Lol ... had a tiny bid fill on ngd.wt.a, held the record for all-time lowest purchase for about an hour and a half it looks like ... not many weeks since praying to get re-loaded on them at about six times the price, then at four times the price, then, well, somewhat less lol ... could Lassonde Schulich and Telfer all be wrong on this, hmm, they had a production report and cost estimate out today, can't see what's wrong with that and they certainly don't appear to be in trouble, probably should give it up on Amapari but that's a small fraction of the whole ... the way this and trx.v are going you'd think copper was going out of fashion forever, well it never did before ... the ratio holds up surprisingly firm, considering distance from strike, likely a function of distance from expiry -

Also holding some B-models at .07 cost, bid .025 now, ouch ... they seemed like a good idea at the time, lol

Talking to a retired General. US uses depleted uranium in armor piercing ammo, particularly in Airforce A-10 tank destroyers.

Tests show depleted uranium is safe, however, when pulverized after hitting armor plate apparently chemistry changes or something. apparently there are sites in desert where major use of depleted uranium has caused "dead zones". There is absolutely nothing alive in the dead zones, not an insect, not a single plant species. Clean-up of these sites is on-going but word is that a change to tungsten ammo is being recommended. Tungsten is slightly better than depleted uranium in armor piercing ability but US had lots of depleted uranium in stock so chose uranium. Major supplier of tungsten to the world is China. There are security implications to where you have to source your ammo.

Tungsten (ferro) has dropped 50 cents from its yearly high to $17.50. tungsten powder (apt) has dropped 14 cents to $14.27 in the past year.
