The two plainclothes officers, a man and a woman, encountered Radcliffe Meeks, 33, of 182-21 N. Conduit on the corner of Elmira Avenue and Dunkirk Street, according to police. After the officers identified themselves to Meeks, a struggle ensued between him and the officers during which the male officer was slashed on the left side of his face from his throat to his ear with a carpet knife, authorities said.The woman officer fired a round of shots, hitting Meeks in the right elbow, police said.The wounded officer was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and Meeks to Mary Immaculate Hospital, and they were both listed in stable condition, authorities said. The female police officer was unharmed."We were one inch Ð one inch Ð away from tragedy," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at Jamaica Hospital Tuesday night, according to his spokesman. "If the knife had cut slightly differently, it would have cut the jugular."Police recovered a carpet knife at the scene of the incident.The two police officers were not identified, but reports said they were part of the narcotics squad. The male officer was a five-year veteran, and the female officer had 11 years of experience.Meeks was charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon Tuesday, police said. Reports said that Meeks had had two prior arrests for assaulting a police officer.

Forum News Service, Published March 28 2013
New Minnesota bridge project on scheduleHASTINGS, Minn. - Just two months from now, one lane of traffic in each direction will be running on the new U.S. Highway 61 bridge over the Mississippi River in Hastings.
Steve Kordosky, the project manager from the Minnesota Department of Transportation, said this week that the bridge is right on schedule.
He expects the shift to occur in late May or right around the first of June.
Once traffic is routed onto the new bridge, work will begin immediately to demolish and remove the portion of the current bridge that is in downtown Hastings. That piece needs to be removed so that crews can finish the final two lanes of the new bridge.
Demolition of that piece of the current bridge is expected to last about a week. Work would then begin to finish the new bridge.
All four lanes of the new bridge, two in each direction, would open to traffic on or before Dec. 13. The contractor has a financial incentive to finish up to 30 days prior to that deadline.
Kordosky expects to see evening and weekend work on the bridge this summer.
"It will require long hours and weekend shifts this summer," he said. "They have a lot of work to do to get that … approach done."

text: The Charybdis wiki last edited by Deadknight on 10/14/14 06:38PM View full history OriginCharybdis was born as the daughter of Poseidon and Gaia, and faithfully served her father as the goddess of the tides. She aided him in his feud with Zeus by helping him engulf lands and entire islands in water. Angry over the land she had stolen from him, Zeus cursed Charybdis into the form of a monster like a bladder, with flippers for arms and legs, and an unquenchable thirst for the sea. This forced her to drink the water of the sea three times a day in an effort to sate her thirst, only to belch it back out, creating enormous whirlpools in the process. Living under a rock, Charybdis stayed on one end of a narrow channel, with another monster, Scylla, living across from her on the opposite side, forming a strait.The sides of the strait were within an arrow shot of each other, and any sailors attempting to avoid the reach of one of them would be unable to avoid that of the other. "Between Scylla and Charybdis" thereby became a phrase referring to having to choose between two dangers, either of which would bring harm.CreationCharybdis first featured in the ancient Greek story of The Odyssey, a tale of the hero Odysseus and his long and arduous journey from the Trojan War back to his homeland. This story was originally recited by poets and minstrels during a period when Greece had no written language. At around 800 BC, the Greek scribe Homer put the story down in writing for the first time.Charybdis was known as a mythological sea monster, but was later rationalized as a whirlpool that was considered a shipping hazard in the Strait of Messina.Major Story ArcsAncient LiteratureThe OdysseyAt many points within this epic poem, Odysseus is hindered by the efforts of Poseidon and his sea monsters throughout the ocean. Odysseus faced both Charybdis and Scylla while rowing through their narrow channel. He ordered his men to avoid Charybdis so as not to lose their entire ship to her, forcing them to pass near Scylla, resulting in the death of six of his men.Later, stranded on a raft, Odysseus finds himself swept back through the strait to face Scylla and Charybdis once more. This time, Odysseus passes near Charybdis, causing his raft to be sucked into her gaping maw. He managed to survive by clinging to a fig tree growing on a rock over her lair. When Charybdis expelled the water back out, his raft came back out as well. Odysseus recovered it and then paddled away safely.Jason and The ArgonautsThe Argonauts were able to avoid both the dangers of Charybdis and Scylla because they were guided by Thetis, one of the Nereids.Powers & AbilitiesCharybdis was originally a goddess before being cursed into her monstrous form by Zeus, and so presumably possessed the immortality and divine powers inherent to the Gods of Olympus, as well as the power to control water like her father, Poseidon.As a sea monster, Charybdis was an enormous aquatic creature capable of swallowing massive amounts of water. The exact size of Charybdis remains unknown, but in order to consume ships, the whirlpool she created when she fed could be estimated to be at least about 23 meters (75 feet) wide.

"Dragon Madonna" by stan bruns
Translation for the rune border - poem I wrote on the topic of motherhood, titled "Motherlode".
A note about the artwork... The original rendering is entirely done by hand, with tiny steel point ink pens (crowquill, speedball and rapidograph) plus some brushwork for the heavy lines. The ink, once applied, cannot be erased, covered up or modified in any way without leaving harsh "footprints". The source is purely from my imagination, of course...
The original pen and ink drawing is about 3 feet wide, so this is an extremely large scale piece (given that the smallest pens used for each and every single line and dot are hypodermic in size).Back To tripleblack's Instablog HomePage »

TB, thanks. An upbeat interview, but their fiscal 2011 results haven't done a whole lot for the share price.
Jack Lifton's opinions picked up by Reuters:
"That's why you don't want the biggest deposits, you don't want to have to process hundreds of tonnes at horrendous cost. You're looking for the highest grade heavy rare earths and the least cost to recover them. It's a question of economics," Lifton said.
The emphasis shifting to the first movers has always been in the cards - and now it shines some light onto the motivation behind the fierce battle among the leading 3 company's fans.
TB, I agree with all of your choices except maybe Ucore. I would like to add Avalon rare metals (AVL) and possibly Matamec (MTCEF.)
Neither are perfect, AVL is in no-mans land, and Matamec is overall a small resource. AVL is just too large to ignore, and Matamec would be a nice target for M & A.
I would include both of those in any second tier list. AVL would be a runnerup to QRM, and MTCEF is one that I used to believe would be a M&A target, and it yet might, but now I think it will be a longer term (out past 2016+) consideration.
Jeb Handwerger is taking a swing at the "rare earths arn't rare" crowd. Good for you Jeb!
More from Toronto...
And how tired am I?
When JPM downgraded Moly I found myself in the bizarre position of being a Molydog. I did my best for Smith arguing against the "rare earths aren't rare" shorters. Funny thing is they did not show up till near the market bottom and they are already hard to find.
I'm not a "ban shorts" guy, but in conversation I wish these guys had the same fundamental standards as most longs.
for a little levity... bet you can't resist taking a peak after reading the comments above:
Hi Chi, to add to your comments on the juniors, it would appear that today's sour investing climate may just favor the juniors that know how to conserve valuable capital. There is not a lot of "go team go" enthusiasm at this point in time and while I am sure there is a point where this will change, the fact remains these are tough times to go to the well…
I'd say cash is king already. Pretenders large and small are going to have a hard time raising cash. The interest in rare earth explorers is much less than in the Spring. Those companies funded with low burn rates will continue full speed. Those unable to do offerings will see their timelines extended. I do not like AVL (mentioned above) because of this. They are a long way from earnings with massive capital still needed and a long timeline already. Same goes for anything in Greenland.
Apparently the Alaskan government is interested in building a hydro electric dam near Bokan Mountain. It was explained to me that Alaska being a very project friendly state may push the case to develop it's resources, namely Bokan…

Busy day but I'll bite on this and wish you guys well till the evening
ALK (Alkane)
Peak, Frontier and/or Montero merge and are bought.
Arafura and the crown resource gets bought and Forge challenges Lynas in the future (just to shake things up :-))
One question, how many countries determine they need REE's for strategic purposes and keep any mines in thier country afloat no matter what? I thinks the number will be well above 9 just because of the political influence. Like we have never seen that before......looking at the stock screen comes to mind....daily....stick saves. PPT, currency manipulations......jeeze its mind boggling.
I think it is a good point. Several people believe dig them and the technologies will come when the supply chain is secure. This makes a lot of sense to me. The "experts" in every price analysis seem to see supply being easy to create but demand is hard to grow in their minds.
A story in today's Financial Times -- "Rare earth challenge for Germany."
The Indians must be getting more interested in Africa's rare earths by now, too. We'll likely see some deals along those lines in the future.
The top
from the 1980s -90s to the present. Can you hear folks back in the day say - "why on earth would you need 2 gigabytes of memory...." I'm hoping as new abundant supplies come on line, new tech and uses will come forth and utilize these light and heavy rare earths.
An ever increasing economic cycle will hopefully occur as we move further into the technological era.
The fact that Lisa Murkowski is one of the rabble-rousers in this article may bode well for UCore, TB.
with each listing getting 1% of my TOTAL (not REE) portfolio
and, with the remaining 0.75% (9.75 companies is still < 4% :)) going to UURAF or a draft choice to be named later.
I think we are going to see a lot more articles like this based on the Moly WastePaste idea. It sounds like a fraud to me. They want to take their waste combine it with their tailings and stack it up on a liner. This stack on a liner is suppose to replace a pond. And in Moly's latest they are thinking about monazite processing at Mountain Pass. This is all after Moly had a pond leak previously and also has a "superfund clean-up" responsibility in New Mexico still.
The new owner of the New Mexico site, Chevron, has the responsibility for the cleanup. Molycorp is in the clear on that as far as I can tell. They might have had to reduce the sell price of their molybdenum mine several years ago to compensate for the estimated cost of the cleanup.
The waste paste idea at Mountain Pass does seem a bit problematical. There may be leakage problems with it when stray remnants of hurricanes off of the Western Mexican Coast find their way blown north in some autumns. The area has an occasional seasonal monsoonal flow from the south much like the Rocky Mountain states do but the predominant weather patterns come from the warm dry air flows from the north and west.
The old waste pond at the southern tip of Ivanpah Dry Lake probably has to be sprayed occasionally in order to keep down the dust from blowing with the prevailing winds eastward to the hamlet of Nipton.
The old wastewater pipeline was removed by Chevron as far as I can tell about two years ago. A pdf document about would have to be opened at this link.
Chevron was the previous owner of Mountain Pass. They must have made an agreement with Molycorp to help with the cleanup.
Your Superfund responsibilities are correct (poor word choice on my part), but my point about the New Mexico site should be that Molycorp has a culture of pollution in it's past.
I tend to agree with you, chihawk, about those waste storage risks. Maybe Moly is getting some advice from the military at Fort Irwin or China Lake about how best to handle dangerous waste in the desert environment. It will be interesting to see what the EPA thinks about any thorium generated in that setting. Perhaps the thorium would have to be shipped north via Route 127 to Yucca Mountain for storage.
It might be better to ship any hazardous waste to Fort Irwin. Moly could contract with the military since the military has an interest in rare earth. The military seems to know how to handle the waste.

Public Briefing
Legal Action - Legal Issues Lynas
My blogger friend "luckymjohnson" posted this on Hot Copper.
It is a photo of the Town Hall Meeting I mentioned above:
Great photo. Did anyone else notice the sign in the back of the room that says, "Will the last person to leave quietly turn off the lights so as not to awaken those still sleeping?"
At the boot camp in Toronto we were able to sit down with a Senior Chemist from Australia.
Mark Smith was just on CNBC and was very bullish on demand. he made the comment that Moly was going to accelerate Project Phoenix by 6 months at an ADDITIONAL cost of $115m…
My understanding is the six month acceleration is a "pie in the sky" promise applying to Phase two and the pie in the sky promise for Phase one is 3 months acceleration. I know Moly's main production is pie in the sky these days, but that's my current understanding of the Moly bakery.:-)
Keep in mind his 5 weeks of production is when Moly is at the 40k tpa that Moly says with a level of assumption never seen in any mining. But let face it that's the Moly way.
I think the $115 million is very interesting. It was approved by the board rather than being done as a public raising. Moly seems to be saying it will come from current funding and earnings from current production. Because the $115 million was an approval by the Moly Board no accounting was needed or provided. Is it funding pulled forward? Is Moly really this well funded with a PE of 150? Maybe. But my guess is if markets are strong there will be an offering "for acquisitions and other business activities" (code words for Phoenix is actually over budget).
I've done and instablog with Moly photos here:
Doctor Marino is a smart guy. He has worked on Mt. Weld and has a lot of experience. But keep in mind when he does not worry about grade he means that from an extraction point of view as a metallurgist. The grade of ore remains key because there is a limit to the amount of concentrate you can put through a Materials Processing Plant. The whole reason mines concentrate ore is to reduce the total ore fed into processing.
On a separate thought where I agree more with Doctor Marino. Several analysts are emphasizing the prices of pure oxides (99.99% pure) listed in the Asian metal pages and suggesting the less pure prices will be much lower and thus these mines will have much less than expected revenue. This is more wrong than right in most cases based on the solvent extraction process you mention. If the impurities are inert or simple to remove then the additional purifying is inexpensive and a small issue. But if the impurities cannot be removed from the oxide then as a contaminant they would reduce the value of the 99% REO produced.
Hi Chi, what's your take on Mark Smith's comments today where he said the acceleration of Project Phoenix will cut 6 months off the construction time at a cost of $115m?
Good article and better comments on raremetalblog...
Article shows a possible softening position of the opposition party The Pahang Barisan Nasional…
Anyway the article makes for good reading...
Fishing boat incident also on Rare Metal Blog..
I can't see how this fishing boat matters in that the quotas are down and the WTO argument has changed to more of a quota/production/supply argument now that China ordered some domestic shutdown. I think China will reduce the quota in 2012 citing on coming supply and the need to shut down domestic production. That argument should work without fishing boat drama.
The following is from a Malaysian blog page I thought was pretty good:
- The raw material factory in Bukit Merah is a waste of tin industry, the dung ore
: - Lynas is the land of raw materials (tailings) from mines and not WASTE .
: - Content of radioactive materials Lynas is far lower than the raw materials and waste of ARE Queenstown
: - Content of radioactive material in the raw materials of ARE Queenstown is 37 times higher than Lynas
: - Content of radioactive material in Queenstown ARE waste is 60 times higher than Lynas.
Other friends brought up that a lot more dangerous industrial activities likely occur in the Gebeng Industrial Park where the LAMP is being built. I think that is a good point too. LAMP waste technically is neither "industrial waste" or "hazardous" by either way Lynas is responsible for the safe long term disposal of the tailings and residues from the processing and filtering of the LAMP waters.
Interesting internal appointment/promotions at GW:
GWMG is also pleased to announce the appointment of Ian Higgins to the position of Managing Director, Metals and Alloys, with overall responsibility for LCM and Great Western Technologies Inc. Dr. Higgins, who holds a Ph. D. in Materials Science, is a highly experienced rare earth technical expert who joined LCM in 2001. He has been responsible for the day-to-day operations of LCM as well as procurement of rare earth materials from China.
Additionally, GWMG is pleased to announce the appointment of David Murphy as Commercial Director of LCM. Mr. Murphy, who has over thirty years of experience in the rare earths sector with LCM, and previously with Johnson Matthey Rare Earth Products where he was General Manager, is responsible for sales, marketing and customer support at LCM.
All appointments are effective immediately.
GWMG President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Engdahl said, "These appointments significantly strengthen our management team and our corporate structure. "
Largo Resources (LGORF) -- tungsten, vanadium, is up nearly 25% today. I wonder what's going on. I guess the announcement from last week about the loan from the Brazilian government to develop the Maracás Vanadium Project
More rare earth companies in China suspending production as prices slide
I believe there is a hidden agenda behind the big primary re producers in China (aka, "The Cartel") cutting off production. This is a simple and extremely effective way to starve the hundreds of small refiners (like GQD, reported to be one of the largest of the private operators) who are utterly dependent upon them now that the outlaw mines have been closed down. Already starving, these small companies will start winking out of existance like a cloud of mosquitos encountering a bug zapper.
So is GQD a little knife maker likely to be starved by the production control in China? Or is it the big shot GW claims they are and thus will benefit as a survivor? Or is it like the Great Western Minions say- small enough to desperately need the almighty GW, but large enough to be the world's greatest JV partner? Just trying to understand the pumping so I buy enough shares of it of course.:-)
GQD is one of the larger private rare earth processors, but very small compared to the Cartel (of course). The smaller guys are doomed, particularly those with no sideline (like making ceramic knives). In a year "small, private, rare earth refiner" will be an oxymoron. A year back there were more than a thousand such companies in China.
Lynas has a mix of news today:
I am just skeptical on reading into anything when volume is low given the secondary offering nearing, as agents will likely do what they have to in order to support or move ahead share price.
I agree with your timeline and think it is more the result of slow construction on the LAMP then Malaysian approvals. I can't imagine that the Malaysian government believes an on site walk through will satisfy "Save Malaysia". I think they are doing this to look cooperative since the LAMP won't be done yet anyway.
"Lynas' documents are in their third revision and will continue to be revised until all conditions are met," he said. "The government has decided to make the documents transparent. So we don't want a document that we have approved and made transparent to receive a hammering from the rakyat."
He said certain documents, like the ones on waste management, were evolving and questions would remain unanswered until the pre-operating stage was over.
I've been a reader over there forever when I had Neo Materials and Montero Mining. I stopped by at GWG and saw wwwater doing his usual BS and just decided after all of the delays saying 2012 or sooner was over the top. I figure I make some quick comments then maybe throw a link to here and to http://bit.ly/tTG4dA along the way. That's all.
Here is a snippet from a comment I posted to the QC back in 2009 on the topic of the RE sector:
That's what the old QCs and Concentrators on SA are, Aq, a time machine. I copied those 2 comments into the very first REE/Strat. Concentrator. I guess you noticed the bit about $.14 GWM stock in there (it was in response to an observation that GWM stock was "not moving", I think). At the time I was a proponent of investing in rare earth plays like GWM and Lynas (and of course, I still am), despite the really poor charts and low stock values for them back then...
It is a time machine but I want my own time machine so I could go back and invest with you guys! Remember, I am a relative newcomer to this wonderful blog that you have created. And you guys collectively have a huge depth of knowledge that is remarkable. I don't know how I originally found this blog but I am glad that I did.
well that blows my $5 by Christmas theory. I would have had a fighting chance if they would ever announce the JV and financing. I hope you are wrong this time TB and it is much higher than that in 3 years.
Put in kiln in Quebec and you might have a point.
From my perspective, they will have similar multiples from here forward. I have Lynas at 22kmt by then, and GWM at 5kmt, with a 5x multiple vs current trading range. GWM is probably fairly priced (for their current situation) whereas I feel that Lynas is not, and should be at about $2.30 already. A 5x return is nothing to sneeze at, for either company, in just 2 or 3 years. (or a 100x return for 4 or 5 years for some of us for GWM).
If it were 2008 and we were talking about the future prospects, I would tend to see more of a level playing field... But its just reality that we ARE in a race to market, and Lynas is the heavy favorite to win the race. And to the winner goes the prize, ie, in this case, a large market cap with powerful prospects for using the muscle to leverage more of the same.
Since we are going back in time a bit. Any comments on J. Kaisers
views about Lynas Corp? His models see a best case scenario of around $ 4- 5. / sp.
I agree Lynas is not fairly priced IF the Malaysians get out of the way. I have said it before - Chi will take exception most likely- but the chart still says that nothing is written in stone and folks are still taking a wait and see on the permit for LAMP. if approved, it should go back to 2.50+ I guess.
I'm taking enough exception elsewhere.:-)
I think Lynas is fine. Once producing a rapid rise is likely. I think AELB approval gives Lynas a $2 share price.
First feed is a $3 share price.
$4 after production.
And a 10 multiple once proper ramp up is achieved at 11k tpa and then 22k tpa.
I'm not really counting right now. I am waiting and adding. I do not invest based on Malaysian Insider stories. The stories in the Malaysian Insider that never make Bernama or the rest of the Malaysian newspapers do not get the same weight from me. Too much of the Malaysian Insider information throughout this year has proved to altered or fabricated.
The Malaysian Insider is just out with an article about how AELB says that Lynas is still non-compliant: "Lynas Corp has failed to meet any of the conditions set out by a government review despite filing three proposals so far to obtain a pre-operating licence for its controversial RM1.5 billion rare earth plant, according to the local nuclear regulators."
While this is a new article, it's old news. Basically, Lynas's submission to AELB had been knocked back in September. They then re-submitted their application, presumably addressing the issues raised by AELB and that submission is now in AELB's hands and being considered. One would hope that, after 3 or 4 goes at it, they will get it right. This is as much about AELB showing they are not mucking around. Also, because Lynas has agreed to make the final submission public (not in accordance with standard AELB policy) I'm sure AELB will want to have something that will withstand any outside scrutiny. Personally, my only concern with this new information is whether Lynas is really (or is capable at this stage) addressing the issues or whether they are trying to kick the can down the road.
Lynas on their own started out this year trying to kick the can down the road. That was stupid in my opinion. My guess is they were still trying to kick it down the road at first with ALEB. That was even dumber and has put them on a 4th submission. But this process should lead to approval.
Precisely my thinking as well, Mercy. I have a $1.14 buy target for Lynas right now, and this sort of thing is probably behind today's dip (close to my target, but not quite there just yet). If I weren just entering this tock, I would consider this dip buyable at this point.

Food for thought, nothing specific to REE's but about China in general, Great Read!
I'm sure it's all my fault over there and they'll make me the punching bag which is fine. Overall I've enjoyed the whole walkabout for now. The insults are easy to ignore when you don't even know the guys. And it is a good break from the Malaysian politics. The pricing or repricing on the GW offering should have an announcement one way or another very soon. Something to watch.
And one last piece of advice...
I would never tell anyone to lie to their spouse. But if you already lie to them, this is a lousy night to start coming clean.:-)
(GWMGF) Two rather large trades on the Pinks, are we seeing evidence that the offering is not holding up or if so at a reduced price?
Did you all catch this trouble in Malawi?
Yes, that's one that has been lurking since Lynas first mentioned Malawi. Its the "Africa Risk Factor", something that is present everywhere on the continent (though to varying degrees, of course).
Trade is quiet but a lot is going on behind the sceens:
Moly has an earnings call after the close.
GW should announce they priced or are repricing or have another approach to the capital raise?

Lynas in midst of Malawi crisis
November 10, 2011
My opinion:
Someone felt unfairly treated by the government going back to 2003. They have been fighting the issue for a while most likely. Now their legal people told them to notify everyone in the chain of title. So Lynas gets put on notice and puts the announcement out before the AGM. Good disclosure IMO.
I think if a suit is filed Lynas would get named in the chain of title but I'm not sure a suit at this stage eight years later has much teeth in it. I doubt it. Overall, minimal news IMO. We'll have to wait and see.
There's nothing minimal about this, other than the casual and minimalized way Lynas announced it.
<The High Court of Malawi has ordered that the Kangankunde tenements in question – potentially a billion-dollar project – not be transferred at all. It has ordered that the rights to the rich rare earths deposit be returned to Michael Saner, a South African geologist who controlled the exploration licence in 2003.
In fact, the dispute threatens to turn into a full-blown political and constitutional crisis in the African republic as the Mines Ministry and Government are in contempt of the Malawi High Court.>
That is The Age's position on the matter.
I don't see their side of it (nor does the market yet). If the project unwinds that would be a bigger deal. I think the sale to Lynas goes through due to the time span and value change so Saner ends up with a damages claim against the government. Perhaps, Saner ends up with $4m USD (What Lynas paid the Malawi Government for this deposit) but not the $100M pursued in his suit against the Malawi Government. Note Lynas is not named in the suit and is not yet being sued.
All those things you say make sense. I don't know how you know what Lynas has had a chance to assert, however. I question that assumption.
Plus, anytime you have the highest court in the land ignored by another branch of government, (especially in an African nation--where they are trying so hard to bring in investment dollars and behave in a stable way) there is real trouble and uncertainty. (Just look at what the US Government created with eminent domain, as an example here in the USA of a government land grab and special treatment to crony companies).
The fact is, the property could be held hostage for a long, long time and ( utlimately) cost Lynas plenty.
Very valid points about Malawi governing and the caution to investment (which I would extend to most of Africa in general).
Here is an overview of Malawi that contains a description of their court system:
Good news for GW.
Their Private Placement closed at $0.63.
Yep. Estimate (rosy analists) of $.70/share, hit $.67. Converence call follows. Spin will flow like wine...
MCP chose NOT to recognize sale of $37m to SilMet, which is probably the "right thing" to do longer term (and less deceptive, though recognizing the "earnings" now would be more popular with short term investors gambling on a pop today).
A S.A. contributor thinks they are outperforming by certain measures.
I would think that earnings reports would be more newsworthy once Phase 1 gets closer to completion. I'm still on my wait and see stance.
Its important to realize that CNBC shills for Moly like nobody's business. What other stock gets kit glove BS with their report like Moly? Why? Because the insiders making a mint are tied to shops that furnish guests?
All the same the Moly spin game is impervious to earnings and father time. No doubt the call will say Phoenix is so great we should ignore the miss. And no doubt the analysts will say the empty piles of earth at Mountain Pass as just about done. But as a long term investor in Lynas I see Phoenix bound for a delay and the Lynas first mover advantage widening. Still, I remain open minded and look forward to the information inside the spin that is the signature of most Moly calls.
How many man hours do they estimate for the completion of Phoenix Phase 1? and for Phase 2?
Slide 18
500,000 Hours complete with no lost time accidents at Mountain Pass
Compared to Lynas over 5 mil man hours LTI free
Moly-Phoenix is about a $750 million budget that must involve big man hours. How many is the estimate so we can further gage progress.
It might be a good idea for them by now to be more definitive about what is meant by Phase 2 of Project Phoenix. Or does news like that wait until after the holidays?
For the BLM's* decisions on Molycorp and Kern River Gas related projects, contact J. Najar at the Needles field office. By clicking on Najar's name, an email window will open.
*Bureau of Land Management
I think Lynas looks great when you focus on the company. The construction delay is frustrating but the Quarterly Report shows great progress in the photos and the delay appears to be a few weeks. Curtis gave that impression on the call.
The protesting is not constant. The protests have sharply declined in number and frequency since the Father's Day protest. The politics seem manageable to me. Malaysia Insider feels differently. I disagree and added to LYC last night. I'm glad I did. My prediction: AELB approval in early December and lows in November are never seen again in Lynas.
Northern has published details of 2 major shareholders selling off their holdings recently (about 1.5million shares): http://bit.ly/t22z4U
I guess they don't want to wait. I understand but I will add down the road. Nice presentation out now:
Yes Lynas looks good as a company but I think they are a reflection of N. Curtis and as we all know his previous actions with Crown still linger with Institutional investors. Not having a long term storage plan in place prior to all the developmental/construc... costs are reckless.
I will never understand how you all are so enamored of Molycorp. It is mining NOTHING except the pockets of the bag holders. I will also never get why you all are such bashers of the company that will most likely be the first to produce heavies outside of China AND might just beat to market Lynas (LAMP not going so hot) and Molycorp (big scam) heavy AND otherwise. The management is, IMO, completely trustworthy and with integrity,in sharp contrast to Moly. Whatever...
"South African Official Barred" is the title of the article in today's WSJ about the ANC's suspending Malema for 5 years for "bringing the party into disrepute and sowing divisions with in it." He was found not guilty of racism and intolerance. Last month he led a march of 5000 protestors demanding mining nationalization and economic wealth redistribution.
35 did not hold on (MCP). I guess it will try to fill that teeny gap at 32.60. If that doesn't hold then it is obviously going to test the recent low.
From a TA perspective I agree.
But even on the fundamentals, what are the upcoming catalysts for this trading favorite? I mean we saw numbers, guidance, Phoenix pictures, and got all of the updates. It seems its time for them to just get to work. But without the pumping there is still a high valuation and they will need time to earn that valuation. I think they can still trade lower.
I'll bite and disagree with the "not worth mentioning" part. I comment here rarely as I'm not the most technically astute person in this room by a long shot (tipping my hat in Chihawk's, Tripleblack's, and the rest of the gang's direction with gratitude), but NTU's (NOURF.PK) property qualities, geography, management, investors, and all the qualities that make it a good takeover candidate as well, make it my only rare earth position right now. Among things discussed in this blog I also own (IAALF.PK). That's it for me currently.
I still can't work up much enthusiasm about NTU's rare earth holdings. Their Brown Range diggings are too far away from surfaced highways in the Outback to be of much use in the short term. It would mean that somebody with some clout would have to invest in upgrading the haul roads of several dozens of miles in length to the nearest graveled highway, the Duncan Road, going to the nearest town of Halls Creek. The ores would then be sent from there on a modern paved highway to the port at Wyndham. Their John Galt prospects are bordered on the east by the Purnululu Conservation Reserve and the Mabel Downs Crown Land to the south. Purnululu is strongly influenced by the United Nations for being part of the Purnululu World Heritage Site. I'm still not sure if any miners care to be neighbors with the United Nations particularly. Mabel Downs is just downstream on the Frank River drainage and is controlled by the government. The government will be certain to raise concerns if there is any pollution from mining coming from upstream. It all smacks of heavy government involvement, lobbying and serious negotiations being brought into the mix. I hope it works out for them.
I like their other kinds of holdings, though. I hope they can refrain from selling their easily accessible phosphate properties in the Northern Territory, for instance. Phosphate is fairly scarce and valuable in that area of the world.
There seems to be a chance that the highway networks might be improved in Northwestern Australia simply for strategic considerations. That would tend to help the miners in the region get their ores to where industries can make good use of them.
Moly is hitting new day lows but it does not seem to be effecting the other stocks much. Very different then the JPM down grade day when all got hurt. I guess the miss and sell down are seen as company specific and not based on REE pricing or demand. I wonder if people see the additional funding for acceleration as hurting the on budget claim they restated in the call? Anyone reading any interesting comments out there? This is a pretty quiet 14% drop if such is possible.
I don't recall seeing this posted - apologies if it's a repeat.
(GWMGF): "South African Official Barred"
Gareth Hatch wrote his interpretation of the MCP investor call.
Valley Boy,
You have a unique research skill set and approach towards stocks. A subject came up that I think you could provide great insight to with your research talents. On the link OG posted above:
Now, If they have no fuel pipeline permit for their generating plant (nearly built), and they have no construction currently underway for any of the Phoenix project infrastructure, Can you explain how they could possibly complete the 19,000 TPA phase one and begin production by the end of September 2012...
I reviewed the website again, ...and they seem to have removed the video of the pipeline route. I did see in the flyover video a line of trucks doing something in the pit, described as mining. Such was not the case just last week when I visited the site."
I appreciate your thoughts or information if you get the chance.
Chi- Poncho is a big believer in GW. You sure you want to trust that guy's opinion? ;) Just saying!
It looks like the gas pipeline is still hung up on in the regulatory approval process, chihawk. I would think if the Mountain Pass Lateral is still tied up in the process by Summer 2012, the gas would have to be trucked to the generating plant. That would be a bit easier to accomplish now that the truck lanes on Interstate 15 going over Mountain Pass have been constructed as of early in 2010. The freeway is now six lanes going over the pass instead of four lanes.
The permit would have to be granted to Kern River Gas Transmission Company. They propose to build a lateral to the Mountain Pass Mine from their main transmission line connecting the gas rich counties of Lincoln County, Wyoming, with Kern County, California. The transmission line crosses Keany Pass located north of the Mountain Pass Mine thereby constituting the northern boundary of the Clark Mountain Unit of Mojave National Preserve. The lateral would connect the mine to the transmission line close by the eastern boundary of the Clark Mountain Unit. The lateral would go through tortoise habitat on the upper alluvial slopes on the eastern edges of the Clark Mountain Range.
Here's a description of the main transmission line.
Here's a description of the lateral.
A map of the lateral is shown on page 25 of this presentation.
The regulatory delay can be described by comparing the two Federal Register notices of different dates. You might want to scroll down a little on Page 62397 to navigate to the start of the second notice dated October 2011.
The delay appears to have more to do with the impact on the tortoise population than any other factor.
For BLM's role about Kern River's gas meter decision, the contact is Najar at the Needles Field Office.
Some government discussions can be viewed by clicking on the links at this Federal Energy Regulatory Commission webpage.
Molycorp must be confident that Kern River Gas will eventually obtain the regulatory approval to build the lateral. Molycorp has to provide for tortoise disturbance mitigation efforts in any case. It is an interesting story to follow.
This is great research VB. It looks like there is a lot of ground to cover here. I see what you are saying about the pipeline and the tortoise population. I know in the last few months Molycorp started talking about the tortoise preservation and on their call they say starting up three months early but did not say construction complete in April 2012 which would be a three month acceleration from their earlier construction complete in July 2012.
But even if all goes as planned with Kern River I think commissioning without the gas line permit is not possible. Yes, they can truck in gas, but they have other power already. So if co-gen power is Phoenix (and I think this is a big chunk of the cost savings) then you need to power to commission it. And if I understand Poncho right, they really need the power to properly build Phoenix as well.
So if I add it all up Moly seems to lack, man hours and energy and has mounds of dirt with minimal construction. Down the road this could work out, but I don't see 2012 at all.
He can like GW and be a smart guy. I don't I have the same full portfolio view as anyone. But considering the research, the guy is thorough. If he gave me the same great research in a GW bull case, I would rethink that view (believe it or not).
You are correct about Poncho, he has been a leader on the Yahoo board, makes good points and is a staunch GWM supporter. Stay away from the Yahoo board, the posting there has been ruined by an individual and apparently they can't get his IP (internet protocol) address and port number to correct the problem. Anyway, Poncho would be a good addition to the board…
I think Gareth made a great point about Moly's real situation. I put my man hours point into an article that contains the slides in the links I mention. I think it makes the man hours point much clearer. Check out the link if you are interested:
Latest article on Lynas' Malawi claim from the Sydney Morning Herald today. It provides some historical sequencing details: http://bit.ly/vOt2ul
Clearly this dispute is larger than Lynas has led on, but I'm not sure I understand Saner's apparent "media approach" either. For now I think we will have to wait for more facts to know the strength of the claim.
Kangankunde is not critical to the future of Lynas. It is valuable and if lost or reduced it would reduce the current NPV and thus the share price. Kangankunde offers a second mine source that aides Lynas expansion. But the mine offers a source of elements similar to the Duncan Deposit at a lower ore grade. So long term there is value in Kangankunde, but it does not effect the development into a profitable junior and it's potential earning are about a year and a half away at the earliest based on the last conference call (if memory serves me).
Malawi revisited, Here are three historical articles that help frame the issues--Saner's license was taken by the President of Malawi, according to the 2004 article!
from 2004:
from 2009
Interesting articles OG, It seems to me that these resources would be most valuable to Lynas and not so much for Saner (or other interested parties)… Lynas (LAMP) is the only facility in the region that can process concentrate and as we all know a facility to process REE's particularly for a deposit this size will cost hundreds of millions to construct...
My thanks to Chi, VB and OG for both original commentary and xlnt research in providing all the info above!
I'm happy to oblige since I enjoy reading up on the Mountain Pass Mine. It brings back memories. I must have driven past the mine a couple of dozen times in my life on my way to my old hiking haunts, Valley of Fire, Kyle Canyon, Red Rock Canyon and more. Even walking the Las Vegas Strip was interesting. I was sorry to hear about the mine when it closed in 2002. It really would make a great story if it can somehow find success again.
Back from the Mobile Renaissance Faire! Lots going on, it would appear...

Not to be mean but I think your looking at it wrong. Naruto x hinata is a possibility and here's why. Reason 1: naruto is the heir of the namakazi and uzumaki clans. And as such he would get the inheritance of both families. Thus making the hyuuga more powerful and appear as being the second Nobelist only to the namakazi clan if they had a member of their clan marry into it. The second reason it could be possible would be that naruto is naruto and if he would recognize hinata a affection for him and if he felt the same way because he is naruto he would get it. Because let's face it narutos just lucky like that

I got mine in March and I have bled every single stinking day since (going on 4 months). Im online trying to figure out if bleeding for this long is normal or just passed off as "side effects"....seems like everyones healthcare provider dismissed the prolonged bleeding as "side effects". But either way the implant works because you don't want to have sex when youre bleeding all day everyday...very effective! lolposted 06/30/2013 by Cindell Aloha
I got my installed in march. Now every time I have sex which is rare because sex is painful, I bleed and start my period again. I was on my period two weeks ago and if lasted abouy ten days and now I am back on it so frustrating!posted 06/08/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
I HAD MINE PUT IN 25,2015 AFTER I HAD MY SON I BLEED FOR 2 MONTHS AND IT FINALLY SLOWED DOWN AND WENT AWAY 2 WEEKS AGO SO I GUESS THE BLEEDING IS NORMALposted 06/03/2015 by sjackson4227
I have had the implant going on a year and I do not recommend it to anyone! I feel like I am not myself anymore. My emotions are out of wack and I am very irritable. My period is 3 to 3 1/2 weeks a month and has been for several months. Though very effective for preventing pregnancy - I cant wait to get it out!posted 05/19/2015 by jdcasteel
Yes ive been bleeding for 2 months aswell..posted 04/06/2015 by lindaahuynh93
In 2012 I had my 1st implanting installed,I bleed for the 1st week and that was it for 4 years straight..I went to get it removed and the new one installed being that it worked for me and I didn't have any problems...after my new implanon was installed in Oct. 2014 after that 2 months of no bleeding but then from Jan-march 2015 it has been non stop heavy bleeding...horrible cramps..and blood clots..the doctor who installed it told me it was normal..but I demanded to come in the office for a checkup..thinking of getting it removed.posted 03/11/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
I had the implant put in in late Aug '14.At first I had no period/bleeding at all but have had irregular bleeding for months now.I have been bleeding for 2 weeks now.I am single now and so sick of this so getting it taken out.I do not recommend this to anyone.posted 02/13/2015 by mysterygirl01
I have had the implanon for 2years now. Didn't bleed for about a month. Then 6 months of continuous bleeding. After I finally quit bleeding I have had a 3 day period every 3 to 4 months. Super heavy and very painful cramps followed by nausea. I believe it is just the hormones. All women are different and bleed differently before and after birth control. But it all seems pretty normal.posted 12/01/2014 by gartmansamantha12
My mother put me on the 5 year implanon back in 2012. It was all good up until I moved in with my fiances aunt. Gained weight and just a few months ago I got my period back. Thinking about going to the pill skip the very last week that make you get your period. The doctor told me I could do that every 3 month's.posted 10/04/2014 by xxrealloverxx
I got the implant on July of 2013 I hate it I have been lightly bleeding for a whole year already I'm changing my birth control plan I don't recommend this to anyoneposted 09/19/2014 by a BabyCenter Member

I live life day by day, no stress! Love my job as an assistant teacher for preschool! im caring , loving , honest , faithful, treat people as i would like to be treated. one more detail, I can cook! real meal not in Microwave :) . Looking for someone in my range of age! someone caring, loving, Honest, Faithful, No secret, no drama. A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author Unknown

Lecture support
There is a range of lecture support options for students who have difficulty taking their own notes during a lecture or accessing the lecture material in its current format, such as lecture recording, loans of recording devices, the Peer Notetaking Service, and Remote Live Capturing.
At your registration consultation with a Disability Services Officer, the best option for you will be determined.
Students in receipt of Lecture Support are reminded of the following:
- lecture support does not replace attendance at lectures
- recordings or notes are provided based on need, and are not to be distributed publicly
More information is available for students interested in becoming a peer notetaker.
Hearing Augmentation in Lecture Theatres
Lecture theatres are outfitted with Hearing Augmentation Systems to support students with hearing impairment. Some venues will be set up with Hearing Induction Loops and some with an Infrared System. Check this list to determine which system supports your venue.
Students who need to use the Infrared System will need to request to loan an Infrared Receiver Pack from Disability Services. Please contact your Disability Officer for more information.

Moving from NMCI to NGEN will take longer than expected
The transition from the Navy Marine Corps Intranet to the new version of the services' enterprise network will take longer than expected, officials said last week.
To fill the gap after the NMCI contract expires Sept. 30, 2010 — and before the Navy issues new contracts under the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) — the service plans to enter into a sole-source contract with EDS to continue providing NMCI services during the transition. Hewlett-Packard owns EDS.
"I think folks underestimated the complexity associated with the transition from NMCI moving forward," said John Gauss, acquisition head at the NGEN System Program Office. "The folks that helped architect the original strategy, I don't believe considered that it would be brought back in-house someday."
The NMCI contract is a commercial services contract in which EDS provides services to meet service-level agreements. EDS owns much of NMCI's physical infrastructure and operating processes. The Navy needs access to that infrastructure to write and award NGEN contracts.
More importantly, the Navy wants more control over its network. For example. commanders at the Naval Network Warfare Command cannot view the global health and status of the networks using NMCI, Gauss said.
Problem resolution is another issue the Navy hopes to improve under NGEN. Navy officials want the ability to prioritize network problems to better support military missions rather than have a contractor maintain a service-level agreement, Gauss said.
"We swung the pendulum way too far by giving them far too much control," Gauss said. "We're not looking to bring it back in-house in its entirety, we're looking to exercise the proper level of control in the networks."
The sole-source contract is designed to keep the network running while the Navy pursues all the goals of NGEN, said Rear Adm. John Goodwin, assistant chief of naval operations for NGEN.
"My responsibilities are to synchronize the efforts of the operations, the policy, the programming, the resources and the acquisition piece," Goodwin said. "We need to make sure that with so many stakeholders in a project of this magnitude that we don't miss something."
EDS officials said the costs associated with the NMCI infrastructure are substantial and the company is working with the Navy to transfer those licenses.
"Moving from NMCI to NGEN will be the largest [information technology] transition and transformation ever contemplated," said Randy Dove, an EDS spokesman."Nothing has ever been attempted on this scale or complexity."

Damask Gourmet Getaway Neoprene Tote 32 32
Stylish and useful I commute to work on the subway in NYC. This is very handy to have. It's also helpful to have when trying to find my lunch bag in the overcrowded refrigerators at work. I've gotten many compliments! April 21, 2014
Great Lunch Tote Bought the black and white damask tote for lunch. Works great. Keeps my food cool and has plenty of space. A very good purchase March 25, 2014
Best lunch bag ever! This is the perfect bag for lunches in larger containers plus enough room for drinks, snacks and room for more. I like the fact that it expands. Highly recommend! January 11, 2014
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! I went in the store for one thing and left with three items...this was one of them. Since I make salads for lunches, I needed something to fit the container, and this fits it so perfectly. I love that it has some stretch, and that it collapses. This is the Perfect lunch tote! September 28, 2013
Best Purchase Ever I love this tote. it is so large and fits everything necessary for my daughter's lunch. Not only that but it is machine washable, which comes in handy when you have a little one who's soup can constantly opens. August 20, 2013
Lunch box for the school year I'm a teacher, and I recently bought this lunch tote to use for the new school year. What I love about this tote is that I can lay a plastic sandwich box flat on the bottom - so I won't open my lunch to a crushed sandwich :) The size of the tote in general is perfect for what I will use it for. I also think it is stylish! July 30, 2013
Smart looking food tote A great smart looking food tote to carry your lunch or snacks! What could be better than form and function and it functions well. April 17, 2013
Makes a pbj lunch more fun I purchased this tote to take my lunch to work. It's made boring homemade lunches a whole lot more interesting. Even peanut butter and jelly sandwiches seem a little better in this bag. It's stretchy so if you have an odd shape leftover container it will flex to hold it but will stretch back into shape after you take out the container. Several women have asked me where I got my bag. Now I've noticed several copies of my bag in the office refrigerator! March 22, 2013
Beautiful & Functional This bag is not just functional, its fashionable. I get people asking me all the time where I bought it. It is big enough to carry my lunch to work every day. Plus drinks and snacks to take to my kid's games after school. I love it and use it daily. March 19, 2013
Love the zipper I really enjoy my tote and I get many compliments. I really like that it is washable. I've had it many years and use it almost everyday. The zipper is my favorite part. March 18, 2013
Best Product A lovely bag to carrier your lunch. Your lunch always with you with this great bag. March 3, 2013
Best lunch bag ever! We have been using the BUILT brand neoprene totes for the last 5 years and love them. They keep the food cool (just put in ice pack), easy to carry and fit into lockers or other small spaces. There are several copy cat brands out there but I have found out the hard way that the "X" brands tend to be smaller and don't insulate as well. The other great thing about these is if they get dirty just drop them into the washer. They clean up beautifully. And of course they are so cute. April 30, 2012
cute patterns! it fits a lot in there and it is easy to wash!!! :) April 27, 2012
Tote These are wonderful I use these all year round. Useful for parties & backyard bbq's. April 16, 2012
Best Lunchbag! This was one of the best purchases I've made in a while. There's a lot of room for food and icepacks. The material is nice and accommodates a variety of containers/foods. I use it daily and don't know what I'd do without it. March 24, 2012
great little lunch bag I love that this lunch bag is so easy to clean. It's also very fashionable, and a good size. However, it is narrower at the top, so very large bulky lunch containers may not fit. March 19, 2012
Stylish and durable lunch bag When my daughter started kindergarten, I stocked up on containers to pack her lunch each day. She loves black and white so I purchased the bag with the floral black and white design. She uses it almost every day. It has a strong zipper, thick insulation and keeps her lunch cool. About two months after purchasing it, the threading started to unravel around the handle. I didn't have the receipt anymore, but The Container Store folks were so nice -- they let me pick out a replacement bag without any fuss. No unraveling on this bag so we are loving it. March 19, 2012
Simply the best This lunch tote is the best I've found. My husband was so jealous of mine that he asked for one of his own! Keeps food cold and protected, and it fits virtually any size/shape container because of the stretchy material. March 15, 2012
EVERY DAY USE! I really needed a lunch box that can fit all different shaped pyrex. But also fit in my work fridge! March 2, 2012
just what i was looking for I have been looking for a lunch bag that my daughter, who has unique challenges, could use and I could wash. This is it. Very durable. March 2, 2012
The perfect lunch bag Not only is this bag just GORGEOUS - its SPACIOUS and keeps things cool and fresh. Great purchase. I got one in black too. February 24, 2011
Love this lunch bag Very roomy for my lunch in a plastic container and a bottle of water plus snacks. Best part is the easy to ues zipper and it's machine washable! February 16, 2011
Ah-Mazing I love this lunch box! It has kept a ll of my food items cold, and cleans out easy. February 2, 2011
Take time to talk about it I was amazed what we talk about at the lunch tables so bought for gifts these with gift cards to the Containment Store so they could go and pick out items to pack their lunches in. It was a blast to find they are ALL hooked! Now conversation is which room in my house do I "Contain" next,,, I try to promote going Green and Saving Time, most women juggle Families and full time jobs. We need Containment if we are to make our Lives worth All the Time running to and fro January 4, 2011
Nice! I bought the brown flowery lunch bag. It's a nice size, just right so that my food doesn't shift around too much. I've gotten compliments on it too! October 5, 2010
So cute! These totes are too cute! I got the black and white one and I take it to work everyday. It is the perfect "adult" lunch tote! May 17, 2010
Great for school lunches and just toting snacks on the go! Very roomy yet collapsible. Most of all, I love that at the end of the week (when it can be pretty smelly) it can be thrown in the washer and air dried! May 13, 2010
I love this product!! it looks like a purse (I bought the plain black one) and is very easy to carry around. I use it every day and people love it! I recommend it to all my friends. And it's pretty spacious. April 23, 2010
Awesome lunch bags! My college daughter and I LOVE these bags! We have some with the old designs, and have used them to carry our lunches for a couple of years. They keep the food cold, and are easy to wash and use again and again.

Pretty to Tote I purchased one of these lunch bags for myself, and I liked it so much that I went back and got one as a gift for a friend. I purchased 2 small Ice packs to go inside. I use mine a lot to keep a bottle of water cold in my car in warmer weather. Works great and looks great. I got the black and white with pink lining. I highly recommend. March 9, 2010
