The market was expecting much more Uranium.
Plus, uranium decays fast and is very soluble. Any find of uranium goes into a natural attrition process and the stock price reflects that.

The ticking time bomb. Anomalies in Till.
largest and most intensely gold-anomalous till layer ever encountered on a reverse circulation program in Canada
Scandalous. Just scandalous. Do the stakeholders in the area know about this reverse circulating anomaly and it potential effects?
What are they going to do about this anomaly? Can they just let it sit and fester? It is high time they did something about these kind of man made blights. They may be disasters waiting to happen.

Mining had almost died in BC. Just about every equipment supplier who was there on the coast in the 80's had left by the year 2000. Steady decline, and we are not talking about ramps, either. Of course it's that way all over Canada. Except maybe in PQ. La Belle foret. There were 300 mine extant in 1978 in Canaderski, and in 2005 there are perhaps 90. Sad. hooo boooo....
It might make a comeback a tad, but the heyday is over. It is 1000 per cent easier to start a mine in Chile than in Canada. Heck you can start a mine in Switzerland easier than you can in Canada. Part of the problem is access to capital too, not just envi regs etc..

Moriarity's articles as always are interesting. A little bit slanted to Cardero's brave venture but interesting.
Moving 14 tons of sand to get one ton of iron is brave too. They did not say how they were going to do that. Trucks, conveyors or slurry. I always thought that the idea was to remove the ilmenite from the sand before you smelt, as most smelters judge it a penalty to have TiO2 in your feed. A few have tried that. Most of the irons sand projects have not attracted a market. Even with 25% FeTiO3, Fancamp while not a sands project, did not attract much of a market and it is the same grade as the richest mine in Canada, run by Rio Tinto, at Havre St. Pierre in PQ. Two other sands projects in Canada, in the oil sands and in Nova Scotia seem not to have much audience these days.
Ilmenite is FeTi03 and slightly magnetic. It holds promise of being removed from an magnetite feed by flotation, electrostatics, magnetic induction or even super gravity as than magnetite is heavier than Ilmenite. (5.18 to 4.7 SG.) That does not sound like much but super gravity increases SG differences in an absolute sense. In a field of 300 G's the difference between the two minerals is 144 units not merely .48, so the separations is potentially 300 times better.
Another neat trick might be to roast the magnetite to Fe2O3 which makes it non magnetic and then separate the sands by high speed high mag field belts which would work preferentially on the Ilmenite, but don't quote me.

I never adhered much to topics. I have topic deficit syndrome.
By the time I get to the middle of the sentence I have thought of something else to hey! how about that copper price! Do you think that will affect petunia growth this summer?
I really like Blueberry Bran Muffins, can you swim?
Grayling have been known to threaten placer mining. Salmon definitely affect placer mining in Washington state. Wherever you see them you can't take gold.
Speaking of Grayling, I see lots of Atlantic Salmon in the store these days. Fillets look delicious. But the prices of organic food! Drives you crazy. They say if fish are moly deficient they will swim deeper and will be harder to catch. What have you heard?

They are Burning Down the Amazon
Thought that the catchy title would get you clicking.. but on another note, Roxy is "burning up the Moly forest" with their mining ops.
Note that new drilling has extended the known depth of molybdenum mineralization to about 1028 feet and extended the strike of the moly veins by about 852 feet. This may indicate with infill drilling, a substantial tonnage increase of mineable high-grade molybdenum ore. It is this respondent's position that Roxmark is in possession of one of the most profitable small Molybdenum orebodies in North America, if not in the world. Mining should be in full swing in the fall, with some bulk samples coming out this summer.
Quote from Monthly Progress Report -->
Roxmark is a Canadian-based junior integrated gold mining company involved in exploration and development of gold and molybdenum properties in the Geraldton-Beardmore area of Northern Ontario. These properties include extensions to six formerly highly productive mines which generated nearly two million ounces of gold from high grade ore and an important new molybdenum project.
As part of the Company’s 2005 strategic plan, approximately 7,000 tons of gold and molybdenum ore will be bulk sampled and processed at the Company’s on-site mill complex. This is expected to generate sufficient cash flow to fund further disciplined drilling and development strategies.
Roxmark’s common shares are listed for trading on the Canadian Trading and Quotation System Inc. ( http://www.cnq.ca ) under the symbol RMKL. Further information is available at http://www.roxmark.com .
The diamond drilling program on the Nortoba-Tyson molybdenum property commenced on June 10, 2005 with 1,865 meters of NQ diameter core completed by July 6, 2005 in 24 holes. Core logging and sampling are nearing completion and a report on the project will be generated once all results are in and have been evaluated. Mr Peter Bevan, P.Eng. and qualified person has been supervising the project. The assaying of the molybdenum is being performed at SGS Lakefield Research Limited.
The East Leitch surface bulk sampling has started. Two preparatory blasts have been taken to access the ore which will be mined and delivered to the mill site for processing shortly. While working on the access to the East Leitch ore, a new gold bearing vein was discovered. This necessitated an evaluation period and has precipitated the decision to incorporate certain tonnage of the adjoining new vein into the proposed bulk sample.
The gold mill circuit has been readied for processing and the molybdenum circuit is nearing completion.
Preliminary results on the SGS Lakefield Research metallurgical test work are encouraging and indicate that a clean high grade concentrate is achievable.
New Drilling
Further testing is underway with a report and recommendations to follow. The diamond drilling program on the Nortoba-Tyson molybdenum has extended the known strike length of 457 meters by an additional 260 meters to the east where it remains open to further extension in subsequent drilling campaigns.
Previous drilling has intersected the moly-bearing structure to a maximum depth of 385 feet or 117 vertical meters. Roxmark’s steeply dipping 80 degree hole Nor #18, was designed to find the upper limit of the diabase sill. The hole went through the main vein at 32.25 meters (106 feet) and intersected parallel zones to the north, with molybdenum observed to depths in excess of 313.3 meters (1,028 feet) before piercing the diabase sill at 323.6 meters vertically (1,061feet).
In order to complete the additional drilling on the Nortoba-Tyson moly zones, the 4 short holes under the Tyson gold open cut have been deferred for now.
The drilling of 1,865 meters of NQ core was accomplished in the reporting period.
During the month, Mr. Carlo Catterello was appointed as Mill Superintendent.
The bulk sample programs, modification and commissioning of the mill are being carried out either by contractors or by employees hired for these programs.

Iron Ore Mining companies have planned pipelines for 50 years as a good way to ship concentrates, but hey!, an MLA from Newfoundland was never consulted so they must have missed something. Damn Iron companies, they should know better than to plan something like that without asking MP's about the obvious engineering problems!
640 KM is a long way to build a pipeline. One used to see Hanna Mining's and others pipeline right-of-ways on claim maps in Ontario for years. They never built one, which said more about the demand for steel and CDN iron ore vs Brazilian/Argentinian than it did about the pure economics of pumping Iron slurry in Northern Ontario.
I forget which Peruvian/Chilean Copper mine pumps slurry to the sea from the Andes. Is it Chucaquamita or Antamina?
It appears Antamina has one.

I often wondered why not ship the stuff to a Fjord on the east coast rather than the longer distance to the St. Lawrence. I guess they were thinking about US markets via the Lakes and not having to build port facilities et al.
Also they have to have a pelletizing/roasting plant at the destination with the pipeline idea. Another question that comes to mine is why don't they use the wide gauge rail that is already there going to Scheff. I presume it is owned by somebody else and they already worked that out.

Made of Cobalt? Ask Joe.
Joe possesses a Cobalt Tricorder.
Everyone knows that spaceships are made of Di-Lithium Crystalloid, and Permalloy Matrix Nitrogenase. So I presume you are being facetious. Cobalt spaceships allow mind warp pentetration and melts when phaser shields transmogrify in worm hole portals.
The planet Zon-Hypazoid of the Beta-Quadrant is Cobalt free. Instead we have Bizzaro Metal known as Tlaboc. Tlaboc is not found with Lekcin or Reppoc. It melts at -100C degs. and Boils at -1000C degs. It is anti-magnetic, soft, does not alloy with Nori and is very common in felsic rocks.

Ahhh laddie, whilst that is a seductive hypothesis, and it is entertained by many a thinker in the halls of the Mito Chon Dria, (Land of the Outside Ice Box) it is also not true to a degree that not all of the source rock eroded. After all you are asking for a heck of a lot of erosion.
The odds are at least 50% that half the orebody that gave rise to the placer is still there.
Many, many placer's sources have been found and it has been found that much of the vein structure is still there.
On the other hand, an economic placer does not have to have an economic hard rock source.

They have been stalled so long on that one, one wonders what they can do. Wellgreen is an interesting intrusion property. I reckon they are recon-ing it because the biggie copper thingie DOT-47 did not draw the fire they wanted. There is not enough info forthcoming however to tell what caused the fallback in activity. It was partially market oriented I believe, as not much has happened since 2004 Feb bull market-wise.
Wait and see what their next move is.
