Junior Mining Companies as Investment Opportunities
Posted in feasibilty studies, Uranium, tagged invest, junior, mining on November 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The past three days have been in Denver. My travels took me into the company of consultants to the financial side of the mining industry–those folk who consult to the titans of the industry who broker the mergers and take-overs, the resource estimations and high politics in world capital cities where the deals are [...]
Palin, Pebble Mine, gold nuggets, and the Alaska mining lobby
Posted in About the news, feasibilty studies, Gold, North America, People, tagged Alaska. Nome, gold nugget, Junea, mining, Palin, Pebble Mine on September 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Sarah Palin could well be our first woman president. That makes her every thought and act a valid topic for scrutiny. Nobody ever said being president was easy. Even if you have to debate contenders on Friday nights. Thus a new report out that Sarah Palin and family have been well lobbied by the Alaska [...]

This is a scary picture. Maybe it is the big bear that perturbs me. Maybe it is the crab. Would you decorate your house with such objects? I would not. But maybe we can decorate the nation’s capital thus? A change from Nancy Reagan’s new porcelain. Maybe it tells you that the owner/decorator loves nature. [...]
Canadian mining magazine outlies Pebble Mine opponents: the sustainability whitewash
Posted in feasibilty studies, Latin America, People, tagged Alaska, Ballot Measure 4, CIM, NANA, Obama, Pebble Mine, Red Dog, sustainable mining on August 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Two dumb headlines from the weekend. Both about mining. Both illustrate how respectable mining and political groups twist the truth to their advantage, and whitewash their acts with misleading verbiage. In this case I propose the biggest sinner is the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. In this instance they manage to be more [...]

Here is a link to a report issued by the Ontario Mining Association called The Economic Impacts of a ‘Representative Mine’ in Ontario. But first a picture of sunset over the Sifto Salt Mine–and you will need a grain of salt to read this report.
Virginia Tech, then Reno, then South Dakota as the winners of the SME students competition
Posted in feasibilty studies, North America, tagged California, competition, mining, quarry, Salt Lake City, SME, South Dakota School of Mines, Virginia Tech on February 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The rowdiest and most lively room this evening at the SME in Salt Lake City was the Student Mixer in the Hilton Hotel. The future leaders of the mining industry gathered to drink–and the drink lines were long–and talk. I wondered in as part of a small role CostMine had in supplying the students with [...]
