The Resource Maven, Gwen Preston joins us today to shares one recent news out of the zinc sector and for a more broad comment on the increase in interest. It was a couple years coming with analysts pointing the upcoming shortfall of zinc production as a driver to price and over the past year it came to fruition. We also discuss the seasonality of metals this time of the year. Gwen explains what her data shows about overall performance in Q1.

    PDAC curse?

      Take advantage of the Q1 RUN! Then run from those positions before the PDAC, and before you get the nervous nellie runs…. 🙂

      In all seriousness, I really did enjoy this segment on Zinc and on the Seasonality factor of buying / rebalancing during December tax loss selling and then maximize the early year tradable rally in the miners.

      Hoping investors here on the KER were buying in December and enjoying the nice pops in the stocks the last 2 weeks. Fun times!

    Hecla sells a lot of zinc and lead, as well as silver and gold.

    The best undeveloped Silver-Zinc deposit is Canadian Zinc, but it was hopelessly mis-managed.

      There are obviously lots of Silver Miners like (USA) Americas Silver Corp, (AXU) Alexco, (EXN) Excellon, (IPT) Impact Silver (GPL) Great Panther Silver etc…. that have great zinc grades and credits as well, but I have them on the Silver Miners lists.

    Jaguar Mining Announces Successful Recommissioning of Mill #3 at Turmalina Gold Mine

    TORONTO, Jan. 5, 2017 /CNW/ -Jaguar Mining Inc. (TSX: JAG) is pleased to announce the successful recommissioning of Mill #3 at its Turmalina Gold Mine, in Minas Gerais, Brazil….

      “Jaguar Mining Inc. (TSX: JAG) is pleased to announce the successful recommissioning of Mill #3 at its Turmalina Gold Mine, in Minas Gerais, #Brazil…. “Turmalina is expected to process 533,000 tonnes of ore in 2017. Using only Mill #3, Turmalina will be able to achieve the entire through-put capacity of the plant with a lower operating cost, through electricity consumption savings, compared to using both Mill #1 and Mill #2 in 2016. Currently Mill #1 and Mill #2 at Turmalina have been taken off-line for maintenance and will be kept on standby mode. The reconstruction of Mill #3 will allow the processing plant to be run at a full capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day or approximately 720,000 tonnes per year in future years using a combination of mills.”

      Rodney Lamond, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar, stated: “Jaguar has achieved another significant milestone with the recommissioning of Mill #3, which will increase daily processing capacity of the plant to 2,000 tonnes per day. We expect that the increase in process tonnage and lower operating costs for Mill #3 will positively impact Turmalina’s unitary costs. Mill #1 and Mill #2 are being reviewed for maintenance and will be kept on stand-by as a part of Turmalina’s long-term, organic growth strategy, and other opportunities in the Iron Quadrangle.”
