$Nevada Copper Provides Update on Accelerating Stope Production and Ramp-Up Progress and Announces Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
T.NCU, (NEVDD)
YERINGTON, Nev., Oct. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
$Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX: NCU) (OTC: NEVDD) (“Nevada Copper” or the “Company”) today provided a further update on positive September operational performance at the Company’s underground mine at its Pumpkin Hollow Project (the “Underground Mine”). In addition, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Randy Buffington as President and Chief Executive Officer, further strengthening its senior management team as operational productivity and production ramp-up at the Underground Mine.
September Operational Highlights
Higher Copper Production: Copper in concentrate produced during September increased by 265% compared to August driven by higher stope production. Approximately 30,386 tons of ore were processed yielding 682 tons of concentrate at an average grade of 22%, resulting in approximately 150 tons of copper production.
Improved rate of stope turnover: Stoping has accelerated significantly since mid-August, with the second and third stope panels fully mined and a fourth stope panel expected to be mined this week. Further stopes are planned in October and November, and the high-grade Sugar Cube zone is also expected to begin to be mined during Q4.
Increasing Development Rates: September saw the highest monthly development footage achieved since April 2021, with a 12% increase over August. Development activities included completion of the crossing of the water bearing dike, accessing additional stoping zones and installation of development infrastructure. A total of approximately 750 lateral equivalent feet was advanced in September.
Mike Brown, outgoing Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I am very pleased to see the improved trajectory in our production ramp-up and a recovery in productivities. The increased ore production was a key objective for September, and together with the improving productivities on site, along with the ongoing management strengthening, provide further confidence in the mine ramp-up.”
Management Update
Randy Buffington will join Nevada Copper as President and Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect. With extensive experience in underground and open pit mining operations, both in Nevada and internationally, Mr. Buffington has successfully delivered multiple project ramp-ups and productivity improvements in an underground setting, in addition to overseeing the development and operation of multiple large open pit projects. Most recently at Hycroft Mining, he was responsible for the operational reforms, successfully executing a project turnaround and delivering significant shareholder value as President and Chief Executive Officer. Previously, he held various senior management positions with Barrick from 2003 to 2012, overseeing North American and Zambian operations. He also held senior management positions with Placer Dome and Cominco.
Mr. Buffington brings a deep industry network in Nevada and a strong track record of value delivery in both operating underground mines and large open pit projects, ideally positioning him to lead Nevada Copper towards the delivery of steady state production from its Underground Mine and realizing the full potential of its fully-permitted open pit project and extensive landholdings within the Yerington Copper District.
“The addition of Mr. Buffington further strengthens the Company’s senior management team and provides deeply experienced, long-term leadership as the Company moves to complete the ramp-up of the Underground Mine and go on to maximize the full value of its open pit project and exploration targets,” stated Stephen Gill, Chairman of Nevada Copper.
“I look forward to working with the team at Nevada Copper as we continue to push and improve productivity and accelerate our transition into a commercial producer,” stated Randy Buffington, President and CEO of Nevada Copper. “There is a tremendous foundation to build on at Pumpkin Hollow and I am pleased to be leading the Company towards realizing its full potential as a mid-tier copper producer.”
Mike Brown will step down as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and continue his active involvement and oversight through his ongoing role as director.
“On behalf of the Company, I would like to thank Mike Brown for his commitment as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, and I look forward to his continued active involvement going forward,” stated Mr. Gill.

Prices have risen less sharply, up 28% in the past year compared with 62% for copper. Demand for aluminum in power grid infrastructure is estimated to reach 7.6-million metric tons by 2050, according to BNEF.

China Wants a Made-in-China Copper Price
Bloomberg
Clara Ferreira Marques
,Bloomberg•November 15, 2020
https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/c1rBekQIwH6CAqSd3bsjXg--~B/aD0yMDIwO3c9MzAwMDtzbT0xO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u/
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- China’s next move to open up its commodities markets may be a step change.
As of Thursday, overseas investors will be able to trade copper futures on the Shanghai International Energy Exchange. It’s not the first such product: A yuan-denominated crude oil contract, launched in March 2018, has been modestly successful. A subsequent push to let foreigners trade iron ore in Dalian established a global benchmark. Copper could outshine these efforts, thanks to fortuitous timing, global appetite for an economic bellwether and the sheer clout of the world’s largest consumer.
The ambition is clear. Beijing wants increased pricing power in the commodities markets it dominates, specifically when the country imports that ingredient. It no longer wants to be just a price taker. China also wants to bolster use of the yuan for transactions overseas, part of a sputtering, long-term strategy to raise the profile and influence of the currency. At the same time, the government wants domestic companies to do more to hedge against volatility. Allowing foreigners to trade oil and iron ore — along with rubber, low-sulfur fuel oil and purified terephthalic acid or PTA, a petrochemical derivative — goes some way toward all of that.
Copper promises to be an even bigger advance. The metal is a key indicator for an economy that has recovered faster than the rest of the world from the coronavirus. While there is an existing contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, intended for local traders, the new one, traded on subsidiary INE, will be open to foreigners. The contract size is the same, but this one will exclude tax and customs duty, and will be delivered into bonded warehouses, helping it compete actively with the London Metal Exchange.
Benchmarks are hard to create, as the oil market shows. Initiatives to shift away from established U.S. dollar contracts, such as Urals crude on the St. Petersburg exchange, have faltered. Shanghai’s yuan-based contract is the country’s first, and perhaps most dramatic, endeavor in international futures markets. While performing relatively well, it hasn’t become an indispensable benchmark or caught up with Brent and West Texas Intermediate in volume, let alone in open interest, the number of futures contracts outstanding. A worrying spread that opened up in the spring, suggesting a distorted market, has now rebalanced.

against a currency basket and stock markets rallied, while
platinum hit 3-1/2 month highs -
A breach of chart resistance for gold at $1,630 an ounce, which

CALVF N/R is GREAT COPPER NEWS - CALVF's NAMA
found a very RICH COPPER ORE BODY - Nama Base Metal Project, Zambia: Project Update
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 9, 2012) -
Caledonia Mining Corporation
(the "Company") (TSX:CAL)(OTCQX:CALVF)(AIM:CMCL) is pleased
to provide an update on the progress at its
Nama Base Metal Project in Zambia.
The first phase of the 2012 drilling programme at
the Nama base metals project in Zambia - which was described in
a News Release dated March 12, 2012 -
commenced in March 2012 on
the Konkola East target area.
This phase comprised six holes and approximately 2,400 metres of
diamond drilling and had the objective of finding an upward
extension, closer to surface of the mineralised zone identified
in the 2011 drilling programme.
This drilling programme has now been extended into Phase 2 and
a total of 12 holes and approximately 4,970 metres of
drilling have been completed.
13 of the 18 holes drilled intersected
meaningful mineralisation.
The identified zone was intersected at depths ranging from
80 metres to 580 metres below surface and
the distance between the drill holes was between 100 metres and
500 metres.
The results from the drilling completed to date confirm the
existence of a mineralised zone which has the following
characteristics:
estimated weighted average copper grade of samples of 0.52%;
an estimated mineralised thickness of 10 to 27 metres;
the mineralisation extends from surface to a depth of
at least 580 metres;
a strike length of at least 1,300 metres and
a dip extent of 900 metres; and
this mineralised zone remains open at depth and to the west.
Further work, which is estimated to entail 10 holes and
approximately 2,100 metres of drilling, has already commenced
with the objectives of identifying a possible westerly
extension to the mineralised zone and improving the confidence
level of the resource data.
This work will take approximately five months to complete,
subject to the onset of rains in the last two months of the
year.
Dr. Pearton, BSc. Eng. (Mining Geology), PhD (Geology), and
the Fellow of the Geological Society of South Africa,
is Caledonia's VP Exploration and its "Qualified Person"
for the Nama project and has reviewed the information in
this update.
Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
Information included in this release constitutes forward-looking
statements. There can be no assurance that future exploration
will identify mineralisation that will prove to be economic,
that anticipated metallurgical recoveries will be achieved,
that future evaluation work will confirm the viability of
deposits that may be identified or that required regulatory
approvals will be obtained.

Phase 1 programme results.
The costs of these drilling programmes will be fully funded
from current cash resources.
Commenting on these exploration results, Stefan Hayden,
Caledonia's Chief Executive Officer and President said:
"The 2011 drilling programme at Nama identified a new and very
exciting aspect to Nama.
What we have found differs markedly in mineralisation style to
other properties in the region in that the zone we have
identified occurs in an atypical Copperbelt setting and
occurs in rocks overlying the Ore Shale.
This zone of mineralisation occurs at relatively shallow depth
relative to the depth of the Ore Shale in the area and possibly
extends to surface.
A sufficiently large, near-surface resource depth may therefore
provide the basis for a future open-pit mining operation.
"The 2012 exploration programme will commence as soon as the rains and ground condition allow during the second quarter. The results should allow us to confirm and further refine our model of Nama's geology and copper resources potential. Caledonia has sufficient cash to complete the 2012 exploration programme and intends to manage its cash resources so that it can undertake further work at Nama without raising new equity."
Background to the Nama Project
Caledonia holds four, contiguous large scale mining licences
covering approximately 800 square kilometres on
the Zambian Copperbelt.
The northern boundary of Caledonia's licenced area is the
DRC border and the eastern boundary abuts the licence area
that is held by a joint venture between Vale and
African Rainbow Minerals where a new copper mine is
currently under construction.
Prior to the 2011 programme, exploration activities had defined
three main styles of mineralization in the Nama Licence area:
a) "A-type" cobalt oxide mineralisation;
b) "D-type' iron oxide bodies which are mostly enriched in Cobalt; and
c) Copper dominated ore shale hosted copper-cobalt
mineralisation, commonly observed elsewhere in
the Copperbelt and which is being exploited by neighbouring
mines to the east and south of the Nama Licence Areas.

Nama Copper/Cobalt Exploration Project, Zambia: Summary of Results of the 2011 Exploration Programme and Outline of the 2012 Exploration Programme
TORONTO, March 12, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ -
Caledonia Mining Corporation
(the "Company") (TSX: CAL) (OTCQX: CALVF) (AIM: CMCL) is
pleased to announce the results summary of the 2011
exploration programme at its Nama Copper/Cobalt Project in
Zambia and outline the exploration programme for 2012.
Highlights
The results from the 2011 drilling programme demonstrate a
new and very exciting aspect to the Nama Copper/Cobalt Project
A new mineralised copper zone has been identified
Estimated weighted average copper grade - 0.47%
Estimated weighted average thickness - 41 metres
Intersected depths of between 280 and 450 metres
A sufficiently large, near-surface resource up-dip from the
existing drill holes may provide the basis for a future open-
pit mining operation
The 2012 exploration programme will now commence as soon as
possible and will include the following three phases of
drilling:
Phase 1: 2,400 metre drill programme to explore for potential
shallower up-dip continuation of the new mineralised zone to
surface
Phase 2: 6,000 metre drill programme to explore for potential
deeper down-dip continuation of the new mineralised zone
Phase 3: A possible resource drilling programme to quantify the
shallower up-dip resources.
This phase cannot be finalised at this stage as the scope of
this programme is entirely dependent on the evaluation of the
Phase 1 programme results.
The costs of these drilling programmes will be fully funded
from current cash resources.
Commenting on these exploration results, Stefan Hayden,
Caledonia's Chief Executive Officer and President said:
"The 2011 drilling programme at Nama identified a new and very
exciting aspect to Nama.

Background to the Nama Project
Caledonia holds four, contiguous large scale mining licences covering approximately 800 square kilometres on the Zambian Copperbelt. The northern boundary of Caledonia's licenced area is the DRC border and the eastern boundary abuts the licence area that is held by a joint venture between Vale and African Rainbow Minerals where a new copper mine is currently under construction.
Prior to the 2011 programme, exploration activities had defined three main styles of mineralization in the Nama Licence area:
a) "A-type" cobalt oxide mineralisation;
b) "D-type' iron oxide bodies which are mostly enriched in Cobalt; and
c) Copper dominated ore shale hosted copper-cobalt mineralisation, commonly observed elsewhere in the Copperbelt and which is being exploited by neighbouring mines to the east and south of the Nama Licence Areas.
2011 Exploration Programme
The 2010 exploration programme identified two resource targets at Nama (being "Konkola East" and "Kafwira") which were characterised as belonging to the ore shale-hosted copper-cobalt style of mineralisation. The 2011 programme was focussed on Konkola East where a four-hole diamond drilling programme was carried out with the primary objective of confirming the existence of Ore Shale member of the Copperbelt stratigraphy. The results of this programme confirmed the existence of Ore Shale in all holes. The Ore Shale intersection in holes 1 & 2 was at depths and copper grades that do not merit further exploration at this stage. Evaluation of the drill core extracted from holes 3 and 4 identified a zone of mineralisation which occurs at considerably shallower depths than the Ore Shale and does not occupy a specific stratigraphic layer as would be expected. Assays of the mineralised zones identified in holes 3 and 4 were sufficiently encouraging to warrant a fifth hole being drilled in late 2011 and which also intersected the newly identified mineralised zone.
Preliminary Evaluation of the Results of the 2011 Drilling Programme
The new mineralised zone identified in holes 3, 4 and 5 is considered to be a contiguous zone. The assay results for the three intersections have a weighted average of 0.47% copper over a weighted average width of 41 metres at depths of between 280 and 450 metres. Holes 3 and 4 are approximately 1,650 metres apart representing a minimum strike length of the mineralisation. The interpreted structure of the mineralised zone suggests that the zone may extend to surface within the Nama Licence.
Although the copper grades of the newly identified zone are lower than existing mines in the region, the zone is relatively shallow and the ore mineralogy appears particularly suited to low-cost metallurgical processing.
2012 Exploration Programme
Caledonia's Board has reviewed the results of the 2011 exploration programme and the recommendations of management and has approved an exploration programme for Nama in 2012 which has the following objectives:
Phase 1: drilling of additional holes comprising approximately 2,400 metres with the objective of identifying a continuation of the newly discovered mineralized zone towards surface. This phase of the exploration programme is expected to start as soon as ground/weather conditions permit and results for this work are expected 4 to 5 months thereafter.
Phase 2: drilling of additional holes comprising approximately 6,000 metres with the objective of identifying the nature of a deeper continuation of the above mineralised zone. This work will take place after completion of Phase 1 and is expected to take approximately 8 to 10 months.
Phase 3: Provided the results of the Phase 1 programme are positive, a drilling programme focussed on delineating and evaluating resources compliant with NI43-101 will be presented to the Caledonia Board for approval prior to possible commencement. This Phase may commence during Phase 2 activities.
Substantial additional exploration work may be required in future years to arrive at a NI43-101 compliant resource statement.
Caledonia has sufficient cash resources to cover all of the exploration costs for 2012. Caledonia intends to manage its cash resources so that it retains the financial capacity to progress this project as far as possible without requiring third party involvement or equity funding.
Dr Pearton, BSc Eng. (Mining Geology), PhD (Geology), and Fellow of the Geological Society of South Africa, is Caledonia's VP Exploration and a "Qualified Person" as defined by NI43-101. Dr Pearton consents to the inclusion in the release of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
Information included in this release constitutes forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that future exploration will identify mineralisation that will prove to be economic, that anticipated metallurgical recoveries will be achieved, that future evaluation work will confirm the viability of deposits that may be identified or that required regulatory approvals will be obtained.

Im still very bullish
Copper back under $4.00 now. Will not last long I would think.
We could see $5.00 be the end of this year. The trend is still up so buy on the dips. Thats my guess.
What are the thoughts on the price of copper over the next year? My company buys large amounts of magnet wire and I'm wondering if we should purchase large quantities now.
Loading CNYC, huge potential as it will be listed also on the TSX shortly, currently on the OTC only, billions of copper in the ground
The move up continues! Unbeliveable. Load up on the minning companys!
Giddy Up, 4.42 a pound !!!
A Single Trader, JP Morgan, Holds 90% Of LME Copper
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/21/2010 21:43 -0500
http://www.zerohedge.com/article/single-trader-jp-morgan-holds-90-lme-copper
When a week ago we reported that JP Morgan has denied it owned more than 90% of the copper positions on the LME, we suggested that this could very well mean that Blythe Master's firm could just as easily control 89.999% of the copper and still not misrepresent the truth per that non-commital press release. Turns out our unbridled cynicism was spot on as usual. The Wall Street Journal has just reported that in the copper market "a single trader has reported it owns 80% to 90% of the copper sitting in London Metal Exchange warehouses, equal to about half of the world's exchange-registered copper stockpile and worth about $3 billion." Oh and yes, while JP Morgan technically is not singled out, we will be delighted to issue a retraction the second JP Morgan approaches us with a refutation that it is not the trader in question. And while we are at it, we also will repeat our claim that it was indeed JP Morgan that reduced its massive silver position, as per the recent FT article: as above we will immediately issue a retraction and apologize should JPM's legal department contact us that we are wrong on this. Somehow we don't think that will be an issue. And so it is once again made clear that the biggest market manipulating cartel in the world is not only JPM's commodity trading operation, but the "regulators" at the CFTC, who are doing all they can do to delay implementing rules on position limit- a stalling tactic whose sole purpose is to make the life of Jamie Dimon as comfortable as possible while he corners the copper market (and offloads his PM shorts to some "foreign bank"), even if that means the complete collapse in faith in the commodity market. Presumably, this means that Mr. Gensler has received an outsized Christmas gift to assuage his conscience. As for the commodity market, well, just look at what has happened to the stock market now that everyone knows it is nothing but a house of cards scam where a few robots front run each other. We are confident to quite confident tomorrow's ICI report will confirm that 33rd consecutive outflow from domestic equity funds. It is a pity that the same fate will now happen to the commodities market, as everyone tells Gensler to shove his corrupt market, and moves to physical. Frankly, it couldn't happen to a nicer group of so-called regulators.
From the WSJ:
Copper soared to a new record of $4.2705 per pound on Tuesday in New York, and is up 28.3% this year. The LME's three-month copper contract closed at $9,353.50 a metric ton, up 1.6% on the day, a new record.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. recently had a large position in copper, though it is unclear whether the U.S. bank increased its holdings, or whether a new player has taken dominant position.
"Regardless of who owns it, the only thing of note here is that we are being told that one person has a substantial position," said David Threlkeld, president of Resolved Inc., a metals consultancy.
While commodities exchanges scrutinize all holdings to ensure a single player isn't trying to corner the market, and many of the positions are owned by big firms on behalf of clients, the large holdings do result in a concentration of ownership that could skew prices.
Please keep the bolded text in mind, as you read the following description of the idiocy spewed on TV tonight, via the Street:
"Everything that goes up is not a bubble," Jim Cramer told the viewers of his "Mad Money" TV show Tuesday, as he reminded viewers that the laws of supply and demand have not been replaced by the law of gravity.
Cramer said he's had enough with the skeptics keeping investors from making real money in stocks, and especially in commodities. He said it's OK to be skeptical sometimes, but being skeptical about everything will only hurt your portfolio.
Case in point, the commodities. Cramer said the last big rally in commodities like copper and oil was indeed driven by a hedge fund frenzy, but this time is different. This time, he said, commodities are being driven higher by real demand, by the fact that the world is growing, and there's an inability to find new raw materials fast enough.
In other words: per Cramer, the story broken by the WSJ is just fabulation and JPM's 90% lock of the copper market is as indication of proper supply/demand dynamics. Because, in some parallel universe, JP Morgan controlling 90% of the market is real demand...
You read that right.
And this person is on TV, advising lemmings how to throw their money into a ponzi which nobody even pretends to hide.
That said, we are not worried about Cramer: following the next market crash, which is coming, after his termination from what is left of CNBC, he will make millions selling his latest book written in second grade friendly-English, titled "This time, I promise, it is different." With a subtitle:" Trust me - I was on TV...in spite of my atrocious Nielsens rating."
Chile’s Collahuasi copper mine halts shipments
Force majeure declared at world’s third largest copper mine

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Chile’s giant Collahuasi copper mine, the world’s third largest, has halted shipments indefinitely following an accident at the mine’s ore shipping terminal.
News that the mine had declared force majeure Monday raced through the global metals market Tuesday, sending March copper futures to a record close of $4.28 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, a 1.7% advance from Monday’s settlement.
Force majeure is invoked when a company cannot meet its contractual obligations due to circumstances beyond its control, in this case its ability to ship copper ore concentrate.
Mine officials said the mishap had not affected Collahuasi’s actual mining operations, but that they are scrambling to find some other way to ship stockpiled copper concentrate from the facility after a shiploader at the Punta Patache port collapsed, reportedly killing three workers. They said they did not know how long shipments would be suspended. Separately, a port official told Reuters it could take at least a month to repair the damaged loading station.
Collahuasi mine is owned by Anglo American PLC /quotes/comstock/23s!e:aal (UK:AAL 3,260, +118.00, +3.76%) and Xstrata PLC /quotes/comstock/23s!a:xta (UK:XTA 1,504, +48.50, +3.33%) .
It was not clear how long it would take to resume copper concentrate shipments from the facility.
Copper $4.12 a pound! Looking for good minning companies to get into!
$3.75 copper. Should come back to 4 soon.
$4.00 copper did not last long. I think it will still bounce back again soon.
Yes! Minning stocks are the best plays now!
Yup - 4 is long term resistance but with the strike in South America at the copper mine (worlds largest??) we could break that resistance.
Good luck
