Bullish on graphite and phosphate

>>52798482
only /cmmg/ millionaire here

why you guys investing in the work of idiots when you can clearly see what they do wrong?

I'm an expert on getting mining permits and lots of other permits too. Guess who makes dosh?

>>52798768
you got a company with a $25mm MCAP stalled over a $25 permit?

lol you faggots never learn

>>52798803
lets see your safety protocol, your enviro protocol, your operating plan, your reclamation plan, your fire protection plan.

fuck that shit, I write it up for $125 per hour and your fucking investments can't even afford me.
fucking pathetic. I'll write your ERP for a buck fitty. You gotta not want it to miss it

oh no, he's drunk again

>>52798826
You would really ERP for me Bob?

>>52798837
drunk af

but for real, how may investments you guys got stalled on permits? my job is literally writing mining permits and I'm doing just fine off that.

>>52798841
>You would really ERP for me Bob?
lol I pasta my ERP but it'll pass.

for a faggot like you I'd do it half price

I'd honestly be scared if anyone here ever needed an ERP

>>52798858
Alright, here we go.
I'm young and lithe, currently working for a small mine in Oregon. I'm good friends with the boss (he originally recruited me) and he's looking for a successor as he's getting a bit older, and he might be willing to fund me on a minor exploration project.
I'm having some issues getting started, since I look so young, supple and a little androgynous almost nobody in the business takes me seriously, it's really hurting my confidence.

Let's say I get my shit together, dress myself up all fancy and walk into your office, nervous and stuttering, what happens next?

(P.S. I'm an immigrant from Thailand if this matters at all)

>>52798941
kek lassen you walk in and I ask you if you want to mine silver or just mine investors

if you want to mine silver I write you an operating plan, a safety plan, a fire plan, an enviro plan, and a production plan

then we discuss waste permits and envriro liability.

after that we talk MSHA and crit certs

if for some reason you think you have silver and not investors, You hire me for a third million a year to do your Industrial Hygiene and reclamation shit.

Then your lithe ass offers me a bj and I turn it down and ask for your sister. You go into mining and I make more money than you off contracting.

>>52798973
We skip the small talk and straight to action eh? That's okay, I like a no-nonsense kinda guy.
A lot of waste and hygiene permits, you don't do dirty jobs?
And why would you make more money than me if I'm out there busting my ass and you just sit there watching it?
You make it sound like you're just trying to take advantage of me...

Also my sister is not in America so we will have to work out some other form of payment.

>>52798941
you might ask what my third million fee buys you, but it's just knowledge. The best in the US

I'll advise your lawyers, your insurance company, and you. When you dig into the dirt you immediately incur millions of dollars in liability after the third yard. And I personally can direct you from there to cover your stinky ass.

if you decide you hate me and don't want to hire me, it doesn't matter
your insurance company is going to hire me
and if they don't, the feds suing you will.

>>52799056
>you don't do dirty jobs?
I ONLY do dirty jobs

enviro is STRICTLY dirty jobs.

>>52799056
>why would you make more money than me if I'm out there busting my ass and you just sit there watching it?
because you don't have to mine, but you do have to follow the laws. I work in law enforcement for mining. I make way more than miners.

>>52799069
You know exactly how things work huh?
Know exactly what buttons to press.. You command "Sesame!" and EVERYTHING opens up for you? I see.
You make it sound like I don't really have a choice, you'll take me for a ride no matter what I choices I make..

>>52799079
Ahhh that's good to hear.

>>52799088
Maybe I should disappoint the ol' man and give up on succeeding him - join the consulting business and become your personal assistant or something.

>>52799114
>You know exactly how things work huh?
so do you

how many project /cmmg/ got hanging on permits?

my job is to get permits.

full stop. Fin..Theend

I work for both sides. Your side for some reason doesn't want to hire me.
I know the reason.

oil is dead

>>52799123
I'm inexperienced but an obedient student and very eager to learn.

Tell me Bob, what's the reason.
What do you think is holding us back from embracing you and your services?

>>52799143
lol the blue lagoons and bayhorses of your ilk DON'T WANT TO FUCKIN MINE

I can get their permits, and thousands of people like me could. Particularly faggots in gov service. We write permits like that every facking day.

if they don't find us it's because they don't want to.

>>52799155
Maybe they're just tsundere and want you to approach them first..

Alright Bob I gotta get back to work now.
Good ERP talk!

>>52799188
have a good shift buddy,, your own opinion will one day make you fucking rich and fuck your employer

I aggressively approach miners if there's money to make

I have never propositioned GO because I don't think he's serious about mining.

>>52799188
I mean I've demonstrably worked for ASARCO, Newmont, Ashanti, Grupo, Free[pprt. Jacobs, Ames, and a few dozen pennies.

I approach your miners every fucking day. They all know me. Not a one has not heard of me.

Holy hell why are the stocks so disconnected from oil prices? I was looking to buy into a nice dip but the stocks are still so close to their ATH reeeeeeee. I guess it will take some time for the big players to sell out or something

>>52799318
oil prices artificially capped
oil prices <10% of costs
US oil production at record highs

DUnno , this is voodoo to me

>>52799336
OPEC understands a loss leader

nobody here fucking does

you're gonna LOSE money to MAKE money?
lol

>>52799404
market share is more important than profits?

bezsos christ

>>52799411
not a real capitalist itt never was.

it costs money to make money want to make billions you need to spend millions

stupid motherfuckers can't get that.

>>52798482

>>52799425
good plan as long as consumers toss their batts in the landfill

which means as soon as your stock moons the pubic will kill it

>>52799318
>I guess it will take some time for the big players to sell out or something
why would a rich person ever sell you something of value?

are you fuckin retarded?

of there's a penny to be made they're not going to sell to you. If they sell to you it's because there's not a penny to be made

best of luck poor person

>>52799509
Fakeout bro.
I actually made nice money on oil this year and managed to sell pretty damn close to ATH and now waiting since it just keeps dipping and will keep dipping. Or maybe not. Oil is after all the most manipulated commodity in the world
Oil might be of value but there is so much oil in this world that it should be sold at 5 bucks at most.

>>52799534
awesome, you did a one time deal that might make you some money after taxes

that's not how rich people work.

I mean how do wealthy people consistently make money trade after trade, year after year? It's not fucking luck and it's not manipulation.

it's just arbitrage

why the fuck are there three cmmg threads all of a sudden? is the bull run upon us?

oh yeah nukes are going to go a lot higher despite hiting their artificial peak earlier this year and being almost limitless in the western US.

you should see what we're going to do to vanadium and rare earths. Fucking half our country is made of that shit.

>>52799627
>Fucking half our country is made of that shit.
we literally pay billions a year to remove uranium from the basements of our houses which are worth unironic trillions.

>>52799562
like I pay thousands a year to GET RID OF uranium

as do millions of people just like me

>>52799650
that's pretty cool. keep doing it.

>>52799657
lol I could probably make a full nuke out of the uranium I pump out of my basement every year.

you faggots are buying uranium while most of the US is paying to get rid of it.

>>52799670
the secret is I charge you to get rid of uranium and then I sell it to some other sucker for 10x what I charged you to get rid of it

This is where a risk becomes a guarantee.

stop losses covered calls short my long diversify make money no matter what happens leverage my assignation underwrite and drift

nobody here is smart enough to do it.

>>52799557
Yeah you're right. That is why my parents are rich while I'm poor. I'm bloody stuck in that mindset and I cannot get rid of it.

>>52799726
>I'm bloody stuck in that mindset and I cannot get rid of it.
what's the hangup?

for most people it's an idea of fair play and being "good."

rich people are amoral.

>>52799726
your parents have no morals, and they're waiting for you to drop yours.

>>52799726
I mean what makes you decide you deserve ten times more money than the next guy? or a hundred times or a million times?

it's not a moral decision. If your parents are rich they are NOT moral. Getting rich is by nature NOT moral

>>52799790
capitalism is NOT moral

it's reality.

and that's all that matters. Morality is bullshit.

I'm not stealing, I'm making a living.

and then I borrow against my paycheck AND THEIRS. making me even richer.

the game is rigged, you guys should get in on it.

other than that no worries, you're gonna get rich.

There is no uranium stock or etf or commodity in my cunt, so it'll be difficult to invest in uranium from my cunt, so I'll have to find out how to do that too.

They were at 9c yesterday so I figured it might be worth just getting a position now since they're super cheap even though they don't have huckleberry yet

>>52800152
What archives i thought the /biz/ archives got mossaded

>>52800690

It's definitely going to be starting an upwards trend from now.
Though I really hope it stays down for a little while longer for whatever reason so I can get a bit more in the $2 region. If it consolidated there before the next real leg up it would be great.
My average on this is kinda shit at $2.9 and this is the last chance to bring it down.

>>52801280

URA is undervalued by 5x at least and is putting in a consolidation wedge that is about to break.

Making some consolidations here.

Sold out of the weakets looking uranium charts and created a 20k GDX posistion to ride in the meantime before I go back in.

Sold out of irving and UAN and put it into Goliath and SALT. The two latter have incoming catalysts within the next month whereas irving doesnt have anything going for it for a couple months and we are entering winter so UAN will likely have less sales along with the fact they posted a 20 mil loss last quarter. (They had to do some upgrades and maintenance on their plants)

I'll ride these out for a month or two and hopefully make some gains which will be rotated back into the uranium posistions I closed along with building an oil posistion. Gary says the SPX is making another downturn and uranium tends to trade with the SPX (for now) so i think this was a good move.

i am around! i was working! how are things?

Surge Copper is still a fantastic exploration project, the Sibola range is territory i know very well, and i ve walked on the Berg and a few of their other major properties in recent years. I had ground next door to them too for a bit but access was horrible so i dropped it.

What do you specifically want to know about Surge? There a ways from being an operator, and that heavily hinges on if Imperial Metals gives up at Huckleberry Mine.

>>52802314
any more word on their deal with Osisko Development? There have been a number of articles out though sites like Seeking Alpha on them that paint them in pretty poor light, honestly worse than i would paint them.

>>52806892

Here is one of them. Its pretty solid from just a basic look over especially with what i saw on the ground.

thanks, oh they are taking shots at Osisko rather than Nicola. I kind of like Nicola, I've never really looked into Osisko

>>52806326
>On furchinz
>Not gay

>>52807104
Nicola and Osisko recently setup a deal to use Nicola's mill to process 15,000 tonnes of material sitting at the Quesnel River Mill belonging to Osisko, there was probably another large sum of ore sitting at Bonanza Ledge that they would ship as well. Its a complicated bit of information but Osisko has to get that ore processed soon or face fines as material dug up cant be stored longer than a few months.

The point is that just because something is beyond one's understanding or reach doesn't make it wrong.
It's like a fatty saying that exercise doesn't help to get fit because they can't/won't do it themselves.

>>52811139
i dont know why Imperial thinks Huckleberry can make them profitable again. It was nearly depleted when they mothballed it 5 years ago, and new drilling showed that while there was more ore nearby that could be accessed, it would need serious work to get to it. Add on their poor reputation in the labor market now and it makes things even worse.

>>52813879
So after hearing you talk about it for two years it looks like ascot has some big ass grades and I'm finally starting to pay strention.

>>52813879
Surge is at 9c. I was wondering if it was worth having a position even though they don't have huckleberry yet.

>>52814111
Surge has a lot of plans for drilling over the next two years so they still have a lot of potential to expand their already massive resources. Huckleberry is the lynch pin though for early / cheap success for Surge, if they get that mill site, it means they dont have to find the funding to build one on their own.
>>52813900
I cant wait to see that terrain this summer around Ascot, its stunning. Its been a long wait but they will finally be actually mining soon.

Gary update. We're in the easy phase. Buy and sit.

>>52814761
Based. Cry and shit, got it.

I live in a trailer park and have brain damage. You should listen to my investing advice.

>>52814553
Can you give me the basic rundown for somebody who heard you talk about it for two years and never paid attention? I'm sorry to ask and don't deserve it, but would you mind giving a quick recap?

>>52815406
Sure i can break them down. Ascot resources is based in BC's Golden Triangle, situated north of the Community of Stewart BC on the west coast. The company holds several large land packages and holds the past producing Sil Back Premier and Big Missouri gold mines as well as the IDM Red Mountain Gold mine. The Premier Mine has a fully operational mill mothballed since the 90s that has undergone a major modernization program, the company has also done a massive amount of surface and now underground diamond drilling across their two primary properties to prove them viable for a modern mining project. The Premier mine and the satellite properties around it is one of the greatest gold mines in BCs history, operating on and off for around a century. The mines modern existing infrastructure, road access via the Granduc Mine Rd and access to the deep water Port of Stewart make it exceptionally positioned for mining. They did have a number of setbacks over the last few years but they are well on track to being operational within the next year or so.

Ascot also could have the ability to toll mill from a number of other nearby gold / silver properties and projects, including the Scottie Gold project 15 minutes up the Granduc road.

All in all a fantastic project, and one that i have a deep connection too, i ve wandered over much of Ascots property in the past. I ve never seen such productive ground, only beaten out by the Valley of the Kings north of it.

there have been several different articles on the Can govs plans for critical minerals, but nothing actually concrete is planned yet right?

>>52820718
>Is geotechnical/civil engineer degree with a minor in finance a good way for that?
dunno, I got into it out of necessity. I had to write my own compliance shit and study regs to run my own company.

from there it's a very short walk to doing compliance paperwork for other companies. Big companies have entire teams of compliance guys doing this crap, but the small guy has to DIY or hire it out.

In my area of work, an enviro degree or maybe hydrology might be the best course, but honestly the degree doesn't matter nearly as much as the ability to memorize and look up laws and regulations.

>>52821618
Yeah sorry buddy, I had a retard moment and forgot how to read. Long weekend

>>52820718
other degrees that commonly wind up in mining compliance that you might or might not expect:

attorney
industrial hygienist
botanist
microbiologist
chemist
process engineer
geo
technical writer
draftsman
CPA

I don't imagine there's a lot of compliance work outside the US and other western countries though. And because of the relative lack of regulation, most mining happens in places where a compliance contractor simply isn't needed. It's cheaper to pay the locals not to sue you than to do business in a safe and clean manner.

>>52820718
As to how specifically to get into mining contracting, I started off in mining for a major company and then bought out one of their local contractors.

the actual mechanics of learning contracting, let alone industrial contracting, pretty much requires some time learning on the job from someone that's already doing it. You're probably not going to just start a consulting firm with no experience or connections and do well. The barriers to entry are very high in the US at least. Doesn't cost much, but you need to know what you're doing and how to do it.

>>52798491
Are those used in kneepad manufacturing?

>>52820718
If you're just looking to get hired by a mining contractor or consultant, there are lots of career paths that we need.

but for me the most important are guys that can pass a drug test every month, equipment operators, people with industrial experience, and people that live in my area. A CDL is a huge bonus and if you speak spanish that can be useful. Don't have any felonies, and pay your damn taxes. Also please don't have a history of accidentally running people over or blowing up buildings on the jobsite. I get bonuses for hiring veterans, women, and some ethnic minorities.

That rules out 85% of people right off the bat, regardless of their degree.

>>52822050
>That rules out 85% of people right off the bat, regardless of their degree.
the drug test alone means nobody wants to work in mining.

How does a twink from Europe with no background in mining get into mining

>>52822137
Be a POC woman who never uses drugs. Be a good goyim. Simple.

>>52822137
apply for a jerb

Not sure how the laws are in europe but in the US it's just a matter of having the right skills and experience at the right time. We like guys with mining experience best, but someone from construction or with a science background can get in easy enough. Even just regular laborers if we're not getting better applicants. That's just a matter of timing which comes down to persistence. You apply every few months and eventually you'll get a job.

>>52822147
people like that have their choice of jobs in government and industry. Not using drugs and paying your taxes opens of this huge world of high paying professions. But most of the people that do that are boomers, and usually veterans, and already employed somewhere else.

>>52798482
Pebble mine project.

>>52822217
what would a fresh engineer graduate do in mining? Is there any comfy but interesting office work or only on site project managing?

I am more interested on the consulting side and would eventually want to become a general expert in the field and run a small consultancy helping others in their projects.
Don't know if I should change my civil major to just finance or something tho as I don't really find the site work interesting enough, more of a numbers guy

>>52819048
Huh? I post semi-regularly, just not in every thread because I have a busy schedule. This news I thought important enough to post. I posted the archive link so you niggers could get past the paywall. Fuck you.

>>52819766
What was new in the globe and mail article was that its focus was on eliminating government red tape in permitting for mine development and connected infrastructure, including roads.

>>52823345
2. Here most engineering grads or grads in any profession really were encouraged to complete an MBA because you're going to want to start your own business or run somebody else's. This includes any mining professional.

1. Here I would encourage a young engi interested in production and logistics to enroll with Jacobs or Ames or some major mining contractor that has their own campus and thousands of people doing comfy office work for largish sums of money.

>>52823345
regarding changing your major, civil eng is useful in mining by itself, while finance isn't particularly useful without some skills to sell aside from finance. I imagine a finance major is too unfocused to get into mining in most cases, but honestly I have no real personal experience with either field. I'm not an engineer or a financial expert. But if I need help on a project it's far more likely to be an engineer I need than a money analyst.

>>52823345
>what would a fresh engineer graduate do in mining?
anything from construction planning to electrical to process planning. Planning waste processing, dirt movement and storage, hazwaste handling, planning mine expansion, all sorts of details I find mostly very boring.

most of this work is done in the office on a computer with lots of other engineers and geologists and such. Actually overseeing projects on the ground can be part of the job but I think you need to want it since it's probably a promotion.

>>52823954
the trudeau gov didnt really say they were going to deal with "red tape" but accelerate permitting to specific projects the government deems critical. So instead of taking 11 years to permit, your looking at 5 years instead.

>>52823345
None of this strictly requires a degree though. E.g. I can hire an engineering firm to design a project for a client which my firm then executes. This doesn't happen often because it's cheaper for them to do their own design work in-house. But it's possible and of course I don't know anything about engineering. But I know a guy.

>>52824180
>But I know a guy.
and this goes full circle back to what I studied as a kid. I wouldn't have any contracts in mining if I didn't work in mining in the first place, and that was because my degree got me in.

so the degree for me did very little aside from get my foot in the door in mining. After that, I haven't really needed it since I can hire people with the same degree I have if I need to. But I wouldn't have met them without me getting the degree.

>>52823954
That's why I was suspicious. Sorry desu

And so on. Someone convince me that this isn’t what’s going to happen for like the next decade

>>52823345
so really long story really short,

you don't need any degree to start an contracting or consulting firm for mining. You just need knowledge and contacts which you get on the job. But you're not likely to get that experience or meet those people without first getting the degree. Basically you need to waste 4-6 years of your life in school and then another several years on the job just to learn how to START contracting in mining. Or be my kid. If you're my kid I'll get you in smooth enough without any schooling because you inherit my contact list and I can teach you operations in a year or two.

or do what I did and buy an existing contractor out and get them to train you.

>>52824157
Yeah wouldn't we all like a little less red tape. Guys like bob love regulation because the more convoluted it is the more they can charge. People like that should be sucking dicks under bridges for cigarette money. They hate productive people more than anything on earth.
Without the govt red tape, they would have to do actual work, like with their fucking hands. They want you starving and freezing to death. They hate you with every inch of their body.khl8hd

>>52823345
>>52825149
the other route is to start with contracting and then move into mining. E.g. start a civil eng firm and then as your business grows get the people and certifications you need to move into heavy industry and mining. That is NOT cheap, but it works just fine.

most mining contractors are just regular contractors that have the certs and experience and crew necessary to work in mining when they're not doing regular work.

though mining pays so well that a regular contractor that moves into mining will usually stop doing regular work outside of mining. The grass really is greener. As Lassen and others here point out, we raise regulatory barriers that keep most people out of industry and jack up prices and profits for the few that can follow the enormous pile of government regulations.

>>52825196
>Without the govt red tape, they would have to do actual work, like with their fucking hands
nobody ever got rich off just their own work

except criminals such as yourself, and that carries a lot of risk. Of the two of us, you're far more likely to wind up sucking dicks for smokes.

>>52825196
>Guys like bob love regulation because the more convoluted it is the more they can charge
this is a true fact

>They hate you with every inch of their body.

>Growing and selling a plant is a crime

>>52825362
You already know I used to grow and sell back when it was actually illegal, so I agree with you on that from day one

what's weird to me is you don't mind harming people with some weed or booze or whatever but then you suddenly grow a conscience when it comes to making money legally.

I'm no more a moralist than you are. Only real difference is I don't pretend to be.

>>52825421
>Harming people
Yup. I force them to smoke weed. At gunpoint.
Unlike regulators, who simply shrug if you don't have the paperwork. The govt would never use violence. Only us weed dealers use violence and if you don't smoke my weed I'll fucking Waco your ass

Dumb niggers are dumb

>>52825525
c'mon. I voted to legalize, but I know that shit will make a person lazy and stupid. A few people will go crazy with it.

my biggest moral dilemma going into business wasn't making money of government regulation. The US runs on money made from regulation.

I actually had a problem with pocketing $100 for every $12 I paid someone to do the real work. But I pointed this unfairness out to everyone that worked for me and found that not one of them wanted my job. They would love to have that money, but not for the work and risk I take on.

>>52825563
>Make people lazy and stupid
The govt has perfected this. I sure you're as qualified as hunter biden

>>52825525
>>52825563
understand I bought a business worth $75k and within 2 years turned it into something worth millions. I've been looking for someone to buy it off me ever since. Nobody wants it because they don't think my job is worth the pay, even when the pay is millions. Or they don't think they can do the job, and they're probably right about that. If they could do my job they'd already be doing it.

I provide a service nobody else wants to provide and 99.9% of people can't do even if they knew how.

>>52825725
>The govt has perfected this.
yep, gov employees are often quite lazy and overpaid. That's the entire reason me and my crew get hired. We're much cheaper and we do far more work.

>I sure you're as qualified as hunter biden
I don't really follow politics much. Not that hunter biden or jared kushner are elected officials, so they matter even less to me than whoever is president.

I've been in business 20+ years, if you think I can't make money under democrats or republicans you are deluded.

>>52825768
Maybe the govt should not exist and people like you should starve to death

>>52825862
>Maybe the govt should not exist and people like you should starve to death

whether 'THE GOVT" exists or not I don't really care. Humanity has much larger problems waiting behind that curtain. You concentrate on the enemy you can see while you're not quick enough to imagine the one you can't see.

if you get rid of the gov, a new one will invariably rise up in its place, and a worse one.

>Just admit you're a commie and let's be done with it Bob
you think 70% of the US is commies because they work for the gov

you sell weed to commies so you take commie money and are a commie

if the feds didn't regulate weed, you'd make no more money than a truck driver hauling corn
so you're a commie making money off gov regulation

in fact you're just a tired and stupid child that thinks you're fighting for freedom when in reality if the gov went away right now you'd be hung from a tree or sucking dicks for smokes.

it's pretty tiresome. But nothing much better to do than listen to you bitch like the little fucking bitch you are.

>>52826679
am I wrong? if interstate transport of weed became legal today would you go bankrupt?

you make your money off gov regulation. Only difference is you're slightly more likely than me to go to prison for it. And even that's a bit questionable.

>>52826741
Weed is less than 30% of my income. So no. I would simply find something else to do with that time. If the govt ceased to exist would you go bankrupt? Without compulsory regulations would you have all those red tape jobs you brag about that made you millions?

>The Red Cloud Mine is one of the most renowned collecting localities of Arizona's State mineral wulfenite. First mined by the "single jack" method (miner using a hammer driving chisel pointed steel into rock) in the late 1870s, the ore was sorted and high-graded underground, carried to the surface on the back of the miners and by rawhide buckets, and transported by burros to the Colorado River for shipment by boat for refinement to Wales.

You kids wanna hear a Christmas story?
Gather round and I'll tell you the tale of the Christmas mine in Christmas Arizona.

From the article
>Christmas was founded in 1902 by a claim jumper named George B. Chittenden. Claims on the mine had been made in the 1880s by Dennis O’Brien, Bill Tweed and Dr. James Douglas but were later rejected because the land actually belonged to the San Carlos Apache Tribe.

The land was taken away from the tribe by an act of Congress in 1902. Chittenden received word of the decision on Christmas Eve. He and partner N.H. Meller headed out to the mine and staked their claim on Christmas Day.

"I guess we jumped the claims of O’Brien, Tweed and Dr. Douglas, all right," Meller said years later. "But it was Christmas Day in the morning, so we filled our stocking and named the place Christmas in honor of the day."

Christmas was in many ways a typical company town that lived and died by the boom-and-bust nature of the mining industry. Miners lived in tents or the shacks the company built for them. Some had left their families in surrounding towns and moved from mine to mine. Over the years, the Christmas mine would change owners several times.

It was a rough living, and kind of meager," says Jim Turner of the Arizona Historical Society.

Cox’s father, Richard Eddy, spent only one day working in the Christmas mine. Eddy, who came to the United States at the age of 16, was one of the Cornish miners.

"My dad said, ‘You could feel the ground move under your feet,’ " says Cox. "He didn’t live to be that old by being stupid."

By 1920 the population had reached 1,000. The town boasted a post office, a school, a barbershop, a church, a hat shop and a rail spur that led up to the mine.

The post office, which opened in 1905, is probably what really put Christmas on the map. During the holidays, people from all over the country sent their mail to the mining town’s post office so they could get the coveted "Christmas, Ariz.," postmark on their cards and letters.

Over the years, people in Christmas celebrated Christmas no differently from those anywhere else in the country. In the early days, gifts were handmade. By the 1950s they were purchased at the 5 & 10 in Winkelman, says Cox.

"We spent Christmas at Christmas, and that was about it," says Jack Eastlick, a geologist who worked and lived in Christmas from 1954 to 1966.

During the Great Depression the mines closed, and the workers in the post office stamped their last postmark in 1935. Residents lingered in Christmas and lived through several tumultuous years of reopenings and closings, but the town was finally abandoned in 1983.

the mine is currently owned by freeport and closed to the public

>>52827891
Wouldn't mind having one of those post office stamps doe...

>>52827908
I have one because one of my great grandpas was a miiner in AZ back in the day. I'll see if I can find it and get a pic.

Idk if this was posted already and I missed it

>Under the banner of Vale Base Metals, the nickel and copper operations will have independent governance and have a board constituted of experts and leaders in deep underground mining and in the electric vehicle industry.

>Reports said there's a possibility Canada could be the company's new global headquarters to manage its nickel and copper operations.

>With critical minerals like nickel, copper and lithium coming rapidly into vogue by car makers, Vale wants to stake out a North American position in the global march toward vehicle electrification by doing agreements directly with the car companies.

You can't make this shit up. I thought it was a parody site.

>>52827989
>You have the stamp like the mechanical thing you put the ink on and stamp a letter?
nah I wish

I have a letter or two with the ghost town stamp cancellation on them. I have a pile of old mining town postmarks from the 1800's- present from ghost towns my family lived in and mines they worked.

they're worth a small fortune but I won't sell them. I'm not seeing my AZ stuff right away though.

>>52828158
That's so cool man. I was kicking in a little book store in old sac cuz I'm a bibliophile and I found the diary of one of the surviving members of the donner party. Didn't buy it cuz retarded.
Lots of history is being lost due to the market prices plummeting in recent years. You don't have to be addicted to antiques road show to notice this but cocaine helps

>>52828226
>I found the diary of one of the surviving members of the donner party.
would've loved to read that

my wife's family helped rescue the donner party. They were early mormon settlers at Sutter's Mill. Fascinating times.

I got my family's mining crap by accident. I just managed to outlive everyone else that stood to inherit. Not sure what to do with it since my kids don't care about it yet.

>>52828258
This is why these things having collectors value is important. Even if your kids don't appreciate it, it's value gives them incentive to cherish them
That diary was $1500. I know I could have gotten him down for cash on barrelhead.

>>52828326
woulda been worth it in my book. Do you recall which survivor?

My family has a long history of mining in colorado, arizona, and mexico. But probably the most interesting thing I found in my great grandpa's junk was a handful of old spanish treasure maps to some gold or silver mine in central or south america. He died in Mexico hunting lost spanish mines. The collection fills an entire closet though, and I haven't seen his 'treasure maps' since I first looked through the boxes ages ago.

I thought it might be fun to post them here and see what people can find, but I'll have to dig them out first. He was a successful miner in the 1800's but I don't know if his south american stuff was bullshit or not.

>>52828447
I would've just liked to read it and see the words written by their own hand

>>52828529
same. Those guys went through some shit.

I've been hungry before but I can't imagine eating my friends and family.

>>52828549
I would called it back in Utah or wherever
Plan the dive. Dive the plan. I err on the side of caution.

>>52828593
yeah they hit trouble the instant they started the hasting's cutoff in the wasatch and it just got worse in the salt lake desert.

crazy how a couple weeks delay was enough to kill half of them off.

>>52799114
That anon can really sell a fucking pen. Disbelief is suspended for me, fren. His language is lucid.

but then there's the money, and you have to wonder how a crazy got all that.

It's now official.

>>52828829
gotta admit leafs are excellent miners. Probably the best in the world. But protectionism is the same as the US and every other country is already doing. The idea of strategic minerals is ancient. Quite a bit older than canada.

>>52828757
Subsidies

>>52828757
>clearly insane
If my hourly rate was as high as yours, I'm sure I'd post in a similar fashion. How bad is the talent drought in mining for support ops?

>>52828930
yes. not subsidies like you think of them, but tax breaks and hiring bonuses. Same as any rich person gets.

but there's millions of crazy fuckers like you and me. Not all of them are rich. So what's the deciding factor? Subsidies? Anyone can get those. You can get them. You probably do.

>>52828946
>How bad is the talent drought in mining for support ops?
it's not talent, just knowledge.

there is no drought in most places.

Mining companies like to hire small local contractors for PR reasons. There are large firms that could do most of what I do, and they're cheaper. But it looks good to hire some small local bozo instead.

I happen to be a small local bozo in the heart of mining country.

>>52828963
Carbon credits, tax credits and cost plus contracts, space x and Tesla straight up get fat checks from the govt that's basically theft front he rest of us to keep grifting robber barrons like you in business

>>52829002
cost plus bankrupts people like me every day.

15% profits and 50% taxes? Keep your 'handout'

if you made as much as me you'd get the same tax credits I do. And I think you know it.

>>52828979
>it's not talent, just knowledge.
>there is no drought in most places.
If you put it that way, the service industry has a relatively sever "knowledge" drought. A lot of firms haven't figured out how to create succession plans and millenials and zoomers either...
>A. Didn't learn enough in school to pick up on the Job

hate the game, not the players. Fix it if you hate it so much.

>>52829033
the part Lassen and most people don't get is it's not about making money. I lose money after taxes every year.

it's about getting market share and then borrowing against it. It's a debt game.

this is directly opposite of the goals and ideals of /cmmg/, /pmg/, and 4chan in general. But it's how money works.

When plunder becomes a way of life, men create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

Frederic Bastiat

>>52829082
the question is only if the plundered benefit from it

if you understood money you'd realize the dollar only has value because the government 'steals' it from you

>>52829082
I used to work for a staunch libertarian that thought much like you do. When he retired he moved to ecuador where both taxes and debt are slightly funny fictions.

he found he didn't like having to grind his own corn for dinner every day and walk the donkey to town to buy lye for soap, all the while afraid the drug cartels might decide to kill him that day.

sure, he's free of ebil government. But he's living like a savage. Which is cool if that's your thing, but most murricans can't stomach it.

Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all . . . . It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain
Frederic Bastiat

>>52829386
all the grain you eat is raised on government subsidies, are you a socialist?

all the silver in your stack and all the copper in your still was made on the government dole.

If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?
Frederic Bastiat

>>52829386
or perhaps you're not a socialist because you complain about it every time the government gives you something?

Like I'll drive on the government roads with a subsidized vehicle burning government gas, but I'm righteous because I complain about it?

>>52829418
ah yes, socialism isn't FREEDOM

unless free men decide to be socialists, then it might be.

The real cost of the State is the prosperity we do not see, the jobs that don’t exist, the technologies to which we do not have access, the businesses that do not come into existence, and the bright future that is stolen from us. The State has looted us just as surely as a robber who enters our home at night and steals all that we love.
Frederic Bastiat

>>52829437
hard to measure how much better we COULD BE DOING when we're the best in the world.

in that case you're just the fool asking to change a winning strategy because you personally don't feel you benefit.

Here I encounter the most popular fallacy of our times. It is not considered sufficient that the law should guarantee to every citizen the free and inoffensive use of his faculties for physical, intellectual and moral self-improvement. Instead, it is demanded that the law should directly extend welfare, education, and morality throughout the nation. This is the seductive lure of socialism. And I repeat: these two uses of the law are in direct contradiction to each other.
Frederic Bastiat

We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.
Frederic Bastiat

>>52829458
your 'improved' condition causes you to abandon your fellow man

nobody wants your sort of 'morality.' Go find a lonely place to die where you won't have to help anyone.

When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law.
Frederic Bastiat

>>52829473
education invariably dies without the state
as does religion
and grain.

which of these do we currently subsidize
which is dying?

there will be no religion here in a century, simply because the state doesn't sponsor it. And like grain and education, it cannot survive in a free market.

The most urgent necessity is, not that the State should teach, but that it should allow education. All monopolies are detestable, but the worst of all is the monopoly of education.
Frederic Bastiat

>>52829480
anyone that believes in absolute morality is a moron
Big Bob

>>52829494
because education was doing so well before the state stepped in?

libertarians fail at history

can you two cancerous fags please end your discussion before the new bake

Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter, by peaceful or revolutionary means, into the making of laws. According to their degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.
