All hope was lost today for those who thought they will be able to make really good money with the sale of African Barrick Gold plc (LSE:ABG) – well, at least for those who bought the shares after Tanzania’s largest gold producer announced talks for a potential offer to sell the company off five months […]

Mining firm Anglo American names replacement for former chief executive Cynthia Carroll. The multinational mining giant and the world’s largest supplier of platinum Anglo American has named Mark Cutifani as their new Chief Executive. Once a trainee-miner Mr Cutifani, 54, resigned from his position as chief executive of the South African firm AngloGold to take […]

For once it was being interviewed. The podcast is pretty wide ranging covering gold, Governmental profligacy, Greece, cats, West Ham, gold stocks and especially the mining juniors. It lasts about 20 minutes and you can listen HERE Dominic is one of the keynote speakers at the UKInvestor Show on April 13 where he will be […]

I flagged up on the third of January an explicit allegation that fully listed gold miner Centamin (LSE:CEY) was not in fact selling any gold.

I promised something for everyone in my 2013 seven tips of the year. The penny stock is still to come. You have been served up a great income play and a profitable growth play plus one mining stock. There were four mining stocks vying for three places in my (hopefully) magnificent seven. This one made […]

Platinum miner Lonmin (LSE:LMI) had asked Kris Kringle for only two things for Christmas: platinum in its stocking and peace on earth, especially at its Marikana mining site in South Africa.  Given the rough year that Lonmin had in 2012, it didn’t seem too much to ask. With the economy being as it is, Santa […]

I have written before about AIM Listed Ireland based Great Western Mining (LSE:GWMO) noting that it shares far too many connections with mega joke valuation company US Oil & Gas (USOP). I note that today shares in Great Western are off by 16% at 2p valuing the company at £1.3 million. It doubt very much […]
