🍽 Exploreco finds 2km of mineralisation and goes down -10% 

🍽 Nuclear Tech Co Claims They Can Repurpose ANY Coal Fired Plant

🤔 Exploreco finds 2km of mineralisation and goes down -10%

TNBR Headline: Filo finds even more kilometres (because hundreds of meters is for losers) of copper mineralisation at the Filo del Sol Project in San Juan, Argentina.

Official headline: Filo Mining Reports 1,028m at 1.16% CuEq, including 172m at 2.14% CuEq

Filo has had these types of monstrous intercepts for the longest time. It’s quite ridiculous and we don’t even know why we’re reporting it.

Oh, and there was another hole of 1km+ but it couldn't fit in the headline.

The Editor does not own any and is not bitter. Not even one bit.

The only question is if the C$3b company will be taken out, and if so, at what price.

We’re unsure if the stock’s sell-off today is a run-of-the-mill sell-the-news variety or if investment banks are putting a “hold” recommendation, signalling it close to or above to fair valuation in order to facilitate a buy at a cheaper price. But surely that would neeeever happen, right? Right?

It is currently down 10%, as we go into the last hour of trading.

We are watching.

👌🏼Nuclear Tech Co Claims They Can Repurpose ANY Coal Fired Plant

We’d like to highlight the word ANY.

In the fall of 2022, the US Department of Energy did a study indicating that hundreds of the existing coal power plants in the US could be repurposed into small modular reactors for nuclear energy.

Now Holtec International is saying they can repurpose ANY coal fired plant into an SMR-160.

ANY, in this case, might as well say ALL.

What Holtec International has done is gone ahead and figured out the how, and now they’re filing for a patent for this repurposing.

What a beautiful thing.

The government body wants it. The supplier wants it. Now where's the guy who writes the check?

How's that New Year's resolution going?
