Gold was down (at press time) $27.20 (-1.6%) for the week to $1,700.10, and silver was down $1.24 (-3.6%) to $33.07. Bloomberg attributed the loss December 4 to the “stalemate in US budget talks [which] drove commodities down.” According to Bark Melek of TD Securities, “Gold is being sold along with just about everything else in commodities with the worries on the fiscal cliff.” GoldCore noted December 6, “Physical buying of gold bullion has increased on the dip”—more on that below.
We are all cursed with economic Alzheimer’s these days, and so few will remember that not 18 months ago, similar negotiations in Washington were regarded universally as similarly cataclysmic. At that time, the politicians decided they would postpone Götterdämmerung until the end of 2012. One can hardly expect a much different resolution this time around.

Gold-Ore Announces Significant Increase in Proven & Probable
Reserve Estimate at Bjorkdal Mine in Sweden
Gold-Ore Announces Significant Increase in Proven & Probable
Reserve Estimate at Bjorkdal Mine in Sweden
Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, March 27, 2012 /FSC/ -
Gold-Ore Resources Ltd.
(GOZ - TSX), announces an updated proven and probable gold
reserve estimate for the 100% owned
Bjorkdal Gold Mine in Sweden.
This new reserve is the first update since the last reported
reserve estimate of October 2009 (see News Release dated
October 28, 2009), and since that time the Company has
completed significant exploration drilling and development.
Highlights are as follows:
* Open pit mineral reserves have increased to 205,696 ounces,
net of mine depletion which is a 58% increase;
* Underground reserves have increased to 112,078 ounces, net of
mine depletion, which is a 210% increase;
* Proven and probable gold reserves for both the open-pit and
underground units of the Bjorkdal mine now total 317,774
ounces, which at current annual production rates represents
approximately eight years of mine life, a significant increase
from the previous reserve life.
Robert Wasylyshyn, President of Gold-Ore, commented on the
expanded reserve base, "We are extremely pleased with this
reserve growth and it demonstrates the excellent mine life
potential at the Bjorkdal mine.
Since production first started at Bjorkdal in 1988, the mine has
produced over 1,060,000 ounces of gold. Furthermore, in
addition to the reserves there are significant measured and
indicated resources outside of the current mine plan.
Management is confident that with continued development, these
resources will be converted into reserves, thereby extending
the mine life further."
Following are the resulting estimated reserves using a gold
price of 300 SEK (Swedish Krona) per gram (US$1,395 per ounce):

Transaction Highlights:
Gold-Ore shareholders to receive one Elgin Mining common
share and one half of one common share purchase warrant
of Elgin Mining exercisable at a strike price of $1.30
per Elgin Mining share with a two year term
Transaction values Gold-Ore at $1.22 per common share
and represents a premium of 66.5% based on the volume
weighted average trading prices of Gold-Ore and
Elgin Mining for the 10 trading days ended January 31, 2012
Low risk, high quality asset portfolio: one producing gold mine; two attractive gold development projects
Elgin Mining's Lupin gold project provides exposure to a high grade, past producing underground mine with significant infrastructure and permitting in place and the potential for near term production
Strong balance sheet and cash flow: approximately $35 million in cash in the combined company; fiscal 2011 cash flow from Gold-Ore's Bjorkdal mine is $12.1 million
Transaction structured to fund on-going growth and development through potential warrant exercise
Share exchange provides Gold-Ore shareholders with a 57% ownership stake (67% fully diluted) in a superior combined company with geographic diversification, increased market profile, trading liquidity and research coverage
Shareholder representing approximately 17% of Gold-Ore shares has signed a lock-up agreement supporting the Transaction
Experienced combined team. Elgin Mining and Gold-Ore management and board have long standing operational and capital markets expertise in the mining sector with well-established track records
Unanimous support of the management of both companies.
The Transaction values Gold-Ore at $1.22 per common share based on the 10-day volume weighted average price of Elgin Mining ($1.15 of share value and $0.07 of warrant value) and represents a premium of 66.5% over the same period. Each Gold-Ore shareholder will receive one common share of Elgin Mining and one half of one common share purchase warrant of Elgin Mining exercisable at a strike price of $1.30 per Elgin Mining share with a two year term, for each Gold-Ore common share held. Each half warrant has been valued at $0.07 using the Black-Scholes method with a volatility assumption of 30%, term of 2 years, an exercise price of $1.30 per share, a reference 10-day volume weighted average price of $1.15 and an assumed risk free interest rate of 0.95%.
Elgin Mining's President and CEO, Patrick Downey commented, "The combination of Elgin Mining and Gold-Ore will create a strong international gold company with a solid portfolio of production and exploration assets in the politically safe jurisdictions of Canada and Sweden. Gold-Ore's Bjorkdal mine will provide meaningful cash flow which will fund the company's future exploration and development activities. The combined company's profile will be very attractive to current and future investors as a larger, diversified company with immediate production and future upside. We will continue to review quality opportunities that add to our resource inventory and production profile."
Glen Dickson, Chairman and CEO of Gold-Ore commented, "The Transaction provides Gold-Ore shareholders with significant and immediate value for their shares. Furthermore, with the Lupin mine fully permitted and the limited capital exposure for re-start of operations, our shareholders will participate in a rapid and meaningful ramp-up of production. We believe that the strategic and financial rationale of our Transaction is beneficial to Gold-Ore's shareholders, employees and other stakeholders."
Elgin Mining's Transaction will provide the following benefits to the shareholders of Gold-Ore:
A compelling premium of 66.5% to all Gold-Ore shareholders
Warrants under the Transaction structure provide Gold-Ore shareholders with additional upside and future capital inflows to the combined company
The combined company will be well funded with approximately $35 million in cash and with all operations in locations with minimal political risk
Participation in the past producing Lupin gold mine which produced 3.5 million gold ounces at an average head grade of 9 g/t gold over a 20 year mine life
Elgin Mining's Lupin and Ulu projects contain scalable upside. The past producing Lupin high-grade gold project has in-place infrastructure and its Class "A" water licence to recommence operations thereby reducing delays in permitting and costs
Strong expertise among Elgin's management and board in developing and operating mining projects; significant capital markets expertise and successful track record in the mining sector
Participation by Gold-Ore shareholders in the potential re-rating of Elgin Mining resulting from the increased size, liquidity, research analyst coverage and market visibility of the combined company
The shareholders of Elgin Mining will benefit from ownership in Gold-Ore as follows:
Ownership in the Bjorkdal Gold Mine in the low political risk jurisdiction of Sweden. The Bjorkdal Gold Mine has a strong track record of gold production generating meaningful free cash flow with significant exploration upside
Gold-Ore's cash flow generation of $12.1 million in 2011 will assist in accelerating the development of Elgin Mining's exploration assets
Resolute Funds Limited, as manager of Resolute Performance Fund, Gold-Ore's largest shareholder, has entered into a lock-up agreement with Elgin Mining in support of the Transaction in respect of 15,000,000 common shares of Gold-Ore representing approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis.
The Transaction includes a commitment by Gold-Ore and Elgin to not solicit an alterative transaction to the Transaction. Each company has agreed to pay a break fee to the other company of $2.8 million upon the occurrence of certain events. The Transaction has been declared a "Superior Proposal" as defined by an agreement signed by Gold-Ore and Astur Gold Corp. ("Astur") and will result in the payment of a break fee of $2.5 million by Gold-Ore to Astur. The previously announced transaction between Gold-Ore and Astur has been terminated.
Patrick Downey will continue in his role as President and Chief Executive Officer and Bob Buchan will remain Chairman of the Board. Robert Wasylyshyn will continue on as interim COO. Gold-Ore directors, David Mullen, Ronald Ewing, Glen Dickson and Robert Wasylyshyn will join the expanded board of directors.
The Transaction will be conditional upon certain conditions of completion, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, absence of material adverse changes and holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total votes cast by Gold-Ore shareholders approving the Transaction at a meeting of Gold-Ore shareholders. The Transaction will also be subject to the approval of 50% plus one of the total votes cast by Elgin Mining shareholders voting in favour of the Transaction.
Additional Details of the Transaction
Full details of the Transaction will be included in respective information circulars and a joint proxy circular to be filed with securities regulatory authorities and mailed to Gold-Ore and Elgin Mining shareholders in early March.
