Mincor - Going to be an interesting half year report next month,AMP have now finished dumping, now not in top 20, as 3rd Jan, < than .48%.

Nickel back to over $19,000 a ton OZ and record production on it's way.

Ohhhh baby. IGO is flying over the last few days!! . Has been some great volume traded since the qtyly.
Someone taking a stake?

[Sid]

For such a quality company, IGO has been a sleeper. Good to see it run past $2.00.

[pago]

hi,holding both igo,up82% and mcr,breakeven,mcr will go up,cheers pago.

[tricha]

How things can change in such a short time, for better [8D] or worse [xx(]!

Well JBmeru, you have done extremely well sticking to AGM!

In fact IGO, JBM, SMY, WSA and now MCR are all breaking out.
Must be something about the nickel price approaching $20,000 OZ again, a few months ago it was looking pretty sick [xx(]

Five months ago I would not have given TTR, a look in, but with gold ramping from $500 to $740 an ounce for GOLD, who can ignore it.

IGO have some pretty interesting gold interests as well and do not write Mincor off in this aspect.

MCR - my view only

Will break out on their half yearly report, should be a great one like IGO

1 - production should be at least on target, for 13,000 tons.

2 - Costs should be going down, that drop in nickel 1st quarter should have had spurred action on spending, costs.
Also major spend over, harvesting.

3 - Nickel back over $19,000 a ton OZ

4 - AMP well and truely finished. Thank goodness for that, bacially I think their selling has put Mincors price, in a dark hole
From memory I think they literally dumped 17 million shares, in the last year.

Cheers [}][}]

Looked like a solid production report for MCR, 13000 tonnes on track, working on increasing resource estimates. The market liked it, MCR up 13% this month, and Ni almost $7.00/lb as destocking ends. Looking good for 80c again. Good calls Tricha.

Since stainless steel producers have been able to put their prices up they have been starting to restock their alloy inputs. Should keep nickel's price around $7+/lb for a while.
