Should I wait for the price to drop to .5P or go in at .6P. Is the El Salvador government going to allow Condor to drill in the new area Condor are hoping for ?

Condor expects drilling on the La India project in Nicaragua to begin within the next few days.
Condor has contracted a diamond drill rig to drill 2,000 m of core with an option for a further 3,000 m.
The drilling programme has been designed in consultation with independent consultants SRK with the aim of increasing the JORC compliant inferred mineral resource of 4.58 Mt at 5.9 g/t for 868,000 oz gold which was announced on 4 January.
hopefully up another 30% in a few days.,.

Discovery of High-grade Gold Mineralised Breccia Zone at the Centre of La India Project in Nicaragua
Highlights:
The Central Breccia, discovery of 11m at 2.74g/t breccia in centre of La India Project.
The Central Breccia is open to the south where several metres have already been exposed by trenching.
Location is significant as it is at the axis of an epithermal gold system where veins to the south dip to the north and veins to the north dip to the south
The Central Breccia is significantly wider than the high grade epithermal gold veins hosting the current JORC Resource on La India Project
Condor (AIM: CNR), is pleased to announce the discovery of wide high-grade gold mineralised breccia on its La India Project at the centre of the La India Mining District epithermal gold system (the "District"). An 11m long trench excavated north-south across a large outcrop of quartz cemented brecciated felsic volcanic rock discovered at the top of a steep sided hill returned an average grade of 2.74g/t gold across the entire 11m length, including 2m at 6.77g/t gold at the southern end of the trench (the "Central Breccia").
The Central Breccia was discovered by Condor's geologists during prospecting and rock chip sampling in the area where a number of the main epithermal veins appear to converge, including the America-Constancia, Guapinol and Tatiana veins to the west and the Cacao Vein, on Condor's 100% owned Cacao Concession to the east. The discovery rock chip sample selected from the more quartz rich parts of the outcrop assayed at 13.6g/t gold and demonstrates the potential for new discoveries and the potential for different styles of epithermal gold mineralisation on Condor's concessions covering 166sq km in the District.
The Central Breccia appears to be associated with an east-northeast striking gold mineralised structure, consistent with other mineralised veins in the vicinity. An offset trench testing the northern continuity of the Central Breccia revealed an east-west striking, southward dipping, quartz vein which returned an intercept of 1m at 2.68g/t gold located 15m north of the Central Breccia, and another trench located 180m along strike to the east intercepted two southward dipping quartz veins, 4m apart, which returned assays of 1m at 0.97g/t gold and 3.15m at 4.48g/t gold.
It is encouraging that the wide gold mineralised intercept returned from the trench is orientated perpendicular to the general structural trend, representing a width of mineralisation unusual in the District. The overall morphology of the Central Breccia has not yet been defined beyond the observation that the outcrop appears to have similar dimensions of 10m to 15m in both a north-south and east-west direction, and the depth extent is unknown beyond the 2m exposed in the trench wall. Further trenching is underway along strike of the Central Breccia where small outcrops and float of similar breccia material have been identified. It is anticipated that this trenching will help establish the geology and distribution of gold mineralisation. In addition to the new trenching the discovery trench is being extended to the south where the mineralisation remains open, and trenching has already exposed several more metres of breccia.
There are a number of geological models that could explain the presence of a wide zone of gold mineralised breccia at surface, and until the thickness and lateral continuity of the Central Breccia are established the economic significance cannot be assessed. However, the location is highly prospective as the gold-mineralised Central Breccia is located at the structural centre of the La India epithermal gold system, along the central axis where gold-bearing structures converge; to the south of this axis the principal structures dip towards the north whereas to the north of this axis the principal structures dip to the south. Significant structural deformation would be expected at the point of convergence of these structures which would form a favourable host for gold mineralisation, which coupled with the fact that this axis may well be located above the centre of the source of the original gold-bearing epithermal fluids that formed La India Project's gold deposits makes this area an attractive exploration target.

JORC Resource update of 1,620,000 oz gold at 5.6g/t for the La India Project, Nicaragua
Highlights:
· La India Project JORC Code Mineral Resource increases 29% to 1,620,000 oz gold at 5.6 g/t, exceeds target of 1,500,000 oz gold
· Resource update from 11,905m drilling completed by Condor in calendar 2011
· Maiden Resource for California Veins, show open pit potential pending further investigation as located up to only 50m from main La India Vein
· Former Soviet style C1+C2+P1 Resource on La India Vein Set increased by over 50% to 730,000 oz at 5.3 g/t gold to JORC Code, based on additional exploration completed.
· La India Project has developed into 3 main areas, separated by 1km to 1.5km that could feed a centralised mill: La India Vein set of 730,000 oz gold at 5.3g/t, the America Vein set of 405,000 oz gold at 6.2g/t and the Mestiza Vein set of 334,000 oz gold at 7.0g/t.
Mark Child, Executive Chairman and CEO of Condor Resources plc, commented:
"To end 2011 with a JORC Code Mineral Resource of 1,620,000 oz gold at 5.6g/t on La India Project is an amazing feat compared with a JORC Code Mineral Resource of 41,000 oz gold at 1.22g/t on 1st January 2011..................

this is interesting from today's rns - more results to come from end of 2011 drills see extract below:
'There is already potential for a future resource increase when the assay results are returned for a further 12 drillholes for 2,651 m that were completed at the end of 2011. The drilling not included on the current Mineral Resource update is mainly on the America Vein Set, testing the down-dip extension of the Guapinol and America Veins, including the projected location of the intersection of the two veins. Assay results are also pending for two exploratory drill holes in the Central Breccia and for one drill hole testing the India and California veins.'
roll on next rns results in jan :-))))))))))))

Condor Resources smashes gold resource target taking La India project beyond 1.6 Mln ounces8:16 am by Ian Lyall Condor Resources (LON:CNR) this morning upgraded its JORC resource for the La India Project in Nicaragua to 1.62 million ounces of gold at 5.2 grams per tonne.
It follows the completion of almost 12,000 metres of drilling and the figure smashes the 1.5 million ounce target the company itself set for the year-end.
Chief executive Mark Child described achieving the landmark was an “amazing feat”. This is probably an apt description given the company’s resource base stood at just 41,000 ounces at 1.22 grams per tonne at the start of this year.
The La India Project has developed into three main areas separated by 1-1.5 kilometres that could feed a centralised mill.
They are the La India vein set that contains 730,000 ounces at 5.3g/t, the America vein set of 405,000 ounces at 6.2g/t and the Mestiza vein set of 334,000 oz at 7g/t.
The maiden resource on the California vein highlights the potential for resource increases from veins that are hidden and don't outcrop at surface, Condor said.
The discovery is highly significant as the resource in the La India Valley is over 700,000 ounces, comprising of a series of veins that are up to 1,500m long and are separated by a combined width of only 50 metres.
This highlights the potential for an open pit mine, the company added.
“Future exploration will focus on increasing the resource in the three main areas and aim to identify bulk tonnage targets to compliment the high grade vein system as well as seeking to identify a "feeder system" for the gold mineralisation in La India Project," CEO Child said.
The drill rigs keep on spinning well into 2012 as the group completes the remainder of its 20,000-metre programme.
By that time, in early summer, the 2 million ounce landmark ought to have been hit. At this point Child and his team will sit down and decide the next step.
One route might be to compile a bankable feasibility study on the 2 million ounces, thereby adding some detailed economics to the project.
The alternative, however, could see it restart the drilling to prove up a further one to two million ounces at La India.
Whether it does this or not may in turn depend on the results of a deep drilling programme. This is perhaps the most interesting and exciting phase of Condor’s drill programme. To date the group has drilled to an average depth of just 150 metres.
Two of the rigs it has onsite have the capacity to go down to 500 metres. And they will identify the point at which two of the main veins, which run parallel to each other for a length of over 1,000 metres at surface, converge at a depth of around 200 metres beneath surface.
The results of this crucial phase of drilling are expected by the end of the first quarter of next year.
Before he embarks on a more detailed analysis of the project, the Condor chief is keen to sketch in some financial details with a conceptual study of La India, which is expected to be an open-pit and underground operation.
Those who have followed Condor will know it also has a gold-silver project in El Salvador of just over 1 million ounces.

apparently....
'If you are prepared to wait until CNR is sold the following is a guide to the likely sp when the deal is done. 2.0 million oz @ $200 per oz and 650 million shares in issue = 39p per share 2.5 million oz @ $250 per oz and 700 million shares in issue = 56p per share 3.0 million oz @ $300 per oz and 750 million shares in issue = 75p per share 4.0 million oz @ $400 per oz and 800 million shares in issue = £1.25p per share Obviously, it will depend on whether Mark Child decides to go for 2, 3 or 4 million oz. The more ounces he goes for the longer it will take. 2 million oz by April 2012, 3 million by the end of 2012 - possibly 4 million if El Salvador comes back into the fold.'

broker note....
With a current market capitalisation of £38.4m and an approximate cash balance of $3m, Condor has a current enterprise value of ~£35m, or ~$55m. With its new resource, Condor is currently trading at less than $35/oz gold in-situ. As discussed in our recent initiation note on Condor (see “Condor: Central American Gold Company”, 6th December 2011) in our view there is not a sufficiently well defined peer group for appropriate peer group comparison for Condor. This highlights Condor’s advantageous position as having an early mover advantage in Nicaragua (and El Salvador in spite of the country’s current moratorium on mining) but does not allow for relative valuation. We believe that at current levels Condor offers a good investment opportunity as its share price has yet to re-rate following the resource expansion. Moreover, Condor presents a bold resource growth opportunity and we believe few smaller mining juniors will be able to sustain the same growth this year.

some of cnr +'s:
> An excellent management team of Mark Child, Jim Mellon and the recently appointed Roger Davey. During 2010/2011 Mark Child’s negotiation skills have contributed significantly to the resource in Nicaragua growing from 41,000 oz to the current 1.7 million oz at an average exploration cost of just $3 an ounce, far less than the industry average of $20 an ounce.
> The high grade of gold. The 1.7 million ounces is at just under 6 g/t.
> Nicaragua is a gold mining friendly country and has several established gold mines. The exploration/ and exploitation licences held by CNR were awarded for a 25 year period.
> La India District hosts an historic mine which produced at over 13 g/t. That suggests that a future mine will be economic to run. Early indications suggest that the clay based soil will make gold extraction relatively easy and that a good proportion of the ounces will be extractable through a simple gravity circuit.
> The aim is to prove up a large commercial reserve at La India District and then to sell to the highest bidder. 2 million ounces is the minimum target. The JORC total in the District is now 1,620,000 ounces. 8,000m of the current 20,000m drilling programme will be converted to JORC in H1, is expected to easily take the total to 2 million oz.
> When 2 million oz is reached CNR will be firmly on the radar of the top 30 producers globally and a take-over could potentially happen at any time.
> Previous Soviet exploration estimated 2.4 million oz in the District. Since then CNR has made numerous new discoveries and may recently have identified the epithermal feeder system for the main veins in the area. Gold also goes much deeper than the Russian estimate suggested so there is the clear potential for 4 million oz+ high grade gold in the District.
> Very good local infrastructure with a main road and power lines nearby.
> Excellent news flow expected to be maintained during 2012. Last year 42 RNSs were released.
> Assays are pending from several holes drilled on the new discoveries and from the first deep drill hole (400m) designed to test the depth extension of a high grade ore shoot.
> Currently very undervalued
> CNR has 1.1 million oz to JORC in El Salvador. Due to an ongoing moratorium on mining operations are currently suspended there and the resource is currently awarded zero value in the sp. That should change this year with the imminent publication of the Tau report and upcoming elections. When CNR is able to resume operations, it is expected to add more than 3 million ounces of gold to CNR pf
> MacQuarie bank is a cornerstone investor at 9p per share. Jim Mellon and the owners of Mendoza also bought or accepted shares at 9p.
> Rerating is due
> From last RNS another results RNS is due anytime
