The Calandra Report/TCR this weekend (the below private report first written and distributed as-is 24 hours ago, 12:30 p.m. Pacific time Friday August 15, 2020, to our paying subscribers. ) is for those who calculate most metals will resume their spring-summer price rally.

Time for the most obscure metals wanna-be‘s.
Thunderstruck Resources AWE/THURF, first reported here at The Calandra Report/TCR almost six years ago from New Orleans, says its two copper-zinc-gold-silver seeking exploration drill rigs are now at the nation’s headline island.
If someone did one of those mining/explorer maps with just dots somehow for each pub-co looking or holding or producing gold and silver and copper and zinc and etc-etc, the Fiji islands might get a handful of dots if you can spot these islands on the map. On a stock-market map globally, forget it: maybe $14 million fully accounted for. Tiny of the tinies.
Bryce Bradley tells me from Toronto, “Both the driller and geologist have arrived and in 14-day supervised quarantine, so everyone that needs to be there is there.”
Poasa waiting for quarantined geo and driller on main island of Fiji Thunderstruck’s field manager, Poasa is his name, greeting equipment and rig the other day; shipment includes air conditioning and BBQ grill for JOGMEC (Japan)’s venture witj Thunderstruck’s flagship copper-poly-metallic camp on the main island of Fiji.
FYI: a 4-hour or less flight for a Thunderstruck geologist — from Brisbane, Australia, to Fiji — took 50 hours — just don’t ask.
The quarantine is tough: pray, wish, ask genie for fast Internet and satellite TV. I know of this a bit here and there, having been under government house care maybe three times, and overnight thank you genie, not 14 days. Twiddle-dee, twiddle dum, we’ll treat you to a quarantini when this is over. Gin, of course.
I see Thunderstruck as a cheapest of the cheap heap in a copper-seeking, gold-charged, silver-short world, and one of these days, I hope to get to the copper, gold, polymetallic projects. I’ve tried over the years, believe me, having been waylaid or delayed over the years whilst touring projects in Asia a dozen or two times.
I first met Bryce Bradley a few weeks shy of 12 years ago in Toronto. She was on a shoestring then and she is now.
The AWE/THURF Thunderstruck properties are licensed concessions on the main island of Fiji. I used to own Thunderstruck shares and made a small amount of money years ago. I trust Bryce to make my next purchase a prevailing success.
The company’s big mining brother on Fiji is successful Lion One Metals, whose Tuvatu project is publishing tiny and lengthy intercepts of mega-gram gold this summer in the first drill hole. The press releases seem frequent, but that is probably what it takes to get attention in a rousing commodities scene and see your stock outpace other explorers.
I met the Lion One folks first in Vancouver, then SF, then everywhere but Fiji these past 8 or 9 years; I think it was a pub in Vancouver. Anyway, had I taken their advice, and especially that of LIO’s CFO and business development director, I would have ownership of a $240 million USD holding (LIO in Canada) that at the time was probably less than $40 million.
As with Thunderstruck, Lion One Metals’ projects are on Fiji, the main island.
