The original idea was to post $500 increments, maybe a few times in a week, but now we experience $1,000 increments daily, so in order to avoid rehashing daily posts I will resort to $2,500 increments

Just bought some more @Q2Metals, with spot lithium at $21.7k/t you can't have enough exposure to Cisco, one of the potentially/likely largest hard rock Li deposits worldwide. Maiden resource estimate coming up this quarter, be prepared to be blown away. #lithium @PMET_Resources

Just imagine this happening in a normal country.......you can't make this up. You just can't.
Too big for his boots? Marco Rubio wears new shoes in the White House ordered for him by Donald Trump - the only problem is... they don't fit

Just when you think it can't get any crazier......The central question becomes: could the USA and the world still return to the old normal again after Trump, or are we at the brink of irreversible damage? @KobeissiLetter

Not sure what the benefits could be here for Rio Tinto, besides adding a very expensive copper expansion. If they don't divest the cash machine being coal, major funds will exit. Rio and Glencore also have very different cultures, reason for the proposed 2014 merger to fail.
WATCH: Rio Tinto is in early talks to buy Glencore, the companies said, in what could create the world's largest mining company with a combined market value of nearly $207 billion https://t.co/ocXfHskf6q

In the meantime gold is breaking $4,500 again, silver $80 again and copper breaks $6.00 for the first time ever. A genuine bull market.

Crazy action for lithium, now at $18,2k/t. At this rate we see $20k/t by the end of this week......At $25k/t almost all decent hard rock projects become very profitable @Q2Metals @PMET_Resources

The US will have to remove her, the entire cabinet and the military top echelon, and to instate the rightful winner of the elections for president before anything will change in Venezuela. But for some reason, Trump and his cronies aren't talking to Gonzalez for unknown reasons.
Venezuela’s new leader, vice president and oil minister Delcy RodrÃguez, is a socialist true believer who helped Nicolás Maduro maintain his grip on power for more than a decade. 🔗 https://t.co/f11eDqSOpE

The guy wasn't a legal president anyway, just a drugslord "elected" by massive fraud in voting. Curious if China sees this as a signal to overtake Taiwan soon. Venezuela isn't important, but Taiwan is very strategic because the entire world depends on its microchip industry.

$16,8k/t, impressive while gold&silver are victim of traders it seems, shaking out on low Christmas holiday volumes #lithium

Was planning to post $14.5k/t as the next $500/t increment, but Li spot didn't exactly follow the script during Christmas and jumped from $14.4k to $14.9k to $15.9k, impressive. $20k is approaching fast > economic threshold for many projects @Q2Metals @PMET_Resources #lithium

As expected, new highs at year end. My conclusion here is Trump is doing a hell of a job destroying the USD. If he can keep this up for his entire term, my junior mining stocks will do just great. I do hope he doesn't crash the stockmarkets as this takes down my juniors as well.
BREAKING: Gold futures surge to a new record high of $4,415/oz, now up +67% this year. Asset owners keep on winning.

Considering re-entering again after these high grades and copper on the rise. At those huge depths they will need 150-200Mt of these grades to make the project viable. The recent 110M raise was impressive, although I didn't like the 4y full warrants. @ATEX_Resources
