Gold production in Mexico and gold investment benefits: Much of the supply of gold in the market since the 1990s has come from sales of gold bullion from the vaults of global central banks. This selling by global central banks slowed greatly in 2008. At the same time, production of new gold from mines had been declining since 2000. According to BullionVault.com, annual gold-mining output fell from 2,573 metric tons in 2000 to 2,444 metric tons in 2007 (however, according to Goldsheetlinks.com, gold saw a rebound in production with output hitting nearly 2,700 metric tons in 2011.) It can take from five to 10 years to bring a new mine into production. As a general rule, reduction in the supply of gold increases gold prices.
Storing physical gold has the same security threats as any cash in our house. It is equally vulnerable to theft as anything else in our house and thus, the investors have to be more cautious for their assets when investing into gold. although going for some other form of gold investment like gold ETF or fund of fund is a better way to go but this way too, you are not totally secure, you are vulnerable to internet security attacks but the difference here is that this security is threat is equally likely to happen to anyone or even everyone and even other investments too like mutual funds etc.
Since 2006, Golden Oasis (later ACM) has conducted an intensive program of geologic mapping, geophysical surveys, compilation and drilling. This work has increased the knowledge of the mineralized system, identified a drill defined resource, and helped define at least five viable targets for further exploration. ACM had anticipated continuing exploration of the Courtney target. To date ACM’s work has identified the favorable stratigraphy and potential feeder faults sufficiently that deeper drilling of Pipeline style targets is recommended. A single 1,500 feet long angle core hole is recommended in order to test favorable host rocks adjacent to one of the more favorable north-northwest feeder faults.

Discovered in 2012 this area has been found to host several veins 1 – 5m thick generally dipping 20 degrees to the east and striking north/south. It has been found within 50 meters of main in the footwall of San Martin structure in the footwall which was previously thought to be exclusively shales. To date at least 4 veins have been found above level 4 in the northeast of San Martin and possibly 2 veins above level 2 further south. Some of the veins are vertical and some are dipping around 40 degrees. In general most are striking parallel to San Martin breccia.
Starcore International Mining and El Creston Property development news: The Copper Anomaly Zone is a 1000 metre long x up to 250 metre wide copper in rock anomaly as defined by the >0.05% Cu contour. The anomaly is underlain by mafic metamorphic complex rocks and diorite that locally have been variably fractured, argillic and chloritic altered. Within the zone, anomalous copper and silver values occur. Molybdenum values are low throughout. Chip sample results include composites of 18 and 27 metres respectfully averaging 0.210% Cu, 3.9 ppm Ag and 0.23% Cu with 4.7 ppm Ag. The Copper Anomaly Zone has not been drilled.
