RE:RE:RE:NCU
Copper Spot prices are trending over the 52 week high as copper supply is now being reported as low. YouTube actually has some decent videos on the subject if you search "Copper Price".
NCU is online and producing ore. That ore is now being sold at (or over) these 52 week highs.
The challenge faced at the moment is funding to bring the rest of the mine online and to get the underground crusher online. They have an above-ground crusher up and running so the additional crusher will help increase to mine to full nameplate production.
Funding for the additional work has been reported as needing external / additional funding and the mine operators are seeking that funding. Pala may / may not be open to providing the funds but this has yet to be seen.
If copper spot price should remain high or continue to trend higher as projected then the additional funding may simply come from the partial operation of the mine without the need for external funding. This may take awhile but may also work in conjunction with external funding if the operation can off-set the amount of external funds needed by it's sale of ore.

Those are old numbers which do not take into account recent difficulties and delays, nor do they account for financing needs and delays. My point is that this company has a history of failure and underperformance, as does this deposit, so be wary. You wish to see the very most optimistic view available in all avenues. Maybe you are correct. Good luck.

That may be a good bedtime story for your kids, but try telling it to a financial institution when seeking funding...

Most ug mines go way over guidance on development. New gold rainy river. Pure gold red lake. Premiur gold Golden triangle. So ph is about the same. 5.00 copper is helping:)) Nf

Any idea what the current major holders plan to do with the cheap infrastructure when they get it? Do you think they will sell it off or keep mining?

ROFLMAO ! U hav kno idea - foggy notion - that infrastructure is by Ion Elon $$$ besides his chit-chat box.. he owns 50 banks and invst companies/private.. he has poured billions into N West Nevada - California.. 50 NCI employees to 350 - less than a year... Chewing gum in the office waiting to mine. thats rite in there w a 4 star Lt Colonel - Snaildater !

If u r talking about pH, the major sh already own 90% I doubt they will for close on themselves. Q 2 should be paying the bills with copper. Hoping for 4 times copper in q2 and then 4 more times in q3 Be nice if piping and crusher was all commissioned by q3. Happy guessing?? Nf
