Q: There has been quite an upward move in CUM lately. Last year I watched my stocks go up and continued to hold as it went right down. I am showing some good profits. Should I dump it? I also hold Hudbay and Tech. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I own G, FNV and SLW representing in total about 6% of my stock portfolio. I am thinking of adding to my precious metals holdings (I like them as portfolio insurance and don't mind the dividends).

Do you think adding another 2% of my portfolio to these three holdings allows for sufficient diversification or would you suggest opening a new position in another company (and which would you currently suggest)?

Thank you. Michael

Q: Hello Team, I only have a small position in Gold Corp, and I would like to increase my exposure in the mining sector. I was thinking of purchasing FM, and I would like to hear if you feel that now is a good time to jump in. Also I would like to hear your opinion on any other candidates for the sector that you feel are worth holding. As with all my stocks, my intention is to hold onto them for a couple years.
Have a good weekend!
Patrick

Q: I have Sprott Physical Silver Trust units which I bought at about $14 a unit quite a few years back. I now realize I should have sold them long ago, but I didn't.
I'm hoping Silver will eventually increase in price so I won't be stuck with a huge loss.
Today Sprott made an announcement of a hostile bid for metal trust.
I have a feeling this may not be good for PHS.U unit holders, can you comment on this deal?

If there's any conflict involved and can't comment, I'll understand.

Thanks,
Paul

Q: I have held NTC for some time, and I am wondering if the company is in a death spiral, or if has a chance to rebound at any time in the future. Selling at this time would yield very little, so I would wait if there was any chance for this company to do well if conditions change. Thanks so much.

Q: My question is regarding Foran Mining (FOM) .Since i last inquired about it almost 2 years ago it appears a lot of very good things have happened to the company.Especially this past week. Can you look through some of the releases and comment on them ? also, the stock seems to have very good inside ownership along with a very strong shareholder base.Would you also agree that having Pierre Lassonde owning %10 is a great vote of confidence in the project ? The Zinc sector sure appears to be ripening at a great pace on the LME and 2 large zinc mines have yet to close this year. IN your opinion is management able to execute what is best for FOM shareholders. Some results are pending but what are some of the options available to management at this point. i know this is a small and risky situation but i did get in early and look forward to your comments . thanx Norm

Q: Peter and team:
I have watched this one from the sidelines for some time now. It is currently on a bit of a roll. Your last comment on CCO was back in Feb. Is there anything driving the current upward trend, and What are your thoughts on this stock as a 5 year+ investment? Is the 800 mil. potential back tax a real issue?

Thanks
Phil

Q: Hi Guys,
Can you please give a quick update on NML's decision not to answer the $23MM cash call from Tata? Based on the initial agreement between the two parties NML has a $300MM free carry and then any Cap Ex above this amount NML would be responsible to pay their fair share which is 20% of any further Cap Ex based on a 30/70 equity/debt split. Based on the math looks like the total spent thus far on the DSO is $684MM resulting in a $23MM cash call. NML has made the decision not to give Tata this funding and therefore will be diluted in their ownership perhaps to 16-17% from 20%. When the initial binding legal agreement was established would NML not have protected themselves against this? Tata in the last year or two changed the scope of the DSO to produce more than originally suggested and therefore further Cap Ex is required. Theoretically Tata can continue to spend further pressuring NML for further cash calls knowing NML can't or won't raise the funds. Hence diluting NML's interest potentially to zero. I assume the original agreement would have set up the guidelines and NML would have capped the Cap Ex? If Tata on their own changed the scope why would NML be bound to the new terms? thank-you for any clarification.
