright and dynamic future for Silverado. One that promises to

reward patient investors with considerable ‘home run’ potential.

Hence, SmallCapMedia believes that the share price of this enterprising, up-and-coming

Company will continue to establish a sustained upwards trend during the balance of

2007. And the advent of plenty of ‘blue sky’ potential at its gold projects and its green

energy venture should provide a powerful springboard for Silverado’s share price in

2008 – a time when SmallCapMedia expects to see the Company’s stock trading at many multiples of its current price.

Boas,

Eu estou dentro desde os 0.079 e nao faço conta de vender a posiçao base . tenho sim intensoes de reforçar , mas queria ver uma correcçao nos mercados para entrar a bons valores. Sinceramente nao acredito que o dolár ganhe muito valor, talvez até aos 1.3550 ou no max nos 1.3480. Acho sim que se esse movimento se der deve ser visto como uma oportunidade de compra para se estar longo no Eur e Ouro.

Antevejo valores na ordem dos 1.40 no eur e nos 725 no ouro ainda este ano.

Para quem tem em carteira titulos em dolares , uma boa maneira de se proteger de mais desvalorizaçoes do dolar é estar longo no eur . Ou em titulos que beneficiem de forma directa dessa provavel desvalorizaçao.

Abraços.

[drivingsouth]

All a board, outra vez?
Depois de ter descido 24% dos máximos recentes e com os ultimos dias de quedas, hoje a silverado reajiu com 8%.
Penso que foi umbom dia para entrar, mas talvez ainda se vá a tempo. Depende claro do ouro, que por sua vez está dependente da evolução do EUR/USD.

Não tenho actualmente liquidez suficiente para entrar nesta posição que considero de risco.

Stops mto apertados, pois a descida pode continuar, se o USD continuar a ganhar ao EUR.

Se alguem acreditar numa recuperação do USD nos próximos dias, deve-se manter longe (ou numa possição curta?).

Drivingsouth

[drivingsouth]

Os ultimos 2 dias viram 2 quedas brutais, +-9% / dia.
Os sinais mostraram a eminência disso acontecer, especialmente o RSI a 80.

Não sai ontem, e fiquei espectante com o inicio da sessão, mas a quebra dos mercados americanos não ajudou e levou a SLGLF a afundar mais.

Sai nos 0.14, garantindo um ganho de quase 30%.

Vou ficar a ver até onde cai, penso ser uma boa oportunidade para entrar novamente dentro de alguns dias. O RSI já está nos 50, por isso a re-entrada pode ser rápida.

Factores que tbm considero nesta escolha
-----------------------------------------
EUR/USD e gold, ambos em senários desfavoráveis para re-entrada.

Lição a tirar desde meu trade
--------------------------------
- Não ter estratégia de médio-prazo em posições de risco, ie, stops curtos
- Rever estratégia de saida. Verifico alguma dificuldade em definir o melhor momento de saida em conjunto com a estratégia de deixar correr os lucros.

[Semitela]

Fica uma actualizaçao.

[drivingsouth]

Mais uma vez, e esta lógica é subjectiva, vi a SLGLF reagir hoje à subida da fase inicial da sessão nos mercados americanos.

O crescimento tem sido sustentado no ultimo mês, mas concordo com a opinião que estará esticada, pelo menos no curto-prazo. Rebound esperado aos 13.8 (-6.5%).

A minha estratégia passa agora por ficar de olho nos mercados americanos. Encontram-se perto dos máximos antes do "precalço asiatico". Se conseguirem passar nos próximos dias, penso que se podera reflectir um pouco mais no titulo.


Objectivo optimista: 15.5 / 16
Estratégia: Sair mal cheire a esturro ( isto é, se euro/dollar explodir, sem reacção correspondente do OURO->SLGLF e mercados americanos nao superarem os máximos referidos).


Abraço, bons negócios e boa páscoa.

Depende do prazo a que investires:
se investes a médio prazo eu esperaria por um retracement a 0,12 (aprox) ... tens o RSI nos 80, peode haver tentatações de mais valies.


Por outro lado o ouro acompanha o petroleo (que esta perto de maximos neste momento...)

...

[drivingsouth]

Boas, estou marginalmente dentro desde 2 de março, depois de ter saido de outras posições devido a stop-loss na fase que todos conhecemos. Ontem subiu 9,24% e atingiu o meu objectivo (0,13). Nao houve muito volume que justificasse a subida, mas penso que os próximos 2 ou 3 dias, a continuar o movimento, podem trazer-nos proximo dos 0,14. Por isso continuo dentro.

Quanto ao comportamento tenho observado que não tem acopanhado necessariamente o ouro, e reagiu à evolução dos indices norte-americanos. No entanto esta observação é muito limitada pelo acompanhamento do ultimo mês e nao deve ser generilizada. O mes de abril , a evolução (?) do ouro penso estarem do lado da SLGLF para subir, mas no meu caso estou a contar com o EUR/USD, pois estou muito exposto ao dollar, e se ele continuar a descer vou ter que reduzir algo.

Se houver recuperação do USD em relacao ao EUR, ai o lucro será duplo, mas por outro lado se tal acontecer o ouro pode sair fragilizado pela quebra do EUR.

A ver...
Bom fds
