Nickel down about 15% in a week and could fall even lower as traders panic and sell. My guess is USD14000/tonne but the fundamentals still look good as stocks are still tight and the 5 year uptrend remains intact. In the meantime I'm waiting for JBM to fall back to below 600 and MCR below 60.

Hi Sec
Yes a big drop in the nickel price, with inventories staying the same, does not make sense .....
IGO about the only nickel stock going up yesterday with reasonable turn over.
Just like to point out - Chris Bonwick (CEO) said he would like to get production up to 15,000 tons and if you read closely to what he said in his last brief and were to match it to the last nickel find.
The Equation is a match
Also they pulled workers of harvesting to open up this new leg.
Also they advertised in the Kalgoorlie Miner for new staff in three different positions.
And this does not take into account the new find they will get when they finish the new decline.
Also IGO, as far as I am aware is the lowest cost nickel producer in OZ.
Mincor cheap at 63c yesterday, a bargin if you got in.
60 c would be a steal but I do not think it will go that low.
Tectonic Resources TTR, look good and have got excellent exposure to gold..(TTR went up 5.1% yesterday)
From [B)][}:)], who is really a cot case now, guess what, now live in Kalgoorlie and works at a nickel mine. [:o)][:o)]

I am with you both on JBM exited at $6.10 - can't believe it went to $7. A bit of waiting and seeing. Will jump back in if goes back to below $5.75 odd.

mining studies on NOA 2 deposit have already suggested total cash costs of less than $385 per ounce and low capital costs of about $1.5 million before generating postive cash flow-from resource stocks
TTR-now has a gold inventory of 850,750 ounces,
TTR-also have 64t copper,8.5moz silver,90,000t of lead,60,000t zinc
principally in two key deposits called Kundip and Trilogy.
JBMURC -now holds TTR;)
-
Yes TTR looking great JBmurc, but alas I can't have everything, but if gold was to go off, so say some people, TTR would explode.[:p][:p]
So if you believe in gold believe in TTR!:D:D
Nickel price stable.Inventories falling again which is great, lets hope they keep falling and price goes up again.
MCR great buying at 62.5c, IGO being well supported, same as SMY, WSA more great news, JBM going for it again.
Cheers [B)][}:)]
-
IGO been in demand over the last few days
Often had troble getting through 1.40
Will be interesting if it can break out of this range

-AGM-Tollhurst has just released a note on AGM valuing at 19c+
AGM-trucked ore thru the Hellyer mill during June. Another trial is planned for July and August and they plan to use the mill for commercial production shortly afterwards;)
-great way to pay for the new mill at avebury;)
great for shareholders, my pick 18-20c by years end
JBMURC-holds AGM

Hi JB
Good little nickel stock AGM...not holding but i wish them all the best particularly as I own Intec shares...which of course owns the Hellyer mill :D

Hi folks
Yes AGM is interesting, worth a go.
I will stick with IGO and MCR. Expect to get reasonable dividend from both of these for 2005 year end.
And heaps of upside.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Can IGO break out of it's $1.40 David Hardman, we will see very shortly, is all I will say.
Expect IGO to announce on MRX very soon.
JBmurc did you buy into TTR, as you say it looks a great company, but the gold price scares me, but things can change fast. If gold goes up it will be a steal!
JBM, WSA look at them go, imm! Can't have them all.[:p][:p]
Cheers [B)][}:)]

Well, AMP has done it again, thought so, dumped MCR shares. Crashed the price from 72c down to 62c virtually overnight.
3rd time this has happened
To me, this represented great buying opportunity, brings the fear and greed out in a player!
I wonder if they will buy them back again when the yearly wrap up is done, around 25th August, after they announce a solid 5c a share dividend[?][?]on a 69c share.
With even better to follow next year[:p][:p]
Time will tell and sooner than later! Great little company and a great future and no debt!

P.S The cheque will be going into paying of property - do not keep all your eggs in the one basket.
