1/ @robert_ivanhoe Why are copper smelters barely hanging on? Demand is rising, but treatment charges are collapsing. You’d think with copper in such demand, they’d be raking in profits. But that’s far from the truth. @robert_ivanhoe 2/ Treatment charges (TCs) – the fees smelters charge miners to turn copper concentrate into usable copper – are dropping faster than anyone expected. Last year, TCs in the Asia Pacific were $87.70 per tonne. Now? They’ve nosedived to negative $1.90.

Supergene at VMS? Yes, please tell me more... Super-what?

"In the traditional view, supergene ore and gangue minerals are the products of reactions between hypogene sulfide minerals and descending, acidic meteoric waters; these processes take place at or near the ground surface in subaerial environments..."

.@allanbreports I'm looking at the "GUNSIGHT" silver mine in Arizona. It's in the TOHONO O'ODHAM NATION property. Respect. The patented mining claims and patented mill site (with water) bring certain rights within the US legal system. I need special advisor @allanbreports ? TOHONO O'ODHAM NATION

I'm more bullish on Saskatchewan than any place in the world, basically. Really! In a global, comprehensive, top-to-bottom analysis, I don't know of any other place that I like better.

There is no other place where I have had more wins consistently throughout my career than Saskatchewan with me being 35 years old and doing this for over a decade in whatever way you want to define what it is that I'm doing now.

Over in the southeast, we are the only landholder of note. The Bengough land package near the town of Bengough is where we're going to go after we're done with Climax. We already have 3d seismic in place over the Bengough project and we'll be completing the aeromagnetics here in the spring and summer with a view to getting on the ground to start drilling in the fall.

"Bulk mineralized zones have been identified at Roberto Tovar where three close-spaced, parallel high-angle veins and internal wall rock show composited grades of 18 metres of 450 eq g Ag/t." I like that. "Drilling continues to prove up confidence at Santa Ana," commented Outcrop Chief Executive Officer Joseph Hebert. "We have drilled the best holes yet, while still early in our exploration program. We are excited about potential as mineralization remains open in all directions."

@bill3658 this picture is impressive. Thanks @OminecaMining for first geological map of WINGDAM. Great to stacked geological horizons marked out. Amazing to see how close the local mines are to geological contacts... PHR - Harvey's Ridge.
HR- Ramos.

Important rock units in Cariboo orogenic gold models. Thanks @GeoscienceBC !

1/ Shoutout #ESSCO Earth Science Services Corp. earthscienceservices.ca and the Stargate II (SGII) system. 2/ The SGII team always has some interesting things to say on CEO.CA -- see ceo.ca/Stargate2 for more.

1/ .@BellCopperBCU has a great exploration story at Kabba. See my thoughts on the #copper play in Arizona here: ceo.ca/@Newton/a-loom… 2/ The roots of the porphyry system are exposed at surface approximately 8 kilometers west of their exploration area and the top of the system was split from the roots by a fault.

1/ The story of #CoralGold $CLH.V sale of the Robertson project to @BarrickGold is very interesting. CEO David Wolfin describes the details in 2016 interview with Jay Taylor that I found very helpful: 2/ The key consideration for Barrick's business development committee is the IRR against a baseline gold price. When negotiating the sale of the Robertson, Barrick needed the project to meet a 15% IRR at $1,250 gold.

1/ Coral Gold (TSX.V:CLH) has been active in Nevada for over 30 years, developing a meaningful relationship with Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX) that has already led to one significant asset sale. Coral Gold negotiated a nice royalty with a sliding scale for the NSR and annual payments... 2/ ...due if not the Robertson is not in production by 2025! Coral has several other assets nearby that could have similar success, but CEO Mr. David Wolfin has already described the royalty on the Robertson as a potential company maker.

1/ Goldboro! Part 1 of #NewtonInterviews The Unknown Geologist on the geological model for this exciting gold project in Nova Scotia, Canada owned by @Anaconda_Mining: ceo.ca/@Newton/findin… 2/ Quotes from the Unknown Geologist to follow... "I know the Boston Richardson model very well."

1/ Find out what The Unknown Geologist has to say about the @Anaconda_Mining Goldboro Project in Nova Scotia, Canada: ceo.ca/@Newton/more-f… 2/ Unknown Geologist:I remember Dustin asking me to highlight some key points about Goldboro. Like how many ounces of gold do we think Goldboro will host? I said to him…you've got 850,000 now, when all is said and done, Goldboro will have at least 2,000,000 ounces.

1/ In this interview with #BobMoriarty, Bob tells a story about the famous Nugget Pond Mine in Nova Scotia that strikes a chord with his excellent 2016 book "Nobody Knows Anything: Investing Basics Learn to Ignore the Experts, the Gurus and other Fools" amazon.com/Nobody-Knows-A… 2/ Bob Moriarty:Let me talk about the dumbest mining company in Canadian history. You may be familiar with it. Do you know where the Nugget Pond mine is?

1/ Read final part of #BobMoriarty and #TheUnknownGeologist conversation on @Anaconda_Mining's Goldboro project back in August 2017: ceo.ca/@Newton/more-f… 2/ Part 1 of the conversation here: ceo.ca/@newton/the-un…

1/ The Unknown Geologist: There are a couple of key aspects of the Goldboro property. The thickness of the stacked units/belts there are great. All belts plunge 25 degrees to the east... 2/ the best example of this is the Boston Richardson Mine itself, which was one belt mined from surface down to 700 feet. It had a 400-foot shaft. We drilled out to the east down to 1250 feet and it's still there. There was one sample that ran a half-ounce over five feet.

1/ It was tough to sit on the transcript of the call where #TheUnknownGeologist introduced #BobMoriarty to the Goldboro Project owned by @Anaconda_Mining, but the waiting makes it all the better to release now with permission: ceo.ca/@Newton/the-un… 2/ The Unknown Geologist: When Osisko was drilling the property a few years back, they had a deal to take 50-70% of the company. They drilled it as a low-grade, high-tonnage open pit mine and weren't happy with the results.

1/ See another excerpt from the #NewtonInterviews with #TheUnknownGeologist and #BobMoriarty on the @Anaconda_Mining Goldboro Project recorded back on August 24, 2017! 2/ The Unkown Geologist: Back in 2000, when Orex did some follow-up work on it I reached out to them and said, "I can help." Then, I joined the Board. It was unfortunate that all the people on the Board didn't really know what they had.

1/ Thanks to #BobMoriarty and #TheUnknownGeologist for allowing me to publish a transcript of our first conversation on the Goldboro Project owned by @Anaconda_Mining! ceo.ca/@Newton/the-un… This interview was recorded back on August 24, 2017! 2/ Check out this excerpt from the interview:
