I had a boomer today. Starting an hour after the markets opened, WEX, who are drilling up a gold/silver property in Nevada, suddenly started to move, with block after block changing hands. In the end, WEX closed up more than 50% on huge volume. It could a leak concerning a buyout or a drilling hit or a JV, but my guess is a newsletter recommendation.

We are definitely reaching peak gold. Over the years I have read at least the headline on hundreds of thousands of mining PRs, but today we got the best one yet.

Lingerie Fighting Championships Purchase Mining Claim

A quote from the CEO -- “If it sounds like a strange thing for a lingerie sports league to buy that’s probably because it is".

Another sign of the times -- in the last two days I have posted not fewer than 125 PRs on my Mining News board, and that is after rejecting dozens for not containing what I consider useful information. I for one will be glad when the flood of PRs finally slows down.

Alphamin was down 8% today.
I also have shares in Cornish Metals, and here the picture is very cloudy. The London ticker is TIN.L, and it seems to have gone ballistic in the past month, if Yahoo is to be believed. In fact, looking at the company site, I see an increase of 50%, from 80 to 120 pounds - not to be sneezed at.
But in my Schwab PF the US-traded version is shown as 21948L104, and the price is $0.099. I don't understand the relation between the London price and the US price. I'll have to make an enquiry.
