I've also topped on on silver ETF this week. With the volume of industrial/commercial uses and supply dropping, there could be a lot of upside. But then I tend to think gold is going to continue rising long term.

Fresnillo has signed a binding agreement to acquire Newmont Mining's 44% interest in the Penmont joint venture for a total cash consideration of US$450m.

This comprises the Herradura, Noche Buena and Soledad Dipolos mines, the Mega Centauro and Centauro Deep advanced exploration projects and a number of key exploration prospects.

Fresnillo currently holds a 56% interest in the JV.

The acquisition is conditional on Fresnillo shareholder approval.

Chief executive Octavio Alvídrez said:"The acquisition of the Penmont assets from our JV partner Newmont would see Fresnillo assume control of a quality portfolio of assets which would significantly enhance our gold production and be central to our growth.

"Acquiring full control of the Penmont assets would enable us to both maximise the value of current producing mines which we have extensive experience in operating, and unlock further long-term value from Herradura as a highly prospective region where we have a strong track record of exploration success. We are excited by the exploration potential that it represents, with three of our key exploration projects in the Herradura Corridor, and a variety of additional targets already being drilled.

"Acquiring full control of the Herradura and Noche Buena mines and the key exploration assets in the JV should enable us, with our current operatio

Update - Fresnillo

I featured this very interesting share on 8 December with this chart updated on 29 December:

I show a lovely textbook five down to sub-700p and then a large wedge (see text, pp 33-38, 71-80, 152) in formation. This had all the appearance of a basing operation. I reckoned that if the market could break above the upper green line that would set the seal for a vigorous rally.
Another factor in support of my bullish forecast was the extremely bearish market sentiment towards gold/silver. Most pundits expect the PMs to decline with a commonly-held target for gold to sub-$1,000. I had the exact opposite view.
Now, just last week, the market broke up with gold out of the wedge on strength:

This now sets up my probable Elliott wave roadmap. If my labels are correct, we are in a third wave up - and these are generally long and strong. My first target is just above at the 850 area (the Fibonacci 50% level), but much higher targets beckon.
Another charting target based on the wedge thickness at the left hand edge is the 900 area.

As I wrote in December, this share holds great potential for appreciation over the next few months.

Now what gf? Down 5%. Will it retry the DMA or more downside?
My simplistic chart seems to indicate more downside to come (RSI & MACD)

Think he got a wedgy harry........ so much for charting.,.

post 124 refers back to "research" done in early december, so it was all rather misleading and out of date

It came from iii on monday.

And your wrong READ the article..........

"I featured this very interesting share on 8 December with this chart updated on 29 December:"

All the mining sector is down today......and a lot more than this % wise.

SILVER hasnt fallen through support..........Bet still on.

the primary target was 850 which was not greatly above yesterday's level
anyway, it's not one for me

You still have read it wrong. Look at the chart from the 29th and exclude today........

do you get it now?.

Silver is a fair way from the floor.

1 day doesnt make a winter.

Your right about the mining sector GF, KAZ has taken a big hit...... another mistake.,.

Yup KAZ down nearly 20 % bit steep don't you think .

VED also down badly.

20% in a day...... jeez.

These markets this january are so volatile .

Last year we had a brill January from my trading diary bar the first week when the big boys were back from xmas and new year break, window dressing.

Bet it will change when Draggy announces QE for EC on 23rd?

sticks - i don't argue you with you on these things, but at the moment, the stock indices are an easier way of making money, for the very reason that everything is so volatile

Good point. Volatility is an indicies mans best freind.

Strange that Shortie is appearing though quite often on other threads.

Just out on Twitter.

European Court rules Draghi can push ahead with eurozone QE

A massive programme of bond-buying by the European Central Bank was given the green light this morning, paving the way for it to spend hundreds of billions of euros to fight deflation. Government bond

Nice reversal on the SP. Still down but no where near the mining sector.

In fact right on the break up resistance line.

Nice opportunity for fans to climb aboard.
