DBV would only have been a trader for me at any rate , it will be some time before more good news. Market is over ridden with copper discoveries right now. Seems like every third news release someone else hit a copper target. CCB strictly a trade for me too. By Friday I wont remember the symbol . Not knowledgeable enough on graphite plays to invest in them. They do make great traders though as they seem to be the market dolls right now , at least in the resource side of market. I have been looking at two stocks as investment stocks in the past week. One is RPM , the share price has been moving up nicely over past week . I believe the market is starting to factor in the income they will be receiving from the Coeur Rochester Mine that they got in settlement for the claims they staked that Coeur let expire. The 4.25 million per quarter they will be getting for the next four years will allow RPM to aggressively explore the collection of great properties they have in Nevada. It will also put them in a great position to buy into a more advanced property if they see fit. I expect good things from RPM this year and there future is very secure. I have followed them and held some shares last year but I sold out to go mining and have not bought back in as yet. I will be taking a position in the next week or two. The other is VMS ventures whose JV with HBM on the Reed Copper Mine is going into production as we speak.VMS owns 30% and is carried to production by HBM. Small hi grade copper zinc gold silver deposit near Flin Flon. VMS also owns 24% of North American Nickel as a bonus side play. Interesting well run company with some good properties and a healthy financial with 10 mil in kitty and revenue to start flowing soon from Reed Mine. RPM is at .20 and VMS is at .265 . Both companies have less then 150 mil out.

The acquisition consolidates the mineral title and connects the mineral trends between Lincoln Hill and Independence Hill giving the project significant upside potential.
Given the immense upside potential along the Oreana trend at Wilco, Gold Ridge and Lincoln Hill projects, the Jessup project has become a low priority. A portion of the property, the Snowwave lease, was terminated. The Allied Nevada and Mough leases remain in effect, and the Company has retained its 100% owned claims. |
