Don't need supplies to manufacture what there is no market for.
They can say go back to work but they cannot force people to or force them to make purchases creating necessary demand. People who are uncertain and afraid do not take on long term commitments, No one actually knows when this is going to be over.
Governors of many states and premiers in Canada plus some of the regional managers in Europe have declined the option of opening the area which they are responsible for. Western Granted has some variation from the normal operating mill facilities. However here to the company is subject to the Macro conditions which will still carry a dominating effect. The only real thing which will mitigate the down holding pressure. Will be the availability of test clarifying whether or not, you and the person working next to you, or the people you are serving, or serving you are not infected or, have recovered and now safe with antibody protection so as not to transmit the virus to others.
China attempted to reopen a small sector. Resulting in some new cases being revealed on the forefront within days. The test waited upon is on the horizon potentially developed. Yet Not in hand quantity large enough to have any significant effect. allowing people back in a safe working environment.
Companies cannot reopen in profit if only Half or 70% of their workforce returns. While others who have reserve capital of their own choose not to . operating base costs are the same, production volume vastly reduced. and profit survival line destroyed ending in bankruptcies not only for the corporation itself. Also the residual businesses who depend on it. Corporations either make a profit or go out of business leaving workers totally on the breadline with no future employment to return to. is that better than a short wait projected at present under present modelling and strategies being employed ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a report on forest corporation market condition at present looking forward. what happens currently affects 3 to 6 months out sales Permitting development fore shadows supply demand at least 90 days in major builders like & similar to TOLL BROTHERS it may precede construction activity by 9 months
NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) is based on a monthly survey of home builders. They are asked to rate current sales of single-family homes and sales expectations for the next six months and to rate traffic of prospective buyers. Scores for responses to each component are used to calculate a seasonally adjusted overall index, where a number over 50 indicates more builders view sales conditions as good than poor.
The NAHB housing market index in the US tumbled to 30 in April 2020, the lowest since June 2012 and well below market forecasts of 55. The current single-family sub-index declined to 36 from 79 in March; the sub-index for home sales for the next six months dropped to 36 from 75; and prospective buyers also went down to 13 from 56.
Mortgage Applications in the United States is expected to be down to 1.50 percent by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. Looking forward, we estimate Mortgage Applications in the United States to stand even lower at 0.90 in 12 months time. In the long-term, the United States MBA Mortgage Applications is projected to trend around 0.90 percent in 2021, according to our econometric models.
The advantage Western has over it's peers in it's make up is still not an advantage if housing markets are not robust. comets previously made by Dos had some very valid points. Applications to remain near .90% till 2021 corresponds with a vaccine being available ending the crises.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To me reading the above reports I copy and pasted suggest Western and other lumber manufacturers as a longer term hold. Even without other unforeseen adverse conditions presenting themselves.
Thought the info may be of some value. other statistical reports and projections like this are available on various sectors and commodities including mineral demands going forward by subscription. I like some because they are first hand not spun or edited for spin in CEO reports to benefit their corporation I have witnessed in some cases |

Iread yoour posts some times on AG And respect your open mindedness allowing yourself to consider both the positive and negative freely. It is nice to see people who view reality rather than pictures painted on hope.
Hope is like hunting rabits and only finding tracks. Tracks make pretty thin soup.
That said I do believe Shaft creek has value under proper conditions. I read the report made up on Galore Creek by some writer. The information presented was so far out of date and present cost projections it was like reading a paid Basher The tunnel has been redesigned, tailing facility errors corrected no longer water problems. lower cost to better mill location increased reserves. If you flew up over the last year Galore was a floury of activity. one of my better friends from Smithers BC transports some crews bosses and executives from airport to Bob Quin helicopter pad by vehicle . A long drive In consequent conversations he has along the way with people along the way he suggests Newmont is encouraged in proceeding much further as the potential for creating a many cycle operation does present it'self with so many resources being explored right on the border of Galore Creeks milling facility and others are 20 Km or less away easy haul distance. Shaft Creek for one Romios another Jackson is working a former Teck property almost abutting the future mill should it prove up. without permitting, road and mill building costs Shaft creek would vastly increase it's IRR actual ROI is what business is about. spent more at Galore in two years as was spent at Shaft creek in the last 8. still at least 2 years out to see any kind of confirming action I would think. Teck does not have to tie up funds to hold S/C they already have control. and ES or EE does not appear to be excited abou bucking the current trend. Elmer is getting paid and Ernesto is financially comfortable, not desperate |

| To: Theotokos who wrote (10632) | 4/22/2020 11:22:04 AM | | From: louel | | | | From My perspective putting money in Junior exploration stocksis NOT investing but rather speculative gambling. basically giving money to someone you really do not know so they can chase an idea. Which is based on guess work. No firm grounds or guarantee it is even a good one and historical evidence reveals 90% of people who promoted similar programs in the past 100 years failed to produce a mine-able resource. Not good odds. Like giving your money to a stranger who is going to Las Vegas. tell them just pump it into a the slot of your choice. and we'll split the profits. if you do not win. you will still take your travel expenses and a wagge for going. And I agree if you loose it all I will be the one who takes the biggest portion if not all of the loss. with no recource or legal means of ever getting my money back . If you over spend or loose it all due to foolish mistakes or mis judgment in decisions made without my permission you will not be liable and continue to be paid. Should you run out of money just out notice via a fund raising Placement order you need more and I will front further funds for you to play with. All you are legally responsible for is to tell me nice stories of the best your journey and more about potential winning. if you fail to report regularly I will grumble but exept and understand you are busy and as I went into this agreement with eyes wide open as an adult you should not have to baby sit me. I also agree, If I loose all of the money I gave you it is not your fault as I could have left the partnership earlier and salvaged at least a bit. But I chose not to because you told such beautiful convincing hypothetical stories and I blindly believed them.
ON the other hand investing in my books is backed by factual successes Tack record, already known valuable hard assets regular debt and operational cost reports showing a sufficient ongoing revenue stream to cover the expenses and still have some left over to pay down outstanding debt plus pay me interest on the money I have placed in your hands in the form of a dividend. just appears to be less risk my prefferred investing style
Yes tell me what the EBITDA <Return on the investment(ROI), Earnings growth, return on equity so I can calculate how my portion is doing include market swing effects in order for me to verify for myself if you are really up to date or simply spinning a yarn trying to pull the wool over my eyes.
Junior venture stocks trading venues not in my opinion investment creteria yet stocks which meet fundamental investment qualification may still be traded. and I might add with far more predictability and safety. What you think? Caqndidates ? |

| To: louel who wrote (10643) | 5/6/2020 3:59:05 PM | | From: CanadaGrant | | | | | Thanks for the compliment louel. When looking at CUU I tend to go with past performance before I would ever believe something out of the office as I have already been burnt on that one. Show me what you've done instead of telling me what you "expect" to do and so far the record is dismal at best. The share price says it all and the stupid stories, paid for interviews and failures to complete anything on time don't help. My fault for investing but there really isn't any point in selling when the shares are about as close to zero as you can get. I'm hoping something good might come out of this but I can say that if Elmer told me the sky was blue, I wouldn't believe him or even bother going outside for a look... |

| To: CanadaGrant who wrote (10645) | 5/17/2020 12:22:28 AM | | From: louel | | | | I believ your correct at this point selling would eliminate any possible chance of of gain suould there be something happen to even move price. All losses have alread been incurred at this price it has been derisked. for me I only held a minisculeamount of shares 26k and it was ckutteing up my potfolio distractingattention from others more important
I have evr since back in the S/H days thought you were one of the few who held an open mind unlike some where every whisper appeared to be the golden egg. My approach is on a gold scalr you can place lump of gold but you have no idea of its valu tillcounter weights are placed om=n the opposite side. So to with mining deposits.drilling and assays may say it is fabulous however till all costs prior to market are extracted and time lines are in play and decisions ar made toward commecial production the true value remains unknown it is nothing more than a guess.
Back in th days of S/H I ws at times quite brutal to many other members including you So please accept my appology I make here to all. I like this forum to be whee on where posters may place views, ask questions and shae factual infomation on CUU and other ventures which may benefit all
Thank you for you post CG Welcome any time JUst because a person posts on another forum does not mean they cannot share here I hold no Bias Add yes from time to time I visit AG and scout for relevant info hich I may have missed |

| From: explorationguy | 5/25/2020 10:13:25 AM | | | | | | | Drill rigs are turning at Treaty Creek, a month earlier than last year. TUD, AMK and TUO are in play. Program objectives are to extend step out mineralization and infill drilling for resource estimation. Based on last years program the first assay would be expected by late June. However you can see the metallic mineralization in core so the stocks could move as soon as they pull some core well before assay results are received. |
