Metals
A strong rally in base metal prices and firmer gold led the Metal and Mineral Index higher in February. London Metal Exchange (LME) copper prices spiked to US$3.93 per pound late in the month - leading other base metals higher - as some of the late-2011 gloom on the global economic outlook lifted.
"Base metal premiums over LME cash in the U.S. Midwest are also firm, with the Platts U.S. aluminum premium hitting a fresh 10-month high of 8.75 cents per pound in mid-March.
"Aside from lengthy delays in getting metal out of the LME warehouse in Detroit and lucrative warehousing deals, this strength likely reflects a significant recovery in U.S. auto assemblies, scheduled to reach 10.5 million units in Q2 - a level not seen since mid-2007. Consumers and businesses are replacing an aging fleet, with the average age of vehicles on U.S. roads now at a record of nearly eleven years, up from a normal nine."
Copper Fox Metals (CVE:CUU) is a Canadian-based resource company focused on developing the Schaft Creek deposit, one of Canada's largest undeveloped copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposits located in north western British Columbia.
