Curiosity got the better of me.

The entire Nahanni plateau region and its delicate linked ecosystems throughout is so unique on the planet. This amazing place is also the enduring domain of wildlife and therefore, highly worthy of protection in my opinion. I, for one, would like to see a total ban of mine development/encroachement there, especially zinc mines. And Advoff agrees with me. I wonder what Chef thinks.


Molybdenum (BLE), on the other hand, environmentally speaking, appears very interesting.

I do not know about you, but for some time to come, I should stick with TAH, and while waiting I am on the look for more Taheras.

Hi fellow taherians,

I just recently started taking a look at Analysts recommendations for certain stocks. Below is an example of one for Coca-Cola. Since it is the first time I have seen these just wondering if someone would be able to shed some light for me. Are the number figures what they predict the increase of Stock price will be?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Here's to a good next week for TAH!

Hi Davepbi,
Just my 3 "common sense" points about ANY pop company these days:
1, I understand (haven't checked) sugar prices are up and going up (a serious amount of ingredient of pops)
2, Plastic prices are going thru the roof (commonly used in packaging of soda)
3, Aluminum prices the same (also packaging).
I won't even mention fuel and delivery prices. Lastly: The competition in the pop industry is brutal I believe. But it's your call. No skin off my nose. If you see potential in it still, let us know where. Don't keep it to yourself .

Hey Enviro,

I wouldn't say I'm a hard-core "environmental" investor but I definitely don't buy into companies that are blatantly dumping "sludge" directly into the environment...from what I know anyway...I think there's often a pretty big difference from what a company says to what's actually happening on site! It would appear from the number of environmental assessments that CZN has gone through already (I believe 5 or 6 and they say they're far from over) that someone is on top of these guys and what they are doing. I'm not saying accidents don't happen and maybe it's not the best idea to put an industrial site in the middle of a nature preserve but none the less, I won't be making a move on this one until I know a lot more about the company and the operation. Why did you specify zinc mines, I know very little about the environmental effects of different types of metal mines and was curious if zinc is particularily bad?

Back to Tahera, sorry if I missed it, but does anyone know when Q1 results are expected? Is there a vague or specific date...I'm still hoping to buy in a bit more through my NEW self-directed RRSP (thanks again D) but it's going to take 5 business days for all the transfers and paperwork to go through...I'd like to buy before there's a run-up to the Q1 announcement.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hi,

There's a complete list of up-coming announcements on the old thread. Q1 results aren't due for some time....

Short answer = 1st Quarter results - 31 March 2006. According to the TAH website we might hear something at the end of Feb, but Peter is pretty tight lipped.

Calendar of Events

Sunday, February 26, 2006 - BMO Nesbitt Burns 2006 Global Resources Conference
Tampa, Florida
February 26th - March 1st, 2005

Peter Gillin, Chairman and CEO to present on Monday February 28th at 10:30 am.

ER. sure, zink in itself is not 'toxic', and it is an important metal for its wide use, but it is also an abundant element and there are already many zinc producing mines throughout the world, some of which found in less ecologically delicate locals. From what I read, the proposed mine in the Nahanni Plateau would also be mining almost as much LEAD.

Now, to more suitable thoughts, for starters, I am looking forwards to Tahera's introductory performance!!

I'm looking forward to anything that will cause some excitement and thus movement in the price!

Thanks Cruce et al for the date listings of announcements.

Have a great day!

Looks like it was a good time today to pick up a few more shares. I was impatient and ending up grabbing mine at $0.78. Oh well I'm sure TAH will bounce back over 80 soon enough. It's holding fairly well considering the TSX nose dive as of late.

On a side note, does anyone remember the name of the program / website that was recommended for portfolio practice. It was mentioned a while back on the old thread and I can't seem to find it. From what I recall a few people had really liked it for pretend portfolio to play around with and learn. I could definantly use some more practice. Right now it is pretty simple. I just buy TAH and sit on it. That can't go on forever. Sooner or later I'll have to diversify my portfolio and learn how to better sell on hills and buy in valleys. :-)

You can sign-up at TSX.ca, in the "My Stock List" section. It's free, and if I remember correctly, anonymous. Once you've signed-up, you input the stocks that you want to watch/simulate. You enter the number of shares and the price that you purchased at (or pretend to have purchased at) . The page automatically displays the performance of your stocks on an ongoing basis. You can also research any Canadian stock (I haven't figured out how to research American listed stocks).
They have charts but I wouldn't recommend them. There are better charts elswhere, like Stockcharts for instance. There are many other features. Anyway, check it out.

Hello again, everyone and thanks, Golfdude, for the welcome. I hope everyone is enjoying Valentine's Day, wherever you are. I am staggered to see that the number of hits/views on everyone's messages to this board tops 230,000. That means that just about everyone with shares is keeping track of what is posted here, so I'm grateful for the solid information we usually find, although I do wish Diamond Guy would drop by again and let us know what his sense is of the landscape at the moment. In any event, here's my two bits worth. We know that Peter Gillin has talked about having a RS when he has something momentous to announce, and we haven't seen one yet. So, I'm a bit surprised by the "Hold" recommendations, since it seems to me that there is good news yet to come. I'm still hoping for shares to hit $1.00 this spring, when TAhera hits full production, but I wouldn't expect much action after that unless there are new finds, given the high number of outstanding shares and limited lifespan of the Jericho mine. So that's when I'll have to take a close look at what to do next. Re. other Taheras, I'm kind of interested in Forest Gate as the next possible Tahera but am still doing my due diligence on that one. Anyone have any thoughts? Cheers, all.

Hi everyone, looks like it might be a good time to pick-up more shares at 0.74 this morning, did anyone hear anything about a market adjustment before the weekend?

Hope this doesn't violate any M.M. policies... but here's a canned message with a bunch of links that I would post in response to basher messages on a different chat board...
Have a great day!

See the LINKS BELOW to News, CBC NRs, Stockwatch, etc at the end of this message! (MANY THERE to get you started!)

Everyone was awaiting news about the commissioning of Tahera's 1st Diamond mine and Canada's 3rd, Jericho, expecting we would start seeing earnings in Q2. But just last week the Shorters and bashers got caught off guard... Tahera announced that DIAMONDs were rolling out MONTHS ahead of schedule, and there would be Q1 EARNINGS, months ahead of schedule! Want to invest in a great company, see a great return on your investment, and join short roast? ;-) Tahera is a great investment opp, being the 1st 100% Canadian publically owned and traded diamond mining company in Canada. The only 2 other operating diamond mines in Canada are 1= BHP's Ekati (98% owned by BHP of Austrailia) and 2= Diavik (60% owned by Rio of Europe!)

The present share value has not even hit the JD-1 value yet, let alone the 2.5x bigger Muskox 'included' value, or the 20+ other kim's value.
Even when the share price gets UP TO JD-1's value, or over $3 to include Muskox's value, that's not 'TAHERA's' value.
The next weeks are probably the last chance to get in at these deeply discounted prices before Canada's 3rd Diamond mine approaches Full Production (1st 100% Canadian mine)... the share price will continue climbing as FULL PRODUCTION nears at the End of THIS QUARTER, so why wait for over $1 or $2 to get in?
The news a couple months ago shows MKU-A and MKU-B with 2.5x the SIZE of JD-1 (Jericho) and with a better overall grade of diamonds... and within trucking distance to process at the Jericho (JD-1) mine processing plant (hence no capital costs to build another plant!)
The analysts were saying up to .90 or more 'just' for JD-1 and the market is just starting to get there, let alone adjust to the EXTRA 2.5x+ in size and just starting to add it to the base share value IMO! (over $1 in Q1 IMHO. Even an analyst on RobTV recently had a short term target of about $1.10 for Tahera!)
The next base, even on only 1/2 the MKU value, IMO puts Tahera's 'low' basement bottom base at OVER $1.50... then to $2-$3 by June when the earnings reports start to come in, and even higher when new Muskox numbers and mine/pit confirmation come in! :-)
JMO... but Tahera's at a prime point in it's life-cycle to invest as much as possible... as there is almost 0% downside IMO, barring a nuclear war, or a government falling or something... in which case the whole market would be screwed! ;-)
Again... JMO... but if you research ABER, Diamet, Winspear, etc... you'll see what I mean about catching this wave or getting on the train before full production next quarter! :-)
Anyone who bought Aber before full production more than doubled their money. EVERYONE who bought Winspear made money when the company was bought out for the Snap Lake find. Diamond investors that HOLD LONG, will all be winners IMO!
Have you burned a shorter lately? Isn't it time? Buy in before mine commissioning in the upcoming days, burn the shorts, and make a nice profit when the earnings coming in, or hold longer for even more profit... ;-)
If you ARE already a shareholder, remember to put in LIMIT sell Orders and Ask $5 or more for all your shares, good for 30 days and keep renewing them, to keep the shorters from using your shares.
JMO! Have a great evening and New Year! :-)

As per Financial Times... diamond people are in the "right business."
- On top of this, there has not been a major new find since Ekati in Canada. Argyle is seen as mature, and Venetia in South Africa may be depleted in a decade. (Wait for Tahera's Anuri 'Elephant' IMO!) ;-)

- Picton predicts if no further discoveries are made, there will be a $5 to $7 billion supply gap. "To cover the expected shortfall, you need to find another Botswana or two and even then you could not produce enough in time," Picton said. "Rough diamond prices will have to rise by 30 percent in real terms."
(so very soon, tack on at least another instant 30% to Diamond Mining companies due to rough increases... wait a minute, there is only 1-100% Canadian Diamond mining company mining Diamonds in Canada... :-) that's Tahera! Aber (TSX:ABZ) only owns 40% of Diavik.)

Ice on Fire
"When Rio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine went into production in 2003, Canada weighed in with 11.2 million carats, or 7.5 percent of the total world production of 144 million carats."
"In 2006, when the Jericho Diamond Project in Nunavut is scheduled to begin full production, the Canadian contribution to the world total is projected at 11.6 percent of the estimated $10.5 billion."

Jericho is sure helping that number... definitely worth the wait IMO, hanging onto and accumulating more shares, to see the 1st production results!

Ooopsss... I see MM's doesn't handle the HTML stuff too good...

Oh well... I'll leave the message there for now if no one minds...

Just for some of the links in it for new passers-by!

If anyone's interested... I'll be taking some digital photos of stuff heading up to the mine from Yellowknife and can post links with the pictrails http links...
(I still have older photo's on the construction of Tahera's fuel tanks in the Giant Mine parking lot LAST winter, before they were hauled up to Jericho... again, if anyone's curious!)

We're freezing our butts off here! -28 w/-40 wind last night, and -30 tonight! (acutally that's almost 'above' normal!)

Have a great day!
