Eldora Gold Boiler News - Multifit GasSaver and Potterton Promax combi boilers help Aster Group crack the Code in Bristol

Eldora Gold Boiler News - Installation of Baxi Group high efficiency boilers, integrated with innovative Multifit GasSaver heat room recovery devices, has enabled Aster Group to successfully meet Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes on its Narroways Road development in Bristol. 
Aster Group who own and manage around 17,000 affordable homes in the central south and south west of England has recently opened its Narroways Road scheme. Constructed by the Leadbitter Group, Narroways features 12 new two bed apartments, eight houses and five retail units. For this affordable development Leadbitter Group specified Baxi Group's Potterton Promax 28 HE Plus Combination boilers, which included Multifit GasSaver units in the flats, to meet the required SAP rating and achieve Code Level 3.
Meeting SAP cost-effectively to reach the right Code Level must be balanced with the need to provide an efficient, appropriate and high quality heating and hot water solution for a particular project. Using the Potterton Promax Combi boilers together with GasSavers provides the optimum solution at Narroways Road. The tenants are familiar with the combi boiler and how it works, and the GasSaver builds on the boiler's own high efficiency to deliver even better performance. This ensures that system specification, installation and operation are as straightforward as possible.
Listed as an approved technology under SAP Appendix Q and recommended for use by the Energy Saving Trust, the Multifit GasSaver can reduce the gas used to heat hot water by up to 37% annually. It sits neatly between the boiler and its flue, recycling the heat from the flue gases which would otherwise be expelled into atmosphere and wasted. This heat is then used to preheat water coming into the boiler from the cold mains supply. 
The Potterton Promax 28 HE Plus is a compact, combination boiler which is SEDBUK Band A rated, capable of a 91.4% operating efficiency. Quick and easy to install, it boasts excellent flow rates and is available in 24, 28 and 33 kW outputs. Other benefits include built in frost protection, a range of flueing options, an optional wireless room thermostat and a pump that automatically runs every 24 hours to keep itself in prime condition.
The Potterton boilers and Multifit GasSavers were installed by local contractor M G Plumbing. The Narroways Road development opened officially on Friday 2nd July.

Eldora News - Baxi Group welcomes Welsh Boiler scrappage announcement – Eldora Gold Boiler News

Eldora Gold Boiler News  - Baxi Group welcomes the announcement that Wales is to benefit from a boiler scrappage room scheme similar to that which has been running in England since 5 January 2010.  However, only people over the age of 60 will qualify for £500 towards the cost of a replacing an old, G rated boiler under the £2.5 million scheme.

Eldora Gold Resources Launches GravSep™; Process Set to Rehabilitate Tailings Sites

(Toronto) – Eldora Gold proudly announces it has completed the assembly of its premiere pilot plant, dubbed GravSep™, to assist with the extensive process testing phase.  With GravSep™ on site, Eldora will use a combination of physical separation processes to extract a concentrate from the first selected mill tailings site in Kirkland Lake, Canada.  This concentrate will contain the majority of the recoverable metallic values in these former tailings, as well as the majority of the minerals responsible for the adverse environmental consequences of the original tailings disposal.
The proprietary process includes the preparation of a recirculating water pond, whereby final tailing separation from pulping water will provide recirculating water for pulping fresh feed, thus no continuous use of fresh water is required. After pulping the excavated feed and pumping the pulp through the physical separation process, Eldora anticipates ultimately discharging a tailing material in a form suitable for environmental rehabilitation of the site.
Eldora Gold anticipates, based on initial testing, that the auspicious debut (1/2 tonne per hour) of GravSep™ will result in not only the recovery of valued minerals, but also the rehabilitation of former tailings sites.  Given the assembly of its portable equipment, Eldora intends to provide a dual benefit from the operation of GravSep™ units: by marketing the resultant concentrate into suitable channels and also providing a low-energy green solution to mining communities.
The GravSep™ is designed to be scalable, and is suited for small deposits less than 300,000 tonnes that cannot support permanent high capital cost equipment installations.  The anticipated advantages for Eldora’s proprietary environmentally-friendly physical separation processing, which can be tailored to each specific deposit, now include potential  for successful treatment and rehabilitation for many smaller size deposits using simple to maintain and operate equipment, as well as chemical-free processing. Pumping is the single major energy input, and it extracts and recovers valuable mineral concentrates which also have significant deleterious environmental effects when left in-situ.
From an environmental standpoint, tailings have always been an unwanted byproduct of mining.  These tailings are left in piles and potentially leach environmentally-destructive materials into the surrounding soil and groundwater.  Processing tailings thus also reduces the negative environmental impact of remaining minerals from the original mining process

Eldora Gold Resources Set to Showcase GravSep™ at Upcoming PDAC Conference in Canada

(Toronto) – Held annually in Toronto, the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) produces the world’s leading convention and trade show for the mineral exploration industry.  Eldora Gold is pleased to announce it will be participating in the Prospectors Tent at PDAC 2011, excited to showcase both GravSep™ and early results from the Kirkland Lake project.  The PDAC Trade Show attracts 22,000 delegates from 118 countries, and features 400 exhibitors showcasing the latest technologies, products, services and mining jurisdictions to the global mining industry.
The sold out Trade Show, appeals to critical decision-makers within companies, organizations and governments, and provides Eldora Gold an excellent forum to renew international acquaintances and introduce GravSep™ to possible strategic partners.  Also joining these decision makers are consultants, exploration managers and development professionals, geoscientists, prospectors, mining service sector representatives and mining media from around the globe.
To promote the company, target potential clients and foster new business opportunities, Eldora Gold will operate Booth 3207, March 6-9 2011.  Eldora Gold has developed and is offering a physical separation process, called GravSep™, for extracting mineral content from tailings.  
Upon conducting sample testing and evaluating those results, Eldora Gold’s Tailings Processing division intends to set up a milling operation on its first prioritized tailings disposal site in Kirkland Lake.  Extracted concentrates will contain the majority of the minerals with recoverable metallic values residing in the tailings, which coincidentally are the minerals responsible for the adverse environmental consequences of the original tailings’ disposal.
Profitably addressing the critical clean-up challenges that face owners of former mining sites globally, the chemical-free GravSep™ process enables niche deposits to be considered for successful treatment and rehabilitation, while extracting and recovering valuable mineral concentrates which have significant deleterious environmental effects when left in-situ.  Eldora Gold provides portable and simple to maintain equipment that can be specifically tailored to each deposit.
Tailings have always been an unwanted byproduct of mining from an environmental standpoint, greatly affecting wildlife and water tables for years to come.  GravSep™ drastically reduces the acid forming mineral content of these tailings during the mineral extraction process.  The result is cleaner tailings. The profitable sale of the recovered mineral concentrate provides the incentive to use Eldora Gold technology to stop the destruction of the environment.

Beware of Gold Scams


When the U.S. dollar falls in value, the price of gold and silver can usually be expected to rise. And with the dollar in free-fall as it is at the time of this writing, the trend is proceeding true to form, with gold just recently blowing past $800 an ounce. But when the gold and silver markets turn bullish and enthusiasm among investors accordingly rises, watch out! Amid every new "gold rush," you can also expect a fresh assortment of corresponding scams to appear. The last major bull market for gold and silver, the 1970's, saw scam artists abound; and this time around – especially with the proliferation of the Internet – will likely be more of the same. And although much more elaborate safeguards are doubtless in place today, the ingenuity of the modern scam artist should in no way be taken lightly or scoffed at. As the epidemic of identity theft continues to teach us, the more restrictive the means of security taken, the more ingenious the hackers, crooks, and scammers show themselves to be. Eldora Gold Resources gold investment information to avoid gold scams investing.

The best scams, by their very nature, are likely to seem to be good ideas, great opportunities, and pushed by exceedingly polished and professional-looking and sounding individuals. After all, would you really seriously consider buying gold through a website in which the text resembled one of those "You've just won the Foreign Lottery!" spam emails, where every other word is misspelled and the punctuation so bad that even a five-year-old would think it utterly ridiculous? Of course you wouldn't. It actually takes surprisingly little money to put up a very clean, very professional, and very bogus site for the sole purpose of extracting funds from unsuspecting would-be investors. By staying alert and using just a reasonable amount of common sense, you should be able to avoid these pitfalls without too much difficulty. Eldora Gold Resources gold investment information to avoid gold scams investing.
One of the more common schemes that you may run into (either by website or an unsolicited phone call) is the offer to sell you an amount of gold and store it for you as well – for an additional contracted fee, of course. And because taking physical delivery of and storing gold bullion – especially large quantities of it – can be a major undertaking itself, the arrangement would seem to the inexperienced investor to not only be convenient but also prudent. But alas, the gold – if it's even actually purchased for the investor in the first place – and the investors' money disappear into thin air, likely never to be seen or heard from again. Eldora Gold Resources gold investment information to avoid gold scams investing.
How can you protect yourself? Simply make certain that the entity you're doing business with has a long and verifiable track record of buying and selling gold. Your safest bet would be to deal only with a well-established Wall Street firm that's thoroughly regulated and insured. One of the best ways to do this is to check that the company is a member of the Industry Council for Tangible Assets, or ICTA. Most of the leading gold dealers belong to this organization. And although in no way a regulatory body itself, ICTA can verify a dealer's membership history, which can help you to establish their claims of longevity. Also, inquire with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) about any reported grievances against the company and the manner in which they were handled.

Barrick Gold Achieves Record Q3 Profit as Gold Prices Rise : Eldora Gold Resources News

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX), the world's largest producer of the yellow metal, posted a record profit for the third quarter, as lower-than-expected cash costs and higher gold prices boosted overall production.
During the period, the company recorded net income of $837 million, or $0.85 per share, from a loss of $5.4 billion, or $6.07 per share, in the year-ago quarter, when the company had $5.7 billion in charges related to the elimination of its gold hedging program.
Adjusted for one-time items, profits rose 75% to $829 million in the third quarter, or $0.84 per share, beating analyst expectations of $0.76 earnings per share.
Sales also jumped 40% to $2.8 billion in the period, compared to $2.0 billion a year earlier.
Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Barrick said that its better-than-expected results were primarily a result of the company's third quarter gold production of 2.06 million ounces, ahead of target on account of lower total cash costs of $454 per ounce, and strong performance at its new Cortez Hills mine in the North American region.

Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - The giant gold producer expects that its Pueblo Viejo project in the Dominican Republic will begin initial production in the fourth quarter of 2011, while its Pascua-Lama property on the border of Chile and Argentina is on track to enter production in the first quarter of 2013. The company is targeting growth in gold production to 9.0 million ounces annually within five years once both these project come onstream, it said.
Based on the third quarter results, Barrick announced that its board has authorized a 20% increase in fourth quarter dividends to $0.12 per share. At quarter-end, the company had a whopping $4.3 billion in cash and $1.5 billion in undrawn credit, with $3.1 billion in net debt.
Barrick, from its properties across North and South America, Africa and the Australia Pacific regions, has gold reserves of 139.8 million ounces, plus measured and indicated gold resources of 61.8 million ounces and inferred gold resources of 31.6 million ounces.
