Great point, bot_feeder.

I have been a long term skeptic of 'hydrogen economy' myself. Thanks for sharing your research.

Hi Mark,


While I am at it, I remember you mentioning cobalt as another inflation hedge metal. I am aware of only two cobalt miners and am wondering whether you have any opinion on them. Geovic Mining (GMC.TO) is starting up very large cobalt mine complex in Cameroon and Fortune Mineral (FT.TO) has a cobalt/ lead/ gold mine in Canada. FT also have a coal deposit. Do you follow these companies? Like most junior miners, they are very out of favor right now.

Thanks Mark,


Thanks for your response! I really appreciate your research. You are one of 3 analysts that I bookmarked and read regularly. Keep up the good work!

I don't know why some are so hostile to your writing. Why don't they make detailed counter arguments? The we can learn something from their opposition. Perhaps they don't like the black cowboy hat? LOL

Platinum price may be affected by this news from Japan:


Mitsui Mining new autocatalyst uses silver, not platinum

TOKYO, April 23 (Reuters)

- Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co Ltd said on
Wednesday it has developed a new catalyst for diesel engine cars that replaces the use of platinum with silver, a less conventional but much cheaper metal.

"Silver will totally replace platinum in this new autocatalyst that we've developed," a company spokesman said.
By substituting platinum with silver, the cost of precious metals in the production of autocatalysts, which clean car exhaust fumes, would be cut by more than 90 percent, the company said.
