peak copper
The good news is that copper is in a bull market for the rest of the century. What that means is that major capital investments are now needed to build inventories. All good for copper mining which has been weak for decades. Maybe now it will be possible to activate North American copper mining. I understand one copper mining district up along the Alaskan panhandle where we have dozens of prospective open pit potential copper mines. any such mine will expect to open with around eight pounds of copper per ton mined and a likely minimal volume of 200,000 pounds per day or one ... read more

You can stay as long as you like. So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right. I don't know no love songs, and I ... read more

The Poet: James Broughton, "Quit Your Addiction"
*"Quit Your Addiction"* “Quit your addiction to sneer and complaint. Try a little flaunt, Call for comrades who bolster your vim and offer you risk. Corral the crones, Goose the nice nellies, Hunt the bear that hugs and the raven that quoths. Stay up all night to devise a new dawn...” - James Broughton, “Little Sermons of the Big Joy” read more

You want to just get rid of all this stuff and make things right. But the moment you say it, they tell you to shut up a... read more
