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.

Mark Kelly, CEO of Baxi Group UK and Ireland, said: "We are very pleased that another of the devolved countries

has committed to helping people replace their old, inefficient boilers. The Welsh scheme will be targeting over

60s, who they consider to be more vulnerable to fuel poverty.

"The scheme will help to cut fuel bills by around £235, as well as significantly reducing household carbon

emissions. And homes in off mains gas areas will have the opportunity to replace G rated boilers replaced with

new, high efficiency, A rated LPG boilers or low carbon technologies such as biomass boilers.”

The scheme will come into force on 1 April this year and the £2.5 million has been allocated for 2010/11. In

addition, £1.4 million will be invested in the Welsh Home Energy Efficiency Scheme, to help tackle fuel poverty in

households by improving heating and insulation.

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.

Go for Gold - Potterton Gold product range extended – Eldora Gold Boiler News

Eldora Gold Boiler News - The popular Potterton Gold range of boilers has been extended to include system

and heat only models, and a combi boiler specifically for LPG. The new Potterton Gold Cylinder completes the

collection room.

Building on the success of the Potterton Gold Combi HE, a 2010 Which? Best Buy, the new products offer installers

a high quality choice of products suitable for practically every application.

The Potterton Gold System HE is available in outputs of 18, 24 and 28 kW, has a SEDBUK 2005 rating of 91.2% and

is NOx Class 5 (the best). It comes with a one piece pre-plumbing jig and integral filling loop to make installation

quicker and easier, saving both time and money.

Compact and manoeuvrable, the Potterton Gold H heat only boiler is small enough to be installed in a standard

kitchen unit. It is available in outputs of 15, 18 and 24kW and is fully modulating to ensure excellent fuel

efficiency. There's no wiring between the pump and boiler, saving installation time.

The Potterton Gold range of unvented cylinders has been designed to complement the new boiler ranges. It is

available in capacities of 100, 120, 150, 170, 210, 250 and 300 litres so there's a model for every heating system.

KIWA approved, the cylinders have a stainless steel inner vessel and thermoplastic coating to protect against

corrosion and prolong life expectancy. They are insulated with a 50mm layer of polyurethane CFC-free foam,

giving enhanced heat loss performance. They are simple to install and maintain, with all the controls and

connections easily accessible at the front. The coil-in-coil heat exchanger ensures rapid heat recovery and greater

efficiency.

The Potterton Gold range of combi, system and heat only boilers are all SEDBUK 2005 <90% efficient and are

backed by a two year warranty. The Gold Cylinder has a one year parts and labour warranty and a 25 year

warranty on the stainless steel vessel. All warranties are subject to registration and, where appropriate, annual

service.

Eldora Gold News-Investing in Silver: Is This Precious Metal Set to Beat Out Gold?

By Tony D'Altorio. Silver has served as a measure of value and currency for over 4,000 years. As early as around 600 B.C., citizens of Lydia used it for coins. But while hardly new, it’s still giving investors something to talk about these days.

Eldora Gold Resources News - In the past month, silver has hit prices it hasn’t seen since the Hunt brothers tried to corner that market over three decades ago. Their attempts drove the commodity to nearly $50 an ounce in 1980. Today, just like back then, many individual investors are buying up what some call “poor man’s gold.”

Eldora Gold Resources News - Gold may be capturing headlines and new record highs. But silver is shining too… enough to make many wonder whether its forward returns might just beat out gold’s.

Silver bugs like many of the same arguments that gold bugs do: The Federal Reserve’s upcoming QE2, a second round of emergency monetary easing, will lead to much higher inflation in the future. Many central banks may very well devalue their currencies to further domestic growth, thereby sparking a global “currency war.” (Incidentally, the Federal Reserve is heading that charge as well, with its massive money creation.)

In reaction, silver coin sales are hitting record highs this year.

Eldora Gold Resources News - The US Mint sold 27.5 million in silver American Eagles so far in 2010, well within reach of last year’s record 28.8 million ounces… with the holiday season still ahead. And the Royal Canadian Mint has already sold over 30% more of its silver Maple Lead coins than last year’s record 10 million ounces.

Plus, investors have snapped up more than 1,500 tons of silver through ETFs in the past two months alone. That’s more than 5% of total annual silver supplies. It has become one of the best-performing commodities this year. Over August and September, it rallied 31%… more than three times gold’s rise.

Global Silver Demand Ramps Up Silver investors are betting on how silver consumption still relies heavily on jewellery demand and demand from certain industries. So that should mean as the global economy recovers, so will silver.

Already, there has been a strong rebound in industrial demand for the resource in traditional areas like electronics. And add to that the solar power industry’s new need for silver compounds to convert sunlight into electricity.

CEO Scott Morrison of Metalor, one of the world’s top precious metals refiners, says:

Industrial demand for silver is very strong – back to 2008 levels or even better.

Still, investors will likely remain the main force behind silver prices for now. Also, the addition of hedge funds to the mix may lead to sizable, short-term volatility. Because the silver market is a so much smaller than gold’s, large investments can make bigger impacts on prices.

Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News

Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Uncertainty grips expectant gold-mining communities in Venezuela. Continuing a report on the situation of gold-mining in Bolivar State and in particular on the Las Cristinas mine in Sifontes municipality, Correo del Caroni reporter, Natalie Garcia maintains that the end of the Crystallex concession has reopened the debate on the Venezuelan State's gold-mining policies, which could be said to have failed, given current labor instability and cordons of misery south of Bolivar State.

Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - VHeadline News Editor Patrick J. O'Donoghue reports: Several decades ago, the Las Cristinas was held up as the salvation of thousands of local inhabitants, who were scratching a living off illegal and wild cat mining. Las Cristinas, Garcia pointed out, has not been formally exploited for more than 20 years, even though it has around 31 million ounces of gold and proven reserves.

There is also the Brisas Del Cuyuni mine formerly in the hands of Gold Reserve, which is suing the government for compensation.

The journalist (pictured right) ventures that Las Cristinas' future looms uncertain because details have not been released about the next steps to be taken.

A proposal was launched in 2008 at a meeting of the Basic Industries & Mining (Mibam) Ministry to set up an "ALBA Gold Mining District," consisting of three blocks to be distributed among small-to-medium socialist mining companies belonging to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA).

Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Within the strategy, there was a social plan to invest part of the money coming from gold production, creating a warehouse center, a gold refinery and mint, and a goldsmith network under the control of mining cooperatives. Part of the plan included building a copper recovery plant because of the association between copper and gold.

Garcia raises the possibility of a 50/50 joint venture between the State and VenRus, the Russian company, currently holding the La Isidora and La Camorra concessions.

Whatever the outcome, Garcia concludes; local communities are calling for the immediate activation of mining projects and their inclusion when it comes to distributing the profits.

The main call as ever is for new job opportunities and an improvement in the local communities' standard of living. Patrick J. O'Donoghue news.editor@vheadline.com

VHeadline.com Venezuela is a wholly independent e-publication promoting democracy in its fullest expression and the inalienable right of all Venezuelans to self-determination and the pursuit of sovereign independence without interference. Our stance is decidedly pro-governance (defined as being contrary to anarchy) and pro-government to the extent that we support all and any government policies aimed at consolidating and improving the living conditions and future prosperity of ALL Venezuelans, regardless of race, color or creed. We also seek to shed an international spotlight on nefarious practices and corruption which, for decades, has strangled this South American nation's development and progress.

Spot Price of Gold - What Factors Are Driving It

Eldora Resources Tips: The spot price of gold may seem mysterious at first, but this isn't the case when you understand what factors drive the market industry worth of gold. At the most basic the answer is supply and demand, but this fact is very simplistic and there are other factors involved as well. In the last few years the cost of gold as investment has increased significantly, and the factors driving the demand also need to be addressed. The recent global financial economic breakdown left many investors distrustful of the usual markets, and that caused them to turn to gold bullion and other precious metals instead. Gold bullion coins and bars have historically been a good investment in rough economic times, and still are today.You should be aware that there are scams and fraud at large claiming to offer services and other resources are not owned/endorsed by either e-gold. Tips and reasons to invest below to prevent scams and other fraudulent transaction on the web.

Because many investors started buying 1 oz gold bullion and also other forms of this metal this drove up the demand for it. Furthermore gold is used in manufacturing and other industries, and this also increases the demand that this precious metal has. As the demand increased the spot cost of gold also went up, and other precious metals followed for the same reasons. Technically the spot price of gold is determined by the supply and demand factors, but the underlying reasons for this demand also need to be evaluated so you can make the best possible investment decisions.

Currency devaluation can also cause the spot price of gold to go up. Many investors use the foreign currency exchange to invest, but when currency values fall many Forex investors turn to precious metals, including gold 9999 pure. This is also true in other sectors, because gold and other metals have always been viewed as safe and reliable regardless of economic or political factors that often affect other investment choices. There are numerous factors that are used to determine the spot price of gold, and all of them will have an impact available on the market and the value of this and other precious metals.
