I’m a PRIVATE INVESTOR, enjoying early retirement after a long, successful, and fulfilling career as an investment professional with a focus on the resource sector (including oil and gas). I employ common sense, fundamental, bottom-up analysis that incorporates not limited to: currency exchange rates, cost of labor, raw materials cost, geology, metallurgy, cost of capital, infrastructure, micro/macro influencing factors, experience of management, capital discipline by management, etc, etc… Research, research, research. I run a highly concentrated and focused portfolio. The Math never lies

    CCI.CN CNDIF site tour of NB largest High-grade open pit and Caribou Complex 3000t/d mill

    Excellent trip. Everything is in very good shape for a fully funded restart of Caribou being feed by the high grade Murray Brook open pit.  CEO Simon Quick adds colour to what’s coming as we ramp up over the next 18 months toward production. Production in 2028, fully financed. Offtake sold by Ocean Partners, deep water port nearby, govt support, local workforce, power and water. At current spot it’ll do approximately $150-$160 million CAD in Ebitda on $280 million CAD in Rev, 57% Ebitda margin, mine will payout in 3-4 months. On macro we have forecasted Cu, Ag deficits into 2035 , zinc moving into a small deficit 2027-28 Annual Production profile plus +13 years 47 million lbs zinc (20% of Canada’s zinc production) 8 million lbs copper 783,000 ozs silver 10 million lbs lead MC is $134 million CAD EV (net of OR stream cash $31.5 million +$17 million cash, $1 million in investments and $10 million cash from warrant exercises) = $74.5 million CAD. Trades at 0.4 EV to steady state Ebitda vs peers in production of 4-8X …. That’s the upside in 18-24 months with zero financing risk. Total cash liquidity +$100 million cad including Ocean Partners off-take agreement Total cap ex from PEA net of $6 million to acquire Caribou which has been paid to put MB into commercial production = $58 million CAD Liquidity to cap ex ratio 1.9X we could build it twice. Zero dilution risk to achieve commercial production. Then exploration upside, govt funding grants upside, cost cut upside from critical metal govt rebates on 30% of equipment, potential $5 million in cash from sale of non-essentials that came with Caribou, M&A upside of local stranded deposits upside. The risk is execution but this team has proven many times they have the ability to stay in budget and deliver on time. If not under budget and under time. https://canadiancopper.com/ Very Good trip!

    Magna Mining $NICU $MGMNF Update Jan 30th with CEO Jason Jessup

    Since the recording and broadcast on Twitter Spaces Magna released exceptional assays on Feb 20th: https://ceo.ca/@newsfile/magna-mining-provides-first-2024-drilling-results "Magna Mining Provides First 2024 Drilling Results, Including 1.1% Ni, 8.3% Cu, and 13.9 g/t Pt+Pd+Au Over 3.0 Metres Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 20, 2024) - Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD) ("Magna" or the "Company") is pleased to provide initial drilling results from the 2024 exploration program at Crean Hill, targeting the near surface advanced exploration area of the 109 FW Zone.  Highlights from the new assay results include: 109 FW Zone  MCR-24-060: 0.3% Ni, 2.0 % Cu, 8.6 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 14.0 metres Including 1.1% Ni, 8.3 % Cu, 13.9 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 3.0 metres MCR-234-061: 0.6% Ni, 1.0 % Cu, 9.5 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 14.7 metres Including 1.6% Ni, 3.5 % Cu, 12.5 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 2.9 metres And 2.2% Ni, 1.2 % Cu, 28.7 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 1.0 metres MCR-24-065: 0.2% Ni, 1.1 % Cu, 11.4 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 10.2 metres Including 1.5% Ni, 10.7 % Cu, 16.0 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 0.7 metres Dave King, SVP Technical Services stated, "Drilling results reported today are from the near surface portion of the 109 FW Zone. The objective of the current drilling is to define the continuity of the high grade core of the zone, and the limits of the low-sulphide, high precious metal mineralized envelope. The 2024 drilling to date confirms the continuity of metre scale massive sulphide veins, grading up to 1.1% Ni, 8.3% Cu and 13.9 g/t Pt + Pd +Au over 3.0 metres, within a broader mineralized breccia averaging approximately 12 to 15 metres wide, and grading up to 0.3% Ni, 2.0 % Cu, 8.6 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 14.0 metres (Figure 1 and 2). Data acquired will be used to update the 109 FW zone geological model and will facilitate planning of our Advanced Exploration program scheduled to commence in the second half of 2024." Currently two drills are active at Crean Hill, with one rig supporting Advanced Exploration planning, and six drillholes have been completed to date. A summary of assay results is presented in Table 1 and drillhole collars are presented in Table 2. A second drill has been focused on testing high-priority exploration targets in the footwall of the Crean Hill orebody. A third drill has recently been mobilized to the Shakespeare site and has commenced regional exploration drilling. Magna is fully funded to complete 25,000 metres of exploration drilling in 2024."
