RE:The volune and the upMiner,
Williams Lake will be a shadow of it's self if NP doesn't go. They recently reduced the AAC or annual timber harvest from 4.5 million meters to 2.5 million meters due to beatle harvesting. There will not be a new town though.
Not sure if Justin will allow NP to go ahead. It would be great but the Chilcotin are hard negotiators and traditionally very warlike. They used to go up to Stuart lake and kill the children of the carrier and take their wives.
As for volumes TKO was not alone today. They big buy is on I believe. China after slowing down for 5 years will speed up and India and Brazil are right behind.
It's been tough but I am glad I averaged down and look forward to getting back to even. As for the inside trading if Russ was doing a tax loss turn around and had board approval to buy back in before the red kite deal was done it might be ok but it does stink a little bit. The red kite deal alone however didn't fly the SP very much, it's more about the turn around in the copper market more than any other factor currently.
