 M&A fever hits the ground in Argentina and not only in Lithium, but in Gold today as well - we guess Copper is to follow. Somebody likes the story and Minera Andes breaks out to the upside today on a big volume. We are closely watching TNR Gold with its vast holdings of Lithium, Copper and Gold projects in Argentina. Los Azules legal case will be taking a new perspective with every tick to the upside in the copper price and any idea about M&A involving Minera Andes.


"In a Copper space we are following development of Los Azules with Minera Andes and TNR Gold lawsuit boardroom games. With every uptick in Copper price NPV of the los Azules is going up, keeping everybody involved closely watching the letigation outcome:"

  Warren Buffet is right, as usual, in his investment approach and Almaden Minerals hit today 3.05 surging from 90 cents in August. You can tell with number of our posts lately that life and money comes back to junior mining sector now.

"Even Lithium can not cure depression all the time: this summer we have a lot of market worries and vacation time always puts some pressure on our favorite juniors. Mr Market gives us another opportunity and the time has come to pick up new samples for our collection. We have, one more time, just checked Warren Buffet: Buy when nobody wants."
