City Investors Circle Mining Review 6th March 2022

The war in Ukraine is causing price rises in most precious and base metals, as supply concerns dominate the markets.

Russia is a massive supplier of many critical metals, such as titanium alloy, nickel, platinum, palladium, coking and thermal coal, and these metals are experiencing price rises as consumers scramble to secure supply.

 

Mining news this week

Sadly the sanctions imposed against Russia have caused massive losses for some innocent investors due to either being located in Russia or associated with Russia. The companies that spring to mind are Petropavlovsk, Eurasia Mining, and in particular, Polymetal.

I feel for those people that suddenly saw their hard earned money melting away due to being in the wrong company at the wrong time, nothing to do with their investment decision based on the analysis of the company.

Ironically the London Stock Market had been courting Russian companies to list before the Ukraine conflict erupted.

What we should focus on is that metal that is produced by Russia, and whether a shortage of that metal will effect the supply chain?

Mining Review Sunday Update 27th February 2022

War in the Ukraine is dominating the markets, and one beneficiary has been gold, as it always in in times of crisis and uncertainty. The others are oil and natural gas.

With the FED now possibly looking for a .25% rate rise, rather than the mooted .5%, gold should receive an extra boost.

Russian produces a range of metals, including aluminium, nickel, palladium, and platinum.

Russia and Ukraine also produce around 90% of the world’s NEON GAS, used in semiconductors. Any disruption to supply here could cause car factories to close, as they need the semiconductors for their engine management systems.

Russia’s exports broken down by sector can be viewed here.

Let’s hope sanity prevails and the fighting stops.

 

This is a brief update as the full Monthly Review will be published on Monday.

Mining Review Sunday Update 20th February

Gold is the story of the week, or rather the 2% week on week increase in price to around $1,900, sadly due to political tensions that look set to escalate into violence in the Ukraine.

Mining Review Sunday Update 20th February 2022

.

Gold is the story of the week, or rather the 2% increase in price to around $1,900, sadly due to political tensions that look set to escalate into violence in the Ukraine.

Markets are rattled by the onset of war, and we can only hope that common sense will prevail, but it looks unlikely at this stage.

The big news of the week, apart from gold, is that the Chinese government are to try and control commodity prices to avoid speculation, and profiteering. Coking coal and iron ore have both fallen since the announcement.

Nickel has had a steady rise for the last year or so, but new exports from Indonesia may help to alleviate the shortages causing the price to rise.

Turning to the mining sector, Karora Resources is enjoying a strong rise on recent production results, and the high gold price of course. Cornish Metals continues to deliver newsflow for their copper / tin project in the UK.

Colonial Coal are holding above C$2 after the recent rise, due to the high price of metallurgical (coking) coal. Takeover rumours persist here.

Minera Alamos Director Doug Ramshaw purchased 50,000 shares of the company’s stock on Thursday, February 17th. The shares were purchased at an average cost of C$0.53  Doug now owns 6,381,200 shares of the company’s stock, valued at C$3,382,036.

Previously Doug had purchased 75,000 shares between the 11th and 14th of February. I always see it as positive when a director is buying shares in his own company, and these were sizeable amounts, around C$60,000 in value.
