Finally have @aressmining on the tape. Excited to hear update later this month on the met plant status and shift from Cremer Erzkontor to DLA. Very big deal for this company $ARS $ARSMF
@smalltreelittle Well, the big upside day is seemingly off the table (for now) so why be long with only additional legal challenges and potentially a return to the expensive OS&T option on the horizon? Short or flat makes sense until 2/17 hearing.
With growing evidence that $SOC still needs a variety of state and local waivers/permits to restart the pipe & SOC's promise not to flow oil while under the Geck injunction, the short thesis makes a lot more sense to me now than it did in DEC.
Investors appear to be assuming CA will win an injunction in Federal court to at least delay the pipeline. Otherwise you'd expect stock up another $10+ from here... $SOC legal fatigue is real & understandable.
ExIm 2x LOI size for $GPH mine and AAM plant. $TII & $NMG may beat GPH to mkt (long those too), but their scale is still needed. USGOV commitment to GPH remains strong.

🧐 I triple dog dare @NYSE_UAMY to say that AK ore can be processed w current equipment in Montana
⛏️I know youre working on a solution for that problem tho
⛏️I think youre addressing many of the bigly legitimate risks I highlighted
⛏️Bot $UAMY again <$6 so can we be friends?
@stonksurfing TECK, USAS, and LRV will explain it to you. PPTA also worth a call so they can explain why they aren't considering $UAMY for their offtake after having an MOU with them and doing extensive sampling work. Talk to mining experts/consultants re the Sulphur issue.
I've been a $UAMY bull since mid-2024. But major feedstock & competitive issues cannot be ignored:
🚩 $LRV cannot supply UAMY with any antimony! LRV has an exclusive & binding offtake w Wogen for ALL of their antimony. UAMY mgmt bid to buy LRV and didn't seem to know 🤯
(1/4)
SUMMARY:
💥none of $UAMY 's current feedstock plays (AK MT AUS) can actually fuel the MT smelter
💥UAMY's current feedstock could disappear if TECK or USAS execute plans for their own smelter
💥UAMY will need to find a new intl source of feedstock to fuel MT expansion (not easy)
🚩AK & MT feedstock won't work in $UAMY MT smelter. Would need to go to Mexico.
🚩 Aussie feedstock from Mandalay $ALK is low grade & can only be processed in Mexico.
