"We can mark the GM Volt roll out controversy as the start of Nissan Leaf roll out campaign. It will be interesting to see the next chapters in this ongoing web and mass media drama. Sometimes stupid things could be viewed as a genius marketing moves later. GM Volt dance comes to mind in this sense as well.

Nissan Leaf is rumping up its promo campaign now:

I quit Gas! Ask me how - Nissan Leaf 100% Electric."

Cornerstone and Thundermin Continue to Intersect High Grade Copper Mineralization at Little Deer CGP.v, CDNX,

Who needs Copper any more or Nickel or Gold? OK Ecuador could be too gross even for a Gold for a while in our County risk metrics, but "6.0% Cu over a core length of 3.8 m in hole LD-09-20 on the Little Deer Copper Deposit ( the "Deposit") within a wider mineralized interval that grades 2.5% Cu over 12.0 m. In addition, hole LD-09-21 intersected 2.1% Cu over a core length of 6.3 m" reminds us Tenke Fungurume grades in Congo, when you add last year "hole LD-08-15 that graded 2.7% Cu over 46.6 m".
"Cornerstone and Thundermin Continue to Intersect High Grade Copper Mineralization at Little Deer.

On Tuesday May 12, 2009, 8:00 am EDT
MOUNT PEARL, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR--(Marketwire - May 12, 2009) - Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CGP - News; PINK SHEETS:CTNXF - News; FRANKFURT:GWN - News; BERLIN:GWN - News) and 50% joint venture partner Thundermin Resources Inc. ("Thundermin") announce that they have intersected 6.0% Cu over a core length of 3.8 m in hole LD-09-20 on the Little Deer Copper Deposit ( the "Deposit") within a wider mineralized interval that grades 2.5% Cu over 12.0 m. In addition, hole LD-09-21 intersected 2.1% Cu over a core length of 6.3 m (Table 1 and Figure 1 - http://www.cornerstoneresources.com/i/maps/properties_nfld_littledeerlongsec.jpg). To date, the copper mineralization in the Little Deer Deposit has been intersected over a strike length of approximately 1,050 m and to a vertical depth of approximately 800 m. The Deposit remains open to the east, west and at depth.

Table.

The current diamond drilling program is part of a $Cdn 900,000 exploration program consisting of approximately 5,800 m of drilling and borehole Pulse EM surveys that was announced on February 25, 2009 for the first half of 2009. Approximately 3,000 m of drilling in four holes have been completed to date. The current drill program is on-going and is expected to be finished near the end of June. Micon International Limited ("Micon") has been retained to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate for the Deposit based on all drill hole data available as at approximately May 15, 2009. It is anticipated that Micon will complete this resource estimate early in the third quarter of 2009.
The copper-rich sulphide intersection in hole LD-09-20 occurs 678 m below surface and is the deepest intersection drilled to date in this area of the Deposit. This intersection, which consists of disseminated, stringer, semi-massive and massive sulphides containing variable amounts of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite within strongly altered mafic volcanic rocks, occurs approximately 40 m east of and 65 m below the intersection in hole LD-08-15 that graded 2.7% Cu over 46.6 m.
Hole LD-09-21 intersected chalcopyrite mineralization at a vertical depth of approximately 700 m that grades 2.1% Cu over 6.3 m. This intersection occurs 30 m west and 132 m below hole LD-00-12 that graded 3.8% Cu over 10.7 m (Figure 1).
Hole LD-09-19 was collared to intersect the westward projection of the Little Deer copper-bearing zone at a vertical depth of approximately 400 m and approximately 175 m below historical hole LD-66-122 that graded 1.6% Cu over 2.6 m (Figure 1). This hole intersected the copper-bearing zone but returned no significant values.
Hole LD-09-22 is currently drilling and has been collared to intersect the main copper-bearing zone approximately 100 m east of the intersection in hole LD-08-10A that graded 2.2% Cu over 16.8 m, including 3.9% Cu over 5.9 m.
Hole LD-09-18 was collared to intersect a geophysical conductor that was outlined by a VTEM survey flown over a portion of the Little Deer property in July 2008. This conductor, which may coincide with a separate mineralized zone, occurs approximately 200 m southeast of the main Deposit. Hole LD-09-18 intersected the geophysical target at a vertical depth of approximately 390 m and intersected moderately to intensely altered mafic volcanics containing less than 2% disseminated pyrite and local trace chalcopyrite. A borehole Pulse electromagnetic survey will be conducted on this hole in the future to determine if there is any significant sulphide mineralization near the hole that was missed by the drilling.
Thundermin, the operator, and Cornerstone have the option, on a 50/50 basis to earn a 100% interest in the Little Deer copper deposit and adjacent property from Weyburn Investments Ltd. Thundermin, under its joint venture agreement with Cornerstone, has the right to increase its interest in the Little Deer property to 75% by completing a feasibility study and by arranging 100% of the necessary bank financing required to place the property into commercial production. Details on the Little Deer copper deposit and the terms of the agreement with Weyburn can be found in news releases dated May 1, June 21, July 9, October 30, December 11, 2007 and January 24, April 9, May 15, June 6, June 17, July 25, November 26, 2008 and February 25, 2009 and on Cornerstone's and Thundermin's respective websites and on SEDAR.
Mr. Andrew Hussey, P.Geo., Project Geologist and Lands Manager, Cornerstone Resources Inc., is the qualified person that is responsible for supervising the drilling program on the property for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Hussey is also the qualified person that has reviewed and approved the contents of this release. All holes drilled by Thundermin and Cornerstone are NQ in size. Specific gravity measurements, rock quality determinations and photographic logging of significant mineralized intersections are performed systematically prior to assaying. The core is logged and the mineralized sections, where appropriate, are sawn in half at a core logging facility in Springdale. Half of the core is submitted for analyses to Eastern Analytical Limited, an independent and qualified assayer located in Springdale, and the remaining half of the core is kept for future reference. Blanks, duplicates and standards are routinely used as part of the assay procedures.
Thundermin and Cornerstone would like to acknowledge the financial support received from the Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador in carrying out a portion of their work on the Little Deer property.

Lundin Mining LUN.to LMC is at Buy.

Orchestrated rate cuts by Canada, Bank of England and coming rate cut by FED means only one thing: more and more liquidity. Where all these money will end up? Most part will come as payment for goods in China and Oil producing states, they will buy commodities to build infrastructure, silver to produce electronics, gold and silver to protect their wealth from FIAT currencies going down in value with great REINFLATION CYCLE.

Lundin Mining LUN.to LMC Tenke Fungurume Update

I would like to thank my reader about another confirmation on Kabila's visit to FCX facilities.

I think we are on a good track to receive positive news confirming finalisation of agreement between FCX and Gecamines. Report should be finalised in next two weeks.

Please do not be confused with:

"If you will insist my advise will be only to read CS and that if you are on a margin or have put your house in ANY stock in the market SELL immediately. In all other cases obtain all information and then entertain yourself with your own thoughts and decisions."

This is my general position: never trade your house or be on margin for ANY STOCK in the Universe.

"Congo president tours Morenci mine
His Excellency President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Joseph Kabila visited Freeport-McMoRan’s Phelps Dodge Morenci Mine on Tuesday.President Kabila toured the mine and the company’s Process Tech-nology Center near Safford.
Monday, October 29, 2007
-->Kabila and a delegation from the Congo are scheduled to meet with President George W. Bush later this week.Freeport McMoRan is the managing shareholder in the Tenke Fungurume Project, which is building a copper and cobalt mine on a 600-square-mile site in the Congo.Construction on the mine began in 2006 and should be in operation by late 2008. President Kabila requested to visit a copper mine operated by Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. while he was in the U.S."

Lundin Mining LUN.to LMC is "punished" by Congo situation

I was with Tenke Mining for many years: political risk was always there and will be always there. This was the only reason I could buy this one at 0.9 CAD.

Interpretation of this risk is what matters for the stock price. My own personal take is that all these "news" are actually positive for Lundin Mining. Only if someone is investing after Mad man on BubbleTV sad Buy and without any DD this will be out of the blue.

Revision of all mining licenses in DRC are taking place from the very beginning of this year: you can find information on this blog: just search Tenke mining. Even Doug Casey once has put Tenke Mining on SELL because of it...at 5.o CAD. Should I remind you the price of TNK.to last April?

Actually now information from management is confirmed: Tenke Fungurume is not under question of termination. Renegotiation is another story and could certainly happen, but before you will sell in panic give it a thought:

1. Just check the value of the resources in Tenke Fungurume and discount by the market value of it in Lundin mining. Find conditions of the deal on this blog.

2. If conditions will be different - then previous uncertainty will be resolved and actual value, even still with Congo country risk, will be much higher. NPV of the project assumed long term copper prices of 1.0 USD. Value of Tenke Mining for Lundin Mining based on 8 cents for lb of Cu in the DRC ground. Extension of the resource base was never announced after latest drilling: I will guess that news will come out after "renegotiation".

3. "Renegotiation" are already well under way: Kabila - President of DRC, has visited Washington within last two weeks and met with G.W. Bush. Freeport-McMoran FCX is not a small company: they must have their own connection. There is some information (do not Trade on this one) that it is possible that people who looks like Kabila, his Minister of Defence and Minister of Mines have visited FCX properties in part of former Phelps Dodge which was recently acquired by FCX.

4. There are also some very important provisions in the Tenke Mining and former Phelps Dodge agreement on Tenke Fungurume: if capital required for putting Tenke Fungurume into production will exceed 25% PHD and now FCX will be responsible for all overcup.

As usual all this information does not contain any investment advise and only my thoughts on this particular situation.

If you will insist my advise will be only to read CS and that if you are on a margin or have put your house in ANY stock in the market SELL immediately. In all other cases obtain all information and then entertain yourself with your own thoughts and decisions.

Lundin Mining LMC LUN.to CC presentation

Rather busy conference call: few analysts and investment companies engaged, swiss UBS and Julius Baer are following the story. Main message apart from acquisitions Lundin Mining is dynamic organic growth story as well. Tenke Fungurume is on track to production in 2008 and Ozernoe feasibility study is moving forward.

From CC:

"This indicates to us that we're moving towards a new center of mineralization and presents distinct possibilities for additional copper resources," Neil O'Brien, Lundin's vice-president of exploration and business development, said on a conference call.
He said zinc drilling results at the mine were exceeding the company's expectations in terms of thickness of mineralization.
"We can tell you that what we are looking at... is one of the largest known undeveloped zinc resources anywhere," he said.
