As first reported here on Sunday, there seems to be a certain amount of argy bargy in Ethiopia which some have taken to threaten the Tulu Kapi mine owned by Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI). Yesterday, Kefi said that it had received no letter indicating the mine was under threat but overnight a statement appeared on the website of the ministry of mining.

I will not advise others to buy shares in Jubilee Metals (JLP) while penny share huckster Colin Bird remains chairman and there are institutions who want to buy but will not do so until we are given a timeline for the exit of a man who sold all his shares, into a ramp, at 13p earlier this year. But, as a loyal shareholder, I am not selling at today’s 17.6p (although I paid sub 4p) after a Zambia copper update which was everything I could have asked for and more. These shares could be 40p+ by some stage in 2022 if Bird does the decent thing and walks. So why the excitement?

Tuesday saw great news from Saudi Arabia from Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) but where was that “funding secured” in Q1 news on Tulu Kapi we were all expecting? Er… Wednesday brought a Q1 update and guess what? Yes: funding is not yet secured. To Saudi first…

It is such a good joke I think I make it about 5 times in what follows. And now from Wales, by just 30 yards, it is my new weekly video show. This costs 99p per episode, and you can either listen to, or watch, some sparky interviews with Harry Adams of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI), where i am a loyal shareholder expecting the shares to double or more by mid year, and also Dominic Frisby. The singer, songwriter, comedian, gold guru, bitcoin expert and libertarian is on great form especially on the bitcoin/gold issue and tips the only AIM stock he owns and explains why. You will laugh and learn with him. You can access the show HERE

Fund manager Jaime Carrasco of Canaccord Genuity looks back on 2020, the elections, and why the world needs a monetary reset. As some of us keep pointing out to bearded lefty crackpot Darren Atwater, Jaime notes that Darren’s beloved Canada is making many stupid decisions around energy and the economy. Globally, the consequences are becoming evident from all the money printing. Darren, be warned, this will end in tears for you and the cats.

My main podcast today was a history lesson for the loathsome BBC HERE. In terms of bearcast I am not so inpired today, I promise I shall be more on fire tomorrow but do comment on why Harry Adams of Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) is share dealing like a dervish. I also look at the rebel at Inspirit (INSP) and explain why I think he is doomed to fail and why anyone buying the shares needs their head examined.

Loyal and very excited shareholder Tom Winnifrith writes: KEFI Gold and Copper (KEFI), you will note the name change, has announced the maiden Mineral Resource for the Hawiah copper project located in Saudi Arabia. This marks the start of two months which could and should be transformational for Kefi on two fronts and which will, we believe, have the potential to see the shares, now 2p offer, more than double…

I have warned several times that Standard Listed Chesterfield Resources (CHF) is a worthless POS. Put simply the Trudos mountains in Cyprus contains copper but not of sufficient grades and size to effect a commercial mining operation. And so today it has issued a ramptastic RNS which is utter bollocks and in that vein my translation of this nonsense is in bold.

Copper has always been a favourite metal for geologist turned broker Barry Dawes, being the third largest metal in terms of consumption and continues its historical pattern of long term growth. China and Asia use an enormous amount of copper and shortages are developing. This should result in a boom in copper prices and then new exploration.

Veteran miner Cameron McCrae thinks the recent run-up in the copper price has been long overdue. He thinks the copper price will go higher and stay there for longer and that demand will continue to be robust. The demand-supply balance is finely tuned, and the sector has been spoiled for some years with no supply disruptions. He says there is unpredictability with mining in Indonesia right now.

I still really do not understant bitcoin but it seems to grip fellow libertarians like Dominic Frisby and, in this case, resource guru Doug Casey. In this Palisade Capital podcast, Doug discusses the commodity markets and why the most important thing is what they do cyclically. Most commodities are down 50% since 2011 and the dollar has lost 20%. Commodities remain quite cheap, particularly gold, silver, and copper. He discusses Junior miners and why now is a good time to get into these markets.

EMED Mining (EMED) updated investors on 23rd February on “rapid progress being made in the development of onsite operations” at its Rio Tinto copper project and that “we remain in advanced discussions with our funding partners and are confident of securing the financing for the re-start of production without delays to the company's anticipated timetable”.
Operationally, the company updated that rehabilitation activities are expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2015 and that infrastructure development is progressing according to plan, whilst the exploration department is now fully operational.

EMED Mining (EMED) has announced that it has completed its application for a mining permit for its Rio Tinto copper project and is “confident that it will receive the mining permit before year end”. Together with restoration plan approval (the final plan having gone through public consultation, with approval “expected within the coming weeks”), these are the final permits needed to allow full scale mining operations to recommence.

Having worked to have key permits granted towards the re-starting of production from the Rio Tinto copper project in Spain, EMED Mining (EMED) has announced a €6.80 million net cash outflow in the six months ended 30th June 2014. Together with that negotiations “in respect of an equity financing to support an altered debt and equity structure… have taken considerably longer to conclude than originally anticipated”, this put its balance sheet in a troubling position and has seen it conditionally raise a further £13.1 million at 7.25p per share “to fund its activities up to the end of 2014, and thus enable the company to finalise its plans for the full financing of the Rio Tinto copper project”.

AIM listed wannabee copper mining stock EMED (EMED) issued a rather wordy statement on Wednesday which is on balance good news. The market has not read it that way and the shares now languish at 6.875p. It took me a good while to read through the verbage which was rather like wading through treacle. But it is not frustration with a press release that has caused the stock to fall so sharply since the statement.
The statement reads:

I have been bearish about Antofagasta (ANTO) twice on these pages, twice suggesting that the shares were overvalued. The publication of calendar 2012 results on March 12th improves the story a little but not dramatically. The shares have fallen sharply since my original bear calls and as such some might speculate that the copper giant offers bottom fishing appeal at £10.29, valuing the FTSE 100 mining giant at £10.144 billion.

The prime focus of AIM and TSX Listed EMED Mining (LSE:EMED) is on restarting the huge Rio Tinto copper mine in Spain but it was set up in Cyprus (it initially targeted a small copper deposit there) and so lo and behold it still has some Cypriot bank exposure. And yesterday the company announced that as a result it will fall victim to the great EU bank robbery. The following explains...

I spent two years working along Sam Bottell as he worked with minesite.com and oilbarrel.com and he is a good, honest and clever chap. Now that he is starting his career freelance writing as well as an organiser of the UKInvestor Show I have no hesitation in helping him along via this blog as a guest contributor. As such I bring to your attention a share sell tip from TradingResearch Point on Antofagasta. I happen to agree with his conclusion.
A calendar 2012 trading statement published on January 30th by FTSE 100 listed Chilean copper miner Antofagasta (ANTO) did not disappoint us bears. If anything it gave us further encouragement. It is not just that the 2012 numbers were mildly disappointing but that the 2013 guidance is very weak and with the macro outlook for copper unhelpful this is not going to be a good year for the company. Having advised selling at 1328p on January 10th the stance is unchanged now, even though the shares have already fallen back to 1127p.
