Stockhouse Movers & Shakers: Gold to average $2011 in 2011, Ing says.

Gold shares have lagged behind the performance of gold bullion. But veteran Canadian
gold bug John Ing doesn’t expect this situation to last..

..

“Some of the big cap names are even trading at 10 to 12 times next year’s earnings and now
could be considered “value” investments,’’ he said.

Meanwhile, Ing remains convinced that a number of companies are takeover candidates.
They include:

> Detour Gold Corp. (TSX: T.DGC, Stock Forum)

> Guyana Gold Fields Inc. (TSX: T.GUY, Stock Forum)

> Osisko Mining Corp. (TSX: T.OSK, Stock Forum)

> Continental Gold Ltd. (TSX: T.CNL, Stock Forum)

> Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: T.ESN, Stock Forum)

> MAG Silver Corp. (TSX: T.MAG, Stock Forum)

Ing sees more upside among the junior producers, partially due to the impact of exploration
and resulting growth in reserves and production. In this segment of the market, Maison
Placements likes Aurizon Mines Ltd. (TSX: T.ARZ, Stock Forum), Centamin Egypt Ltd.
(TSX: T.CEE, Stock Forum), St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd. (TSX: T.SAS, Stock Forum),
Newstrike Capital Inc. (TSX: V.NES, Stock Forum) and South American Silver Corp.
(TSX: T.SAC, Stock Forum)..

Haben mit dem fragwürdigen PP zu 0.50 CAD viel Vertrauen verspielt,
das müssen sie erst wieder gewinnen. Kurs lief im Vorfeld fast auf einen
CAD und dann ziehen sie dieses große PP damals zu erheblich niedrigeren
Preisen durch und verwässern den Wert massiv. Da haben sich die Insider
leider ein Eigentor geschossen, ein kleines PP zu 0.60 - 0.70 CAD hätte
für die geplanten Operationen vollständig ausgereicht.

Die Erfolge auf dem field können sich sehen lassen. Die Share Structure
ist trotz der rel. hohen Summe an ausstehenden Aktien eine Augenweide,
da mehr als 65% der shares in relativ festen Händen liegen. Bei den zahl-
reichen Institutionellen sind Sun Valley Gold, Goodman und AGF besonders
hervorzuheben, sie halten aggregiert mehr als 20 Millionen Aktien von Malbex.

Die renommierten Nachbarn in Argentinien könnten hier die entscheidende
Rolle spielen, dem erstklassigen Management ist ein großer Coup bzgl. einem
major Einstieg bzw. JV langfristig imho gut zuzutrauen.

Ich bin unter dem Strich fest von den langfristigen Erfolgen mit diesem Team
überzeugt, jedoch ist der Mining-Standort Argentinien bei vielen Investoren
nachvollziehbar nicht die erste Wahl.

AuRo Resources Closes White Gold Transaction & Commences Exploration on Key Properties

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jul 28, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- AuRo Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "AuRo") /quotes/zigman/622249 CA:ARU +3.57% (frankfurt:NXP3) is pleased to announce that its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding securities in the capital of White Gold Corporation ("White Gold") has closed. Pursuant to the terms of the amalgamation agreement, the shareholders of White Gold will receive an aggregate of 21,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed price of $0.15 per share, with 7,979,987 of these shares to be issued to the White Gold shareholders on closing. The remaining 62% of the total shares to be issued shall be released, on a pro rata basis, to the White Gold shareholders upon receiving Concession Agreements to the properties that are in the "Pending Concession" and "Lease Application" stages.

El Tesoro Project:

"Based on the geochemical analysis, and given the distinct geology in Antioquia, AuRo's Colombian
based exploration team will be immediately following up on all of these anomalous areas with an auger
drilling program. A total of 200-300 samples of the saprolite horizon will be taken to overcome the
masking effects of transported or weathered overburden. Any significant targets identified by this
program will be tested by diamond drilling. The aforementioned techniques were successfully utilized
by GeoXplore during their tenure at AngloGold Ashanti's 51% owned Gramalote project, a 2.4 million
ounce gold deposit located approximately 20kms from El Tesoro."

..

Colosa Projects:

"At Arboledas, gold has been identified in areas where active artisanal mining has been occurring.
Small-scale miners are targeting north-east striking, oxidised, subvertical veins hosted in feldspar
porphyry. Workings consist of 8 adits which are targeting oxidised quartz veins and clay structures
up to 1 metre wide.

Younger porphyries (late Cretaceous/early Tertiary) are very common in the immediate area of
mineralization and are likely associated with the mineralizing event at Angostura. Intrusives of the
same age and provenance will be the focus of exploration within the field area. This exploration will
consist of float mapping and sampling, and stream sediment sampling of drainages."

Thema Seltene Erden

Stoxx lanciert Index für Seltene Erden - 29.07.2011

Der Indexanbieter Stoxx Limited hat sein Angebot um einen Index für seltene Erden aufgestockt. Der Stoxx Global Rare Earth Index setzt sich aus Unternehmen zusammen, die mindestens 30 Prozent von ihrem Umsatz im weltweiten ‚Seltene Erden’-Sektor erwirtschaften.

Die Bedeutung von ‚seltenen Erden’ nimmt stetig zu, vor dem Hintergrund, dass diese Elemente in vielen High-Tech-Produkten wie Handys, Hard Drives und elektrische Autobatterien zum Einsatz kommen.
Der Stoxx Rare Earth Index wurde zum einen als Underlyig-Ausgangsbasis für ETFs und andere Investmentprodukte konzipiert. Zudem soll er auch ein Hilfsmittel bieten, mit dem sich die Performance von globalen Aktien-Portfolios messen lässt.

„Die Nachfrage nach seltene Erden metallen steigt exponentiell an, weil sie in einer großen Palette von modernen Technologien eingesetzt werden, von iPods bis zu Hybrid Autos, Windturbinen und Batterien“, so Hartmut Graf, CEO von Stoxx Limited. „Mit der Lancierung des Stoxx Global Rare Earth Index, bieten wir Marktteilnehmern ein innovatives, transparentes und vollständig Regel-basiertes Mittel, um sich an der Performance von Unternehmen zu beteiligen, die sich in diesem rapide wachsenden Sektor engagieren“, so Graf weiter. Exempel für Titel-Kandidaten sind beispielsweise Unternehmen, die seltene Erden-Metalle fördern, extrahieren, transportieren oder in irgendeiner anderen Weise mit ihnen in Berührung kommen.

Hintergrundinfos zu Seltene Erden-Metalle

Seltene Erden-Metalle (Rare earth metals) sind Teil einer Gruppe von 17 chemisch ähnlichen Elementen die sich in der Erdkruste befinden. Namentlich sind dies: Scandium, Yttrium, Lanthanum, Lutetium, Ytterbium, Thulium, Erbium, Holmium, Dysprosium, Terbium, Gadolinium, Europium, Samarium, Promethium, Neodymium, Praseodymium und Cerium.

Anders als ihr Name vermuten lässt, kommen Seltene Erden-Metalle häufiger vor als Gold, Platin oder Blei. Der Ausdruck ‚rar’ leitet sich von dem Umstand ab, dass diese Metalle selten in einer hohen Konzentration an einer einzelnen Stelle auftreten und aktuell hauptsächlich in China abgebaut werden. Die Metalle werden nahezu exklusiv in Verbindung mit anderen Mineralien oder Metallen gefunden, da sie oftmals als ein Nebenprodukt im Minensektor oder von anderen Rohmaterialien extrahiert werden.

Aufnahmekriterien für Index-Titel

Um in dem Stoxx Global Rare Earth Index zu landen, müssen die einzelnen Titel – neben der oben erwähnten vorgeschriebenen Umsatzkennziffer – auch ein paar weitere Auflagen erfüllen. So muss das tägliche Handelsvolumen im Durchschnitt bei mindestens einer Million US-Dollar liegen.

Aktuell befinden sich 14 Titel im Portfolio. Dieses wird im 3-Monats Turnus re-balanciert, im März und September eines jeden Jahres findet zudem eine weitere Überprüfung der Titel statt. Der neue Index ist in einer Euro und Dollar-Variante erhältlich, zudem gibt es ihn als „price, gross und net return’-Versionen. Die historischen Daten reichen bis zum 19. Juni 2009 zurück. (ir)

Gold und Silber stehen noch immer nur am Beginn einer Megarally!

Jul 30 2011

Als wir Anfang März die beiden Kommentare "Edelmetalle vor Megarally - Silber (Teil 1)" vom 03.03. und "Edelmetalle vor Megarally - Der Goldboom geht weiter! (Teil 2)" vom 05.03.2011 veröffentlichten, mag sich so manch ein Leser an die Stirn getippt haben. Goldpreise von bis 1.600 US-Dollar noch in der ersten Jahreshälfte? Und Silber soll deutlich über 40 US-Dollar gehen? Nun ja, die jüngste Vergangenheit hat uns gelehrt, dass wir mit den damals getroffenen Prognosen gar nicht so falsch lagen, unserem eigens für die Edelmetalle entwickelten Bewertungsmodell (weitere Informationen hierzu finden interessierte Leser auf EdelmetallJournal.de) sei Dank.

Aktuell notiert Gold bei ca. 1.620 US-Dollar und Silber bei ca. 40 US-Dollar. Mit Spannung blickt die Welt in Richtung USA, wo es eine politische Posse sondergleichen zu beobachten gibt. Demokraten und Republikaner streiten sich wie die Kesselflicker über die Anhebung der Schuldenobergrenze. Doch das Thema Schuldenobergrenze ist hierbei nur eine Baustelle... Es geht ganz schlichtweg um politische Machtkämpfe und um alte, noch immer nicht beglichene Rechnungen zwischen den Lagern. Wie es scheint, ist man zur Durchsetzung seiner Interessen sogar bereit, eine ganze Nation über die Klinge springen zu lassen.

Was wirklich passieren würde, wenn es zu keiner Einigung bis zum 02.08. käme, ist nur schwer abzuschätzen. Wir gehen eher davon aus, dass es doch noch zu einer Arrangement in letzter Minute kommen wird. Wie diese nun letztendlich aussehen und welches Lager sich hier durchsetzen wird, ist ebenfalls unklar. Aber egal, ob die Schuldenobergrenze gleich weitreichend angehoben wird oder nur scheibchenweise, es wird auf lange Sicht wenig ändern. Allein die Tatsache, dass die USA derzeit kaum in der Lage sind, die Verschuldungsproblematik aus eigener Kraft in den Griff zu bekommen, ist mehr als bedenklich. Eine recht schwaches wirtschaftliches Wachstum, das zurückhaltende Konsumverhalten, der fragile Immobilienmarkt und der nach wie vor problematische Arbeitsmarkt zeugen von fehlender Kraft, sich selbst aus dieser Krise zu ziehen. So wird man am Ende allenfalls wieder etwas Zeit gewinnen können. Doch, was nutzt das, so lange keine Lösungen für das Problem herbeigeführt werden (können)? Ähnlich sieht es ja in der Euro-Zone aus, wo man ebenfalls nur Zeit gewinnen konnte...

Wenn uns die Ereignisse in den letzten Wochen eines gelehrt haben, dann auch das, dass in diesen Zeiten kein Weg an Gold und Silber vorbeiführt. Beide Metalle sehen wir unverändert vor nachhaltigen Aufwärtsbewegungen stehen.

Und wie sieht es mit den Produzentenaktien aus? Nach den Monaten der Lethargie, von der besonders Goldaktien ergriffen waren, kommt nun wieder Bewegung ins Ganze. Sowohl Gold-, als auch Silberaktien sprangen zuletzt an. Jetzt gilt es, auf die richtigen Favoriten zu setzen. Wir hatten unseren Lesern im kürzlich veröffentlichten Themenreport "Gold- und Silberaktien" (unter RohstoffJournal.de abrufbar) bereits den einen oder anderen durchaus interessanten Wert vorgestellt.

Nutzen Sie die Chancen, die sich Ihnen bieten! Mittel- und langfristig werden wir uns sehr wahrscheinlich über ganz andere, viel höhere Preisniveaus unterhalten (müssen); sowohl bei Gold und Silber, als auch bei Gold- und Silberaktien.

Buzz around gold is growing louder

8/1/2011 8:50:57 AM | Jeff Clark, Casey Research

Growing numbers of analysts have either joined the movement or have upped their
bullish outlook.

I outlined last week the increasingly bullish consensus among analysts about gold stocks.
The same pattern exists with gold itself; growing numbers of analysts have either joined the
movement or have upped their bullish outlook.

The following comments and developments have all been reported just this month. It presents
quite a convincing case when one strings them together like this. Keep in mind that this is what
these analysts and managers are telling their clients.

SICA Wealth Management’s Jeffrey Sica: “Right now, I think gold looks better than ever.”
He sees a “painfully high probability” of troubling events occurring in the months ahead.
“There has been a general loss of confidence in the ability of central banks and governments
to manage the economy. That will continue to give gold and other precious metals a boost.”

Empire Economics chief economist Clifford Bennett expects gold to come close to $2,000 an
ounce this year and $2,200 an ounce within 18 months. “There is risk in the second half of the
year of a bit of a ‘panic spike,’ if you like, as everyone thinks there isn’t enough to go around
and starts to hoard. That’s when you’ll really see gold take off towards $2,000 an ounce.”

Franco-Nevada Chairman Pierre Lassonde said the coming mania in gold will make the 1970s run
look like child’s play. “In 1980, the only players, or the dominant players, were the Americans.
Today the dominant players are China and India; 58% of all the gold sold this year will be sold
in these two countries. When we reach that mania phase… watch out, because it will truly make
your head spin.”

Antaike analyst Shi Heqing had this to say about Chinese investors: “Record high prices won’t
scare away investors… they are likely to chase the rally and continue to buy gold because paper
money feels increasingly worthless and they are worried about inflation.” Shi expects China’s
gold demand to rise about 20%, due in no small part to the country’s 6.4% inflation rate.

Reuters: “The case for gold in the longer term is still very strong,” said a Singapore-based
trader. “Gold may appeal to new classes of investors who previously avoided the market in favor
of more mainstream investments like bank deposits, bonds, and equities. Potentially there’s a
whole new market for small-sized gold bars if these investors lose faith in paper.”

Newedge USA predicted gold will hit $1,800 and silver $70 by year-end due to investors seeking
a haven asset and physical demand from Asia. “Gold is an excellent hedge in troubled times”
said Mike Frawley. “Demand will be very strong long-term from Asia, and the economic trend
in the West is improving.”

FX Concepts founder John Taylor: “Gold will climb to $1,900 by October.”

SMC Global: “Evidence of sluggish U.S. growth has shaken investor confidence. Concerns about
rising inflation here have also boosted appetite for gold ETFs. Demand is high from small
players.”

Minerals and Metals Trading Corp’s Ved Kumar Prakash reported “skyrocketing” demand for gold
in India. He predicted that given the company’s brisk sales, gold imports would jump by more
than 40% this fiscal year.

The Swiss Parliament is expected later this year to discuss the creation of a gold franc. “I want
Swiss people to have the freedom to choose a completely different currency,” said Thomas
Jacob, the man behind the gold franc concept. “Today’s monetary system is all backed by debt
– all backed by nothing – and I want people to realize this.”

An “Iranian gold rush” is under way, according to an article by Reuters. “Usually as the price of
an item increases, demand will decrease – but in the case of gold, it seems that higher prices
are creating more demand,” said an unnamed Tehran gold retailer. “The reasons that people
are drawn to these safe assets – gold coins and hard currency – are firstly a limited choice of
investment opportunities, and secondly a fear from the weakness of the national currency,” said
an economist who asked not to be named.

The Utah Legal Tender Act was signed into law by Governor Herbert last month. “Good monetary
policy is an important part of a healthy and prosperous economy,” said Senator Mike Lee. He
and other Republicans also introduced legislation to eliminate federal capital gains taxes on gold
and silver coins. “Since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the dollar has lost approximately 98%
of its value. This bill is an important step towards a stable and sound currency whose value is
protected from the Fed’s printing press.”

CIBC World Markets’ Peter Buchanan remains bullish even if the debt ceiling talks resolve.
“Even in the likely event Congress agrees to a debt ceiling rise, recent uncertainties are likely
to reinforce central banks’ ongoing efforts to diversify from the dollar into gold and other assets.”

Citigroup Global Markets reported that silver may more than double to $100 an ounce if the
current bull market follows similar patterns seen between 1971 and 1980. “If the final rally in
the last bull market repeated, then we can expect $100 over the long term… While the high so
far this year was at the same level as the peak in January 1980, we are not convinced that the
long-term trend is over yet.”

Gold Forecaster analyst Julian Phillips: “This is not typical of a ‘bull’ market that will eventually
fall back from whence it came. We believe gold is not in a ‘bull’ market, because it is changing
its shape and nature permanently. Our reasoning is not academic posturing, but a reflection of
the realities that have taken place over time and those that confront us now. Because it is
perceived to be an alternative wealth-preserving asset, a counter to a failing monetary system,
it is not a simple commodity moving up and down with the flows and ebbs of economic cycles;
it is a valid measure of monetary values.”

American Precious Metals Advisors Managing Director Jeffrey Nichols: “A recent survey of
80 central bank reserve managers predicted that the most significant change in their official
reserve holdings in the next 10 years will be their intentional build up in gold reserves. They also
predicted that gold will be their best performing asset class over the next year, and sovereign
debt defaults will be their principal risk.”

Gloom Boom and Doom editor Marc Faber: “I just calculated that if we take an average gold price
of say around $350 in the 1980s and compare that to the average monetary base and the
average U.S. government debt in the 1980s...and then if I compare this to the price of gold to
today’s government debts and monetary base, gold hasn’t gone up at all. It’s actually gone
against these monetary aggregates, and against debt it’s actually gone down. So I could make
the case that gold is today probably very inexpensive.”

GoldMoney founder James Turk: “In reality there are very few participants currently in the gold
market… when I look at the price action, it suggests to me that a lot of this big money on the
sidelines wants to be in. Therefore we are seeing some aggressive bidding on any pullbacks.”

Reuters Money reports that eBay’s “gold and silver outpost” has seen gold bullion sales jump
more than 60% from 2007 through 2010. More significantly, “almost half of the silver and gold
buyers in the first quarter of 2011 never purchased these items on eBay before.”

Sprott Asset Management chief investment strategist John Embry: “I think it will be really exciting
when silver clears $50, because then it will be in absolutely new ground. There is, without
question, major physical shortages of physical silver, and demand is robust. Once silver gets
rolling, it’s going to levels people cannot imagine.”

It’s hard to go one day without seeing comments like these. The chorus is growing, and as these
bullish views spread further and further into the mainstream, the number of investors attracted
to precious metals will swell and continue to drive prices higher.

Is this growing consensus the sign of a top? As I said about gold stocks, taking the contrarian
view in response to this information would be the wrong move. Fiscal and monetary issues are
getting worse, not better, and I think we’re simply seeing more investors recognize the
inevitable. We’ll worry about exiting this sector when real interest rates are positive and the
dollar is once again a revered currency. Until then, it’s hard to imagine a scenario that isn’t
bullish for gold. Any pullback should thus be viewed as a sale price.

Is the impetus for a mania building? I don’t know if we’re on the doorstep of that phase or not,
but the fundamental reasons to hold gold are as strong as they’ve ever been. Indeed, it’s
getting more critical to have meaningful exposure to precious metals. Keep in mind that when
the debt ceiling talks reach a resolution – whatever it may be – the fundamental problems of
excessive debt and further deficits will still be unresolved.

Will gold correct if agreements are reached on the debt talks? Probably, but I think the more
appropriate question to ask is this: If these analysts are correct, do I own enough ounces?

Avion Gold Djambaye II Zone, Tabakoto Project, Mali, Returns High Grade Intercepts of 7.56 g/t Au Over 7.0 Metres and 26.39 g/t Au Over 3.0 Metres

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 2, 2011) - Avion Gold Corporation (TSX:AVR)(OTCQX:AVGCF) ("Avion" or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the results from an additional 72 drill holes totaling approximately 6,467 metres completed over a 3.2 kilometre section of the Djambaye II zone 2011. Drilling continued to test the Djambaye II zone both along strike and to a maximum depth of 100 metres. The Djambaye II zone remains open along strike and to depth. Management expects that these new drill intersections will result in both the upgrading of inferred open pit mineral resources to measured and indicated mineral resources and to add to the currently defined inferred mineral resources. An additional 163 holes totaling 16,750 metres are planned in the Djambaye II area. The opportunity exists to more than double the open pit reserves in and near the Djambaye II zone through additional drilling.

Current Djambaye II open pit probable reserves total 707,000 tonnes grading 3.65 g/t Au totaling 83,100 ounces (Avion news release July 5, 2010). Open pit inferred mineral resources total 1,595,000 tonnes grading 3.30 g/t Au totaling 169,200 ounces and underground inferred mineral resources total 950,000 tonnes grading 3.43 g/t Au totaling 104,700 ounces. A review of the model open pit reserves indicates that the current open pit model can be improved through additional drilling as in almost all cases the modeled pit depths were defined, not by a lack of mineralization, but by insufficient drilling to define measured and indicated resources.

Significant results include the following:

7.56 g/t Au over 7.0 metres
7.45 g/t Au over 5.0 metres
13.92 g/t Au over 2.0 metres
4.96 g/t Au over 5.0 metres
10.69 g/t Au over 3.0 metres
5.76 g/t Au over 5.0 metres
83.96 g/t Au over 1.0 metre
6.47 g/t Au over 5.0 metres
26.39 g/t Au over 3.0 metres
6.11 g/t Au over 8.0 metres

During 2011, Avion completed 106 reverse circulation drill holes into and proximal to the Djambaye II zone. On April 5, 2011 Avion released the results for the first 34 in-fill holes into the Djambaye II zone. This new release indicated that the gold grades, in the central core of the Djambaye II zone were, on average, higher than the rest of the deposit. Avion's current reserve statement incorporates drill data for the initial 46 of the 106 holes drilled into the Djambaye II zone in 2011. Avion plans to update the resources at Djambaye II in Q1, 2012 after the completion of most of the 163 hole drill program mentioned above. This update is expected, in management's opinion, to add to increase the currently defined measured and indicated mineral resources which can then be subjected to open pit modeling and the definition of reserves.

The Djambaye II zone has been traced for approximately 3,100 metres along strike and is still open to the north, south and to depth. A summary of the drill intercepts are presented in the attached tables.

Don Dudek, Avion's Senior Vice President, Exploration stated: "The Djambaye II zone is unique in the Tabakoto project area in that it represents the longest continually mineralized structure on the property. In addition, consistent with other deposits on the Tabakoto Property, we are starting recognize cross-structures which locally enhance the grade of the zone and provide an opportunity for more gold mineralization within the current pit limits and a likely extension of the current defined open pits."

The northern end of the Djambaye II zone is located approximately nine kilometres southwest of the Tabakoto mine site. Open pit permitting work is in progress. Pre-stripping, in preparation for mining, is planned to commence over this zone in Q4, 2011.

Avion's procedures for handling reverse circulation drill chips comprise initial splitting of the rock chips from one metre drill length samples into 2.0 kilogram samples, as well as description and logging into a database. Theses samples were delivered to the Company's mine site laboratory at Tabakoto. Assay standard samples are inserted every 25th sample and duplicate reverse circulation from every 20th sample are sent in as a separate sample to double check the assays from these intervals. This sampling procedure was initiated and periodically reviewed by Avion's Senior Vice President of Exploration, Don Dudek, P. Geo. The assay samples are then crushed to 3 millimetres with a riffle split if required, to 1.5 kilograms, the entire sample milled in a LM2 mill to a nominal 95% passing 75&#956;m. All the preparation equipment is flushed with barren material prior to the commencement of the job and all sample bowls are scrapped clean with a scratch pad. Gold values were determined by Fire Assay and AAS with a 50 gram nominal sample weight. In order to ensure that local, exceptionally high grade assays are not overly represented in assay composites, Avion is also presenting assay composites, with high grade samples capped at 30.0 g/t Au for the Djambaye II zone. High grade samples are also subject to up to four repeat assays, of which, an average of the group is used in interval calculations.

Avion's results from the on-site laboratory have been of consistent high quality, with assay standards returning values well within accepted ranges.

Avion's 2011 approximately 75,000 metre drill focused exploration program is well underway with 296 core and reverse circulation ('RC') holes totaling approximately 42,500 metres of drilling completed. Drilling completed to date is split evenly between Avion's Tabakoto (Mali), Kofi (Mali) and Houndé (Burkina Faso) properties with a core and an RC drill rig active on the Kofi property and two core rigs active on the Houndé property. Two additional core drill rigs have been requested for the Tabakoto property.

Don Dudek, P.Geo., the Senior Vice President, Exploration of the Company and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release.

About Avion Gold Corporation

Avion is a Canadian-based gold mining company focused in West Africa that holds 80% of the Tabakoto and Ségala gold projects in Mali. Gold production commenced at these projects in 2009 with approximately 51,290 ounces produced. 2010 production was 87,630 ounces of gold. Production sustainability will continue to be supported and enhanced by an aggressive 2011 drill program over an approximately 600 km2 exploration package that both surrounds and is near to the Company's existing mine infrastructure. The current mineral resources estimate for the Tabakoto project demonstrates several sources of excellent grade open pit and good grade underground mineral resources thus providing significant flexibility for Avion's future mining plans. Additionally, the 1,670 km2 Houndé exploration property in Burkina Faso continues to return promising results. These properties are subject to a preliminary US$ 10 million dollar, approximate 60,000 metre, drill-focused, exploration program in 2011. Avion continues to progress towards its medium term goal of 200,000 ounces of gold per year and a longer term goal of organic growth through development of its exploration properties. The Company is developing an underground mine at the Tabakoto deposit, and is preparing to mine underground at the Ségala deposit. Avion has a highly skilled management team, with a focus on growth and consolidation within West Africa.
