Q: I sent you a question on CMMC and right after that I started to read up on TKO which is a very similiar sized, low grade Canadian copper miner. The difference is TKO is on the way to a second copper mine in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction (Still waiting for a final permit) while CMMC just sold off their chance to TKO still has debt although they seem to have most of the capital required to build the second mine. TKO also gets credit for having a lot of moly with their copper while CMMC has more silver and gold by products. Moly prices have gone up substantially but then again gold and silver having been doing well. For 2023 TKO has about 70 per cent of their production hedged at $3.75 (Collars??) so even if copper prices tank in 2023 (doubtful) they should cash flow at their BC mine whereas CMMC is struggling to cash flow in BC. So what do you prefer, CMMC, TKO or some other copper play? I vaguely remember moly $ to be very cyclical. I know moly is only a by-product of TKO's copper mining but if you can comment on that it would be appreciated.

Q: As a CMMC shareholder I am interested in your comments on the takeover by HBM. I am down on CMMC but it was my only copper investment and I was holding for a copper recovery. Do you think it best to stick with HBM or sell and buy another copper stock such as Capstone?

Q: Copper Mountain Mining had a miserable time mining the last few quarters, that reduced tonnes mined, grades down, costs up and cost per lb of copper produced way up. But they have had success in selling their exploration property in Australia ( sold to Harming Gold for $170 plus another possible $60 in the future.) That brings CMMC net debt down to a low level but it makes them a single mine mining company albeit in a Tier 1 mining district. They also have new CEO stepping in on April 24 and Mr. Merrin seems to have good experience (HBM, Gold Corp, diamond mining). So the last few quarters for CMMC have been disasters, but what about the future? Earnings come out soon and I don't expect them to be great but maybe it will be the last of stinky earnings. What is your take on this single asset Canadian copper miner? Do you think the incoming CEO is the right guy to turn this miner around? I only want a copper miner in my portfolio that does okay with lower copper prices and if copper does shoot up then it does even better.

Q: Hello Gentlemen

I am quite bullish on gold over the next while. I own AEM which is up 23 % KRR which is up 38% and KNT which, believe it or not is down 5%.

My question is should I continue to hold KNT which has proven to be a real laggard in the space and whose price is down over the past year despite the metal surging.

If you think I should hold on to it please tell me why. If you think there are better options with better upside please let me know in priority of how strong you feel.

Thanks


Sheldon

Q: Hope you all had a great Easter Weekend.

With the need for more rare earths are there any Canadian companies that standout to capitalize on this coming demand? To my understanding China has 80%+ market share and control of these types of materials and 44% of world reserves within their boarders.

Q: Hello. What are your thoughts on these two? Can you details their metals production percentages? Between the two, which would you invest in and why? I hold both but am considering dumping FCX and putting the proceeds to IVN. I’m interested in upside.

Q: I stumbled upon I-80 gold because I have Equinox Gold EQX and Equinox just sold a bunch of shares of I-80 and reduced their ownership of I-80 from around 25 per cent to just under 20 per cent. EQX's selling of a block of shares drove down the share price and I took that as a buying opportunity. I believe EQX sold the block of shares not because they don't believe in I-80 but because they are short of $ for their capital projects for the next 18 months. What's your take on the motives for EQX reducing their ownership in I-80? What is your general impression of I-80? Lots of potential or lots of smoke and mirrors? There is hope that I-80 MIGHT have a porphyry at depth since there is a major anomaly from a geophysics survey. Is a porphyry find that big of a deal? The anomaly I believe is below the archimedes open pit? If a good ore body is found at depth from an existing open pit I take that as a good thing since they don't have to sink a much shaft for skipping and ventilation? Then again I am not a miner, but just a guy with time to read and who has an a good Internet connection!! You guys are the knowledgeable ones about mining.
