a new all time high of 59.5c

and whilst there was some selling, that is to be expected. there would be some holders who would be prepared to sell regardless of the near future prospects.

Afterall, we have doubled in two months, but some charts are suggesting that we might double again in the next 3 months.

StockAnalysis have just lifted their valuation target to 92 cps. So they would have been happy to see some stock become available for sale, so that their clients could avail themselves of the opportunity.

Exco has been a long-time StockAnalysis favourite and they are particularly pleased as to how well the White Dam gold project is progressing. They note how the cash flow is increasing the freedom for EXS to explore the options for the Cloncurry project.

As StockAnalysis state, Exco is now focused on expanding nearby gold mineralisation in South Australia so that it can extend mine life beyond 3 years, while moving towards an investment decision at its Cloncurry copper project. StockAnalysis expects that the White Dam gold project will run until at least early 2014, with potential for a follow-on copper/gold project likely, once the gold rich oxide cap is removed.

When you consider that in addition to the cash flow being generated at White Dam, that there are parties lining up to assist with the development at Cloncurry, any finance concerns that might have existed some time ago, look to have now disappeared.
 
We now know that JP Morgan has been a seller in recent days, and quite possibly were selling some more yesterday afternoon. I did take a few from the sellers, but not as many as I should have.

I suspect it may be a quarterly balance of portfolio performance; they may have needed to book some profits. If so the sell-off is likely to be short-lived but still annoying.

One has to think that the selling was forced upon them by their mandates, because they would be aware that the clock is about 5 minutes to midnight, from the time when a very important decision (about moving to production one way or the other) is going to be made. Those that bought yesterday, might make some very quick profits.

Perhaps that crossing was the last of the parcel available for sale.

Now to see how much damage they have done - will it meet with much resistance to get back over 53c?

Copper Will Trade at $11,000 in a Year, Goldman Says



Copper will trade at $11,000 a metric ton in a year, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said as it raised price estimates because of swelling demand.

The forecast implies a 35 percent gain from the metals current price. The bank had predicted on Sept. 17 that copper would trade at $8,050 a ton in 12 months. Goldman today advised investors to buy the December 2011 contract as increasing demand leads to shortages of the metal.

Copper for three-month delivery traded on the London Metal Exchange jumped 23 percent in the third quarter, the most in a year, helped by falling stockpiles and a weaker dollar. LME inventories shrank by 17 percent in the period, and the U.S. Dollar Index, a six-currency gauge of the greenbacks strength, slid 8.5 percent, the most since 2002.

Supply-demand deficits look set to grow on emerging- market strength and improving demand from developed economies, which we expect to significantly outpace supply growth, drawing down inventories and creating market shortages,analysts including London-based Jeffrey Currie said in the report. We don't believe that the market is fully pricing these shortages and the potential for demand rationing that lies ahead in 2011.
 
Extracted comments from this morning notes from Shaw Stockbroking:

Exco Resources

Value Compelling

Target 80c

Spot valuation is $1.60

EXS recently announced impressive drill results from Salebury ? we anticipate growth in resources ? several rigs active in the area ? we believe that value of the ground is further indicated by the recent results.

We still believe that a deal on the CCP with one of the active players in the area is highly probable and could lead to a substantial re-rating of EXS. Our valuation of 81cps is based on relatively conservative price forecast (Cu @ US$2.61 vs spot @ US$3.50 lb and gold at 10% below spot for the next 2 years US$850 long term).


buying pattern this morning suggests to me that it is extremely similar to what it was like when Shaws were very active in the stock previously.


with copper currently sitting at US$3.73 and gold at US$1343, their valuation for EXS is way too conservative.
 
This is all coming together nicely for EXS as they sit down at the boardroom table to determine which offer for the Cloncurry project gives holders the best outcome.

METALS-Copper at two-year high on monetary easing bets
Tue Oct 5, 2010 5:08pm GMT


By Marie-Louise Gumuchian and Melanie Burton

LONDON, Oct 5 (Reuters) - Copper hit its highest in more than two years on Tuesday, as Japan unexpectedly lowered interest rates, raising expectations of further easing in other major economies, and the dollar dropped against the euro.

Benchmark copper for three-months delivery on the London Metal Exchange rallied to $8,229 a tonne, the highest since late July 2008, from a close of $8,064 on Monday. The metal used in power and construction closed at $8,175.

"Everything is just exploding on the upside. The new event really overnight was the BOJ saying it was going to ...ease monetary conditions. We've obviously also had the Fed say it's going to embark on new easing measures - who's next?" said analyst Robin Bhar of Credit Agricole. Tin rose to a new all-time high at $26,010 a tonne on persistent supply worries from top exporter Indonesia while zinc, lead and nickel and aluminium touched their highest in five months.

"Further dollar weakness is certainly driving things and that is really a response to (a) strengthening euro," Daniel Brebner, analyst at Deutsche Bank, said. "The market is reacting to further monetary accommodation out of Japan.

"We've seen very strong pricing in the precious metals and there's a bit of a sympathetic move on the base metals complex because they do react to macroeconomic policy."

The Bank of Japan pledged to pump more funds into the struggling economy and keep interest rates virtually at zero, surprising markets and stealing a march on the Federal Reserve in providing a fresh dose of economic stimulus.

The euro jumped against the dollar on reported Asian buying, pushing the greenback to an 8-1/2 month trade-weighted low.

Metals tend to benefit as the dollar falls, because a weaker dollar makes them cheaper for holders of other currencies.

In economic news, the Institute for Supply Management said its U.S. monthly non-manufacuring business activity index hit its lowest level since January.

Investors will also look out for a key jobs report later this week for further clues on the pace of recovery in the world's largest economy.

If the economic data remains lacklustre, it will likely reinforce bets that the U.S. Federal Reserve will embark on more monetary easing, which should erode dollar values further and bolster the appeal of metals as a hedge against inflation.


SUPPLY TIGHTNESS
Market balances in copper have been tightening for many months, with stocks in LME warehouses tumbling more than 30 percent since the middle of February. Tuesday's data showed LME stocks down 350 tonnes to 374,100 tonnes.

Zinc closed near five-month highs of $2,313, at $2,312, up 3.7 percent from its $2,230 at the close on Monday. Among other metals, aluminium hit $2,388.75 a tonne, its most expensive since mid-April, before finishing at $2,380 a tonne, up from $2,363.

Battery material lead rallied to $2,340, its highest since April 27, and wound up at $2,311 from $2,277, while stainless steel ingredient nickel ended at $24,700 versus $24,140 after hitting $24,800 a tonne, its highest since early May.

Tin registered a four percent rise to finish at $25,900, as against $24,900 at the close on Monday. Indonesia's refined tin output may fall nearly 6 percent this year as heavy rains hit mining and more easily mined onshore reserves are being depleted, an analyst at the International Tin Research Institute said.
 
All bullish signals tonight!

Exco has been awarded 2010 Queensland Explorer of the Year this evening in Brisbane.

also re comments on "outstanding breakout alert" thread, EXS have a good presentation which has done the rounds of the latest "Mining 2010 Resources Convention Presentation" and I assume there will continue to be support of their SP from the IVA proximity and accrual of shares related to this....I have been accumulating heavily as this seems like a much lower risk buy of a solid producing company with good prospects and with a bit of takeover support thrown in. Not to mention that they play with the 2 most popular (currently) metals around and looking for more with 3 drill rigs.

note also this announcement:
ASX release said:
4 November 2010
Market Release (via electronic lodgement)
EXPLORATION UPDATE
FURTHER POSITIVE RESULTS AT SALEBURY & FISHER CREEK
Salebury
• ECDD007 intersected 46m @ 1.43% Cu & 1.51 g/t Au including 14m @ 1.84% Cu & 2.45 g/t
Au, and 11m @ 2.50% Cu & 2.57 g/t Au.
• These positive results from the latest round of drilling confirm the presence of a sizeable
mineralised structure at Salebury. Further drilling will be carried out with a view to establishing an
initial resource.
Fisher Creek
• ECDD006 was drilled to follow-up on previous high grade intersections and returned 21m @
1.08% Cu & 0.47 g/t Au including 9m @ 1.59% Cu & 0.89 g/t Au.
Future Work
• Exploration is ongoing with three drill rigs employed across a number of key targets. Priority has
been given to the Hazel Creek project where widespread visual Iron Ore ,Copper,Gold (IOCG)
mineralisation has been intersected and initial assays confirm typical IOCG grades.
 
I agree mr. jeff

Exco is well managed & with the cashflow from White Dam (Gold Project) now flowing, they can do all the drilling they want.
This company has often had a tight cash flow in the past, this may now be over.
The decision on the CCP should come by years end & will set the business up to have a good cash flow from both Gold & Copper.

cheers
