Callinex Mines – January 2017 Corporate Presentation:
http://www.callinex.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Callinex-Presentation-Jan-19-2017.pdf
Callinex crashed and burned earlier this year to present when they put out a few disappointing holes at one of their properties. It really looks like the market over-reacted to the downside, just because of one drill campaign. The valuation looks much better now, and if you pull up a chart you’ll notice this stock has a habit of launching up steeply and then falling back down, and then launching up, and then falling down. Is it time for another launch soon?
Callinex has a bunch of Zinc/Gold/Silver/Lead/Copper resources already defined and multiple properties in play. The good news is that they have upcoming drilling for 2017 that could easily give this explorer a power boost on a good hole or two. I’ve got a small starter position going, but am thinking of adding more while it’s bombed out. Jayant Bhandari is on the advisory board.
Anyone else following Callinex?
Yes still with callinex..agree it oversold on news of just 1 drill hole that they hoped would mean they had a huge deposit now back to defining area where they know the goods are
Hey Wolfster – I couldn’t remember if you followed Callinex or not, but yes agreed.
They have a good idea of where the goods already are, and they were only drilling some more prospective outlying holes last time to go looking for new discoveries. The market will come back around this year once they refocus on how much good exploration work already has been done and as they do more definition drilling.
It’s going to be a fun year in the Zinc space.
Another Zinc/Copper company I’ve been chipping away at is Heron Resources.
Anyone else following Heron?

My clear favorite Zinc company of 2017 has been Tinka Resources. What a ride….
They put out some news this week that got some real interest going. It’s drill time:
Tinka Receives Approval To Initiate Drilling Activities At Ayawilca Zinc Project, Mobilizes First Drill Rig
February 10th, 2017
Well, actually that was the end of last week, but awareness really hit over the weekend and this week.
BTW – Nothing says Valentines Day like buying your sweetie a Zinc Stock!
On second thought, wait for a pullback, and get your sweetie chocolates & wine instead.
This is playing out nicely….now the drills will be turning and the real fun begins….or so we hope
Yes, the truth machine will tell the real story, but many geologists seem to like this story and are pretty excited. Even Otto was positive. It’s about to get real interesting.
The Tinka room has been pretty lively the last few weeks:

Al:
In speaking of your personal investments, I couldn’t believe I heard you say something to the effect “if you’re in it for the long haul, what does it matter?” The following statement from Hussman is why you may regret holding at these lofty levels although you certainly have the right to: “The S&P 500 didn’t durably break its March 24, 2000 high of 1527.46 until March 5, 2013. I expect the completion of the current cycle will not only revisit that level on the S&P 500, but that it will also wipe out the entire total return of the S&P 500 since 2000. Those are the long-term consequences of extreme overvaluation, and they have been throughout history.”
