   Mining News – Sunday Roundup

Copper was the story of the week, with the LME reporting a large drawdown of some 65,000 tons from their warehouses in Europe and Asia, approximately 33% of approved stocks held!

This is due to supply concerns, which may be alleviated by the news that all Peruvian mines are now back online, and a strike at Chile’s largest copper mine, Escondida, has been averted after unions accepted a revised pay offer.

Stocks

A very positive week for precious metal miners as you would expect after the surge in gold and silver prices. Orla Mining (TSX: OLA) reached a new all time high, of over C$5 per share, as did Minera Alamos (TSC.V: MAI), at over 60c per share, and Fosterville South (TSX.V: FSX), is rising again and approaching it’s recent high.

ASX listed Gold Road Resources (ASX: GOR) reported a very solid set of quarterly results, and maintained full year guidance. Strangely, since announcing, the price of gold has risen, and GOR shares have fallen back, it’s a funny old game as the old saying goes.
