Hutch,

Selling calls, especially if one owns the underlying, as the miners do, is NOT bearish. It is, at worse, slightly bullish. If the calls sold are far out-of-the-money, the call selling may be interpreted to be quite bullish. Only deep in-the-money call selling (a defective strategy because it contains little time premium) would be considered bearish.
