china, you only post when is starts dropping. we know you have a grudge against this share now. It is dropping because the 250 block seller is still around. He/she just decided to sell less to get better prices. Is not going to move away from this range unless the block seller gets crazy or good news hit the market

are using every trick in the book to move the price down!! they are short.

at the moment we are still in the hands of short term traders. I think NvS is positive on both casa and the new find. if both news hit at the same moment there will be no time to buy bellow 10p. It will be, god willing, the sharpest spike in land.

by the way NvS is pretty sure his main target is to deliver share holders value and not to issue hot RNS that only benefit traders. I like the way he is keeping the lid on things here. shareholders will see the profit they are after for sure.

we know kalaba deposit layer stretches more than 4 km in one direction with average thickness of 60 meter, we don't have any idea about the other directions. That is why it needs more drilling.
How about casa? is a single drill still operating there to define the extra resources?

10 months ago NvS said casa it now able to produce 150000 to 250000 once a year that is 180m to 300m revenue.
he said as well that the market price for baying gold is £50 to £10 once, that is 150m to 30m at heavy discount.
he also said that if the sales is not... we may as well ...for ourselves. He kept kalaba in the dark corner .
He invested heavily at 3p so he is not thinking of dilution neither the new director who invested 3m to 2m at 3p.
so what is the plan? is there a buyer who is willing to buy the log and we don't know. any logical reasoning may help.

Everything crosses, that is the word for it. I could hardly move, now results are building up. all what it takes is a three drills returning positive results and the price will jump to another level. casa sales and kalaba jorc will be the ice on the cake. the production from the plant well....I will not speculate any more unless I irritate china again he said he is going to buy on February 2020. good luck china.

there is nothing to worry about, in this field, in DRC they are not in this line of politics.

simbabwe proposed to “implement the use it or lose it policy on mining claims (for) large mines sitting on unused mining claims.” by offering unused mines to individuals.

At last, the deposits in Zamsort area are VMS type as NvS eluded to. check the comparison between VMS and SedEx in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlrHklF6T3Y

both VMS and SedEx are created in the ocean floor but VMS is mostly copper, SedEx is for heavier metals.

any thing coming from that pilot plant is welcome, the main thing now is to be in the market and gain experience in all aspects of production. The expansion will come sometime in the future. if we can produce economically at this scale, sure we can produce more. I will keep this video as a souvenir to account for future fortune from copper.

from Wikipedia
Hydrothermal mineral deposits are divided into six main subcategories: porphyry, skarn, volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS), sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX), and epithermal and Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposits.
They all have the same source, underground magma chambers, sedimentary are much older of course.

NvS mentioned VMS though. clearly kalaba is a layer of rocks-rich minerals dipping gently underground. a layer of ~60m average rock-rich minerals.
if the other anomalies have the same structure, 'layer of 3 km deep' that is beyond comprehension, unless it is few hendreds deep but dipping very very slowly

kalaba unexposed deposit is a sulfate and it is =< 1% cu. kalaba exposed deposit is oxide and it is <= 2% may be caused by exposure and weathering. this is considered as a rich deposit compared with the 0.4 low at this type of mines. because they are huge and have low overburden, economic exploration is possible.

chinablue, when NvS said it is size that matters, he really meant that. unfortunately not all investors are geologists.
they were comparing the grades with other mines world wide. there are at least four types of mines when it comes to grades. those with high grades are usually deep underground mines. the ones we got in our area including kalambela are the so called; Porphyry copper deposits, they never exceeded 1% , they are usually between 0.4 and 1% and they are usually huge mines. check this link for more details.

Porphyry copper deposits

delivery of kalaba jorc and production plan if coupled with casa sale will see this sp fly beyond grasp. that makes arcm able to not only carry all developments in new targets but it could as well upgrade the plant to generate serious cash.

copper under ground is like a hidden tree the more you see leafs the bigger the branch that carries it.
the main branch is the source of all minerals in this area including kalambela.
you may argue that the grade here and there is different but there will be copper. this type of mines usually they have grades between 0.4 and 1%. but they are huge deposits.
if kalaba small magnetic spot generated that much of copper imagine what will be cheyeza or lambita they are more that 10 times that size. so you can guess they have more branches to carry all that copper to surface.
both cheyeza and lambeta are going to be huge open mines.
sp is down because people don't want to be trapped in long time waiting. good results will start to be confirmed soon than we expected. sells will eventually die out and mood will change. we seen this time and time again.

does not seem to be directed at the present share holders. It is directed at big players as it has nothing to change the mood of short term traders. 1200 samples completed, drilling to start, 10 times what we have so far. big figures;
Note that the release of RNS's is more random now; Monday, Friday, may be next week kalaba news who knows.

p00rman, kalaba is a so called 'Porphyry copper deposits' and they are usually open pit mines with grades between 0.4 and 1%. they are mined successfully for copper. check the types of copper mines. kalaba is 1% cu.

I don't know why some people insist on downsizing kalaba. it is as described here:

https://miningmaven.com/blog/814-arc-minerals-completes-key-production-plant-in-zambia-arcm

with 16 m ton copper oxide exposed 'at surface level' at 1% kalaba plant could produce for 160 years, at the current rate.
with the expected resources of 150 m tons sulfide copper the potential for expansion of production is massive.
kalaba never being a small option but given the expected resources at Cheyeza NvS has the right to prioritize it.
