Yanik, I am hoping you're still holding TC. I have been following it for 7+ years (read about it in Jim Jubak's Picks MSN article). When steel started to come back MOLY responded well but TC continued to consolidate. This company was so not followed and MO (molybdenum is required for the more expensive steel). The Nov 27th message about TC's first consentrate shipment (about the time you added) was good insight. I finally will make some money today after all these years (I have own lost a little then bailed over this time). I just wish you well and hope you were able to see that it was only a matter of time.

Looks like another insider transaction happened yesterday.

I'm definitely thinking of picking up some shares once closing out one of my holdings in the next bit, but can't seem to bring myself to catch a falling knife. Anyone have an idea of why the price has been dropping with what seem to me like solid fundamentals?

[Yanik]

Bought back my position in TC that I had earlier on in the year.

Anyone have any thoughts on what you think the new mine can do for the ROI next year?

$TC - Thompson Creek Metals Company Provides Mt. Milligan Update and Reports Solid Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/thompson-creek-metals-company-provides-210000099.html

... "DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Aug 7, 2013) - Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. (NYSE: TC) (TSX: TCM) (the "Company" or "Thompson Creek"), a growing, diversified North American mining company, today provided a commissioning update for its Mt. Milligan project and announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"). All dollar amounts are in United States ("US") dollars unless otherwise indicated. References to C$ refer to Canadian dollars.

Mt. Milligan

Commissioning of all major equipment in the mill is underway and progressing on schedule. The primary crusher and conveyor have been commissioned, the coarse ore stockpile has been bedded, and the mine is positioned to deliver ore to the crusher. A phased start-up of the concentrator is expected to commence early this month, with the first ore feed expected to occur by mid-August and concentrate production expected to commence shortly thereafter. All of the concentrator grinding and flotation circuits are expected to be operational in September.

Kevin Loughrey, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are extremely pleased to report that the commissioning of the new mill is progressing and that start-up is expected within the next several days. Our employees and contractors have been working diligently to keep the project on schedule for a start-up this month and we are only days away from achieving this major milestone. Once start-up has commenced, we expect commercial production to begin in the fourth quarter of this year, followed by a twelve-month ramp up period to full design production and recovery."

Second Quarter 2013 Highlights (compared to the same period in 2012, unless noted)

Operational:

Molybdenum production from the mines increased 58% to 6.5 million pounds, compared to 4.1 million pounds.
Average cash costs of molybdenum produced decreased 49% to $7.46 per pound, compared to $14.57 per pound.
Total sales of molybdenum increased 29% to 9.7 million pounds, compared to 7.5 million pounds.

Financial:

Operating income was $17.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $18.4 million.
Consolidated revenue was $117.8 million, compared to $113.5 million.
Cash flow from operations was $45.2 million, compared to operating cash used of $20.4 million.

Net loss totaled $19.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $14.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 included $34.8 million non-cash foreign exchange losses on intercompany notes and an income and mining tax expense of $2.0 million, partially offset by operating income of $17.2 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 included a non-cash foreign exchange loss of $7.9 million and an operating loss of $18.4 million, partially offset by an income and mining tax benefit of $10.8 million.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $13.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share (excluding the non-cash impact of foreign exchange losses, net of tax benefits, primarily related to intercompany notes), compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $10.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share (excluding the non-cash impact of foreign exchange losses, net of tax benefits, primarily related to intercompany notes).

"We are pleased to have ended the quarter with continued improvement in operational performance at both the Thompson Creek and Endako Mines, which resulted in increased production and sales, and significantly lower cash costs, compared to the second quarter of 2012," said Mr. Loughrey. "During these volatile times in the commodities markets, we continue to look for ways to reduce costs and improve efficiencies."

At the Thompson Creek Mine, molybdenum production for the second quarter of 2013 increased 74% to 4.4 million pounds at a cash cost of $5.33 per pound produced, compared to 2.5 million pounds at a cash cost of $13.46 per pound produced for the second quarter of 2012. Production for the second quarter of 2013 was favorably impacted by higher grade ore, which resulted in higher recovery and production, and cash costs for the second quarter of 2013 were favorably impacted by the absence of stripping costs related to the next phase of mining. Lower-of-cost-or-market product inventory write downs at the Thompson Creek Mine were nil and $6.6 million during the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At the Endako Mine, in which the Company has a 75% ownership interest, the Company's share of molybdenum production for the second quarter of 2013 increased 34% to 2.1 million pounds at a cash cost of $11.93 per pound produced, compared to 1.6 million pounds at a cash cost of $16.37 per pound produced for the second quarter of 2012. These improvements were primarily the result of the higher ore grades from the mined stockpile material and higher recoveries. Based on its 75% ownership interest, the Company recognized lower-of-cost-or-market product inventory write downs at the Endako Mine of $8.3 million and $10.0 million during the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2012, in an effort to reduce costs at the Endako Mine, the Company ceased mining ore from the Denak West pit and has been processing stockpiled material. Approximately one-third of the existing stockpiled material has been milled through mid-2013. The Company resumed mining ore in the Endako pit in May 2013 and in the Denak West pit in June 2013, and is now processing two-thirds of material from fresh ore and one-third from stockpiled material. In part as a result of mining fresh ore, for the month of July throughput averaged 51,000 tons per day and recoveries averaged 75%. Management expects to continue optimizing production at Endako and may undertake additional cost savings and other measures at Endako in response to molybdenum market conditions.

The Company's sales of molybdenum for the second quarter of 2013 increased 29% to 9.7 million pounds, at an average realized sales price of $11.60 per pound, compared to 7.5 million pounds, at an average realized sales price of $14.55 per pound, for the second quarter of 2012." ...

[SwingKing]

Well yesterday did go exactly to plan but that's Wall Street. We've seen this happen over and over this year so it's nothing new and nothing to get excited about. Let's see what happens with metals today and adjust fire from there. Good Luck Today.

[SwingKing]

Updated Chart

[SwingKing]

TC put in a honest effort today and closed over the 50 day. Bullish sign for sure. Gold headed higher after some early weakness and TC followed right behind. I'll post a new chart in the morning. So far so good.

[Dr. King Schultz]

Thanks for the analysis.
Very good start today, 3.15 currently!

[SwingKing]

Gold futures are down this morning so we'll see if it stays that way. Gold did have a good day yesterday, is at the 50dma providing for some resistance, and the dollar is up. Put together that's not good for gold at the moment. No matter, I'm going to continue with the plan and accumulate up to the opening of Mount Milligan.

[SwingKing]

Yeah, good day yesterday but we need to get this bad boy above 3.10 and we should see some real action. I'll post the chart and some comments before the open.

[abouissa]

TC nice day

[SwingKing]

Would be nice to see TC close above $3.

[SwingKing]

TC looking good here, could pop.

[SwingKing]

I'm with you on this, holding until at least the first week in AUG and than will make a decision after the earnings call on 8 Aug.

[Scandle34]

Unless gold sinks a lot further this looks like the turning point. On watch list.

[marbleminer]

We need a mulligan for Mt. Milligan!

[abouissa]

I believe that we will see some nice movement next week

[SwingKing]

TC is looking good heading into Monday. Chart is flagging and PPS is hugging the bottom of the wedge providing for a decent entry. It looks like a move above the 20dma is on the way and should be the first on many bullish moves leading up to the opening of Mount Mulligan.

[Dr. King Schultz]

Looking gooooooooood today!

[johnnyvolvo]

If anyone is going to stake a position, now, (sub $3) is the time to do it.

Mt Milligan mine opening is imminent. Metals are in the dumps right now, but TC is a low cost producer and still makes money at these prices, and even lower.

This is not a Jr Goldminer. In 3-4 months this will be a state of the art copper and moly producer that mines a little gold as well.

We should get a pop when the mine is commissioned, but really, this should be looked at as a long term hold (48 months +/-) and as such we should hive a nice 4 or 5 bagger from these levels IF it's held with that term in mind...expect near term (24 month) volatility unless metal prices stabilize or go up. If they do, celebrate early.

[Dr. King Schultz]

Buy the dips, then hold long.
I think Mt. Milligan will be a winner in the end!

[trder1]

Buy, Hold, or Sell?

[Dr. King Schultz]

Broke 3.20, another nice day here!

[Dr. King Schultz]

Looking good today!

[trder1]

This stock is on fire over the last week...lol

[CowBoE]

In @2.43. Looking for $2.53 exit.

World markets are up, so we should see some bounce at some point here.

[CowBoE]

$2.48...approaching $2.30

With mining stocks selling off and big market showing pullback,
I thin its inevitable that TC will hit $2.30 or lower soon.

[CowBoE]

Looks to be headed back to $2.30 to $2.40 range.

Nearly 3 straight months skid...

[NJH423]

Even though yesterday's news was terrible, I think this is a great point of entry to enter in TC. But you must be patient and look long term, I am thinking at least 3 to 5 years!! With their new mine beginning operations in Q4 2013, that's going to opens doors and provide a solid income stream.

[NYBob]

Thompson Creek Metals posts $484.4m Q4 loss

[DirkDiggler85]

Thinking about opening a position here. So they are supposed to open a new mine and being mining for gold as well?
