There was not so much a decrease in foreign buying, but a switch in location from Vancouver to Toronto for Chinese money, although there is talk of it spreading further (Quebec, Montreal).

NeoMetals Mt Marion Lithium Plant Commissioning VIDEO
November 2016

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0SIYCDum3s

** Unlike most of the #LithiumMarketingFluffTrash being peddled to investors in the LI frenzy, Neometals and their partners are a real company. Like I mentioned a while back $GXY.AX $GALXF Galaxy Resources would be next into production (and they were) behind $ORL $OROCF Orocobre, and then the JV with $NMT.AX $RRSSF NeoMetals/Ganfeng/ and $MIN.AX $MALRF Mineral Resources would be next (and now they are).

Regardless of what happens to the 80-90 other deal jumper “Lithium” companies that converted over from Gold, Uranium, and Rare Earths, these companies have actually been working on their projects for some time and their success on making it into production should be noted. There aren’t that many more Lithium projects that are really needed, but the next projects in line to be developed are $NMX $NMKEF Nemaska Lithium, $LAC $LACDF Lithium Americas Corp, and $PLS.AX $PILBF Pilbara Minerals.

There are definitely a few other interesting exploration projects coming up ( $DJI $DJIFF Dajin Frontier $CRE $CRECF Crital Elements or $PE $PEMIF Pure Energy Minerals etc….,) but those are the main players that are either in production or developing into production.

We don’t need 80 more companies to supply the Lithium demand for the next decade.

Thank you Excelsior

Oh. Well that makes sense why Bill Fleckenstein has been holed up there.

So much for the Cory Fleck and Bill Fleckenstein’s on-going show: “Fleck on Fleck”

please elaborate on Fleck on Fleck if you would Excelsior.

Thanks

Yes he certainly did, Matthew.

When Cory “Fleck” had interviewed Bill “Fleck”enstein in the past, I believe it was Ebolan that mentioned a good title for those segments could be:

“Fleck on Fleck”

Just horsing around really….

But if Bill is a captive speaker for KWN, then it doesn’t seem he’ll be able to make any appearances here (like Dan Norcini or Michael Belkin).

Well it was good for the KER to bring on such an array of speakers and based on the responses back from people, there were just as many people that liked them both as those that may have disliked them. Same with Roger Wiegand and Peter Peter Grandich – they were a blessing to the site when they were here and offered their thoughts for the time their light was shining.

Personally, I liked both Michael and Gary and enjoyed hearing their perspectives. It shouldn’t be necessary or expected for listeners to agree with everything someone says to feel like they bring value, and it is a shame that certain posters attacked them so heavily, or that they were so worried about subscribers that they didn’t see the benefits of true “Fellowship and Friendship.”

Often times I learn a great deal about the position I hold by listening to people that hold differing views, or that may expect a different projection than I do. There are many times where I’ll post articles on here that I disagree with the whole premise or at least part of it, just to represent a different point of view as food for thought.

Of course, there is a professional way of disagreeing though, where you still treat the other party with respect and can agree to disagree with out getting into insults and personal attacks. Unfortunately, there have been posters on here and guest speakers that didn’t share that philosophy, and obviously that is why they aren’t here any more. It’s sad when intelligent people can’t handle their emotions and destroy their interactions with others through lashing out.

Regardless, thanks for all the new and old guests that you and Cory bring on the KER. It is a positive message radiating out into the investing marketplace, and there are many people that read and listen that don’t post here, because I talk to them privately. Your work is greatly respected and appreciated by many.

The only people who we do not let on the site are those that we have reason to believe are dishonest. Regarding Mr. Wigand I had to sue him and I, in fact, won the lawsuit.

Sorry to hear that Big Al.

Well, life goes on, and just think of the all the positive friendships and great people we’ve all been exposed to due to the collective wisdom of the KER.

Ever Upward!

Big Al, it seems you are the kind of character that can surprise people, I must admit what you said about Roger Wiegand caught me off guard, but then you are a businessman and you must stand by your convictions. DT

Here is a helpful map of where the Maseve Mine for Platinum Group Metals is being built at present in the Western Limb as the new kid on the block, and surrounded by a bunch of old mines that are already very deep and mostly mined out.

It is really their second project (Waterberg) that animates me though up in the North Limb on the same trend that Ivanhoe has it’s Platreef Project. The grade up on that North limb is ridiculously high grade. What is interesting to me about Platinum Group Metals is that they have their Waterberg JV and the new Waterberg Extension (that they control).

So really they have 3 projects if you consider Waterberg to be 2 separate projects.

Check out the map below for more clarity:

https://staticseekingalpha.a.ssl.fastly.net/uploads/2015/10/23/12290461-1445593024661509-Fun-Trading_origin.jpg

Here is a close up of the just the Northern Limb for a better view of Waterberg projects:

http://platinumgroup.2014.33aws.com/file/2015/01/PTM_Bushveld_Complex_North_Limb_Map_20Jan15-site.jpg

It is also interesting that both Ivanhoe and Platinum Group Metals intend to use robotic mining in many shallow pits (due to the near surface and high grade nature of the deposits) versus the deep human labor intensive mines found on the Eastern and Western Limb deposits. Using technology to enhance economics, and reduce the labor needed does 2 things – 24/7 work with no complaining or sick days, and greatly reduced South African labor union BS to contend with. = better costs, less people, less injuries, less strikes, less nonsense.

I believe this give Ivanhoe and Platinum Group Metals a distinct advantage over their South African peers.

For those that want to avoid South Africa all together keep you eyes on Wellgreen Platinum, Group Ten Metals (Wellgreen’s neighbor), Polymet (development stage with some prior infrastructure in place on the Duluth complex with Nickel/PGMs/Copper/Gold/Silver), Stillwater (Montana big wig in the PGM space and growing PGM recycling division), North American Palladium (destroyed, restructured, coming back to market for a second date), and look into Wallbridge, Panoramic, Noront, Atlasa, and Platina.

________________________________________________________________________

I couldn’t end this PGM rant without mentioning the current drilling program for Northern Shield at Sequoi this month. If they hit pay dirt – then that stock is going to just explode.

For those that missed what is developing with Northern Shield, scan up through the comments on this CEO room link below. The good news is that nobody has missed the ride on this one really.

Yes, the initial move out of the gate happened once it got so much more coverage from Eric Coffin and Gwen Preston, but the work has really just begun. The team at Northern Shield has identified 4 main drill target zones from their VTEM work.

The first one “Huckleberry” has a JV on it with South 32, but the drilling was only marginal low grade Nickel/PGM/Copper but still holds some potential for drilling next year.

However, the 2nd target “Sequoi” is being drilled as we speak, and those results will be out in a few weeks. This is the target everyone is very excited about. (It is all the folks over at CEO want to discuss as far as PGM miners, and some have small fortunes on the line waiting for the drill results). I do have a position in place (just in case…..fingers crossed). If they miss with dusters, the stock may chop in half, but if they hit…….. look out!

Atlatsa is actually operating in S. Africa for clarification. (they took over the old Anooraq Resources properties).

You, Excelsior, are a valuable wealth of knowledge.

Thanks Big Al. Just sharing what I come across here on the KER forum. 🙂

Ivanhoe Mines says Globe and Mail readers are being misled by the newspaper’s story today about the company’s Platreef Project
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA–(Marketwired – Dec. 5, 2016)

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/ivanhoe-mines-says-globe-mail-readers-are-being-misled-newspapers-story-today-about-tsx-ivn-2180607.htm

“Ivanplats, an Ivanhoe subsidiary, owns 64% of the Platreef Project. In conjunction with ongoing mine construction, Ivanplats has arranged for the relocation of informal graves from locations that have been identified on lands outside the perimeter of the active mine development site. The relocation program was implemented with the support of relatives and families of the deceased – and following extensive consultations, including with community leaderships – in full compliance with requirements established by South African authorities. The necessary official approvals were received for the relocation of graves.”

“As Ivanplats advised The Globe and Mail last week, from the outset, Ivanplats has responsibly managed the graves relocation process with the appropriate dignity, respect and sensitivity. Ivanplats is committed to resolving any disputes in the same spirit, but also will defend its rights and those of directly affected families who support and have consented to the planned relocations of graves.”

“Patricia Makhesha, Managing Director of Ivanplats, has commented, “Ancestors belong to their next of kin, not the public, and therefore it’s sad that people like Mr. Langa fail to respect the privacy that this matter deserves.”

Ditto Marty

Just did. Thanks for the heads up Marty.

Thanks for the heads up on it DT. Yes, all the focus on infrastructure may or may not pan out, but as the world continues developing, it is going to need stuff, and resources companies pull the raw materials out into usable form, so great deposits will continue to be valuable.

The Pebble deposit is well endowed with about 5 different metals so a large commodity conglomerate could takeover the project or at least JV the project and would have the ability to move all the different concentrates. You are correct that not every miner would be able to pull off developing a more complex deposit like that though.

The October update on the legal situation at least indicates they are trying to come to some agreement that works for all parties involved. That is what most investors are waiting on, but of course, there is more opportunity now with the unknown factor. I’m definitely going to be watching it closer for potential trading opportunities.

Copper price: Warnings over US trade with China, Mexico
Frik Els | about an hour ago

http://www.mining.com/copper-price-warnings-us-trade-china-mexico/

“….However, Moody’s believes the latest leg up for base metals (bellwether copper is up more than 25% over the last eight weeks) is not sustainable. Carol Cowan, Moody’s Senior Vice President says most metals markets remain in surplus and “supply-demand fundamentals have not improved meaningfully”:

As a result, we expect base-metal prices to be under pressure in 2017, though we do not expect prices to retreat to the lows seen in late 2015 and early 2016.”

“All base metals, with the exception of Zinc, remains oversupplied and global inventories have also remained stubbornly elevated (again zinc is the exception) according to the report.

While increased infrastructure spending should benefit the sector, particularly inside the US, the impact of the presidential election for the base-metal industry remains unclear says Cowan:”

Zinc is the exception.😎😎😎 That’s why zinc stocks are an exceptional play.👍👍👍
