For pro and newbie investors alike.
We encourage comments, questions, news, and discussion of all things related to precious metals including mining, bullion trends, as well as related mining, economic conditions, and events.
For background, this board originated to benefit those who understood that the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020 would have economic consequences bringing a boom in monetary metals without precedent. In the years since, that has become fact, and the fundamentals driving it have not changed - excessive money printing.
While precious metals prices went into correction mode early in 2026, the market feels like it is changing for the better. Copper prices are hovering at all-time highs as we approach the end of the "summer doldrums" in mining stocks - watch the charts and indices.
If you are new to this board and choose to post here, traditional rules of civility apply and off topic exchanges will be allowed to some extent. Along the same lines, and as politics can be hard to separated from anything related to economics, please attempt to be as unbiased as possible, and be respectful of opinions that may not align with your own.

[The image above is of what once remained of the superintendent's office at the historic Silver King Mine at Pinal (now Superior), AZ. The Silver King mine was and remains the richest silver mine in AZ. It dates from 1870. The office was destroyed by fire about 1990 and no structures now remain at the mine site, which is within several miles of what may be the world's largest copper discovery to date. That is at Superior, AZ under the combined ownership of BHP and Rio Tinto operating as Resolution Copper Company, which is not yet in production. The discovery zone is below the abandoned workings of the old Magma Copper Mine, which closed in 1982 after 71 years of production.] This discovery proved that what was thought to be the bottom of economic mineralization at some now abandoned porphyry mines, may only be a choke point below which vastly more and higher grade material can be found. |
