If you guys do your research on the Precious Metals market....

you'll see when Gold has traded solidly above $600, Silver trades well above $20 per oz. ...

The Gold-to-Silver ratio is currently in the process of coming closer to its historical norm... and as Gold moves higher, Silver will adjust accordingly (probably stronger due to price leverage).

The show in Precious Metals is only just getting started folks...

Adjusted for inflation... Gold should currently be valued at approx. $2,000 per oz.

With the Silver price strong.... I bet that COMIBOL would like to get some increased efficencies happening in Cerro Rico, sooner rather than later....

which bodes well for a strong desire to conclude the J.V. ... so they can get down to business.

I don't think we are far away from seeing a repeat of the early 1980's........

http://12.42.70.96/GoldOverlayChart.asp

However, this time the Precious Metals run will likely run much longer becuase, if you study the market, yearly demand for Precious Metals is running much higher than new yearly mine supply.... inflation, debt, deficit, geo-poltics are all just adding fuel to the fire.... 4 digit Gold by 2008.... won't be suprised if it gets there much sooner.

My original Silver forecast for Silver was $15 - $20 p/oz by the end of this year.......

however, after checking the historical Silver data.... and when Gold was over $600 p/oz in the 1980's, Silver was trading mostly between the $25 - $45 p/oz range.......

Given the historical data, I wont be suprised if Silver reaches $20 p/oz way before the end of this year... maybe within the next 1 - 3 months.

Cerro Rico's Silver production has never been matched.......

When one compares Cerro Rico to other BPV deposits, three features stand out as being exceptional:

* The phenomenal silver resource. Cerro Rico has produced almost five times more silver than any other BPV deposit.

* Development of a thick acid-sulfate lithocap. The acid-sulfate lithocap at Cerro Rico is at least twice as thick as any other described from a BPV deposit.

* Development and preservation of a particularly deep zone of oxidation. This is almost four times as thick as any other developed at a BPV deposit.

Oil just a couple ticks from going over $70.00.... and the oil chart is currently in a 1 yr. rising wedge (rising wedges usually break to the upside).... and I think a strong Hurricane season this year will take us somewhere between $80 - $100 oil this year.

In the short term, $70 oil will probably push Gold solidly over $600 ..... and solid $600-plus Gold will probably push Silver to between $15 - $20 p/oz minimum.

For those that think 4 viens in Cerro Rico doesn't mean much.... you are wrong.

COMIBOL isn't going to give the entire mine to FMNJ/Jamie as a start (that would be stupid).... no, COMIBOL are only going to give FMNJ/Jamie a small section as a initial test... and if FMNJ/Jamie can prove their good intentions/abilities, my bet is, more viens will then be forthcoming in a series of progressive steps... which is great, becuase it allows for an ever increasing ramp-up in positive news going forward for quite some time, as things progress positively.

WTZ - Western Silver Corp. = $1.26 BILLION

OF SIGNIFICANT NOTE IS: My research seems to indicates that both SSRI (market cap of $1.1 BILLION) and WTZ (market cap of $1.26 BILLION) HAVE NO MINING REVENUE... and look to be valued based upon their in-ground Silver/mineral reserves and their potential future revenue.

longterm42... you might be right;

* we're in a very hot sector: Silver.

* we're negotiating to get a piece of one of the largest Silver mines in the world: Cerro Rico in Bolivia.

* we've got a CEO with a Bolivian background.

* we're still under a penny and a half a share.

* the Silver market is a very small market... it's much smaller than the Gold market... so when money moves into the Silver sector, there's only a very comparatively small number of companies that money can flow into.

Math session to calculate FMNJ's Jr. Mining ranking..........

The info I got from Nasdaq.com indicates FMNJ opened Jan 3/06 at .0008 .... and that today it closed at .014 .....
http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?mode=basics&kind=&symbol=fmnj&symbol=FMNJ&selecte...

so, a little math seems to say: .014 - .0008 = .0132 / .0008 = 1,650%

so, if my math is correct, FMNJ is actually the top performing Jr. Mining stock year-to-date 2006 as based upon Golddrivers.com percentage gain cirteria..... http://www.golddrivers.com/

however, the reason FMNJ proboably doesn't show up on Golddrivers.com "top 10" list is becuase;
* Golddrivers seems to only use the historical data from Yahoo Finance to automate the calulations for their rankings.
* FMNJ does not have historical price data for Jan 2006 at Yahoo Finance...
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=FMNJ.PK
* without historical data at Yahoo Finance, FMNJ probably wont get listed in Golddrivers.com

Please correct me if my math is incorrect.

Golddrivers is a very popular Jr. Mining web site, and would help FMNJ get much needed extra exposure if we can get listed in the top 10 index (and FMNJ has already earned that right).......

Conservative estimates for Cerro Rico's current Silver reserve run around 250 million oz. ... while some estimate the Silver reserve to be as has high as 2 billion oz. ... the truth is nobody really knows accurately what the current Silver reserve of Cerro Rico actually is, becuase, the mine has never been subjected to an extensive modern exploration drilling program... however, according to NERC, Cerro Rico is estimated to still hold approx. 5 times more Silver than any comparable Bolivian depsoit...

Bobby Godsell, chief executive of AngloGold Ashanti, predicted that worldwide gold production would stagnate, then fall in the coming years as large deposits of the precious metal become scarce.

in an interview with the FT, Mr Godsell warned that the Gold industry will find it hard to keep up current levels of production. “All of the gold majors are finding it difficult to replace their reserves. New mine production will be flat-to-declining.”

If FMNJ can reach a joint-venture deal on Cerro Rico.... the publicity the deal with attain will be quite significant....

I think few people on this board understand the historical significance that mine has world-wide.... if FMNJ reaches a deal with COMIBOL, it will ROCK the Silver industry.

Many mining companies having been trying to reach deals for access to that mine for many years.

Many here probably don't realize this.... but there is an award winning documentary about Cerro Rico... about how danergous the mine is, and about how many people have lost their lives working in that mine...... here the movie's web page...
http://www.thedevilsminer.com

And like I said before... this deal is about HELPING PEOPLE as much as it is, if not more, than mining itself.

A conservative esitmate for the Cerro Rico Silver reserve alone is 250 million ounces....

and many estimates are much higher than that....

fact is, nobody really knows the current Silver reserve becuase the mine hasn't been subjected to any extensive modern exploration programs.
