Arian Silver Share Discussion Threads

[p@] 05/11/2016 12:55

Jim Williams, Arian's Chief Executive Officer, is a minority shareholder of TNM
and is therefore precluded from voting on any matter relating to any potential
transaction with TNM, including the execution of the MOU.

from RNS a few months back

The Company is engaged in preliminary discussions with a view to acquiring advanced stage exploration projects. One such asset is located in the Southern part of the USA and has been extensively drilled in the past; it has a non-compliant mineral resource reported to have been in excess of 100 million ounces of silver, and it is expected that the historical data held would allow a new drill programme to rapidly delineate a compliant resource with a view to near-term production.

100 million ounces!!!!!

ok up to speed now with what happened..at least Arian are debt free now so fresh start.

Arian Silver Corp is a precious metals miner focused on Mexico.....
Arian Silver Corp (LON:AGQ) has it all to play for in 2016 as it starts the journey to rebuild itself in the precious metals space after losing its flagship Mexico mine project.

The firm is now debt free and has cash in the bank as it considers options for its remaining assets and carries out due diligence on an exciting option deal, also in Mexico, which includes a former mine, and which could lead to small scale, low cost production.

It all comes as the price of gold firms, while silver has been on a tear since the beginning of the year, adding 23% since January. The fundamentals of the metal look good, not least as the gold-to silver ratio hit 83 last month - the highest level since the meltdown of 2008.

The way to losing San Jose....

After a long and arduous road in the first place to get its flagship San Jose silver project up and running and after many processing plant issues, the wheels started to come off after a deal to extend a loan with US group Quintana, with whom Arian already had a financing deal, was terminated in October last year.

To cut a long story short, Arian settled all debts with Quintana by handing over San Jose silver mine, after the latter exercised foreclosure right.

These liabilities included US$17.8mln debt and US$15.2mln in a metal arrangement, which Arian was released from, and Quintana paid US$750,00O to Arian to make the unwinding process smoother.

Talking to Proactive, Jim Williams, chief executive, has put the San Jose loss down to metals prices and said it had needed US$22 an ounce silver to work, which just wasn't possible. "I wasn't happy at the time (to hand over the project) but I now realise it could have been far worse than the way it turned out," he said.

Silver is now at around US$17 per ounce.

So what assets are left...?

Arian has retained its key Calicanto project along with 1,600 hectares of mining concessions.

Calicanto lies a 15 minute drive from Zacatecas city and consists of seven contiguous concessions over 75 hectares, with excellent road access and sources of electricity. The site consists also of the San Celso and Los Campos concessions.

There are five distinct geological veins, which exhibit the characteristics of a classic epithermal silver system.

Elsewhere and significantly, in February this year, Arian signed a an MoU with private company TNM over its mining portfolio, which includes the former Noche Buena mine and associated tailings, giving Arian 90 days' due diligence. These project are gold with silver and base metals (lead and zinc) as bi-products and no fees are payable by Arian.

The firm has just raised £700,000 in a placing to further advance exploration and to help it advance the TNM option.

The projects have a good postcode, Noche Buena is partly alongside Toronto-listed producer Goldcorp's Penasquito site, which is projected to produce up to 580,000 ounces of the yellow metal in 2016.

The Noche Buena tailings already have a NI 43-101 compliant resource of one million tonnes containing 3 g/t gold, 55 g/t silver, and 0.8% zinc and Williams has suggested this could lead to a simple , low cost small leaching operation. Mining stopped in 1993 due to low metals prices and technology advancements now mean exploiting such tailings better is possible, he added.

The TNM deal, suggested Williams, sets the foundation in place for further news flow from Arian this year, as a deal on only one of the private firm's projects would be a significant advancement for the firm.

magnus9 ,no i dont know if arian has been picked but no doubt it will if it hasnt already.I 've only just stumbled across this share so dont know anything about the quintana thing but thanks will look into it.

[magnus9] 04/11/2016 23:13

temmujin

I've heard of the Roulston newsletter but is RESOC conclusively a Roulston vehicle? Do you know if Arian has been picked in a recent newsletter?
If it really is a Roulston pick it would suggest that the Arian management (Los Dos Bozos) are effectively running an exploration arm for Quintana. On an even more conspiratorial note, can't help thinking the loss of the San Jose mine to Quintana might not have been an accident.

[temmujin] 04/11/2016 23:07

get ready for the herd to arrive here...especially when they know i'm in it

[magnus9] 04/11/2016 22:49

scyther

I do hold a very few shares in Arian having been mauled in the Quintana episode.

[temmujin] 04/11/2016 21:22

MAGNUS9..it is..thats what prompted me to buy in

dont be despondent spawny,just take a little punt at the bottom and you'll win it all back and more...

if you look at the first rns holding today you'll see the track record of that investing outfit is absolutely stunning...check it out

[spawny100] 04/11/2016 21:14

Timing is right. As you can see from my history here mine was appalling with this one. Well my selling was anyway.

[temmujin] 04/11/2016 21:11

its a question of timing...silver entering a bull run phase so its time to start accumalating this stock considering the market cap is around £1m and only 185m shares in circulation

[scyther] 04/11/2016 20:47

Are you a holder here Magnus9

[magnus9] 04/11/2016 16:29

I wonder if Resource Early Stage Opportunities Company (RESOC)is a Lawrence Roulston concern. If so, the implications are mind boggling as he's the current President of Quintana.





Arian in its present sorry state certainly fits the bill to be a Roulston pick:

[temmujin] 04/11/2016 15:15

just bought in! tip off by ex hoodless mate

[11_percent] 02/11/2016 22:52

HG,

It is an AIM scamm, that's all.

Sonny Jim walks away, a made man.

Experience is the most persons thing a man can have in his brain, because he paid soo much to get it.

Learn, you thick git.

[highly geared] 02/11/2016 22:40

No assets as such, they gave away the 140 million silver asset just as silver bottomed and turned. Still, Jim Williams made several million selling shares near the top of the last bull run. Then proceeded to ruin the company and lose shareholders 99% of their investment over the following 4 years.

[magnus9] 27/10/2016 11:55

No need, the bulbs have already blown.

[simmondsbird] 27/10/2016 08:13

Last one out to please remember to turn off the lights.
