Gosh I say if you spy a pull back under 4.00 USD buy it. Good luck there.

[Clemdane]

Congratulations to all you guys who got in here before earnings! Do you think there will be a pullback for me to get in? Have I missed the boat? Any advice would be appreciated. This is my number one pick for my next stock purchase, but I don't want to get in too late. Thanks.

Wednesday March 28, 4:22 pm ET


763% Increase in Operating Cash Flow to Record $77.4 million


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 28, 2007 -- (All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated)
Rio Narcea Gold Mines, Ltd. ("Rio Narcea" or "the Company") (Toronto:RNG.TO - News)(AMEX:RNO - News) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2006.




2006 Highlights

- Record cash flow provided by operating activities of $77.4 million ($84.0 million before changes in components of working capital).

- Record revenues of $225.7 million, a 114% increase over 2005.

- Record net income of $70.7 million, after a loss of $37.8 million from derivatives and an income tax benefit of $20.4 million.

- $79.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at year-end.

- Production from Aguablanca of 14.1 million pounds of nickel and 14.6 million pounds of copper. Sales of 14.0 million pounds of nickel at a cash cost(a) of $4.23 per pound sold.

- Aguablanca plant operating at 140,000 tonnes per month with improved recoveries and concentrate grades.

- Aguablanca project debt fully repaid and production royalty repurchased for $6.0 million.

- Construction of Tasiast gold project on schedule for completion by mid-2007. Total capital expenditures of $79.0 million.

- Gold reserves at Tasiast increased 18% to 1,040,000 ounces.

- Tasiast project finance finalized in June 2006.

- Acquisition of a 19.9% shareholding in Chariot Resources Limited (17.1% acquired in second half of 2006, balance in January 2007).

- El Valle and CarlTs mines closed in December 2006 with minimum liabilities after producing 50,300 ounces of gold in 2006.

(a) Refer to Non-GAAP Measures Section in the MD&A.

"In 2006 we successfully transitioned Rio Narcea from a small, European gold producer to a very profitable international, polymetallic producer. Our Aguablanca nickel/copper mine generated a record $79.7 million of cash flow, with $35.0 million in the fourth quarter alone and recent drilling has revealed higher grade depth extensions to the Aguablanca orebody. Construction at our Tasiast gold project progressed well on schedule and is poised to produce gold by mid-2007. Tasiast will be the fourth mine we have constructed and brought to production in 10 years and the first outside the European Union. Our northern Spanish gold operations were successfully closed after producing one million ounces and our mine reclamation is viewed as an industry standard in Europe. These achievements bear testimony to our team's ability to discover, construct and operate mines," said Chris von Christierson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"In keeping with our growth strategy, we have now acquired a 19.9% interest in Chariot Resources, which holds a 70% interest in the Marcona copper project in Peru. We believe Marcona has potential for significant low cost copper production and, through our important stake in Chariot, Rio Narcea will support sound and effective management to realize this potential," he concluded.

2006 Financial Results

The financial information was prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Reference should be made to note 17 of the audited consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of significant differences between Canadian and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

For the year ending December 31, 2006, Rio Narcea generated net income of $70.7 million or $0.44 per share on revenues of $225.7 million. This compares to a net loss of $42.1 million ($0.27) per share-basic on revenues of $105.5 million in 2005.

Record cash provided by operating activities in 2006 was $77.4 million ($8.9 million in 2005), of which Aguablanca contributed $79.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents for 2006 improved to $79.8 million from $53.6 million in 2005. The Company continued to incur significant investing expenditures at Tasiast and repurchased the royalty at Aguablanca.

Fourth Quarter

During the fourth quarter of 2006 the Company generated a net income of $46.6 million or $0.29 per share on revenues of $65.9 million. This compares to a net loss of $12.4 million or ($0.08) per share on revenues of $34.1 million in the same quarter of 2005. Operating cash flow for the Company was $42.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, of which $35.0 million was

Rising nickel prices worry stainless steelmakers
India - 2007 March 19
Rising nickel prices and recently introduced duty changes are raising the worries of Indian stainless steel manufacturers, as soaring prices will hit their profit margins badly. N.C. Mathur, President, Indian Stainless Steel Development Association, informed Reuters that a rise in nickel prices from $26,000 per ton in 2006 to $36,000 per ton had shocked the industry.


A top industry official reported on January 31, 2007 that burgeoning global prices of nickel together with recently introduced reduced duty on a variety of finished metals would shrink the margins of Indian stainless steel manufacturers.


N.C. Mathur, President, Indian Stainless Steel Development Association, informed Reuters that a rise in nickel prices from $26,000 per ton in 2006 to $36,000 per ton had shocked the industry. Changes in duty of a number of commodities by the Indian government as a part of the move to check the rising inflation will make the imports more competitive, thereby adding to the manufacturing firms’ woes.


Mr. Mathur says, “Customers don't want to accept high prices in Asian markets and we have to absorb the price. That will hit the margins in the current quarter (January-March). The previous two quarters have been good".


The nickel industry has been responding to the news of disruptions at manufacturing sites and at inventory levels. A threatened strike at Xstrata, a major nickel producer in Canada that accounts for a mere over 4% of the global smelting capacity, has taken the prices higher.


About two-third of the total nickel output ( world ) is used in the manufacturing of stainless steel, and the industry demand is projected to surge by 7.5% this year. Almost 70% of the stainless steel products manufactured by Indian makers have a nickel content at a low 1-4%, but the price hike would still affect them greatly.


"One percent nickel accounts for $400 per ton in the final cost of making stainless steel at current nickel prices. So it is still very expensive," said Mathur.

Metals - Nickel, tin hit fresh all time highs amid dwindling supplies
03.16.07, 9:54 AM ET





LONDON (AFX) - Nickel and tin hit unprecedented highs as LME stocks fell again on the day.

Nickel has since backed off slightly alongside falls in most other industrial metals as a volatile week in markets worldwide comes to an end.

LME nickel for 3 month delivery hit a high of 48,500 usd earlier in the session, but retreated to 46,900 usd at 1.33 pm compared with yesterday's close of 47,100 usd.

Tin was up to 13,850 usd from 13,775 usd yesterday.

Nickel stocks stored in LME certified warehouses worldwide fell by 30 tonnes to 3,564 usd on the day, leaving less than a day's worth of the metal available to the market.

Tin inventories fell by a hefty 195 tonnes to 9,250 tonnes, said the LME in its daily report.

'It's the end of a long emotional week. Volumes (traded) this morning are a lot lower than they have been of late,' notes RBC Capital Markets analyst, Alex Heath.

He explained that with a high level of investors in the market, fuelling prices to high premiums, 'a technical correction is healthy.'

Nickel has hit new highs for most of this week with analysts calling for a test of the 50,000 usd level in the near future. However, some have pointed to a possible dip in demand which could ease prices.

'More and more anecdotal evidence indicates signs of demand resistance to high prices suggesting that a ceiling can't be far away,' said UBS (nyse: UBS - news - people ) analysts.

Tin prices rose as falling daily stocks outweighed reports that Indonesia, the world's second largest tin producer, pledged to maintain annual supply of 90,000 metric tons in a bid to stabilise prices.

Indonesian output in 2007 will be 28 pct lower than the 125,000 tonnes produced last year, said tin industry organisation ITRI.

In other metals, aluminium was down at 2,777 usd against 2,790 usd, copper was down at 6,500 usd against 6,540 usd, and lead was down at 1,887 usd compared with 1,915 usd at yesterday's close.

By the way Cnada this is sorta why I wish RNO would sell out its open position in CHD.

[Doug Hauser]

Whoa Nellie who let the big uglies in our sandbox. I was looking at 3.57 blinked and they'd knocked to my precious to 3.43.

[Doug Hauser]

And away we go. 3.54 printed and nickle to trade over 21 USD this week

[Doug Hauser]

3.50 print not too shabby today

[Doug Hauser]

I'd say you all can add as much as you can afford now. We are undervalued yet versus underlying metal px of 20 USD. And 4th q earnings soon

Nickel Gains in London After First Stockpile Decline in a Week

By Chanyaporn Chanjaroen

March 7 (Bloomberg) -- Nickel gained in London for a second day as the first decline in inventories in a week stoked speculation that a shortage of the metal will persist.

Stockpiles monitored by the London Metal Exchange dropped 4.3 percent to 3,648 metric tons, the LME said today in a daily report. That's less than two days of global consumption. The metal is mostly used to make stainless steel.

``The cupboard is bare,'' Nick Moore, a metals analyst at ABN Amro Holding NV in London, said in a telephone interview. Nickel is ``immune'' to declines of the magnitude metals such as copper and zinc have registered in the past year, he added.

Nickel for delivery in three months on the LME gained $1,600, or 4 percent, to $42,000 a ton as of 12:46 p.m. in London. The metal traded at a record $42,200 on March 1.

Nickel has more than doubled in the past year as demand from China, the world's largest user, expanded. Consumers have tapped stockpiles to plug a gap in production last year that Xstrata Plc, the world's fourth-largest nickel producer, estimated was 34,000 tons.

[Doug Hauser]

Trend is your friend. That lil accident was rectified and now wind in sails again. On the good ship nickle and gold eon

[Doug Hauser]

Sold a k by accident today. LOL I can still make it pay for me cause once I realized it was gone the px was already bit lower, added back. When you hot !!

[Doug Hauser]

Well as a Yank I find buying CHD a bit more troublesome than you do. So the RNO position which is liquid down here helps me to own it. Nevertheless I want to own Nickle first and see CHD as just a metal diversification for me.

[Rhubarb]

Ive held chariot for a year and a half now, and i sure think we deserve better than our current price, im willing to hold till 09 if necessary, We drill 24/7 Uli Rath Once said.
if rno can "cause by action" with their block of shares in chd a buyyout by anyone, id probly be interested....
but it feels short sighted with metals futures

[Doug Hauser]

I meant get out of Chariot at hefty gain is my advice.

[Doug Hauser]

I dont like too much at this point I think RNO should take their trading profits.

COMMODITIES

Nickel hits another benchmark
Staff

Nickel prices hit another record high yesterday, securing the metal's position as the best-performing commodity so far this year.

Nickel for delivery in three months climbed to $42,200 (U.S.) a tonne -- $19.14 a pound -- on the London Metal Exchange, before finishing at $41,500, up $105 from Wednesday's close, pushed by declining stockpiles and continued concerns about supply disruptions and delays in bringing major new mines on stream.

Metal Bulletin quoted one nickel trader yesterday as saying the cash price for the metal, a key component of stainless steel, could hit $50,000 a tonne. It already has risen to $45,335 from $33,540 this year.

The three-month futures contract for nickel has risen 24.22 per cent since the start of 2007, ranking it No. 1 in the commodities sweepstakes ahead of soybeans (22.02 per cent), pork bellies (14.55) and tin (14.25), according to Bloomberg News.

The record came as several analysts raised their price forecasts for the metal.

British metals consulting firm Brook Hunt is now pegging the 2007 price at $16.41 a pound, up from its previous forecast of $14.09, according to a report yesterday by TD Newcrest analyst Greg Barnes, who said he has raised his forecast to $14.50 from $11.90. Brook Hunt also has jacked up its 2008 forecast for nickel, to $16.93 from $14.15.

Analyst Fraser Phillips at RBC Dominion Securities Inc. also raised his forecasts for nickel prices yesterday -- to $16 a pound from $12.50 for this year and to $14 from $12.50 for 2008.

Asian Metals Market Update for 27th February, 2007


Posted Tuesday, 27 February 2007 |


Apart from precious metals, base metals have started rising over the past one week. Nickel hit a new record high on supply worries, lead scored a new peak, aluminum hit its best since last May and copper was firm on Asian demand.



3 month Nickel for delivery on the London Metal Exchange (LME) closed kerb trading at $41,300 after earlier trading up to $41,500. Strong demand from stainless steel mills, supply disruptions and project delays have boosted nickel prices, which have climbed nearly 70% since January 2006. Nickel inventories in LME warehouses stand at around 3,500 tonnes. But only about 1,880, around half a day's global consumption, are available to the market. Nickel prices will remain firm over the next twelve to eighteen months as global steel demand continues to rise.



Aluminium hit $2,905, the highest since May 18, 2006 but below its record high of $3,310. Technical break out further supported Aluminum prices with $3000 a possibility over the coming days. Traders have helped the price rise by buying aluminium futures to hedge the options they've sold. The existence of more than 9,100 outstanding contracts, more than 200,000 tonnes, to buy 3 month aluminium at $3,000 a tonne is likely to create more volatility in the run up to next week, when the contracts expire.



Copper has gained from than 17% from the lows on expectations of higher Chinese demand, apart from a technical break out and short covering. Copper will be higher but we do not expect February lows to be tested over the next two to three months. Copper will get competition from Aluminum as copper is being replaced by Aluminum in certain industries like electricity wires due to high copper prices.



Lead hit a new contract high of $1,955 a tonne. Falling lead stocks at around 31,900 tonnes from around 117,000 tonnes in June 2006, helped boost sentiment. Production problems in Australia resulting in the declaration of force majeure at a British refinery have encouraged speculative interest in the metal.



One common feature among the base metals that are creating historical records with passing of each day is that these metals have less variety and are easy to store. There is a speculative premium attached to the prices in these base metals. Copper does not have much variety and is not prone to corrosion or storage losses. Whereas steel has a large number of variety and is prone of storage losses. Therefore there is less hedge fund interest in steel and more in copper. Whenever there is change in investment interest, volatility in these metals will also rise. Short term investment in base metals will give excellent returns. However we prefer for investment in gold and silver for the medium term as well as long term investor considering the risk to reward ratio.



Gold and silver are trading with a firm bias and as long as the key technical support levels are held, the firm trend will continue as we move into March. Silver March future expiry will add to volatility in silver prices.

In some of the most recent news to surface surrounding Rio Narcea Gold Mines Ltd, which we feel may have had an effect on the day's success in the marketplace, as well as an ongoing effect on shareholder outcome, Rio Narcea Gold Mines Ltd. announced the results of the first five holes which were designed to test for extensions at depth of the main mineralized zone at the Aguablanca Deposit (Main Orebody). All five holes have intersected wide intervals of strongly disseminated, semi-massive as well as massive sulfide mineralization. These holes have been drilled perpendicular to the mineralized zone and confirm the connection between the "deep body" and the open pit mineralization. Additionally, they are all located in close proximity to the existing 2.7km decline which will facilitate both the next infill drilling program and future potential underground mining.

Rio Narcea Gold Mines Ltd. is a growing Canadian mineral resource company with operations, development projects and exploration activities in Spain, Mauritania and Portugal. The Company currently...To continue with the full report, more information and research please go to www.streetinvesting.com
