Actually it was this post that got me looking at the term "proven resource".

What is a proven resource?
It isn't an NI43101 term as near as I can figure out.
Who the f*ck is the Nat Bank to talk about these POS?
Stick to loans and mutuals.

I was going to write a scathing post about Harry Barr and CVV on the uranium thread but then said why bother. Read that report I linked to. It basically says there is nothing there. Or what there is too deep and hard to find.
The whole jr. u308 game is pissing me off. CCO walked away from the property.
My drill programs are being ignored while surface samples get all the ink. Wah!


Teck has a good site.
I am looking at metals-too late I am afraid.

Post says Teck, others enjoy record zinc prices

The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that zinc is the latest commodity to surge to a record high after an already limited supply was threatened Monday. The Post's Drew Hasselback writes a refinery shut down in Mexico and there is worry of a smelter closure in China. At one point, spot zinc was trading on the London Metal Exchange for $1,998 a tonne (90.6 cents a pound), surpassing a previous high set on March 13, 1989. Zinc closed on the LME at $1,968 a tonne (89.3 cents a pound) (all figures U.S.). Demand for basic materials from China and other parts of the developing world is surging. Zinc producers Teck Cominco, Falconbridge and HudBay Minerals were among miners whose shares hit 52-week highs during intraday trading. The tight market for zinc was highlighted after producer Grupo Mexico said it had shut its refinery in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi because of an electrical power failure. The Mexican plant accounts for about 107,000 tonnes a year. That is less than 1 per cent of world zinc output. Still, the amount is significant when seen against last year's supply shortfall. In China, a leak at the Zhuzhou Zinc Smelter led to fears the plant may shut down.
