Obama added a fundamental reason to purchase physical gold & silver by allowing his Treasury Department to propose monitoring of ALL cross-border money transfers (any amount). This is the tightening of capital flows which signals monetary and economic failure. This is another reason to protect your assets and take possession of gold and silver.

There is renewed interest in neodymium and it's unique uses in magnets. Little is produced outside of China.

The only possible non Chinese, or non Chinese owned, sources for neodymium for the open market now are the Americans, privately owned MolyCorp and privately owned Thorium Energy, Inc., and the Canadians, publicly traded Great western Minerals Group and publicly traded Avalon Rare Metals.

Great Western Minerals Group (OTC: GWMGF), a company developing four rare earth projects, is up 948%, to 33 cents a share, in 2009.
That's a sluggish performance compared with Ucore Uranium (OTC: UURAF), which is developing a rare earth mine in southeastern Alaska. Shares of Ucore are up 4,181% in 2009, to 83 cents per share.

My advice, at this point, is to stand back and let the rockets cool. The speculators will move on to some other sector fairly soon. Use the time to separate the mining stories from the real mining companies.


The only possible sources for this extra production would be:
1. Lynas Corp (Mt. Weld, Australia),
2. Arafura, Ltd (Nolan's Bore, Australia)
3. Molycorp (Mountain Pass, california)
4. Great Western Minerals Group, Ltd. (Hoidas Lake, saskatchewan, Canada),
5. Avalon Rare Metals (Thor Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada), or
6. Thorium Energy, inc. (Lemhi Pass, Idaho).


MCP 29.58 +1.29. Molycorp. 52 week range 12.10 - 30.00. Began trading in August.
