Pebble Mine and Anglo American Investment Advice
Posted in Investing & Finance, People, tagged Anglo American, invest, Pebble Mine, Tailings on April 16, 2012 | 6 Comments »
The original of this posting caused a stir. Rereading the posting, I can see why. So to any offended, I say sorry. In vino veritas. Nevertheless I edit, but stick to my original thesis: this is a rumination on investing, not engineering. So I write only about my investing thoughts, not about profound and difficult engineering isssues.

Mine Health & Safety as a Guide to Sound Investing
Posted in About the news, health and safety, Investing & Finance, North America, safety, tagged health and safety, hecla, invest, luck silver, mine on March 28, 2012 | 2 Comments »

Posted in Investing & Finance, Latin America, Tailings, tagged Chile, desalination, invest, mining, Tailings on March 27, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
A very simple answer to the question: why invest in mining in Chile? Mining is booming in Chile; they seem to have the right government; they have the resources; the climate is right for mines in the far north; and the big companies are all in play. (more…)
Why Invest in Australian Mining?

Right now it seems a no-brainer: invest in Australian mining. Well, maybe this is not good advice. According to a smart young Australian with whom I chatted this week, Australia is headed for decline, decay, and mining investment disaster. (more…)
Pebble Mine Investing at Your Peril
Posted in About the news, Gold, Investing & Finance, Mining history, tagged invest, Pebble Mine on February 22, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Pebble Mine and hence Anglo American may not be a prudent investment at present. I have been wrong before in predicting the rise and fall of mine share prices, so please do not take the following as investment advice. See this for what it is: the ruminations of cantankerous old blogger. (more…)

Posted in About the news, Gold, Investing & Finance, opera, People, Uranium, tagged argus metals, Gold, guyana, invest, kaituma, michael collins, Uranium on February 16, 2012 | 1 Comment »
The golden rule of investing in a junior mining company is to ask and satisfactorily answer the question: who owns & runs the company? In reality, investors go for juniors because their story is simple; the time-line to profit short; and there is something exotic & mysterious about their ore body. (more…)
