Member Contest: Miners’ Challenge

Last chance to enter Bullion Bulls Miners' Challenge

For those waiting until "the last minute" to enter, that time has arrived...or pretty close to it. There is now less than 48 hours until the contest deadline of September 30th, 12:00 midnight (PDT).

 

** Contest Entrants Updated - effective September 28th, 10:00 (PDT) **

(The full list of members entered is inside, at the bottom of the page.)

Bullion Bulls Canada now has two contests for our members, with free bullion being awarded to contest winners. The first contest has already started, and further details are available below.

Our second contest is a little more serious: the Bullion Bulls Miners' Challenge.

Starting from October 1^st, and running through March 31^st of 2011, we will have a contest to see which member's “top pick� performs the best over the contest period (i.e. experiences the greatest percentage gain over this period of time). Between today and October 1^st , just send a personal message to either me, or our webmaster Chad McNamara, or our Mining Coordinator, Brian Boutilier – providing us with your “pick�.

To make it easy to track these companies, the contest will be limited to North American-listed precious metals miners (i.e. miners which have gold or silver as the primary metal in their deposits (by dollar-value) and/or as their principal source of revenue). Only one pick per member is allowed, and naturally we can't have more than one contestant choose the same mining company, so in case of “duplicates�, only the first entrant will be credited with that pick (we'll let you know if you have selected a duplicate).

Contest closes September 30^th, 2010.

Today we are pleased to announce our prizes:

Grand Prize:  (1) 1-oz gold coin

Second Prize:  1/2-oz gold coin

Third Prize:  1/4-oz gold coin

Halfway leader:  1/4-oz gold coin

 

The other contest is the best kind of contest, in that members only need to continue to do what they are already doing. Prizes will be awarded each month, with the winner(s) chosen based upon their level of activity on our site. The more “active� you are, the better your chance of winning, but any member who participates even slightly on our site is a potential winner.

Make comments on our commentaries, do your own “post� on our blogs or bulletin board, or just send “friendship� invitations to other members. At the end of each month, we will select three winners.

 

First prize: Three, 1-oz silver coins + Bullion Bulls T-shirt

Second prize: One, 1-oz silver "round" + Bullion Bulls T-shirt

Third prize: One, 1-oz silver "round"

 

To be more specific, the "first prize" will be three government-minted coins: one ASE, one Canadian "Maple", and one Philharmonic. The "second prize" will be one "Buffalo round", while the "third prize" will be a "Liberty Bell round". In addition two of the winners will receive a “crappy T-shirt�, but with our very stylish Bullion Bulls Canada logo on them. Who knows: these T-shirts could become “collector's items� - and end up being worth more than the silver? (I'm sure that line won't fool any of the silver-bulls on our site...)

These contests have only been made possible through the generous donations of SilverGoldBull.com, and are meant to commemorate our new relationship with SilverGoldBull.com – and their sponsorship of our site.

These contests are not open to any individuals associated with either Bullion Bulls Canada, SilverGoldBull.com, or their family members.
