The new B2Gold Corp. has immediate annual gold production of 45,000 ounces from the Limon Mine in Nicaragua.

Upon the filing of the Form 15F, the Company's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately and will terminate no more than 90 days after the filing, barring any objections from the SEC. Under SEC rules, a foreign private issuer such as B2Gold may deregister a class of its securities under the Exchange Act, and terminate the associated reporting obligations, if, among other conditions, the average daily trading volume of the Company's Common Shares in the United States is less than 5% of the Company's worldwide average daily trading volume for a 12 month period ending within 60 days of filing the Form 15-F.

GLE News
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 13, 2007 -- Glencairn Gold Corporation (Toronto:GGG.TO - News)(Toronto:GGG-WT.TO - News)(AMEX:GLE - News) reports that the environmental protection measures implemented since July at the Bellavista Mine in the Miramar area of Costa Rica have successfully reduced cyanide concentrations. The Company moved proactively to suspend mining operations on July 25th and then implemented environmental protection measures to ensure cyanide used in the heap leach processing on the site was rinsed from the site's leach pads and the cyanide destroyed.
Sampling of solution discharge from the leach pad as well as solid sampling of the leach pad has confirmed that cyanide concentrations are now at acceptable levels that pose no threat to the environment. The Company's analysis of cyanide levels from water and solid samples have been confirmed by independent laboratories.
Glencairn's environmental protection measures included detailed monitoring of the solution discharge from the pad and solid samples taken from trenches and boreholes in the leach pad itself. To ensure that the site is secure and environmental protection maintained, all cyanide or other potential contaminants common to the mining operations have been removed from the site. Rinsing of the leach pad, monitoring and sampling of solution discharge as well as solid sampling are continuing until a final technical status report is complete.
Rainfall in the Miramar area of Costa Rica has continued to be abnormally heavy and has caused surface erosion in some areas of the mine site. The mine has implemented remedial actions such as placing protective tarping to reduce rain induced erosion and is reinforcing and filling eroded areas.
The deep seated ground creep is continuing in certain areas of the mine site. In some areas of the site, there has been no movement recorded. The mine pit area and the areas where the major mining equipment, including the mill and crushing plant, are located have not been affected by the ground movement. The deep seated creep is occurring in the area between the processing plant and the leach pads and following deep bedrock troughs at the contact between the andesite basement and the paleosoil layer.
"Our operations team at the Bellavista Mine has done an excellent job in implementing our environmental protection measures to deal with this issue", said Peter Tagliamonte, President and Chief Executive Officer of Glencairn Gold Corporation. "With the successful reduction of cyanide levels, concern that ground creep movement could compromise the liner, subliner and drain system is no longer critical and any potential impacts on the environment have been significantly reduced."
Glencairn has maintained an open information exchange and positive relationship with government authorities and the local community in Costa Rica with respect to monitoring, reporting and future planning.
Glencairn is continuing to work with its team of geotechnical experts to ensure that the technical understanding and interpretation is handled in a proper and effective manner. Geotechnical drilling is continuing in order to gain additional data and understanding as recommended by the consulting experts. If a cost-efficient permanent solution is not found to the ground movement problem or required permitting for remediation is not obtained, it is possible that the Bellavista Mine may remain on hold indefinitely.
About Glencairn Gold Corporation
Glencairn is a gold producer with mining and exploration activities focused in Central America. The Company operates the Limon Mine in Nicaragua, owns the Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica and plans to convert a third mine, the Libertad Mine in Nicaragua, to conventional milling and expand annual gold output. It holds a 60% interest in the Cerro Quema advanced gold project in Panama and a 100% interest in the Mestiza gold property 70 kilometres from the Limon Mine. The Company focuses on efficient and productive mining practices to establish a firm base of quality operations. Glencairn is committed to growth by optimizing current operations and expanding mineral reserves at existing mines.
Has this stock bottomed? Looks like they may have their soft ground problems under control and the interest rate cuts are fuel for inflation and gold, no? What else should we be looking at here?
This is going to hurt:
Glencairn Suspends Mining Operations at Its Bellavista Mine
Wednesday July 25, 5:54 pm ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 25, 2007 -- Glencairn Gold Corporation (Toronto:GGG.TO - News)(Toronto:GGG-WT.TO - News)(AMEX:GLE - News) announces that mining operations at the Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica will be suspended immediately due to concerns over recent ground movements. Glencairn is taking this precautionary measure until a full technical analysis has been completed and required remedial action has been implemented.
ADVERTISEMENT
After initial review by a number of Costa Rican and international consultants, the Company believes that this movement is in part caused by water saturation due to abnormally high rain fall during the past several years. In some areas of the leach pad and waste pile, local ground movements have been identified in the range of one centimeter per day. Extensive ground monitoring has been undertaken and a number of remedial measures are underway to reduce ground movement including de-watering wells, surface water control, and redistribution of the weight load. Based on earth movement patterns in Costa Rica, the geological structure at the site, and the opinions of its experts, the Company does not believe that there is a risk of sudden earth movement at this time. However, continued small movements could compromise the sub-liner, liner and drain system. As a further precautionary measure, all cyanide application has been immediately suspended.
The Company expects advanced stage studies and analysis to be completed within the next few weeks. An update on the results of these studies and remedial measures being taken, along with the expected impact on the operation for the remainder of 2007, will be provided as soon as it is available.
"Glencairn has assembled a first class team of national and international experts including the original design engineering firm at Bellavista, and has installed extensive monitoring and modeling stations" said Peter Tagliamonte, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are committed to resolve the ground movement issue in a proper, safe and effective manner and have a permanent solution in place as soon as possible".

you are doing a good job here. Thanks for keeping the board updated. I still own a few shares <g>.
Glencairn Gold Corporation is a gold producer with three mines
in Central America.
Our Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica entered full production
in Q1/06, almost doubling the Company's gold output
to slightly more than 90,000 ounces.
Our Limon Mine in Nicaragua has been in continuous
production since 1941.
In addition, we recently announced the acquisition of
the La Libertad gold mine in Nicaragua,
which produced 34,000 ounces of gold in 2005,
and a 60% interest in Cerro Quema,

Glencairn Gold Announces $2.5 Million 2007 Exploration Program in Nicaragua
Monday January 29, 8:01 am ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 29, 2007 -- Glencairn Gold Corp. (Toronto Future:GGG.TO - News)(Toronto Future:GGG-WT.TO - News)(AMEX:GLE - News) announced today that it has initiated a CDN$2.5 million exploration program at its Nicaraguan gold properties. The program will focus on the Limon Mine and the Mestiza Project as well as the Libertad Mine, where there has been no exploration since 1998.
ADVERTISEMENT
"We are pleased to be starting the exploration program for all three properties," said Peter Tagliamonte, Glencairn President and CEO. "This will be our first real test of the geological potential of the Libertad area. At Limon, we will be exploring an area that has already yielded high-grade intercepts."
The program at Limon builds on a consultant's recent evaluation of the structural setting of the Victoria area west of current Talavera workings. The study confirmed that gold mineralization continues through this structurally complex area and is open to the west. It also provides some key geological guides for targeting follow-up exploration holes.
As previously reported, drilling in the Victoria area in 2004 intersected 16.5 grams gold per tonne (g/t) over 36 metres of core length in Hole 3235 and 7.7 g/t gold over 15.8 metres in Hole 3211 (See Glencairn news releases of August 13 and September 24, 2004). Surrounding drill holes show these to be localized zones in an area of structural complexity.
"The Victoria area, with its high-grade gold intercepts, confirms that the western continuation of the Talavera Mine trend is an excellent exploration target. This is obviously very exciting for us," said Michael Gareau, Glencairn's Vice President, Exploration. In the first quarter of 2007, Glencairn will begin to drill the projection of the prospective Talavera Mine trend to the west of the Victoria area.
This year's exploration budget also includes evaluation of other targets in the Limon district, as well as underground drilling at Talavera for local extensions of known mineralization in the producing mine area. Drilling at Talavera is expected to start in February. Glencairn is also developing the Santa Pancha vein located less than six kilometres from the Limon Mill. Santa Pancha is scheduled to reach commercial production in early 2007 and along with Talavera will be the significant sources of mill feed going forward.
The 2007 exploration budget also includes a drill program on the recently acquired Mestiza Project, an advanced gold project 70 kilometres by road from the Limon Mill. The first drilling objective is to confirm the inferred mineral resource of 689,700 tonnes grading 10.3 g/t gold containing 228,000 gold ounces (See Glencairn news release of September 7, 2006) and to convert it to an indicated mineral resource that can be used for an economic evaluation. The objective of the Mestiza Project is to provide an additional source of high-grade feed for the Limon Mill.
At Libertad, Mr. Gareau said the main elements of the program are to obtain additional information that will maximize conversion of the reported mineral resources to mineral reserves and, secondly, to increase the resource inventory by exploring known mineralized trends and gold prospects. "We are very positive about the exploration potential of Libertad. This will be the first new exploration activity at Libertad since the late 1990s and it will be very interesting to expand our geological understanding of this area," commented Mr. Gareau.
With two drills active on the property, the Libertad program includes:
- Core drilling that is confirming the geological model built on reverse circulation drill data undertaken by previous owners
- In-fill drilling for mine planning purposes
- Metallurgical sampling for tests to assess processing alternatives
- Geological mapping to aid step-out exploration drilling
In terms of operations at Libertad, the Company continues to study various options to improve the economics of the mine (see press release dated November 14, 2006).
Mr. Gareau, P.Geo. and Vice President of Exploration for Glencairn, is the Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. He has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release. With reference to the above-noted 2004 drill results from the Victoria area, the Company's on-site lab was used for sample preparation and assaying. External check assays were routinely performed by ACME Analytical Laboratories of Vancouver, B.C.

TO: Account Executives
FROM: NRR
DATE: January 22, 2007
Below is a press release we are putting out this morning.
This is the follow up to our recent research piece on the IMF
upcoming decision to publish central bank gold loan information.
The IMF has made the decision and will begin implementing this
procedure of new disclosure over the coming year.
Blanchard lauds IMF Central Bank gold lending accounting
change as industry landmark
Precious metals economic research entity has championed
this issue as key to adding even more transparency, price
growth to gold market
NEW ORLEANS (January 22, 2007) - After months of inquiries
and a hotly debated, in-depth position paper by its economic
research unit, Blanchard and Company has learned that the
International Monetary Fund has adopted a landmark accounting
change to the way Central Banks account for their gold loans,
giving this sector of the commodities market more transparency
than it has ever had, the precious metals market leader
announced today.
"This is a huge step forward for the precious metals market and
a major victory for the gold market investor," said
Blanchard Chairman and CEO Donald W. Doyle, Jr.
"Not since the Washington Agreement on gold in 1999 and
the legalization of gold ownership for Chinese citizens
in 2004 has there been such an important event in
the advancement of the gold market."
Blanchard and Company has long stated that the IMF’s
accounting guidelines have allowed Central Banks and
bullion banks to inaccurately account for their gold loans,
and the newly adopted accounting change means that
Central Banks will no longer include the amount of gold
they have loaned and sold into the market as part of
their reserve total assets, Doyle said.
"Transparency has always been a central issue in the gold
market for investors and analysts alike, but this decision
by the IMF will greatly redress that issue as these
accounting changes are implemented," Doyle said.
"It also only adds more credence to our analysis that
the precious metals markets are now poised to make
long-term, steady price growth."
On December 14, 2006, Blanchard published
"Gold Market Lending" on its website at http://www.blanchardgold.com/beru>,, and the industry buzzed
for days.
The paper, written by Blanchard’s Director of Economic
Research, Neal Ryan, provides exhaustive research analysis
of how Central Bank transactions could affect the gold market
if loan information was made in an accurate and timely fashion.
While some misconstrued the information as research on
market manipulation, the paper is instead specific to one
issue -
IMF gold accounting procedures for Central Banks as being
the most important component of gold market transparency.
"This is a wonderful development for the gold market because
of the additional transparency that is created by the changes
in IMF accounting regulations," Ryan said.
"This is an issue that changes the entire landscape of the
gold market for the betterment of all participants involved,
because there is now data available that had never
previously been published.
A transparent market is a healthy market, and
the gold market just got a lot healthier."
Ryan says it will take the IMF some time to institute
the new accounting procedures, but the outlook for
the gold market is a rosy one moving forward.
Blanchard and Company, Inc. is the largest and most
respected retailer of American rare coins and precious
metals in the United States, serving more than 350,000
people with expert consultation and assistance in the
acquisition of American numismatic rarities and gold, silver
and platinum bullion.
The Blanchard Economic Research Unit is a key source of
precious metals market analysis and continues to be an
important resource for financial and consumer media
throughout the United States.
Blanchard and its predecessor companies have called the
New Orleans area home for more than 30 years.

-END-
Without a doubt, should the central banks reveal the amount
of gold they have loaned out, this will rock the gold
market like nothing else in its history.
IMO the price could double in a very short period of time,
as market participants begin to understand THE GOLD IS GONE.
Now, we wait and see if this comes to pass.
What I don’t get is why the process should take any time at all.
Why should it take more than a week for central banks to
report on WHAT IS? There is nothing to research here??

To 'golden08' on 'Glencairn Gold Corporation - GLE' -
thanks golden - found this little article on
another forum - what do you think? -
Central banks will no longer include the amount of Gold -
they have loaned and sold into the market as part -
of (their) Peoples 888 reserve total assets"
(the banksters 666 talk about their Gold) -
they have to long fingers to understand -
that its the Citizens Gold of that country -
(its not fed's 666 fiatz) -
the corruption stops? ... can you imagine going
to the bank with all the cars you have sold
and every other asset yo ever sold in your life,
all the house etc and still include them in
the assest list...
(on the princip of 666 only) -
or being able to count Gold in your possesion -
that you borrowed -
(the 666 doing anything to destroy the Gold for
the 888 people -
the Citizens of the country has saved the Gold
for many generations but the 666 -
wipe it out in last 10 years -
robbed all Gold from all 888 Citizens?) -
The IMF has come through large for Citizens
of the world - * UNITE BUY GOLD * -
(some 888 must been added to the board recently?
it may waked up a bit?)
This is extremely large on its impact on GOLD ....

RE: Renmark's -
its looks to me - that many companies
I am a shareholder in and when
Renmark appeared with them -
has had a lot mystic problems -
and been underperforming ???
Imo!
Few new updates on the web site. A few new price upgrades. From .85 to 1.10. Wont be long. P.S Brent cook doesnt see the ortega thing being a problem like they got in bolivia and venezuala. Once everyone realizes this we will move up to a more deseving price. With a book value of .39 you cant buy a miner that has more value. Im already loaded up and ready to run. Now we need to see gold hit that big 1000. And ill be in the easy chair.
Yes. 50$. I see we are on the same page. Last year was copper this year will be silver. I can smell it in the air.
2000 dollar gold sounds good to me but lets not forget 50 dollar silver. LOL RC
I wont give up on gold till it crosses 2000 bucks. Im in for the duration.
don't give up, us lurkers drop by from time to time. Just look at yahoo board, most of us will take the peace of ihub. Regards, RC
Once everyone gets wind of this gem there will be postings. Just takes time when you work in the undervalue arena.
Well I like the stock, think it has a great future...not much interest in the MB....too bad.
Best to all.
Its so lonely waiting for everyone to arrive to the party. Kinda like the maytag man...LOL
Media has not picked up the AMEX GLE Glencairn with as much vigor as the Canadian. GLE seems to be under the radar screen for now.
GGG is no longer "hiding in the reeds", it is in the spotlight and looking good.
Appantly Q2 results in August is the best guess for when we will have a better idea whetehr this stock is a winnner or a dog.
I am in for the long haul for sure though.
Good gold stocks don't come arond that often.
Glencairn Gold Completes Mine Acquisition From Yamana Gold
(1 of 2)
2006/07/06 17:51:17
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 06, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Glencairn Gold Corporation
("Glencairn") (TSX: GGG)(AMEX: GLE) and Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana") (TSX: YRI)(AMEX: AUY)(AIM: YAU) are pleased to announce that they have completed the previously announced acquisition of the La Libertad gold mine in Nicaragua and a 60% interest in the Cerro Quema advanced gold project in Panama by Glencairn from Yamana.
Total consideration for the acquisition was 32 million Glencairn common shares.
"The acquisition of La Libertad and the interest in Cerro Quema achieves two key elements for Glencairn. It offers us an increase in gold production from La Libertad and a new-project pipeline. That pipeline consists not only of the advanced gold project at Cerro Quema, but also the surrounding highly prospective ground at La Libertad. We intend to devote considerable funds to exploration at the three existing mine sites," said Glencairn Chairman Kerry Knoll.
Company President and CEO Peter Tagliamonte said: "Our immediate focus is to assume operations at La Libertad to make the improvements necessary for this mine to realize its full potential, and to capitalize on the synergies inherent in having three operating mines within a five-hour drive of one another."
Glencairn's previously announced private placement of 30 million subscription receipts for gross proceeds of $18 million (see press releases dated June 22 and May 30) is scheduled to close later today. The financing was led by Orion Securities Inc. and included Canaccord Capital Corporation, Dundee Securities Corporation and Blackmont Capital Inc. Upon completion of the financing, the subscription receipts will be automatically exercised into 30 million common shares and 15 million common share purchase warrants. Each whole warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.80 until the earlier of (i) two years following closing, and (ii) at the option of Glencairn, the date that is 30 days following provision of notice to warrantholders from the Company that the closing price of its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange has been at least $1.20 for 30 consecutive trading days (such notice not to be provided prior to the date which is four months and a day following closing).
Yamana will subscribe for 4.2 million subscription receipts for $2.5 million under the financing. Upon completion of the financing, Yamana will beneficially own 42,022,500 common shares of Glencairn, representing 17.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Glencairn, and warrants to acquire an additional 2,100,000 common shares. Yamana does not have any present intention to acquire ownership of, or control over, additional securities of Glencairn.
Please note: There is a map available on CCNMatthews' website at the following link:
http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/ggg0706.pdf
The acquisition of La Libertad and Cerro Quema brings a significant improvement in Glencairn's reserve and resource base. For details of the reserves and resources at La Libertad and Cerro Quema, see the press release of Glencairn and Yamana dated May 30, 2006. To view the release, visit www.glencairngold.com.
Glencairn plans to make significant investment at the La Libertad mining operation to ensure the operation achieves its potential. Yamana had begun a program of additional metallurgical test work and upgrading of the crushing and screening circuit and the implementation of permanent heap leach pads. Glencairn will complete this program to allow the operation to maximize recoveries. The maintenance department and parts inventories will be expanded to optimize equipment availability and efficiency. Glencairn also plans to implement a major pre-stripping program to allow steady-state production rates and optimum stripping ratios. These actions in conjunction with new management are expected to result in significantly better performance. Glencairn is in the process of preparing a technical report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 including an updated estimate of the mineral resources for the property.
At Cerro Quema, Glencairn plans to initiate discussions with the 40% owner of the property with the goal of advancing the project towards production as soon as possible. At the same time, the Company plans to update the feasibility study completed by a previous owner in 2002 to reflect current costs of goods and services.
Glencairn estimates it will cost approximately US$10 million to complete these improvements and it also plans to commit US$3 million to exploration at the three existing mine sites over the next 12 months.
About Glencairn
Glencairn is a junior gold producer that, prior to the Yamana acquisitions, had two mines in Central America, the Limon Mine in Nicaragua and the Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica. Gold production is anticipated to surpass 100,000 ounces this year with the additional output from La Libertad.
About Yamana
Yamana is an intermediate Canadian gold producer with significant gold production, gold and copper-gold development stage properties, exploration properties, and land positions in Brazil and Central America. Company management plans to continue to build on this base through the advancement of its exploration properties and by targeting other gold consolidation opportunities in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America.

Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Yamana and Glencairn to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to risks related to: unexpected events during construction, expansion and start-up; variations in ore grade, tonnes mined, crushed or milled; variations in relative amounts of refractory, non-refractory and transition ores; delay or failure to receive board or government approvals; timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; the operations of Yamana to be acquired by Glencairn not being integrated successfully or such integration proving more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected; not realizing on the anticipated benefits from the transaction or not realizing on such anticipated benefits within the expected time frame; risks related to international operations; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of current reclamation activities; conclusions of economic valuations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold and copper; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in the completion of development or construction activities, as well as those factors discussed in or referred to in the current annual Management's Discussion and Analysis and current Annual Information Form of each of Yamana and Glencairn filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and available at www.sedar.com, and the Form 40-F of each filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Although management of each of Yamana and Glencairn has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Neither Yamana nor Glencairn undertakes to update any forward-looking statements that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.
