The precious things in Peru: the search for gold
Peru is a very interesting country because it was coined by the conquerors introduced in modern times by the Japanese (including DNA famous Japanese chef Peru) and can fall into the orbit of mainland China. Peru, as many countries in Latin America, may indeed be considered a colony of natural resources for countries emerging Asian power houses.
According to an employee of an NGO with headquarters in Costa Rica, "The United States lost power during the day and no longer able to keep China on America Central and South America, Russia or elsewhere. "
Following these old geopolitical changes, the astute observers of America Latin may wonder what is happening in Peru? According to Linda Dixon, an American businessman of gold is now based in Peru, South American occupies an important place in both silver and gold. Companies may or may not eligible for membership in an environmentally sound mining is the evaluation of market risk in respect of the investment capital, loans and the rate of return. There are many possibilities for small and medium scale investors.
The lack of strong English-language coverage of the precious metals industry in Latin America, Dixon says, makes the process of evaluating all less than perfect. Fifty percent of returns are possible in the small mining concession in Peru. This is something that the U.S. and Western investors that they can consider for your portfolio.
U.S. investment 50 million of $ 60,000 could be considered conservative, as a kind of micro-loans to steroids. Dixon has found that some 15 million artisanal gold miners are digging for gold at this time to the four corners of the Earth.
Once again we must ask ourselves: "Why all these stories about the gold? "Almost everything in America that can be monetized (for AIG and the debt of major banks to stay home to the maternal care) has already been monetized. After computing and real estate bubbles burst, there no new sources of wealth creation. The United States has been systematically de-industrialized. In times of falling and fear reigns supreme gold.
gold mining in Peru offers low operating costs and no shortage of buyers (in Latin America North America the West and the world.) On-line, vertically integrated real-time data mining of gold supply, colored, the sale, acquisition, and personal and work nearby. Analyze and benefit from the extraction, refining and sale of gold directly buyers at a premium "to point" is the agenda for entrepreneurs like Dixon.
In depth in Latin America
Certainly, there is a great hunger for gold in the world – but listen to and where you go through the process of "liberation of gold" of the earth? With online data become available, to Z and every stop process gold in the road will be as easy as reading the scoreboard in Major League Baseball to your laptop during the Fourth of July. And make no mistake – America America, particularly Peru, Argentina and Chile, will part of the gold rush of the 21st century. There are more mineral exploration expenditures in Latin America than anywhere else in the world. One every four dollars in mineral exploration in our days are spent ameirca America.
According to Ceri Jones, mining Manic America United States, "In Argentina, for example, 75% of the mining area has not yet been explored. Barrick Gold Pascua Lama Co., located on the border between Argentina and Chile at an altitude of 15,000 feet inducers pants. Barrick, the third largest gold producer in importance, had planned to move the glaciers get the gold medal here, but the project has been delayed by disputes with the local community in Huasco Valley, who fear that the open pit of solid gold, which should enter the water supply operational in 2009, and their fields contaminate depleted. echo section of Dixon Jones worries about the sustainability of mining practices and environmental sustainability half.
As for the future of mining in Peru, Article Jones added: "BHP Billiton of Australia has had to work difficult to reach an agreement with residents about their inherited Tintaya mine in southern Peru. Many of the miners working in the region are companies International Barrick, Falconbridge, Newmont, BHP Billiton and Phelps Dodge. Barrick, which operates 14 mines, including projects in Peru, Chile, Argentina and Tanzania, is remarkable because last year produced nearly 5.5 million ounces of gold at a cash cost of only $ 227 per ounce, the cost lowest of all major manufacturers.
"For a pure play Peru, Antamina is the largest producer of zinc in the country and the second largest copper and molybdenum. The company increased its production by 20% last year. Southern Copper Corporation is a producer of copper, molybdenum, zinc and silver located Peru and Mexico. Quoted in New York, the company acquired Minera Mexico last year and now has a series of transactions, including complexes Toquepala and Cuajone mine in Peru, and the two opencast Groundwater in Mexico that produce zinc, lead, copper, silver, gold and coal.
"One of the most admired Peruvian mining is Buenaventura, a specialist in precious metals with a participation of Minera Yanacocha. City in Lima and New York, Buenaventura has two more gold mines underground mine and the fourth largest silver, and reputation information geological better Peru.
"For example, Antamina in Peru employs 1,400 workers and is an important well-paying jobs in the country, particularly in Ancash. In five years, income per capita is expected to double in the region. In fact, Peru's economy grew at its slowest pace two years in April, fish meal, natural gas and manufacturing output has declined, leaving the economy is driven only for its exports 10 billion mining and 1.5 billion dollars in sales of natural gas.
Jones hails Invesco is a "perpetual American Fund of the United States, directed by Dean Newman has worked well, up 36.6% in the year and 194.5% in three years against the sector up 17.8% and 62.1% respectively. Other trust funds of expertise include Scottish Widows Latin America, Threadneedle Latin America funds that have done so much in 35.5% YoY and 163% in three years, although the latter has a higher minimum investment £ 2,000. The bottom of UBS Global Emerging Markets is about 18% in Latin America AXA Funds and Emerging Markets and the First State Global Emerging Markets have both approximately 16% in the region. "
An Ancient Quest for Gold
During the days of ancient Rome, an army general and chief of fire department has been called a value of nearly U.S. $ 170 000 000 000 Crassus in the newspaper today called world. (According to the Forbes list.) Crassus in trying to imitate Alexander the Great conquered India, took his legions expeditionary Turkey. I do not expect to fight and win the Parthians and the capture of Mesopotamia and Persia. Crassus ignored the advice of his advisers, even if it is invaded by Armenia and saw his son murdered. Crassus had melted liquid gold poured into the throat and was beheaded. His head was used in a piece for those who killed.
Today, the dictionary of modern English word contains "sensitive" as a reminder for those whose thirst for gold and can be as insatiable as Crassus was. This decline can not be lost on readers in tune with the de facto paradigm of post-American world of financial capitalism leading oligarch. Facing the enigma driven by exotic financial instruments such as derivatives and securitized subprime said, the Federal Reserve gave a monopoly of money from nothing and bought / rescued buddies on Wall Street through the revolving door his "good old boy" network.
Meanwhile ordinary Americans are forced to watch helplessly as the manufacture of the United States, outsourcing, 20 million illegal immigrants, legal immigrant visas and other processes destroy the economy have combined to create a "perfect storm" of economic Apocalypse we find ourselves in.
Inflation and the threat of inflation, devaluation massive dollar and U.S. efforts to revive the economy will be one of the factors affecting the price of gold for the rest of the year 2009. The fraudulent actions of market regulation to wear prison orange pants, low rate of return on U.S. Treasury bonds, billions of dollars of unpayable debt and cronyism does not inspire confidence in the average American mentality.
Therefore, search for gold continue to rise despite treatment of inside information at the price of gold, as organized by banks power – not only have the monopoly on the creation of paper money, but the military violence that money paid by modern armies, conquering Crassus blush.
The fight against implosion of paper and digital money is the fact that only 160,000 tons of gold have been exploited + throughout human history. As such, a gold weighing 28 pounds worth U.S. $ 333,000 +. At 1000 per ounce and rising, as they say gold is still "money in the bank."
The question remains, where does it lead the world in terms of price and demand for gold? Why the obsession of this metal? A few years ago, the renowned economist Milton Friedman criticized the idea of improving humanity as something that digs into the ground. There are a lot of gold in the world to start. What can really do with it beyond jewelry and teeth? The answer – abundance.
The people of Burma wearing gold medals around his neck like a strong currency 401 K. Gold sales increased, while the dollar declined, Brazil won the right to host the Summer Olympics, a gold dinar could be back in the pipeline and a basket of currencies could be replaced on the U.S. dollar as a major global reserve currency. Digital gold, the gold mines gold stocks, and the world gold mining in Latin America and the demand for gold in India (which consumes more than 770 tonnes of gold in 2007) and China (360 + tons in 2007) are the key issues merit close monitoring.
The world's thirst for gold is sure to continue. As the writer Siddharth Pani, "Most central banks, including India have maintained their gold reserves as a hedge against any financial crisis. In 1991, the government at the time of Narshima Rao had taken loans for gold India overcome the financial crisis, which eventually led to the opening of Indian economy. Unless the new gold mines in the next few years or several major central banks sell gold, gold will be the rarity. In addition, the cost of mining gold is rising.
"In this he is currently a small surplus, so Gold supply and demand and concerns. This situation could change rapidly, as investors increasingly diversify into gold, especially in developed countries where the penetration of gold as an investment option remains low. countries, demand for jewelry such as India and China should increase in coming years. demand pressures continue to increase until stocks are exhausted gold mine is expected to remain stable. It is interesting to note here that takes at least several years in a mine recently discovered to be fully operational. Even if new mines are discovered new But supplies will have time to materialize. "

In 2006, Peru held a leading position in world production of mineral products as follows: arsenic trioxide (quarter after China, Chile and Morocco), bismuth (third behind China and Mexico), copper (third after Chile and the United States), gold (fifth after South Africa, Australia, USA and China), lead (fourth after China, Australia and the United States), molybdenum (fourth behind the United States, China and Chile) rhenium (fourth after India, Kazakhstan and the United States), money (first, followed by Mexico and China), tin (third behind China and Indonesia) and zinc (third behind China and Australia).
In Latin America, Peru was the leading producer of rank, by value, gold, zinc, silver, lead, tin and tellurium and the second largest producer of copper and molybdenum (after Chile) and bismuth (after Mexico).
In 2006, the economy Peru has benefited from high commodity prices. To date, the government privatized 220 enterprises owned by through joint ventures and consortia mining and fuel. The firms generated $ 9.2 billion, with an additional flow of commitments capital of approximately $ 11,400,000,000, representing 17% and 21% of the GDP of Peru, respectively. Privatizations and concessions generated an investment committed $ 6.9 billion (2006-2010) by mining companies such as Peru Copper Inc. Toromocho copper project (2.5 billion dollars), Xstrata plc. Las Bambas (1 billion), Phelps Dodge Corp. for the expansion of the copper mine Cerro Verde (850 million dollars), Monterrico Metals Inc. White River base metals project (800 million), Rio Tinto Limited for the mining project, La Granja (700 million), Southern Copper Corporation for the expansion of the smelter at Ilo ($ 400,000,000), Cerro Corona Goldfields Ltd for the proposed copper-gold (350 million dollars) and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce for Bayovar Phosphate Project (300 million dollars). The Ministry of Energy and Mines has indicated that the investments made in 2006, Peru has received $ 1 billion for gas and 200 million dollars for oil.
Petroleos del Peru (Petroperu SA) was created July 24, 1969 (Law No.17753) as an entity belonging to the State devoted to sequential transportation, refining and marketing of refined products oil and other derivatives. The Congress of Peru June 2, 2004 (Law No.28244) SA Petroperu excluded from the privatization process and has authorized their participation in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Agency National Perupetro SA was created November 18, 1993 (Act No. 26,221) which is responsible for promoting investment in exploration and production hydrocarbons in the country. Perupetro negotiates, signs and manages contracts for oil, for which Petroperu compete with private companies. In 2006, invested Petroperu 4.5 billion dollars in the hydrocarbon sector.
Production
In 2006, the value of minerals Peru (metals, minerals industrial and fuel) production amounted to 6.5 billion, compared to $ 5.1 billion in 2005. Mining and production fuel increased by 8.1% due to higher values of metals (7%) and fuel outlet (23%). The increase in mineral products (content) has been led primarily by natural gas (77%), molybdenum (22%), gold (20%), crude oil (18%) and iron (8%), and to a lesser extent, silver and lead (4%) compared to 2005 products. In 2006, metals prices have also been trained up due to increased consumption associated with increased overall economic activity, as in China, USA and other countries.
growth of metal production was mainly driven by increased copper, iron, silver and lead, which offset the decrease production of gold, molybdenum and zinc. Production of oil has also increased due to higher gas extraction Camisea natural and Aguaytia. Oil production should increase as a result of oil exploration and production 16 new contracts signed in 2006.
Ore Trade
Peru's mining industry, which has always been the country with the largest generator of foreign exchange since 1997, accounted nearly 61.8% ($ 14.7 billion) of total export earnings of U.S. dollars more than 23.8 billion dollars in 2006, compared to 56.3% (9.8 billion) of total export revenues of approximately U.S. $ 17.4 billion in 2005.

In 2006, mining was the main export sector of the country. The price increases for zinc (136.5%) copper (82.6%) and gold (36%) played a key role in Peru's trade balance. Nearly 82% of total exports of minerals (14.7 million) were Copper ($ 6 billion), gold ($ 4 billion) and zinc (2 billion). Exports of other minerals from Peru were molybdenum (838 million dollars), lead (713 million dollars), money (479 million dollars), tin (332 million $) And iron ($ 256 million).
traditional export Peru is the fourth most important oil and derivatives, amounted 1.6 billion in 2006, compared to 1.5 million in 2005. total exports of Peru minerals, including oil and products Oil rose to over 68% of its total exports in 2006.

Copper
copper production in Peru (Cu) in 2006 was approximately 1.05 million tonnes (Mt), compared to nearly 1.01 million tonnes in 2005, an increase of nearly 4%. The country's exports of copper metal in 2006 totaled approximately 986,600 metric tons (T) for $ 6 billion, compared to 984,200 tonnes, valued at 3.4 billion dollars in 2005, this value was 76.5% higher than 2005 after copper prices rose to $ 2.829 per pound of copper in 2006 of $ 1.549 a pound in 2005.

Other gold producers Minera Barrick were leading Misquichilca SA (51.9 t), Madre de Dios SA (15.8 t), Compania de Minas Buenaventura SAA (7.9 t) and SAC Aruntani (6.5 tons). exports 2006 Gold Oz 6702.1 is estimated at 4 million dollars compared to 7,036.8 oz valued at 3.2 billion dollars in 2005, this value was 25% more than in 2005 following the price of gold rose to $ 605 per troy ounce in 2006 from $ 445 per ounce troy 2005.
Money
the country's total content Silver Rose over 3471 t compared to 3206 t in 2005. Peru, for the third times, beat silver production in Mexico of 3000 t in 2006. In the production Silver, companies such as Aruntani, El Brocal, Compania de Minas Buenaventura SAA Volcan Compania Minera SAA and were more active, and the production of silver was higher than last year because of Minera Yanacocha SRL and mining of gold-silver medium has exceeded its original production targets. Yanacocha increased production mainly because of technological innovations in the process of recovering gold and silver. High prices enabled mining international medium to small producers lower mine ore quality. Peru has produced over 313,300 t of lead in concentrate, compared to about 319,400 t in 2005. Exports of silver were valued at approximately $ 479,000,000, respectively, compared to 281 million in 2005, respectively.

Natural gas and oil
In 2006, a refund (proven and probable) and crude oil as possible, Peru LNG (LNG) and natural gas resources were estimated 6,239,100,000 barrels (Mbbl) 1,373.8 Mbbl LNG and natural gas 859 billion cubic meters (30.4 trillion cubic feet), respectively. The gas fields were the main Aguaytía, which is located about 41 km west-northwest of Pucallpa and has proven reserves of 8.5 billion cubic meters (301 billion cubic meters) of gas and 9 Mbbl of natural gas liquids (NGL) and the Camisea gas fields in the Ucayali Basin with 250 million cubic meters (8.7 trillion cubic feet), which consisted of 600 Mbbl of NGL. Natural gas production rose to 1.775 million cubic meters of 1.517 million cubic meters in 2005 and was produced by Pluspetrol SA (59%), Aguaytía SA (22%), Petrotech del Peru SA (8%), Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) (6%) and others (5%).
