City Investors Circle Mining Review 12th February
Gold fell back again for the third week on the trot, in a generally poor week for both the precious and industrial metals.
Silver, palladium, and platinum are all falling heavily, continuing a poor run over the last month.
Other heavy fallers are thermal coal, down 20% in a week and over 42% in a month, and cobalt, 6.72% in a week and 20.8% in a month.
I attended Indaba and the 121 Mining Forum in Cape Town, which is always a pleasure to attend due to its informality, imposed by the lovely weather, only the brave wear ties after the first hour or so!
Indaba was a formal mining trade show in an air conditioned building, with fortress style security outside ensuring the safety of those within. There were very few junior mining companies inside, but I didn’t stay long as there was little of interest to an investor.
I found one from the UK I was not even aware of, listed in London and actually mining gold in Nigeria! Thor Explorations (poor name for a producer) are in fact Nigeria’s only producing gold mine. Prima Facie it looks like a good company but clearly they aren’t promoting themselves yet.
