Nickel production was 177,185 tonnes in 1996. Copper production was up 10 percent last year, from 340,000 tonnes in 1996. Cobalt output was up 37.5 percent from 1996, when 3,150 tonnes were produced.

I'm not a pessimist and I'm only negative when the BS put out by a company only partially discloses or distorts the facts. Such is the case, I believe, with Donner. There's lots of companies that I like and I even own several most of which I'm down on. My complaint, to me, is much more universal in that I don't believe the we speculators are on alevel playing field with respect to speculating in these penny stocks. I can't understand why more people don't agree with me. These stocks have lost their audience partly due to the inability of us to get accurate timely information that is, in most cases, available to the insiders and I assume they use it in their best intererts, not mine. Let's not get confused about what I'm bitching about. The discovery process is magic and I understand that.
