Today's announcement: does anyone have any knowledge as how to interpret these figures?
"To date, results are available for the first four RC holes out of a total of nineteen
completed and the majority of the RAB drilling. Significant RC results received to
date include;
• 10m @ 11.9g/t Au
• 2m @ 21.3 g/t Au
The regional RAB drilling completed along wide spaced lines has successfully
extended the known strike length of the mineralised Halley’s Shear Zone by
over 1,000 m, both to the north and south. Other prospects also returned new
anomalous zones with better RAB intersections including 4m @ 1.4 g/t EOH, 11m @
0.3g/t EOH, 6m @ 0.3 g/t EOH and 12m @ 0.4 g/t.
A total of 2275m of RAB (122 holes) and 1853m of RC drilling ("

do you think buy or sell? is this company doing any good with its gold mining? could it be a keeper at this price?

I entered at 2.6 so given potential + cash in bank (not going broke anytime soon) I'm keeping.
If you've already made a profit on this then may consider getting out as its looking pretty sideways, I had hopes the announcement would trigger another bounce but it hasn't.

u might wanna check the quarterly report again, the company has lil over $1m left, in last 12mths the company spent over $2m... so you can do the maths

Good point I was going on older stats. Thanks for clarification!!!!!
Still even with the latest figures, assuming same cash burn rate as this quarter = cash left for at least 3 quarters then some padding. Not good at all I agree but still some wiggle room depending on how things pan out. But the lack of response to the latest drilling results is not encouraging.

Anyone still keeping an eye on this stock? Obvious bit of action lately... very new trader so any feedback would be handy!
For anyone out there interested, this is on the BCN site.

Volume up last couple of days - up over 21% today.
Drilling has recommenced so hopefully so results out by the end of the month?
This article has just been added to company website:
http://www.beaconminerals.com/Reports/Media Articles
Earlier this year Beacon Minerals Ltd decided to divest its interests in its
Baladjan and Djelidysu silicon plays – as well as its Kumushtak (silver-gold-copper) and Keptash (gold-molybdenum-copper)
holdings – in Kyrgyzstan to devote all of its efforts on advancing the Barlee project in its home state of Western Australia. Located some 200 kilometres north of Southern Cross in the one of the state’s more lightly explored greenstone belts, Barlee covers 400 square km of highly prospective real estate and has only been subjected to a modest amount of aircore and RC drilling – work which has undeniably yielded a number of mouth watering results. In early June, Beacon told the market that recent field work had returned a plethora of significant gold intercepts, including 8m at 24 grams/tonne (with 3m at 46.6 g/t), 10m at 11.9 g/t, 8m at 8 g/t, 5m at
7.2 g/t and 4m at 1.8 g/t. These high grade intersections were from both the last drill hole at the Halley’s East and Phil prospects, as well as from other targets throughout the Barlee project area. According to the junior, these numbers complimented earlier significant gold results already released to the ASX. These included 27m at 36.1 g/t, 11m at 24.9 g/t,
15m at 11.5 g/t, 19m at 4.9 g/t as well as 14m at 3.76 g/t. Prospective holdings All up, Barlee covers three exploration licences and sits in an area with very little outcrop, meaning early field work has relied primarily on soil sampling, RAB drilling and geophysics to identify targets. Furthermore, modern exploration techniques have not been systematically employed in the region, which has meant only 5% of the holes thus far drilled in the tenements have gone to depths further than 100m. Also, less than 5% of the area has been properly scrutinised by wannabe miners. “Prior to Beacon commencing exploration, several companies had undertaken sporadic
exploration over the area after the mid 1990s, but there had been no field work since 2002,” brokerage Intersuisse said in an investment note issued during June. “Most of the prior work was reconnaissance in nature, with soil sampling and RAB drilling the main follow up exploration tools. “Despite the identification of several interesting soil anomalies, there had been little follow-up prior to Beacon’s initial aircore drill program at Barlee in 2008.” It was partly for these reasons that the exploration house decided to divest its international project portfolio at the start of this year to concentrate on its
WA holdings. “Plus, with the downturn in market sentiment at the end of 2008, we found there just wasn’t the appetite in the market for projects in Kyrgyzstan – no matter how attractive they were,” Beacon managing director Darryl Harris explained. “The other problem we had was our cost structure over there was based on the US dollar, which didn’t help our bank balance given the negative foreign exchange rate movement. “Barlee, on the other hand, was in one of the most mining friendly jurisdictions in the world and it was located in a neighbourhood that had an established track record for yielding gold mines. Developing it was obviously going to be
cost effective and it had a lot more upside. “So really, at the end of the day,
refocusing our complete attention on this project was a no brainer – furthermore, we found investors were more comfortable with the project as were the stockbrokers.” Geological settings As it stands, Beacon currently has two advanced priority targets at Barlee. The first, Halley’s East, was originally identified as a soil anomaly and has since Drilling success a boon for investors been subjected to a wide-spaced RAB
drilling program. Harris said a long section of the target had shown a plunging high grade gold lode which remained open at depth and, so far at least, indicated the presence of a typical robust Goldfields target. “At this stage, it looks as if a familiar widely spread high grade and close-tosurface
expression in the oxide zone is overlying the narrower, deeper, primary mineralisation,” he explained. Barlee’s second main target, the Phil prospect, is located on a structure parallel – and to the north – of Halley’s East. Here, Beacon’s initial aircore drilling, which was following up historical anomalous RAB holes, returned gold intercepts of 24m at 1 g/t and 8m at 5.7g/t. This prompted the junior to carry out early RC drilling – an exercise that returned results like 14m at 3.7 g/t, 15m at 11.5 g/t as well as 5m at 7.2 g/t. In reviewing the aeromagnetic data for the tenement, Beacon identified the north-east structural trend as an important control of the mineralisation
and, as a result, identified a total of 23 regional gold targets. Harris said the strength of the intercepts obtained by Beacon over the past year, which he described as “quite stunning”, had seen plenty of investor interest in the junior. This had not only come from major shareholders, but also from the day
traders who recognised the value in investing in a stock that was proving to
be quite liquid and had demonstrated an undeniably healthy upside. “I think it’s fair to say our major stockholders are sticking with us in the long term because they see the value in these numbers,” he noted. “Also, there is no denying that gold is so far the commodity of 2009 – you can’t print 10% of the global gross national product in bank notes and expect there won’t be some kind of major correction. “It has to be stabilised by gold, which, as usual, is essentially underpinning the world’s monetary system.”
Exciting future At the end of the day, Beacon looks set to follow in the footsteps of the list of other gold juniors which have recently had success in revisiting under-explored areas of WA. “Look at Integra, or Catalpa or Regis
Resources – they have all shown that perseverance can pay off,” Harris said. “All three have stuck to their guns and are now on the verge of becoming part of the next wave of gold producers in WA. They have also added significantly to their respective market caps over the past 18 months.
“And they have achieved this through a level headed approach to exploration in areas which have been previously under-explored or under estimated. “Beacon’sshareholders, I believe, recognise this simple scenario – they see liquidity in our stock and they see our low share price and realise that they could substantially increase their investment very quickly on the back of further exploration success at Barlee. "Essentially we are in an under-explored region where, from our early drilling results at least, there appear to be healthy mineralised zones which sit under just 5-10m of cover. “From here on in it is now a case of conducting more orientation work and improving our understanding of what the geological controls of this area actually are so we can fast track regional exploration and target the most prospective areas. “We have an exploration goal of 500,000 oz and our ultimate aim is to
establish a potential resource base in the next 12 months that could be capable of supporting a stand alne gold project. “This is why the whole project and the future for Beacon are so exciting.” Barlee’s regional setting.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the new rights issue is 1:1 @ 2.2c ea ..... record date Sep 30th. The current share price is 2.4c ..... why would you bother buying the new shares???
Exactly, last Thursday they peaked at 3.5 cents, but lost it as quick as they gained it. I bought in a few weeks ago at 2.5 cents looking like I will sell and break even.

BCN holders - are you on holiday still since Sept 09?
Did you notice David H at Eureka report recommended BCN and today it jumped 25%.
Funny enough there was no report of getting speeding ticket to them either.
The volume of transaction was about 7 times more than other days
Was it by fluke or more ?
Enjoy

looking good on the chart at the moment - good support building at this level. wouldnt be surprised if it started to move from here.
POG looking good for a break out too
However the short term is dependant on the December drill program of the 26 RC and 157 RAB holes - proof will be in the pudding

Reviving a dead thread here.
But after selling gold from most recent milling campaigns beacon will be able to pay off the remaining debentures. Rough valuation will be around 6 million for a company with a market cap of only 4.5 million.

Long time in the wilderness for BCN but they have a nice looking Gold Project with most approvals already in place.
Volume is still low, but my gut says keep a lazy eye on it for some movement

0.02 looks done and 0.021 is being nibbled at ……..
Looking for Volume to kick in at the 0.022 level and it might kick up a few notches.
I don't hold Stock but do hold long dated Options so any upward movement is handy

Its looking like my lazy eye and my gut may be correct
Beacon to issue an $18 million debenture note to bring their small low cost Gold Project into production in 2019
Very low ASIC … and easy dig open pit makes this a very attractive money spinner for a small Company with lots of future targets to increase the resource past the initial 5 year LOM
Currently in Trading Halt pending Further Funding announcement. I suspect a bounce on Monday so hopefully a few punters got set with it.
