Silver Standard Resources Inc.: Updated Resource Estimate for Diablillos Silver-Gold Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 18, 2009) - Silver Standard Resources Inc. (TSX:SSO)(NASDAQ:SSRI) reports an updated resource estimate for the wholly-owned Diablillos Project located in the Province of Salta in northern Argentina. The Project is 275 kilometers (171 miles) south of Silver Standard's Pirquitas Mine in the Province of Jujuy. The resource estimate follows recent diamond drilling completed by Silver Standard which was successful in converting a significant portion of the previously reported inferred resources into the indicated category.

The following block model resource estimate is for the Oculto Zone, one of 11 mineralized zones identified on the property. This resource estimate was completed by Dr. Gilles Arseneau, P. Geo., Chief Geologist, of Wardrop, A Tetra Tech Company in Vancouver, B.C. Dr. Arseneau is an 'independent qualified person' for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators and has verified the Diablillos data disclosed in this release.

The resource estimate was based on 54,954 assays from 301 holes drilled on the Oculto Zone. Mineral resources were estimated, using Gems Software version 6.2, into 10 x 10 x 5 m blocks within grade shells representing greater than 0.5 g/t gold and greater than 40 g/t silver, using ordinary kriging and 1.5 m composited drill data. Blocks outside of the grade shells were also estimated using ordinary kriging. Blocks within the greater than 0.5 g/t Au and greater than 40 g/t Ag grade shells were classified as Indicated and those outside of the grade shells as Inferred.

Silver Standard Is Evolving From A Pure Play Silver Company Into A Much Broader Precious Metals Story

By Rob Davies

A resource base of over 1,700 million ounces of silver has a gross in-situ valuation of US$25,000 million. That is what Silver Standard has to its name, and the market correspondingly values the company at US$1,400 million, or 82 cents an ounce. As a way of playing silver there can surely be few better or cheaper ways. But it gets better than that because the company is rapidly adding lots of gold to its resource base as well – gold from the Snowfield property in British Columbia. At the last count this property had four million ounces in indicated resource and another 14 million in the inferred category. In gross value that is another US$17,000 million. Combine the two resources and ownership of Silver Standard gives a claim to over US$42,000 million worth of precious metals up and down the Americas.

At this stage it is only fair to point out that only 195 million of those silver ounces are in the proven and probable categories, and that none of these ounces will be extracted and sold for some months yet.  Worse, the bulk of those silver ounces are in Argentina, a country that has had a rather capricious attitude to capitalism in recent years. Minesite put that observation to Robert Quartermain, president and chief executive officer. He was unfazed, and replied that the important level...

Silver Standard Resources Inc.: Breccia Ridge Underground Pre-Feasibility Study and Pitarrilla Project Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 24, 2009) - Silver Standard Resources Inc. (TSX:SSO)(NASDAQ:SSRI) is pleased to report the results of a pre-feasibility study for the underground component of the Breccia Ridge Zone at its wholly-owned Pitarrilla Project in Durango State, Mexico. Based on the pre-feasibility study, the underground component of Breccia Ridge now contains probable silver reserves of 91.7 million ounces. Scoping studies on underground bulk mining and open pit development for Breccia Ridge are continuing, and, if satisfactory, pre-feasibility studies will follow. Feasibility-level studies are also continuing on certain aspects of the project. The Breccia Ridge Zone, containing 63% of Pitarrilla's total silver resource of 643.6 million ounces of measured and indicated silver resources and 82.3 million ounces of inferred silver resources, is the main focus of current project activities and is one of five zones of mineralization identified to date on the property.

Breccia Ridge Underground

Iouri Iakovlev, Senior Mining Engineer of Wardrop, A Tetra Tech Company, and an "independent qualified person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, estimated diluted probable reserves of 91.7 million ounces of silver for Breccia Ridge using a silver price of US$11.00/oz, zinc price of US$0.70/lb, lead price of US$0.50/lb and a US$50.00/tonne net smelter returns cut-off.

Silver Standard Resources Inc.: Brucejack Drilling Cuts Bonanza Grades

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 15, 2009) - Silver Standard Resources Inc. (TSX:SSO)(NASDAQ:SSRI) is pleased to report that diamond drilling in the Brucejack Area of its wholly-owned Snowfield Project continues to intersect significant values of gold-silver mineralization. The property is located 65 kilometers north of the town of Stewart and 15 kilometers southeast of Barrick's high-grade gold-silver mine at Eskay Creek.

Galena Hill Zone

Drilling at the Galena Hill Zone, located five kilometers south of the Snowfield Zone and referenced in the news releases dated August 5 and August 20, 2009, continues to intersect gold mineralization with significant intervals encountering visible gold.

A new highlight from the Galena Hill Zone is hole SU-12 which intersected four bands of mineralization. The best intersection included:

- 1.5 meters with uncut grades of 16.95 kilograms of gold and 8.7 kilograms of silver per tonne (4.9 feet averaging 494.3 ounces of gold and 254 ounces of silver per ton).

- This intersection ocurred within a wider interval of 20.6 meters with cut grades of 5.33 grams of gold and 159 grams of silver per tonne (68 feet averaging 0.15 ounces of gold and 4.6 ounces of silver per ton). For the quoted average gold assays, any assay in excess of 31.1 grams of gold per tonne was cut to 31.1 grams of gold per tonne.

SU-12 is collared approximately 100 meters southwest of SU-05 which intersected 155 meters averaging 1.26 grams of gold per tonne (509 feet averaging 0.04 ounces of gold per ton), including 12 meters averaging 5.37 grams of gold per tonne (39 feet averaging 0.16 ounces of gold per ton).

Bridge Zone

The Bridge Zone, located 1,200 meters south of the Galena Hill Zone, is a new discovery made by Silver Standard. Highlights from SU-19, collared approximately 100 meters southwest of SU-10, include:

- 552 meters of 0.87 grams of gold per tonne (1,811 feet averaging 0.025 ounces of gold per ton), including 260 meters of 1.19 grams of gold per tonne (852 feet averaging 0.034 ounces of gold per ton).

Previously reported hole SU-10 intersected 483 meters of 0.70 grams of gold per tonne (1,585 feet averaging 0.02 ounces of gold per ton), including two higher grade intervals of 50 meters of 1.26 grams of gold per tonne (162 feet averaging 0.037 ounces of gold per ton) and 33 meters of 1.25 grams of gold per tonne (108 feet averaging 0.036 ounces of gold per ton).

SU-19 ended in mineralization and at least 10 holes are planned in its vicinity to begin defining the size of the new discovery. SU-11 was collared approximately 500 meters northwest of SU-10 and intersected three bands of mineralization summarized in the table below.

There are also over 900 historic diamond drill holes from both surface and underground drilling in the Brucejack area. Silver Standard anticipates being able to incorporate a portion of this data in future resource estimates.

A minimum of 8,000 meters of diamond drilling is planned to test targets in the Brucejack area, and three drills are currently at work on various targets.

Such forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from estimated results. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the company's ability to raise sufficient capital to fund development, changes in economic conditions or financial markets, changes in prices for the company's mineral products or increases in input costs, litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments in Mexico, technological and operational difficulties or inability to obtain permits encountered in connection with exploration and development activities, labour relations matters, and changing foreign exchange rates, all of which are described more fully in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cautionary note to U.S. investors: The terms "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource", and "inferred mineral resource" used in this news release are Canadian geological and mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. We advise U.S. investors that while such terms are recognized and permitted under Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in the measured and indicated categories will ever be converted into reserves. "Inferred mineral resources" in particular have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules estimates of inferred mineral resources may not generally form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of contained metal expressed in ounces is in compliance with NI 43-101, but does not meet the requirements of Industry Guide 7 of the SEC, which will only accept the disclosure of tonnage and grade estimates for non-reserve mineralization.

Hi,

ziemliches Gap heute - ob das ein nachhaltiger Ausbruch wird?

Meine Zweifel steigen um so länger ich den Chart anschaue ...

 gruß 

 

ich bin vor paar wochen zum 2 mal bei 12,70 eingestiegen,ich habe beim ersten mal 34% gewinn gemacht und mußte ein paar wochen warten um wieder einigermaßen günstig einzusteigen,habe dieses mal höhere Erwartungen die sich im Sog der Goldrally hoffentlich erfüllen.Gruß Kalle!  

und sie steht erst am Anfang ihres ungeheuren Potenzials.  

ging grade die pirquitas mine in argentinien in produktion. In den ersten monaten werden sich die Abbaukosten auf etwa 9US$ je feinunze  silber belaufen,in einigen jahren bei deutlich höherer ausbringung erwartet SSR dann nur noch 1 US$ an kosten und damit eine sehr provitable produktion. Immer höher klettert zu dem  die vermutete goldmenge beim Snowfield-projekt.Inzwischen sind es 30 Mio Unzen die hier nach einschlägigen berechnungsstandards erwartet werden.Je größer die Goldmenge,desto eher gelingt die abspaltung oder der verkauf dieser abgelegenen liegenschaft an einen Goldgiganten. Fazit: Unbedingt dabei bleiben und bei Schwäche aufstocken.  

http://www.rohstoff-welt.de/news/artikel.php?sid=16887  

wird Silver Standard in den nähsten 2-3 Jahren in Produktion bringen und das bei einem Explodierenden Silberpreis.Das verdeutlicht noch einmal welches unglaubliche Zukunftspotenzial in dieser Aktie steckt.  

http://www.rohstoff-welt.de/news/artikel.php?sid=17038  

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/...andard-TSX-SSO-1104197.htm  

für mich intressant energisch nachzulegen,ist zwar ärgerlich,ich hätte wie letztes mal schon wieder einige gute Gewinnmitnahmen realisieren können,aber dann kommt wen ich ehrlich bin die persöhnliche Gier die seien wir mal ehrlich in jedem von uns steckt.Ich hätte aber auch nie Gedacht das es wieder so weit runter geht. Gruß Kalle!  

im 12 er bereich auch für mich wieder interessant :)

Silver Standard Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2009 Results

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 4, 2010) - Silver Standard Resources Inc. (TSX:SSO)(NASDAQ:SSRI) provides the following updates on the Pirquitas Mine and principal development projects and reports on headline financial results from the company's fourth quarter of 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, the company adopted the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency and all figures are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

(This news release contains forward-looking information that is subject to the risks and assumptions set out in the company's Cautionary Statements on Forward-Looking Information located on the last page of this news release.)

Pirquitas Mine

Pirquitas produced 1.1 million ounces during the year. Since December 1, 2009, the date of achievement of commercial production, the mine produced to year-end 545,600 ounces of silver at a cash production cost of $8.99 per silver ounce(1). Total cash costs, including transportation, treatment, refining, export taxes and royalties, were $16.57 per silver ounce(1). During the month, the company sold 460,100 ounces of silver at a realized price of $17.49 per ounce(1) and, after deducting treatment and refining charges, recorded revenues of $5.4 million.

The plant has a crushing capacity of 6,000 tonnes per day. This feeds a pre-concentration plant that is designed to feed the mill at a rate of 3,200 tonnes per day. The mill's feasibility design capacity was exceeded in both November and December.

The mill is processing transitional ore and is anticipated to process sulphide ore at full capacity during the second quarter of 2010. The tin circuit is commissioned and will be operated when suitable material is available in Q2 2010. Production in 2010 is planned to be seven million ounces of silver at an average cash production cost of $9.00 per ounce of silver net of by-product credits.
