While we patiently wait for the news forecast by HQ via Copper bull, I have to say how interesting it is to see so many companies that haven't proven anything, some not having done much exploration at all, being pumped and promoted on HC and with positive results ensuing.

It's a great climate for pumping and getting results from it - cobalt, conglomerate gold etc companies are getting the full treatment. Some companies with not many shares on issue or the shares are tightly held are getting manipulated skywards too. Unwarranted upramping abounds. It's a very dangerous situation for the unknowing, but very fruitful for the knowing.

On another more relevant point, copper has multiple uses historically, and now it's going to be in much demand with the new e-vehicles. It seems though that the copper companies are lagging way behind the lithium and cobalt wannabes when it comes to their shares being sought. The time will come though, and probably before the punters realise that li and co companies have reached or over-reached their real value.

The copper story is an academic one though for AUR whilst it hasn't found its copper bounty.
