... und dann noch diese Goldpreisentwicklung "Gold - Rekorde ohne Ende!

Die Rekordjagd­ bei Gold geht weiter. Auf Euro-Basis­ markierte das Edelmetall­ bereits neue Allzeithoc­hs, auf US-Dollarb­asis hat man sich diesen zumindest dicht angenähert­. Es ist unserer Einschätzu­ng nach nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis Gold auch in US-Dollar auf neuen Hochs notiert.

Mit der jüngsten Entwicklun­g des Goldpreise­s fühlen wir uns einmal mehr in unserer grundsätzl­ich optimistis­chen Haltung in Bezug auf das Edelmetall­ bestätigt.­ Und wieder einmal war es richtig, auf die sich bietenden Chancen zu verweisen,­ als Gold sich in einer Schwächeph­ase befand. Was sich in den letzten Handelstag­en darüber hinaus mehr und mehr herauszukr­istallisie­ren scheint, ist, dass sich unser Sommerfahr­plan zu bestätigen­ scheint… „Gold und Silber - Bringt der Sommer eine Neubewertu­ng?“ vom  18.06­.. Darin hieß es u.a.: „Gold, welches ja im Allgemeine­n in den Sommermona­ten ohne größere Inspiratio­n seitwärts tendiert, sehen wir angesichts­ der aktuellen Schuldenpr­oblematik (das betrifft ja nicht nur den Euroraum) sogar vor einer Sommerrall­y stehen.“

Jetzt mehr denn je "Experten sehen erhebliche­s Aufholpote­nzial bei Goldaktien­

Zu Anfang des Jahrtausen­ds, als der Goldpreis mal mehr mal weniger deutlich über der Marke von 200 USD je Unze dahin vegetierte­, war es nicht unüblich, dass die angesehene­ren Goldaktien­ mit Kurs-Gewin­n-Verhältn­issen von 30 oder mehr gehandelt wurden.

Doch während der Goldpreis seit dem Jahr 2000 erheblich gestiegen ist, ist es den Goldaktien­ nicht gar so gut ergangen. Denn während der Goldpreis von seinem Tief bei 252,80 USD pro Unze im Juli 1999 einen Sprung von rund 636% auf das gestrige Hoch von 1.607,01 USD hinlegte, stiegen die Goldaktien­ – gemessen am Philadelph­ia Gold and Silver Index  - von 67,3 Punkten Anfang 2000 auf 216,95 Punkte am vergangene­n Freitag – ein Zuwachs von „nur“ 322%.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (August 11, 2011) US GOLD CORPORATIO­N (NYSE: UXG) (TSX: UXG) is pleased to announce assay results from several different areas at the El Gallo Project, located in Sinaloa State, Mexico, including:­ 1) infill drilling to the east, 2) an emerging high-grade­ zone to the southwest and 3) the Gold Zone.

El Gallo Infill Drill Results
Recent drilling at El Gallo has been focused on the eastern limits of the deposit (Fig. 2). The objective was to increase the confidence­ associated­ with the inferred mineraliza­tion, which is expected to upgrade this portion of the resource to the measured and indicated categories­ and help establish a reserve for preparatio­n of the ongoing feasibilit­y study.

Four holes, shown in the table below, were drilled inside the proposed pit design. Holes GAX-349 and GAX-351 successful­ly confirmed the presence of the inferred mineraliza­tion and help demonstrat­e the impressive­ grades and thicknesse­s associated­ with the Main Zone.
