Huldra Obtains First Tranche of Dip Financing and Agrees to Engage Haywood Securities as Strategic Advisor
maybe a see-saw
dow down gold up
I might re-enter when it is at a good position. I made two very good trades. Number one: starting at 0.06, number two starting at 0.085, and maybe the next trade would start at around 0.09(5)
maybe just slow catching up to the news of gold's rise yesterday...
That's the strange point. Nothing... As it rose over 30% without any reason, I sold my position that I held since 0.085... If I knew that we would be at 0.2 that fast, I would have held, but no one can know beforehand.
Some kind of news that woke up our tired friend?
Damn.... 0.2!! ... I should have waited... I sold for 0.135 - 0.145
It might be too early, but I sold my position for a good 45% profit.
We could double within a short time...
Very nice buys today. But to be sincere, 10.5 cents is still massively undervalued!
The good thing is that the bigger sellers are now gone. ASK very thin!
I would be disappointed if we don't see a 11.5 cent close here today.
If silver really starts to recover, we will see an easy 15 cents pretty soon!!
It was at 11 cents today.. I hope that silver recovers soon, to see a nice increase here.
Let's say silver really begins to recover, the PPS here will rise also quite good. If you would average down, you might be in the plus by year's end.
I had lots of juniors with (sometimes more than) 10fold entry points, but I averaged down on nearly all of them, so now if they "only" double, I will be in the green. No worries, as I know silver will be at around 30$ by year's end. (Once it passes the 21$ area we are good to go). Gold will support us also.
sounds good ATB except for my entry being $1.30 :(
gl
Back at my entry point... Now we are ready to start. (ASK at 0.09) -> I think we will rise fast if silver can hold above 20$
CHEAPIES! no more to say at this point. Everything under 0.1 is just a no-brainer.
Perfect buying price right now!
Good company: http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=58573903
I expect a close near 0.1 today, as we might well recover after the "panic moments" early today. GLTA
I think they need at least 26 dollar silver for treasure mountain to be feasible.
I took a good 50% profit today at .105, and am currently waiting for silver market signs.
They need to pay 7.5 million dollars bei october 31st. If they dont pay Waterton might take the mine. If silver stays in the low 20s (im bullish on silver but who know when it goes higher again) then they will need debt (difficult if mine is not profitable) or huge dilution (which they announced already).
There is a lot of risk involved, they dont have time on their side and its more of an silver option than a stock were you can wait.
So you dont worry about the shareholder letter projecting profits at 19.50 silver which are not materialising. That there might be lower grades less silver in the ground. Or that they state that they need more dilution or about their ability to pay of debt etc.?
The price is dirt cheap if they can pull it off but there are siginificant doubts and there is a lack of information. Even the IR guys stopped working with them because they didnt return their call.
Huldra is beginning to rise, as the stock is oversold extremely. If silver can recover, this stock will reach its normal trading range within a short timeframe IMO.
the problem with that is the amount of debt they need to pay off and that the figures in the shareholder letter show a profitable mine at 19 dollars. Obviously this is not the case else they would have continued producing. This must mean that there is less silver in the ground than expected (aka lower grade).
Numbers from the shareholder letter (see NEWS releases May 27th):
Cost:
Mining+ underground exploration: $8.4 million per year ($700.000 per month)
Milling: $7.2 million per year (§600.000 per month)
----------
All in costs: $600.000+$700.000= 1.3 Million per month
Production:
1.5 Million silver equivalent
Revenue at $19.65 silver (latest closing price):
1.5*$19.65= $29.47 million or 29.57/12= $ 2.45 million per month
Profit:
2.456-1.3= $1.15 Million per month at current silver price and mill at full capacity.
Questions I have: 1)why arent they profitable if their own projections in May after 5 month of production experience and almost 2 month of commercial production showed they would be at CURRENT silver prices. 2) Is it due to lower grade, less silver in the ground? 3) How are they going to pay of Waterton Debt on the 31st of October if silver price stay below break even point until then. Where is the break even point?? 4) Why were the projections they gave at the end of May way off? How can I trust them and their resource base if there own statements are not trustworthy. Thats important when investing in Huldra, as they only have historical estimations on the resource and we have to trust management on the potential of the mine.
It is not the only mine that has halted the production. Golden Minerals (about 1.5 years ago a billion-dollar company) has halted production also until the prices go back up again. Let's assume we are back over 25$ in a few weeks. I think Huldra would be profitable and operate again. We will see
"we are near a bottom"
I dont see this being a ten bagger at all. Huldra just closed its mine to save cash obligations. This must mean that the mine producing at close to full capacity was incurring NET cash obligations. In other woirds it was not profitable. This is very strange, as the mine is supposed to be very high grade silver. Also the production levels Huldra wanted to achieve as well as their all in cost estimates point to a profitable mine at 19-20 dollar silver. However it seems to be making losses and consuming cash even at full production. The only explanation I can give for this is that they do not have high grade or less silver in the ground than expected. This would explain their decision to close the mine. If it was profitable it would help reduce debt not add to it.
They will have difficulty getting financing and paying of debt when the mine is making losses. How much silver do they actually have and at what grade? Why did they close the mine? If it was unprofitabel was that because of low grades or less silver in the ground? Those are the questions at the moment.
-haven't found the money to continue yet.
-potential take out target, not from a position of strength.
-nice resource, producer, but at $19 silver don't know if it's economic even without a big debt.
pd $1.20 in the fall so .075 looks... well... different..?.
I think we are near or already past the bottom. This thing will be a ten bagger within a few months!
$HUSIF - $HDA.V - Huldra Silver Provides an Open Letter to Shareholders
http://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/news-releases/305-tsx-venture/hda/13382-huldra-silver-provides-an-open-letter-to-shareholders.html
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 27, 2013) - Huldra Silver Inc. ("Huldra" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:HDA) is pleased to provide an open letter from the President and CEO to shareholders to outline the Company's going-forward objectives, as well as highlight key milestones achieved over the past three years. The Company's near-term mining objectives include:
Produce a minimum of 1.4 million ounces of silver, 5 million pounds of Lead and 4 million pounds of zinc on an annualized basis by July 2013 until a mine expansion is warranted by increased resources; and
Continue to expand the current resources at the Treasure Mountain Mine and explore for additional mining opportunities on the property.
Three years ago the Company commenced an exploration and development program with the objective of putting the Treasure Mountain Mine into production. Despite volatile equity markets, the Company was singularly focused on this goal. We would like to take this opportunity to review those achievements and congratulate the entire team on their efforts but more so provide focus on where we are planning on taking the Company over the next three years.
Huldra currently has a dedicated fully integrated mining, milling, construction and exploration staff of over 100 people in Southern British Columbia.
The Company is currently underground mining and exploring at the high-grade 100% owned Treasure Mountain Mine and exploration property.
The mill feed is processed at the Company's 100% owned plant and property in Merritt, British Columbia and has an interest in a large copper/iron exploration property at the former Craigmont mine site.
Grassroots Exploration
Over the past three years, the Company has been following up on previous exploration work and utilizing modern exploration methods to provide new exploration targets. We have highlighted 4 high priority targets for drilling in 2013 but that is not the limit of the potential for the entire property.
In 2010, two vein structures, the East Zone and the JK vein, were identified through trenching work and a small drill program. The East Zone was followed up in 2011 with a mini bulk sample from surface that resulted in a direct to smelter shipment of recovered vein material. The vein remains open at depth for exploration. The JK vein remains open for exploration.
In 2011, the Company commenced a soil geochemistry program on the property that was increased in size in 2012 to a total of 1127 samples.
In 2012, Huldra conducted an airborne survey on the property to cover the entire the entire 7000 acre Treasure Mountain Property.
In addition to the four highlighted areas that are drill ready, the MB Zone, the Jensen Workings, and two anomalies in the Camp Zone, the Company has a number of geophysical anomalies that will be followed up with additional soil sampling. There are also a number of previous workings on other parts of the property that have not been followed up in recent years and will be part of a geological mapping and prospecting program.
Mining
The Company began opening up existing underground drifts on 4 levels in 2010 and this was completed in 2011. There is currently over 4000 metres of underground development on 4 levels over a down dip of 350 metres and a strike of 250 metres. The deposit is open at depth and to the east for future development and exploration.
A complete mining camp was installed on the property in the summer of 2011 and underground operations commenced with exploration and development in September 2011.
A Mines Act permit was received in May 2012 for underground mining at the Treasure Mountain Mine. To date, all mining activity has been focused on mining between level 1 and the surface. Two large stopes were completed in 2012 and a third is currently in progress. Two additional stopes are in planning and development on level 1. Once mining is complete between level 1 and surface, mining will be focused on the area between level 2 and 1 by Q3 or Q4 of 2013.
Currently a 4700 metre drill program is in progress from 4 drill stations on level 2. Once completed, mine development will commence and a new NI 43-101 resource and technical report will be filed in late Q3 or Q4 of 2013.
Future underground exploration will involve extending levels 2, 3 and 4 to the east, drilling below level 4 and following up on additional structures that have been identified during underground exploration. The objective of the underground exploration is to expand the resource to warrant an application for a major mines expansion. The Company has substantially completed all of the work required to file an Environmental Impact Assessment as part of the major mines expansion process.
The 2013 mining and exploration budget was stated as $8.4 million in the year end MD&A dated December 31, 2012 and may be revised as conditions warrant.
Milling
The Company purchased the former Craigmont Copper Mine in Merritt, British Columbia in May 2011 for a total purchase price of $8 million with the final payment made in April 2013. The purpose of the acquisition was for constructing an expandable 200 tonne per day crushing/grinding/floatation mill. The property consists of 966 acres of fee simple land, 347 hectares of mining leases and 8456 hectares of mineral claims. The property covers a large area along the southern extents of the Guichon Batholith 25 kilometers south of the Highland Valley copper mine.
The permit amendment for allowing for the construction and operation of the mill was received in May 2012 and above ground construction began immediately. With the exception of permanent office facilities, the construction has been substantially completed.
The mill produces silver/lead and silver/zinc concentrates. The first concentrates were shipped in November 2012.
The Company announced that commercial production had been achieved on March 26, 2013 with the expectation the mill would be running at 60% capacity over the next 90 days.
As April 30, 2013, 810 tonnes of silver/lead concentrates and 697 tonnes of silver/zinc concentrates have been shipped to the smelter for total payments of US$5,014,045. Preliminary invoices and payments received were for a total of 239,717 ounces of silver, 893,767 pounds of lead and 622,513 pounds of zinc.
The operating costs of the mill are currently projected to be $600,000 per month based on current costs.
The mill is expected to achieve 100% of design capacity before July 2013 with one small additional upgrade to the ball mill scheduled for June 2013.
The mill currently operates using reclaimed water from the existing underground workings on the mill property and by discharging tailings into a fully lined tailings pond.
All of the mill components have an estimated capacity to process approximately 500 tonnes per day of material with the exception of the ball mill which would require only an upgrade to the existing ball mill or an additional ball mill in the current space along with the necessary mechanical and electrical components.
The Company received a technical report on the Thule Copper-Iron project on April 29, 2013 outlining up to 12 exploration targets in addition to the partially mined underground workings.
The Company also has a tolling arrangement on one aggregate pit on the property with additional aggregate permits on other parts of the property.
The objectives of the Company are to:
Produce a minimum of 1.5 million ounces of silver equivalent on an annualized basis until a mine expansion is warranted;
Have one of the lowest operating costs for an underground mining company in the industry by utilizing its fully integrated structure;
Continue to expand the current resources at the Treasure Mountain Mine and explore for additional mining opportunities on the property; and
Explore and evaluate additional opportunities for the excess mill and tailings capacity at the Mill.
The Company has spent $15,180,379 developing and exploring the Treasure Mountain Mine property over the past 3 years and $28,352,307 acquiring the Merritt Mill Property and developing the plant and tailings facility. The Company has $29,556,533 in property, plant and equipment exclusive of the mineral rights and permitted mines as of December 31, 2012.
Ryan Sharp, President and CEO states, "The team we have built at Huldra has made tremendous achievements over the past three years and we are more excited about our opportunities over the next three years. Our long-term objective is to turn Huldra in to a premium mid-tier silver producer."

Well I emailed Ryan and they are new warrants. I hope this isn't going to become a habit.
Dilution
"Company has agreed to increase the number of warrants to be issued to Waterton in connection with the drawdown of the fourth tranche from 650,000 warrants to 1,000,000 warrants, each exercisable into one common share of the Company for a period of five years."
Does this mean dilution?
Ah heh, I need to get some alerts setup for this stock :( this is my first tsx purchase so I'm a bit of a novice!
Monday was a CA holiday - Victoria Day. I got 7 PRs via Google Alert this AM around 0815 EDT. LOL

HULDRA SILVER (TSXV:HDA)(PINK:HUSIF)
SILVER explains gold...
You would be doing yourself an incredible favor by reading this entire post.
When everyone says the inflation adjusted high of gold was $2300 in 1980. They are misleading you, that is the government adjusted inflation numbers.
The government does not include items in their inflation index that are actually frequently bought or things you actually buy like food and energy because the inflation measurement would go through the roof
The real inflation adjusted high of gold was $7500, and that price($850 in 1980), multiplied by the gold we hold, only backed the M1 currency supply which is only a small portion of the total dollars.
So you ask… that's how high gold CAN GO but what makes you so sure gold IS going higher?
Read on…
A quick crash on our debt…
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/finance/2010/June/US-Debt-Could-Reach-196-Trillion-by-2015/
http://www.examiner.com/finance-examiner-in-national/us-national-debt-to-hit-24-5-trillion-by-2015-and-144-trillion-liabilities
Everytime they borrow more money, no matter who it's from, they have to pay back the lender with interest. There are many different bills, bonds and notes, not to important, but what is important is they all have different rates of interest attached to them.
The average being 3% right now.
Everytime one of those bills, bonds, or notes comes due, not only do they have to pay back the lender but they also have to roll over the debt as they still need to borrow the money… they cannot yet pay it back. So the sucker, same one or new, who is lending us money gets his choice of paper and we have to pay the interest again.
http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Our current debt is $13.6 Trillion. At an average interest rate of 3%. This is an annual interest payment of $408 Billion. You can see using this very simple math I am very close to the actual number… http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/ir/ir_expense.htm …
for 2010 it was $410 Billion.
So what happens when you get a debt of $20 Trillion? $600 Billion dollars of your tax money goes to just paying off the interest on the debt($20Tx3%).
They only collect $1.7 Trillion in taxes in the first place, each year. They spend nearly $4 Trillion, either borrowing or simply printing the difference…. they call it "buying bonds."
All of this is at the current average interest rate.
You know what happened the last time there was a bull run on gold, which was in the 70's?
So many people were slowly fleeing fiat currency and moving into hard assets like gold/silver(because of all the money they were printing, inflation) that they had to raise the interest rates, in order to attract people back to the banking system/fiat monetary system. The market was choosing gold as money.
It is a very simple equation… When you print enough money to cause the rate of inflation to exceed the rate of interest the bank pays you… people exit the fiat system into hard assets. Why?... because you now are losing money by having your savings/wealth in the banking system.(5% inflation - 2% interest= LOSS)
This inflation driver, combined with the fact that the people who purchased before you are already driving the price up(your never first in line), a self-perpetuating cycle occurs, as you know what is logical for yourself is logical for others, and the values of hard assets like gold/silver rise rapidly.
In the end, by 1980 when gold made it's $7500 high, they had to raise the interest rate to an incredible 19%. So attractive, this rate, people couldn't help but sell hard assets, like gold, and move back into the fiat monetary system with their wealth. It simply made logical sense as the rate of interest far exceeded the rate of inflation.
Now…The important part…
They obviously cannot raise interest rates at all when they have a $20 Trillion debt. An average interest rate of just half of what it was in 1980, 9.5%, would cause financial armageddon for the government. All of the money you pay in taxes would go only to paying interest on debt. This is mind blowing. ($20T x 9.5%= $1.9T in interest)
So you see, the last thing they can have happen is for the interest rate to go up. It would be the end for them financially, so how do they keep it low? By issuing bonds quickly, cheaply, and easily… they keep the interest rate low, which really means… printing more money.
What I am telling you right now is that they are "STUCK" PRINTING MONEY. It is fairly easy to understand, I hope I could make it clear enough.
I hope you can see from this very simply math that you are also "stuck" in a permanent gold bull. The only way to end a gold bull run is to raise interest rates to the point, where after you minus the rate of inflation, you are still gaining on your wealth/savings.
They no longer have that tool at their disposal because of the enormous debt.
In fact we are likely to see gold break above it's old inflation adjusted high of $7500 and go much higher.
