http://www.marketwire.com/press-rel...and-year-end-2012-results-tsx-agi-1759467.htm
Cashbestand bei 354 Mio $ per 31.12.2012
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2013) - Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI)(NYSE:AGI) ("Alamos" or the "Company") today reported its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012 and reviewed its operating, exploration and development activities. All amounts are expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise specified.
"In 2012, Alamos achieved the best performance for any year in its history and, in the final three months, posted record results for any quarter. We established a new benchmark by producing 200,000 ounces of gold in 2012 (including 67,800 ounces in the fourth quarter) at a cash operating cost of $355 per ounce, which is at industry-leading low levels. On a quarterly and annual basis, we set records in terms of earnings, earnings per share, operating cash flow, and other key metrics. Moreover, the Company's performance reflects our ongoing success in achieving outstanding organic growth," said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"In Turkey, we remain on schedule with respect to the permitting of our late-stage development projects. We anticipate responses from the Turkish Government on our Environmental Impact Assessment submissions for Kirazli and Ağı Dağı by the end of the first and second quarters of 2013, respectively, and we expect our outstanding cash flow and balance sheet will enable us to self-finance the construction of these mines," Mr. McCluskey commented.

Bei Gold liegt in Höhe ca. 1.525 $ die maßgebliche Unterstützung ... im Bereich von 1.525 $ werden sich Bullen und Bären ordentlich "kloppen" ... unter 1.525 $ dürften viele Absicherungen liegen ... Bis 1.525 $ bleibe ich übergeordnet bullisch, unter 1.525 $ würde ich auf "keine Meinung" wechseln, weil der Bruch der 1.525er Marke eine großere Trendwende nach unten einleiten kann oder aber nur eine finale Marktbereinigung, um dann wieder nach oben zu schnappen ...

U.S. Dollar strength likely to gain momentum
Fed could scale back its stimulus
Minutes from the Federal Reserve's January meeting released yesterday suggests that the Fed’s $85 billion a month bond buying purchase program may be at risk as several Fed member expressed concerns over the effects of ultra loose monetary policies. Some policymakers advocated to taper off or even prematurely end the central bank's quantitative-easing program prior to attainment of its announced goal of pick-up in labor market. Few officials also proposed to vary the size of asset-purchases every meeting depending on effectiveness of the program and the outlook of the economy. The FOMC minutes said it will review and consider major changes to Fed's bond-buying program at their two-day meeting in March and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will hold a press conference at the end of meeting on March 20.
Economic data from the U.S.
In the economic news, the U.S. housing data released on Wednesday were mixed. The U.S. Department of Commerce reported that building permits, a sign of future demand, rose by 1.8% in January from the revised December rate of 909,000 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 925,000, which was the highest rate since June 2008. The government also reported housing starts for January, construction of new homes, fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 890,000, 8.5% below the revised December estimate of 973,000.
Investors now await fresh economic data from the U.S., scheduled for release today. Key economic data to watch out from the U.S. on Thursday includes:
Weekly unemployment claims that are expected to rise to 353,000.
Consumer price index is expected to rise a bit to 0.1% for the month of January.
Also watch out for the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's Business Outlook Survey and Markit Flash Manufacturing PMI, scheduled for release today, for signs of stabilizing U.S. manufacturing sector. The Philly Fed Manufacturing Index is expected to rebound to 1.1 in February from negative 5.8 in January and the Markit manufacturing PMI is expected to show slightly slower growth and is seen edging lower to 55.6 in February.
Continuing with data from U.S. housing sector, existing home sales are expected to ease slightly in January to 4.89 million compared to 4.94 million rate in December.
At the same time, the Conference Board is scheduled to release its index of U.S. leading economic indicators. Following a gain of 0.5% in December, Economists are expecting a gain of 0.2% in January.
Euro-zone downturn steepening in February: PMI signals
On Thursday, investors turned their attention back towards Europe with the Markit Flash (preliminary) Euro-zone Purchasing Managers' Index or PMI readings signaled steepening downturn for the region in February. The Markit preliminary Euro-zone PMI Composite Output Index for February slumped to a two-month low of 47.3 from 48.6 in January. Economists had forecast a reading of 48.4 for February.
On Wednesday, Dollar index posted its biggest one-day gain in seven months following the release of FOMC minutes.
On Thursday, Euro tumbled below 1.32 against U.S. Dollar after Euro-zone PMI came in weaker-than-expected.
Investors now look for U.S. economic data for clear signs of economic recovery.
A better-than-expected U.S. economic data would prompt U.S. Dollar strength to gain further momentum.

Sabina Gold & Silver Reports Updated Resource Estimate for the Back River Gold Project, Nunavut
Remodelling of all deposits results in increased grade, confidence and 13% more ounces
Successful conversion of Inferred resources to Measured & Indicated categories
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 21, 2013) - Sabina Gold & Silver Corp (TSX:SBB) is pleased to announce a new Mineral Resource estimate for its 100% owned Back River Project in Nunavut, Canada.
The updated Mineral Resource for Back River was undertaken by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. ("AMC") as part of the ongoing Pre-feasibility study ("PFS") for Back River. This new estimate consists of a Measured Mineral Resource of 2.168 million tonnes grading 4.4 g/t for a contained 304,000 ounces Au, an Indicated Mineral Resource of 22.028 million tonnes grading 6.1 g/t for a contained 4,352,000 ounces Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 7.665 million tonnes grading 7.8 g/t for a contained 1,920,000 ounces Au. Remodelling from first principles was conducted on all deposits and in combination with 2012 drilling, has increased the estimate at Back River by approximately 740,000 ounces Au (or 13%) in all categories.
"We are very happy with our updated resource estimate," said Rob Pease, President & CEO "The new resources have increased overall as has our confidence and understanding of the deposits. Most importantly, we are extremely pleased that after a rigorous remodelling, the overall grade on the project has actually increased. This new resource estimate has utilized more conservative assumptions and we are satisfied at how the deposits are developing. We look forward to having this resource form the basis of our ongoing PFS."
Prior estimates for Back River were completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. for Umwelt and George, including drill data up to December 2011 and by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. for Llama and Goose Main using data up to December 2010 and July 2011 respectively. AMC remodelled and estimated all deposits using drill data up to December 31, 2012. Approximately 76,000 metres of drilling was completed in 2012, providing a significant amount of new information to incorporate into these new estimates. More conservative and uniform cut off grades were utilized, as well as tighter optimized pit shells at $1500/ oz gold in which to constrain the open-pit resources in order to reflect the current cost environment.
