This is why you get your ore tested

And they said the geology in Arizona wasn't right for rare earth metals. Get your ore tested with an XRF for rare earth metals. This is the only way I know of so if someone else knows of something different PLEASE correct me.

I'll take an ounce of rhodium over an ounce of gold anyday.

Those who say it can't be done really shouldn't interrupt those of us who are doing it.

So much this!

I go tomorrow for aptitude testing to see exactly what I can do on Freeport's dime. They found about my degree's so now I may have to put on a suit everyday.

Yea no doubt. The testing went extremy well. Now let's see if they'll pay enough to do it.

Ok.

Increased our reserves by 25 billion tons. Like I said, we'll be fine.

Hopefully those reserves remain economically viable throughout the coming years....It is nice to know that the copper is in the ground but hard to predict that it can always remain profitable to mine due to unforeseen circumstances.

Ok back on subject here. Rhodium just hit $4700 an ounce. And it is going to go alot higher.

60% of the world's rhodium is supplied by South Africa and there ore grades are declining rapidly. There is not enough coming online to cover demand. Demand is set to explode since it was found out hybrid vehicles have a bigger emissions footprint than a diesel due to "cold starts".
