Sign up for our FREE newsletter here: http://bit.ly/ekmnewsletter

Louis Lepry, President & CEO of Tintina Resources (TSX.V : TAU) explains what a massive sulfide is.

From Wiki:Volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits (VMS ) are a type of metal sulfide ore deposit, mainly Cu-Zn-Pb which are associated with and created by volcanic-associated hydrothermal events in submarine environments.

These deposits are also sometimes called volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) deposits. They are predominantly layered accumulations of sulfide minerals that precipitate from hydrothermal fluids on or below the seafloor in a wide range of ancient and modern geological settings. In modern oceans they are synonymous with sulfurous plumes called black smokers.

They occur within environments dominated by volcanic or volcanic-derived (e.g., volcano-sedimentary) rocks, and the deposits are contemporary and coincident with the formation of associated volcanic rocks. As a class, they represent a significant source of the world's Cu, Zn, Pb, Au, and Ag ores, with Co, Sn, Ba, S, Se, Mn, Cd, In, Bi, Te, Ga and Ge as mining by-products.

Roger Wiegand of Trader Tracks and http://www.Webeatthestreet.com explains what futures are.

From wiki: A futures contract is a standardized contract between two parties to exchange a specified asset of standardized quantity and quality for a price agreed today (the futures price or the strike price) with delivery occurring at a specified future date, the delivery date. The party agreeing to buy the underlying asset in the future, the "buyer" of the contract, is said to be "long", and the party agreeing to sell the asset in the future, the "seller" of the contract, is said to be "short". The terminology reflects the expectations of the parties -- the buyer hopes or expects that the asset price is going to increase, while the seller hopes or expects that it will decrease. Note that the contract itself costs nothing to enter; the buy/sell terminology is a linguistic convenience reflecting the position each party is taking (long or short).

Mining 101: Ep 17.What is Indium?

Sign up for our FREE newsletter here: http://bit.ly/ekmnewsletter

Greg Johnson, President & C.E.O. of South American Silver, explains what Indium is.

From Wiki: Indium is a chemical element with chemical symbol In and atomic number 49. This rare, very soft, malleable and easily fusible post-transition metal is chemically similar to gallium and thallium, and shows the intermediate properties between these two. Indium's current primary application is to form transparent electrodes from indium tin oxide in liquid crystal displays and touchscreens, and this use largely determines its global mining production. It is widely used in thin-films to form lubricated layers (during World War II it was widely used to coat bearings in high-performance aircraft). It is also used for making particularly low melting point alloys, and is a component in some lead-free solders.

Keith Schaefer, editor of Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin (http://www.oilandgas-investments.com) explains what fracing is.

From wiki: Hydraulic fracturing, often called fracking, fracing or hydrofracking, is the process of initiating and subsequently propagating a fracture in a rock layer, employing the pressure of a fluid as the source of energy. The fracturing, known as a frack job (or frac job), is done from a wellbore drilled into reservoir rock formations, in order to increase the extraction rates and ultimate recovery of oil and natural gas.

Mining 101: Ep 14. What are CRDs?

 Sign up for our FREE newsletter here: http://bit.ly/ekmnewsletter

Lenic Rodriguez, President and CEO of Aurcana Corp explains what CRDs are.

From infomine: Carbonate Replacement Deposits are Phanerozoic, high-temperature (more than 250 C) deposits, consisting of stratigraphically discordant Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu skarn and massive sulfide bodies associated with intrusive stocks and hosted by carbonate rocks.

Other characteristics:
In average contain about 10-15 M tones of ore, but could go up to 50 Mt;
High-grade polymetallic ores: 60-600 g/t Ag, 2-12% Pb, 2-18% Zn, trace to 2% Cu and trace to 6 g/t Au;
Types: Pb-Zn-Ag (+/- Mn); Cu-Zn (+/- Ag, Au, W); Cu-Au (+/- Ag);
The carbonate rock contact with sulfide or skarn is razor sharp;
Gangue is different for: skarn (garnets, pyroxenes, amphiboles, wollastonite, rhodonite, magnetite, serpentine); and non-skarn (calcite, fluorite, quartz, dolomite, baritone, gypsum, rhodocrosite, ankerite) deposits;
Are amenable to low-cost mining methods and have a minimum environmental footprint (limestone is an ARD inhibitor).

Mining 101: Ep 12. How Do You Find a Vein?

Chairman of Exeter Resource Corp. Yale Simpson explains how you find a vein that is worth mining.

From wiki:
The difference between 19th century and modern mining techniques and the type of ore sought is based on the grade of material being mined and the methods of mining which are used. Historically, hand-mining of gold ores permitted the miners to pick out the lode quartz or reef quartz, allowing the highest-grade portions of the lodes to be worked, without dilution from the unmineralised wall rocks.

Modern mining using larger machinery and equipment forces the miners to take low-grade waste rock in with the ore material, resulting in dilution of the grade.

However, modern mining and assaying allows the delineation of lower-grade bulk tonnage mineralisation, within which the gold is invisible to the naked eye. In these cases, veining is the subordinate host to mineralisation and may only be an indicator of the presence of metasomatism of the wall-rocks which contains the low-grade mineralisation.

For this reason, veins within hydrothermal gold deposits are no longer the exclusive target of mining, and in some cases gold mineralization is restricted entirely to the altered wall rocks within which entirely barren quartz veins are hosted.

Mining 101: Ep 9. What is Chromite?

Peter Cliff, President and CEO of Empire Mining, explains what Chromite is and what it is used for.

From Wiki: Chromite is found in peridotite from the Earth's mantle. It also occurs in layered ultramafic intrusive rocks. In addition, it is found in metamorphic rocks such as some serpentinites. Ore deposits of chromite form as early magmatic differentiates. It is commonly associated with olivine, magnetite, serpentine, and corundum.

Mining 101: Ep 8. What is a Market Maker?

Market Maker Brendan E. Cryan explains what market makers are, and what they do.

From Wiki: A market maker is a company, or an individual, that quotes both a buy and a sell price in a financial instrument or commodity held in inventory, hoping to make a profit on the bid-offer spread, or turn. From a market microstructure theory standpoint, market makers are net sellers of an option to be adversely selected at a premium proportional to the trading range at which they are willing to provide liquidity.

Mining 101: Ep 7. What is a Vein?

Yale Simpson, co-chairman of Extorre, explains what a vein is and how they are formed.

From Wikipedia: A vein is a distinct sheetlike body of crystallized minerals within a rock. Veins form when mineral constituents carried by an aqueous solution within the rock mass are deposited through precipitation. The hydraulic flow involved is usually due to hydrothermal circulation. Veins are classically thought of as being the result of growth of crystals on the walls of planar fractures in rocks, with the crystal growth occurring normal to the walls of the cavity, and the crystal protruding into open space. This certainly is the method for the formation of some veins. However, it is rare in geology for significant open space to remain open in large volumes of rock, especially several kilometers below the surface. Thus, there are two main mechanisms considered likely for the formation of veins: open-space filling and crack-seal growth.

Mining 101: Ep 5. What is Market Cap?

Kingsgate Consolidated chairman Ross Smyth-Kirk explains what Market Cap is.

From Wiki: Market capitalization (often market cap) is a measurement of size of a business enterprise (corporation) equal to the share price times the number of shares outstanding (shares that have been authorized, issued, and purchased by investors) of a publicly traded company. Market capitalization could represent the public opinion of a company's net worth and is a determining factor in stock valuation.
