Top-News of the week:
TerraX samples up to 66.7 g/t Au on a new mineralized structure at Sam Otto
Great news continuing for TerraX Minerals! Just a couple of days ago, the company announced 7.40 m @ 10.17 g/t Au including 1.00 m @ 68.50 g/t Au. And now, it returned 66.7 g/t Au in grab samples on a new mineralized structure (Dave’s Pond) at Sam Otto. The surface sampling at Dave’s Pond is impressive, and as part of the Sam Otto target the company believes there is substantial potential that the area could host a large mineralized system on multiple structures. The opportunity at the Yellowknife City Gold project is to make multiple high grade discoveries in a world-renowned gold district, and the Sam Otto area is shaping up to be one of those discoveries.
Market Watch:
OPEC announces official crude oil hauling reduction on a supposed grand scale – But reality looks different!
Last week, the oil ministers of the OPEC countries not surprisingly reached an agreement on the first crude oil hauling reduction since 2008. Altogether OPEC decoded to cut oil hauling by 1.2 million barrel per day, to reach a daily haulage of 32.5 million barrel. As several mainstream media coincidently reported, the OPEC wants to reach its goal by throwing Indonesia, which produces 700,000 barrel per day, out of the cartel. Without thinking about it furthermore, this has to be a clear fact. But the whole thing has a snag. The OPEC will reduce its production by 1.2 million barrel per day without Indonesia, what doesn’t mean, that Indonesia will completely stop its production. The country will continue to produce this amount and will also sell it into the market. Besides OPEC, Russia also reported to reduce its production by 300,000 barrel. At the end of the day the daily hauled amount of crude oil will decrease by only 800,000 barrel per day. Therefore, the huge increase in crude oil prices by at least 12% seem to be absolutely exaggerated, especially for the fact that there will still be an overproduction.
Trump’s plans and E-mobility driving copper price onto new highs
Since mid-October 2016, the copper price knows only one direction: upwards! On top, the copper priced reached a plus of about 30% within only 6 weeks! There is no current news which may have caused this. But there are some speculative reasons for it. On the one hand, Trump’s election for president and his plans for a massive infrastructure program should play a heavy role. On the other hand we have the rising e-mobility, which seems not to be stopped anymore. A VW Golf 3 needed around 30 kilograms to be built. An electric car of the newest generation around 150 kilograms! If we forecast this number to the planned numbers of e-cars by 2020 or 2022, there are amounts of copper, which cannot be produced by new or even running mines. A heavy shortage should be only a matter of time.

Altona Mining discovers three new copper-gold systems at Roseby South
A couple of days ago, Altona Mining announced the results of a reconnaissance Reverse Circulation drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned Roseby South Project near Mt Isa in Queensland. The drill program confirmed major mineralized zones at Reaper, Harvest and Hobby. The best results were:34 meters at 0.83% copper and 0.14g/t gold and 13 meters at 1.13% copper and 0.13g/t gold. Roseby South adjoins the southern boundary of the Company’s Cloncurry Project and MMG's major underground zinc mine development at Dugald River. The Cloncurry Project is the subject of a US$235.5 million proposed joint venture with Sichuan Railway Investment Group. The results mentioned above are only one piece of a whole bunch of intercepts, Altona discovered this year. Roseby South is 100% Altona-owned tenure. It does not form part of the arrangements with SRIG, but could attract the company’s attention by delivering ongoing positive results.
