I just looked up at my TV and they are still doing it-lol! Boy this metals market is interesting now. Two days ago there was 4,000 tons of nickel. Then it dropped by 500 tons the next two days. that really surprised me. I was figuring 50 ton increments form here on out. A couple of years ago Japan raised the price they would pay for steel by 71% OVERNIGHT. They had to ensure enough steel for their mighty car industry. Now that they are the leading nation in the world selling hybrids which use nickel cobalt batteries I think---e.g. Prius?? How do they plan to meet this nickel shortage? They would seem to need it more than anyone except the high pressure pipelines that are .05 nickle to increase strength (5X's) and ductability. I am reading like 72 thousand miles of these pipes are being built or in the plans. The Alaskan gas line will be 54" I think and high pressure. A couple of thousand miles of pipe depending on final route. The massive amounts fo small gas fields is also requireing a lot of pipe. And pretty much tieing the whole world together. Russia supplies something like 40% of Europes gas needs. And everyone wants brushed nickel appliances.

Lol, it's not politeness on the part of british columbians, it's that we're in the same boat, this is the Alta California of the g.w.n. and you couldn't get a mine going for love nor money near the populated areas of the province ... in the interior and up north it's a different story, at least now it is to some extent, under the NDP it was probably worse province-wide than California at the moment ... just absolutely anti-industry those people, and they may come back, something over a third of the population always votes for them Sutter is actually permitted already to a degree, and in an historic mining area, they're considered operators of a pre-existing mine, as i understand it ... no way could they open-pit anything, but they can go right ahead and resume an underground operation, it would probably have to be small, but that's the size of their reserves to date anyway, so that's good, lol ... their mine was until recently being run as a tourist attraction, as of last summer there were still ads for it on the net, they're right beside a scenic highway in the old gold country ... problems would come for them only if they hit big and wanted to scale up, imho
