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: What is your opinion on buying ptm at .63 for a 3-5 yr. holding. With the amount of platinum, palladium and gold they have in the upcoming mines, would this not become a cash positive company. Thanks for much help, I have purchased 7 different new holdings in the last month.
Q: Hi All: It is time I added some insurance to my portfolio. I am interested in adding to my gold holdings, I hold Goldcorp now and I would like to add a gold ETF. In the past I have held CGL. I would prefer a bullion stock. What do you think of this idea? Please suggest a couple of ETFs or stocks that would be your top choice. Thank you again for your help. You are the best ever!!
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.

Q: I watched the apparent manipulation of the PGD stock price to "wash out" warrant buyers over the past couple of weeks.
Could you confirm how many shares were out standing before and then after the warrants closed last week.
I see it has shot up and getting near where it was before the warrant fiasco. However I can't tell what 0.35 stock price before the warrant issue is worth now that the warrants have been executed and diluted the stock price.
Thanks in advance, Mike

Q: Peter, could you comment on Mandalay's first quarter results and the shareholder rights plan just announced. Was the recent 10 cent drop to 82 cents related to the "in-the-works" rights plan ?? Are you still positive on this stock going forward??
Q: where would you rate this co.? b or c . and is the div safe at this point.
Q: Do you agree that Aquila's latest granting of options exercisable at .19 over the next five years is a positive development? They appear to be raising money to do more development work. Clearly there will be dilution and will be highly negative to the stock price if the development results are not encouraging. On a more positive note officers of the company will be putting some money into the company which is always a good sign. If the stock trades above 19 cents some insiders may exercise and sell which should provide more float. The company's officers appear to be legit not just promoters - however some promotion will be needed to raise development money. I also like the fact that the purchase of the options are stretched out over 5 years. Still a high risk stock of course.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Q: I just noticed that my rio alto has been replaced with Tahoe, what do you think of the newly formed company.
Q: Hi,
I read your response about Rio Tinto. I'm currently deciding between Rio and BHP for exposure to the materials sector. I currently have a small 2% position in Western Forest Products, but no base metal exposure. Which do you prefer between BHP and Rio and do you prefer the super majors vs canadian companies like First Quantum and Lundin?

Q: I have held RIO for some time hoping that it would recover. I realize it is cyclical but would like your opinion on whether it is worth holding or whether there is a better place for my money.
Really appreciate this service. Thanks, as always,
Joanne

Q: What is you view/outlook on BTO? Looks promising for the year ahead but it seems that gold prices under $1200/oz keeps BTO from moving. Is that a concern or do the merits of the company and growth potential be the reason for investing in spite of gold make dips under $1200/oz?
Thank You
Marc

Q: What's your best pick for the gold sector at this time. I have zero exposure, long time horizon and I am looking for growth most of all. I will sell my CCT holdings to pick up some gold exposure.
